HOW ONE FEELS
WHEN WOUNDED
Broadus Man Tells of Expe
rience When Shot on
Battle Front

What it feels like to be wounded
was told recently by Johnny Singer,
of the Broadus country, who had that
unpleasant experience while fighting
with the United States troops in
France. In talking of the matter of
AL Truscott, he told of going over the
top and suddenly being knocked
down. When he came to, he had no
feeling in his right arm, Immediately
deciding that it had been shot Off
Upon feeling it with his left hand he
found it was all right. Then he re-
allied that his left arm was in some
strange condition, deciding that it
must have been the one to be shot off.
By use Of the right hand, which he
knew was all right, he found that he
still had both arms intact.
Singer, then, he stated, noticed for
the first time that his head was COW
cred with blood and once more de-
cided that he had lost something,
thinking at first that the whole top
of his head was gone. This also
proved to be incorrect and little by
little he began to gather himself to-
gether. He then decided that he was
not so badly off after all, finally find
ing out that he had been struck in
the leg by bullet, the shock Sc
numbing his, sense that it was ap-
parently impossible to get more than
one idea at time through his brain
When he found out what the wound
was, he went forward again after
zone more Hun" before being sent
back for hospital attention.

erecting forms for concrete work, lay
ing brick and rapidly pushing the
walls of the Midland to completion.
1t is announced by the management
of the new enterprise that opening of
the plant will be before the 1st of
August. This should be good news
to the range country of the whole
northwest. The Midland is being
built on strictly modern lines. 1t is
to be the last word in packing house
completeness of equipment and stor-
age facility. 1t will be ready for op-
GRAFTON before the opening of the sea-
son for marketing range stock This
alone will mean an added demand for
$4,000 cattle during the period of the
range marketing season. The Mid
land, while being built by the sale of
stock, Is not get-rich-quick scheme
the putting up of the walls of a
building with nothing upon which to
operate after the building is complet-
ed. 1t is in the hands of practical
packing house men, who have pro-
vided an ample operating capital. The
capacity of the plant will be 1000 cat
tie and $4,000 hogs per week This
increased slaughter capacity of the
Sioux City market will draw more
live stock to this market-and this
in turn will draw more buyers for
the feed lot and order trade-
The Sioux City market has doubled
itself since my first trip into the
Northwestern range country, seven
years ago. 1t has been always
growing market. but the boosters
have never been able to carry more
of promise to the rangeman than they
have on this trip"

NEW SIDNEY HOSPITAL

Sidney-Sidney has gone over the
top. Through the public liberality of
the people of Sidney more than the
quota of $4,000 has been raised for
the Deaconess hospital.
Because enough funds are required
to buy furnishings of the hospital,
the campaign is still being pushed
throughout the county to raise $4,000
more than the original asking. This,
no doubt, can be done.

Government May Have to
Pay Huge Amount to
Farmers
GUARANTEED PRICE
OF 1926 BUSHEL
No Prediction on the World
Market Price Made
By Officials

w dolllllS IOll--F OIoCdSL Dy LHe Qe-
partment of agriculture today that
the nations winter wheat crop would
total S37, 100000 bushels, the largest
crop ever grown, aroused immediate
speculation as to the cost to the gov
ernment of such yield.
Under the bill passed by congress
the government is obliged to pay the
difference between the guaranteed
price of $2.26 bushel and the world
market price for each bushel of win
ter and spring wheat produced.
The total value of winter wheat
crop on the basis of an S37,OOO,OOOO
bushel crop forecast, would be 81,
S91,62O,O0O The spring wheat crop
cannot be estimated at this time, but
the department of agriculture Off
cials today predicted it would range
between 225,0OO,0O0 and 100000
600 bushels, which would increase
the total value of the nations wheat
crop to approximately two and one
half billion dollars.
The part of this two and half bill
lion dollars that the government
must pay to maintain the guaranteed
price was matter upon which Off
cials here declined to comment. 1t
was said that the factors influencing
the world market prices were too
numerous to make any prediction.
The department of agriculture has no
information as to estimated wheat
production in the other wheat grow
ing countries of the world.
Officials believe there will be a
good foreign demand for American
wheat which will take care of the ma
tons surplus and while the loss to
the government through it's price
guarantee may run into the millions
of dollars, it simply will be taking
money from one pocket and putting
it into another. Officials believe the
forecast indicates farmers will be
more prosperous and possess greater
potential buying power than ever be-
fore. The enormous sums farmers
will receive for their wheat, it was
said, should find it's way back quickly
into circulation, thus adding to the
general prosperity of the nation.
Today's forecast indicated that
America will have greater surplus
than ever before. The United States
requires for it's own yearly consump-
tion about So bushels of wheat for
each person. With approximately
10, 100000 people in the United
States and adding approximately 75,-
100000 bushels of wheat which is
necessary for feeding purposes, the
demands of this country this year are
estimated at more than 650,OOO,0OO
bushels.
With spring wheat production
estimated at from 225,0O0,O00 to
500, 100000 it would appear that the
surplus available for export would be
about 45O,OO0,OO0 bushels.
What these figures mean is indi-
Gated in statistics showing that be-
fore the war the United States ex-
ported an average of 100000, 900
bushels yearly. During the war the
greatest quantity exported in any one
year was about 335,OOO,OOO bushels,
SO that the available new supply this
year would be considerable more
than 100000 bushels above the
maximum ever exported, even when
practically all the warning and neu-
trail nations were depending upon the
United States as the main source OF
