Some failed of reelection. How many and which have served more than one term is of special interest at this time. Hence this week's question in the "ear" to the left, above.

Starting an account with $10 and depositing $10 at the close of each six-months period for three years. For the next two years de positing $15 at the close of each six-months; then $20 at the close of each 6-mont.hs for 2 years. In terest at 5 per cent, compounded semi-annually. What was to the boy's or girl's credit at the end of the seven years? The editor makes it $243.76.

SEED LOAN EXTENSION BLANKS JUST RECEIVED Walter Eliff, administrator of the Grand Forks seed loan office, informs me by telephone that he has just received supplies for re newing the 1931 loans on the three year installment plan. These forms must be filled in at the Grand Forks office as it is necessary to figure interest ami to check all data pertaining to each individual loan. This is being done just as rapidly as possible. Papers will be mailed to individual bor rowers. As there are over 15,000 loans to be handled in this way, it Is evident that it will be at least ten days before this work can be completed and the last of the loan renewal papers mailed to the 1931 borrowers. Mr. Eliff states that waiver forms have been prepared and will short ly be in the hands of seed loan committeemen. These waivers can he secured before the 1931 renewal papers are received by the bor rower. In all cases, however, it is waivers til the other 1931 renewal papers are ready to send to the Grand Porks office. In Ms telephone conversation, Mr. Eliff indicated that every pos sible effort is being made to hast en this work for he fully realizes the need of immediate action. Just as soon as we have any thing further from Grand Forks, it will be placed in your hands. —A. W. Warden, County Exten sion Agent. M. E.

The league is starting out with a dance which will take care of league expenses and start a league treasury. You can help us very much by printing the following or something along the same line. Sunday, May 1st, will probably see the opening games of the Roosevelt County baseball league. This league was formed last year with teams from the towns of Wolf Point, Poplar, Brockton, Cul bertson, Froid and Bainville par ticipating. For its first year it did remarkably well, giving the people in its vicinity clean, healthful, ex citing the reach of all. It has revived the interest in the greatest of sports to such an extent that this year we announce the addition of two ' new teams to the league, Medicine I ; The league plans a probable | schedule of sixty games which will he divided into two equal periods, the winning team of the first half to play the winners of the second half for the league championship, Lake and Vida.

RAND CONCERT BEST ONE YET iSCHOOL BANDS AND GLEE CLUBS RENDER HIGH CLASS PROGRAM - Those who attended the annual school band concert and musical the Liberty theatre Wednesday evening enjoyed a program that was more than up to the high standard set by previous concerts. This was particularly true of the senior band and the glee clubs directed by Miss Settle. Charles Simon, director of the band, has trained this organization to a de gree of perfection which surprises those who do not hear the band frequently. Several of the numbers this year were heavier than usual, but the band gave a finished per formance that was a credit to them selves and their director. The junior hand was correspond ingly good and gives promise that Wolf Point will have a high class school hand for years to come. Variety was added to the pro gram by the snappy performance of the drum and bugle corps, the comedy work of Paul Donehoo in The Whistler and His Dog, and the duet by Robert and Roland Anderson. The theatre was well filled, al though a number more could have been seated. The concert would have been well worth a dollar in normal times, particularly in view of the fact that the hand's share of the proceeds are going to be used to defray the expenses on the trip to Havre next month, but the price of the adult tickets was put at 35 cents each in order that more could attend - The <l uality of tbe P r °gram. which was published last week ' was better than ever before - and Wolf Point Rixens may be s,lre that this city and the school music department will have a splendid advertisement when the band goes to Havre to the music festival on May 7.

