LIBERTY THEATRE TO
SHOW FOUR PROGRAMS

Owing to special arrangements
made through his connection with
the film exchanges, Mr.. Severson
has just closed a deal whereby
patrons of the Liberty theatre
will be given the latest and great
est productions that this vicinity
has ever enjoyed.
The Liberty is inaugerating a
new policy starting Feb. 10Th,
whereby four entire changes of
program will be offered each week
instead of three as in the past. If
the extra program receives the
support necessary to maintain it,
this policy will be continued,
otherwise a change will again be
made back to three programs each
week.
The schedule for changes will
be as follows: Sunday and Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, and Satur-
day only.

which it originates.
The big question now is wheth-
Ell this court decision is retroac-
tive and if so how far back it
will reach. Thursday the county
board and the school officers
agreed that funds arising from
this source will be segregated
from January 1, 1927 and the de-
cision of the court will be await
ed as to penalty and interest col

4 H CLUBS INCREASING
YEARLY in IMPORTANCE

That All club work is gradually
but surely establishing itself is
more evident every day. Only a
few years ago the name of this
great movement was known to
but a few leaders and to the boys
and girls engaged in it. Today it
is not surprising to have the best
minds and the biggest of business
organizations contribute to its
promotion.
Roosevelt county boys and girls
clubs last year completed some OF
the best pieces of work ever con
tributed by juniors to the upbuild-
ing of agriculture in this county.
Plans for the coming year again
give them opportunity to take
their places in community build
ing through the demonstration
work which is the foundation of
the club plan.
To Include Many Lines
While complete plans for All
club work in Roosevelt county
have not been announced and de
pend somewhat upon requests
from from interested groups, the
program will probably include
club work in potato production,
corn production clothing, swine
feeding, and possibly some poul-
try work if interest warrants it's
inclusion.
Boys and girls clubs will be
organized in all communities
where a sufficient sized group
can be found and where arrange
ments can be made for a local
leadership.

Virginia Honors
Lincoln's Memory

RICHMOND, Va, Feb. 13.-For
the first time in its history, the
lower house of the Virginia gene
raj assembly today adjourned to
honor the memory of Abraham
Lincoln.
r. Lindsay Gordon, who intro
duced the resolution calling for
adjournment, in a eulogy of Lin
coin said that "every southern
gentleman now agrees with Lin
coin on the question of slavery"
and that his death at the hands OF
a southern lunatic" was a severe
blow to the south.

That Handy One-Piecv Jersey E1ock!
WEAREB MUST BE CAREFUL IN SELECTING IT, THOUGII-COLOR is MLLM-
PORTANT FACTOR IN MAKING CHOICE
BY HARRIET

THE one-piece jersey froek func-
L lions so perfectly for ideal
under : the winter coat wear that
every woman really should have at
least one.
But she should be careful in Sc
lectfng it. For jersey frocks hold
the unfortunate power of being
able to accent defects in Milady's
figure.
Choosing a jersey dress that
will really do something to i'm
prove ones appearance requires
thought and good taste. Neck
lines, sleeves, s%ilhouettes and belt
lines all must be considered. Color
is all-important for becomingness
but line holds primary considera-
ton.
Many to Pick From
New jerseys give IL a VIDE
choice. A novelty jersey has a
tweed effect, others are shot with
color and metal threads, some are
polka dotted, checked and plaided.
The newest soft material of jersey
extraction is kashatulla, a ma
terial that has the resiliency OF
Jersey and the body of kasha.
Once the material is selected, the
of fashioning 1t enters.
The stout woman never should try
to veal a simple, straightline Jer-
sey with a belt around it, even II
its skirt has plenty of fullness OF
knee flares. Only the 1.-the young
figures can be smart in this type.
One-Piece Type
l show today a one-piece type of
frock that is unusually well suited
to the fuller figure. 1t is OF gray
kashatulla, with a darker gray
suede belt and three gray leather
buttons that hang from loops OF
gray ribbon.
This frock moulds the figure to
the low waistline and then
achieves grace and a slenderizing
effect by a tightly pleated skirt
that is joined to the bodice under
the .DelJ.
Perhaps it is the collarless neck
combined with the diagonal clos
ing of the waist and a single dag
onal tuck that breaks the wearer's
width and gives her the look of a
much smaller woma II. The
sleeves add a dainty touch with
their tlaring cuffs.
The choice of a hat to wear with
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1928-02-17

a one-piece jersey dress has its
problems too. A stout woman
should never wear a brimless hat.
But she should avoid one with
much of a brim because that adds
width. This mushroom shape OF
the softest felt adds enough front
brim to shade the eyes while its
narrow side brim is gracefully
flexible and hugs the neck.
New Tweed Weave
The second frock is the new
tweed weave of jersey, in a Goya
red. For the. young woman. Of
slender grace, the Il piece dress
of nipped-in waistline and tucked
skirt that flares at the hips is per-

feet. 1t gives her roomy walking
space, is supple so she can wrap her
coat around her easily and it sug-
gests youth by its very simplicity.
This model has the baby-V neck
line,-a new one that promises to
be popular this spring. Its tight
sleeves are cuff-less, to correspond
with the neck. a scarf in Goya
red, with a deep red border, gives
a touch of color.
Other accessories for the simple
jersey suit are shown here, too.
OF course there are beads,-large
colored pearls in single strand. The
bracelet is a new sports variety
of heavily worked gold, in Italian
design.

secretary also are members OF
the executive committee.
Action on several matters dis
cussed during the convention was
taken in resolutions calling for
concerted action by the associa-
ton.
One resolution calls for court
action on a friendly basis against
a board of commissioners to gain a
supreme court decision on the
full liability of commissioners in
refunding to school districts
funds which should have been
credited to school districts on ac-
count of interest on delinquent
taxes.
Resolutions were passed urging
relief for school districts attended
by Indian students from reserva-
tions, which are not taxable. 1t
was pointed out that the federal
government should support the
tuition of these students.
A resolution was also passed
authorizing a petition be sent the
next legislature asking a new law
which shall state that the penalty
and interest on delinquent school
taxes shall follow the taxes and
thus be credited to the various
school districts.
Resolutions authorizing a state
wide education survey and for in
vestigation of the dual system Of
school government, which it was
declared, still exists in many
counties of the state, We're also
approved by the delegates.

