H. N. MARION GIVES
MEMORIAL ADDRESS

H. N. Marion was at Poplar on
Memorial Day to deliver the ad
dress. He went through here on
No. 2 in the morning when re-
turning from the state K. of C.
convention. Mrs. Marion drove
down to Poplar and brought him
home after the Memorial day pro
gram
In his address he emphasized
the thought that the soldiers in all
of Americas wars had fought for
some principle that was held high
er than material gain. He said
that merely decorating the graves
of soldiers once a year means
little if people do not resolve to
carry out the principles for which
these men died.
His address was very well re-
ceived.

FROSH WOMEN DOWN
SOPHOM0RES, 35-9

The following. clipped from a
Missoula papers story of a base
ball game between two teams of
State university girls, is of special
local interest because Margaret
and Una Randall daughters of ].
B. Randall, were members of the
winning team. 1t is evident that
Wolf Point girls are a sensation
in feminine ball circles at the U.
Here is what the Missoula pa
per says in part:
With an average of five runs in
an inning, the freshmen trounced
the sophomore team in the first
game of the women's inter-class
baseball tournament. The score
was 35-9.
Lacking both heavy hitters and
speedy co operation in the field.
the sophomores were completely
overwhelmed by the frosh, who
were far superior at the plate and
whose work in the field excelled
that of the second-year team. The
sophomores were entirely off form
and made many errors in the field,
principally of fumbles,
which the frosh took advantage of. |
quite few bases and |
several runs on such plays.
Highlights of the game were
our home-runs made by the fresh
men. Margaret Randall, captain
IT. the team, crossed the home
1late on her own strike twice,
While Una Randall and Lucille
'orenson each had one home-run
o her credit. The cooperation of
he pitcher-frst base combination
f the frosh team chalked up sew
raj outs on the sophs. Una Ran
all, frosh shortstop, proved a find
catching flies, putting out sew s
raj second year men" during the

MACPIES ARE KILLING
SOUTHSIDE GAME BIRDS

]. l.. Fugelsbo of the Southside
was in Wolf Point last week and
said that he had noticed that the
magpies had been destroying the
nests of the game birds and song
birds. He suggested that if peo-
pie who go out hunting would
make practice of killing, magpies
wherever they are seen, or of des-
troying their nests and eggs it
would help to rid the country of
this pest.
In some places the Rod and Gun
club sponsors hunts of predatory
birds and animals and magpies
and crows are on the black list
and due to be shot on sight.
Mr.. Fugelsbo says he has been
in this country for twenty years
and he has noticed that the grouse
have been decreasing year by
year. This he thinks is largely
due to magpies killing the young.
Since an attempt is being made |
to propagate large flock of Hun
garian pheasants and quail on the |
it is desirable that the
birds that prey upon these birds
be killed off as rapidly possible.
Magpies nests average six or seven
eggs to the nest, and for this rea-
son this variety of birds is in
much faster than those
birds that only hatch three or four
young at time.

The most destructive fire in the
history of Williston occurred last
Friday night about 8 o'clock dur

lightning struck the Montana-Da-

which destroyed half dozen

he had been only. a few seconds

PROF. NJ. C. ABBOTT DELIVERS
ADDRESS TO CLASS ON
MONDAY NIGHT

The 16 members of the class of
1929, Wolf Point high school, were
awarded diplomas Monday eve
ming at appropriate commence
ment exercises. Miss Margaret
Alrick delivered the valedictory
address and Norman Nedrud the
salutatory. Prof ~ c. Abbott,
member of the faculty of the State
seven years superintendent of the
Havre public schools, made the
address to the class. His theme
was "Whither Modern YOUTH" He
took the stand that the alarm so
much expressed over the future
of our rising generation was
scarcely more than has been
voiced concerning past gener-
ations, and has no more cause
He believed that young men and
women of the present would aver
age we'll with those of the past
and were even keener in their
desire to attain success. Better
opportunities than ever before
are offered earnest students to
thoroughly equip themselves for
the responsibilities that will fall
to them
Pays Compliments
Prof. Abbott paid high tribute |
to the people of Montana as an
extra high type of citizen, with
great loyalty to the cause of edu-
cation. He congratulated Wolf
Point on it's schools and it's wis
dom in retaining at their head for
ten years so able an educator as
Frank H. Livingston.

tory, and Prof. Abbott's address
