Doesn't Eat Much, But
Oh, How He Can Drink

To look at John Aasen, the
foot, 81 inch giant who gives Har-
old Lloyd towering support in the
new Pathe comedy, "Why Worry,
at the Liberty Thursday and Fri
day of next week, you would pre-
dict his dinner order to read some
thing like this:
l gallon of soup,
A T-bone steaks,
8 pounds of potatoes,
pounds of vegetables,
Several loaves of bread,
A few pounds of butter,
quart of coffee,
10 pieces of French pastry.
But, strangely enough, Aasen eats
no more than the average individ-
ual, but he does consume huge
quantities of water. While he was
working in "Why Worry" he ate
his breakfasts regularly at one par
ticular restaurant. The first few
mornings the walters were kept
busy carrying water to Aasen's table
but they soon got wise and put
jug of water on his table.
Thus does Aasen dissillusion us
as to the diet of giant, but John
can't really be classed as giant,
because he is perfectly proportion
ed in his size, and the dictionary
supplies the information that ode
velopment to unusual size but with
normal physique, is not giantism.
1t is safe to predict that the
laughter John Aasen will provoke
in "Why Worry" will be in proper
tion to his size.

WIERD ATTEMPT
TO BURN HALL
FIRE BUGS MAKE NOISY BUT
UNSUCCESSFUL EFFORT TO
DESTROY COLISEUM

Wolf Point citizens experienced
new thrill Tuesday morning when
Immediately after the noisy start
ing of a Ford in an alley adjacent
to the large dance hall and auditor
ium, known as the Coliseum, loud
explosions occurred in the building
and flames burst from the rear en-
trance-a plain but coarse and
clumsy attempt at incendiarism.
A nearby resident turned in an
alarm and the fremen were soon on
the ground and had the fire, bad as
it appeared, under control in few
minutes. But the building was
watched for couple of hours to
make sure there was no hidden fire
to break out afresh. The damage
was very slight-a few charred
spots on the floor and some broken
windows.
Occurs at Dawn
Although a story of the affair.
sent in promptly to a state daily
from Poplar, says the fire was Mon
day night, nothing was known of it
here until early Tuesday morning.
In fact no fire was discovered by
Wolf Point citizens until just at
day break, few minutes before
four o'clock. The street lights, ac-
cording to custom had just been
turned out. But there was evidence
that the fire bugs were about the
building at least two hours earlier,
both them and their car being heard
in the vicinity before two o'clock
DR. and Mrs. DeWane, Mr.. and Mrs.
John Listerud, S. G. Leoppky, Mrs.
l.. Rybuck and Mrs. Warmbrod and
daughters all heard and some OF
them saw two men and their car.
Some of their conversation was ov-
erheard. Cars travelling about at
night. especially at this season, are
not uncommon and little was
thought of the incident The parties
we're taken for a couple of drunks
with too much moon on board toi
manage their car.
The prowlers, after they got their
oud Lizzie going, went east through
he alley in the Coliseum block, !

3lock and speeded north on Second

HEROIC AMERICAN
GIRL LOSES SWIM
GERTRUDE EDERLE HAS ROUGH
EXPERIENCE WHILE TRYING
TO NAVIGATE CHANNEL

Gertrude Ederle, American girl
swimmer was forced to leave the
waters Of the English Channel last
Tuesday afternoon after a heroic
attempt to swim the famous pass
age. Nausea produced by swallow
ing too much salt sea water caused
illness.
Miss Ederle left the sea at 1858,
too sick to continue her attempt.
After attention from her trainers
and sleep in the boiler room Of
the tug, LaMorinie, which followed
her, she was in excellent condition.
Jabez Wolfe, her trainer, Helmy,
the Egyptian swimmer, and Madame
Sion, were with her at the time. The
temperature of the water had drop
ped to 50. 1t had been evident for
three or four minutes that she was
in distress.
iii But Game
Wolfe called on Helmy to stand
close by and few moments later
Helmy saw that the American girl
was choking and apparently unable

THREE YEARS RECORD
WHEAT VARIETY TEST

Three years records on wheat
variety test by Earl Coin, one of
the registered wheat growers of
Roosevelt county has proven conclu-
sively that the Roosevelt county
strain of registered Marquis is su-
perior to other strains of seed that
were tested out. Mr.. Coin obtained
some of the Seager Wheeler selec-
tions and gave them a good test in
order to determine which was the
most dependable and profitable vari-
ETY. to raise. The following are the
results that satisfied his mind that
our registered strain of Canadian
Marquis was superior.

Letter From ~. D."

In a letter Mr.. Stone says, "Te-
koa is in the famous Palouse wheat
belt and in the banner wheat pro-
ducing county of the United States.
The crop this season is making from
20 to 35 bushels. We have bought
a grocery store and it is larger than
we first planned on getting-about
the size of Neut's in Wolf Point.
Have one clerk besides the Mrs. and
myself and business opens up good,
even better than we expected. Send
The Herald to Tekoa."
Local friends of Mr. and Mrs.
Stone wish them great success in
their new venture.

Early Triumph 27 21 21
Kitchner, registered
and common 20 8
discontinued in 1924
Canadian Marquis 27 % Fl
Common Marquis 20 19
discontinued in 1924
The early Triumph is found to be
about week earlier than any of
the strains in maturity but did not
out-yield the registered seed. The
Kitchner was found to be week
to ten days later in maturity than
the registered Marquis which proved
to be a decided disadvantage in or
dinary years. Such tests and demon
strations as these over period OF
more than one year are the real
cause of popularity and adoption of
the registered strain of Roosevelt
county grown Marquis wheat.

