new MODEL FORDS
ON DISPLAY HERE
First OF New Cars To Arrive Being
Shown At j. Milton Clogg's
Display Rooms

The first of the new type Ford cars
which recently arrived in this city
are now on display at the show room
of J. Milton Clogg local Ford dealer.
The higher radiator, now standard
in all Ford types, has brought gen.
eral improvement throughout the en-
tire line and the new radiator apron
blending with similar apron effects on
the tenders gives the front of the
car highly finished appearance.
The Touring car shows decided
improvement having more stream
line effect. I tbs lower in appear
ance, feature adding much to the
attractiveness of the slanting wind
shield and one-man top.
The Ford Runabout is likewise
much improved and looks more
sturdy.
The Coupe is entirely new in body
design and construction. There is a
more trim exterior appearance, more
comfortable seating arrangement and
greater luggage carrying capacity.
From the dash there is a graceful
sweep in the cowl to the radiator. The
doors are wide and heavily framed.
A larger compartment at the rear
gives increased room for luggage and
the new type fender is more secure.
Ventilator in the cowl and visor ov-
er windshield add to the exterior ap-
pearanec, effecting high quality ass
,pect. n
Interior arrangement is most con-
venient and the upholstery is choice.
The seat is deeply cushioned and the
cushions are divided making It easy
for filing the gasoline tank which is
under the seat. A small recess shelf
at the rear Of the seat is handy for
small parcels. The door windows are
equipped with revolving type window
regulators permitting any desired
ventilation. Doors are provided with
locks. !.
The higher radiator has greatly en-
HANGED the beauty of the Ford Four
Door Sedan. This car, highly popu-
lar since its introduction a year ago
because of it's low, graceful lines, now
presents a more sturdy appearance.
Another feature coming as the re-
suit Of the change made in the front
of the car, including larger cowl, radi-
ator and hood, is that occupants Of
the front seat are afforded more space
thus insuring added riding comfort.
Many other little improvements and
refinennents are noticeable including
revolving type window regulators for
all door windows and dome light
for Illuminating the interior.
The new cars will be on display at
the show rooms Of J. Milton Clogg
for the next few days.

While the price of food was rising
in most of the large cities between
April Is and May Is, as reported by
the Bureau Of Labor Statistics of the
Department of Labor, the prices of
most of the principal agricultural
products were steadily declining. The
farmer was reaping no benefit from
the upward range of prices for what
in large part he had produced.
In the middle of the present month
(June) hogs sold for less money than
they had brought to the producer
since 1912, when the Taft (Repub'
lican) administration was in power
Wheat and ot:le, crops have been
dropping in price for two years-eve,
s:lce the Especial agricultural tariff
was enacted by the Republican Con-
gress in 1921.
Last years potatoes sold. at the
farm for an average of 60 cents q
bushel, according to the Department
Of Agriculture, but the consumer. in
the cities had to pay never less than
twice that much for them.

EASTERN SHORE
WINS BUT FIGHT
Public Service Commission Has Not
Authorized Any Statement That
Permit Would Be Revoked

Easton, Nd, Sept. 1.-THE senti-
ment of the Eastern Shore counties a
gainst the notice given by the Public
Service Commission that a permit for
the operation of bus lines between
Easton and Claiborne will not be re-
newed after December 81 is still con-
demnatory Of the Commission.
The Commissions action was taken
because the bus line runs parallel with
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Allan
tic Railroad. It is said that the bus
line while it may take away some of
the passengers from the railroad ow-
ing to their schedule, also helps the
railroad by bringing trade to it which
it would not otherwise obtain, as it
has opened up virtually isolated
country. By shutting off the route
from Easton to Claiborne, it is point
ed out, much hardship would be SUI
fered by persons living in Talbot,
Caroline, Dorchester, and Wicomico
counties, should they wish to go to
Baltimore, Washington, and An
napolis.
Fred Harper and A. Seymour, both
of Royal Oak, say the Railroad is
more than a mile from their town.
The State Roads Commission already
has taken the State road away from
Royal Oak, and if the bus line also is
forced to quit that historic town will
be "as dead as a door NAIL"
William Mines Maloy, of Balti-
more, president of the Public Service
Commission, has declared that the
Commission has not authorized any
statement that the bus lines permit
would be revoked. He said that the
Commission had granted the Shore
Transit Company franchises to oper-
ate buses between Elktor and Sails
bury by way of Church Hill, Denton
\ and fredericksburg, also by way of
Centerville and Easton, and from
Chestertown to Rock Hall Ferry. At
this time the only question, he said,
is the ID miles from Easton to Clai-
borne. >.
Commissioner Maloy said that the
Commission would not order the buses
continued until it had given the peo-
pie of the Eastern Shore an oppor-
tunity to be heard and not until it had
consulted with the State Senator OF
each county through which the bus
line operates.
He also asserted that before the
permit renewal was refused the rail.
road company would have to insure
as good facilities for transportation
by the railroad as by the buses, and
that the railroad would be compelled
to have trains meet every boat during
the day at Claiborne. If such guar.
antee was not given, Maloy continued,
the bus line would be allowed to con-
tinue.

