has proved himself a man of high
legal talent, while, as jurist, he
has followed the highest attributes
of the Maryland bar. No Judge
stands higher in the State than does
Albert A Doub, and that is the reason
he is being urged for the Federal
bench.
Personally, he would not put him
self forward for the position, but it
is his friends and admirers who are
insisting that he be recognized now
that Maryland calls for a man of
legal power for the Federal bench.
Judge Doub is identically the man.
ALBERT A. DOUB
Judge Doub was born on farm at
Beaver Creek, Washington county, of
parents whose lineage is traced back
to the French Huguenots, and after
profting by the advantages of the
public schools of the county, he at
ded for one year the University of
Kentucky at Lexington. In 1883 he
entered Johns Hopkins University
from which he graduated in 1886
with the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Was School Teacher
Returning to his home, he taught
in Williamsport High school for two
years when he became principal of
the Beall High school at Frostburg.
In 1893 he was elected treasurer of
Allegany county, and in January of
the following year, while incumbent
of this office, he was admitted to the
bar, after having pursued the study
of law in the office of the late Benja-
min A. Richmond after school and
office hours.
He served as city attorney for both
Frostburg and Cumberland and for
four years was legal counsel for the
Allegany County Commissioners. In
1898 he was appointed seferee in
for Allegany and Gar
rett counties and held this office FOR
a period of twelve years.
Then followed many years of prac-
tice as lawyer here, during which
time Judge Doub grew and grew in

ENDORSE JUDGE DOUB
FOR FEDERAL BENCH

Among those who have been men
toned and put forward for the Fed
eral bench of Maryland, to fill the
present vacancy, none comes nearer
the man for the position than Judge
Albert A Doub, of this District Cir
cult, a jurist of eminence and note
who is strongly endorsed by the bars
of Allegany, Garrett and Washing
ton counties.
Maryland would be honored should
Judge Doub be appointed by Presi-
dent Coolidge to the Federal Bench
and the people of Maryland, who
know and honor Judge Doub, would
feel thoroughly satisfied with the ap-
pointment.
An eminent lawyer, member of the
bar of Allegany county, Judge Doub
has served with honor and distinction
for long number of years. A Re-
publican of power and Influences man
who stands supreme in the community
as a citizen of high integrity. Judge
Doub is recognized as Marylander
who would represent his State on the
Federal bench with high honor both
to himself and the State.
In Maryland, he is regarded as a
jurist second to none. Since his cleo
ton to the Fourth Judicial Circuit, he

that reflects great honor to himself,
to the bench and bar of the Circuit,
and his record is without blemish. In
every manner of way, Judge Doub is
regarded as the most suitable man for
the Federal bench of the State of
Maryland and the combined bar as
sociation of Allegany, Garrett and
Washington counties, are strongly on
record for him for the position now
vacant.
Judge Doub came "into his own" as
member of the Fourth Judicial Cir
cult because the people in Western
Maryland recognized his legal ability
and high standing as Jurlst. lie

the death of the late Judge Robert R.
Henderson and the expiration of the
appointive term of Judge William C.
Walsh.
A man who "loved his profession
he did not seek the position on the
bench but hardened to the wishes of
his friends in Western Maryland.
Washington, Garrett and his own
county, Allegany, insisted that Judge
Doub represent them on the bench,
and he was elected on his merits as
man and a lawyer.
The record of Judge Doub since he
has served as Judge is an open book.
It has been most satisfactory and he

the estimation of the people of the
community. At the bar of Allegany
county, he became a lawyer of note
until the time came for the call to
him to practically sacrifice a very lu-
crative practice at the bar to become
a judge. There should be no meas
ure of regret on the part of Judge
Doub beause he was overwhelmingly
chosen for the Fourth Judicial Cir
cut, inasmuch as he has growrl
steadily in the estimation of the peo-
pie of Western Maryland and his
standing is such today that there is
an insistent demand for his appoint
ment to the Federal bench.

