HERALD'S NEWSBOY IS
A BUSY YOUNCSTER

Gilbert Lintz is The Herald's au-
thorized newsboy, and is meeting
with fine success selling Heralds at
the trains and around town. Gilbert
is not a novice at the business, be-
ing city trained in the art of selling
papers, through several years exper-
ience in Omaha.
He will also take subscriptions for
The Herald. Give him your name,
correct address, including post office
box, and we will send you by him a
receipt for the amount you wish to
pay on subscription and you can send
the money by him and keep the re-
ceipt. The subscription price of The
Herald in Montana is $3.50 per year,
S1.25 for six months.
Gilbert makes good profit on both
papers and subscriptions, give him

PICNIC in MIDST OF

ing few from Wolf Point the rains
and the condition of the roads inter
ferred with the plans somewhat and
prevented Murray Stebbins, county
agent for Valley county, from being
present, but a pleasant day of good
features was nevertheless enjoyed.
A big basket dinner was eaten as
start-off for the day and was follow
ed by an exciting ball game between
the Lustre team and the Pershing
Cubs. Those who saw the game say
there was some good playing and
plenty of entertainment for the
crowd. Pershing won by score of
12 to 6. The crowd was treated to
several selections of music by the
band.
After the ball game Attorney H.
N. Marion of this city delivered a
fine address on the duties of citizen

LAND DRENCHED BY
RECORD RAINFALL
INCHES OF WATER MAKES
WETTEST JUNE IN YRS.
CROPS ARE GREAT

The seven days just pas have
made this the wettest June since
1872 and probably the period exceeds
even that year in moisture, and
marks the real break in a four-year
period of partial drought condition.
While the rainfall has seemed un-
precedented to those who have lived
here but a few years. old residents
tell of other seasons when the rains
equalled or exceeded those of the
present year.
The torrent of rain which fell in
this vicinity is of inestimsble value
to cultivated crops as well as to hay
and range. In some spots rain was
greatly needed, more especially along
the edges of the valley, while farther
out in the Vida, Sand Greek, Prairie
Elk, Kahle, Cottonwood, Volt and
Lustre communities crops were in
fine condition before the recent
rains. The succession of warm show
ers, unaccompanied by wind or hail
of any Importance, has put a new
face on the farming situation and
farmers and businessmen are conf
dent and rejoicing.
1t will be rather difficult to give
former residents of this country
full appreciation of the change that
has come. All cultivated soil is sat
urated with moisture to practically
any depth to which one wishes to
test it. Low spots are brimming with
water and frogs are giving con-
tinuous concert. J. B. Randall says.
that Carl Whitmus of the Southside
says he dug down four feet with a
post auger and found the ground just
as wet at the bottom as at the top.
A. F. Toavs of Volt says they dug a
hole three feet deep on his place
and found no bottom for the mois-
.are. Mr.. Toavs also says he had

CHARLES RAY IN
PEACEFUL VALLEY

Once more Charles Ray has DEM
onstrated in the delineation of So
called rube characters he is by far
the peer of all motion picture stars.
This time he proves his superior
talent as portrayer of "hick' parts
in a delightful celluloid version of
Sol Smith Russell's great stage hit,
Peaceful Valley" which is the at
traction at the Liberty theatre next
Thursday and Friday.
Ray takes the part of Hosiah
Howe, Woodworking farmer lad
of happy disposition, with a wild
owed mother and little sister to pro-
vide for. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that in this role he has contribut-
ed to the screen a character that
ranks as one of the most noteworthy
achievements of the silent drama.
Ward Andrews, handsome city
chap who lives by his wits, gets an
option on the unproductive Howe
farm when he realizes that it's nasty
tasting water will some day make
the owner wealthy. Attracted by
pretty little Martha Howe, he easily
turns the girls head and induces her
to elope with him.
Hosiah, in the meantime, has be-
come greatly infatuated with the
beautiful Virginia Rand, who is stop
ping at the nearby summer hotel with
her father. The embarrassing situa-
ton in church which results when
Hosiah's dog runs up the aisle with
a great rope dangling at his neck
only increases Virginia's interest in

Weather Traditions
Of course the old, old timers@the

to rs years ago, and the scions of
our first families who followed the
buffalo from its former haunts; and
the soldiers and the traders who fol-
lowed the buffalo folowers-a OBJ
served the weather from decade to
decade, but it was through casual in
terest and by unscientifc methods.
They recognized it as a freak that
would persue its own sweet will re-
gardless of what was said to or about
it. The snow of tough winter was
by the carcasses of range
cows that the spring revealed and
by the height of water when the
break up of the Missouri came. The
wetness of a summer was reckoned
by how high the grass reached on a
saddle pony.
So about the best we can do if
we want a real line on the weather
Of the past for our region is to stir
lp the memories of some of those
who were here when it happened.
One thing you will get out of this
process is the conviction that the last

Concern is felt over the grasshop-

have been taken for controlling the
pests. Bulletins sent out by d. B.
Noble, county agent, indicate that the
damage and danger of damage is
much greater in the central or east
ern parts of the county than around
here. 1t was reported that some of
the big fields of the Montana Farm
ing Corporation north of Poplar have
already been partly eaten.
Farmers in town Saturday com
pared notes. Several of them agreed
that the young hoppers were very
numerous on their places, but only
few reported actual damage. Mar

west, said they were eating alfalfa
on his place and had started on his
wheat Hadle Stolen and another
farmer, whose name was not learned.

the hoppers have begun work on their
grain fields. Many other farmers
have been interviewed this week, but
few of them had noticed damage and
some of them had not even noticed
the presence of grasshoppers in men
acing numbers.
Local Control Measures

HIT
THE TRAIL--SPLASH
HORRIBLE TALE OF SIX DAYS
IN AN OPEN "BOAT''-AL
TO THE RESCUE

Pathfnding under certain circum-
stances is a lively adventure. o. T.
Stennes and Grover Blake admit it.
Last Thursday, accompanied by their
wives and children, they left Wolf
Point for Circle and Miles City in the
role of pathfnders for the Moose
Jaw to the Gulf Powder River trail.
They made the trip to Miles and
back, but it took them few hours
over six days and they say there is
no powder left on the trail.
They arrived at Circle Thursday
evening, where an enthuiastic trail
meeting was held. The Circle busi-
ness men are anxious to do every
thing they can do to help the enter
prise along and will cooperate in the
work of marking the trail.
Find Much Interest
Friday the pathfnders went on to
Miles City and that evening another
good meeting took up the work. Mr..
Stennes says that there is no lack of
genuine interest and readiness to
give the project substantial support.
The Miles City people see the matter
in the right light and fully appre-
ciate its Importance to their town
and will do their full part in carry
ing the marking work on to the south.
Getting home was something diff
ferent and at a point % miles south
of Circle the car carrying the Wolf
Point party went to the bad entire
ly, ring gear being stripped as the
result of getting stuck.
The rains all over that part of the
country were something almost past
belief. Every little creek became a
raging torrent, and culverts, grades
and good sized steel bridges with
concrete abutments were torn out |
Mr.. Stennes says that he is sure that
Pueblo has nothing on that country
when it comes to floods.

The committee has already receiv-
ed assurance from a number of bus1-
ness houses that they will have floats.
Nor is it desired that the city alone
be represented. 1t is hoped that the
country people will take part also,
and farmers clubs are especially IN
vited to line up with the other COM
nounitv organizations. There are go
ing to be a~lot of clowns and other
features in the parade. 1t IS ex-
pected that the Indians with their
magnifcient costumes will be one OF
the most picturesque parts OF the

hest ever seen in Wolf Point. 1t
