HANNIBAL, Mo, June 10.-Tom Sawyer's band of adventurers all have gone on to the great adven- ture.
 Those who now would learn of them must take their lore from the imprint that Mark Twain and his boyhood playmates left in this cor ner of Missouri.
 The last of those, who, with "Sam1" Clemens fought the im- aginary pirates of the Mississippi passed with the death of Gull Brady.
 Others identified with the Twain group were s. H. Honeyman, Jim McDaniel, B. o. Farthing, Ed Pierce and, of course, Laura Frazier, whom the hum or ist immortalized as Becky Thatcher"
 Young Clemens, Brady recalled, was bashful boy, with a fondness for pretty girls.
 He had to do his 'sparkin'' by proxy" he once said. Once I heard him say to his school desk mate John, if you will go and tell Laura at recess that I like her, and think she's the prettiest girl in school, I'll give you the next ap- pie I get"
 The Laura" was Laura Frazier. She preceded Gull" to the grave by a few weeks.
 And so has passed the "old Twain gang" but the years only etch deeper it's mark on Hannibal. And the dirty faced, pantalooned leader left the adventurers impress on literature's shelves for succeed ing generations to read-and chuc- kle over.
 Twain's mark is deeply etched in the communities that knew him first, if not best.
 The two room house at Florida, Mo, where Clemens was born, is a shrine. On it's walls are commen- datory letters from three presidents Wilson, who greatly admired"

PROSPECTORS LIKE
 TRAVELLING BY AIR

Prospectors in the vicinity of Hy- der are enthusiastically minded, Anscel Eckmann, pilot of the Alas ka- Washington Airways plane Ju- neau, said. On one of the trips he made out from Hyder. last Thursday, he flew 50 miles into the Interior, with several mining men as passengers. During the trip, which took about 45 minutes, they passed over 25 lakes all of which were large enough for landing a plane
 Though a number of prospectors and mining men expressed their desire to fly into the mining dis tricts back of Hyder, customs au- thorities at Hyder refused to allow MT Eckmann to land in Canadian Territory where there was no cus- toms office, so the trips were pure ly observatory.

PAUL GIVES ROBBER |
TO 2 AT WOLF POINT

Wolf Point.-At the regular law
and motion day session of court on
Wednesday presided over by Judge
Paul, Joe Turcotte, who burglarized
the Stennes-McConnon store about a
month ago, and who pleaded guilty
to the charge placed against him was
sentenced to serve from one to two
years in the state penitentiary. Tur-
cote obtained a dozen pocket knives
and a handful of pennies.
Albert Thomas, who was up on a
forgery charge, having forged the
name of Benedict Seethaler, Catholic
priest, to a SO check, also had hear
ing. The case was continued until
March Z, the next law and motion
day.
Joseph E. Root, formerly patient
of the insane asylum but now released
as cured, petitioned that he be re-
stored to his former capacity as citi
zen. Judge Paul signed this order.

threatened to give them a similar
beating if they were not careful. The
members of the show troupe seemed
to blame Peters mostly for the af-
fair and claimed he was the ring
leader.
Wednesday morning several people
gathered at the City Hall to listen to
the plea, but the attorney for the de-
PENDANTS, Howard M. Lewis, appeared
and said his clients plead mot guilty
to the charge, more or less disap-
pointing the audience who had expect
ed to hear some arguments in the
case. Justice of the Peace Belansli
did not set a date for the hearing as
it was not known just exactly when
Court Stenographer Koser would be in
Plentywood, and his services were
required. No bail was set at the time
and it is understood the boys are now
out upon their own recognizance K
appear in court when called.
Much interest is being displayed il
the case by Plentywood people be
cause of its close parallel to the cas-,
recently tried in district court whel
Jack O'Grady was assaulted by three
Raymond men.

London, Feb. 15.-The soviet gov
earnment expects to buy $300,000,000
worth of agricultural machinery and
$100,000,000 worth of road building
equipment in the United States in the

Russia will be the largest market

Williston, Feb. 15.-After several
weeks of investigation of the talking

feels assured that the outfit will be
in place and the theatre in shape to
start the public showing and hearing
of these pictures not later than May

SMALL MERCHANT IS TOLD HOW TO
BUCK MAIL ORDER COMPETITION

Butte, Feb. 16.-''With proper at
tention to undermining his service,
system and advertising, the mdepen-
dent merchant in any town can meet
any competition offered"
Fred Mozart of Houston, Tex, a
business efficiency expert, said this
today. Mr.. Mozart spoke at a get
together meeting of 200 Butte retail
and wholesale food dealers at the
chamber of commerce last night.
Butte citizens" Mr.. Mozart con-
tinued, probably spend $1,OOO,OOO a
year in buying mail order goods.
''This is a great grievance to local
merchants and rightly.
"But the trouble with the independ-
ent merchant who declares he is suf-
fering from foreign competition,
Mr.. Mozart said, "is that instead OF
taking a lesson from his competitor
and improving his methods, he merely
rails at him.
Most Independent business men of
that calibre don't know their own bus
mess sufficiently. They must learn
the most modern methods of edver-
Using, business system and service,
and use them, if they would survive.
"To that end the merchants should
cooperate and trade ideas so that to-
gether they can fight mail order COM
petition"
The meeting last night was the first
of a series planned for Butte food
merchants to get them to cooperate
in common problems. Others have
been held for radio supply and auto
mobile dealers.
