MURDER AND
HONEYMOON
At KEITH'S
Miss OliUer Has Leading
Role in Mystery.COmedy
of the Better Sort.

Since Edna May Oliver can, in the
eyes of this department, do no wrong,
1t is not possible to say whether
Murder on Honeymoon" now play
ing at Keith's, is first rate, second rate
or no account at all. 1t has Miss
Oliver, and that should be enough
for anybody.
Miss Oliver, ever since she and
Mary Boland romped around the stage
with Raymond CUBAN (Gene Ray
mondJ in Cradle Snatchers" on
Broadway, has gone her way, looking
for all the world as though she, had
been wrung through a ringer and
steadily becoming more and more the
salt Of the earth. Her success has not
come from the rouge pot, but from a
healthy inclination to be herself-and
II by now you are not acquainted with
her herring look and the way she
trundleS herself about the screen, a
visit to Keith's this week will teach
you what you should undoubtedly
know.
Murder on Honeymoon" is not
~ eAAy n flIdl
to screen literature, but it's the sort
of Saturday night fare that sits well
after pudding. 1t is amusing, some
times exciting, and ends up practi-
cally nowhere. There's a murder in
an airplane, couple of other muir
ders, Jimmie Gleason as Miss divers
crony-in-crime and cast that seems
enlinentlV suited to its bIlSinpSS
A slight sort of business and you
won't mind seeing it at all, particu-
larry since Miss divers name is
Hildegarde and she prances around
as a female Sherlock Holmes hap
PLY poking her nose in other peo-
pies business.
The manager bet US. too, that we
couldn't guess the murderer. He got
his cigar-or rather, he'll get it.

Labor Conditions AT
Fort Peck Dam Verv
Bad O'Byrne Says

Commissioner Of Labor Ed o.
Byrne of Butte in his recent trip
of investigation of labor conditions
in Glasgow, Havre and Great Falls
reported on his return that among
contractors on the Fort Peck dam
project there was a general incli-
nation to disregard regulations of
the Montana State Laws. He took
the subject up in a letter sent to
Miss Francis Perkins, Secretary of
Labor, and directly with Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
Secretary O'Byrne's formal COM
plant has received prompt atten-
ton at Washington. An Associat-
ed Press dispatch sent from there
Tuesday July 80 states that Sen
ators Wheeler and Murray will
take up Immediately with the la
Dor department and the war de-
partment the complaints filed by
Commissioner O'Byrne. The Fort
Peck work is under the supervision
of the army engineering depart
ment.
The dispatches quotes Senator
Wheeler as saying that he will ask
for prompt action. It quotes Sem
ator Murray as saying that COM
plants have been coming in for
some time and that he is convin-
ced O'Byrne's statements are cor
rect and should be investigated.
One Of the subjects in particular
that was vigorously objected to by
Commissioner O'Byrne in his let
| ter was the regulation requiring

ment.
Commissioner O'Byrne is this
week making a further investiga-
ton of labor conditions in Butte,
Missoula, Kalispell and Dillon. He
has already received from owners
of large stores in Great Falls and
Havre assurances that the laws re-
garding the employment of women,
and especially those requiring the
firms to provide seats for women
employees for time when they are
not in actual service on duty, are
being complied with.

Convict Back to Peni-

New York - Robert Green alias
Thomas Walker, Hearst feature
writer, is going to have plenty of
time to! write during the next six
and half years.

called himself when he wrote a
series of articles for the Hearst

ions in the Soviet Union-is head
ed back to the Colorado state pen
itentiary from which he escaped
several years ago. He had been
sentenced to an 8-year term for
forgery.
Walker was arrested and con-
victed recently in New York for
classifying passport statements but
sentence was suspended by Fed
eral Judge Caffey so that the Col
oradO officers could take their
man.
Hearst bumped into Walker in
Europe, it has been revealed, and
made the deal whereby Walker
was to deliver the famine ctories
over to the Hearst organization il
New York City. The articles
brought much criticism from those
who knew the facts and his state,
ments have been proved false.

