THE WOLF POINT
VOTE BY PRECINCTS

The totals published in The Herald
last week of the vote received by the
three leading towns in the county
seat race were correct-Poplar 1919
Wolf Point 1924; Bainville 1106.
Besides these Culbertson received
AT, Brockton 3 and Mondak l..
Wolf Point received votes in 25 of
the 33 precincts which shows that
our claims and arguments were rec
ognized as holding merit in many
precincts where the home town was
much nearer. Wolf Points vote came
from the following precincts and vi
entities besides in the city:

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS
SHOW STEADY GROWTH

During the first six months in
1920, 208,257 boys and girls in the
Northern and Western states enroll
ed in the clubs which are supervised
by the United States Department of
Agriculture and the state colleges.
The large enrolment in these clubs
promises that soon, possibly be-
fore the next census is taken, the ex-
odus from the country to the city
will be definitely checked. Club work
has already dignifed agriculture in
the eyes of thousands upon thousands
of farm boys and girls and made
them satisfied with country life, for
the organization brings new inter-
ests into the lives of its members and
enables them to make money of their
own. While club work encourages
boys and girls to procure a higher
education if possible-987 northern
and western club boys and COZ club
girls are in agricultural colleges this
year-it does not educate them away
from the farm.
One percent of the total popula-
ton of the country, or 1,041,4 AL per-
sons, were reached the first six
months of the current year through
the juvenile club events. When the
boys and girls put on an exhibit it
is popular with all ages and all ages

On April Is. It was estimated that

Count OF the inability to transport
them. On May 20, this number had
been reduced by about $4,000. But
still nearly 200. 900 cars Of merchandise
and materials are clutterirg UP the
railroads OF the country waiting for de-
livery. The industrial loss resulting
from the railroad situation will run up
into the hundreds OF millions OF dollars.
Many manufacturing plants have been
compelled to close down or to run par
TALLY, and extraordinary efforts have
been made by concerns that had to have
supplies.
The one big question industrially and
financially which this county has to
solve is the rehabilitation Of the rail-
roads. They must be put in better
. shape to handle the business OF the
,people. They must have more cars.
more engines and moro and better
trackage. The productive capacity OF
the country today IS not limited so
much by the capacity OF the mines and
the mills. and Of the farms. as 1t Is by
the capacity OF the railroads to carry
raw materials TO the makers, food to
the cities, and finished products to
their markets

The fact is there is absolutely no phil

From an examination of the soviet

units OF various sizes, just as Is the

as whole. counties. and other local
units such as districts. precincts. or

THE KANSAS WHEAT CROP

Kansas comes to the front with some
reassuring information J. C. Mohler
OF the State Board Of Agriculture esti-
. mates that the 1920 wheat crop Of
Kansas will be 100000 bushels. a
record passed only by the crops of 1914
and 1918. For the past several months
we have had alarming reports about
the reduction in the wheat crop, the
falling or IN acreage as we'll as the
general condition OF tho crop. The
Kansas figures deny these rumors.
Possibly reports from other wheat pro-
ducing states may be equally encourag-
ing. This Is not a year in which we
can afford to have . small wheat crops.
Very little surplus OF wheat was car
ried over from 1919. Europe has not
vet begun to produce her normal sup
ply, and the world still needs our
wheat. A shortage IN America will
sEnean high cost OF bread for the world
at large.

In other words. as the senator's of

were one removed from the American

Under the Russian soviet system the
members Of the Legislative body known
as the regional soviet are chosen not
by the people but by the urban soviet
members being elected in cities by the
direct vote of those OF the Russian
