SAFARIK HELD AS
ARNOT WITNESS
FORMER WOLF POINT RAIL
ROAD MAN UNDER BONDS
AT GLASGOW

Glasgow, Sept. 24.-Once impli
Gated and then exonerated by
Mrs. Anna Berrigan Arnot in the
disposal of the dead body of her
husband, Jesse E. Arnot, Mike
Safarik, laborer, Tuesday was ar
rested by Sheriff Ben Olson as
a material witness and placed un-
der $1,000 bond to appear at the
trial of Mrs. Arnot early in No
vember.
Mrs. Arnot's first story to Of
ficials after traces Of poison had
been found in the vital organs of
her mate, who, according to a
coroner's jury, came to his death
by burns and ~suffocation, was
that ATnot had taken a deadly
poison from a medicine cabinet
in mistake for a remedy for a
stomach ailment which he suffer
ed. The widow told officers that
on discovery of her husbands
body her first thought was that
neighbors might talk about the
death if it was discovered poison
was the cause and she determined
to conceal the fact by taking the
body to the basement, placing it
on a pile of oil-soaked refuse and
then setting it afire. When ques-
toned by authorities as to how
she was able to carry the body
to the basement of the home, Mrs.
Arnot declared she had promised
Safarik $100 to dispose of the
corpse as she directed and that
,Safarik had complied.
Safarik Immediately was taken
into custody, but on being ques-
toned was able to convince Of
ficers that he had not been i'm
plicated in any way with the dis
posal of the body. Mrs. Arnot then
made a second statement exoner-
ating the laborer and declaring
she, unaided, had taken the body
to the basement.

WHEAT VS. CORN FOR PRODUCING
BEEF AND PORK; EXPERIMENTS

Based on present prices, wheat
is worth approximately 33 per
cent more than corn for the fat
tening of baby beeves, the Farm
ers Union Terminal association
finds in an analysis of figures is
sued by the Farmers National
Grain corporation on the value of
feeding wheat.
"In the fattening of baby
beeves," the Farmers National
Grain corporations latest bulletin
says, sit was found at the Okla
homa experiment station that
calves fed ground wheat, cotton
seed meal, sorghum silage and al
falfa hay required 459 pounds of
ground wheat to make 100 pounds
gain, as against SIG pounds of
ground corn. 1t required Z per
cent less cottonseed meal with
ground wheat than with ground
corn"
with wheat at "a cents a bush
ell and corn at 92 cents, the 400
pounds of wheat would cost
S6.421h and the SIG pounds Of
would cost 1888, the differ
ence in weights per bushel being
taken into consideration the
Union Terminal associa-
ton says.
THUS the farmer who feeds
wheat not only is helping to re-
duce the surplus which has de-
pressed prices, but actually is
getting a much better price for
his wheat as feed than he would
in selling wheat at present mar
ket prices. The latest bulletin Of
the Farmers National Grain cor
poration advises farmers to feed
wheat and help put wheat prices

but did not stay. Some farmers
report the fields wet down six

A. M. Foor, county attorney,

e in charge:
"This office is in receipt of your

MONTANA STATE
In ROTOCRAVURE

Thos. l.. Greenfield, proprietor
of the Greenfield Advertising SER
vice, Butte, visited Wolf Point
this week and laid before the di-
rectors of the Commercial club
the details of an enterprise he
is putting through in the interests
of the state. This is a book OF
illustrations to be known as
Montana in Rotogravure." Seen
es, buildings and industries from
virtually every part of the state
are to be shown in rotogravure
pictures made from fine photo
graphs. There will be a minimum
of reading matter, not much more
than captions for the pictures and
explanatory matter. Rotogravure
is the kind of printing used in
the brown illustrations in the
Sunday papers. The book will be
by ten and a half inches in
size, of whatever number of pages
are required, with a minimum of
$4,000 copies.
Mr.. Greenfield is experienced in
Advertising and sees the possibiii- !
les for appealing publicity for the
state through %picturing the end
ess wonders to be found within
borders. People are too busy
II too impatient to read long des-
:riptions but the picture tells
most of it quickly and makes a
nore definite impression on the
memory. That is the psychology
f a piece of advertising like Mon
ana in Rotogravure. Nearly the
state has been covered by +,
If. Greenfield and he says he has :
ound cooperation in the idea al !,
lost universal. The books would +
e supplied to clubs and other l.,
odies who %patronize the enter !
rise, and to the state for distri- :
ution. Each part would then aid q
advertising every other part If

NORTH COUNTRY COMMUNITY
FAIR BIGGEST SUCCESS
YET ACHIEVED

The Volt Fair last Saturday was
considerably better than any pre-
vious community fair held in this
end of the county, and the ex-
hibits we're such that the exhib-
itors could d~eservedly take pride
in showing. The vegetables and
grains we're an illustration of
what can be grown here even in
an unfavorable year. The exhibits
were well displayed, and a large
number of people attended the
fair to see them. The sewing done
by Mrs. ~Jacobson's All club of
girls was not on exhibit, as that
work had to be sent to C|ulbertson
earlier. Last year these girls took
a number of prizes at the GILBERT
son fair, and their work this year
is even more advanced.
The Fair committee is appre-
ciative of the cooperation receiv-
ed in putting over the Volt COM
munity fair and say: 1--WE all wish
to thank the business men of Wolf
Point for their hearty cooperation
with us in making the Volt fair
a success. Also Mr.. Livingston,
Mr.. Simon and the band for max
ing it possible to have an enter
tainment program. We also wish
to thank Abe Toavs, Jr., for the
use of his trailer to take the Volt
fair exhibits to Culbertson."

wALL-TALKING PICTURE
HELPS SPREAD WORD
"Kibitzer''.


1t is the word that took news
paper columinsts by storm in New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Den
yer, ST. Louis and points West. II
is the word that became so pop
ular that it got itself made into a
very successful Broadway comedy.
1t is the word that became so
widely used in the American lang
uage of our time that it got itself
into a dictionary.
Still there are millions of peo-
pie in the United States who do
not know what a "kibitzer" is.
But they are all discovering the
meaning for themselves since the
production of "The Kibitzer" which
m to the Liberty for two days
beginning on Sunday next.
Harry Green, gifted genius of
Hebrew dialect character-portray-
ais on the screen, is the ~"kibitzer''
in the picture. After one has seen
his hilariously funny-acting of the
part, one has a very definite idea
of the meaning of the word.
