INDIAN DEPT
OFFICIAL HERE
FIRST ASSISTANT TO COM
MISSIONER RHOADS, J.. H.
SCATTERGOOD

Carrying out an itinerary plan
ned for him by the FIT Peck Agency,
J. Henry Scattergood, first assist
ant to Indian Commissioner Rhoads,
was the guest of honor Tuesday
evening at a supper at the Sherman
attended by club members, bust
nessmen and representatives of the
agency staff.
The assistant commissioner when
called upon gave a highly interest
ing talk on various phases of the
constantly recurring Indian prob
lens. He contrasted the attitude
of the white people of a century
ago toward the Indians with the
present day relations of the two
races. He also compared the In
dams of today with those of just
a few decades ago. He though the
Indian problem was slowly working
ITSELF out. The Indian must be
trained to look out for himself.
The speaker counseled fairness,
patience and federation on the part
of the whites. He discussed, brief
ly, certain range problems and the
proposed irrigation development on
the Missouri. He said some serious
mistakes had been made in expen-
ditures on small projects, that
some times lacked water, when
expenditures should all have been
made river projects for which there
is always water.
After the meeting at the Sher-
man MIR. ~Scattergood went to the
Wolf Point sub-agency to talk with
a number of Indians who had
gathered and wished to see him.

Thos. r. Forbes Has
Car Accident Wednesday

While driving home from the
east end of the county Wednesday
afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. R.
Forbes had a car accident which
might have been more serious than
lit was. They were about eight
miles from Culbertson when a
blowout occurred and the a start
ed to skid. The car turned over
twice, end over end and landed in
the ditch. Mrs. Forbes sustained
some minor cuts and bruises, and
had the skin scraped off n side
OF her face, but Mr.. Forbes es-
capped with nothing worse than a
severe shaking up. The car was
towed to Culbertson, and although
the front of it was nor or less
dented up, he was able to drive it
home that same evening.

ADVERTISING EXPERT
RUNS into HARD LUCK

A special issue advertising man
operated in Wolf Point this week.
1t was a real clever scheme but
luck broke against him. He rented
a ROOF in private home in Wolf
Point convenient to Main street.
A. w. Huxsol, owner of the Hulk
sol Drug, whose shrewdness spoil
ed the game for the operator, de-
scribed, to the reporter. the sys-
tenn as it was worked on him. Fol
lowing a phone call, the voice at
the other end advised Mr.. raxsol
that the Poplar Standard was
speaking. The Standard was get
ting out special edition. this week.
They wanted to give the Huxsol
store a fine writeup-a three-col-
m ad, of course there would have
to be a charge, the big issue had
to be financed. The well written
boost was read over the phone; it
was good. Mr.. Huxsol thought if
the Standard wanted to advertise
his business in Poplar, in a special
edition, he could hardly afford to
pass up the chance, so he said go
ahead and put it in. The voice said
the price would be $3.50. A sim
liar game appears to have been
worked with ten other concerns or
individuals, but most of the prices
were lower than that quoted to
Mr.. Huxsol.
The evening of the day he talked
to "The Standard" Mr.. Huxsol hap
pened to have business in Poplar
and went over to The Standard
office. In the course Of converse
ion he referred to the their phone
conversation of the afternoon. They

SANITATION
AND THE POOL

Although it's two outstanding
champions, Mrs. ]. R. Burgess and
Mrs. F. H. Livingston, are out OF
town for a time, the pool project
will be steadily pushed by the man
aging committee-Scott Hart, G.
E. Howe, M. B. Listerud, and G.
P. Swedberg. Plans and finances
are both growing.
Some people have conceived a
strange prejudice that bathing
pools are not sanitary. If some are
not it is because they are neglect
ed, not because they need to be I'M
sanitary. Hundreds upon hundreds
of towns and cities, large and small
have municipal or public bathing
pools that are not considered I'M
sanitary and do not in any way
prove to be. On the contrary they
are virtually all of them far more
safe and clearly than many of the
old swimming holes we used as
boys; more SO than the ones our
children use. Pools drained and
scrubbed and refilled at intervals.
They are in charge of persons who
have authority to keep objection
able people out of them.
The Wolf Point pool win be very
exceptionally fortunate in its water
supply with a flowing well of
cleansing soft water that comes
the ground at a fairly warm
temperature. If desired the water
in the pool can be changing at all
times; or it a be drained and
Tiled at quite frequent intervals.
There is just simply nothing to
he arguments or prejudice Of a
'ew based on fears of lack of san
tation in a properly managed pool.
The lack of a pool makes for habits
md conditions far more unsanitary.

