RIV-U-IET SALESMEn
HOLD DISTRICT MEET

A meeting of Riv-U-Let fruit

TEN-MILL ROAD LEVY
UP AT JULY PRIMARY

The county commissioners were
in session this week and trans
acted considerable business.
Among other things taken up
was the matter of voting on an
extra ten-mill levy for road
building purposes. The commits
sioners are besieged at nearly ev-
cry meeting with delegations from
various localities who want roads
built into their communities. But
the county has been cramped in
its road building program by lack
of funds. Two years ago a ten
mill levy was voted for one year.
That did not provide money
enough for the two year period.
So this year at the primaries the
question OF a ten-mill road levy
to extend over a two-year period
will be submitted to the voters.
It is believed that such a levy
will go over with a big majority.
Country people realize the need
for such a levy more keenly than
do people in the towns of the
county, but everyone agrees that
any which facilitates the
marketing Of farm products, is
of benefit, directly or indirectly,
to everyone within the area af-

WRITES BAD CHECKS
BLAMES 1T To BOOZE

Charles Council, u~ndersheriff
went to Dickinson this week and
brought back A. p. Johnson, &C,
cused of writing worthless checks.
Johnson was formerly employed
in Wolf Point and was consider
ed an Industrious man. He is 81
years old and claims never to
have gotten into any trouble be-
fore. More than fifty of these
bum checks, written on the First
State Bank, were passed in Wolf
Point, Poplar, Culbertson and 9TH
er places. The amounts range
from $3.50 to $3.50 10, and Johnson
says he has no idea what the ag-
gregate amount is. He says that
booze was the cause of his writ
ing the checks when he had no
funds on which to draw.
Hearing will be before Judge
Turner at Poplar Friday.

RURAL SCHOOL FIELD MEET, VOLT
ECLIPSES ITS FORMER RECORDS
1900 Students And Adults Attend; Best Exhibits
Performances, And Sports; Parents And Big
Brothers Help By "Tugging" And Tossing;
Mothers Heave Missiles At Paternal Domes; High
Band Plays; Roosevelt Wins Top Honors.

The 1880 Field Meet at Volt,
Wednesday, for the 10 rural
schools of District As, was a gen
uine record breaker, any way it
was considered. Those who have
attended all of them say that
never were so many people in at
tendance, never were the exhibits,
the performances. and the stunts
of the students of such high
class. Everybody was delighted
with the progress being made by
the rural schools. The nice, new
Volt school building with its
basement provided a good place
to display the wonderfully clever,
and carefully prepared work of
the various schools and to get
the children costumed for their
performances. Much better and
more of them was many times
remarked about the exhibits.
Somebody did a good job of
picking the date, for the day was
the brightest and dryest of sew
eral, both before and after, how
ever, the northwest breeze was a
bit fresh for those lot clothed
for it.
The tiny farm village of Volt
was a hive of activity. One hun
bred sixty cars and trucks we're
counted at n time, and they
were coming and going at nearly
all times. All were packed with
Riddles and grown folks. They
would easily average seven or
eight to a vehicle, so the total
estimated at 1900 or more.
would have been an opportune
time for Volt to have had its
taken.
Director Simon and his cham
pion high school band, and also
his junior band were there and
gave a much enjoyed concert
that added spirit and dash to the
program.
The grown-ups entered into the
contests intended for them with
as great interest as the children
lid in theirs. The tug of war,
North versus South, afforded
some thrilling moments while
rictory hung in the balance. The
South district men, with an APP
,arently lighter team won through
determination and team
work.
