new DATE FOR EQUITY
STOCKHOLDERS MEET

The meeting of the Equity stock
holders which was to have been
held at the Palm Room of the
Sherman hotel last Monday after
noon has been postponed until
Feb. 9. The severe cold weather
of Monday kept most of the mem
bers away Mr. Stebbins says
that the proposition of opening an
oil station will be the chief sub
ject to be brought up at the
meeting, but that is is not a stock
selling proposition, and no one
need fear that he will be solicited
to purchase stock if he attends
this meeting.
The weather will probably mod
crate by February 8, week from
Saturday, and it is hoped that
there may be a large attendance.
The hour is set for 2 p. m. and the
place is to be the Palm room of
the Sherman hotel as before.

SOUTH AMERICA AT
The INAUGURATION

Buenos Aires Whatever may
be President-elect Hoover's plans
for a simple and transformations in
auguration, it appears very likely
that his new found friends of Cen
tral and South America will make
it resplendent with diplomatic,
military and naval uniforms to a
degree probably never equalled in
Washington.
This is the manner in which
many of the republics he visited
are planning to return the honor
he accorded them. Some are
sending special embassies, of high
government officials or prominent
citizens of rank as near as posi-

generals as naval and military at

Wednesday, as word began shiv-

ties that have been winterbound
for days and weeks, some idea
of the seasons severity was
realized
Kewaunee, Wis, was one of the
places where the oldest residents
were ready to admit that never
before, in their memory, had there
been such a winter.
No Kewauneean was better able
to attest the severity of the
weather than DR.. w. NJ. Wochos.
One of his experiences became
known Wednesday. At dawn, with
the temperature far below zero,
DR.. Wochos received a telephone
call from the Eugene Beaurian
home, nine miles away
Abandons Car
The physician set forth in his
ski-equipped motor car, only to
abandon it after three miles of
tedious travel bucking the heavy
drifts. He started ahead on foot,
slowly through the
snow.
Finally he came to a farmhouse
and phoned Beaurian instructions
on how to welcome the stork
should the bird arrive before he
did. A snowplow was put to work
to cut a path through the drifts;
but even the plow was able to
advance only three miles, after
five hours.
Dr. Wochos, bundled in woolens
md carrying his instrument case
p many-mittened hands, pressed
8head on foot, fighting bitter cold
md snow that was waist-high in
places. After several hours he
stumbled exhausted and nearly
'rozen into the Beaurian home.

The spell of oldfashioned winter

FASTEST KEATON
COMEDY COMING
"THE CAMERAMAN" CHOCK-
FULL OF RAPID-FIRE IN
CIDENTS AND FUNNY
Moving pictures must move"

Moving pictures must move"
This seems to be the theory on
which Buster Keaton made "The
Cameraman," his new Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer laugh-producer, coming
to the Liberty Theatre Thursday
and Friday. For it does-with a
rapid-fire rate that crowds one
hilarious scene upon the other and
one comical predicament on the
next hilarious misadventure with
a celebrity that keeps the audience
fairly gasping for enough breath
for laughs to keep up with it.
Which, after all, is the ideal OBJ
ject of a screen comedy.
The story opens with bang
that is, Buster gets banged of
course. He's peacefully making
tintypes when half of New York
walks over him, and then he gets
all mixed up with the tripods of
the newsreel cameras welcoming
a Lindbergh or similar distin-
guished and popular hero. This
gives him the idea he wants to
be a newsreel cameraman, so he
buys an ancient and decrepit in
strument and starts out to ensnare
news.
He drops off four story build
ing into the bullets of tong war
fought with machine guns in
Chinatown; he falls off launch
and fouls it's propeller during a
boat race; he saves the heroine
and gets the greatest newsreel
picture of the day by accident
and altogether is as busy as the /
proverbial one armed paperhanger (

TECHNICALLY SAVES
MASH USING FARMERS

Hearing of Oscar Gribble and
Frank Bartch of Frazer, arrested
in connection with the Creighton
still capture, was held before U.
S. Commissioner o. T. Stennes on
Thursday afternoon. The hearing
lasted for about three hours and
several witnesses were called E.
S. Koser, court stenographer, took
down a shorthand report of the
proceedings. e. L. Walton, attor-
ney for Gribble and Bartch, moved
that the case be dismissed on ac-
count of a technical error in the
preparation of the complaint.
Authorities were consulted and
upon looking up the law in the
matter, Supt. Eggers agreed that
there was nothing to do but dis
miss the case under the circum-
stances.

