LERT0N HALL ARRESTED
VIOLATION PROHlB. ACT

Lerton Hall was arrested or q
bench warrant issued by the fed
eral grand jury, and was brought
before Commissioner Stennes Fri
day and placed under $500 bonds.
The bondsmen are George Vel
zenbach and Bill Lane, The war
rant was issued some time ago,
but Hall has been as elusive as a
weasel, officers say, and managed
to keep out of their sight although
he was seen in town a number nf
times after the warrant was issu-
ed. He was arrested by Martin
Mitchell about two weeks ago,
but asked to be allowed to go out
and get bondsmen. Mitchell let
him go on the understanding that
he would appear before Commits
sioner Stennes the following day
with his bondsmen. He failed TO
show up and the officers had a
hunt of several days before they
finally located him at his home.
When asked by Martin Mitchell
why he put the officers to so much
trouble when they trusted him.
Hall is said to have naively re
piled that if he got bondsmen he
would have to pay his own fare to
Great Falls when the case came
up, but that if they sent the us.
marshal after him his fare would
be paid.

VALLEY COUNTY PIONEER
HENRY CARPENTER dies

Henry Carpenter, n of the
earliest pioneers of Valley county,
was found dead in his home at
Glasgow Wednesday afternoon.
Death was caused by carbon mon
oxide poisoning from gases that
escaped from a stove which had
insufficient draft. The chimney
was found to be clogged up with
SCOT Funeral services will be
held at Glasgow Saturday.
Henry Carpenter was about rs
years old and was one of the ear
Hest settlers in this part of Monta-
ma, coming here from Kansas with
L. w. Gibson in 1876. The two
men remained close friends until
Gibson's death in 1920. AT first
they engaged in buffalo hunting,
and later in cattle raising In Daw-
son county. The winter of 1887
wiped out their cattle holdings,
and the following year they began
raising in Valley county.
They had one of the largest bands
of sheep in the Northwest, at one
time each of the men being worth
a quarter of a million dollars. Dur
ing the World War Mr.. Carpenter
purchased 500, 900 worth of Lib
ertl loan bonds. AT the time of
lis death, however, he was com
oaratively a poor man, most of his
'ortune having heen lost in unfoc-
innate oil investments in Texas.

HID. LEADERS TO MEET
AT CIRCLE 10, VIDA II

The second project leader meet
ing in the Kitchen Improvement
project will be held January 10th
at 100 p. m. at Circle, and Janu-
airy 18th at 100 p. m. at Vida.
In the Kitchen Improvement
project, it is not the aim of the
work to do any remodelling or ex-
pensive changing Of the kitchen,
but to make the best use of what
the farm woma has and to emph-
asize some homemade built-in
equipment which will not be ex-
pensive, but which add to the con-
venience of the kitchen, which
viii save time, labor and energy
for the home maker.
Also, since the kitchen is an in
dex of the standard of living Of
the family, it should be the most
room of the house.
Every project leader is urged 70
this meeting so that she
can take the work back to her
community group. Albetta Cole

WOLVES TASTE
FIRST DEFEAT
POPLAR'S WARRIORS TAKE
HARD FOUGHT BASKET
BATTLE, 20-16

Wolf Point plays at Poplar next
Tuesday. Let's go and root for re.

After eight straight victories,
four of them won on a western
tour last week. the high schools

pack Iunched on defeat at the
Wolf Point gym Thursday night.
The lads who banquetted on vie
tory at the Wolves expense were
their old-time friendly rivals, Pop
lar. The final score was 20 to 16.
The game had been scheduled for
the Poplar floor, but was switched
to furnish more entertainment for
the American Legion and Legion
Auxiliary convention.
Poplar has an extra good look
ing bunch-large, active and full of
light. Right now they are in the
role OF district favorites. If they
can acquire accuracy and keep
away from 80 many personal fouls
they should clean up the district
finals. Still, those Wolves will
bear close watching. Perfected
team work and adjusted sights,
and well, look out.
The score in the first half was
Poplar 8, Wolf Point z. In the
second half, which was the only
part of the game the reporter saw,
the visitors demonstrated t heir
ability to get the ball and keep it.
The play was in Poplar territory
about four minutes out of five.
The Poplars keptthe air filled with
heaves, long and short, most of
them wild, but enough got through
-ogether with free tries, to keep
hem on the long end of the score.
The Wolves shooting was none
90 good, but better than that or
heir opponents, considering the
lumber of chances. Both teams
viii, no doubt, make great i'm
before the district IT,

The preliminary game Thurs
night was between the sew

conjunction with the district con
vention OF the Women's Auxiliary

attendance from the Posts OF dis

northeastern corner of the state.
The mild weather and very good
roads added to the pleasure of the
day and size of the attendance at

During the late afternoon both
organizations held private business
sessions.
The public banquet at the Sher-
man cafe was scheduled for six
o'clock but did not begin until
an half hour later. Plates
laid for Ill. The banquet Don
was crowded to capacity and a
small over flow taken care Of in
an adjoining room. The banquet
room had been nicely decorated
in the national colors. Tiny Amer
lean flags and red, white and blue
boxes of CONNECTIONS yer the fay-
ors found at each place. An or
chestra furnished music.
Having taken good care of the
excellentiy prepared repast, the
jolly assemblage was all set for
the fun course, and were by no
means disappointed. Hugh N. Mar

as POSTMASTER, announced that
a Poplar-Wolf Point basketball

other feeds.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 15.-(Unitet
Press)-Swinging into the second
week of the twenty-second Mon
tana legislative Assembly, the
states lawmakers, their organiza
ton nearly completed, yer pre-
pared for really attacking the
states affairs.
Action on the proposal to issue
$4,000, 009 in debenture warrants
against anticipated gasoline tax
collections, was scheduled for &C
tion In the house whose members
we're furnished copies of the bill
for the purpose of study and dis
cussion.
Supporters of the proposal, in
Guiding Gov. ]. E. Erickson, mem
bers of the state highway commits
sion and the Montana Automobile
club, hope the will be
passed through both houses within
the next ten days so a test case
of the proposal may be made be-
fore the state supreme court.
If the high court passes upon
the measure favorably, on unprec-
dented highway program will be
launched and will continue for
four years as the debentures +
issued at the rate of $1,000, 900
annually, to be used to match a
similar sum Of federal aid money.

tant problem of allloting funds to

PATENTED ROASTING PROCESS CAPTURES
 FLAVOR OF COFFEE
Accurate Control of Heat Roasts Every Berry to
 a Perfect Degree

Coffee has the most delicate flavor of any food-product. Yet it is com pletely developed by Hills Bros ex- elusive Controlled Roasting process.
 As the accuracy of the hour-glass depends upon an even, continuous flow z. little at time -. so the matchless, uniform flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Con- trolled Roasting-the patented proc ess that roasts evenly, continuously c little at time. The rare blends flow through the roasters in automatically measured lots. The speed of operation and the tenn perature remain the same. Natur- ally, Hills Bros. Coffee never varies in flavor.
 The Usual, bulk-roasting methods can't maintain a uniform roast. That's why ordinary coffees don't have the same wonderful flavor as Hills Bros. Coffee. Controlled Roast ing is patented.
 Vacuum cans keep Hills Bros. Coffee fresh always. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is taken out and kept out of these cans. Even ordinary, "air-tight" cans do not keep coffee fresh. Order Hills Bros. Coffee today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trademark on the can.
