Later in the summer, Miss Nagle announces, there will be a Harvest Festival for the benefit of the Red Cross work in the county. Mean while she urges all who have old clothes or shoes which can be spared ~to get them to her as she has many places where they can be used to ad vantage. The chapter secretary wishes to extend thanks to all who have assist ed the work of the organization and for the hearty co-operation that the Red Crosg and kinedred organizations \have -had from the general public.

MILDRED HARRIS LEADS CAST IN \A PRINCE THERE WAS” Thomas Meighan, Paramount star, is supported by Mildred Harris, for- m ef Weber star, in his new starring vehicle “A Prince There Was,” which •comes to the Royal theatre Sunday for two days. Mr. Meighan Puts over some strong •emotional acting in this screen ad aptation of .the famous. George M. Cohan stage ^ucoessi^-andv- Mildred Harris is a most capable leading woman. Mr. Meighan plays a rich •young idler and Miss Harris a young writer, who formerly lived in luxury, but with her father’s ruin and suicide Is forced to write for a meagre liv ing with poor success. Little Char lotte Jackson, in the role of the \boarding house drudge, goes to the rich man and asks him to “intercede” for the girl, which the rich man does, pretending to be an assistant maga zine editor and taking up quarters at the boarding house, where he soon falls in love with the girl. But a broker, also in love with the girl, makes it appear that the prince was the, man that caused her father’s financial ruin and also exposes the fact that he had to buy the magazine to get her stories printed. This causes an estrangement, which, how ever, is speedily patched up by the turn of circumstances and everybody is happy at the finish. Other players of note in the cast are. Nigel Barrie, Guy Oliver, Sylvia Ashton, Fred Huntly and Arthur Hill. \The picture was adapted by Walde- mar Young and directed by Tom 'Forman. In an interview with Dr. H. T. Rhoads, candidate for the nomina tion for state senator op the republi can ticket, this morning as to why he has not attended any of % e po litical meetings held throughout the county by Senator Larson, the doctor briefly, replied: ‘For the past month I have been busy, not only with my practice but with the various health clinics that have been held throughout the county and for this reason have not been able to attend any of the polit ical meetings held by Senator Larson and I also might mention that this is not my method of campaigning. If deemed advisable, will make a few political talks later as I do not feel justified in leaving my work to make a political tohr of Teton county at this time, as I feel the people know exactly where I stand. I wish to act in consonance with the belief that-I have long adhered to, a sincere de sire to safeguard the public on a con servative basis. I will state that the declaration on my filing petition and in my announcemnet exactly state my position to the voters of Teton county. As to a political tour of the county at this time, it is quite out of the question.” q HIGH PRICES IN LONDON WOOL MARKET According. to a telegram received Wednesday by H. H. Pigott, secretary of the Montana Wool Growers Assoc iation, wool auction sales in London had a large n’umber of bidders with competition strong and prices firm. This is a good indication of the world wide position of wool, reflecting it self in t.he high prices demanded by t.hfe growers in Montana.

Bee line, and it is anticipated the work will be done under the direction of the high way commission.

FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF CHOTEAU 5 - No Joy Riding on his Side o f the Fence OHIO WELL IS H The Ohio Well which is located about 1000 feet south of the Sunburst Oil and Gas Company’s well kb- One, came in Thursday afetrnoon. As the hole was put down so near the other well and oil was not discovered at the expected depth, a_ feeling of pes simism prevailed. Oil\ was expected at a depth less than that of the Sun burst well, which is 1559 feet. The Ohio was supposed to reach it at 1500 feet. This was passed. The 1550 foot mark was passed and still no production. The liquid gold was finally reached at- a dpth of approx imately 1670 feet. This well is the third one to go down in Toole county and as yet no dry holes’ have been struck. Rigs by the score are moving' into:1 the field.. FirqT lookouts on- duty on the mountain peaks ¡of Montana and nor thern Idaho will be required to study the behavior and results of lightning storms throughout the summer. “A detailed report on each storm which occurs will be made by the men on duty,” says District Frorester Fred Morrell, with headquarters at Missoula, Montana. “We consider the collection of this data to be very im portant, as it will enable us to pre dict more accurately a (short time in advance the time when these storms may be expected, and the course that they will probably take through the forest.” The final study of these records will be made by Forest Examiner H. T. Gisborne, at present located at the Priest River Experiment Station in Northern Idoho. Mr. Gisborne has recently received a special assign ment to this and other studies con nected with fire protection in the forests. “If the number of forest fires caused by careless campers contin ues to increase as it has during the past ten years, the permit system for camp fires will be put in force in many’ parts of Montana and Idaho,” states District Forester Fred Morrell with headquarters at Missoula, Mon tana. This system is now in force on all of the national forests of California and on several of those in Washing ton and Oregon. It will be put into effect for the first time in Montana this summer, when the supervisor of the Lewis & Clark national forest will require all persons who enter the lower Sun River ranger district for the purpose of camping to take' out a permit for their camp fires. The period for which permits are required will be from July 1 to Sep tember 30. A forest guard will be on duty on the road entering the Sun River district to see that the re quirement is fully complied with. “The reason for this restriction is clearly apparent in the gulches of three small streams tributary to Sun River,” says Mr. Morrell. “One of these gulches has been devasted during each of the past three years by fires left unattended by some careless campers who came into the Sun River district on pleasure trips.” O. Hansen and family left by auto for a tour of the Yelowstone Park Wednesday morning. They will meet O. P. Haney in Great Falls who will accompany them on the trip.

For some time past it haB been rumored that' T. O. Larson would be a candidate for re-election to the office of state senator on the repub lican ticket, but Mr. Larson would not commit himself one way or the, cither, even though his friends, on both the republican and democratic parties, had urged him to make the race. This week, however, he has listened to the call and has consented to place his name before the voters at the coming primaries. In an interview secured Wednes day of this week, Mr. Larson assured the Montanan that he would visit the different towns and communities of the county and explain his grounds for differing with the state admin istration. He said in this con nection, “I have voted with them 85 per cent of the time, and you can rest assured that the measures I voted against last session were opposed because of principal, and not because of personal feeling.” While Mr. Larson’s record is well known to the voters of this county, a slight summary of his works would not be amiss at this time. At the last session he worked for and advocated a bill to compel cities and towns to pay an equal amount of road taxes, as compared with the farmers. Several years ago he in troduced and had enacted the anti- discrimination laws, one of which was tried out in Choteau and found to be in need of amendments. He has since made the necessary changes and in his words, “I now feel that it gives absolute protection to the inde pendent dealers against line com panies.” Several other laws have been introduced by him that have been of real benefit to the people. In speaking about new laws Mr. Larson had the following to say, “If re-elected I will not he in favor of any law that will he an. addition al burden to the taxpayer. I believe that the number of government em ployees should be cut down rather than, add^d .to.\ 1 Mr!

E. E. Burgett, district agent for tlie Bankers Life Insurance Co., with headquarters in Great Falls, was a business visitor the early part of the week. For the past few days smoke from forest fires in the vicinity of Missou la and Boise, Idaho, lias been quite noticeable. The dry season is here and certain sections of our forests are vertible tinder boxes. Our local forest officials have been laying con siderable stress on this fact and have appointed a camp fire register at the mouth of Sun River. Every person and camping party that passes through our forests should consider them selves deputy fire wardens and see that no careless act of theirs or any one that they may see adds to the ‘ fire hazard. This smoke“ is a signal and a warning to all and should teach that an excess of caution , a most metic ulous care, is the best thing. Vaca tionists who seek the friendly shelter of our forests or fishing in our streams, should look to their camp fires, cigarette butts and burned matches—not only because the law requires it, but on account of self interest and common sense. It is self evident that none would know ingly be the cause of a destructive fire if they would stop to think of the possible damage it might cause.
