ALL-STAR TEAM
PICKED BY Doe
(By Coach Boe)


It is customary for individuals
TO select all-star teams at the ter
mination of such events as that
! just completed at Glasgow. Sci
dom will any two selections by
any two individuals be the same
in all respects. For that reason
most all-star teams are subject to
much criticism. The writer has
decided to risk that criticism and
submit the following as his select
ion for the all-tournament team
of the sub-district tournament at
Glasgow.
Forward. -. Herman, Wolf Point
Forward -Bechtel, Wolf Point J..
Center. er....-.-.-............... .Myhr, Malta
Guard ........,..... Misfeldt, Malta
Guard ..-........... Clark, Wolf Point
Two of the above could hardly
be left off from any ones select
ion. They are Myhr of Malta and
Herman of Wolf Point, who were
the outstanding performers of the
tournament.
Myhr has been shifted from his
regular position at forward to that
of center of the allstar five. which
positions he fills, at times, equal
ly well.
Myhr, Herman and Bechtel
would make a scoring combination
that would be almost impossible
to stop, as all three are excellent
shots, are cool, heady players, and
handle the ball well on passes and
the dribble.
Misfeldt, the back guard on the
Malta team, was frequently up
against the proposition of having
two men to cover at the same
time and took care of the position
well.
Clark was one of the fastest
seen on the floor, covered
his position on the defense well
and on occasion can score quite |
handy from the center or side
If the floor.
Other good men who must re-
,eive consideration and who might
be selected by some for one or
more of the various positions, and
whom the writer will place on his
lonor roll are:
Forwards: Parke, Glasgow; Rog-
las. Saco; Bauer, Poplar.
Centers: Wright, Wolf Point;
robertson, Malta; Menge, Saco.
Guards: GIFTS, Wolf Point; Gar
and. Malta; Baker, Glasgow.

YOUPEE, FINANCIER,
GETS $4,000 SINCE AUG.

San Francisco, Feb 16.-Lewis
Youpee, Chippewa Indian from Fort
Peck, Mont, was arrested on a
vagrancy charge here today for
soliciting subscriptions for founda-
tion of an orchestra at Fort Peck.
Police say they had been watch
ing the Indian for weeks and that
on receiving a subscription, he
Immediately added it to what
money he had and reported to his
next prospect that the whole sum
had been given him by the last
donor.
They said some of the subscrip-
tions ran as high as $40, and that
Youpe carried an account book
showing he had obtained $4,000
since arrival here last August.
Officials said he would be asked
to leave San Francisco instead of
serving a term for vagrancy, if
convicted.
1t will be recalled that two or
three years ago Youpee started out
to collect money in this state to
finance an Indian orchestra. Pro
badly he has found this more pro-
fitable than giving concerts would

u. S. SENATE PUTS
TEETH IN DRY LAW
PENALTY lNCREASED-HABlT-
UAL BOOTLEGGER TO GET
MAXIMUM

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.LAftei
four days of unusually frank de
bate over prohibition, the senate
passed the Jones bill increasing
maximum penalties under the Vol
stead act to five years imprison
ment and a fine OF $4,000. The
bill now goes to the house where
leaders say it will be passed
speedily. 1t was amended to pro-
vide that federal courts imposing
sentences distinguish between the
casual violators and the profes-
sional bootlegger.
Charges involving wet drinking
and dry voting congressman, ar
guments for and against the Can
adian system of government dis
tribution, allegations by the vets
that dry enforcement was "enthus-
iasm gone mad" and warnings
from the drys that the 18th a.
mendment was in the constitution
to stay, characterized the general
discussion before the final vote,
which was 65 to IS
Senator Jones of Washington,
nominal author of the bill, which
is supposed to embody views OF
Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt OF
the Justice department, said it was
designed to reach rich bootleggers
who now are escaping with light
fines and brief terms.
Before the bin was adopted by
a. vote of Go to 18, the senate de-
feated two amendments designed
to make the measure less drastic.
One by Senator Blaine, represen-
tative of Wisconsin, would have
provided that the maximum pen
atty could not be imposed unless
evidence against a violator of the
law showed the liquor in his pos
session was intended for sale and
the other by Senator Bingham, OF
Connecticut, would have prevent
ed imposition of the maximum
sentence on a first offender.
The IS who voted against the
bill include 13 democrats and
as follows:
Democrats = Bayard, Delaware;
Louisiana; Bruce,
Maryland; Copeland, New YORK;
New Jersey; Gerry,
Rhode Island; Hawes, Missouri;
Ransdell, Louisiana; Reed, Miss
Durf; Tydings, Maryland; Wagner,
New York; Walsh, Massachusetts,,
and Wheeler, Montana.
Republicans-Bingham, Connect

A. M. Foor, county attorney, and
o. T. Stennes, mayor of Wolf
Point, have invited the officials OF
the various towns of the county
to meet here on Monday, Mar. 4,
for the purpose of getting to-
gether on program of law en-
forcement. Heretofore each town
has enforced law as it saw fit,
and there had been no definite
plan of cooperation with either
the county attorneys office or the
sheriff's office. Mr.. Foor believes
that if the mayors, justices of the
peace, constables, ETC. could get
together and talk over their prob
lens that an understanding could
be arrived at whereby the various
towns could work together and
with the county attorneys office.
1t is expected that the county COM
missioners will be in attendance
at the meeting and the sheriffs of
the neighboring counties.
The afternoon meeting will be
held in the court room of the
court house and after a program
there will be separate round table
meetings of the mayors and the
peace officers, after which there
will be general discussion.

the breaks of the game will de-

Wolf Point and Malta have both
played hard pretournament sched-

Wolf Point and Chinook and Wolf
Point having lost early in the sea
son to Williston and Scobey. and
later to Malta when it was neces-
sary to play an extra period in or

Culbertson won all of her pre-
tournament games and has lost
only to Froid in the finals of the

CANADA FORD STOCK
SCARS TO new MARK

New York, March Is. -@ - Ford
Motor Company Of Canada common
stock today scared up $349 share to
a new high record at $l.150 on the
New York curb market, following an
nouncement last night by directors Of
q proposed 20 for one stock split up.
The opening sales was at $l,025. with
q block Of 400 shares changing hands.
The stock usually sells In lots Of five
and 10 shares.
This is the second spectacular
movement in the stock this year. On
Jan. Is it rose $l60 a share to $500 on
rumors Of 100 for one stock split up
and reports that Henry Ford was buy
ing up the stock and that the COM
pany earned nearly 5000, 900 in 1928
A denial of these stories from w
r. Campbell. vice president of the
company sent the stock off $3.50 from
its top price on that day to $7l0. II
rallied to close at $735, for q net gain
Of IS on the day.
At that time MIR. Campbell said
III anything were needed to show
that the present speculation Is un.
warranted let investors consider that
the companys surplus has been i'm
paired about $50 . share by losses
incurred in 1928. In fact the company
lost as much as it ever made in its
biggest profit making year. There is
no prospect OF dividend in 1929. al
though we expect to improve our po-
sition."

low of $6l5 this week and $50 q