LOCAL PYTHIANS TO MAKE
MERRY FRIDAY NIGHT

All who were numbered as guests of
the Maryland Theatre last Friday night
are unanimous in their praise for the
welcome accorded them by the manage
ment. The merits of the high class
picture have been discussed at lenght
and taken as a whole, the entire even
ing was well spent and enjoyed by all.
DR.. Crabbe, Superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League of Maryland once made
an address before a Sunday audience
in Baltimore. As he and Mrs. Crabbe
journeyed home she complimented
the venerable Doctor on his flow of
eloquence and declared it the best she
had ever heard him give, stating as her
reasons for the assertion that it was
short, and therefore the best.
We will exercise brevity this week in
our presentation of items of interest.

Tiller Girls Will
Be at Brandon Fair

Something of surprise awaits
those who get a thrill out of the big
flashily presented girl dance acts
when they visit the Provincial Ex-
hibition at Brandon, and look over
the Palace Tiller Girls offering. The
attraction is so named because it
is product of the internationally
famous dancing master, Frences Til
Ter of London, and the further fact
that they have just completed an
engagement at the Palace Theatre,
New York.
1t is said of show folks, that every
performers ambition is to appear on
the stage of the Palace theatre, as
this is considered the show window
of New York's wisest critics. the
place where final judgment is passed
on their talents. The Tiller girls
pleased Broadway with their unique
dance numbers and original style of
costume and are now going out to
show their ware to even q greater

sitions.

Business Conditions

General indications are that the
slight decline in commodity prices
WHICH has been taking place during
the last two or three years may be
terminated. Industrial production
slowed up somewhat during the
month of May. The small drop in
retail distribution is thought to be
due to a somewhat lower volume of
factory employment.
Farm Prices
With general crop conditions below
normal the level of farm prices for
the next few months promises to
advance somewhat. The general level
of farm prices is IL points below
that Of this time last year. A slight
advance took place during the stayt
month"; cotton, grain and potatoes
being largely responsible. There was
seasonable DROP in the price OF
butter, eggs and hogs.
The purchasing power of farm
products now stands at "a compared
to a pre-war of 100. The index price
of grain stands at the present time
at 1876 compared to l31 year ago !;
meat animals 1877 compared to 148,
and dairy products 1876 compared to
1870.
Wheat
With sufficient supply Of wheat
on hand until harvest, prices will
undoubtedly be influenced, chiefly by
the way the crop develops.
The condition of the winter wheat
crop in the United States was 7.6
per cent below tho 1O-year average
on June /. Spring wheat was I'd
per cent below the 1O-year average.
The production of wheat in Canada
will be reduced this year because Of
the smaller acreage which was re-
ported on June to be a reduction
of 25 per cent in Manitoba, 20 per
cent in Saskatchewan and 10 per cent
in Alberta. If these three estimates
are correct, the Canadian crop will
be reduced about 100000 acres in
these three provinces.
Rye
The acreage Of rye is estimated to
be SO per cent lower in the northern
hemisphere than last year. In the
United States the rye crop is prac-
tically the same as last year and is
so per cent better in condition than
the 1O-year average.
The price of rye has advanced
quite steadily from about 60 cents
in May, 1926. to approximately $l.O0
at the present time. 1t seems inn
probable that the price this fall will
exceed any large amount the prices
last fall of Is to s. cents per bushel.
Flax
Present indications are that the
general level of flax prices will be
as good or little better than they
were for the 1926 crop. The large
surplus Of flax from Argentina is
being absorbed rapidly. The con-
sumption of linsecd oil in Europe is
apparently increasing.
Sweet Clover
The late spring demand for sweet
clover seed dropped to almost moth
ing. Because of the comparatively
high prices for seed the past year,
many farmers contemplate making a
seed crop in 1927. There are ut
present considerable quantities of
sweet clover seed in storage that
will be carried over to next year.
Farmers will do we'll to consider US
ing cons iderable amounts Of their
sweet clover for forage because of
the danger of low prices for seed
this coming year.

