appreciate OUT good luck until the
opportunity comes to compare it
with other parts.
The chance to see new places,
new people, great institutions, and
observe, ponder, compare and
dream over what the present Of
fers and the future holds, was
quite fully improved by We editor.
Passing through several states to
the south and east, just at the
breaking of Spring, afforded a fine
opportunity to compare weather
and note the difference in seasons.
While there is, undoubtedly, con-
siderable difference in the aver
age date the opening of Spring
and the beginning of planting, be-
tween Iowa or Nebraska, 700 miles
south, and Montana, there appears
to be little difference this season.

sort tone manure spreader ex-
cepted) was seen at work in any
of the states %traversed on the way
home. There are still big snow
banks in the cuts and on northern
slopes in southern Minnesota and
in North Dakota. The frost is not
out of the ground and lakes of
water cover large portions of fields
in the Red River valley.
The ice went out of the Missouri
at Sioux City on March IA and
it is so nearly gone at this date
(March 21) here that the river is
impossible. The winter was ex-
tremely cold down there and the
ground froze deep. The snow
water is held on the surface. All
roads except the surfaced high
ways are almost impossible for
heavy rigs and will be worse be-
fore they are better.

to Wolf Point, because Paulson
was sick of the job of trying to
make it go. When asked if he
got a bill of sale from Paulson at
that time he said no. When ask
ed whether he had paid the note
he said he had not and that no
body had ever asked him to pay it,
that it was in the possession of the
Security State Bank the last he
knew and that he supposed they
had sold the plant and got their
money out that way. He admitted
that he paid the 500 as initial
payment on the plant and said
that he did not know whether
Paul Paulson ever paid a cent to-
ward the purchase of the Roose-
welt County Independent.
Evidence was introduced in the
form of an afivadit of publication
signed by Paul Paulson and a
statement Of ownership signed by
Paulson, which attempted to prove
that he was the owner.
Salisbury testified to sending
Paulson money several times to
help him out. Paulson said that
Salisbury had sent him $40 but

EASTER

For the last ten days or more
the show windows of the local
merchants have been advance an
nouncements of the coming of
Easter and Spring. Easter novel
ties, new spring wearing apparel
of various sorts, all call to mind
the joyousness of the season. AS
the butterfly energies from its
chrysalis, so Spring steps forth
from the winding sheet of Winter.
January may be the time for
making new resolutions but Easter
is the time for the re-birth of hope
and expectation, faith if you will.
Let us sing with B~rowning's
Pippa:
1.-THE years in the Spring,
And days at the morn;
Gods in his heaven
Ais right with the world"

WE WIN THOUGH WE LOSE

A mother of one of the contest
ants said before the ~oratorical
contest, MY boy has been well
repaid for the time he has spent
on the subject, regardless OF
whether he wins or loses" This
mother felt that what her son had
gained by intensive study of the
Constitution, was something that
he might not have acquired had
there been no contest to serve as
an incentive for the study. The
competition is necessary to give
zest to the undertaking but every
contestant shapes his own prize
irrespective of the rating of
judges.
To receive the prize and the
applause is gratifying, but those
who have put the best of them
selves into a competition Of some
sort, be it cultural or physical, and
have perhaps just fallen short of
winning, have n~onetheless won
something, they have raised them
selves above the level upon which
they were before they entered the
contest. Only one person a win
the county art appreciation con-
test, but there will be hundreds Of
students over the county who will
have become familiar with thirty
classic paintings. They will know
something about the artists who
painted them and perhaps the
story of the pictures. The same
thing holds true of the music
memory contests which are being
sponsored by the schools. Only
one will receive the palm of vic
tory but many others will have
gained as much benefit from the
study as the one acclaimed the
winner.

