'MYSTERY MAN' PAYS VISIT TO NORTH POPLAR
The "mystery man." a middle-aged meanderer driving an old Dodge automobile who has evaded police in two states and a myriad of counties, paid a visit to north Poplar Tuesday. No reports of thefts were reported in the area, however
The man, who for several weeks has wandered through several North Dakota and Montana counties, allegedly visits farm homes when he finds them unoccupied and ransacks them. He was spotted Tuesday by Lyle Rettig and   Wilfred Lawson.   He
LATE BULLETIN: A man whom police think is the "Mystery Man" was apprehended Wednesday night by Culbertson Chief of Police Alex Damm. The man, Everett Glasgow, signed a waiver Thursday morning and is being returned to North Dakota for arraignment. Although police conjecture that Glasgow might be the mysterious individual who has eluded police for several weeks, the car he was driving was not the one spotted north of Poplar. He was driving a 1947 DeSoto when arrested in Culbertson. Present conjecture indicates that the so-called "Mystery Man" might have been more than one person.
was parked beside the R-Y road when first seen. Since the tele phones in that part of the country were out of order, Mrs. Rettig went into Poplar and notified Harry Skinner, police chief.
By the   time   police   arrived, however, the stranger was gone.
Lawson reportedly followed the man after he left his parked spot. He followed him about 25 miles north before returning to his farm
The man, middle-aged, bald with a bit of gray hair around the edge, has been accused of entering farm houses while the occupants were taking lunch to the men in the fields. He drives a 1951. maroon-colored Dodge auto with Minnesota license plates. An alert has been out on the stranger for several weeks, but police have yet to pick him up for questioning.
The man was first reported in North Dakota and later in Bain-ville. He has bragged that he gets his gas free from bulk distributors. Anyone knowing the whereabouts of this man is asked to report it to local police officers. Sheriff Shuman in Wolf Point or the sher iff in Williston.
Sayers Celebrate Golden Wedding
Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Sayers celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on August 21 with a reception for family, relatives and friends in Poplar. They were married at Bainville fifty years ago on August 25.
Present were their daughter, Ann Dougherty and children of Milwaukee, Wis., and three sons: Joseph, wife and three of their children of Port Orchard, Wn, James E.. wife and daughter of Portland, Ore. and Ernest, wife and children of Bremerton, Wn. This was the first time in 25 years that the entire family has been together at one time.
Also attending were many local and out of town relatives and friends.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Children who have reached the age of six years or who will have reached the age of six years on or before October 15 of any cal-andar year, shall be admitted as beginners on the opening day of the school year which starts on August 29 this year. The Poplar Public School will require that pupils entering the first grade for the first time must present birth certificates at the time of enrollment
It is believed that the requirement of this birth certificate is not only fair and reasonable, but one which will enable us to'render a real service to the individual in some emergency during later years. We base this assumption on the following:
1.) Birth certificates have become a common necessity.
2.) Adults frequently need same in important affairs or must provide an adequate substitute.
3.) The present method of recording vital statistics provides that every child must have a birth certificate.
4.) Birth certificates do get lost, and the entry made into school may provide a source of proof later.
5.> In certain emergency situations, several sources of proof of birth are valuable. The school record is frequently used.
6.) During the past fifteen years we have had several requests for records of date and place of birth and providing the same has been a great help to many adults who never dreamed they would need such aid.
7.) The school must have an official document such as a birth certificate from which to make permanent records if such records are to be recognized.

HOSPITAL
DISTRICTS EXPLAINED
Roosevelt County Commissioners this week issued a public statement concerning the two hospital dis-tircts in the county and their means of obtaining funds.
According to the commissioners many persons have noticed claims in the Commissioners' proceedings by these hospital boards and they have inquired as to whether or not everyone in the county pays toward the support of these two districts.
The commissioners pointed out that there are two districts. Poplar 1 and 9 and Culbertson district 17 and 25. Each of these districts can levy up to three mills on the property within their district. Those persons who live outside of these districts' are not taxed. They emphasized that the hospital district levy is not county-wide.
The money collected by these districts is merely distributed through the commissioners' office.
DONALD NUTTER OUTLINES PLANS AT MEETING
SPORTS HI-LITES
DONALD G. NUTTER
Montanans will have an opportunity for more direct contact with their state departments under a plan announced by Donald G. Nutter, Republican nominee for governor.
The Sidney lawyer outlined his plan during a meeting of party workers and representatives of other local organizations at Hotel Rainbow, Great Falls.
If successful in the November 8 general election, Nutter said he would send "a task force of representatives of key state departments into the field to hold a series of public meetings."
He said the group would include a representative from the Board of Equalization, Unemployment Compensation Commission, Public Welfare Department, Highway Department, and Fish and Game Department
Representatives of local business, farm, civic and labor groups, and the public generally would be invited to attend the meetings at which the governmental representatives would outline the functions of their departments and invite questions and suggestions, Nutter explained.
"Information gained from these meetings that could be applied by the governor's office for better government would be immediately adopted," the GOP nominee said. "Practicable suggestions that might require legislative action would be icorporated in my recommendations to the next biennial session of the Legislature following inauguration of the new administration.
"These are the departments that have been the source of the greatest public concern and which have the most to do, outside of the Legislature itself, with the every day lives of our citizens. If elected, I intend to make them more available to the people."
The meetings would be held in key locations around the state "to avoid spending any more time than necessary in the field but still reach as many people as possible," Nutter said.
"I would intend the plan to help provide information which our People need in order to know what changes might be made to accomplish greater efficiency without impairing governmental services, he said.

