W.C.T.U. PRESIDENT
HERE TUESDAY
PROHIBITION AMENDMENT is
BETTER ENFORCED NOW
THAN FORMERLY

Mrs. Nellie Park Dawes of
Bozeman, president of the Mon
tana Women's Christian Temper
ance Union, was in Wolf Point
Tuesday on her way home from
the state w. G. T. u. convention
at Williston where she was one
of the principal speakers the latter
part of last week.
While in Wolf Poit she address
ed the school and the teachers at
the institute, spoke over KICK at
6:15 and again at the Women's
club meeting at Mrs. Inglehart's
in the evening.
She described the aims of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, to make better and happier
living conditions in the home, ev-
en- though to regulate such condi-
tons meant going outside the
home.
Speaking about the enforcement
of the prohibition amendment, she
said that is was only within the
last few years that a serious at
tempt had been made for enforce
ment. The amendment came after
800 years of experimenting with
every form of liquor control, in
Guiding state dispensaries, high
license and low license, etc. That
the amendment was wanted was
shown by the fact that it was rat
flied by all but two of the states,
a higher percentage ratification
than any other amendment had,
higher even than the constitution
itself. That things are getting bet
ter instead of worse is the opinion
of Mrs. Dawes. Under General
now head of the nation
al prohibition enforcement organi-
cation, effective work is being
done and an excellent enforcement
machine is being created. Accord
ing to Mrs. Dawes prohibition
should not be judged by the way
it was enforced during the time
when the administration was not
in sympathy with it's enforcement.

GAME EACH IN
WORLD SERIES
ST. LOUIS CONTESTS UP TO
STANDARD OF CLASSIC
SPORT EVENT

A great American question is
being answered this week and
next. Which is the worlds cham
pion baseball team, Connie Mack's
Athletics of Philadelphia or Cab
by Streets Cardinals of st. Louis ?
After two exciting games at ST.
Louis the series stands n game
each.
The field of battle will be shift
ed and Monday the series will con-
tinue at Philadelphia where three
games will be played. If necessary
the teams will then return to st.
Louis. Play continues until one
team has won four games.

But that is all right, somebody has
to lose. 1t was a great ball game
just the same. One of the kind
the fans like to watch, and it drew
the biggest crowd of the season
by far.
Clint Polling, a Williston ball
player who went up to organized
ball, and has been pitching for
Salt Lake City in the Western lea
que, was the victor's ace in the
hole and finally won for them.
Like Bob Grove in the first world
series game at st. Louis, Thurs
day, he was roughly handled in
the first inning. But he stuck
steadily to his job and improved.
For seven innings Mark Elder
outpitched Polling and if he had
possessed the physical stamina to
keep up the pace he would have
won his game. He had the Dakota
club swingers baffled by his
speedy slants and change of pace.
Four scattered hits and two runs
in seven innings is going some
for a lad without much experience
and no expert coaching, against a
team of leaguers and semi-pros
such as Manager Slyter brought
to town. Elder Jared poorly in the
Sth when three hits and an error
two runs to tie the con-
test. He might have come back to
form in the 9th for all that but it
seemed best to put In Dye, the
old reliable. Dye had been playing
field with little to do except watch
the batters go back to the bench
and sit down. He was not warmed
up and needed an inning to get the
ball under control. He had speed

Duck Season Opened
Thursday Noon, Oct. l

A fair quota of the local gun
ners yer up early Thursday
morning. Clothed, armed and fully
equipped for warfare on water
fowl, they left for the lakes and
streams to be ready when the
noon hour arrived. Prospects are
not bright for full bags. But there
is no bag limit to the enthusiastic
anticipation of a genuine sports
man.

RED CROSS AND STATE MEN
COORDINATE PLAN FOR
FUNDS DRIVE

o. c. Johnson, chairman of
the local Red Cross committee
has unofficial information that
Roosevelt county's quota for
the Red Cross membership
drive is $1,000. Valley county's
quota is S1,70o. The date for
starting the roll call IS Octo-
Der nth.
Governor Erickson'sH state relief
committee will join forces with
the Red Cross in raising funds
for drouth relief. The annual Red
Cross roll call will be combined
with a sweeping appeal for contri-
buttons from every person able
to give. Montana's quota is set at
$3.50, 900.
A story from Helena, says:
Determined to shoulder it's own
responsibilities so far as resources
permit, Montana, through Cover
nor Erickson's drought relief com
htNNCSf SCACCbCu lOlu NOuLdudHS.
Inc, today accepted a quota of
$250,000 to be raised in a state
wide campaign beginning Oct. II
That announcement was made
by William Baxter, Jr., manager of
the midwestern area of the Amer
lean Red Cross, upon his arrival
in this state from st. Louis. Bax-
ter is to attend a series of Red
Cross regional conferences in Mon
tana during the next week.
With assurance from Governor
Erickson, other state officials, bus
mess leaders and state organiza-
ton heads, that the state "can
and will deal with it's local prob
lem, Baxter pledged the resources
of the Red Cross to complete the
relief task. Ordinarily the Red
Cross conducts its annual roll call
in November, Baxter explained,
but, in order to focus statewide