RUSTED GRAIN
SAFE FOR FEED

Hay or straw from rusted wheat;
barley or oats is not injurious to
livestock except that the dust from
rust may possibly irritate the mas
al passages and lungs. If the hay
or straw is very rusty it should be
sprinkled before being fed to live
stock, or little may be fed along
with other bright clean hays.
The above is the answer to a
question asked by many farmers
at this time according to M. ].
Peterson, Extension agent.
Feed value of rusted hay or
straw varies depending on the
stage of maturity of plant when
first affected, the development of
the rust, time of cutting etc. Some
rusted hays and straws are rel
ished as we'll as bright, clean hays
and straws in other cases they are
less palatable and lower in feed
value.

these neighbors have taken up Sc
veral collections to buy, and has
been done without charge, other
than the acceptance of an occas-
sional gratuity which have aggre-
gated about enough to defray the
cost Of materials used.
Failing to stop Mr.. Stewards
charitable practices by threats and
other forms of intimidations the
State Dental Board sent a stool
pigeon by the name of King to the
Stewart home. Stool pigeon King,
an alien now on the governmental
police force at Fort Peck dam, Wis
tied the Stewart home with a
small daughter and explained that
his child had a severe toothache
and he was without funds to have
the tooth extracted.
Mr.. Stewart extracted two teeth
and refused pay for his services.
Stool pigeon King thereupon left
fifty cents on a table and departed.
Four days later Mr.. Stewart was
arrested for practicing without a
license and was subsequently
brought to trial in Lewistown. Of
ficials of the Dental Board were
present and special counsel Judge
E. K. Cheadle was employed to as
sist the County Attorney in prose
cution.
Defense of Mr.. Stewart was ar
ranged by the Holiday Association
of Montana. Attorney James F.
OConnor Of Livingston, whose ser
vices were rendered without charge
and Attorney Robinson of Lewis
town, appointed by the court, con-
Quoted the defense.
In a court house packed with
farmers and workers the trial was
conducted before Judge Stanley E
Felt, and lasted two days. Amidst
applause such as is seldom heard
at a criminal trial Mr.. Stewart was
acquitted by unanimous vote Of the
jury. The Holiday Association had
thwarted another persecution.

IT'S ALL THE SAME

Washington, Aug. 4. - Those
who are in the know in and about
the capitol have ceased to take all
the fuss and furore now being raj
sed by politicians anent the utility
issue with much seriousness. The
battle after all is merely one Of
the interminable conflicts between
ing and ruling class to see who will
various small factions of the own
annex the profits and WELD the
political and economic power.
To the great toiling and produs-
ing mass of the country it makes
absolutely no difference whether
the control and pap that flow from
ownership Of the nations power re-
sources go to fifty men who office
on Wall Street or is divided amonm
five thousand men scattered over
the country but playing the Wall
Street game.
In the days of Theodore Roose-
velt, the Standard Oil monopoly
was legally broken up into twenty
nine seperate companies. The John
d. Rockefeller combine still fixes
the price of gasoline and the plain
people of America still pay the
tolls thus fixed. AS an item. Of
amusement the much advertised
utility fight is possibly worth wat
ching. AS a reform designed to
bring larger share Of bread and
butter to starving, threadbare mil
lions, the battle is all smoke and

WALDRON HOODWINKED
HOLIDAY COMMITTEE

The matter was afterwards dis
cussed by the Holiday Committee
and Manager Waldron, and Wal
dron left the committee with the
impression that nothing more
would be done in the matter, which
was done to throw the Holiday
Committee off its guard, so that
Sheriff Lowe could make his swoop
and get the outfit before the Hol-
iday committee could get the news
and stop it. That was the reason
that Thorpe was held a prisoner
in his own home by the two arm
ed deputies.
John Thorpe and his wife are
pioneers in the Culbertson COM
munity, where they are highly re-
spected among their neighbors as
honest, thrifty, industrial farmers.
They took the homestead where
they live, and which they lost thru
foreclosure, in the early days when
the CuIbertson community was set
tied, when they were young people.
Here they raised and educated
their family. After they lost title
to the old homestead, they rented
it, and with the children gone,
worked it the best they could,
About two or three weeks ago,
Mrs. Thorpe went to a hospital at
Minot N. D., where she is slowly
dying with a cancer and where the
respected old lady has gone blind.
John Thorpe is at the farm now
alone. This is the end of the trail
for these old people. The "shy-
locks" have cleaned them out, and

Of this robbery and the sheriff
