extensively as in the United States.
Naturally. such a splendid medal
player as Bobby Jones could not fail
to qualify in any group of 16 golfers
in the world, so the reigning cham
pion never was in danger at Oakmont.
Yet even he, the ranking medal
player of the world, had mental
qualms as he watched his friends
struggle to overcome Oakmont's ter
rorrs. Even Jones, before the medal
test. admitted he was not sure of
qualifying. If Jones was not sure,

play, even though they admit no SUI

Better Golf Not Produced.
qualifying limit of 16 would cause the
stars to tighten up their game with
resultant better golf though the scores,
generally, did not show such a result
And in many cases the mental strain
of knowing that Il missed putt might
keep a star out of the championship
was TOO great a burden to be borne
Where short putt curling away
from the cup might cost the golden
chance, and where an s. easy enough
to amaSs on Oakmont'S rugged ter
rain, surely would thwart the aspira-
ton of any champion. even a Jones
might have a bad half hour, Just as

There is not much question that

COLDBRICKERS HASTEN TOWARD SCOBEY

What is universally regarded as
one of the biggest and most cleverly
planned raids executed in Northeast
ern Montana for some time took
place at Outlook between the hours
of and z o'clock Wednesday eve
ming. Four pool halls were raided
simultaneously and supplies of liquor
were found and confiscated by Sheriff
Salisbury and his whole force and
County Attorney Erickson.
The proprietors of the places raid
ed were taken by surprise by the law
enforcement officers and had no time
to conceal their supplies Of moon
shine and Canadian beer.
Sheriff Salisbury, Under Sheriff StOn-
er, Deputy Sheriff Bantz and County
| ATTORNEY Erickson left PlentywOOd
in four cars late Wednesday after
noon and met at a rendezvous out
side of Outlook. They then arranged
their plans so that all the places
could be raided at the same time and
in that way prevent cOncealment or
distribution of evidence in some
places while others were being raided.
The car driven by County Attorney
Erickson was the first to enter town
and halt in front of the place con-
Quoted by Oswald Selvig. The rapid
descent of the county attorney on the

proprietors of the joints and execute'
the raids with precision and dispatch

OPHEIM -HAVRE
R. R. Is POSSIBILITY

Havre,-The possibility of the
Great Northern railway building a
branch line from Opheim to Havre
connecting the cities of Scobey, Balm
Vile, Opheim and Havre, and many
more smaller inland towns, was dis
cussed at the meeting of the Rotary
club Thursday.
n. 3. Gcurley led the discussion
after a brief talk made by L. K. Dew
lin in which he related the views of
Ralph Budd, president of the railroad,
when Mr.. Budd was here last month
Mr.. Budd promised to send an engl-
neer to look over the proposed line.
According to Mr.. GOurley, Havre
would be made the distributing point
for the large territory now supplied
bv Williston, the shipments going
over the branch lines between Balm
vile. Scobey and Opheim. The pro
posed road would be some 300 miles

Farmer-Labor Party
Drive VIII Continue
Eastern Editor Ayers

Olivet, Mich.-It is quite likely
that further attempts win be
made in future campaigns to
form a farmer-labOr party, Ben
son Y. Laudis, editor of Rural
America, told the conference of
the fellowship for a Christian So
cial order here Tuesday. "1he
growing dissatisfaction particu-
larly among the wheat-grOwing
farmers of the northwest is apt
to result in a political upheaval
before the passage of many more
presidential campaigns" Mr..
Lands said. ''The popular Opin-
ion at present is that the farmer
and the city labOrer will never
be able to cooperate, because the
former desires high food prices
and the latter clamOrs for reduc-
ton. But there are many points
on which the two agree"