attention on the S25O,000 goal, the
roll call is to be combined with
the relief fund appeal in this in
stance.
Governor Erickson expressed
confidence in the states ability
to oversubscribe the quota and ap-
pealed to the citizenship of Mon
tana to bend every effort in assist
ing the Red Cross to meet the
needs Of the drought sufferers.
GAS a result of the drought, 33
of Montana's counties are in dis
tress. The condition gives every
Indication of growing even more
acute during the winter months.
Unless they are given outside as
sistance, suffering will become
widespread among those in the
grip of the drouth's effects. The
Red Cross, through it's local units,
is providing for u less fortunate
neighbors, but the state must a.
waken to its responsibilities. Dis
tress in Montana primarily is Mon
tana's problem. AS a united people
we must answer humanity's cry
by providing funds necessary to
care for this states drought vic
Tins. The quota of $3.50, 900 should
be reached and over-subscribed if
possible without due delay. In the
name of u friends and neigh
bors, reduced to dependence by a
problem v which they had no
power, | urge Motanans in every
rank to respond to this worthy
call of humanity"
According to Baxter, the nation
al organization already has spent
S1O9, 305 in relieving distress in
the drought area Of this state. AT
present, $500 families are receiv-
ing Red Cross aid. During the win
ter months, Baxter expects that
number to climb to 300 families.
Red Cross assistance includes
food, clothing, medical supplies,
fuel and any other necessities of
life.

Shipments Furnish
Evidence of Drouth

A year ago, up to October LIST,
397 cars of wheat, of the 1880 crop,
had been shipped from Wolf Point
This year, to the same date, there
has been shipped from this station,
of the 1881 crop, exactly 0 cars
Of wheat and one car of flax. A
little wheat was raised in this ter
ritory but most of it is being held
to Use or sell for seed and some
was cut for feed. The elevators
and the flour mill have bought in
the neighborhood of a dozen cars
of wheat but it is not being ship
ped. OF the last years crop, which
was slightly less than an average
yield, more than 100000 bushels
were shipped from here. 1t is
doubtful if $4,000 bushels of wheat
were threshed in the same area

Meade Steele Arrested
On Wife-B Beating Charge

Meade Steele was brought into
justice court the first of the week
on an assault charge preferred by
his wife. The case has been set
for hearing on October 5th before
Judge Gordon. Steele's attorney
has asked that the case be heard
in the Indian court, claiming that
both parties are wards of the gov
eminent and that the alleged as
sault occurred on Indian land. Mrs.
Steele, it is said, does not want
the case tried in Indian court.
According to reports Mrs. Steele
was at the Moses Whitehorse
home when Steele went there and
began beating his wife and tear
ing the clothes from her body.
Mrs. Whitehorse tried to make
Steele desist and he finally did so.

HUNDREDS ENJOY
MONSTER PICNIC
SCHOOL STUDENTS, ADULTS
HAVE FUN AROUND BON
FIRES AT EVE

What was probably the largest
number of community people ever
seen at a local picnic responded
Monday evening to the announce
ment made that morning that the
big wiener roast was on. Several
days of fair weather had dried the
mud left by last weeks rains. The
day was beautiful, although even
ing brought a few clouds that has
tened the coming of dusk.
The members of the local unit
of the National guard were taken
to the timber in advance and cut
brush and collected fuel for a big
bon fire. From the close Of school
until five O'Clock there was a pro-
cession to the site of the new rec
reation park at the north end of
the Missouri river bridge. 1t was
estimated there were between $50
and 200 cars, and trucks and all
came packed full.
The thousand-foot bridge and the
ground below was alive with shout
ing children and strolling elders.
A few kitten ball games were
started but nearly all found nor
joy in the charm of nature and the
freedom of the outdoors. AS even
ing made its presence felt in cool
ness and shadows, bon fires and
wiener fires were lighted, lunch
baskets opened and wiener sticks
cut. 1t would be an interesting
item of local statistics if the num-
Der of hot dogs that whined and
barked over the heat of the Goals
could be estimated. The markets
were sold out of wieners at noon
and had to start up their sausage
machines to supply the demand.
fell before seven and
the homeward trek began. The
picnic was lots of fun and a fine
success.
One thing the occasion made
clear-a better entrance to the
park must be provided. The west
route is needlessly long and in wet
times leads through mud holes. 1t
also trespasses on ground that is
not under lease.
The route that leaves the high
way on the east side will be the
me eventually used but the des-
from the high grade is steep

rs lot used to it. A small amount

Rev. Tollefson From
Trip to West Coast

The Rev. o. R. A. Tollefson re-
turned Saturday morning from a
trip to Libby and the West coast
where he went to get relief from
his asthma. He got as much en-
joyment as possible out of the en-
forced trip visiting many friends
and relatives he had not seen for
years. At Tacoma a week ago
Sunday he occupied the pulpit in
the church where he was baptised,
and there was n man in his aud
fence who remembered the occas-
ion, while several remembered his
parents.
The following day Rev. Toilet
son went fishing and had the thrill
of landing two good sized salmon.

Killing of State Woman.


BIZ Untted Press
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 21.-Miss
Mildred Meyer, %, who lived on
Indiana state Road 81, near New
Albany, Ind, was murdered at 2::30
a. m. today on the front porch of
a house here.
When patrolmen arrived, a man
giving his name as George NIcCas-
land, Jeffersonville, Ind, said to be
a former prize fighter, who was the
girls companion, was holding her
in his arms. He was charged with
the murder after making denials to
police.
She was shot in the face when
her companion knocked on the door,
police were told. The bullet came
out at the back of her head. She
died on the way to a hospital.
Two other men, Donald Huck and
Irwin Heath, residents of the apart
ment, were slated as accessories.
Donald Huck is the son of Mrs.
Winnifred Sprague Mason Huck,
first congresSwoman from Illinois,
prominent socially in Chicago, and
a writer and pacifist.
Gorden Keith is the son of w. L.
Keith, an official of the Automatic
Canteen Company of Chicago, for
which both men acted as repre-
Sentatives in Kentucky and south
ern Indiana.
A quarrel between McCasland and
Miss Meyer over a "date" she had
with Huck was alleged by police to
have precipitated the trouble which
ended in the murder.
