IL is the belief of Mrs. Dougan
that "this business Of being a won
an" should in truth be treated as a
business. IL is Mrs. Dougan's mis-
sion in life to teach women the fun
d~amentals Of homemaking and point
out to them the new and more scien-
tific ways of preparing foods into
tempting dishes.
"The biggest single factor in
health and happiness is food" says
Mrs. Dougan. beginning in the
through high school and college,
girls are taught the scientific plan
ling Of meals, perfectly balanced and
attractive to the eye. This is done
with the thought that such training
is essential to those girls who ex-
pect to make a success Of their home
management"
The fiye-day school Of cookery
will give to the wome of Browns
Vile and the Valley an opportunity
Of receiving first hand information
from a recognized expert along these
lines. Economy will be stressed in
these lectures by Mrs. Dougan. for
she feels that the woman who can ex-
eel in the art Of cookery and ut the
same time save something from the
family budget is, after all, the true
artist.
The lectures will be free and all
women are invited to hear this series
of illuminating talks. The hours
will be $3.50 to 4:30 D. m.

the Wolf Point Air Ways Co.,
has made record for quick sale

plane received last Monday with
in a few hours after it reached

a car south of the river and en-
gagged the plane TO take him there.
This was to Fred Ahrens, the well
known farmer % miles southeast.
When salesman flies out to your
farm and you know he has some
thing good and desirable to offer
you, you simply can't refuse. Mr..
Ahrens bought the Olds and came
back in the plane to Wolf Point
to get it. The return trip took
only IA minutes. The beautiful
new car was taken to the field and
ranged beside the air craft and
both were snapped, also some of
the owners. officials and pilots.
Watch for the picture.

Scobey Farmer Lives
daniels County Leader)

c. H. Wilbur, who farms about
- miles west of Scobey, suffered
severe injuries the latter part OF
this week when a Hart-Parr trac-
tor which he was trying to couple
to a push binder ran over him
when he slipped and fell behind it.
The truck of the binder broke as
the big wheel of the tractor went
over it but it held the tractor high
enough to save Mr.. Wilbur's life.
He is now at the Arlington hotel
and suffering much pain, having
several broken ribs and has
bruises all over his body.
Mrs. Wilbur, who witnessed the
accident, lifted her husband into
the family car and rushed him to
Scobey. She says she does not
know how she did it and cannot
as she was on the
verge of nervous prostration.
This is the second time Mr.. Will
bur has had a narrow escape. Four
years ago he was caught between
the barn door frame and heavy
manure spreader hitched to
team which became frightened.

WOLF POINT FRIENDS

Former Governor Dixon flew in
to town last Monday aboard Sen.
Schnitzler's airplane Mr. Dixon
and party were swinging around
this end of the state campaigning
for the nomination for u. S. sen

a passenger and conveyed him to
Culbertson, Froid, Poplar and
Wolf Point. Flying from Poplar
to Wolf Point the pilot struck in
to a thunder storm and trying to
fly around it got way up in Dan

$1,000 Volts Fail
To Kill Line Worker
daniels County Leader)

One of the Montana-Dakota
line service men working east OF
Plentywood was terribly burned
and made a cripple for life one
day last week when his hand and
heel made the connection be-
tween the high power and ground
wires, $4,000 volts of alternating
current passing through his body.
His hand was terribly charred
and hole burned right through
the palm, bones, flesh and sinews,
so that a half-inch bolt could be
put through his hand without
touching him. His heel, from the
middle of his foot and up the back
about three inches, was COM
pletely burned off.
1t is a miracle that lie was not
instantly killed, but he remained
conscious and climbed down the
pole. He is now at a hospital in
Williston and will be patient for
many months.

6O96 SAFE AFTER
STORMY CRUISE
STORMS GIVE PILOT COOK A
HECTIC HALF DAY; NO
DAMAGE DONE

Jim Cook returned from Miles
City Tuesday evening with the
6096, the new Travelaire bi-plane
just purchased by the local Air
ways Company. Tuesday was a
cloudy day with local storms in
various localities, especially to
the south, and the young pilot
had the most trying and exciting
experience he had yet passed
through. 1t was a test that prov
ed both the air-worthiness of the
ship and the ability of Pilot Cook
to handle it.
Three separate electric storms
were encountered with wind and
great cloud banks to contend
with. The storms tended to
carry him off his course to the
west in his efforts to get around
them, and several times he found
it expedient to land Once he was
compelled to by shortage of
fuel. This landing was made
near Jordan. He finally arrived
south of Malta and came to Saco
where he landed again for rest
and then came home. The Ira
velaire behaved beautifully and
Jim brought it in entirely un-
damaged.

