ANNUAL BALL
OF FIRE DEPT
WILL BE SAME ENJOYABLE
OCCASION ONLY MORE so
SAY THE BOYS

When the Wolf Point Volunteer
Fire department announces its
annual ball, always on or near
Lincolns birthday, the people OF
the community always get ready
for an extra good time. And
folks are getting ready right now
because the bills say Friday, Feb
ruary 10, is the joyful date.
Worthy Purposes
These yearly functions are
plarned with the double purpose
of bringing the people of the
town and surrounding country to-
gether for fine social time and
reviving their interest and renew
ing the opportunity for their fin
ancial support to common
cause, strictly essential to the
welfare of the city. People do not
need have the dancing habit or
even be able to dance in order to
buy a few tickets for this annual
event. The money made on the
dance goes to purchase needed
fire fighting equipment. No one
IS restricted to the standard price
of one dollar per ticket. Five and
SO are common amounts found
each wear on the list of the ticket
selling committee. Fire is a
source of danger from which we
are never free, and from which
we cannot be too safe.
Efficient and Willing
Wolf Point has one of the most
efficient and willing sets OF lire
men to be found in any small
city. They have saved us from
many bad fires and never fail to
respond, night or day, Being a
member of the department is
stern duty that costs the men IN
time, ruined clothing, and incon-
yenience. Their compensation is
almost nothing, outside of the sat
isfaction of duty done.
The committee is preparing
some new features to make thls
years Firemen's dance more run
than ever. Let's buy tickets and
go.

CHARLES PADDOCK
ATHLETE in FILMS
SAYS "HIGH SCHOOL HERO
GIVES TRUE PICTURE OF
MODERN YOUTH

Charles Paddock, who plays the
role of the coach in High School
Hero" coming to the Liberty
theatre Thursday and Saturday,
also matinee Thursday is a strong
advocate Of high schccooii athletics.
This famous sprinter, who is
probably one of Americas few
great athletes to make good in mo-
ton pictures believes that high
school and all that it embodies, its
studies, sports and associations is
one of Americas greatest institu-
tions.
q am glad that this picture is
dealing with the true side OF
school life" he says. 1T shows
that the younger boys are just as
sincere in their trays as regular
sportsmen.
athletics are a big feature in
this picture and it is true to life
because athletics plays bigger
mart in the average boys life than
fanvone would realize. 1t not only
prepares his health, mind and body
for the task that awaits him wher
he leaves school, but it teaches hin
loyalty and the determination never
to give up.
81 am glad that ] play the roll
of the coach in this story. It is no
only a pleasure to work with thes'
boys. but it is stimulus to SCI
their tireless efforts to succeed ant
their undying enthusiasm.
High School Hero" is said to b
vivid picture Of the moderi

these young people to be yer
much what their parents wer
twenty or more years ago. Clea
minded as a rule, impulsiye, ou
for good time but decidedly NOR

cinderella, - will be given as
a play in four acts and prologue.
This performance, given as matt
nee, will be particularly for the
children, although adults will find
it equally attractive. 1.-THE Night
ingale,' a Chinese fantasy, will be
the evening offering of the tireless
little actors. The marionettes, fig
ures operated by strings, were used
before human actors ever appeared
on stage. They appear to present
the plays, in a beautiful setting, at
tractively costumed, while in real
ity it is the puppet master behind
the scenes that is responsible for
the seemingly human work of the
actors. The puppet master changes
his voice to fit each character, and
so the play goes on.
Further details of this unique en-
tertainmcnt will be announced in
the near future, Mrs. Norman c.
