Bert H. Lang, chairman Of the
tornado relief committee, declared
the relief work "had just begun"
"Ahead is the rehabilitation pro.
gram which will take weeks to COM
plete," he said. $50 far as the Red
Cross has been able to ascertain, no
one is in immediate need Of shelter
or food"
Big Problem Ahead
Seventy-five per cent of the emer-
gency housing cases have been taken
care Of, he said. The big problem
ahead is rehabilitation, which will
not get under way for another week.
Public utilities were getting the
situation well in hand. Nearly half
Of the $4,000 telephones damaged by
the storm have been repaired. The
Union Electric Light and Power
company said they expected to have
power service resumed in all but q
few places by tonight. Street car
service has been reestablished.

Missouri Slope Can
Raise Euge Squashes

Weighing 1876 pounds and over q
foot high, a squash that is believed
to hold record for size and weight
in this section was shown here to-
day.
The squash was grown on the
farm Of J. P. Hess, Mandan, near
Glen Ullin by Frank Lang, who is
renting the land. It was given no
more care than other farm vegeta-
bles. Its size and weight was point
ed to as evidence that the Missouri
Slope doesn't have to take q back
seat for any district when it comes
to raising vegetables.
The vegetable is to be on display
in the windows Of the First Ma.
tional bank Of Maudan.

PIRATES AND
YANKS READY
FOR 1ST GAME
Downpour Yesterday Halt
Practice, But Weather Man
Remains Optimistic
TICKETS ARE ALL SOLD
Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig
Show in Practice That Home
Runs Can Be Made
BY BRIAN BELL

Pittsburgh, Oct. 4-(AP)-Pirat.>
and Yankees campcd today on the
outskirts of the battlefield and watt
ed for coy sun to do its duty in
drying out Forbes field for the first
game Of the world series tomorrow.
Rain yesterday brought rest to
the players, needed by the Pirates
but not by the Yankees, anxious to
put the finishing touches on their
preparations. The rain came when
the Yankees had had only a few
minutes batting practice and kept
the Pirates off the field altogether.
However, the downpour brought
no rest to the carpenters building
temporary seats which have already
been sold. The craftsmen wrestled
with slippery hammers and saws as
they built benches to seat 1000
more than the big playing field nor
mally offers hospitality.
Scalpers Have Tickets
The sound of the hammers beat
time to q cry from the fans for
tickets, and more tickets. But there
were no tickets except in the hands
of spectators, who think they are
worth much more than their price
tag would indicate. The scalpers
hope the sentimental value Of the
pasteboards will be realized before
game time.
With dayko pass before the first
act of the annual classic can be
staged, Pittsburgh was practically in
the hands Of the experts. Old in
habitants said the stronghold Of the
bold Buccaneers had never before
been subjected to such intensified
exporting.
Most Of the information came
straight from the feed box, many Of
the players using the hands that
will later WELD bats and toss curves
to pound typewriters in giving the
fans the "low down." This informa-
ton has been valuable and consistent
thus far. Every Yankee writer has
predicted victory for the American
League, while the Pirate scribes to
man pick the National League
entry.
The Burning Question
The fans seem to have arrived at
the conclusion that there is the
question mark at the end of the
world series sentence.
"Can the pitching of the Pirates
still the mighty bats of the YAM
kees?"
There are many questions that
only Wednesday Afternoon can an

tary uprising, the revolutionary
movement in Mexico, allegedly in

the field.
Thousands Of loyal federal troops,
with airplanes, were pursuing them.

opposed by Serrano and Gomez, has
pledged his aid in the military cam
paign against them.

way Of Tampico, says Serrano has
already been captured and executed.
