NAVY CENSORS
GOBS' FILMS.

Uncle Sans sailors are seeing too
many naughty films. The fact that
the pictures have been passed by
the National Board Of Censorship
doesn't mean anything to the
navy authorities. They still are
likely to have a bad influence on
the lonesome "gobs'' at sea, so
Secretary Wilbur's staff is now pro-
vided with scissors and other
apparatus to clip and to change
them.
These facts are disclosed in the
House Appropriations Committees
report on its hearings on the
navy bill.
representatives made the first
kick, after they had seen pictures
aboard ships during the Hawaiian
maneuvers last year.
Representative Taber Of New
York. told the committee he was
very much Disguised" and that
there was much filth" in the
films, and similar reports were
made by other legislators.
So now, pictures are scrutinized
by a naval officer at Brooklyn. II
he feels it will have an immoral
influence on the sailors, he sends it
to the Bureau of Navigation here,
where final censorship is made.

WILD FOWL KILLED BY
POISON FROM SHELLS

Maj. C. C. Williams. chief Of
ordnance, after investigating COM
plants by Maryland sportsmen that
wild fowl are poisoned by deposits
of phosphorus, and sulphur in the
waters near the Aberdeen Proving
Ground, has reported to Senator
o. E. Weller of Maryland, who re-
quested the investigation, that he
finds that phosphorus was de-
posted in shallow water in the
area by shells dropped there in
May and June, 1928.
This caused the death of a num-
Der Of wild water fowl there last
winter, but Major Williams said,
comparatively few have been poi
soned this year. as no more shells
have been dropped and steps have
been taken to keep the wild fowl
from the affected area.

USING
FLEET OF TRUCKS
TO HAUL BIG CROP

FROID-Senator J. w. Schnitzler,
Froid farmer-banker, who grows more
than 5000 acres of wheat about 10
miles northwest Of Froid, and who
for many years has hauled his grain
to market by tractor train, has, this
season, been forced to abandon the
practice because of the new road
grade made this summer just west
of Homestead. The new trail is un-
able to withstand the heavy tractor
and loads of wheat.
Mr.. Schnitzler started h aulin g
wheat to Homestead elevators this
week with the tractor train, but had
to abandon it as the roadbed on the
grade gave way under the h e avy
strain. He is selling his heavy wag-
ons and has bought a number of new
trucks, which he will use to market
his big crop.

the body of Lord Kitchener had
been picked up after the sinking

FL TEMPLE BENEFIT
DANCE AUGUST q

Next Saturday, August 28th is the
big day of the year, the benefit dance
at the Farmer-Labor Temple. Har-
vesting and threshing will be near
ly over, and the evenings will be cool
er, so everything points forward to
an honest-to- goodness big time for
everyone.
The affair is being put on to help
hquidate the debt which is Outstand-
ing on the hall. The original cost was
S1O,5O0, but there has been paid off
all but $1,000, which it is hoped can
be written off the books by January
1st, 1927. With the assistance of all
who believe in cooperation between
town and country, this can easily be
done.
Krazy Kats Orchestra is donating
the music for the affair. Have you
noticed any strange, weird sounds
that seem to come from nowhere in
particular, lately? That's the Krazy
Kats practising up on the real old
timers, and the newest hits from the
Chicago and New York. Can you
polka? You're invited. Do you want
to show off your newest twist to the
charleston. Well, hop along. Every
body will have a chance on the floor.

MAN ENROUTE TO

IN NORTH DAKOTA

MINOT, N. D.--S. N. Woodruff of
Enderlin, N. D., retired master me-
chanicchanic for the Minnesota divi-
sion of the 500 line, was killed Mon
day near Minot, in an automobile ac-

Mr.. Woodruff, driving with his wife
enroute to Outlook, Mont, from his
home in Enderlin, apparently lost
control of his sedan which plunged
from the highway down a 20 foot
bank remaining upright at the bottom
of the descent. The violence of the
impact when the machine struck the
new level is believed to have result
ed in Mr.. Wocdruff's death. The
auto continued for IS yards into a
cornfield before coming to a complete
halt.
The widow informed DIR. Pence that
Mr. Woodruff h d toppleG over
against the steering wheel after
striking the bottom of the grade, and
said that until the car plunged from
the sandy road she had noticed moth

WORLDS BIGGEST JOB
OF THRESHING UNDER
WAY In MONTANA

BILLINGS.-Thomas D. Campbell,
world wheat king, is in the midst of
what is probably the largest single
threshing enterprise in agricultural
history. On the $4,000 acres he has
under cultivation, en- the Grow Indi-
an reservation, southeast of Billings,
he is threshing a wheat crop which
he estimates will reach a half million
bushels. One hundred and seventy
five thousand bushels of wheat has
been threshed thus far, and with up
wards of 250 men employed opera
tiOns are proceeding steadily.
Included in his $4,000 acres in crop
are 1000 acres of flax. The flax,
according to Mr.. Campbell, is partic-
ularly good and he viii start harvest
ing it in about 10 days.
A new method of windrOw harvest
ing has been inaugurated by Mr..
Campbell and is being used for
threshing the crop from about 10000
acres this year. 1t effects a saving
of about 81 per acre, and according
to Mr.. Campbell, is about the big
gest thing he has ever done.
"It will do more to solve the great
economic problem of farm labor and
the small farmers problem than any
thing which has been developed since
the invention of the binder" the
wheat king declares. Visitors from
all parts of America, including eight
men from the United States depart
ment of agriculture have visited the
Campbell farms to see this new meth
cd.