Taylor he had gone to Poplar
to look the plant over and had
decided that the town wasn't big
enough to support two newspa-
pers, so he had written to Peter
Paulson and told him he wouldn't
make a deal, as he didn't feel that
the layout and location was worth
more than half the $4,000 asked
for it. A little while after that
Peter Paulson made another trip
to Plentywood and asked Paul
Paulson if he would manage the
paper if Taylor would buy it. He
said he would.
The Dotted Line
The next day the papers were
fixed up. and when Paul Paulson
was called from the Producers
News Office where he was stick
ing type, to the office of S. E. Paul
to sign the papers, he said he was
surprised to find that the papers
made out transferring the
property to him. He protested
saying: "Why | haven't bought
any paper, | haven't made any
payment" Then according to
Paulson's testimony, Taylor said:
Il paid that S10O." Then Taylor
explained that for certain reasons
he wanted his own name kept out
of the deal and that the matter
had to be handled that way, that
it would only be for a short time,
and that he would form a stock
company, incorporate and take
the paper over in the name of the
company. Paulson said that he
told Taylor that if he would pay
him (Paulson) wages, that he
would be willing to undertake the
job of running the paper He eX-
pected to get what he had been
getting while working on the Pro
ducers News, which was $50 a
week, or about S125 a month. This
would have amounted to $4,000 for
two years. But the Roosevelt
County Independent did not pros
per financially, the stock company
was not formed, and Paulson was
unable to exc enough out of the
business for a meagre living for
and wife. SO he wrote a
number of letters to Mr.. Taylor
presenting the situation to him,
and once in a while Taylor would
send him some money, and a few
others of the Non-partisans chip
ped in from time to time. The
lay book of the paper was intro
luced as evidence to show that
the two years he had re
ceived S717.O3 in cash, and that
making claim against Taylor
he had allowed SIS a month for
he rent of the one room in the
Print shop which was occupied by
himself and Mrs. Paulson.
A Loyal Employee
Mr.. Paulson hung on as long as
lie could but the stock selling cam
never materialized. He said
hat he had felt that Taylor him
elf was hard up and he was will
ng to stay by him as long as
possible.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1929-03-22

Testimony introduced to show
that at the time the paper was
moved to Wolf Point from Poplar
an attachment had been put or
the plant by Geo. Cook for $3.50
six months rent, and Taylor came
down from Plentywood and paid
S145 and borrowed S5 from Pau.
Paulson to pay the balance. Jack
Dwyer, l. o. Slette and EricB
Noun we're witnesses called in
regard to this point.
Expensive Venture
Paulson came to Wolf Point
with the Independent in October,
1924 but the management was
placed in the hands of Truxton
Talbot, whose salary was $50 a
week, while Mr.. Paulson was paid
$50 a week. An editorial in the
Producers News was introduced
to show that during the IA weeks
the Roosevelt County Independent
was in existance in Wolf Point it
lost $500, whereas the balance
asked by Mr.. Paulson for wages
over a period of two years was
only a little more than $1,000.
The Defence
In attempting to prove that no
contract, verbal or otherwise,
existed between himself and Paul
Paulson prior to the time the
Roosevelt County Independent
came to Wolf Point, Mr.. Taylor
testified that Paul PaulsOn and he
had talked over the matter of
getting a paper in Roosevelt
county, and Mr.. Paulson had said
that if the Non-partisan league
did get a paper that he wanted
the job of being editor. He said
that Paulson had wanted to buy
a paper but that he had not done
so, and that he had objected at
first to signing the note with Mr..
PaulsOn, but that later he had de-
cided to sign the note and did so.
When asked whether he had sign
ed the note on the back as en-
dorser or on the face under that
of Mr.. Paulson, he couldn't remem-
Der. His memory was very hazy
on several points, but he never
at any time had any doubt in re-
gard to the matter of having no
understanding with Mr.. Paulson
on the matter of wages. The only
time Mr.. Paulson was in his EN-
ploy, he said, was during the
month Mr.. Paulson worked at
Wolf Point. He said that prior to
that time Mr.. Paulson had never
asked for wages.
Taylor's Business Methods
He said he endorsed Paulson's
note to help Paulson out and be-
cause he wanted to see a paper
started at Poplar, and that when
when he sent money to Paulson
time to time, it was with the
understanding that he would re-
ceive stock when the company
Incorporated. He had intended to
sell stock, but he never got around
to do so. He implied that Paul
son had made him a gift of the
plant at the time it was moved

The war between the candy trade
and cigarette manufacturers who
are trying to get girls and womel
to smoke what old-fashioned folks
used to call "cofHn nails" has
reached a point where one of the
largest candy factories in New
York has issued a warning that
any employee caught smoking a
cigarette will be dismissed on the
spot. And it is reaching a point
where the sugar trust is buying
