"The best show we have ever
put on. Everything is stacking up

That was Manager Jim Terry's
answer to the reporters question,
How is Stampede coming on,
Jim?
Then he went on to tell why he
thought so. There will be a great
bunch of performers, riders, ropers,
bulldoggers and entertainers. The
Belle Fourche and Miles City ro-
deos are just over and Wolf Point

regular gang are already on the

STREETS OILED
OVER 9 BLOCKS
BEGINNING MADE ON MAIN
AND OTHER BUSINESS
AVENUES

Wolf Point has a beginning to-
ward oiled streets. The city bought
a carload of crude oil, specially
treated for use on roads and. with
the cooperation of the state high
way crew, it was spread on Main
and Anaconda streets and some on
First avenue and Sixth avenue.
The oiled streets begin at the
state highway in front of the Lis
terud filling station, reach entire
ly around the Memorial park,
through Main street to Sixth aven-
ne, then north to the grade cross
ing. The state crew donated the
use of the big power oiler, and the
city paid the wages of the men. The
sections to be oiled. which had
been put in fine condition by the
big blade, were wired off to stop
traffic.
Only the one coat will be ap-
piled now, but it is hoped that the
work a be finished next year with
more and heavier oil and a coat
ing of screened gravel.
The city authorities are to be
congratulated on getting this i'm
provement begun. 1t is a long step
toward a greatly needed improve
ment and will take care of the
dust, it is believed, for the present
season.

to have spent a great deal of money
on him. Letters written by Daw-

democratic nominees for president
and vice-president chosen at the
Chicago convention last week
Roosevelt's nomination came Fri
day evening on the fourth ballot,
when VIM. G. McAdoo of Californ-
ia cast CALIFORNIA; A votes, which
had previously gone to Garner, for
Roosevelt, thus starting a landslide
for the successful candidate. Gar
ner in the meantime had released
the Texas delegation whose votes
went to Roosevelt also. When it
came to voting for vice president,
Garner was nominated by acclama-
ton. Governor Roosevelt received
945 out of 1135 votes on the final
ballot.
That Franklin D. Roosevelt is
not a man to be governed by ira
ditions that have lost their signi-
ficance, was demonstrated by the
fact that instead of waiting several
weeks for formal notification of
his nomination, he chartered a tri-
motored airplane and, with Mrs.
Roosevelt and ather members of
his family, flew to Chicago where
he addressed the convention, thank
ing them for the nomination and
outlining his policies. Senator
Thomas ]. Walsh, permanent chair
man of the convention, notified
Roosevelt of his nomination, and

~ 0f fho ChTT6

DECEMBEp the 25th is the Day
~ of the Child.
1t is upon this day Of days that
countless men and women and
little ones barely able to speak
their language utter the great re-
joicing: For unto us Il Child is
born, unto us a Son is given!
Even those who hold creeds in
which there is no Christmas feel
the splendor of that cry. and those
who have no formal creed at all
still know there is one of the 365
portions of the year which is es-
sentially the Day of the Child.
1t is the day when even the most
unsentimental adult. long since con-

good gifts may have been received.

hearts can feel.
On this day the austere scientist
who has almost quit believing in
the very laws of astronomy which
recently seemed so sure and stable,
but which now seem dissolving in
a mist Of relativity-this careful
professional skeptic becomes as
child himself. and considers it hard
indeed if he cannot believe in San
ia Claus, bearded fairy godfather
of the children.
On this day even those who have
been the most careless feel like
saying over reverently that beauti-
ful prayer for wisdom in the rear
ing Of children:
Almighty God, heavenly Father,
who hast blessed us with the joy
and care of children; Give us light
and strength SO to train them, that
they may love whatsoever things
are true and pure and lovely and of
good report"
For on this Day Of the Child we
all remember that the most precious
gift we can bestow upon our chill

such tender and generous and
helpful emotions as today stir in
the breasts of all good men and
women.--SeattIe Post-Tntelligencer.
