START WORK ON 7. R.
HIGHWAY CONTRACT

J.. A. Fitzgerald, of the contracting
firm of Fitzgerald & Staunton, Great
Falls, vas here yesterday to make
preliminary arrangements for start
ing work on their contract for five
miles of construction work on the
t. R. highway a few miles east of
the city. His firm was awarded the
contract for both grading and surface
ing and to begin work at once.
He and Judge Gordon had a fine
time talking over the early days in
Great Falls. Contracts reminded
Judge Gordon of the time when the
town council of Great Falls decided
to build a board sidewalk along one
side of Central avenue. There was
much criticism of their action at the
time by those who claimed that the
prospects of the town didn't justify
any such expenditure.

MAKES THEM FEEL POLITE

The Quinn-Shepherdson Co., Min
neapoAs grain dealers, in sending
out their market report, recently, to
the Equity elevator of this city, typed
the following on the back of the card
"Our Aberdeen office wires today
that Worthwhile, S. D., reports first
t~hreshing, averaging 6 bushels per
acre of wheat, testing So pounds to
the bushel. When l think of the
yield, the cost of raising and the
price the farmer gets for his wheat,
/ can't help but think he is in about
the same position as the fellow who
was to be sentenced to be electro
cuted. They had him strapped in the
chair and as is customary, the sheriff
asked the prisoner if he had any
parting message to leave. Eyes"
he replied, 81 think I should get up
and let some lady have my seat"
Unless conditions change, the farmer
will have to "get up and let somebody
else have his seat" or be financially
electrocutetd. Most of them have
had about all the voltage they can
stand already. The farm problem is
a big one-too big for tin-horn poll
ticians to handle. Farm depression
has run its course. Any change must
be for the better.

BLIND MAN MAKES
AND MARKETS BROOMS

G. D. Kaufman of Williston. one
of the most remarkable blind men to
be found any place, spent the day
here Tuesday marketing brooms
made by himself at his little factory
at his bachelor home.
Mr.. Kaufman is totally blind and
has been for forty years, but is prac-
tically independent of assistance. He
travels alone either on foot or train
and makes his way about in strange
towns with surprising facility. He
is a student of no small accomplish
ments. BY securing books from Ii
braries maintained for the blind he
keeps in touch with many of the
leading topics of the day, political,
religious and scientific. He has a
clear and concise memory of what he
reads. He writes either on the type
writer OF by means of the New York
point system, designed for the blind.
The fortitude of people handicap
ped as is Mr.. Kaufman should put to
shame the beggars and boes, in pos
session of their faculties, who become
parasites on good-natured, sympa-
thetic humanity.
A spirit of optimism pervades his
conversation, and one listening to
his spirited opinions on the political
questions of the day would not sus-
oect that he could not see. He does
lot refer to his misfortune unless
Questioned about it and in marketing
lis brooms does so on their merits,
md does not attempt to play upon
he sympathies of his customer.

WRITES ON RUSSIA

The extent to which soviet Russia

a current issue of Pictorial Soviet
Russia, published in this country, con
tains a descriptive article by Char
lotte Mcdonald, who, in all probahil-
ity, is Mrs. J. E. Mcdonald, formerly
a resident of this city. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mcdonald after leaving here about
two years ago went to their home
stead near Chinook and later to the
coast. In the early part of last sum-
mer they came back through Wolf

VIDA COMMUNITY HAS
COMPLETED FINE HALL

The progressive people of the
Vida vicinity, through their organi-
cation, have finished improvements
and enlargemelts to their commun-
lty hall that surely make it the finest
building devoted to this purpose to
be found in any rural community for
a long distance around. They have
had a good hall for a number of
years, but the remodeled and improv-
ed structure bears little resemblance
to the old one.
The hall, as now finished, is 30x9O
feet on the main floor with a 9-foot
basement Boxes feet beneath it. The
building will be electric lighted and
furnace heated. 1t has a rest room,
cloak room and smoking room. The
basement is fitted up for cooking and
serving refreshments. The building
is adapted to and will be used for
a multitude of useful purposes, pub
lie meetings, farm bureau meetings,
dances, lodge rooms, club work, gym
nasium, school entertainments and
notion picture shows.
Grand Opening 25th
Saturday, August 25ht, will mark
he grand opening of this splendid
lew hall, and a big opening dance
las been advertised with the famous
ida Syncopators to furnish the mu-
ic. The occasion is certain to at
ract an immense crowd. Many peo- +:
lie of this city are planning to at t
end. i
The Vida people have every reason
t be proud of their community hall /
nd will realize profitable returns /
'om their investment in the way of |
le higher standard of community in r
rests and good times. c

CHICAGO, Feb. 6. - Likelihood or peace between Great Britain .tnd Fur- key carried prices downward n the grain markets today. Wheat closed heavy E to 1 1sc net lower, with May s11S3s to $1.1Sk, and July $1.14A to S1132s. Corn lost F to 1%c, and oats %c to 7sc. In provis- ions, the outcome ranged from Pc cents decline to F cents advance.
 Wheat showed some weakn's 'ss at the outset, but it was only toward the end of the day that the market underwent a decided fall. During the earlier dealings many traders seemed to be in doubt as to whether peace talk had any substantial basis. Later dispatches, however, were definite enough to bring about general sell ing.
 Liberal enlargement of the U. S. visible supply total together with continued absence of new export business acted further as a weight on values in the wheat market. On the other hand, primary receipts to- day were smaller than a week ago and as compared with last year's figures.
 Notwithstanding that new high price record for the season was touched in the corn market today by July and September, declines in sym pathy with wheat were the rule. Ad- verse crop news from Argentina failed as a counter balance. Oats fol- lowed corn.
 An upturn in the hog market made provisions average higher.