CONVENTION HIGH SPOTS

CONVENTION HIGH SPOTS
The democratic convention is in
full swing in Chicago, but at the
time this is written Thursday
night they are still several hours
away from taking the first ballot
for presidential nominee. Names
placed in nomination are Franklin
d. Roosevelt of New York, John
Nance Garner of Texas, Alfred E..
Smith of New York, former gov
ernor Harry Flood Byrd of Virgin
ia, Melvin Traitor of Illinois, AL
bert E. Richie of Maryland, form
err senator Jim" Reed of Missouri,
Governor Murray of Oklahoma and
Governor George White of Ohio.
The real contest of the w
ton is between the Roosevelt and
the anti-Roosevelt forces. Roose-
welt has not enough pledged votes
to assure his nomination on the
first ballot, although some of his
supporters are predicting that he
will win on the first ballot. 1t is
believed that Alfred r. Smith does
not expect to get the nomination
hu. 6 III the running to keep Roose-
welt from getting it. At the open
ing of the convention an effort
was made to do away with the
two-thirds vote necessary for a
choice, but Roosevelt wired his fol
lowers not to attempt to force a
vote on this, so the two-thirds
rule, which has been in effect for
a century in the democratic party,
still holds, and it is this rule which
may bring about a deadlock be-
tween the Roosevelt and Smith
forces, which will result in the
nomination of any one of the 9th
er candidates.
The Roosevelt forces scored two
triumphs in the early part Of the
convention. The first was when it
voted to seat Huey Longs hand
picked delegation from Louisiana,
in preference to a convention pick
ed group from that state. Longs
delegates were pledged to Roose-
yelt. The second came when Sen
ltor Thomas ]. Walsh of Montana,
Roosevelt supporter, was elected
permanent chairman, winning over
rouett Shouse Of the anti-Roose-
-elt forces. In neither case was
he vote sufficient to forecast a
Roosevelt majority when it comes
0 balloting. When Walsh was
lected chairman, he lacked more
han 100 votes of the no neces
airy to elect a presidential nomi-
zee. However when it came to bal
on remaining in session un-
il a ballot was reached, there were
nore than 500 votes for continuing,
ldicating Roosevelt strength.
The platform adopted is the
hortest of modern times, being a
40O-word outline Of democratic
olicies. The platform has a re-
cal or resubmission plank, and
dvocates anti-cancellation of war
ebts. Other planks are a rs per
emit cut in federal expenditures
18th a balanced budget, a competi-
tariff for revenue. A few OF
le planks are similar to some in
lie republican platform, while
differ widely.

to determine "at the right time" whether, in fact, the statute of Limitations applied to the case.
 Occasionally, as the hearing pro- gressed, Judge Underwood de- anded that spectators, "all," be seated. He frequently interrupted counsel to ask pointed questions. Through the high arched windows 6f the courtroom knots of distant spectators could be seen massed in windows of adjacent office build- ings - peering in at Capone, who faced them.
 Guarded more heavily than he has been at any time in his spec tacular career, the one-time over- lord of Chicago gangland found a new tribute to his importance in the elaborate preparations that had been made by government authorities for the brief interlude in his Imprisonment.
 From the gloomy, rambling pris- on on the outskirts of Atlanta, Capone had to be transferred to the busy downtown section, for a hearing on his application for a writ Of habeas corpus, to be heard by Judge E. Marvin Underwood.
 An elaborate plan for protecting the notorious prisoner had been worked out by U. S. Marshal Louis H. Crawford, responsible for Ca- pone while he makes his trip to town. Beside a heavy guard to travel with Capone there were the deputy marshals around the fed- eral building and inside.

 Assistant United States Attorney General A. G. Y0ungquist asked the court to dismiss Capone's ap- plication on the grounds of lack of legal sufficiency. He came here from Washington to take care of the governments case.
 He was answered for Capone by William E. Leahy of Washing ton. who charged the government with failure to do exactly what the government had charged Ca- pone with failure to do, namely, swing into the proper legal action
