Save Some of Your Old
Corn for Emergency

The spring of 1924 was unusually
backward in many sections. Follow
ing this, the growing conditions were
not good, with the result that the
bulk of the corn is extremely late
throughout the Corn Belt and north
ward. It is so late that most of the
crop will be unfit for seed unless
frost holds off longer than usual.
The United States department of
agrik ulture is calling attention to
this fact at the present time in order
to prevent, if possible, a serious
seed-corn situation in the spring of
1925. The higher prices for corn
in the last few weeks are drawing
much of the old crop from the farms.
Farmers not having enough seed
corn for 1925 left over from last
years supply should ave the best
of their bulk crib corn from which
to obtain seed, if necessary. If this
years crop is killed by frost before
it is mature, this old cor will pro
vide a source from which seen can
be selected for planting in 1925.

Homer A. Hoover was given a
complimentary vote on all three
tickets for county attorney. r. L.

Governor Dixon was given a

90 for Dennis. Wellington Rankin
won out in McCone county by a nice
margin for u. S. senator getting PAP
votes with Frank Linderman second

not in it.
One hundred fifteen Farmer Labor
votes were cast and about 60 demo-
cratic. There were no contests on

RURAL CORRESPONDENCE
From Our Rural Patrons

"Shall we send u children to
Wolf Point high school?' is a ques-
ton which is seriously confronting
parents Of the south side who have
children who have been attending
school there or others whose chit
dren are ready to enter high school.
We prefer to send our children to
Wolf Point as it is our nearest town
and where we spend our hard-earned
dollars. And for those reasons our
county commissioners say Wolf
Point is not justified in charging US
tuition, and have been refusing to
transfer our apportionments to that
district. Some are communicating
with the state and county superin-
tendents of schools in regard to the
tuition charges. We think the tut
ton is high as our county superln-
tendent informs our district CLERK
that We receive S27.00 for each one
from the ages of 6 to 21 years Of
age. There is a few families in our
vicinity who have two children ready
for high school and to those the tut
ton charges are a serious problem.
And we sincerely hope the matter
be adjusted in some way so
our children may receive a high
school education. We do not want
to abandon our farms and move
a free high school. We have
made our homes here for a number
Of years and we are intending to stay

TRAMPS DISDAIN BEANS
"Dudes of the Dust" Indignant When Offered Lowly Fare At Salvation Army Barracks.

Beggers will be choosers, despite the ancient saying to the contrary. En- sign Carl Frederickson of the SalVa- ton Army reports that tramps are be- coming very fussy in regard to what they eat A few days ago pair or typical hoboes appeared at the hall and asked for food. The cook gave them beans, bread and coffee in amount sufficient to make a hearty meal. The tramps, however, had v1- sions of chicken and haughtily refus- ed such fare, exclaiming, "1s that all youre gonna give us?" and stalked ont with much show of outraged dig nity.
 The lf-professedly starving men who appear at the door are seldom hungry enough to work for their meal. When told to chop a little wood, they act in traditional manner by disappearing as quickly as possible. There are many men, however, who spply at local headquarters for em- ployment and are willing to take al- most any job that can be found. En- sign Frederickson says that at present it is impossible to find work for them' Four or five men put in an appear ance every day, and if they do not find work soon they will be forced to apply for financial aid. With the clos ing of summer, more men are apply ing for a nights lodgings at the hall.
 Next Friday and Saturday evenings the Salvation Army will stage band concert in the rear of the hall. Elf forts are being made to bring back for this affair all former members or the local band. There will be several songs and Ensign Frederickson will speak. The whole program will pc in English.
 The open air services, in walnut Hill park, which were discontinueo last Sunday because of the exercises in connection with the Grange tour will be resumed beginning tomorrow at 1 D. m.
 Repairs to the hall are almost com pleted, and the fall and winter pro- gram will open next month.