They seem to realize that the farm
ers now "Bncw their rights and dare
maintain them" From adjoining
counties the Producers News is in re-
ceipt of reports that sharks have ap-
preached farmers whose places have
been sold at execution sale and asked
them to sign over one fourth of their
crop to eastern loan companies.
The sharks always try to give the
impression that they have legal
weapons ready to enforce their de-
mands. In the past they have sue
ceeded in bluffing and cajcling the
farmer into signing on the dotted line
and thereby depriving himself and
family of the wherewithal to pur-
chase the necessities of life later
Realizing that the season is now
short the sharks are putting in all
their time trying to separate the
farmer from his crop one way or an
other. But they are not very sue
cessful in Sheridan county. They re-
port back that the farmers are "hard
boiled" They know that the sales Of
cartridges and shotguns have increas-
ed in the hardware stores of Plenty
wood, Medicine Lake, Outlook and
Redstone, during the week and that
farmers are now familiar with the
law which regards a mans home as
his castle and his right to eject tres
passers with such force as he thinks
the occasion demands.

GALLANT EFFORT
TO SWIM CHANNEL
ENDED BY ILLNESS
Gertrude Ederle Forced to
Give In to Sickness From
Salt Water = Records for
Early Speed are Beaten.

Dover, England, Aug. 18.-Ger-
trude Ederle was compelled to aban-
don her attempt to swim the English
channel this afternoon owing to ad.
verse weather conditions.
The end eff her gallant effort came
at 1858 p. M, when two thirds of the
way across the channel.
She was forced to quit because of
nausea and seasickness brought on by
swallowing salt water.
Miss Ederle had been in trouble fer
an hour but took courage from the
cheerfulness of her friends and kept
doggedly at her task until she sud-
denly turned in the water toward
Helmy, the Egyptian, with a lock of
pain on her face.
Gather her in" yelled Jabez Wolfe
to the Egyptian swimmer.
Sobbing as she was taken aboard
Miss Ederle said she swallowed too
much salt water during the previous
two miles when the sea was choppy,
and that her stomach was causing her
a great deal of pain.
Half Way Across
Aboard Tug La Marine, accom-
panying Gertrude Ederle, Aug. 49,
At 1870 o'clock this afternoon Ger
trude Ederle had covered half the
distance between her starting point
at Cape Gris-Nez and her goal al
Dover. She was swimming with
great regularity.
"She is the most marvellous swim
mer I ever saw I. w. Burgess, the
veteran channel swimmer, aboard the
tug told the newspaper reporters.
When Miss Ederle left Cape Girls
Nez, the sea was almost dead calm
but it became a little eough after sht
had been in the water a few hours
She called continually for music from
the band aboard the tug, which play
ed almost increasingly.
Breaks All Speed Records
The endurance Of the young Anieri
can girl was regarded by those &C
companying her on the tug as equale
only by her great speed. In the frs
five hours Miss Ederle broke all rec
ords for the distance made in tha
time by channel swimmers. DUrin
the sixth hour her pace slowed dow
as the influence of the tide began
be felt and she was compelled t
breast the tide rather tina nto swil
with it.

CERT WELL RECEIVED

Through an oversight, the follow
ing article was left out of last weeks
issue:
The music lovers of Plentywood
were delightfully."- entertained last
Monday night when Miss Kitty Short
appeared in concert at the Orpheum
theater. Miss Short has a lyric So
prano voice of unusual sweetness
which, together with her delightful
personality makes her singing rank
among the best. Each number was
well received but it is plain from
Miss Shorts rendition of Ernani in
volami from Opera Ernani that it is
so far her masterpiece. The program
was a delight from start to finish and
much praise was heard from all pres
ent. It is hoped that Miss Short will
delight the people of PlentywOOd and
vicinity with another concert before
her return to Les Angeles, next
month.

Strange Tale of Banve Boy Finding Hidden Box OF Silver

Wolf Point, Aug. IA story of
adventure in real life which is not

pades of a quartet of young boys
whose homes are at Bainville and

the story are scarcely past the runner

taken up by the sherif's office and
the county attorney, the facts, so far
as possible, will be brought to light,
through a court hearing which prob
ably will be held.

tale centers around the story OF one