AGRICULTURE

/ AS an. answer to President Hard.
Iing's statement in his speech al
Hutchinson, Kansas, that "the combi-
nation Of effective protection, easier
credits, and the operation of the War
Finance Corporation quickly arrested
this downward trend (of prices of
farm products) and started agricul-
ture on the upgrade once more, .
comes the appeal Of the Farm Bureau
Federation for some sort of govern
mental help to stabilize wheat and
fgive the grower fair return for his
labor and investment. The price of
wheat at the farm now is averaging
about 10 cents bushel-signifcantly
less than the cost of production.
The protection" given to American
agriculture consisted of the Special
tariff approved May 81, 1921, and the
Fordney- Nc umber law of last Sep
tember. Wheat was selling in Chica-
go at an average of $1.68 a bushel
(for No. hard winter) on the day
the special" tariff was signed by the
President. On May 81, 1928, wheat
sold in Chicago for SLIT bushel.
And for the last two years the duty
on wheat has not been lower than 80
cents bushell
The "protectiony given to meats
has been almost as futile as a stimu-
lsnt to prices as the duty on wheat.
According to the Department of Ag-
rculture, the prices Of hogs, cattle,
sheep, and chickens were 1919 per
cent lower on May Is, 1929, than
they were on May Is, 1922, before the
Fordney- Nc umber act was passed,
With it's duties of from SO cents to Sc
d hundred weight on these animals
and fowls and on their meats. At the
same time retail prices which con-
sumers had to pay were higher than
they were a year ago.
Wool received protection" in the
form Of duty Of 81 cents a secured
pound-the rate fixed by the Fordney-
McCumber profteers' tariff last Sep
TENDER. The Department of Agricul-
ture reports that producers of wool
are unable to get fair return for
their product and that "buyers indi-
cate that their ideas of values are 10
cents. pound lower than the prices
paid at recent sales" Thirty cents a
pound has been offered for lambs
wool in the West, the Department Of
Agriculture states in a recent bull
letin.
While the wool growers face an un-
profitable market and further recess
sion in the value Of their product, the.
Wool Trust is increasing the prices
Of its output. President William
Wood of the American Wooden Com
rany declares that "very much higher
prices" for wooden goods are in pros
pect, and are even now being quoted.
The Republican tariffs have been Of
little worth to the American farmer,
hut have compelled him to pay $780,
100000 year more for what he buys
than it has given him in higher prices
for what he has to sell, according to
expert economists Of the Farm Blu
reau Federation.
As for the "easier credits" that
have been provided for agriculture,
the farmers answer is that he is look
ing for a device to get him out Of
debt, not receipt fore making his
indebtedness heavier.

PLANS MATURING FOR
BOYS CAMP JULY 25-27

The date of the Roosevelt county
Daniels county and Sheridan county
Boys Camp is July 25th to 9th in
elusive and will be held at Poplar at
the Indian school, the same as last
year.
An elaborate program in corn and
hog judging will be furnished for
the boys together with a we'll balanc-
ed program of fun. The Indian
school has at the present time a large
number of high class hogs to work
with, modern and improved methods
of handling them and one of the corn
variety tests is being conducted just
across the road from the school
which will also give the boys some
very practical Information in corn
raising.
1t is expected that most of the 81
boys in Roosevelt county entered in
the two clubs will be in attendance
at this camp.
Recent information from the state
club leaders office is to the effect
that Coach o. G. Ramney will be
present at that time and will take
charge of the physical education part
of the camp as well as the sports.

HOW MISSOURI GOT ITS NAME

raymond w. Thorp in Adventure
In 1912 Missouri got its name from
the fact that a tribe of Indians known
as .'Missouris" inhabited the country
at the rivers mouth, the same prob
ably now embraced within the limits
of St. Louis county.
Missouri done not and never did
properly mean muddy Water but
wooden Canoe" The name Mis-
souris or Missouri was originally ap-
piled by the Indians living west of the
Mississippi and along the shores of
the Missouri. The term meant ''the
people who use wooden canoes"
The Lake Michigan Indians used
birchbark canoes, as did Marquette
and Joliet in their descent of the Wis
consin to the Conception" while the
Indians on the muddy river used ca
noes dug out of logs because the
birchbark canoes were too frail for
the navigation of the turbulent stream
The first reference to the Missouri
tribe of Indians made by a European
was by Marquette in a letter written
in 1870 to La Nicer, his Father Su-
p%eriOr, as Indians "who use canoes of
wood" On Marquette's map appear
the name and location of the "Ou
Measure"

CORN ACREAGE DOUBLE
THAT OF LAST YEAR

Returns have not been made from
all communities but from a survey
of the communities that have report
ed the corn acreage, it is believed the
average will run up to about three
hundred acres for the % communities
in Roosevelt county, which will give
a total of about eleven thousand acres
of corn planted this year.
Eleven thousand acres of corn is
certainly a credit to any county and
undoubtedly a big step to permanent
agriculture for this section which
will undoubtedly put us in the same
classification with highly developed
agricultural sections of the United
States. Eleven thousand acres of
corn means eleven thousand acres of
summer titled ground and will mean
eleven thousand acres of properly
prepared wheat land next year which
will undoubtedly mean IN insurance
of a crop on that eleven thousand
acres. Eleven thousand acres of o
also means an increase of six to eight
thousand acres over last year. The
years 1924 nd 1925 will prove the
of our corn campaign and corr

