coming over 10000 strong with their
baseball team prepared to wrest the

to Dooley the ball tossers from that
city are going to see that it is done.
The Plentywood team is sitting on
the lid and are confident that they
will be the winners in this initial
struggle with Dooley, but they also
recognize that there is many a slip
betwixt the cup and the lip and they
are preparing for a strong battle.
Everybody will be out to see the

their moneys worth in thrills and ex-
citement.
The biggest crowd of the season

WEDDING BELLS
Ben Leubke and Ethel Gebhardt Mar
red Today at Noon By Rev. Boone
in Clerk of Courts Office.
PUT IT OVER ON FRIENDS

Ben Luebke of Froid and Miss Eth
el Gebhardt Of Plentywood just put
one over on their friends and rela-
tives in Plentywood and were mar
fied 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 of all the entertainment that had
been planned for the young people, it
would be hard to relate.
Mr. Luebke, the groom, is a pOpu-
lar young man Of Froid. who has
grown to young manhood on a farm
in that vicinity and is indeed a very
fine young man. Miss Ethel Geb-
hardt is the stenographer in the Of
/ fee of County Supt. Emma CrOne,
and the daughter of Mr.. George Geb-
hardt of Wolf Point and the sister
of Mrs. Ashton J. Moore of Plenty
wood The young lady has resided
in Plentywood for about year and
has made a host of friends here.
Prior to coming to Plentywood she
taught in the public schools at Froid
where she met the young man who is
now her husband.
The young people will spend their
honeymoon on a trip to the west, just
how and where they did not disclose,
nor have they told what their future
plans are or when they will be at
home to their friends.
Needless to say the young people
of Plentywood have the muskets all
reacy and waiting for them to show
up IN this city.

Says He Has Troubles Enough in
Field OF Present Activity and That
Amy One of Three Other Candidates
Are Well Qualified.

In a communication from Arthur
Rueber in reference to the election of
the Director from this District for
the Montana Wheat Growers Associ-
ated, which is now in process, he an
nOunces that he has withdrawn his
name as a candidate for that position,
because of the fact that he has plenty
of business to look after in his present
position and because of the further
fact that either of the three remaining
candidates are splendidly qualified for
the position. The three men who have
been announced as nominees in the re-
cent primaries conducted by the Mon
tana Wheat Growers Associated are
Arthur Rueber of Plentywood, Clair
Stoner and Art Ueland of Outlook, of
Sheridan County, and B. d. Temple
man of Madoc, Daniels county. There
are three counties in this District this
year: namely, Daniels and Sheridan
| County, Montana and Divide County,
North Dakota.
The ballots for the final election
are now out and the members are vOt-
ing for member to act as director
for the ensuing year. The candidate
receiving the largest number of votes
will be declared elected.
This office is very important one
and every member of the Pool should
give it his most careful attention.
Ten directors are elected from the
ten districts of the state and the
eleventh director is appointed by the
State Agricultural college at BoZeman.
The Montana Wheat Growers Associ-
ated is growing rapidly, in fact by
leaps and bounds and it is thought
that by harvest this year that nearly
half of the wheat producers in the
state will be in the pool.

CITY WANTS MORE
ELECTRIC LIGHTS

A movement has been started in
Plentvwood looking towards the erec-
tion of more lights in the city, with
an idea of both accommodating the pub
lie on dark nights and affecting better
protection for he town. Plentywo1od
Is very poorly lighted outside of main
street which is very shOwily lighted
b11t in the residence parts of the town
there is practically no lights at all and
people often going home can hardly
find their way in the dark. The mat
ter of arch lights for several dark
corners was taken up by the city coun-
Gil at the last meeting and as result
there may be a better lighting system
worked out for the town shortly. The
public hopes so.

5O,OOO,OOO BUSHEL
WHEAT CROP in 1922
New Figures Based on Actual Car
LOadings Increase Former Estimate
By More Than 100000 Bushels.

Helena, May 24.-Based upon the
record of shipments of wheat made
by the various railroads operating in
Montana between September 1, 1922,
and April 80, 1923 Montana's wheat
production for the year 1922 was ap-
proximately 50,OOO,OOO bushels. This
estimate is made by V. E. William,
senior inspector of the Montana rail-
road commission. Basing his esti-
mates upon the hauls made in that
period on the various lines Mr.. Viii
hams figures show that by the time
all of the 1922 wheat will have been
marketed it will be handled by the
various railroads in quantities as fol-

While the state department of agri-
culture some time ago estimated the
1922 wheat crop at approximately,
4O,37O,O 900 bushels, the higher figure
found by the state railroad commits
sion seems more accurate, after fair
ANALYSIS of the facts, and the written
reports of carload shipments furnishe-
ed bv the carriers and in possession
of the commission. With the excep-
tion of the Northern Pacific, the 500
Line. the Oregon Short Line, and the
White Sulphur Springs & Yellowstone
Park which have, up to this date fail
ed to file their monthly commodity re-
mort for April, 1923, there was shipped
up to April 80, 1923, by the different
railroads 26,884 cars of wheat or
about 38,444 ,120 bushels, figuring an
average of 1920 bushels to the car
an actual loading figure secured from
+he study of all wheat loading for the
} season. When there is added to this
/ actuaI figure of 38, ,444, ,120 bushels, al
ready moved by the carrier out Of the
1929 crop, the wheat moving in April
on the lines of the carriers not report
ting for that month, and IN addition
2 ZOO. 900 bushels being wheat retained
for 1923 seeding, Con basis of one
busheI per acre and assuming that the
wheat acreage for 1923 will equal that
/ Of 1927 and lastly 8,8O6,644 bushels
as a conservative estimate of wheat
remaining in the elevators, in the
hands of growers, the figure Of 49,
$50 1854 bushels seems conservative, Mr.
William believes.
: When it is recalled that during th'
: months Of May, June, July and Aug
; ust. 1922. 4,393 cars of wheat, O
: about 6,281 900 bushels of the 1872

: it IS safe to assume that the percent
