HIGH SCHOOL HOLDS
ALUMNI TO 60 SCORE

The High School lost their annual
Thanksgiving Day gridiron scrap with
the Alumni by 6 to o. The High
School boys were outweighed at least
twenty pounds a man and that was by
seasoned players for nearly every one
had been playing with other teams all
the season. When it came to the play
ing of the game with tactics the High
School did far greater and cleaner
playing than the Alumni. In fact,
there is still marveling at the grit and
perseverance the lads made against
such odds.
Early in the game "Oc" Hunt did
most of the gaining for he would
travel about ten yards before enough
of the High School boys had hold of
him to stop his 220 pounds. Johnny
Dutton, who was next to Julian Price
in open field running for the day, scor-
ed the only touchdown after "Oc" had
done most of the gaining.
Later the High eleven did the star
playing of the game and held the
Alumni for downs on the five yard line
and Immediately pulled off a forty
yard forward pass from Price to
Wright.
Near the end of the game Dutton
made a seventy-fve yard run for a
touchdown but was called back be-
cause Price while running after him
was tripped. -,
Jimmy Blasioli refereed and he did
it well except that he let the Alumni
be too careless with the careless play
;pr of yarv moor craftsmanship.

BIG RESULTS FROM
SUMMER FALL0WING

O. B. Horsford of the Southside
is an active and successful member
of the summerfallow club and his
faith in that method of raising wheat
has been strengthened by his exper-
fence of this season. He signed up
last year for 100 acres of summer
fallow.
For the purpose of entering the
prize competition for the best sum-
mer fallow yields in this district,
Mr.. Horsford cut and threshed "a
acres of marquis separate from the
rest. 1t yielded 835 bushels or "a u
bushels to the acre and is of excell-
ent quality.
The yield from the full 100 acres
was 2O06 bushels making an average
of 20 bushels.
Mr.. Horsford says that he sum-
mer titled the ground with a home
made rod weeder which cost him only
a few dollars in cash. He expects
to find a market for a large part of
this marquis as seed wheat and al
ready has several applications.

Washington, Oct. 22.-Crop con-
itions in Montana are taking a more
favorable turn, President Coolidge
was assured by Leon Shaw, general
manager of the Billings Gazette. Mr..
Shaw, who has been in the east on
a business trip, pointed out that the
Montana wheat crop this year will
amount to 1000, 900 bushels, as
compared to 10000, 900 bushels in
1922.
The situation in Montana is not
different from that of other states
of the northwest, President Coolidge
was told by Mr.. Shaw and Julius
Barnes, president of the chamber of
commerce of the United States. Mr..
Barnes laid before Mr.. Coolidge a
compilation of reports to show that
steadily increased buying owe of
the country's urban population is
having its effect upon the condition
of the farmers.
Business conditions throughout
the country are on a fairly stable
basis, except for the existence of
two "sore spots" according to Her
bert Hoover, secretary of commerce.
One of these is due to the low price
being paid for grain in the west,
the other to the unsettled condition
resulting from tn international un-
settlement involved in the French
German struggle.
Notwithstanding tba arao in
which stability exists is much greater
so far as the United States is con
cerned, than that which is effected
by either German conditions or the
grain growers plight" secretary
Hoover said.
General satisfaction is expressed
with the course of President Coo
lidge in sending Eugene Meyer and
Frank w. Mondell of the War FL
hence corporation into the northwest
