Great Northern Assists

Il succeeded in working out ten
tative plan of financing bridge a.
cross Missouri river at Wolf Point
with cooperation of Great North

ly $4,000.
This completes matter of financ-

cation of bridge TO effect a slight
channel change in the course of
the Missouri river at Wolf Point.
Expense of such change will not
be large. viii you please take up
matter with war department and

making such change, and if cost
of same can be financed by that
department or on the appropriation
bill for rivers and harbors? Would
like to have you consult Mr.. Mac

determine if possible his attitude
on bridge project, whether or not
he would favor a short mileage
designation for such a project with
the understanding that in the near
future project will be on federal
highway system from the Canad-
ian line to Yellowstone park. State

FAMOUS MINNESOTA FARMER
SENATOR FULLY UP TO
HIS REPUTATION
So. African War Veteran Heads
Montana Division of the
Farmers Union

Magnus Johnson, of Kimball
Mimi, former senator from Mime
sofa, and J. j. O'Shea, of Roberts
Montana, were in Wolf Point
Thursday afternoon and evening.
Mr.. Johnson is just completing a
two weeks speaking tour through
northern Montana under the aus
pices of the Montana Division of
the Farmers Union. He address
ed a meeting at Glacier hall last
evening. 1t would be interesting
to give Mr.. Johnson's entire ad
dress but a brief summary will
suffice to show the purpose and
aims of the organization on whose
behalf he is making the tour. He
said in part:
This organization is national in
It's scope. We believe that the
farmers should organize and stand
together in order to better their
condition. We believe that the
farmers should have the right to
put price on their products that
will give them the cost of pro-
duction plus reasonable profit.
All the commodities that have
been raised on the farms of the
Northwest and that are going in
a steady stream to the eastern
markets of this country and also |
into European countries are sold |
at the foreign country price. All |
the commodities that the farmers
buy that are manufactured in the
eastern part of this country, the
clothing, machinery and practical
ly everything else that the farmers
use-have placed on them the do
mestic price, the cost-of-produc-
tion-plus-profit price, that is set by
the manufacturing company under
the protection of high tariff wall.
So | am asking for the same right
for the American farmer as the
rest of the people of this country
enjoy.
National Organization
1--WE do not intend to pull down
the price for anyone else, but
what we ask is that our price {
should come up to the level of l
the others. This organization that
| represent is national organiza- [
ton. 1t takes in the cotton and a
tobacco growers of Kentucky and g
other tobacco-growing states. The U
farmers of Kansas, Nebraska, Ok X
lahoma and Iowa are organized. L
The state of North Dakota set up U
! state organization three weeks Il
ago with a membership of some a
over 5000. This organization has e
several departments, the most i'm
)ortant of which is the Farmers
Union Terminal association, a grain d
elling organization, through which II
,ver three million bushels of b
rain has been marketed this sea- G
on. There is also a livestock u
gency in nine different terminal Il
markets of this country.

run, with one hand, not quite waist
high.
Then try making the bounces come
a little above the waist.
Then try bouncing it to the right
and again to the left.
Do all of these things on a dead run.
The good dribbler will use both high
and low bounces. The high bounce
makes speed. You can dribble faster
with a high bounce than with a low
one.
You must learn to run at full speed,
bouncing high and bouncing low, and
bouncing to right and bouncing to left,
and all the time keep your head up
and watch the field. That means that
you must be so good at bouncing the
ball that you'll know where 1t is COM
ing and where 1t is going without
really looking at it.
When dribbling always keep in mind
the location of the basket. This means
your eyes are directly on the other
players, with an unconscious slant at
the ball and another unconscious
slant at the basket, but you don't look
directly at either Of the latter.
Become good dribbler. You can
practice alone-a half hour at a time.

weight from the right to the left foot,

will suddenly find himself possessed of
a masterful and resultful swing. The
whole knack of the thing is right
there, and those few words describe
adequately the enormous difference
between swinging the clubhead. which

Here the left arm has Strengthened out
