SUDDEN DEATH OF
MRS. ABRAHAM RATZLAFF

Mrs. Abraham Ratzlaff, living
northwest of Oswego, was stricken
with an attack Of heart failure Fri
day of last week and died within a
very short time. The aged lady, ac-
companied by her husband and
daughter, Annie, were on their way
home from a visit with n~eighbors
when the attack came. At the Abe
Faust home she complained of hav-
ing pains in the back of her neck,
which later migrated to the heart,
death followed in a few minutes. Her
last words were, "My God, what is
the matter with me?" =
The deceased was 81 years of age,
but had always enjoyed good health
and her condition on Friday was APP
parently the SAME as usual. Funeral
services were conducted at the home
and the body laid to rest in the John
j. Thiessen cemetery southwest of

friends and still live up to it's own
rules. The Herald did not invent the
rule that all advertisements and

rule which some other editor of the
remote past had laid down. And be-
cause of the rule, here is our trouble
An ad has been received that we'd
like to publish. First, we'd like to
credit in the two-bits the publication

LOCAL CROPS AND
COUNTRY ARE BEST

Ray Wentz, who with Mrs. Wentz
and Mr.. and Mrs. c.. G. Thompson
made an auto tour to the famous oil
fields, returning last week, says that
Wolf Point and the Wolf Point coun-
try looks better to them than ever.
No country that they visited with the
exception of Judith Basin compares
to it.
They went from Wolf Point to
Havre and made a circuit that took
them by way of Great Falls, Lewis
ton, Winnett, Mosbv, Jordan and
Circle. The Judith Basin is a fine
country and has a splendid crop anil
Lewistown is a nice town, but Mr..
Wentz says that according to the
word of former Wolf Pointers who
are now in Winnett, business has
taken a decided slump there. They
have the oil wells and the oil all right
but that's about all there is it it.
The crops are very short. They did
not see much grain of any kind until
they got back into the fine fields to
be seen all through McCone county.
He confirms the story that water is
worth more per barrel than oil at
Winnett.

500 will not produce any more corn
if the owner suddenly advances the
value, or paper, to 5000. Neither
is the productive capacity of the
farms of the United States increased
117.6 per cent over that of 1910 by
this imitation of value. This present
valuation is unreal unless it can be
supported by a return that has rela-
lively increased in value. Produc-
ton and farm prices together can
not show such an increased return.
"There was a time since the war
when wheat reached $3.50, corn
$2.31A and oats $3.50 a bushel, ard
live hogs went up to $3.50. Appar-
emily, there was no limit to prices.
But how can the purchaser of farm
lands on such a basis be contented
with wheat at S1.30, corn at Csc
and oats at 40c a bushel, and hogs
about SO per hundred pounds?
Lands purchased on such an inflated
basis will not pay interest. Yet many
farms were purchased on such a fool
ish valuation, and many more were
leased for terms of years on a rent
al that required inflated prices to
make a return.
"The mortgage figures are inter
In 1910 they amounted to
81, 1926, 900, 1000 and in 1920 were
doomed up to $4,012,0 O0, 900, an in
of 1925 per cent. The west
and the south are the sections that
have increased their debts in the
proportion. 1t is a serious
matter to consider that agriculture
has burdened itself with an increase
of 1925 per cent in mortgage indebt-
edness without a corresponding bene-
fit. 1t is the old, old story of buying
at the top and selling at the bottom.
