lad of "fifty-four and a quarter"
in search of a wealthy wife. EN-

Good Friday observance is be-
ing urged this year. The church
es are arranging for services. The
business places expect to be clos
ed part of the day. School in
town and a few of the rural
schools where children can attend
church services will be closed all
day Friday.
This custom is gaining favor
and meeting with increasing re-
sponse in a majority of American
cities and it is hoped that Wolf
Point will join in the same prac-
tice.