KNUT FOSS BACK FROM
HALF YEAR in NORWAY

Knut Foss arrived here Monday
from a six months visit with
friends in Stavanger, Norway.
Ole Foss. his brother, returned to
Norway several years ago and in
tends to remain there. Knut was
there five years ago and says he
finds but little change. The peo-
pie are dressing in modern styles
and appear prosperous, but COM
plain of hard times. Mr.. Foss
found nothing there to attract
him permanently, not even the
many good looking Norwegian
girls, and he's bachelor, at that.
He found most of his acquain-
tances to hold rather poor opin-
ion of America and = to be unim-
pressed by recitals of the advan-
tages and opportunities to be
found in Montana Mr. Foss be-
lieves that the chief reason for
this is found in the fact tnat about
all the news of America that
reaches Norway tells of crimes
and catastrophes OF a sensational
nature. They naturally get the
that it is wild law
ness dangerous country.
Mr. Foss was formerly a farmer
and stock raiser upon the Cotton
wood and is undecided as to his
future activities.

river and, when overtaken by
Leathers in a row-boat was found
to be the body of man. Attach
ing it to his boat he reached the
south bank after hard struggle,
and there received help in load

Request from Frazer
The same morning c. w. Ham
blin, who is in charge of the
broadcasting from the Wolf Point
remote control studio, received a
letter from Geo Westland of
Frazer, asking Hamblin to broad
cast the request for people along
the river to watch for the body
of Robert Mielke, who was acci-
dentally drowned at Frazer, July
5 The letter gave no description
by which the Frazer man could
be recognized, but from news ac-
counts his age was known and,
from the appearance of the body
found, it seemed probable that he
was the man drowned at Frazer.
At the direction of the county at
torney the county authorities
took charge of the body and it
was brought to Claytons under
taking parlor.
Body Identified
The news was communicated to
Frazer and in the afternoon, a
brother of Robert Mielke, and
others arrived and quickly identi-
fled the body as the one sought.
The body was taken to Frazer that
evening and the funeral held
there on Tuesday.
Robert Mielke lost his life
when riding as passenger in a
neighbor's car The driver in en-
deavOring to shift the position of
the car on the ferry, shot it off
into the water at a place where
there was no railing sufficient to
hold it. The hub of a wheel be-
came engaged against a post, a
circumstance of which the driver
was unaware. Thinking the /
wheels were slipping on the wet
deck, he gave the engine more
gas and the hub slipped past the
post suddenly, and the car went
into the river before the driver
could prevent it. There were two
persons in the car besides the
driver, and one of them and the
driver were rescued. James
Terry of this city who was ac-
quainted with Mr. Mielke, speaks
of him as fine man, always
courteous and accommodating.

DRY LAND FARMERS
FACE HARVEST LOSSES

Montana dry land wheat farm
ers face danger of heavy loss in
their 1928 harvest unless extra
ordinary measures are taken at
the present time to avoid this
loss, says M. L. Wilson, agricul-
tural economist for the Montana
Experiment station. Only by use
of special equipment and quick
adoption of new harvest methods
can many combine farmers pre-
vent a loss of from 10 to Is per
cent in harvest, he says.
Very dry weather was experien-
ced in April and May. In most of
the wheat country this resulted
in "patchy" termination of wheat,
some growing at once from the
small amount of soil moisture
found in favored patches in the
field, and other grain lying unger-
minated until after the June rains
began. AS harvest season ap-
proaches this results in very un-
even ripening of these patches of
grain and makes combining a SER
ious problem. Mr.. Wilson be-
lieves that this late terminated
grain will average 10 per cent in
the dry land spring wheat areas, |
enough to make heavy mixture |
of green and immature kernels in
the ripened grain from straight |
and thus cause heating
in the storage bins.
Mr.. Wilson urges that dry land
farmers who have large wheat
do not give up their
plans for buying a combine, as
lower average Yields this year
mean that the saving by the COM
bine m hod will justly the pur-
chase. but he urges tn combine
lwne~s start early to provide
windrowing equipment or the
