No AL|B|S HEARD
FROM CUBS
BY HAROLD JOHNSON

HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. Is
FareWells We're spoken today as the
Cubs, beaten four times in five starts
against the Athletics returned from
the world series, some of them not
to meet again until next February
when they assemble for spring train
ing.
There was sadness throughout the
ranks as they contemplated their
homecoming from the wars, all of
them cognizant Of the fact that no
brass band would be in the reception
line. In the main, Mccarthy and
his wards seemed eager to get back
to Chicago.
Strangely, we heard no alibis.
The Cubs realized they had been
beaten on the level, and they all
seemed inclined to call it a year
and forget it.
William Wrigley, jr.. chief stock
holder of the Cubs, seemed to be
hard hit by the outcome of the
classic.
I'VE did the best we could" said
the gum king, land we 'idn't make
the grade. Next season will see the
Cubs strengthened. We will stick
and fight and give Chicago another
pennant."
Il still insist the Cubs are a great
ball club" contended Joe Mccarthy.
IF we had gotten the breaks the
series today would stand three wins
to two in our favor"

CUB FANS PROVE
GOOD LOSERS

CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-The defeat of
the Cubs and the browning of the
Athletics as worlds baseball cham.
pions yesterday We're received by
Chicago fans sorrowfully, but phil.
osophically. For. after the seventh
inning debac3e in Saturdays game,

ninth, which gave the series to the
Philadelphians, was accepted with
fortitude.
No sooner had Simmons crossed
home plate with the decisive score
than hundreds Of Chicago sportsmen
hurried to telegraph offices to wire
congratulations to the conquerors.

four world series pennants.
There were, of course, many
post-mortems staged i'm the vi

boards throughout Chicago fol-
lowing the setback.
Wait until next year. seems to
be the prevalent spirit here. 1t is
generally believed that Owner Wrig-
ley and Manager Mccarthy are de-
termined to spare no effort or ex-
pense to build a still greater team,
their principal objective being the
acquisition of a star pitcher or two
and third baseman who excels both
at bat and afield.
Plans now are being formulated
for Homecoming greeting for the
returning Cubs. Chicago enthusiasts
are determined to make the welcome
SO sincere as to make tho players
forget the sting of defeat.

Three Trustees And Extra
Tax Levy Measure To Be
Voted On
To Be Held AT School Build
ing Saturday AT
ternOOn

Close on the heels of the city cleo
tion comes the annual selection of
school trustees and the sanctioning
of the customary additional levy,
the event taking place next Saturday
afternoon
While the coming event has caused
no excitement or comment, patrons
of the school are anxious that as
large vote as possible be recorded.
The voters will be called upon to
consider the selection of three trus-
tees, two for three-year period and
one for one year term. The three
year candidates, who will appear on
the ballot are John G. Debing and
Mrs. A. 0. Opgrande. J. Franc Muir
ray is listed as a candidate for the
one year term. The names of no 9TH
er candidates have been presented
for consideration at this time.
The additional tax levy proposition
is explained as follows on the ballot:
"Shall the Board of Trustees of
School District Number 20, Sheridan
County, Montana, be authorized to
make levy of twenty (20) mills tax
es in addition to the regular ten mill
levy authorized by law for the pur-
pose of maintaining the schools of
said district, or building. altering, re-
pairing or enlarging any school
louise Of said district, or for building
ard equiping heating plants, or for
any other purpose necessary for the
proper operation and maintenance of
the schools Of said district"
This, it should be understood, does
net mean that there would be an in
crease in the present levy for local
school purposes. The present sourc-
cs of revenue for maintenance of the
school are insufficient to meet the
needs of the institution and the dis
e. t has for years, been forced to re-
s9rt to his means of raising addi-
tional funds. Rejection of this pro-
position would seriously handicap the
proper functioning Of the school.
The vote on the candidates is open
to all voters of the district, but the
vote on the additional tax levy is
more restrictive. The franchise in
this matter is restricted to the free
holders Of the district.
The voting takes place at the
school house Saturday afternoon. The
polls will be open from one o'clock
t 4:30.

Charles Huebner has twice been
put to the inconvenience the past
week of raising bond to insure his
custody pending trial for alleged liz
uor law violations.
Tuesday he was brought before
Judge E. E. Belanski to answer a
charge of selling liquor to minors and
this afternoon he again faced the
Judge to answer charge of having
liquor in his possession for sale.
Huebners first difficulty came as
an aftermath of 4 case affecting Ar
chic Reddin, under twenty-one years
OF age who was arrested on drunk
and disorderly charge at at dance at
the Farmer-Labor Temple last Mon
day night. The youth, when pressed
to name the party furnishing him the
liquor, named Huebner and his arrest
followed. On this count he waived
preliminary hearing and was bound
over to the coming term of district
court. Reddin, by the way, was given
nominal fine and placed under
strict probation.
Huebner's arrest today followed a
rad on his premise conducted by
Federal Prohibition Officers Ted
Winters and j. H. Melvin. They con-

ANNUAL SCHOOL ELECTION
SATURDAY AFTERNOON
Great ThrOng At
tends OratOriO
Large Hall Not Large Enough
To Hold Easter
Crowd

The sacred cantata, "The Seven
Last Words of Christ" presented by
local talent at the Orpheum Theatre
last Sunday morning, proved an un-
usually good drawing card, for the
laren auditorium was filled to its ca
pacity and it is estimated that fully
two hunured people were unable to
gam admittance.
The event proved ideal for the pur-
pose of putting a reverent touch to
the spirit of the day. The stage was
beautifully decorated with Easter
lilies set off with a background of
lattice work. The women of the
chorus wore surplices which also add
ed very effective touch.
The choir which had been practic-
ing faithfully for more than a month
was in fine form to do full justice to
the great theme and the difficult har-
mony of the production.
Special credit for the success of the
venture is due Mrs. A. 0. Opgrande,
who directed the chorus and Mrs. A..
A. }. Garneau, who presided as piano
accompanist.
The Cantata, beginning at nine o.
clock, gave all who attended ample
lime to attend the regular services
in the various places of worship,
where the Easter was appropriately
observed with special music and 9TH
er special features. All of the church
es report a splendid attendance.
