On January 10, 1926, when A
W. Huxsol and J. ". Schnitzlel
of Froid were aboard the steam
ship Adriatic on their trip to the
Holy Land, as they were nearing

1900 miles since it originally
left Wolf Point, Mr.. Huxsol's
card has been returned to him.
1t was picked up on the north
eastern coast of the Dominican
Republic, the part known as "Ba-
hal E~scocesa", in the summer of
1928, and several months ago was
returned to Mr.. HuXsol by j..

KICK PROGRAM
OUTLOOK WEEK
DAILY TALKS ON SITUATION
IN AGRICULTURAL
FIELD

The week Cd March 1q-15 will
be Agricultural Outlook week over
KICK. Daily talks on the agri-
cultural situation and the outlook
for all crops and livestock grown
in this territory will be broadcast
as a part of the MONDAY pro-
gram.
Paul Carpenter of the agricul-
tural economics department of
Montana State college will give
the opening talk on Monday,
March 10, giving a brief history
of the outlook service and the
results obtained to date. The sue
ceeding talks which will follow
throughout the week will cover
wheat, flax, beef and dairy cattle,
sheep, hogs and poultry.
Mr.. Carpenter recently returned
from Washington, D. c., where he
assisted in the compilation of the
National Agricultural outlook for
1880. The clear understanding of
the situation today, afforded by
this study, places him in an ex-
cellent position to advise farmers
of northeastern Montana relative
to probable production this year.

Talking Pictures At
The Liberty Theatre

Broadway, the first talking
picture to be presented in Wolf
Point drew big houses at the
Liberty theatre and Mrs. Sever
son received showers of congrat-
ulations and heard many favor
able comments. Installing talking
and sound equipment is an ex-
pensive, technical and complicat-
ed piece of engineering and the
marked success of the venture is
a source of great satisfaction to
the theatre management and also
to the public.
1t is true that theatre fans
have to become accustomed to
the style of pictures used by the
producers of talking pictures, but
that does not take long. The two
pictures that have followed
broadway, 1.-THE Girl From Ha-
wanna" and "They Had to See
Paris, were both rated even
higher than the first one by ev-
erybody interviewed.
Another fine program is coming
up next week and includes pre-
views Of coming pictures.

COUNTY BOARD ATTENDS
TO ROUTINE MATTERS

The Board of County Commits
sioners met in regular session
this week and attended the rou
tine business of the month.
On account of the stringent
budget law which is now in eff
feet, the county commissioners
must estimate ahead of time Just
what their expenditures are 60
ing to be in each department. 1t
was impossible to foresee last
summer the amount of crime that
would come up calling for inves-
tigation on the part of the coun-
ty attorney and for an extraordin-
airy heavy amount of expense for
the jury term of court. In consid-
ering the subject the commission
ers were forced to declare an
emergency and the need for adj
ditional funds with which to meet
expenses incurred by such a
crime wave.
j. A. Mccain of Lanark appear
ed before the board in regard to
the matter of trees along the
highway which had been cut down
by him. The trees cut were much
priced and admired by the peo-
pie of the surrounding country
and by travellers along the high
way, and their destruction caused
considerable furore in the east
end. Mr.. Mccain explained to the
commissioners that it had been
his opinion that the owner Of
land along a highway had the
right to all stumpage to the mid
die of the highway, but that he
had found out his error. He also
stated that he had stopped the
cutting as soon as the matter was
brought to his attention.
