VALUE ESTIMATE
MONTANA CROPS
THERE ARE NOW SOME 1910, 900
BUSHELS OF WHEAT ON
MONTANA FARMS
As Against 2,S76,OOO at This Time
Last Year; Price Now $3.50 Per
Bushel as Against $1.94 at This
Time Last Year; Price Less Here
Than Elsewhere.

How crop values have fallen is
succinctly shown in a statement just
issued by the bureau Of crop esti-
mates. The statement also shows the
amount of produce still on farms.
The figures for Montana are especial
ly interesting.
There are now 1870, 900 bushels
of wheat on Montana farms, against
2,876,0O0 at this time last year and
4,494,000 in 1919. 1t is bringing
$1.30 a bushel as against 1874 at
this time last year and $1.88 at this
time two years ago. In fact, the re-
ports show that wheat now is bring
ing less in Montana and South Da-
kota than in any other state. While
the Montana figure of $1.30 is the
lowest of any in the country, North
Carolina price of $2.05 is the high
est and the average for the country
is $1.47.
Oats still held on Montana farms
amount to 8,232,0OO bushels, COM
pared with 1,711,000 at this time
last year, and 9,180,0O0 at this time

WHY WEAK NERVES

Your body normally makes or gener~
ates nerve force only about SO fast, and
if through operspork, worry, constant
nervous strain or other excuses, you use
up your nerve force faster than your
body makes new nerve force, then your
nerve power becomes weakened, and as
a consequence your blood may become thin,
pale, and watery, and you become feeble Cross,

suffer terrible fortunes from a. multitude of
alarming symptoms, but in your greatly weak
ened condition You are an easy prey for the
multitude OF dangerous germs with which you
must come in almost daily contact, and You
may therefore easily contract some dangerous
or even fatal disease
In such cases you should Immediately take
something to reVit8iize your WORKOUT, exhaust
cd nerves and create new nerve force. This
IS most effectively accomplished by the free
uSe of kuxated Iron. This valuable product
quickly aids in enriching the blood and thereby
helps it tn furnish an additional supply Of new
nerve force with which to revitalize and regen-
crate the brain and nerve cells. It also contains
aproduct which represents the principal chem

be said to be both a blood and nerve food as it
furnishes strength giving organic iron 10 the

Dempsey Knocked Carpenter Out in
Fourth Round

Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham
pion pugilist Of the world, knocked
out Georges Carpenter, idol of the
Old World, in the fourth round in the
Jersey City arena July 2. The bat
tie of the century was witnessed by
more than 10000 fans who had paid
in the neighborhood of a million and
half dollars to see the fight. Demp-
sey was predicted winner, but he
had to use his skill in order to de-
feat the gallant French aviator. Just
before the fight started airplanes flew
over the arena to do honor to Car
pentier. The fans were with Car
pentier, this being the first time in
American history when large ma
jority of our people would liked to
have seen a foreigner win. This was
no doubt due to Carpenters splendid
war record and to the charge that
Dempsey was a Stacker. Carpenter
put up great fight and staggered the
champion a number Of times with his
right hand blows, any one of which
would have knocked him out had he
not been man of iron. Carpenter
is a much more skillful boxer than
Dempsey. Dempsey wore Carpen-
tier down with his jabs to the body
and knocked the Frenchman out with
short right to the chin. Carpenter
broke his thumb during the fight.
Dempsey received $500 100000 for his
Is minutes work while Carpenter will
take back $200,00O.O0 in good Amer
lean money.

Baseball

The local fans were treated to an
awful exhibition of baseball over
the last week end and the Fourth
when a team representing Grand
Forks played four games against the
local team.
The games were all won by the
locals as the visitors were the worst
aggregation ever appearing here
How they got out Of the home city is'
hard to figure out as they were sup
posed to bring ball team and as
sured the local manager they woulG
give him regular games.
It cannot be blamed on the local
management that such team should
appear as he had to- take their word
for bringing a good team and none
of the known good teams, could be
secured for the holiday as all played
at home games. 1t was money loss
as very little more than expenses
were made for small crowds were out
which is nothing against the fans.
The only thing that was enjoyed at
all and smoothed things over con-
siderably was the clown actions OF
some of the players which was really
good.
Fargo comes this week end for
three games and here the fans will
see the best teams in the state against
each other as Fargo is the only team
that has taken series from Minot
and will try to do it again. The To-
calls have Pierce to catch for the re-
mainder of the year and he will be
remembered as he was here some
time last season and is very much
improved player. An extra pitcher
Of the best will be here to help the
locals get even,' at least, with the
visitors.
The month will be filled at home
with real ball and the series just
finished will soon be forgotten.
Games are already scheduled for up
in August and the whole month will
be played out with several teams not
yet played by the locals.

