YIELDS ARE GOOD
QUALITY is FINE
LOCAL THRESHING RETURNS
UP TO ESTIMATES-GEN-
ERAL AVERAGE FAIR

The most interesting crop news
Of the week is the reports from the
threshing machines which have be-
gun work. Only few farmers have
threshed and those are in the i'm
mediate vicinity of this town. Carl
Boyer threshed his own wheat and
it is understood that the average
yield was about % bushels. His
machine is now at work on the Mar
tin Jacobs farm, four miles west.
AS the job is not completed the av-
erage yield is not known but it is
sure to be as good as 20 bushels,
probably more.
Local Yields Very Good
Charley Hall threshed his wheat,
something like $50 acres, which
yielded close to 20 bushels per acre.
He also threshed the wheat on AL
bert Isachsen's place, northeast Of
town, which made 121a bushels.
His machine is now at work on Had
le Nyland's farm but no returns
have been learned. A machine is
at work on Paul Fay's place near
Vida but the job is not complete.
Highest Quality
The wheat on all the farms men
toned is of excellent quality grad
ing No. 1, some of it weighing as
much as 81 pounds to the bushel.
A sample of wheat taken from a
load brought today from Martin
Jacobs place showed it splendid
color, plump and with every indica-
ton that it will return a high mill |
ing test.
Most of the yields mentioned are
admitted to be above the average
as the country around Wolf Point
was favored with more rain than
many other of the more distant To-
calities.
Estimates IL to Is Bushels
Quite a number of high authori-
ties were consulted this week, such
as County Agent Noble, j. w.
Schnitzler, tn e largest indivi-
dual farmers in the county, the
local grain buyers, and several
farmers residing on each side of the
river. AS result of these inter
views the conclusion reached is
hat the average wheat yield in
county and the northern ]
n northeastern portion of McCone

Tells of Collecting
Vote in Wilds of
Canadian Northwest

Winnipeg. Man. Nov. 10.-(AP)-
The collecting of the vote in the
wide open spaces of the Canadian
Northwest Is far from an easy task.
]. B. Lockhart, representing the Of
fiicals of the Springfield constituency,
has returned from a trip to the
Northland where he. collected the
ballot boxes from outlying polls.
During the trip by canoe and gas
launch the party was repeatedly
halted by ice. They tramped one
hundred and fifty miles after one
ballot box. Ten nights were passed
in the open air and the journey con-
cluded with two day trip across
Lake Winnipeg during which, the
steamer Bradbury had to make its
way through heavy ice. The trip
was begun a month ago. with the
distribution OF the ballots and ball
lot boxes. Mr.. Lockhart reported
that it had been impossible to reach
the Berens Landing poll because of
ice and that this ballot box would
not be brought in.

certainly co-operated in such man
ner as to make it most enjoyable
and profitable occasion. A large
number of patrons thronged the
rooms during the evening, and mani
tested considerable surprise at the

Declares Widow of
LansdOwne Asked
To Change Testimony

Washington, Nov, 1O.-(AP)-
Mrs. Margaret Lansdowne, widow or
the airship Shenandoah's command
err, will be recalled Monday before
the naval court of inquiry investi-
eating the wreck of that craft for
questioning as to the charge made
.at the Mitchell court martial that an
officer of the navy department
sought to have her give false testi-
mony before the naval court.
In opening the Mitchell defense
Yesterday. Representative Frank r.
Reid asserted that he could produce
evidence that Mrs. Landsdowne had
been approached by naval officer
in an effort to have her retract be-
fore the Shenandoah court her ORR
ginal statement that her husband
had been ordered to take the Shen-
andoah on her fatal flight over his
protest to the navy department.
Immediately after the Shenandoah
was wrecked Mrs. I.ansdowne issued
n public statement saying her hus-
band had protested against making
the flight because of his apprehen-
sion of encountering bad weather.
Later. before the court. she reiterat-
ed her statement that the command
ed had made protest and said the
documentary evidence produced at
the Inquiry and consisting of letters
exchanged between her husband and
the navy department supported her
declaration.
The decision to reconvene the in
vestigating tribunal Monday and to
recall Mrs. I.ansdowne was announc-
ed late today by Captain Paul Foley.
Judge Advocate of the Shenandoah
court