NORTHERN ROOSTS POOL COMPLIES WITH REQUEST FOR FREE FREIGHT ON GRAVEL Division Superintendent A . J. Progner, of the Great Northern, spent Wednesday in Wolf Point inspecting the company's property and conferring with Agent G. P. Swedberg. He also visited with Dr. A. R. Klatte, an aid railroad friend, who was a G. N. conductor when Mr. Progner was a roadmast er. Learning that Supt. Progner was in town, Dr. J. R. Burgess, who is a loyal booster for the proposed community swimming pool, con ceived a bright idea. Better yet he acted on it. He went to the sup erintendent's private car and walk ed right in without knocking. "What do you want?" was the terse question of the railroad man, who has a reputation for being as "hard" as he is efficient. Dr. Burgess briefly explained the local pool project, the need of it and the financial problem it pre sents to the community. Also ex plaining that is was still in the "proposed" stage and not assurred for this year. "The freight charges on the gravel," said the doctor, "would be a big item to us. Will the Great Northern give us free transportation, from Chinook?" The Superintendent inquired a bout dimensions and the dentist mentioned what would be consid ered ample size for the pool. Sam Coleman, division master carpen ter, who was with the superinten dent. estimated the amount of grav el required as "four or five cars, perhaps six". "It can be arranged", said Mr. Progner. And that was that. It was found by thorough tests by engineers at the time estimates were made on the Wolf Point bridge that local gravel will not do for extensive concrete construction. It contains lime and cannot be depended on permanently to stand up. Washed gravel of the right quality would be required in con structing the swimming pool. Chi nook is the nearest place to get it. The freight on enough gravel would be close to one-fourth of the cost of the pool. A most generous donation by the Great Northern, and a gracious friendly act by Sup't Progner. Also a fine day's work for the community by Dr. Burgess, seems the place to say he must have a strong pull, but it would never do to stoop to a cheap pun. So it will not be said. It FARM UNION MEET BAINVILLE MON. Mr. and Mrs. Julius Cess y>f Volt, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Myers of Lustre, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Mahlum of Waska and Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Perdina of Volt attended the Farm Union meeting at Bainville Mon day. meeting. It was decided to have the county convention and picnic at Poplar, the date to be fixed lat er, probably in July. The following account of the meeting appeared in the Great Falls Tribune: They report an enjoyable BAINVILLE—April 6.—At the farmers union county convention here J. T. Kelly of Castagne, state president, urged that members of the union write to Montana con gressmen at Washington, asking that a sale of surplus wheat on the stabilization corporation market be made to foreign markets, where there is a shortage. He urged that this is an attempt to side step a bill in for impounding stabilization wheat for two years. Mr. Kelly stressed the value of united action by the farmers. John Q. Zuck of Flaxvilie spoke on the money question. He said that 80 percent of all taxes is used for payment of interest on debts. The present depression he attri buted to a clause in the federal re serve banking act, which provides for recall of loans at any time from national banks. Since 1931, loans of small national banks through- out the country have been rapidly called in, he said, Other speakers were County Agent A. W. Warden and William Powers of Bainville, who gave the address of welcome. Julius Gess of Volt, county president of the ; union, presided. R- A. Harbo, coun j ty secretary, was present, j The 10 county locals were all j represented by 30 delegates. Total j attendance at the afternoon session was about 200. Dist. School Election Lively At Glasgow Reports say Glasgow held a I school district election Saturday j that was full of excitement and lively campaigning. Two trustees were elected and the issue was school athletics and their support. As in Wolf Point, over eight hund red votes were cast. According to the best information at hand, the candidates supporting athletics won. The students took an import ant part in the campaigning. INDIAN DEP'T FOR PROJECT COMM. RHOADS SAYS GREAT BENEFIT OF IRRIGATION IS SEEN Alexander Sansaver, head of the Port Peck Farm and Livestock as sociation, has received a letter from Commissioner Rhoads of the Indian department that brings much en couragement to the backers of the idea of an irrigation project on the Missouri river, across the southern edge of the Fort Peck reservation. It is evident that the real econom ic value of irrigation toward mak ing the Port Peck Indians self sup porting is recognized, and an early investigation of the proposed pro ject "is contemplated". The