talligcntly on account of not keeping
good COW testing records on the in
dividual COWS in their herd.
Why would it not also be a splen-
did time to test for tuberculosis and
sell the rcactors that pass state in
spection to the butchers. Sooner or
later the TB test is going to be
prevalent in all districts and in
practically all herds except those
few who establish TB herds and sell
pasteurized milk. 1t is estimated
that about 10 per cent Of the dairy
cattle in Imperial Valley have TB.
That is not bad. Therefore, why
cannot we in the valley, at least,
look this matter squarely in the face
and read the handwriting on the
wall that saws, ''Test now, rest lat
er. The sooner the better,' and cut
that l. per cent 10 ! per cent or less.
There is another test, the abortion
test, that is receiving the approval
stamp from many of the best breed
crs. 1t might also be a good time to
learn more about this test if bother
ed with abortion and start the abor-
sion rcartors to the butcher undcr
present high prices.
II YOU are thinking Of cleaning
up yom herd, do it now!

Wolf POINT LOSES
GAME TO Miles CITY

The high school football team
went to Miles City last Saturday
and played the fast Custer County
high school team. The score was
33 to in favor of Miles City
Our team has the distinction of be-
ing the only one to score against
Miles City this year. Charles
Hanson made the touchdown for
the Wolves after a S4-yard dash
in the third quarter. The other
two points were made when Bech-
tel tackled a Miles City player be-
hind his own goal line.
A play-by-play account of this
game was furnished us by Coach
Boe, but lack of time to set it up
prevents us from using 1t this
week.
Wolf Point will play at Poplar
this afternoon, and the Poplar
team will play a return game
here next Friday afternoon, which
will be the last game of the sea-
son.

forcement of prohibition"
Answering a question put to
him by Gov. Smith in a recent
speech as to whether he-Hughes
was satisfied with present con-
ditions, he said: "Most decidedly
no. But I must add Aat | do not
wish to see matters made worse
and l believe that would be the re-
suit of Smiths election"
Mr.. Hughes reiterated that Gov.
Smith was figuring a sham bat

HARD LUCK FOR POOR
EDWARDS, WE'RE STINGY

Are Wolf Point business men
stingy?
The impression is that they are
most generous and always ready
to dig down into their jeans for
any worthy cause or enterprise.
Now comes one Thomas Ed
wards and with iconoclastic kicks
skaters the impression. He says
Wolf Pointers are not only stingy,
they are real cheap skates. "Why
7 walk into a store and ask for
little help, and does the proprietor
up and hand me dollar? he
does not. Maybe he hands be a
quarter, and maybe it's only a
measIy little dime" Thus speaks
Thomas Edwards, who is a con-
niseur of the various brands OF
human kindness and charity, for
he has panhandled the country
from Dan to Beersheba and back
again. But despite the unfayor-
able impression he seems 10 nave
of the city, it is said that he re-
fused to move on to more profit

reported that one farmer offered
to take him out into the country
and give him his board for Choir

Congressman Haugen, sponoreu
the McNary-Haugen farm bh' ap-

Herbert Hoover for president.
Among some of his statements
were these:
"Mr. Hoover has greater Know

is Thoroughly familiar with every
