that United States Marshal John c..

long standing, having at one time
proved a capable sheriff of Yellow

AS a definite example he drew atten-
ton to the life of both Gene Tunney
and Jack Dempsey He said these men
would never have attained the posi-
ton they now have in the sporting
world had it not been for the clean
way in which they started life and
which they both continue.
The only young man featured on the
program was Hubert Simmons, who
talked for "the boys" The young man
had very we'll prepared speech and
showed a clever manner in his delivery
of same. He drew attention that the
older boys-the fathers-must ap-
preciate the fact that they were young
once and should take their boys into
their confidence The inference was
given that the fathers should at all
times set an example that would be
seen by their sons.
The speaker of the evening was
then introduced by Mr.. Rowan in a
few we'll chosen remarks. Judge Stong
is no stranger to the Red Lodge peo-
pie and his address was well appre-
ciated.
Judge Stong commenced by stating
that something startling musts hap
pen before we realize we are living.
He said this was apt to give better
relationship between the father and
his son. He said much comment was
rife at the present time as to the con
dition of the coming generation and
that was a condition that was rife
in past generations and would con-
tinue the same in coming generations.
The condition at present is no worse
in his mind than at any other period,
the only difference today being that
the world is more populated and news
of tragedies are more easily reported.
Judge Stong stated that today the
greatest trouble was that people were
apt not to understand the progress Of
life. The change of modes of living
and rapid development of science has
been more developed during the past
hundred years and surpasses all pas
ing before. Life moves faster and the
danger is in being unable to. place
things in their proper values.
Those who are thinkers must give
their thoughts so others may learn
They must educate those who are I'M
lettered. The talent of youth must be
drawn out and the worthwhile things
developed. Not only must the value
of money be learned but thrift must
be encouraged; the giving of service
must be learned; respect for power
Judge Stong made powerful adj
dress and one that was duly appreci-
ated by all present. He closed his re-
marks by stating that if every father
would devote five minutes each day
in talking over matters of various
kinds with his son, many of the fam
lily problems arising today would be
eliminated.

The Poly aggregation failed to get

Enthusiasm greater even than
that which greeted AL Jolson in "The

him in his second Warner Bros. VII

which is breaking all records for at