Not one of the fourteen annual
business meetings of the CONNER
cial club of Wolf Point has lacked
spirit or pep or fair manifesta-
tion of team work, but not one of
them displayed these indispensable
qualities more attractively or
more emphatically than at the
meeting held Tuesday night. The
first good sign was the big, repre-
sentative attendance in the face
of severe cold weather The Sher-
man lobby, and later the palm
room were comfortably filled.
The well played numbers in the
hotel lobby by Conductor Chas.
Simons big school band stirred
up the celebrated Wolf Point
spirit The playlet "Over The
Rainbow Bridge" cleverly and
prettily rendered by children of
Mrs WigtiPs room, started a wave
of home pride. Both features de-
lightfully entertained the crowd
preliminary to the opening of the
business meeting.
Official Reports
President Young called the meet
ing to order and mentioned its
purposes in remarks that sketched
the important activities of the
prosperous year recently ended
He then called for the reports Of
the secretary and the treasurer.
In his principal address Mr..
Young surveyed the big events in
the club work of the year in a
manner made interesting by his
intimate acquaintance with them.

Montana Automobile association,
of which he is director, is given

he had learned the details Of final

Roads at Washington, when the

is advertising Wolf Point" Now,
there is nothing quite so interest
ing to me along the line of modern
merchandising as advertising, and
l trust l may be able to say some
thing along this line that will be

ing through the columns of the

across its pages. Just about that
time a we'll known newspaper
man walked into the store and l
called his attention to the spider.
"Do you happen to know, Mr..
Johnson" said he, what that
spider is looking so intently for?
That spider is trying to ascertain
if there is a Wolf Point merchant
that is not doing any advertising.
If so, he would like to spin a web
over that mans door"

SECRETARY CORD0N'S
ANNUAL c. c. REPORT

The year 1928 has marshalled
itself into the ranks of the bygone
years. Looking backwards one
finds satisfaction in reviewing
many things that contribute to the
record of a successful year. The
year past has been fruitful of in
telligent expansion and we are
ully justified in expecting con-
tinued progress in 1929.
This club appeals to civic pride
and civic responsibility good citi-
zenship. It also has an appeal to
the man who raises the personal
issue-for we can prove that the
club is serving him individually.
1t is helping his business whatever
it is.
Wolf Point for many years has
been noted for its aggressive civic
spirit. The urge to make it a
greater city is more definite and
more insistent this year than ever
before. The development of the
past year has opened up new
vista of expansion and it may be
said quite truthfully that every
body here is r'aring to go. We
know that what has already been
achieved can be repeated in sue
ceeding years. 1t is no light as
sertion but an actual fact that the
men of this city
stand shoulder to shoulder when
they wish to accomplish COM

HUXSOL SUITES
ALL OCCUPIED
FINELY APPOINTED OFFICE
ROOMS FILLED BY DOC
TORS AND LAWYERS

The new Huxsol office building
is now occupied by it's tenant!
who moved from their old quart
ers during the last week. These
are Dr. DeWane, his assistant
Mrs. George Barwise, DR.. Burgess
DR.. Larson, Dr. Klatte, Marror
and Foor, attorneys.
1t is the opinion of the tenants
and others who have inspected the
building, that there are few, il
any, more modernly equipped OF
more richly finished office suites
in the state than are found in this
new building. They are certainly
a credit to the enterprise and fore
sight of A. w. Huxsol, the owner,
as we'll as to the ability and skill
of the contractor, Charles E.
Howe.
Some Features
A stairway of Tennessee pink
marble leads from Third street to
the office floor. The woodwork is
Philippine mahogany and the
floor is of red oak. The lighting,
plumbing and heat fixtures are all
appropriate and ornamental. The
real croWninG feature of the floor
as a set of offices is the clever
convenience of the arrangement.
First at the right at the head of
the stairs, Hugh N Marion and
his partner, County Attorney A.
M. Foor, have separate offices
with a waiting room connected
with both. Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Bar
wise have two room living apart
ment facing the west. DR.. j. G.
DeWane is in the southwest corn
er with a Waiting room, consulting
room, operating room, X-ray and
dark room.
Across the east front there are
the operating rooms Of DR.. J. R.
Burgess, dentist, and his assistant,
DR.. Whiprud, with a laboratory
between the two and the consult
ing room of Dr. G. B. Larson.
Back of these are DR.. Larson's
operating room and X-ray and
dark rooms, also a waiting room
used in common by DR.. Larson
and Dr. Burgess.
In the northeast portion OF the |
are four spacious rooms
occupied by DR.. Klatte, chiroprac-
tor. The plan was very carefully
thought out and every possible
was taken into con-
sideration. A mailing tube in the
main corridor provides tenants,
or visitors to the building, with
an opportunity to drop letters into
a box in the Huxsol Drug store
from which the mail will be taken
at stated times to the postoffice.
It is quite impossible to describe
adequately the charm of the build
ing and visit is necessary for
complete appreciation.