Miss Rose Ahearn, aged 10 years,
a nurse in training at st. Joseph's
hospital, was drowned in Mouse river
Friday morning, where she had gone
to battle with tive other nurses,
Orpha Frank and Marie Volk. Miss
Frank had narrow escape from
death while trying to save Miss
Ahearn.
The young women, who had worked
at the hospital all Thursday night,
went to the river on Fourth Avenue
N. w. to battle before going to bed
for the day. The night had been ter
rifically hot and while none of them
was able to swim, they concluded
that a plunge in the river would be
enjoyable. The river at that point is
extremely dangerous for one who
cannot swim, as there are several
deep holes, dropping off abruptly.
Miss Franks sister, Mrs. F. r.
Purdy resides at 4O8 Fourth Ave. N.
w. and the young people went there
to put on their bathing suits. Mrs.
Purdy warned them Of the danger
of the stream. The river has been
coming up rapidly for several days
due to the heavy rains and is higher
at this time Of the year than has,
been known in many years.
When Miss Ahearn dropped into
the waterhole, Miss Frank attempted
to rescue her and was herself nearly
drowned. Miss Volk tried to reach
the two young women and went uA-
der the water once, but saved herself
by grasping spring board. Mis-.
Volk gave the alarm and Clarence
johnson, who lives on Fourth Ave.
N. w. swan across the river to the
rescue, saving Miss Frank. Mrs E.
D. Root, who lives in that vicinity,
notified the fire department and
while the firemen were searching for
the body of Miss Ahearn, Miss
Frank was revived by artificial res
piration. She was taken to the hos
pital where she was in quite seri-
Gus condition for a time, but has
now recovered.
The body Of Miss Ahearn was re-
covered in about Is feet of water.
AS soon as the body was brot to the
surface, the pulmotor was used and
at one time it was believed that it
would prove successful, but when It
was seen that this would not work,
the body was taken to the hospital,
the pulmotor being worked enroute,
At the hospital an operation was per-
formed on the body, the heart being
exposed and massaged in the hope
that it might start functioning again,
as has been effected in a number OF
similar instances, but all efforts to
revive her failed.
The body had not been in the wa
ter more than 25 minutes before it
was recovered, but by the time it had
been taken to the hospital, the fin
gers had turned purple.
Miss Ahearn came from Berthold
to Minot and would have completed
her course in nursing in about nine
months. She has sister, Miss
Bernice Ahearn, who is nurse in
training at St. Joseph's hospital. Her
father is dead and her mother, Mrs.
Johanna Ahearn, resides at Bert.

Burlington Potato Growers Will Build
Warehouse

On Friday, July 1, the Burlington
potato growers met at the Woodman
Hall and voted to erect a potato ware
house with full equipment of weigh
ing machines, conveyors, sorters and
leaders, suitable for handling the i'm
mense yield Of tubers which will be
shipped from that community this
fall. A committee consisting of J..
H. Werner, Chas. Fuller, Harvey john
son, H. A. Kluver and E. A. Madison,
were selected to visit some of the
leading poatto centres of Minnesota,
and select type of building and
equipment that would best suit their
need.
The Burlington growers voted to in
corporate and stock will be sold as
soon as the articles Of Incorporation
are received from the secretary Of
state. The association is strictly CO.
operative, no matter how much stock
any member owns he can have but
one vote. This will protect the smaller
stockholder and give him the same
say as regards the policies of the or
ganization as has any other men,
Der. He agrees that all ship
ments and sales will be thru the or
ganization exclusively. The penalty
for disregard of this agreement is
that said member shall pay the asso-
citation what would have been their
regular margin had the transaction
been thru the regular channels.
About Is growers from the Burling-
ton district as well as a number of
the Foxholm growers were present
at the meeting.
The following officers were elect
ed for the ensuing year: E. A. Mad
son, reelected president; J. H. Wer-
mes, vice president; H. A. Kluver, Sec
retary; Charles Fuller, treasurer, and
these officers together with Harvey
johnson constitute the board of dir
ectors.
The success of the Burlington grow
ers will be watched with considerable
interest thruout northwestern North
Dakota.

Humphreys Struck Tough Roads in
Montana

A letter was received from Malta,
Mont, from Guy Humphreys, stat.
ing he and his family had arrived
there July s, in their car. They en-
countered some very muddy roads in
Montana and from Culbertson on
west they struck gumbo. Didn't
know there was so much gumbo in
the world and it is the stickiest stuff
I ever saw" Mr.. Humphreys writes.
"Stopped at Culbertson the first
night, Wolf Point the second and
Hinsdale, O. N. Elliott's old home,
the third. At Culbertson we got q
room in the southwest corner Of the
hotel. Had just got to the room
when we heard loud explosion. The
flour mill blew up and caught fire
and burned to the ground. We had a
reserved seat in the hotel and watch
ed her 60 up It seems to me that

MinOt District in Cood Shaue

It is fortunate that with the ex-
ception of comparatively small dis
trict in the immediate vicinity of Mi
not a very good crop will be har-
vested in Minot's trade territory. Mi
not is the center of very large dis
trict which for the most part will
harvest fine crops. The banks in
the outlying districts that are bor-
rowers from the Minot banks will be
able to liquidate much of their indebt-
edness and this will place our local
banks in position where they will
be able to finance that part Of the
district that may need assistance.
