AL FALLS EASY PREY:
SCORE Sc TO 4

The Wolves defeated their old
rivals from Glasgow in a one-sided
game by score of 36-4, last Fri
day night on the local floor.
Glasgow has nice passing team
but lacked the ability to score
when they gained an opportunity,
several shots hitting the rim or
falling short. Glasgow used a
short pass game with four men
criss-crossing down the floor
Parke and Etchepare played the
best games for Glasgow.
The Wolf Point team started
slow, doing little passing and
mainly trying long shots during
the first half, but out scoring
Glasgow 1871. Their defense was
good and Glasgow got few oppor-
tunities to score from close in.
In the second half the Wolves
passing game began to carry them
through for close in shots. Their
plays carried them through Glas-
COWS defense fairly regularly.
Bechtel and Herman divided scor-
ing honors. Shipman substituted
for Herman in the last quarter.

James Carroll Has
Narrow Escape In Car

Monday afternoon when Mr..
and Mrs. James Carroll and child
rem were returning from Poplar
in the blizzard they narrowly
escaped what might have been a
serious accident Approaching the
crossing two miles east of town
they suddenly noticed that the
Galloping Goose was about to
strike the crossing at the same
time as themselves. Jim slammed
on the brakes and as his car was
going slowly at lie time, he was
able to stop it within six feet of
the crossing. There was no acci-
dent, but Jim says it is as close
as he ever wants to come to one
of that kind.

pleasant and profitable trip to the
Twin Cities and Moline, Ill. At
Minneapolis he attended the big
convention held by the John Deere
Implement company. The conven-

RUBS AGAINST
ALCOHOL; LAW
RUBBING FLUID INCITES c.
GRANT TO ASSAULT OLD
INDIAN WOMEN

Cecil Grant, Gros Ventre
breed who belongs at Elbow
Woods, North Dakota, got into
serious trouble Monday night
when a drink of rubbing alcohol
put him in such a state of wild
intoxication that he went to Old
town and broke into house
where two blind Indian women
were living and attempted to
assault them.
Grant, who is about 80, and
who boasts of some provinces as
a wrestler, has run afoul of the
law on a number of occasions,
and it is understood that at the
present time there is a 60-day
suspended jail sentence hanging
over his head, the sentence hav-
ing been suspended on condition
that he remain out of town.
Monday night Grant went to a
local drug store and asked for
rubbing alcohol, saying that he
wanted it for an old Indian who
was suffering with rheumatism
The preparation which he pur-
chased was labeled 7O9o alcohol,
and warning against internal
use was printed on the label. AT
ter drink or two of the fiery
stuff Grant is said to have boast
ed to friends of the way he had
put one over on the drug store

he went to Oldtown to the house

WHEAT TRAIN AFFORDS 1-DAY
COURSE IN MODERN METHODS
300 FARMERS HEAR LECTURE
ON PURE SEED; SUMMER
TILLAGE; ECONOMICS

The Low Cost Wheat train
which is touring the principal
wheat producing portions of Mont
ana through the cooperation of
the State college extension depart
ment and the Great Northern rail-
way, arrived in Wolf Point just
before noon Wednesday and was
spotted on side track just north
of elevator row. The train was
made up of ten fiat cars of field
implements, car of grain clean
ing machinery, car of wheat ex-
hibits and a combined diner and
sleeper for those in charge of the
train.
The extreme cold weather, the
coolest not only of this winter
but of several winters, worked
to the disadvantage of plans for
the day and prevented many farm
ers from seeing what was on the
train who would otherwise have
taken it all in. However, there
was a gratifying attendance of
both farmers and townspeople at
the meeting at the Liberty theatre
which lasted two hours and half.
The implements shown on the
train showed just about all the
modern wheat farming devices
with the exception of a complete
combine which was too bulky to
carry along. Many of the imple-
ments familiar to our up-to-date
farmers, but others were new and
the collection afforded a chance to
especially as the purposes
and chief advantages of the diff
ferent implements were set forth
on large placards on the cars.
Plows of many styles and sum-
mer tillage and cultivating imple-
ments of course held a prominent
place in the collection.
The exhibit coach which was
devoted largely to samples of the
leading varieties of wheat, fax
and coarse grains, was well design
ed to nresent emphatic object les

LEGISLATURE HEARS REPORT:

DETAILED REPORT TELLS
FINANCIAL FACTS

Helena, JAN 22.-Montana 21st
legislative assembly established
something of a precedent this af
ternoon when both house and
senate adjourned, extended the
courtesy of the floor to Dr. Melvin
Amos Brannon, chancellor of
Montanas greater university and
gathered in joint session to hear
his frank, straightforward ex-
planation of the financial problems
confronting higher educational in
stitutions of the Treasure State.
Seldom in the history of Montana
legislatures has similar situation
occurred. Realization of the i'm
portance of the subject caused
lawmakers to lay down their du-
ties to gain an insight into the
plan for establishing state fiscal
policy with regard to maintenance
of these institutions.
Galleries and the floor of the
house assembly were packed when
Chancellor Brannon began his ad-
State officials and attaches of both
both and senate were attracted
Senators sat on folding chairs
with their county delegations in
the house. Around the edge of
the spacious hall fringe of hui
manity listened intently. In pre-
facing his remarks the chancellor
anticipated the problem when he
presented the question to the SEN
ate of the 18th session. At that
time he asked that a committee
made up of the holdover senators |
and the state board of education
be named to make a survey of the |
situation and report it's findings
to this assembly The senate of
that session failed to act in the
matter, hence survey commits
sion was named, headed by DR..
G. H. Clapp, president of the state
university, and the fact finding
commission has submitted it's re-
port to the lawmakers.
Twelve States Surveyed

haustitve inquiry, was conducted in
