will be held each evening.
The Liberty theatre puts on a
continuous performance from FIVE
o'clock until eleven in the eve
ming, with a complete change of

attract a large crowd.
Three AirpIanes
The Lone Wolf, plane of the
Wolf Point Always, and a Can
field cabin plane from Williston,
are busy taking up passengers af-
ter the days performance and in
the morning. There is also an

Clyde Kline and Overland Red
T the cowboy clowns. Overland
Red, who learned his Glowing in
Ringling's circus, and who has
been on previous programs with
his trick mule and his high school
horse, likes the Wolf Point SIAM
pede. He is unqualified in his
praise the Wolf Point show as the
best in the United States for it's
size. He says that the horses are
as good as those used in much
bigger rodeos, and that the high
class show put on here, as well as
the good money paid is attracting
the big time riders.
A loud speaker announcer has
been installed this year, which
adds greatly to the enjoyment of
the program, for it enables every
n to hear the announcements
as to the riders and their mounts.
The loud speaker apparatus was
brought here by Raymond Rathert
who is a brother of Fred Rathert.
The Thursday program was broad
cast over KICK giving people at
a distance a chance to listen in,
and get an audible -cross-section
of the rodeo, even if they missed
the thrill of the spectacular evtns.
Other Entertainment Features
Although no Carnival company
contracted for space here during
the Stampede, there are a number
of stands and concessions of vari-
Il sorts on Main street. The

of which has been roped off. These

DISCOuRAGING

With all due respect to Or legislature and courts we just have
to remark that the situation left by the supreme court decision on the
state institution bonds is disgusting, discouraging. It is a situation
that surely could have been avoided. 1t is a n incident that cannot fail
to cause many good people to let down in their opinion of law makers
and courts. 1t makes one wonder how many laws now in force could
be declared unconstitutional if an action to test them was brought.
Here was something that needed to be done. The voters okayed
it. But apparently we cannot get away with the job of doing ii. The
complications and technicalites of the laws will get us yet, if we
don't watch out Next thing we know we will be going round and
round, like a pup chasing it's tail
