take place at the Farmer-Labor Tenn
pie Friday evening, December 10th,
when Bill Garner of Raymond and
Joe Moore of PlentywOOd will furnish
the thrills in a 10-round battle as a

effect that a little bad blood exists
between the two boxers, which will
tend to make the match still more
exciting. Both are training hard and
a mighty tough battle is looked for.
Red Bolster of Plentywood and
Howard Zenor of Forsyth are fighting
an eight-round semi-final. Red is
getting in shape for this bout ano
promises to look out for the clinches
in this battle.

Wheeler Chats on China in City Hall
IN THE LIMELIGHT
by P. ]. WALLACE


SENATOR WHEELER must have
noticed a change in the sentiment
of the people of these counties since
he was here some years ago. Then
he was met by deputatiOns at the
Railway Stations and amidst the
blare of music, escorted to his hO-
tel. He was wined and dined and
dined and the people went out of
their way to make a fuss over him.
But nOw-he comes into town like
a prune peddIer. There are no we'd
coming delegations at the depot.
No beaming faces to greet him in
the hotel lObbies. He addresses a
small meeting. There are no deaf
ening cheers as he makes his points
to the audience. He feels he is
treated espectfully-but how cold
ly. The frigid atmosphere gets
him and he loses his temper when
the lone farmer at the meeting asks
him a pertinent question. He gets
excited. He trembles with rage.
He makes insinuatiOns about the
people who failed to go to see him.
He goes too far-and he lies. The
law of compensation starts to work
the very next day of his life. He is
accused on the streets of the town
of being a Crook, "a liar" and a
"stOOlpigeOn". He threatens and
! busters and then-refuses to fight.
He literally runs out of town a dis
credited and disgraced man. A man
who could not deny the terrible
charges man not ''tOO proud to
fight" but one whose guilty con-
science turned his sanger glands
green with cOwardice.

MONTANA HARVESTS
7,26S,OOO BU. CORN

Helena. The November crop sum-
nary Of the United States division of
Group estimates shows that Montana
has harvested a corn crop this year
Of 7.26S,000 bushels, exceeded last
years crop by more than 100000
bushels. This latest figure brings the
1927 crop approximately 100000
bushels above the five year average
for the state. Mild weather during
the late fall is responsible for the IN
crease Of 100000 bushels over the
October estimate of 6,223,O0O.
Late harvestings OF flax bring the
figure for that crop up to 2,183,0 ,00C
as cOmparde with 1887, 900, the Octo.
Der estimate, and $4,000, the 1925
crop. The five year average fol
flaxseed is 1,l10,000 bushels.
The bean crop, according to tn,
November estimate, exceeds the 1922
crop by $4,000 bushels and the fiv,
year average by 68O,OO0 bushels.
The 1927 potato crop is now place,
at 100000 bushels which is an in
crease Of over two million bushel
over last years crop.