FORMER WOLF POINT GIRL
MARRIED TO FROID MAN

Friends of Miss Ethel Gebhart,
who formerly made her home here
and who graduated from the Wolf
Point high school in the class of 81,
will be interested in the following
account of her wedding, taken from
the Plentywood Producers News:
Ben Luebke of Froid and Miss Eth
ell Gebhardt of Plentywood, just put
one over on their friends and rela-
tives in Plentywood and were mar
ried right under their noses at the
court house today at a few minutes
after twelve and made their get away
on the train without being found out
for a couple of hours after they had
left and it was lucky that they did,
for all of the entertainment that had
been planned for the young people,
would be hard to relate.
Mr.. Luebke, the groom, is a pop
ular young man from Froid, who has
grown to young manhood on a farm
that vicinity and is indeed a very
fine young man. Miss Ethel Geb-
nardt is the stenographer in the of
ice of County superintendent Emma
and the daughter of Mr.. Geo.
.ebhardt of Wolf Point and the sister
If Mrs. A. J. Moore of Plentywood.
The young lady has resided in Plenty
wood for about a year and has made
host of friends here. Prior to COM

Saturday in Divide community at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Trenne. The
picnic was given by the losing side
in a membership campaign and was

WHERE FLIES ARE THICK
LOOK OUT FOR MICROBES

Naturalists tell US of a bird that
rides on the back of the rhinoceros
as the huge beast feeds through the
jungle marshes, and when an enemy
approaches the bird sounds the al
arm and the rhinoceros dashes away
to safety. Strange as it might seem,
the common house fly has endeavored
for centuries to warn man of the in
visible germs in decaying organic
matter, but unlike the rhinoceros,
man ignores the warning. The fly
himself is not dangerous-it's the
company he keeps. No doubt a fly
is constantly fighting microbes as a
dag fights feas. But even a fly must
live, and man in his carelessness pro-
vides for the flies. The average town
has enough open toilets and manure
piles so that the flies have not known
a hard year 'since the white man

MAUDE HENDERSON co.
COMING HERE JUNE IA

The Maude Henderson Company,
so well known to the theatre patrons
of this city, appears in a new depart
ure. They will be here for one solid
week, opening Thursday, June IA,
in a series of plays new to this COM
munity, opening Thursday night with
the comedy drama Putting 1t Over"
This is the same old company well
known to everybody in the surround
ing territory with a few new men,
bers.
The scenes in Putting 1t Over
are laid in Yuma, Arizona. The
story of a young engineer superin-
tending the construction of a gov
eminent dam. He is at the mecy of
grating contractors and is forced to
receive inferior materials and o. k,
them to the government.
Fearing the consequences of the
crooked dealing he fled with his
sweetheart. That same night a burg
lar enters the apartment of Mr..
Browne, the engineer, Having seen
his resemblance to the engineer is
so striking he is mistaken for him.
Under these conditions he ssumes
the name of Mr.. Browne and being
somewhat of an engineer, finishes the
dam, fighting the contractors all the
way.
The following complications must
be seen to be appreciated. A strain
of comedy runs through the entire
play keeping the audience amused
from the start.
Vaudeville will be introduced as
usual. :

COLD LIGHT NOT UNUSUAL
Nature Has Produced 1t, but Sclen-
lists Admit 1t Has Been Beyond
Their Powers.

Prof. e. Newton Harvey of Prince
ton, who published a book on cold
light in 1920 and who is continuing
his studies, is not yet ready to admit
that science has made much progress
in that direction, remarks the Indian
apolis News. Science knows that some
bacteria, insects and fish give off a
light that has practically no heat. Get
ting enough of this material to deter
mine it's composition, and then to man
ufacture 1t is a dream Of everyone
connected with such Investigations,
but so far the experiments have not
been successful. Firef1ies, squids that
generate a pale-blue light, and other
creatures that are luminous at night
are under examination. Professor
Harvey went to Japan, where he
studied ~irefiies by thousands. There
he found a small crablike form, abOut
one-eighth Of an inch long, with a BIZ
valve shell something like a clam.
This sea creature, called cyprindina,
has a large gland near It's mouth
which serve as the generating station
for a cold blush light. Professor Har-
vey also found a luminous centipede,
but most of his attention has been
given to cyprindina, Of which he
brought home specimens to be used in
further experiments. Hf crushed hun
dreds of dried ~cyprindi-ds in a NOR
tar. When water was added a blue
light was seen. Tests with a delicate
thermometer showed a rise in tenn
perature of less thar one-thOusandth
of a degree. Here was a substance
that gave light with practically no
heat. As yet Professor Harvey has
beer unable to determine its chemical
content. Other investigators also have
failed to solve the problem. Discovery
of a way to make cold light would
have tremendous commercial posi-
bility.
