HEBRON SCHOOL
DEBATERS WINS
IN SEMI-FINAL

The Hebron High school debating
team, composed of Paul Schweigert,
Carl Kraenzel and Marie Balogh, de-
feated the Beach High school team
in a debate here last Friday. The

defeated the representatives of Dick
inson High school and of Belfield.
1t had downed the former by a unan-
imous decision on Jan. %. The Heb
ron team defeated Steele in the sec
ond round on Feb. 20, and will, as
q result of it's victory over Beach, be
paired with one of the other four
remaining, undefeated teams of the
High School Debate League in the
state semi finals.
The members of the Beach trio
were Donald Wallace, Howard En-
derle and Carlyle Mathison. The
question for debate was, Resolved,
That the federal government should
own and operate the railroads" Heb
ron upheld the negative of this ques-
ton. The judges of the debate were
Prof. C. E. Scott and Prof. Edward
Purtee of the Dickinson State Nor
NAL School, and County Judge B. w.
Shaw of Mandan. About three hun
dred people turned out to hear the
two teams fight it out on the loren
sic platform, and no one was dis
appointed,
The debate was held in the Heb
ron City Hall under the auspices OF
the Parent Teacher Association. Mr..
G. H. Leick, president Of the asso-
citation. presided. The Hebron Mems

few songs after the debate. MIR. Leo

WELCOME GRAIN DEALERS!

With red and white streamers, part of Bismarck at

increasing evidence that the American farmer is becoming
slow to follow the leadership OF radical minority ne en-
phasized quite justly the benefit the farmers of the state
reapng by the defeat of the threatened legislation
which complicated the economic situation last mprac
teal theorists and sefseeking politicians proposing meas
with specious arguments of widespread relief which
would have effectualy destroyed the open market The
efforts of the grain trade and the cooperation of leaders in
agriculture he points out responsible for killing such
uneconomic and sociaisc legislation.
We agree that in purely agricultural state it should
not be necessary for the grain dealers to maintain egis
alike to farmers and Dealers should their efforts to
passage of warehouse act to control and supervise the
handling of grain have proved frutess Mr. Gunkeman is
doubt right in arbutng the failure partly to the grain
dealers themselves for their lack of educational

Queer where buyer and seller may meet.
Last year the Grain Dealers Association proved it's
worth by assisting the Northwest Regional Advisory Board
in preventing of the worst threatened tieups of trans
portaon in the grain industry of the state by relieving
the terminal situation when there danger that loading
could not keep with the influx AS it is the record OF
September October and November of last year shows

The need for the establishment of in elevator
and elevator accounting grain grading and the
study Of the propagation of varieties of grain at the State
Agricultural College, which the President points out should
be given consideration as progressive step toward the
securing of improved marketing conditions.
If the Conventions sessions continue in the tenor
outlined in the annual presidential address, the grain dealers
will have reaped the profit from their meeting that they and

.THRESHING RETURNS
SHOW LARGE YIELDS
WHEAT ON DRY" LAND FARMS
NEAR BOHEMIAN RUNNING
S5 TO as BUSHELS

Yields Of from S5 to as bushels Of
wheat to the acre on "dry" land are
being obtained by farmers in the vi
vinity of Bozeman, while winter wheat
around Maudlow is running between
18 and 25 bushels, according to re-
ports received here from points where
threshing has been finished. Although
not much threshing has been done in
the irrigated sections, it is freely pre-
dicted that returns of as high as go
bushels will not be uncommon.
At the farm of r. A. Walton, west
Of BOzeman, figures show that his
marquis wheat yielded 46 bushels.
Other good returns are: Henry Ravet,
whose farm is east Of the city, As
bushels; Ben Walker, Of the Walker
settlement, AZ bushels; Jonathan and
Henry Walker, of the same neighbOr-
hood, 80 to 40 bushels; J. Hoffman
and Lon Beck, 81 bushels. The lat
ter's crop was winter wheat.
The figures quoted are average
yields on gOOd-sized fields, and indi-
cate that the Gallatin valley is ex-
ceptiOnally fortunate this year. While
other sections of the state have suf-
fered losses, in some instances severe
because of hot weather and lack Of
moisture, the farmers of this ares
are being well repaid for their efforts
by the very substantial yields oh
tanned.

new BUTTER RATE
FAVORS SHIPPERS
PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST

WEST COAST CITIES

HELENA.-Carrying the privilege
of storage in Seattle at cost Of
three cents a hundredweight, a new
carload rate on butter of $2.11 from
BOzeman to San Francisco and Will
mington, Calf, has been instituted
by the Northern Pacific. The new
rate viii become. effective October z.
At the same time the rate from
Helena and Butte to the same points
viii be reduced to $1.86 a hundred
weight.
The purpose Of the new rates, the
Montana Railroad commission IS ad-
vised, is to permit shippers to try the
Seattle market first, and, if that is
not satisfactory, to store until the
price is more favorable or to ship to
California. Thus Montana butter
shippers will, to a degree, be relieved
from fluctuations Of the market.
