Montana State University, Mis-

of the university, incorporating old
records, letters, photographs and the
"reminiscences of old-time alumni and

Mrs. Clapp was chosen for the

One of the records with which
Mrs. Clapp is working is the old

LOCOMOTIVES RUN
OVER BOHEMIAN
Score OF "a to 10 Upsets Dope
In State High School Foot
ball Of Class "a"

The Laurel Locomotives complete
ly upset the dope bucket for the
second straight week by laundering
over the mighty Gallatin Hawks last
Friday, "a to 10. The Laurel boys
took advantage of the breaks from
the opening whistle, and scored early
II the game after blocking a Boze-
man punt, by charging off tackle
from the five-yard line. From then
on the purple and gold huffed and
puffed and blew the Hawks all over
the field.
The line ripped holes in the visit
ors' forward wall almost at will
and marched over half the length
Of the field for two of their four
touchdowns, and on two other oc-
casions set up serious threats. Boze-
man failed to score until late in
the third period when a galloping
end run behind good interference
did the trick. Laurel had previously
increased the half-time score of IL
to 0 by six points when Jim Phillips
rushed in from left end to intercept
a lateral pass and raced 25 yards
to score.
With what looked to be a COM
Portable lead of "a to 6 in the fourth
the Gallatin Hawks took over
by intercepting two passes, one that
set up a touchdown, and the other
that went all the way to score, on
which they converted to come within
five points of winning. Laurel was
able to freeze the ball on their
line until time expired.
Although it was the major upset
the week in high school grid
games the Locomotives outplayed
the Bozeman team in every depart
ment, in rushing, for first downs,
passing and interruptions,
and particularly in rugged aggres-
Sive football, and except for the
after moments of the game never
vas the outcome in doubt.

telephone, Laird said. He has been
informed that a feminine voice calls
and asks questions about the
number of people in the family,
where the head of the family works,
and the family's total income. The
caller does not identify herself, but
sometimes states the information
is sought for educational" purposes
Laird said he thought the informa-
ton asked for would be an inform
ative or educational" nature for
some persons or concerns but has
nothing to do with the local schools
and is no part of the pending census
by the Commercial club.
The school census is being O n

DECISION ON SUCCETTI
LAND GOES TO FENTON

Judge George w. Padbury, Jr., /;
judge of the first judicial district
court who occupied the bench of the
thirteenth judicial district court at
Billings during the action of Pietro
A. Motif against G.. w. Fenton of
Laurel, recently rendered a decision
in favor of Fenton on all counts.
The case was tried from March 81
to April 4, 1916.
The action of Nottti challenged
the right of title of Fenton to farm
land and lots that had been decided
to Fenton by Angelo Succetti and
his brother Luigi Succetti before
their deaths. The Succetti brothers,
natives of Italy, were early residents
of the Laurel community. They
decided the property to Fenton in
April 1885.
In the recently signed findings of
fact and conclusions of law, Judge
Padbury held that Fenton did not
use undue influence with the Succetti
brothers, that the property was
worth $4,000 in 1885, that Fenton
had since owned the property, and
other persons had no right or
title to the property. Also that
had taken no wrongful adj
vantage of the mental condition or
understanding of the brothers, and
hat the brothers knew what they
we're doing. The judge held that
all food, clothing and other supplies
md necessities called for by the
contract had been furnished by Fen
on to the Succetti brothers during
he remainder of their lives.
The findings of fact and conclu-
ions of law at the close says "that
he defendant is entitled to have
md recover of the plaintiffs joint
y and severally his costs of suit
lerein laid out and expended"
The court action attracted much
ttention here, and several old-tim-
RS from a distance were summoned
o testify. !.

SENIOR, JUNIOR G. S.
TROOPS ARE FORMED
Bring Total To IL Troops Of
III Misunderstanding
Gift To Princess Beth

Three new Brownie troops and a
senior Girl Scout troop were organ
lied this fall to make IL troops
with a total of III girls enrolled,
ranging from the second through
the eleventh grade. All old and
new groups have begun the new
years work under the direction of
interested and capable leaders.
Badge projects, homemaking and
arts and crafts are under way at
the present time, with time out for
making plans for Halloween parties
in respective groups.
Troop 1 is sending by parcel post
a dainty white handkerchief and a
gift of money to Princess Elizabeth
of England for her wedding day.
Princess Elizabeth has always been
active member of Girl Guides
in England and still gives much of
her time and energy to the support
Of the organization, which is the
as the Girl Scouts in America.
The Laurel Girl Scout association,
which consists of officers of the as
ISOLATION, troop leaders and troop
committees, held its regular meet
ng Oct. 9 at the home of Mrs. NJ.

ng space for the sale, and parents

TELEPHONE MANNERS
ARE TOLD IN FILM

Courteous, efficient use of the
hold old customers, Laurel Kiwani-
ans learned Wednesday evening at
their weekly dinner meeting when r.
B. Packard, Laurel manager for
Mountain States Telephone & Te!e-
graph Co., presented a motion pic
ture illustrating right and wrong
uses of the instrument that is
now slightly more than so years
old and an intimate part of business
and social life. Packard was intro
duced by Willard Baldwin, the clubs
program chairman.
The picture first illustrated wrong
ways to use the phone: leaving the
receiver off the cradle for long per-
iods; talking while chewing gum,
smoking a pipe or cigarette; shout
ing; delaying to answer; and speak
ing angrily, discourteously or rough
ly.
The picture then showed at length
the right ways. Stressed was the
prompt response, made if possible
Immediately after the first ring, fol-
lowed by speaking directly into the
transmitter and identifying the place
of business and the person speaking.
Identification saves time, for the old
"Hello" is outmoded. A pleasant,
courteous voice makes a good i'm
preston on the customer calling, and
has often increased sales.
Recommended as an essential part
of the use of telephones is the plac-
ing of writing paper and pencils
near the instrument, for the making
of notes. This also prevents delay
at home or at the office while
searching for writing materials.
When a call cannot be completed
and it is necessary to call again
to finish the conversation or trans
action, the film recommended that
the number to call be carefully writ
ten down.
Considerable footage was given in
the film to the use of inter-office
phones, and courtesy and prompt
ness among employees.
Another point in telephone man
ners is to end the conversation be-
fore hanging up, preferably with a
THANK you" or Thanks for call
and then "Good bye" The
person at the other end of the line
knows by this that the talking is
ended and will not have the IN
experience of trying to con-
5inue to talk as a hung up receiver
clicks in his ear.
When trying to attract the at
IGNITION of the central operator, use
L slow up and down motion of the
not a rapid flutter.
Common sense and courtesy will {
to pleasant use of the
phone and the speedy completion ]
# calls. The film ended by saying, I
phone as you'd like to be phoned
{
Packard then answered a number
# questions regarding telephone t
ervice that were asked by the XII
