Fear of sugar shortage in mid
summer, which led to temporary
era of heavy speculation in sugar fu-
lures, proved to be unfounded Sugar
producing companies succeeded in
recouping some of the heavy post
war losses, dividends being resumed
in few cases.
Cotton prices reached the highest
levels in more than three years on a
shortage in the crop, due primarily to
the rayages of the boil -weevil. I'm
seasonable weather and a. heavy. de-
mand for the raw product were other
contributory causes to the higher
prices.
Mail OOrder Houses Prosper
Relatively low wheat prices, due to
a reduction in export demand, over
production and Increased competi-
tion by Canadian growers, led to sug-
gestions of reduced freight rates on
grain for export by President Cool
idge and prominent western legisla-
tors. Other farm products showed
material increases in value, particu-
larly corn.
Mail Order houses and chain stores
did a record breaking business. How
ever, the leather, rubber, chemical,
shipping and motion picture indus
tries had periods of depression from
which they had not fully recovered at
the end of the year.
Considerable interest was aroused
in financial and business circles in
the closing weeks of the year by Sec
retary Mellon's recommendations for
a reduction in income taxes, which
was endorsed by President Collidge
in his first message to congress. The
belief was widely held that the re-
ductions proposed would do much to
stimulate business activity in the
coming year.

He looked up to find her eyes full
upon him. He had never seer such
eyes. They seemed to have sunk so
deep into the flesh about them that
only lurid Sits remained. 1t was not that
her lids were partsy down. Rather
1t was because the fesh-sacks beneath
them had become charged with her
pounding blood. The fires glow was
in them and cast q strange glamor
upon her face. 1t only added to the
strancenesS of the picture that she
sat almost limp, rather than leaning
forward in appeal. Bruce looked at
her in growing awe.
But as the seconds passed he seemed
no longer able TO see her plainly. His
eyes were misted and blurred. but
they were empty Of tears as Linda's
own. Rather the focal point of his
brain had become scared by a mount
ing flame within himself. The glow
of the fire had seemingly spread until
1t encompassed the whole wilderness
world.
"What is the one thing that re-
malns?" he asked her, whispering.
She answered with a strange, ter
rible GOODNESS Of tone. "The blood

drawn lips.

Listerud-Montgomery

Morris B. Listerud and Grace M.
Montgomery were married Friday,
July 18th. at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Otis A. Hallett at Glasgow
The ceremony was performed by Rev..
Pippy of the Methodist Episcopal
church at 1000 a. ma The only rel
atives present were Misses Genevieve.
and Isabel Montgomery, sisters of
the bride, and Miss Edna Listerud,
a sister Of the groom.
A four-course dinner was served
for the party at the Alsop Cafe. The
bride and groom returned here by
train Saturday morning.
These young people are so well
known in the community and so uni
versally popular that it seems almost
out Of place to recite the reasons.
Mr.. Listerud, one of the most sue
cessful of the younger business men
of the city, has resided here since
1910. He is an ex-service man and
prominent in the local Legion post.
He has been associated with his
father in the management of the
Listerud Power Company, and has re-
Gently entered in business for him
self.
The bride has resided here since
1914 and is possessed Of charm and
many excellent traits of character.
She has been especially active in mu-
sical circles. She is the daughter of
Joseph Montgomery and has several
brothers and sisters in this and near
by communities.
The enthusiastic and noisy welcome
that was given them by numerous
young men friends was merely a
Of the congratulations and
good wishes that are extended to
them by all. Mr.. and Mrs. Listerud
have set up housekeeping in the resi-
ience recently occupied by Mr.. and

SUCCESSOR TO KNUTE NELSON
CHOSEN AT SPECIAL
ELECTION, 10TH
minneapolis Tribune, July 17)

minneapolis Tribune, July I'D
Magnus Johnson of Kimball, Far
mer-L r-Laborite, will take the place in
the United States Senate left vacant
by the death of Knute Nelson.
In the special election held Mon
day, johnson swept the state, defeat
ing Governor Preus, Republican, by
an overwhelming majority. James
A. Carley, Democrat, polled only a
negligible vote.
johnson Lead Nearly $4,000
The johnson lead over Governor
Preus in 1927 out of the $500 pre-
cincts in the state was nearly 25,-
600. That means that his final lead
will probably be in excess of $4,000
votes. 1t may run even higher than
that when all the votes are in.
Within two hours from the time
the polls lad closed the result had
been determined Minneapolis gave
Preus but 2 very narrow lead where
he had been expected to pile up
big majority. Returns from every
congressional district only added to
the rapidly mounting Johnson lead.
Preus Comedies Election
Governor Preus, at midnight, con-
ceded the election of his opponent.
an conceding the election of Mr.
johnson, l want to thank the many
people who supported me-" said the
governor.
Maenus Johnson, successful nomi-
nee. who was in Minneapolis receiv-
10 the returns, was elated over the
results. He said he was going back
to the farm to help with the haying
and then would devote himself to a
study of the work he had to do.
Magnus johnson is the second Far
senator to go to the United
States senate from Minnesota. Dr.
Henrik Shipstead was elected last fall

WHITEHALL RANCHER
HOLDS UP RAILROAD
"HOMINY" THOMPSON BECOMES
THE JOHN DIETZ OF DAN
IELS COUNTY

The following story of the dra-
matte actions of a rancher near
Whitehall, Daniels county, is reprint
led from the Scobey Sentinel:
'Hominy' Thompson. a rancher
who settled in the Whitehall country
away back in about 1896 or 1897,
Tuesday morning of this week moved
his house and home out on the tracks
about four miles east of Whitehall,
tore up six of the rails and then
took up his vigil on the bank with his
trusty Winchester.
"The incoming passenger train was
forced to back up to Kenmare, the
nearest turning point and passengers
to and from Whitehall are now oblig-
ed to make the four miles trip by
stage Freights now come just as
far as Daleview.
"wednesday morning it was found
that Thompson had cut the company's
communicating wires and had turn
ed his irrigating ditch into the right
of way Several men have been over
and taken pictures of this modern
John Dietz of Cameron Dam fame
and he laughs and offers no objec-
tions but no one may come near him.
"The roadmaster made trip to
the scene, wanting an interview.
After he had looked down the busi-
ness end of the Winchester he with
drew and stated that he had seen
enough to satisfy him and that he
would let someone more courageous
than himself try next time.
Thompson gives as his reason that
the 500 Company has never settled
for the n eht of way, that he never
gave any deed for it and still owns
it and that he viii hold it until the
company settles.
sold timers who have known Hon
my for the past 25 years state that
there is some merit to his claim. They
state that at one time the deal was
Jack Wagner sitting as
one of the arbitrators, and that both
Thompson and the company agreed /
to accept the boards decision.
''The money was supposed to have
been deposited to Thompson's credit
n a Glasgow bank Then one or
more of Thompson's creditors attach

20 give the deed for the reason that

Paid Out Financially

The officers of the Stampede asso-
citation have not yet completed the
settlement of all the business affairs
of this years Stampede, but are con-
fdent that the receipts will cover the
exceedingly heavy expenses. To
make any such undertaking pay out
is always the most difficult part of
the management, and to keep an en-
terprise like the Stampede out of the
hole is no mean accomplishment.
Grounds have had to bA constructed
and maintained and each Stampede
brings an increasing list of payments
on account of prizes, performers, en-
ployees and many items that would
not occur to an outsider. The cost
of furnishing feed for the livestock
at this years Stampede amounted to
5000. Every act on the program is
paid for. Every time bareback
rider comes out of chute on a steer
or horse he gets $3.50.
