probably not over twenty, the terri
tory swept by the storm having {
very small percentage of cultivated
land. The report from Poplar, he
says applies to the country south, il
Richland county, which was hard hi
in places. Sheridan and Daniels
counties, he hears, lost very heavily
Mr.. Noble says Roosevelt county is
exceedingly fortunate so far and has
a wonderful crop.
The storm at most points did not
reach more than eight or nine miles
north and in the Volt country there
was not even rain, but south of the
river a small area was struck, with
a few cases of serious damage,
Among the farms reported hit are
the M. Lund, Baldwin, Randall.
Henry Irwin, Stille, Lars and Chris
Peterson. The Peterson places are
said to have been hit the hardest.
According to reports none of these
Southside farmers carried hail in
surance for the reason that they
thought there was a chance of los
ing their crop by grasshoppers.
The loss was of course more than
the community could spare and a ser
ious matter for those who are hardest
hit, in some cases almost a tragedy,
but for all that the storm might have
been many times more destructive
if it had swept a country where the
acreage is much larger, such as lie
both north and south.
In town only slight damage was
done, some gardens being mussed up
and a few practically ruined. A few
small buildings were overturned. The
frame roof was lifted off the tile
garage at the H. B. Tyson place and
the roof was blown off from at least
one car in the yards. The hail was
not large enough to break window
glass, but the wind blew in one of the
large plate windows in the west front
of the Owl Cafe. The big electric
sign in front of the Globe Clothing
store was torn from it's moorings but
through extreme good luck the win
dows of the front were not damag-
ed and the sign itself only slightly So.

The report that there was no hail
at Poplar appears to have been true
only in the city as the following Pop
lar item, clipped from the Great
Falls Tribune, indicates destructive
hail in the nearby country:
Poplar.-In an area estimated to
be almost ten miles square, crops
were almost totally destroyed, in a
hail storm Tuesday night, that farm
ers declare was the worst ever to
strike this country. Crops a 100 to
100 acres, and, with few exceptions,
they were completely wiped out.
The hail lasted only about Is min
utes and was preceded by a terrific
storm that at times approached
cyclone. A vacant house owned by

F. K. N "IDEA"
Boston Transcript

Death is the most commonplace
thing in the world. The brave man
or woman makes no fuss about it.
Franklin X. Lane really made no fuss
about it, and in his death-bed talk
with himself we are persuaded that
he wrote 81 accept with a smile, as
if it were his little pleasantly with
the infinite everyday mystery.
Such a man of ideas! He was full
of them. Just as he was going upon
the operating table, he wrote a letter
to DR.. John H. Finley, making GER
tain educational and broadly politi-
cal suggestions which are sure to
bear fruit.
He proposed what he called an ex-
change for new ideas in New York, to
be endowed by some capitalist or
philanthropist-a sort of public ros-
trum, to which every thinker who
finds a new path through the wilder
ness of fact or the fog of ideas would
be invited-an exchange of ideas
without interest; a foundation which
would deal in pregnant suggestion; a
school at which there would be no
enrolled students, but where every
citizen of the United States would
be a student.
Mr.. Lane wanted a sort of federal
reserve board for bipartisan politics,
where ripe minds, so to speak, could
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1921-07-14

ripen the purposes of the people,
vague idea this, but interesting in
deed, and wholly in keeping with the
helpful spirit of the man.
Let us hope that at least the for
mer of these two propositions will
find embodiment some time in an en-
bowed institution, and that the name
of Lane will be attached to it and
made illustrious by it.

The editor contracted that rather
common disease ~engeeitis this week
and decided to take a vacation on the
absent treatment plan. After talk
ing with a few of the fellows who
have been motoring and fishing and
camping he kids himself into imagin-
ing that he is doing those things while
he sticks on the job and goes through
the routine motions of getting up a
newspaper. After you get the knack
it is perfectly simple and rather
pleasant to build a camp fire and fry
a few trout at the same time that you
grind out dope for the editorial page;
Or climb a young mountain to get a
view while you dash off a review of
The crop situation. Unless the fish
to quit biting and the rains
food the roads again we expect to
come back" next week.

