From Young Peoples Weekly:
~Illiteracy is universally recogniz-
cd as a tragedy. The man who
cannot read and write is pitied by
everybody. Someone has pointed
out, however, that one who does
not read good books has no ad-
vantage over n who cannot read
them.
If your reading is confined TO
sensational newspapers and trashy
magazines, you are really little
better off than that %illiterate.
That which you do read, does
you no good and you pay Nc at
tention to the books which might
help you. What is the good of
knowing how to read If you read
only that which is worthless?
FIJI. Livingston will act as de-
bate judge at Brockton IN Satur-
day night of this week.
Leta King has enrolled in the
Hamilton, Montana, high school.
At the present time these schools
have made entries for the official
district music meet to be held at
Wolf Point March 2S: Flaxville,
Scobey, Opheim, Poplar and Wolf
Point. This a good meet.
Scobey may bring a band.
We received a hundred copies
of the flag code from the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary for use in our
school. The plan is to study these
for two weeks and then a prize of
one dollar will be given to the boy
and girl writing the best theme on
the flag. A literary program on
the topic Flag Etiquette" will be
given on Friday of the last week.
This is a most worthwhile un-
dertaking. No child should grow
up in ignorance of flag etiquette.

Fat Folks May Eat

BY IRVING

The idea that potatoes are fat
tening has been disproved by ply
sicians and they are being rec
commended in diets, George l..
Knight told Montana potato pro-
ducers attending thee Sun River
Potato Marketing association.
He urged the need of close ex-
animation and culling of diseased
tubers and the value of plant in
spection to increase production.
The average per capita con-
sumption of potatoes in the Unit
ed States is three bushels while
in Ireland the per capita consump-
ton is seven.

A mythical team was chosen by
vote of the coaches from the four

last game. The first team includ-

Nashua presented a beautiful
trophy to Wolf Point for the cham
pionship and another trophy to
Hinsdale as winner of the second
game. The other two teams also
received trophies. Mr.. Brocksmith
of Nashua and Mr.. Livingston of
Wolf Point acted as referees. A
good crowd saw the games.

entertained at the girls dornitory.
Nashua can be proud of their
girls and also their boys dormi-
tories. Eighteen girls from the
rural section are housed in the
girls dorm and 8 boys in the 9th
er. The cost of board and room
per pupil is $14.00 per month. A
matron and a teacher are in
charge. Wolf Point has long felt
the need of such dormitories. Dor
mitories eliminate the necessity
of school children. patching In
shacks. The health and the morals
of the students are thus better
guarded.
Styer and Livingston furnished
cars to take the teams. The best

Nashua Tournament
(By Miss Wahl)

Friday, February 20, marked the
close of the basketball season for
the girls in this vicinity in the
form of a tournament held at
Nashua. There were four entries,
Nashua, Hinsdale, Brockton and
Wolf Point.
AS a result of the drawings pre-
ceding the games Brockton and
Hinsdale met at 2:30 and Nashua
and Wolf Point at $3.50. Brockton
scored over Hinsdale by a wide
margin. Nashua and Wolf Point
showed a better match. Nashua
was in the lead at the end of the
half-the score being as. During
the third quarter Helen Louise
Styer made two field goals and AL
ia Cusker one, while Nashua gain
ed only one free throw. The score
then was 10-7 in Wolf Points fav-
or. The final score was 1919, Styer
having made two clever field goals
just before the blowing of the
whistle.
Preceding the evening games
representatives from each team
entered the free throw contest.
Fifteen throws were given. The
prize was awarded to Violet Nc
Kee of Nashua who made 8 bas-
kets. Helen Louise Styer of Wolf
Point was next in line with a
score of s.
Since there were only four en-
tries in the tournament, the first
game in the evening was the Hins-
dale-Nashua consolation gam e.
Hinsdale scored in this, thus win
ming the trophy for second place.
The championship game be-
tween Wolf Point and Brockton
was very close up to the very
end. At the close of the first
quarter the score was 90. The
half ended with "A. The points in
the third quarter included a field
goal for Brockton and three free
throws by Styer for Wolf Point,
bringing the score to 7-6 with
Wolf Point in the lead. Alta Gus
ker then made another field goal
raising the score to 9-6. This was
quickly followed by a field goal
and a free throw by Brockton, ev-
ening the score to 90. During the
last minute Styer with free throw
brought the score to 10-9, thus Civ
ing Wolf Point first place in the
tournament.

afternoon and evening games was:

Major Construction
Projects to Start in
Washington Shortly
Pharmaceutical Building
and Big Apartments
Are Planned.

Starting of construction in the near

ing, but definitely projected have a
total estimated construction cost of
S807, 900.
The largest in this list is the moru-
mental headquarters building for the
American Pharmaceutical Association,
to be erected on the north side of Con-
stitution avenue between Twenty-sec-
ond and Twenty-third streets, detailed
plans for which were revealed this
week at the District Building. The

Definite Measures Suggested.
In this campaign civic leaders are re-
minding property owners Of their obi
CATION to assist in maintaining the
character Of the appearance Of the Ma
tional Capital and leaders are suggest
ing definite ways IN which this OBJ
jective can be obtained.
The thought of Frightening up the
Capital for the Bicentennial, of course,
implies steady application OF such eff
forts. Washington ranks high as a
clean city, it is pointed out, due to the
extensive Government holdings and the
lack of any large amount of heavy in
dustrial plants of low type, but cam
paign leaders say no city can be so
clean that 1t cannot be made cleaner.
Experiences here have proved to
many property owners, in addition, the
actual cash value to themselves. as we'll

reasonably cheap expenditure here and