Commissioner's letter fol lows: This is acknowledge receipt of your resolution of March li, 1932 requesting the support of this Of fice in reference to H. R. 10240 authorizing development of the Missouri River unit of the Port Peck Irrigation project. This is to advise yon that this matter is being given considera tion by this office and it is con templated to have investigations made during the coming summer of the feasibility and cost of pump ing plants to supply certain areas adjacent to jhe Missouri river. It is realized fully by this office that additional areas available for the production of forage crops would if properly utilized be of great benefit to the Port Peck In dians and permit a much more sat isfactory and profitable utilization of the large areas of grazing land on the Fort Peck Indian reserva tion immediately adjacent to the Missouri river. IT'S PÜRE-EE-NA, NOT PURE-EYE, PROO-NEE, OR WHAT HAVE YOU? Thirty odd years ago a young man with a bent towards scientific livestock feeding, then a rather new-fangled idea, began experi menting in feed mixing. His idea flowered, bore fruit, and today is known as Purina Mills. The young man's name was Wm. H. Danforth, now chairman of the board of that company. And in Purina, Mr. gave to farming America a word that probably today Is one of the most mis-pronounced in the lang uage. Just how many ways Purina is mispronounced, no one knows. And yet there is but one correct way. The word Purina, which is a part of the name Purina Chows by which the feeds and supplements made by the company are known, comes from the common word pure. When this young man got his idea on livestock feeding and feed mix ing, he set up as one inviolate rule that always all ingredients must be pure. So it was only nat ural to seek to put that word into the name of his products. Purina was the result. And the correct pronunciation is Pure-ee-na. That's the way it's said in home offices and research laboratories Danforth in St. Louis. That's the way the man who coined it said it. ~The most common mispronuncia tion is Pure-eye-na. Other garbled editions are Purr-ee-na, Pa-roo-na and even Proo-nee. But there's just one right way, Pure-ee-na. Purina feeds and supplements are sold locally by The Wolf Point Produce Co. MRS. DOLVEN'S FATHER DIES Mrs. Walter Dolven was called to Hrrlem to attend the funeral Monday of her father, R. B. Gan naway, who passed away Saturday at Chinook following an illness of two months with cancer. Mr. Gan naway was a pioneer In Blaine county and one of its best loved citizens. The funeral services were attended by a large number of friends. At the time of his death Mr. Gannaway was county com missioner of Blaine county. SCHOOL REGION VOTE HEAVY; LOVELL, MINDEMAN, TRUSTEES 5j CITY VOTING; TAME; LISTUG ELECTED MAYOR; OPPO SITION NIL Kight hundred and six people presented themselves at the Wolf Point polling place at the District 45 school election Saturday and voted. About 84 more voted at Volt. Interest always is strong in the schools but this was one of the biggest turnouts ever known at a district election. The vote of both town and country was divided al though there was no issue that was publicly announced. The opposing candidates for the three year term were J. R. Burgess and V. A. Lovell. For the one year term Wm. Mindeman and H. C. Ditmarson were the candidates. The names of Louis V. Balbinot and A. L. Homrighaus were also on the ticket but they were not voluntary candidates and asked everybody they saw not to vote for them. In town, Lovell received 496 votes to 270 for Burgess. Minde man received 468 to 291 for Dit- ' marson. Fifteen were divided be- 1 tween Balbinot and Homrighaus. At Volt, Burgess received 45 to | 38 for Lovell, Ditmarson 44 to 39 I for Mindeman, with two scattering. In The Wards The city election, Monday was one of the quietest ever held. There were no issues, no 'feelings" and no opposition. Whose two-year administration seemingly has given excellent satis Mayor Swedberg, faction, declined to be a candidate for reelection. It is a peculiar tra dition of Wolf Point that, except ing the first one, Joe Klinkhara mer. no mayor has served a sec ond term. Either they did not choose to run or failed of reelect ion. When the time for filing was nearly up Andy Listug was drafted by his friends and his name placed on the ticket. He received 40 vries in the First ward. 87 in the Sec ond and 28 in the Third. Scatter ing 2. For aldermen. James Alrick re ceived 40 in the First ward; O. C. Heinze had 86 in the Second ward; Eli Malt by got 26 in the Third, all being reelected. For Police magistrate Judge Charles Gordon, in spite of the fact that he claims he was bitterly opposed by Wall street, received 134 votes in the whole city to one for Arlie Foor and one for Todd Shamley. Two» voters wanted Tom Dorr for a dry mayor, and two favored Dad Kearney for member of the coun cil. With a single exception the four ELEANOR CAR!