Mr.. Livingston spoke IN "Collec-

Chancellor Brannon advocated a
modification of the present sys-
TEN under which school monies
are distributed. His address, in
common with other opinions ex-
pressed, was in part an argument
for a change from the census as a
basis of distribution to attendance
and number of teachers employed.
Two great problems face the
states school system, the chancel-
Tor declared, one growing out of
provisions of the Montana consti.

Non-taxable properties, especial
w in the counties in which Indian
reservations are located, were
cited by Mr.. Livingston as a cause
contributing to high school levies
or lack of adequate funds in some
parts of the state. State lands on
which taxes are not paid and
tracts in irrigation districts are
other classes of %tax-exempt pro
perty seriously affecting school
school funds in some counties.
Possible Relief
Mr.. Livingston referred to an
instance in the state of Washing
ton to illustrate a possible source
Of relief from untaxed Indian
lands. Several years ago. he said,
congress passed a bill in which
was appropriated money for the
payment of taxes on Indian land,
and he thought that the same
system was worthy of a trial in
Montana. The acuteness OF the
situation in Montana arising from
untaxed properties should pro
mote the taking of any consistent
action, while more than $3.50. 600
in interest paid on delinquent
taxes and in penalties would be
added to the school funds of the
state if such payments were not
diverted to the general funds of
counties.

S1Cin1ming Club
for Women NOW,
Numbers 5000
BIZ NEA Scrrice

By NEA Scrrice
Swimming is getting to be the
great American sport for women,
according to Gertrude Ederle. ia
nous first woman to swim the Eng
fish Channel.
"Wher I joined my swimming
club seven years ago" she said,
there we're fifty women in it. Now
there are 5000. This is indicative
of similar enthusiastic increase in
the swimming ranks all over the
United States.
Another indication of the ever
increasing interest paid to swim
ming by women is the prodigous
number of pools that are being built.
I have heard it estimated that in
the last three years more pools have
been opened for women than in the
twenty years before.
"Of course, this increase in swim
ming among women is due largely
to the contests, races, exhibitions
and so on. But it is also due to the
fact that the value of swimming as
an exercise is appreciated now, and
high schools, colleges and women's
clubs all have their courses.
For exercise, of course, swimming
can not be beaten. 1t calls into
play all of ones muscles. The real
value of swimming is attested by
the fact that spinal cases, infantile
paralysis cases and many other
crippled people are now given SWIM
ming regularly"

Defining
NObOdy,S
Business
BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

The General Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs decided during its recent
convention that if married women
want careers which lead outside the
home, it is nobody's business save
theirs and their husbands
Here is some excellent good sense.
One thing now wrong with wom-
en-, verify believe, is the effort they
make trying to lend an ear to so
much advice. Folks that have not
yet succeeded in making a success
other own lives are telling the
women what to do
The whole world is engaged in a
loud-sreaking contest concerning
plans for women.
Good Despite Croakers
And. after all the rumpus has
died down. we shall probably find
that in spite of our alaruns things
have adjusted themselves very neat
ly, the croakers Notwithstanding
Men have never been harassed by
these floods of admonition. They
shape their lives to suit their own
fancy and if they make a mess of
things they take the blame. Women
should be permitted the same
privilege If some want neither
husbands nor children, let them
have careers. The world will wag
along and children will be born in
about the same numbers without
their efforts in that direction.
This Would Help
And what's more, if women.
either within or without organiza-
tons, would give up looking after
somebody else's business and watch
after their own affairs more closely
the world and women would be
vastly benefited.
The real helper is one who giveo
help, and not so much advice
Promoters and managers of this
forced and hot-house variety Of up
lift often do more mischief than
good.
Seemingly we have gone half-mad
on the subject of managing the
women and it's leading to no good
results. We need only one organ
ization for reform. And that should

Dear Mo11-Things do happen to

out my having had any part in
the matter, Fate has just used me
for pawn again.
In the first place, this is my last
week as a style model I was not

She says no one ever has worn

out of my particular combination
of lines and angles.

like a hotel and we might stop
and get some food.
1t proved to be just that. Be-
fore dinner we surveyed the bath

nothing I have ever seen. I was
enchanted by the place, and after
tasted their fried chicken and
waffles, I was maudlin about it.
Alan didn't say much.
During the dinner, raved on,
and Alan said that there was nc
reason why we should not come
out and stay during the summer.

would be hot anyhow, and that
Mary wanted a vacation and we
could pension her until fall-if
my work were not too important
to keep me in the city.
I thought of the good swim I
could have every day, and of how
I could play tennis in the after
noon, and clothes and careers
seemed very unimportant, so I told
Alan I'd gladly quit my job for a
summer on the shore.
Before we went back to town we
had reserved a suite overlooking
the water, and that was that. But
Alan did give himself away, and I'm
perfectly SIRE he had it all planned
that we would go there, and that
he would let me sell myself on the
idea rather than suggest it himself.
Well, anyhow, that wasn't the
oueerest part. After we had COM
