Tricks of the Camera

How does it happen that a man, actually smaller, looks bigger on the screen than his adversary? It's oil, partly, says Parry, oil that makes the muscles stand out pho- tographically. and the rest is chest development-and, of course, cam era trickery.
 For once the movies failed to bite when best-selling novel was offered as bait by a naughty auth or. The scornful literatus de- manded $6O,000 for his work, which even movie executives, usually im- pressed by sales reports, could see would make only 8 fair picture. The author, refusing to comprom- ise, hied himself and his book to England for celluloid embalming.
 And the studio is just as happy.

Notices CrOlUd MOrie Stunt Men; They Will Risk Their
 Lipes for Any Old Price

the price is down almost to the ground"
 Parry and other leading stunt men advocate licensing of their profession, not only to maintain standards of pay, but to safeguard the desperate from their own fol- ly. The times, however, veto the idea. .s =r
 Incidentally, from Parry I learn ed few odd facts about movie prize fights. Tn Winner Take All'' you'll see James Cagney fighting for the title" with Parry, and Parry will appear to be the bigger of the two. The first day they worked on the fight scenes Parry weighed in at l3e and Cagney l52. CThe second day Parry was the same. but Cagney had lost eight 'pounds) So they really work, these movie fighters.

RED CROSS FEED
TO ARRIVE SOON
COUNTY CHAIRMAN OUTLINES
PLAN FOR DlSTRIBU-
TING WHEAT

information comes from the
county Red Cross headquarters
here advising that the follow
ing points in Roosevelt county
will be distributing points for the
stock feed which has been turned
over TO the Red Cross for distri-
button: Froid, McCabe, Bainville,
Culbertson, Brockton. Poplar and
Wolf Point.
One carload of feed has been re
leased for each of these points and
should arrive within a week. This
feed is in the form of ground
wheat and ONE sacked in one
hundred pound burlap sacks. The
first carloads to arrive will neces-
sarily be of small capacity, and, in
order that all may get a portion,
the amount allotted to each appli-
cant will not be very large.
o. C. Johnson, chairman of the
county Red Cross, says that those
who are not already receiving Red
Cross aid but who desire any of
this stock feed, will be required
to go to their nearest Red Cross
committee and fill out an applica-
ton blank or QUESTIONABLE, being
careful to list all livestock and the
and kind of feed on hand,
we'll as all additional informa-
ton called for by the QUESTIONABLE.
AS this application will need the
approval of the central committee
at Wolf Point before delivery can
be made, it will greatly simplify
and facilitate matters if applica-
tons are made as o o IS possible.
Government flour will also be
available, and the same procedure
must be followed.
Seed potatoes will also be avail
able to Red Cross beneficiaries as
will garden seeds. The potatoes
should reach the county about
April 10th or 18th and the garden
seeds in ample time for planting.
Distributing points for the potatoes
will be Froid, C%udbertson, Poplar
md Wolf Point. and garden seeds
will be distributed by the differ
mt district committees.

MANAGER PLAN
FOR COUNTIES

A recent issue of The Valley
Tribune, published at Bainville by
A. S. Hier, carried the following
article dealing with the county
manager plan of running county
business. 1t is reprinted here with
out comment for the information
it contains. The law providing for
such a method was was passed by
the last legislature and is worthy
of consideration regardless of what
conclusion might be reached.
The Tribune's article says:
while we do not know exactly
just how this manager form of go
vernment would work out, we be-
lieve that it is worthy of a trial and
see no reason why it should not
prove a success. OF course, we fully
realize that it's suggestion for adop-
ton in Roosevelt county may not
meet with the approval of politicians
officeholders and ofice-seekers, and
it is with considerable temerity

Lawns, trees and shrubbery should
be planted along the and
in the parks by the city.
Much could be done to brighten
the streets which would cost the
private individual very little. The
lamp posts along the streets need
repairing, cleaning, and new light
bulbs. Each person should cut the
weeks from along the curb and
burn them, and the persons living
near vacant lots should not pile
their refuse upon these lots, but
keep them clean as it adds much
to the value of their own property.
The trees in the park should be
pruned. Holes in the sidewalks

and private buildings would
be much improved if they were

they would be safer.