Holiday to Be
Celebrated at
Wildwood Lake

With baseball games. music by
two bands, dancing to music by the
KFYR orchestra of Bismarck, and an
address by Judge Fred Jansonius, a
two-day celebration Of independence
Day will be staged at Wildwood lake
on July and A.
Wildwood lake is becoming known
the state as an excellent
place for fishing and boating and has
one of the finest bathing beaches in
the state. It is situated among shady
trees with splendid grove and
tables and stoves for the picnickers.
Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls and other
organizations are especially invited
to hold their outings there.
Wildwood lake is only 80 miles
from Bismarck on highway No. 6,
with well marked highway to the
lake. Many Bismarck people have
contracted to have cottages built
there during this summer. The re-
sort is owned by Hugh H. McCul-
loch and is under the management
Of Ray Hughes.

'2,283 CLAIMS
FOR HAIL Loss
FILED IN WEEK
Total For Year to June "a Is
2,76O as Compared With
1,949 Last Year

Claims for loss by hail totaled
2.283 during the week ending June
"a. a report by the state hail in
surance department shows. This
brings the total number of claims for
the season to 1850. At the same
time last year 1,940 claims had been
reported.
These figures, officials Of the de-
partment believe, indicate that more
acres are insured this year as we'll
as that more hail has fallen.
Stark county, with 812 claims re-
ported last week, led the list of 35
counties from which claims were re-
ccived. Morton was second with 1913
and kidder third with 2O1. Claims

department this year in connection
with the Northern Great Plains FIX

partment of agriculture at Mandan.
Test plots at the experimental
station recently were damaged by a

as would be done if insurance had

NORTH DAKOTA FARM OUTLOOK
FOR JULY
BY Rex E. Willard, Farm Economist
North Dakota Agricultural College
Alfalfa

n Alfalfa
The demand for alfalfa seed il
strong, particularly for Grimm
There seems to be no danger Of
creating a surplus of this seed, espe-
cially the certified, registered quail
ity. Other varieties than Grimm
should have little consideration by
Norh Dakota farmers.
~. Cattle
The weakness in the hog market
and the continued strength in the
cattle market in spite Of liberal sup
plies indicated sound basis for the
cattle industry. Cattle receipts al
the leading markets were greater in
May than for the five year average
but prices averaged the highest for
May since 1920. Receipts Of corn
finished cattle tended to increase in
the early part of June and the
demand for cattle suitable for sum-
mcr feeding appeared to decline.
Abundant pasture maintains keen
demand for stocker cattle.
Hogs
The indicated supplies of hogs for
ably below last year with large
proportion Of low quality hogs. I'm
der such conditions sharp seasonal
advance on good butcher hogs would
seem fairly certain.
Hog prices in May averaged $3.50
compared to $1,000 in April and $13.-
SIS in May, 1926. Further decline in
the early part Of June brought prices
down to approximately 50 per hun
dred. If this slump in hog prices
tends to restrict breeding for fall
pigs, it may prove a stabilizing fac
tor in the hoo business. Receipts
of hogs in seven leading markets
was Is per cent larger in May than
they were year ago. Storage
stocks were likewise greater.
Dairy Products
The seasonablc decline in price of
butter has narrowed the margin be-
tween domestic and foreign prices to
a point we'll below the tariff and i'm
ports have now stopped. Pasture
conditions which now. dominate the
supply situation are very favorable
and particularly in the butter pro-
ducing sections. Butter receipts at
the principal markets from January
to the end Of April were less than a
year ago but there was II per cent
increase in May over that month a
year ago. A further drop in the
price is largely dependent upon the
amount Of butter that goes to market
in the next few weeks.
Lambs
Consumers demand for lamb con-
tinues strong and lamb prices are
expected to continue for some
months on comparatively high level.
While supplies of fed lambs were
comparatively small and were made
up largely of shorn lambs from COM
mcrcial feed lots during May, this
shortage was more than offset by
large supplies in California and
Arizona and of grass sheep and year
lings from Texas. The Fargo price
on top lambs was SIG per hundred
from June to June Ia.
Wool
Present indications are that the
price Of wool will not make much
change in the next few months. The
North Dakota price has increased
about one cent a pound in the last
thirty days. Wool at the central
markets has shown some decline.
The consumption of wool appeared to
decline during the month of April
but was still higher than that Of
last year.
