Braves Score Decisive Victory
Over S. D. Elcyen-Heidt
Proves StardOm Claim

With George Hcidt displaying his
best and with the team working
with a amcothness and speed SUPER
ior to that shown ir previous games,
tuc Mondan Braves defeated Mo-
bridge at Motridgc Saturday by a
t1-O score.
Football coaches, visiting Mo,
bridge when the game was played,
agreed that Heidi deserves rank as
TN all-Dakote player. Spectators at
the game said lie played the greatest
football Of his career.
Although The score was 51-O, the
game was b. TO means easy. Man.
dan relied mainly on its passing and
this, coupled with its fleet backs,
helped bring victory.
Seit: scored two touchdowns,
Heidi one, Jarvis two, Fleck one,
Russell one and Mcdonald one. Nc
Donald made one extra point and
Heidi two.
Long runs contributed to making
the game spectacular. For the
fourth counter, Fleck dropped back
as if for a kick, but instead Of kick
ing ran 20 yards for touchdown.
On the kickoff in the fourth quarter,
Heidi received the ball and ran IS
yards for touchdown. Jarvis, for
the next score ran 40 yards. The
last score came when Russell got off
kick which the safety man was
forced to run back and get. When
he got the ball, he was tackled with
such force on the five-yard line that
the ball flew out Of his hands and
over the goal. Russell dashed over
and fell on it.
Functioning 100 per cent, the Man.
dan team played brilliant football.
AS a result Of the way in which Mo-
bridge was beaten, fans are looking
forward to a victory over Minot in
Saturdays game.

fed than last season. In South Da-
kota eve lambs and yearling ewes
are in good demand with a demand
for old ewes coming from the eastern
section IF the state. Montana eve
lambs are in demand at from Il IL
to 14c, with tendency to hold ewes.
In Wyoming there is a strong de-
mand for sheep. Sheep are in very
good flesh throughout the range
states, with only limited areas in
parts Of Utah, Nevada, and south
western Wyoming showing unfavor-
able winter range prospects because
of poor range and shortage Of feed.
A strong local demand exists for all
eve lambs and yearling ewes. Most
eve lambs suitable for breeding will
be held. old ewes are not in such
strong demand from local sources
as last season.

ing in eastern sections Of the state
In the northeast, frosts caused con-
siderable damage to both flax and
wheat. However, better than aver
age yields in the western and south
western sections hold up the state
yield fairly well.
A late season has held up the
seeding Of fall rye. BY October Is
about Is per cent of the crop was in
the ground. Reporters estimate that
the average will be smaller than
usual due to dry weather and late
seeding.
Cattle and Lamb Feeding
According to the United States
Department Of Agriculture report,
the percentage Of cattle fed this win.
ter will be considerably less than
last year due to a much smaller
supply Of feeder cattle with result
ing high prices, q shortage in corn
crop, and short pastures in feeding
sections during August and Septem-
Der. Improved corn crop prospects
in September with consequent reduc-
ton in price may stimulate de-
niand for feeders in the corn belt.
For North Dakota, indications point
to q decrease in the number Of cat
tie on feed owing to. short supplies
Of feeder cattle and high prices re-
sultin1.
According to the October first in
dications, lamb feeding will show q
material decrease in the corn belt
states, but . decided increase in the
western states. Shipments Of feed
err lambs consigned to corn belt
states during July to September, in
elusive, showed ! 80 per cent de-
crease as compared with the same
period last year. The increase IN
feeding in western states is due to
. large increase in Colorado where
Il is estimated that from SOC, 900 TO
100000 more lambs will Be fed this
year than last. For North Dakota,
although not much lamb feeding is
carried On, indications point to 2 de-
crease of from 5 to 10 per cent.

gold and silver coins to the crowd

"Long live the king" screamed the

the coins.
He lived to be 81 years old, and
the other day down in Cambodia,
Indo- China, the little French pro-
