to census e~numerators in a city

their time for about two weeks,

49, -
A hungry pack of Wolves, teeth
groved into a systematic machine,
that will surely send them to the
state championship this year, wal
Hoped the Miles City Cowboys, II
to IL, in a game here Saturday
night that resulted in showering
Coach R. L. Boe's team with many
compliments. He has a genuine
team. At half time the score was
IL to 2 in favor of the team from
the Missouri river.
In the last four minutes Coach
Sam Kain's Cowboys did their
best to overcome the lead of the
Wolves which was Is to II. But
how can a quint catch up when
Bechtel and Herman, as smooth a
combination as seen on the floor
here this season, worked with the
perfection OF clock work. In the
last three minutes Wright in the
jump Off, 20 feet from the basket,
slapped the ball into the basket.
The house rocked with applause.
Bechtel in the third period and
Wright in the opening quarter
shot the casaba into the basket
from the side center of the floor
that brought yells and screams
from the cash customers.
Custer Cowboys were not func-
tioning as in other games so far
this year. Perhaps the stiff COM
petition showed them up. 1t seem
ed at times that the boys were
logging it. 1t seemed that way.
Time and again the Cowboys had
chances to break up defenses
they didn't. The Wolves
had an enviable defense.
In the last three minutes Joe
Casey, took chances at long dis
lance shooting, and sunk one in
the basket. Elongated Pat Caven
put one in from the side amid
opposition, that was well earned.
1t was a cool, easy-going ma
this pack from the Mis-
souri, river. 1t reminded the spec
tators so much Of the 1929 Gus
ter county high school lineup.
Bechtel had a habit of hiber-
mating on the side, near the goal,
and waiting patiently till he was
given the oval, and into the basket
t went. Custer never caught on
o the fact that he was there. And,
90, the Wolves did not need to
,rowl, for they were a c%ool-head-
ID gang.
This is their fourth victory this
week, and despite the hard barn
forming trip, they played rings
round the Custer Cowboys.
Miles City could not function in
he first half, although the boys
i'd squirt forward some in the
asst ten minutes.

Take Testimony
All Culbertson

A. M. Foor, county attorney,
and Miss Marie Tessman went to
Culbertson to take testimony in
connection with an unfortunate
incident which occurred some time
ago. 1t seems that Mark Moore,
a freshman, sustained serious in
jury to his eyes by having lime
spattered in them. The trouble
occurred at the time the freshmen
were whitewashing the large let
ter C on the hillside near the city
and upper classmen came along
and some interclass hostilities en-
sued with the unlocked for result
of the injury to the Moore boys
eye.

RED CROSS LOCAL
BRANCH MEETING
MONTANA MANAGER Visits
ROOSEVELT COUNTY TO
OFFER PLAN

Irene Begley, Montana manager
of the national Red Cross society,
spent several days in Roosevelt
county this week and was in Wolf
Point Tuesday to Thursday. Tues
day noon a meeting of the Wolf
Point branch of the county organ
ization was held at the Sherman
hotel with Miss Begley present.
Others present were: o. c. John
son, chairman; John H. Appel
gren, secretary-treasurer; Arlie M.
Foor, home service chairman;
Calvin L. Rogers, roll call chair
man; Mrs. Margaret Inglehart,
junior Red Cross chairman.
Permanent Nurse Plan
Plans looking to better prepar-
alton for benefit from Red Cross
service were considered. Miss
Begley hopes to enlist support
from the county organization and
the county itself sufficient to es-
tablish a permanent Red Cross
nurse service in this county dur
ing six months of each year. She
found the county chapter at Gull
bertson and the branches at Froid,
Bainville, Brockton, Poplar and
Wolf Point friendly to the plan.
The matter was presented to the
commissioners who took it
lnder consideration. A competent
nurse would visit every school in
he county and make a thorough
examination of each pupil. Besides
his she would give instruction
o all who wished it in health
ind rescue work. That it would be
/ highly valuable service, well
worth it's cost is the opinion of
many.
Miss Begley says she found 81
members on the Red Cross roll
n Wolf Point and a total of 252
MEMBERS in the county.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG

Spring is here and is becoming
more noticeable day by day. Thaw-
ing OF the snow banks goes on
all day and continues at a slower
rate all night. If it were March
or April it would be time to watch
for blue birds and meadow larks.
1t is not generally expected that
Gentle Annie will be able to make
more than a friendly visit this
trip but she will return in good
season. Everybody comes back to

Drives Over Hose
Judge Fines Him $25

Frank Wilson of the Southside
was brought before Judge Gordon
recently charged with driving ov-
e r fire hose at the time of the
Wolf Den rooming house fire on
Jan. "a. Complaint was made by
Charlie Howe, fire chief. Wilson
pleaded guilty to the charge and
was fined s25. 1t is probably not
generally known that driving over
a fire hose is a misdemeanor pun
ishable by a fine, but such is the
case.

What is the American Bar Association going to

What is the national commission law observ-

Of the specific charges of this Wickersham commits
sion is to investigate the lawlessness of law officials
Such legal lawlessness is recognized officially as
one of the major issues before it. And here in the

The Dam-Hoover, Boulder or Tinker's?

