According to information reaching
the Libby station of the Great North :
ern railway, says Station Agent Boyes,
the company has been granted per-
mission to discontinue the goose"
trains, Nos. 263 and 264. To make up

will be put on No. Is, the eastbound
express train, due in Libby at 2:46
p m While these trains will not give
the service to this immediate section

ginning next Saturday.
The G. NJ dinkey between Bonners
Ferry is being discontinued The

tinued have been operating between

Tariff Is
Chief Topic Of
Rally Talks
Goodly Audience Out to
Hear Candidates Discuss
Issues Of Campaign.
URGES ELECTION OF
G.. o. P. CONGRESS

Il firmly believe in the republican
principle of the protective tariff ano
in my representation of Montana in the
United States senate. I will Support
that principle for the welfare<of Mon
tana industries"
That declaration came from Albert J
Galen, republican candidate for United
States senator in an interview with
the Western News shortly after his ar
rival here Tuesday The Galen party
reached here from Shelby where the
candidates were accorded hearty re-
ception by voters of that section.
Included in the party were Leonard
c. Young, candidate for reelection to
the Montana railroad commission; Mrs
Albert Galen, who is accompanying
the judge on the campaign tour; and
Mrs. Barbara Simmonds OF Butte, an
intimate friend of the Galen family
who appeared in several song numbers
at the republican rally. Mark D. Fitz-
garrald candidate for congressman
from the First district, met the group
here and will continue with the other
candidates on the swing through west
ern Montana
In spite Of rainy weather a goodly
number turned out to hear the republi-
can candidates speak at the republican
rally held that evening. The speakers
were introduced by NJ p. Rowland Of
Libby, republican candidate for state
senator, who first introduced Leonard
Young, candidate for railroad commits
sioner.
Mr.. Young spoke In more or less
facetious manner, referred in euloeist-
ic terms to his brother candidates and
promised, if elected, to always bear
in mind the interests OF the people of
Montana Following Mr.. Young, Judge
Galen was introduced. He spoke at
some length although handicapped by
a bad cold He denied that he is a
"wringing wet as his opponents would
have the public believe, although he
did believe present conditions made
some change in handling
the liquor question. Much of his ad-
dress had to do with the principle Of
a protective tariff.
THE policy of the protective tariff
is particularly applicable in the area
about Libby" Justice Galen declared.
your lumber industry here is Of vast

gun in their campaign next Monday
evening, October 20, when Governor
John E. Erickson will be in Libby to
address the voters on the issues of the

Libby opera house, at o'clock.
Governor Erickson is always popu-
lar with Libby audiences, and Libby

them inasmuch as he was for a num-
Der of years district Judge and held
court here frequently. He is assured
good audience.
M E. Schouweiler, chairman Of the
democratic county central committee,
says he has no further information as
to whether there will be other speak
ers from the state organization with
the governor, but that one or two To-
cal speakers will probably have a part
in the program.

THEY EXPECT IT.

Our game Friday with Plains is a
deciding factor in the "B" champion
ship class in football. 1t is true we
have to play Eureka, but we feel con-
fident that we can overcome Eureka.
In order to give the students the
benefit of seeing the game Friday,
school will be dismissed at two o'clock.
Any student who is dismissed Friday
and who deliberately refuses to at
tend the game should be rightly called
a Stacker
Our team not only needs the sup
port of everyone of the students but
also the backing of the people of Lib
by. Everyone should attend this game.
The men have practiced diligently
night after night. As result they have
been moulded into machine. Every
one OF them is striving for this game.
They need our support. Give it to
them.

of school list Of the pupils who have
made good scholarship records will be
published in the Tamnrack. In grades |
to 4 it will be necessary for the pupil
to secure four grades of E or better to
be on the roll. Two Of these grades must
be in reading and arithmetic which arc
considered of primary Importance in
these grades. In grades five and six
the requirements are the same except
that language takes the place of read
ing.
In the junior and senior high schools
point system is followed. An A counts
three points, B counts two and c
is worth one point Pupils are required
to make e. average Of B. To work this
out, take the number of studies car
ried, including department, and multi
ply 1t by TWO. The product represents
a number that must be equaled by
adding up the ones, twos and threes
that are gained by making 6, B or As.
A red mark on card keeps the hold
err from chance to add UP his points
as red mark indicates unsatisfactory
work in some line. This should be cor
rected before the pupil is considered
eligible to the Honor Roll. 1t will be
seen that a c in department or any
study does not bar a pupil from max
ing the coveted honor provided he
does particularly well in some other
line.
The Honor Roll is an attempt to en-
courage pupils to do good, consistent
work-better than the average. 1t is an
honor that can be gained by any pupil
who is willing to make the effort. A
supplementary Honor Roll will be pub
lished in each room to recognize the
pupils who are improving in their
work
Parents are urged to talk over the
school work with their children. The
report cards are practically the only
method for the teacher to communicate
with the parent and the grades are a
careful effort on the part Of the teach
er to indicate the type of work that
the pupil is doing
An average child should not fall be-
low {. If he does it is the occasion for
conference between patron and
teacher and such a conference is an
opportunity welcomed by the teacher.
Many of the pupils are slow in getting
into the harness" and have not turned
out their best work in this first six
weeks. A red mark is not always a
sign of carelessness or indifference on
the part of the pupil but it is some-
thing of concern to the home and to
the school
There is very noticeable attitude
on the part of the teachers in every
department to keep their pupils up to
standard. Libby should send out rep
resentatives that are equal to those Of
any other school. To do so means a
continual effort to bring pupils up to
grade. We ask the cooperation of
every pupil and parent to make the
Libby schools second to none in schol-
arship.

Santa Fe Trail
At Fox Imperial

The spirit of the cold West y,
lives again in "Thc Santa Fe
Trail -, Paramount S new western
sound film which comes to Fox I'M
Icrial Theater tonight and tomor-
row, with an all star east.
1.-The Santa Fc Trail is based
on the novel "Spanish Acres, by
hal G. Evarts, which was a popular
serial in the Saturday Evening
Post about two years ago. 1t de-
picts the stirring events in a large
southwest section, scene of vio-
lent cattle war, in which Indians,
old settlers and "pilgrims - are in
volved
Richard Arlen has the leading
role with Rosita Moreno in the role
Of heroine. Eugene Palette, Mitzi
Green, talented juvenile star, and
Junior Durkin supply much of the
comedy relief for the film.
1.-THE Sante Fe Trail tells a real
story, with all of the interest in
which true tales of the "Old West y
abound. There is none of the ex-
travagant and improbable atmos-
pherc attached to so many western
pictures.