The state of Montana is divided up into three sections in Babe Ruth baseball. Poplar is in the section with Glendive, Miles City and Billings. Mr. Ray Whipkey put in a bid while in Glendive for the regional tournament for this section tournament next summer and received it provided a league can be formed consisting of Wolf Point, Scobey, Plentywood and maybe Glasgow, or any of the surrounding towns. If this is obtained there will be an all-star team picked out and will probably play under the name of Poplar All-Stars. Bet Ray Whipkey succeeds in this.
Another location that horseshoe pitching is taking place is   at Poplar Elevator. If you hear a sound� I am closest�it is just Pete Wiley f closer to the peg than Ed Sauer.
J There is a Little League baseball � tournament in Wolf Point this week. Our All-Star team coached by Jamie Baker has been practicing getting ready for it. Scobey and Vida were supposed to be in it but cancelled out so it is just four teams from Wolf Point and our All-Star team.
Scobey Plainsman baseball team won the amateur championship for Montana and is now playing in the national tournament at Wichita, Kan. They won their first game beating a team from Missouri 4-3. Kenny Hansen of Poplar is playing with Scobey.
The City Softball league is moving right along. The scores of the games this past week are Bob & Lou 25 Nifty-Nine 6 (an adding machine needed on this one); Bob & Lou 9 Reserve 8; Murphy 23 Agency 17 (another adding machine game). Monday it is Agency-Bob & Lou, Tuesday Agency-Reserve and Wednesday, Murphy-Bob & Lou.

WHEAT BUYER RESPONSIBLE SAYS NELSON
Grain warehousemen, truckers and other persons who buy wheat from farmers have definite responsibilities in connection with the government marketing quota program, according to Chairman Don E. Nelson of tne Roosevelt County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation committee.
Nelson said the buyer is liable for the penalty on any wheat purchased or otherwise acquired but not identified as penalty-free.
Wheat is normally identified as penalty-free by a marketing card or a marketing certificate. The marketing card�printed in green on white paper for i960�permits a buyer to purchase without liability all wheat offered by the card owner which was produced on the farm or farms listed on the card. A marketing certificate covers only a stated quantity of wheat which a buyer may purchase from the certificate holder without penalty.
On any wheat not identified as penalty-free. Nelson said, the buyer's responsibility is to collect penalty at the rate of $1.08 per bushel and remit the money to the ASC office for the county in which the wheat was produced.    ,
HUNTING NOW OUTLAWED ON
A new federal law. passed  by Congress  this  year,   makes  it  a federal crime to hunt, fish or trap on tribal or Indian trust land. The law   not   only prohibits hunting, fishing and trapping but also prohibits trespassing on Indian  land  with  intent to hunt, fish or trap.
The law, Public Law 86-634, passed July 12 of this year, amends title 18 of the United States Code and prohibits both trespassing on Indian land and destroying or removing boundary markers on Indian reservations.
Under the new law any person who enters tribal or trust land to hunt, fish, trap or remove any sort of game will be subject to fine, imprisonment and confiscation of all game on his person.
The law reads, in reference to game: "Whosoever, without law-full authority or permission, willfully and knowingly goes upon any land that belongs to any Indian or Indian tribe, band, or group and either are held by the United States in trust or are subject to a restriction against alienation imposed by the United States, or upon any lands of the United States that are reserved for Indian use. for the purpose of hunting, trapping or fishing thereon, or for the removal of game, peltries, or fish therefrom, shall be fined not more than $200 or imprisoned not more than ninety days, or both, and all game, fish and peltries in his possession shall be forfeited."
Another section of the law deals with destroying, defacing and removing any sign erected by an Indian tribe or a , government agency which either indicates a reservation boundary or gives notice that hunting, etc. is not permitted on that land. The law provides for a $250 fine or six months imprisonment, or both.
Agency special officer, John Bushman, announced this week that the law would be enforced this season and prosecution is now feasible under the federal law. Any person fishing, hunting or trapping anywhere on the reservation should first make certain that he is not on tribal or trust land.