From our scouts we learn that one OF the grave
issues to blow up storm on Capitol Hill this winter
will be the name of the dam which, God and Ari-
iona willing is to be built in the echoing gorges of
the Bronco Colorado.
When at the recent spke-driving ceremonies at
Las Vegas, Dr. Wilbur cflristened it Hoover dam, y
he punctuaed his invocation with three lusty whacks
of a sledge-hammer, driven, it seemed with bellig
erent, almost vndictive feeling
The reason. perhaps, that when another
famed Hooverite, Senator Reed Smoot, tried last
January to rename the dam Hoover dam" by senate
resolution he rdiculed by senators and eventually
Snubbed
Throughout the Boulder damn controversy" said
Senator Pat Harrison, 81 dare say that not senator
received in his efforts to pass this legislation
word of approval encouragement from the present
President of the United States 1t is often Mr.
President when one who refuses to attend the birth
of child is permitted to name it,
Others sarcastically suggested it be called Smoot
dam. Others, in earnest, suggested Davis dam, for
Arthur Powell Davis the real father of the project
Others insist that for ten years it's been called Bou-
der dam, and Boulder dam it stay
For ourselves, who have had a word or two to say
about the project, not tinkers dam
who calls it what long as it goes up pronto and
Goes its job in the southwest.

Love and Truth !

L L two things which I did not
say, I was not permitted, to say
what I did say, and that lis that a
cosnical religion is not religion,
though it may be cosmical.
"a man, 1 said, will lay down his

himself for it alone.
mot even Einstein can make a
religion out of it, for if religion
means anything it has some rela-
ton to love and truth.
But there is no love in cos
mical religion. Man never has,
never will, and never can love any
thing he car not get his arms
around, and the cosmos is. too big
and too bulky.
"That is why, I suppose, the I'm

Peoples Voice

Editor Times-The greatest single
class of buyers in the United States
is the farming class. Farmers, in
the census of 1880, are classified as:
Farmers who live on their farms;
farmers who live in towns or viii
lagos and rent their lands; tenants
living on farms; farm hands; and
all the dependent children, parents,
brothers or sisters, and any others
who may be dependent upon these
active ones for their living.
These classes number more than
forty million in this country. Their
buying power depends upon the
money the farm produces, and that
depends upon the price received for
livestock, grain and other feeds. If
the price is below the cost Of pro-
duction, these classes will have no
buying power except for the barest
necessities. But if the price shows
a profit above the cost of production,
their buying power will expand pro-
portionately. That makes what we
know as prosperity.
The secret, then, Of restoring
prosperity is simple. 1t does not lie
in running factories to produce
goods for which there is no demand.
Nor does it lie in hiring few hun
dred thousand to build roads or dig
waterways.
What would few hundred thou
sand amount to as compared to
forty million? The secret, then, is
to restore the buying power Of the
farm classes, forty millions Of peo-
pie. How? Let congress repass the
farm bills vetoed by the last three
Presidents and give them a fair
trial.
When one man, wearing no more
than Ia hat, vetoes bill passed
by 600 legislators without giving the
law a tryout, it is, to say the least,
rather presumptuous. When Grundy
asked for a tariff law, higher than
ever had been known, it was signed
ny tl1C 64CAAO0b 40AcA4AE a
question as to its disastrous effect.
1t already has driven 1900 factor
les to Canada, and threatens to i'm
pede our exports by retaliatory
tariffs. Why not give the forty mil
lion in the farming class the bene-
fit Of the doubt, as they did for
Grundy, and probably the dire
prophesies of our 7H Presidents
might turn out to be as unfounded
as other dire prophecies turned out
to be, when other good laws were
passed.
If they do not produce the results
hoped for, then try something else.
But the secret of restoring prosper
ity is to restore the buying power Of
the forty million in the farming
class.

Jobs Come First

MO matter how interested rep
L y reSentatives or senators may be
in some particular project or policy,
it should be laid aside until the gov
eminent has done what it can to
relieve and rectify present condi-
tons.
The problem Is not only one of
bread and meat for the jobleSs, but
of putting the nations economic
structure back on its feet, Of re-
facilitating industry and agricul-
tIlre, and, above all else, of letting
the people, not only here, but
abroad, know that the United States
government is neither broke nor
dismayed.
1t has been suggested by a group
of business men and social welfare
leaders that congress authorize a
bond issue of one billion dollars for
public works, in addition to such ap-
preparations and relief measures as
are likely to be adopted.
The suggestion is not fantastic,
much less impractical.
1t represents only small fraction
Of what we did to wage war, and
though not as great, perhaps, the
emergency We now face means quite
as much to many people.
AS a matter of fact, congress bet
ter could afford to authorize a bond
issue of two billion dollars than do
nothing.

SCIENCE
Einstein's VieO That Space
Is Curved Gives Rise to
NAM Ne1O Theories.
.RY DAVID DIETZ--

THE ghosts of stars as well as
i stars themselves may be shining
down upon us from the heavens
This is the startling conclusion to be
drawn from recent work upon the
nature and structure Of the universe
growing out of the application OF
Einstein's theory Of relatively to the
problems Of the universe.
Scientists now have to ask them
selves a new question, a question
which never occurred to them be-
fore. 1t is: How many Of the stars
are real?
The situation is not quite as dis
turbing as it might seem from the
question just propounded. For
there are no doubts about the nearer
stars.
There are no doubts about the
stars which can be seen with the
unaided eye and there are no
doubts about the great majority OF
stars to be seen with quite powerful
telescopes.
The doubt applies chiefly to the
very distant collections Of stars, the
so-called spiral nebulae which lie at
immense distances from the Milky
Way.
1t is quite possible, however, that
some of the fainter clusters Of stars
now believed to be part Of the Milky
Way eventually may come under
suspicion.
