DANGER LIGHTS
RAILROAD DRAMA
SPECTACULAR PICTURE PART
LIZ FILMED AT MILES
CITY AND NEAR

When it ONE to the greatest
distance travelled within a given
space of time, the record is unhes-
itatingly claimed by Radio Pic
lures which recently filmed the
spectacular railroad drama, Dan
ger Lights, which comes to the
Liberty on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, February 4, 5 and 6.
More than the distance around
the equator, $1,000 miles were trav-
eled by the company with three
special trains during the two
months the troupe was on location
filming scenes with Louis VOL
helm, Robert Montgomery and Jean
Arthur.
Twelve states were crossed man
y times by the actors and technic-
ians. They experienced every kind
of weather and saw and photo
graphed every type of scenery in
America. California. Nevada, u
tab, Idaho, Montana, Soutn DaRo-
ia, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois,,
Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming saw
the company as it was piling UP
mileage and hundreds Of thousands
of feet of film.
Parts of the picture were filmed
at Miles City and vicinity and the
company was stationed there for
a number of days, which created
a great deal of interest to those
living in that section and makes the
film more interesting to those who
will see the picture this week at
the Liberty.
The company travelled and lived
most of the time on a ten-car spec
ial train. Two other trains were
used for transporting equipment.

% with department and bureau Of

In the words off n official:
ITO show you what we think of
the stockmen up there, we'll tear
up these stipulations and put you
on your honor to cooperate with
the bureau in this matter of range
control"
Facts showing cost to the stock
men of the leasing rates received
consideration
The above report of the recent
conference was brought to Havre
by Max P. Kuhr who accompanied
a delegation of stockmen to Wash
ington to present objections to the
new leasing rates and rules and
regulations as to grazing which
were last summer announced by the
Indian bureau.
Through cooperation of Cong
ressman Scott Leavitt, Joseph M
Dixon, assistant secretary Of the
interior, and G j. Rhoads, commits
sioner of Indian affairs and others
in his department, Mr.. Kuhr states
that the stockmen left Washington,
standing of problems of the depart
ment, at the same time leaving
with the department a better con-
ception of the stockmen's difficult
ties.
Stockmen interested in leasing
provisions as to Indian lands, who
made the trip to Washington were

ONCE MORE THE FLU
EPIDEMIC Is WITH us

Good morning, have you a little
flu in your family? Yes, would
probably be the answer in more
than half the families in town.
About 80 per cent of the school
students are missing from their
seats. Children above the age of
IL are the chief sufferers. Plenty
of adults are getting vacations, too.
In many cases the stuff takes the
form of a hard head cold, persis-
tant cough and stomach disorders.
No serious cases have been report
ed. If it gets you, just get mo. II,
go to bed, and clean out, clean
up and keep clean"
Why this affliction should fol
low in the wake of the depression
is something for Einstein OF Bill
Murray to figure out. Some lay
it to Hoover, and some physi-
clans claim a cure will be found
about next November.

ED KREBSBACH HAS
BIRTHDAY PARTY

Ed Krebsbach had the pleasant
experience of talking with rela,
tives al distant points by radio
and telephone early Sunday morn
ing. He had written relatives at
Austin and Minneapolis, MINI. and
Reeder, N. OAK, telling them that
he would be on the air at the
time of the Sunday morning Frol-
ic of KICK just after midnight,
and for them to call him if they
picked up the program. Long dis
at all of these places, and when
the telephone messages came in,
the telephone was connected with
the mike in such a way that all
Of the relatives listening could hear
both sides of the conversation
which took place. Paul Krebsbach,
at Vida, was the only branch Of
the family not represented in the
conversation.
The occasion was MI. Krebs-
bach's birthday, and the broadcast
at the studio was the conclusion
of a very enjoyable party. Mrs.
Krebsbach had invited in a num-
Der of friends to help celebrate.
The guests came in costume, which
added to the fun of the evening.
Bridge was the entertainment,
three tables being in play. w. c.
Johnson won head prize for the
men and Mrs. Louise GIFTS head
prize for the ladies. A. large birth
day cake was a feature of the de-
lightful lunch served by Mrs.
Krebsbach.

VISITORS

An item that escaped for a
couple of weeks was the BRIEF Wis
it of about 200 tourists who are
rarely seen in this region. They
were a flock of the strickingly and
beautifully marked Bohemian wax
wings, a bird about the size Of the
robin. Apparently some storm OF
wind current in the upper strata
had blown them out of their mi
gatory course as nobody recalls
seeing any here before. They are
a northern bird, however.

WRITES FRIENDLY LETTER
TO w. L. YOUNG

w. l.. Young, an active member
of the Montana Automobile asso-
citation, recently attended its an
nual business meeting at Helena.
Better roads and more tourist bust.
ness for Montana Is the special OBJ
j~ective of the M. A. A. The rapid
progress made in recent years with
the state highway system was re-
viewed at the meeting with much
satisfaction. Mr.. Young's valuable
cooperation with the state highway
and bridge program is recognized
by the leaders in this work all
over the state.
After his return home Mr.. Young
received the following letter Of ap-
probation that applies to this sec
ton of the state in general. The
letter dated at Helena, Jan. %,
says:
Secrotary's Letter
Dear Mr.. Young:
We are enclosing to you a typed
copy Of the resolution you were
so t%hanghtful as to introduce and
which was adopted at the recent
annual meeting of directors of the
Montana Automobile Association.
The Young Resolution
BE 1T RESOLVED1that the
Montana Automobile 3ooaia-
ton should note with pleasure
the increased travel entering
Montana from many Canadian
points and should endeavor to
encourage this welcome tenden-
cy on the part of our neigh
bors from the north. That un-
necessary restraint and delay
by customs officials at points
of entry be deplored, and that
our border towns be encourae-
ed to extend to these northern
visitors a hearty welcome to
Montana.
The completion within a few
years of the federal aid roads
through your portion of the state
connecting with important Cana
dian highways, cannot but produce
for your section and for all Mon
tana, a greatly increased Canadian
travel. More and more as our mile
age of Federal Aid highways is
being completed throughout the
various districts of the state, +
our people approaching the efforts
of the Montana Automobile asso-
citation in supporting our highway
program. 1t will be recalled that
when this association undertook
to initiate this movement, the State
Highway commission was receiv-
for state highway expenditures,
only fifteen percent of a two cent
gas tax. Today they are receiving
One hundred percent of a five cent
less deductions necessitated by
'ebates to farmers and others. Our
success in this resulted during 1881
n the construction of some six
hundred miles of new Federal
'oads in Montana placing Montana
second among the list of states in
highway construction. Further, this
to our highway system
vas had at a cost much below the