STATE WILL PROVIDE
APPLE INSPECTION
(continued from first page)

(cOntinned from first page)
Imperial, Ben Davis, Stark, etc., will
be full crops.
Indications also point to large
grape crop this year in Kent county
where the bulk of the grapes is
grown in the state. Some early va
rieties are already on, but the Con-
cord variety will not be ready for
cutting and shipping for two weeks
yet.
The various crops now on, both
fruit and vegetables, which are plen-
tiful, do not look as though they
were going to bring the best of
prices Notwithstanding the excel
lence of the fruit.
Georgia Belle peaches are selling
from 81 to SIPS per basket in the
local markets and in some distant
markets are bringing as high as So.
Cantaloupes are selling from 80 to
80 cents per crate of Sc and 45. Gu
cumbers are selling for 35 cents per
bushel hamper.
The low price of peaches is at
tributed to the large shipments of
the same varieties from the western
and southern states, all seemingly to
be ripening sufficient to pick at this
time, hence partial glut in the
market.

RAIN INTERFERS WITH
GOVERNORS DAY PLAN
AT CAMP ROBINSON
continued from firet pagel

days for the regiment. Visitors at
the camp ran into the thousands.
One distinguished visitor was Major
General Johnson Hagood, command
ing the Coast Artillery District COM
prising Delaware, New Jersey and
New York.
Praised BY Gen. HagOOd
General Hagood arrived at Reho-
both at noon, unaccompanied, and
was met at the station by Adjutant
General J. Austin Ellison and Col
onel LeFeVre and taken to camp.
There luncheon was served in the
regimental mess.
The plan for breaking camp and
proceeding back to the rifle range
on orders issued Tuesday night, is
that the regiment break camp
Thursday morning, proceed to Mil
ford, where they will remain over
night and then on Friday proceed to
the State Rifle Range at New Castle,
where they will remain Friday night
and be mustered out Saturday morn
ing. This plan is subject to change,

Tuesday night Rehoboth Beach
was a mecca for several thousand
visitors, who witnessed a night dem
Onstration of anti-aircraft events.
Three two-million candle power
searchlights and a battalion of ma
chine guns were employed during
the, greater part of the evening for
firing at illuminated balloons. The
firing of the machine guns and the
beams Of the search lights playing
on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean
gave a vivid sense of imagining what
might be expected in the event of an
attack by hostile feet of the air
craft. About ten thousand rounds of
small ammunition were fired and out
of so balloons released only one es-
capped the machine gunners.
Governor Robinson visited the pis-
tol range Tuesday afternoon and in
dulged in a friendly shooting match
with Captain V. D. Washburn. The
governors son, Robert, also shot.
Despite his lack of practice, Cover
nor Robinson made a good score.

DAIRY MEETING AUGUST 18th

The dairy meeting which has been
contemplated by NJ. c. Vaughn
County Agent, Milford Grange and G.
M. WapIes, is being billed for the
Armory at Milford for Monday even
ing, August 18th at 8 p. m.
The correspondence, however,
which Mr.. NAPLES has had with Mr..
Luhrs of st. Louis, formerly Of the
extension service of the Missouri
College Of Agriculture, informs him
that in place of the lecture there
will be substituted play "Joe Guess
Wins $1,000" The purpose of the
play is identical with that Of lee
ture, namely, to arouse an interest
in better feeding methods among the
farmers and dairymen and to show
each dairyman how he can produce
milk at lower rate per gallon.
But the facts are dressed into such
an interesting formula with plenty
of sketches of comedy to make it
really an evening of entertainment
as well as information.
Mr.. Luhrs will take the part of
Bob Profit, the leading character IN
the play; the other characters in the
pIay are Joe Guess, Bill Know and
VIM. Henry Kenne. Joe Guess, the
dairyman, who does not believe in
better dairy methods is the chief
comedian with his laughable COM
ments each time Know and Profit at
tempt to show him better methods.
The same play will be given the
following Wednesday night, August
18th at the Lewes High School au-
ditorium. Those who are unable to
attend at Milford are invited to
The performance is free.

DELAWARE DARK HORSE
MAY RECEIVE APPOINTMENT
(continued from frst page)


the movement to elevate Mr.. Bud
nitz to the position of administrator.
Apparently the only way that Mr..
Budnitz could be named would be
through an agreement with Senator
du Pont. Under the Treasury policy
announced Tuesday, it was pointed
out, Senator du Pont, if he chose,
could prevent the appointment OF
Mr.. Budnitz, and, on the other hand,
Senator Weller might exercise his
prerogative and bar the appointment
of the Delaware man.
Hence, it appears that if either OF
these candidates is to be successful
it will be through an agreement be-
tween the two Senators. Such an
agreement might provide for the ap-
pointment of one man with the un-
derstanding that the other would be
given the position of permit man IN
the district Office, the job next in I'M
portance to that of administrator.
There are possibilities, of course,
that Senatorial prerogatives, recog-
nized openly by the newly announc-
ed policy, may prevent the appoint
ment of either, and that, consequent
ly. it may become necessary to name
a third man.

suggests that firemen and engine
men may contribute most to the
movement by discussing ways and
means of saving coal chiefly in the
light of their experience on engines.
For the apparent purpose of getting
the discussion focused on the vital
elements, the Regional papers also
suggest that articles intended for
the competition may well be based
on the writer's achievements in re-
