We have had most every sort of 8 booster week, 80 why not have a Rage the Shed Week?" Get out to the rear of your property and survey the shed that graces or-- disgraces- the back yard. Looks very shabby, doesn't it? The shin- gles on the roof have blown off. The paper roof, caught in the winds has rolled up. It leans out of plumb. The win- dows and doors are hanging on one hinge. It needs paint and needs it badly.
 Did you ever think of tearing down this dilapidated old shed and reconstructing it in a neat CT little building, in good re- pair and painted? Tear it down or put it in repair. Straighten up the fences. May be we can't easily make Hyder larger, but we certainly can

Basic industries are expand ng, employment is increasing and there is continued confi- dence in good business. Resist ance to price advances is rec Iognized as widespread and in consequence the prospect of any prolonged rise in the gen.
 eral price level is daily grow
 ing more remote. Stiff com
 petition and stable prices cer-
 tainly offer no promise of easy
 profits but the situation at last
 seems to be one in which mod
 crate forward commitments can be made with fair assur-
 ance a condition which has not
 prevailed heretofore since the
 World war. The spirit of arti-
 ficial optimism so much in ev-
 idence a few weeks ago has
 been largely eliminated and
 the outlook today is satisfact-
 ory for all except those whose
 idea of good business is the
 promise of speculative profits.

After fruitless two years ol waiting for the" powers that "a" 4" +ake cognizance of the local flood situation and lend their assistance in removing the danger which may over whelm the town at almost any hour. we are to be given all opportunity to present our claim for governmental aid to the one federal official of all others in the Territory who is best able to secure the impera- lively reeded assistance-Col. James G. Steese.
 In view of this prospect it is desirafle that every effort be made to fully acquaint Col. Steese with every feature of the conditions which render the town potential victim of dire calamity and all citizens who have the welfare of Hy- der at heart should unite to that end.
 Perst4al or sectional differ ences should in no case be al- lowed to become a deterring influence in the presentation of the facts which form the foundation of our claim for federal aid. It is not a question of who it is to be most bene- fitted by such assistance as may be secured. There is no 9ainsaying the fact that the town is in constant danger ol floods. While to some it may appear that certain sections are immune, this view is a fal- lacy. Destruction of the upper portion of the town will also spell serious damage and loss to the lower sections. Borne by a swirling flood, the debris from the townsite would inevit- ably batter down and sweep ewav at least a large section of the piled district, whose fragile foundations would not long withstand the impact of

hesitated. The truce occasioned by

"YOU AND !"

SYNOPSIS. - Transley's hay
cutting outfit, after stacking
1000 tons. Is on it's way to the
big Y.D. ranch headquarters
Transley In master of men and
circumstances. Linder. foreman.
II substantial. but not self-asser-
tive. George Drazk, one OF the
men. Is an irresponsible chap who
proposes to every woman he
meets. Transley and Lnder dine
with YD. and his wife and
daughter Zen. Transley resolves
to marry Zen Y.D. instructs
Transley to cut the South Y.D.,
spite o. HI an high water
and fellow named Landson.
Drazk proposes to Zen and Is
neatly rebuffed. Transley pitches
camp on the South Y.D. and finds
Landson's outfit cutting hay. Den
nison Grant, Landson's manager,
notifies Transley that he is work
ing under a lease from the legal
owners and warns Transley on
All of which means war. Y.D-
and Zen ride to the South Y.D.
Zen is a natural vamp, not yet
halter broke and ripe for mating.
Y.D. has taken liking to Trans
ley. Zen holds Transley off and
encourages Linder. Zen enjoys
the prospect of a race between
Transley and Under for her ia
vor, but secretly laughs at both.
She has another and more serious
encounter with Drazk. Y.D. now
ing machines are ruined by iron
stakes set in the grass. Zen pre-
vents open war with Landson.
Transley halfway proposes and
is turned off. Drazk sets a fire
that attacks the Landson stacks.
The Y.D. outfit hastens to aid the
enemy. Zen rides off alone to
help. The wind changes and the
Y.D. people now have to fight
the prairie fire. Zen rides into
the river to escape flames. Drazk
tries to abduct her. She browns
him-or thinks she has. Grant
overtakes her. in trying to ride
through fire Zen is thrown and
knocked senseless. Zen comes to
after several hours of uncon-
seriousness to find herself in the
dark with Grant. She has a
sprained ankle and both horses
have run away. So she and
Grant sit on a rock and tell their
past lives. Grant. 1t appears. is
a rich mans son who scorns
wealth in order to live his own
life.