INCOME COUNTY HOMESTEADERS'
MAMMOTH HERD DIST. PETITION
S { Elk CROP PROTECTION
THROUGH PROVISION
OF LAWS

Monster petitions praying for
the creation of herd districts will
be presented to the McCone county
commissioners at Circle on Mon
day, April 4. Petitions that fill a
great number of pages hold the
signatures of the owners or lessees
of from go to 70 percent of the
land in seven or more townships
besides several parts of townships.
One petition is for a general herd
district and one is for a horse herd
district. The petitions will be pre-
scented by Fl. E. Prall, secretary of
the farmers welfare organization
formed last Fall.
1t has been a tremendous task
to cover the territory, get the cor
rect land descriptions, e the set
tiers and get their signatures. Mr..
Prall has done a large portion Of
the work, travelling horseback, but
has had several willing assistants.
The small ranchers and farmers
are virtually unanimous for the es-
adjustment of herd districts.
The real issue is a struggle for
existence on the part of the set
tiers against the Entertainments of
wealthy and powerful livestock in
terests. Under the present open
range conditions crops must be
fenced and even then are frequent
ly damaged by range stock. And
there is small chance of redress.
With herd districts established
stock must be kept within fences
or herded on land on which the
have rights.
The law gives the county board
no alternative in the matter Of
granting legally drawn and suffi-
signed petitions.

FARMER WELCOMES THE
COOPERATIVE OIL co.

In a letter to The Herald, H. ".
Johnson, a Sand Greek farmer, ex-
presses his satisfaction at the or
ganization of the Farmers Union
Oil company at Wolf Point. In his
letter, for which he requests pub
LEGATION, Mr.. Johnson says:
"The way it looks from the out
side, the new Farmers Union CO.
operative oil company at Wolf
Point is no doubt the largest CO.
operative institution ever started
in this vicinity, being capitalized
at $4,000, and in a few years time
should be a pride to that little
town. Many Wolf Pint people, per
haps, cannot see it now.
ut is certain this new cooper
alive will save many thousands of
dollars to its patrons each year.
And the greater portion of these
savings naturally will be spent in
the home town.
1T appears that the stockholders
used very good judgment in select
ing the board of directors. A more
progressive and and loyal coopera-
tive board would be hard to pick.
With a reliable, experienced oil
man like Mr.. Burnison as mana
ger, the new corporation has every
chance of success"

COUNTY GOPHER POISON
AT MONARCH LUMBERCO.

Getting the gopher before he
raises a family has long been rec
ognized as the keynote in gopher
control. Killing the gopher early
means maximum results for the
expense and effort expended. With
county mixed gopher poison now
available at every town in the
county the control of gophers
should start at once on every farm.
Poison sold by Roosevelt county
has been prepared this year with
nor than the usual care The best
Montana oats available were pur-
chased last fall and were used for
the 1882 poison. Mixing was done
by experienced operators and has
been done according to the instruct
ions of the U. S. Bureau of Rodent
Control.
Purchasers of county poison will
find that larger bags than usual
are available this year at the stan
dard price of S1.00 due to the low
cost Of material.
Gopher poison is now on sale at
the Monarch Lumber Co. Wolf
Point; Equity Elevator at Poplar;
Monarch Lumber Co, Brochton;
Elevator at McCabe; H.
A. McCracken, Bainville, and the
Extension office at Gull
bertson.

STRANGE PHENOMENON
FROM THE BISHOP RANCH

Dad Bishop and his son, down
Hamblin way, better watch their
step when they are culling out
hens with which to make a sunday
stew. They might execute one OF
rare value. They and you may be-
lieve it or not but in the flock on
the Bishop ranch is a biddy that
can drop an egg only a couple OF
sizes down from a foot ball. More
than that it has the address OF
the person it was ordered ror
blown right in the shell, all ready
to send by Bob S~teffensen's par
eel post. Either this wise old hen
or one of her flapper daughters
can do the same stunt with an
egg so Scotch in size a self re
specting quail would not own IL.
A box of eggs recently received
from the. Bishop hen ranch contain
ed two of these miraculous specl-
mems, II exactly three times the
size of the other, by weight. one
according to the inscriptions, a
been laid for c. l.. Marshalfs Eas-
ter and the other for Mrs. Mar
shall's Easter.
Like as not that rascally Old
Dad has been putting in the winter

tricks. What makes us suspect this
is that the stingy little egg was
addressed to G.. l..
