Big Crowd
At Labor Day
Celebration
Boomers Ferry Wins Both
Ball Games-Last One
Was Close Race.
ADDRESS GIVEN BY
ATTORNEY MAIDEN

Labor Day celebration in Libby.
sponsored by the Carpenters and
Joiners' union, began on Sunday with
a ball game between the Libby Old
Timers and the Bonners Ferry team
The result was an overwhelming de-
feat for the Old Timers, the tally sheet
showing II to score against them
when the game closed.
The Old Timers furnished an ex-
cellent example of that old adape
about the spirit being willing but the
flesh weak. They had plenty of will
to do, but the passing years and lack
OF practice put too heavy handicap
upon them. They all had been stars
in their day but things just wouldn't
click for them in the Sunday game.
They were able to score only two runs
IN the third inning and one run in
the ninth.
The Old Timers team was composed
OF w. WOLF. Goose1aw, Cameron, E.
WOLF, Burpee, Thompson, Hendrick-
son, Daugherty, ]. Mccarthy, all of
Libby, assisted by Horner, l.. C. Kens-
Ter and A. L. Kensler of Troy

Large crowds turned out Monday for
the sports in the morning and for the
speaking and the ball game in the
afternoon. Much interest was mani
tested in the athletic sports and the
complete result is given below
The afternoons program opened
with a parade down Mineral avenue
and to the ball grounds, lead by the
Libby band. R. B. Mace Of Trego had
been engaged as speaker of the day
but illness prevented him from filling
the engagement At the last moment,
Attorney B. F. Maiden Of Libby was
asked to step into the breach for that
part of the. program. This he did, he
being introduced by Newt Cutler of
the celebration committee.

the bottom of it, We then trailed this
appliance at the rear of power boat
in water infested with the daphnia.
That is how we gather the daphnia.
This work of securing a supply of
daphnia is being carried on at Alvord
lake, not far from Troy We have found
that the Lake is heavily impregnated
with these little water fleas. By trail
ing the wolfe appliance described above
through the water of that lake for
about 10 minutes we find that the gall
lon pail is entirely filled with mass
of daphnia. 1t is comparatively easy to
going to daphnia for a food supply, we
have discontinued entirely the use of
liver" said Phillips.
Mr.. Phillips said the question might
arise as to why there should be so
much interest in raising grayling fry
"Ihe answer to that is that the gray
ling are becoming a vanishing species"
said Phillips, "and it has been feared
that if some means were not found for
the artificial propagation of the fry,
the species would in fact become ex-
tinct. Now that the food problem has
been solved. grayling can be raised in
hatcheries the same as any other
species of fish and liberated into our
streams"
At the time Mr.. Phillips was APP
pointed state superintendent Of fish
cries and his removal thereafter to
Helena, the experiments had not pro-
crossed far enough so that he felt at
liberty to give out the results He now
feels there is no longer any question
but that he has found the long sought
for food for grayling fry Since 1eav-
ing Libby his experiments have been
continued in the local hatchery, under
his directions, by his successor, John
Sheehan, who has done faithful work
, in that connection, states Mr.. Phillips.

No Federal Building
For Libby At Present

County Relief Administrator Church

Murray which states that there will be
no new federal buildings in Montana
at present with the exception of one
at Great Falls and one at Missoula.

thought the matter would be again
taken up at the next session Of con-

School Opens
With Enrolment
OF About $50

In spite of the added seating placed
in the high school assembly, Principal
George Hayes finds that seats are al
a premium in his department. The
following enrolment is approximately
correct: Freshman SIS; sophomore, as;
junior, IS, senior, 40, with several
students still to enter.
The morning session has been cut
into three hour periods with the plan
in mind Of introducing a more intensi-
fled supervised study. All band and
orchestra has been scheduled in the
period Immediately after noon, which
will eliminate much inconvenience
that accompanied the after school prac-
tees. The longer class periods, COM
hnied with the music period, caused a
number of conflicts but they have all
been ironed out and school is now on
regular schedule.
The Junior High holds steady with
an enrolment of 146, divided as
follows: Eighth grade, 81; seventh, 81;

SCRAP BOOK
by L. l. Rogers
Contributed BY Mrs. L. I. S. Rogers

It's fifty years ago today since you
and were wed
With our romance and ambitions
for the many years ahead,
And we've had our fling at pleasures
and perchance a bit of pain
But the years we've shared together,
dear, were sunshine more than
rain.
Your waist-line's thickened up bit
but your eyes are still as blue
And the selfsame love we started
with through all these years
rings true.
Your cheeks are not so smooth as
then with here and there a line
a symbol of your many cares as
autographed by Time.
Your lips have lost their ruby tint,
your hair grown thin and gray
But we're still the same old pals
we were-This Golden Wedding
Day.
Your figures lost its girlish form.
your step has slowed down. too.
But this life's been worth the living
since l shared it all with you.
And I wouldn't change the silver in
your once brown hair so dear
For all the gold this universe might
garner up in years.
For that same smile fingers round
your lips as in the distant past

And I'm sure some angel fixed it
there so it would always last.
As l look across the vista Of those
well remembered years
can note the many blessings sent
to compensate our fears.
For when friends had lost their
faith in things and nothing left
but gloom
l knew that you'd be loyal till the
very crack of doom.
And whether we had. plenty of our
fare was scant and mean
You never once reminded me of
what l might have been
And when children came to bless
our home as treasures from
above Fl
You forgot your other pleasures just
to show them Mother love.
And you never seemed to notice or
regret the trials you had
Or the sacrifices you must make to
keep their young hearts glad
For when sorrows came a knock
ing or pleasures which they be,
You shared them fifty-fifty and stood
side by side with me.
So when God sends out our sum-
mons through those pearly gates
ajar,
May our spirits still united sail our
barque across the bar.
