SONG OF LOVE-
A HUMAN STORY

1.-THE Song of Love-, Columbia's
alltaaking, singing and dancing
feature starring Belle Baker, that
comes to the Liberty theatre on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, offers complete and satisfy
ing entertainment to any and every
type of theatre goer. In addition
to the star performance of Belle
Baker, historically and vocally
and the excellent musical score,
there is a human interest story
with plenty of heart interest.
1.-THE Three Gibsons," Tom,
Anna and their little boy. Bud
dy, make up a small vaudeville
team. Anna decides to give up
her career for the sake of her
sons future. Tom, lovable but
weak, succumbs to the wiles of
another woman when his wife
leaves him to make a home for
their boy, Buddy. Anna goes into
the show business again. This
time she is alone. She proves a
tremendous sensation. When Bud
dy, who has been placed in a mil
itary school, hears of his parents
separation, he decides to bring
them together again-and he does.
Tom repents, reforms and proves
himself a real man. Ralph Graves
and David Durand score in the
roles of father and son. Erie C.
Kenton, director, deserves special
credit for his work on this pro-
duction.
Do not miss this picture-it's
one of the best.

OTTO KING JOINS
HOLE-IN-ONE CLUB
Daniels County Leader

July 4 was a big day for Otto
King, although he didn't journey
afar to celebrate in glorious fash
ion or make any orations to the
multitudes.
In fact Otto was rendered al
most speechless early in the day
by a turn Of fortune which comes
to but few in this vale of tears.
Otto was enjoying a round of
the ancient and honorable game
which made Bobby Jones famous
and, facing a strong headwind he
used his spoon TO play the 40
yard No. 2 green. Otto drove, the
ball shot out along the ground,
struck half way, rolled up to the
bunker, bounced sideways off the
mound onto the green, rolled
along in a sweeping curve-and
stopped neal the cup. Then along
came a friendly breeze and top
pied the sphere into the elusive
hole. And Otto had his hole-in-
enc, a feat only realized once be-
fore on the Scobey course Roy
Johnson captured the honor last
year on the 231-yard No. 5.
Otto wasn't long in retrieving
the ball and we expect to see it
mounted in gold on an ebony base
and set where it will provoke the
greatest envy among the members
of the local club.
Otto is more than pleased that
he had plenty of good witnesses
to his skillful feat. A minister,
a banker, an abstract man and a
newspaper man were his oppon-
ents in the game.
Just the preacher and the
printer is all I need for witness
es." says Otto, nobody will ques-
ton their veracfty.

The Words In Which
Bridge Was Dedicated

Last weeks story of the bridge
dedication and celebration did not
give the exact words in which the
bridge was opened and dedicated.
The omission was inadvertent. In
the performance of the ceremony
Miss Smith said:
To-day we weld this important
link, joining in closer friendship,
the north and south countries.
"In memory OF the pioneers Of
past generations who visioned the
spanning Of the Missouri;
ITO the present generation
whose initiative and untiring ef-
forts have made this long cher
tshed dream q reality; ,
And to those OF future gener-
atoms to whom this achievement
will serve as an incentive to
greater development we formally
open and dedicate this Wolf Point

SO PEOPLE MAY KNOW
HOW BALLOTS ARE MADE

The editor was in a polling
place Tuesday evening while the
canvass of the ballots was being
made. Quite a number of people;
were present besides the election
board. A man, a candidate whose.
name was Oh the ballot, by the
way, was watching the canvass
and remarked, ever so knowingly
to no one in particular but so
all could hear: Il e my oppon-
ent's name is at the top on all
these ballots. But of course there
are quirks in all games and in
politics"
The insiuuation was unmistak-
able that trickery had been re-
sorted to In printing the ballots
The only alternative to that con-
clusion was that the man doing
the talking knew nothing about
the legal requirements for arrang-
ing the names on a primary ell
ection ballot.
Serious Chdrge
The effect was the same on
those who heard the remark. They
naturally and reasonably conclud-
ed that the county printer was
juggling the anne to the bene-
fit of certain candidates and the
disadvantage of others. A very
serious charge, if it was true. Just
for the information of the glib
talker, and any others who care
to know, it Is we'll to explain at
this time that a state law pro-
vides in explicit and imperative
language how primary ballots
must be made.
The crucial part is contained
In these provisions:
For Offices for which there are
candidates, n half the BAL
lots ordered for any county must
be printed as the copy comes
from the secretary OF state and
the county clerk and recorder.