GIVE ATTENTION TO CLOTHES
Washing and Pressing of Linen and
Cotton Suitings Can Be Done
Quite Nicely at Home.

Cotton and linen suits can be
pressed and Numbered at home. Dust
can generally be shaken from them,
for they do not hold it as wool and silk
do. Brushing tends to rub the dirt
into cotton and linen fibers. Heavy
cotton and linen suitings should be
pressed on the wrong side OF with a
thin cloth spread over them. This
makes them look more like new and
prevents shine on seams and marks of
the iron.

WOLVES WIN FROM
CULBERTSON SUNDAY

The dope was exatcly right. Sun
days game between Culbertson and
the local Legion team was a tight one
but fast work in the field and the
gamest sort of fighting from the first
minute to the last saved the day
result, Wolf Point 5, Culbertson a.
The Culbertson team has a bunch
of good hitters and in this depart
ment they had a little something on
the locals. When it came to fielding
the honors belonged to the Wolves
and fast work STAYED off defeat in a
number of frames. Melhouse was
considerable of a puzzle to the local
batsmen until the eighth inning.
In the first each team scored a
run and Culbertson repeated in the
second. The score stood this way I'M
til the eighth and the fans thought
the day was lost, but then the tide
turned and by punching four hits
and a sacrifice the leading players
were able to push four runs over the
plate for a lead of three. But the
visitors died hard and came right
back in the ninth with three hits that
brought them two runs, but there
they stopped and the battle was won
and another leg put under the claim
that Wolf Point has the best all home
talent, non-salaried ball team in this
part of the country. The following
is the lineups of the two teams:

NORTH DAKOTA MEN
DEBATE MARKET PLANS

The Hillsboro IN. d. Banner, pub
lished in Trail county in the eastern
part of the state, gives an interest
account of the joint debate held IN
that city between Messrs. George E.
Duis, president of the North Dakota
Wheat Growers association, and
Usher L. Burdick, formerly of Willis
ton, who is organizing director in this
state for the United States Grain
Growers, incorporated. The debate
covered the supposed relative merits
of the two organizations, in their
claims upon farmers.
Mr.. Duis, according to The Banner,
centered his attention on the fact
that the Wheat Growers contract
provides for a compulsory pool, and
that it applies only to wheat. He
contended that corr growers will pre-
dominate in the U. S. Grain Growers,
and that therefore the interests of
the growers of wheat will be subor-
dinated to those of the growers of
corn.
Mr.. Burdick, in replying, admitted
that he prefers the compulsory pool,
but he pointed out that farmers can
pool under the U. S. Grain Growers
contract, and are for the most part
do;nr co IN North Dakota
at is impossible to divide farmers
into wheat growers and corn growers
and oats growers" said Mr.. Burdick.
81 grow not only wheat on my farm,
but corn and oats also. | want a
market for my corn and oats as much
as | do for my wheat. It's a mistake
to assume that the states farther east
have no concern with the marketing
of wheat. Last year, for instance,
Ohio grew 3O,OOO,O0O more bushels of
wheat than North Dakota, and even
Indiana grew $4,000 900 more bu-
shells than North Dakota. Who will
say, then, that those farmers aren't
as interested in marketing wheat as
corn?
"And if we have an organization
devoted solely to the marketing of
wheat, then we must have another
devoted to corn, another to oats, an
other to flax and so on. | don't need
to point out to any of you the endless
confusion and wasteful duplication
that will result from such a system.
One of the biggest things the U. S.
Grain Growers promises to do for it's
members is to advise them thoroughly
from year to year of the needs OF
the world, so that the farmers of the
United States shall not plunge on
wheat, and go short on corn, but so
that they will grow the amounts
needed of all the various cereals"
In his speech Mr.. Burdick declar-
ed he did not wish to be classed as an
enemy of the Wheat Growers asso-
citation. 81 had far rather a farmer
would join the Wheat Growers" he
said, "that not to sign any contract
whatever. I would be perfectly will
ing to have all our organizers carry
Wheat Growers contracts, and, if
they fail to persuade a farmer to
sign with the U. s. Grain Growers,
try to get him to sign with the Wheat
Growers"
