STUDY SPREAD
OF CORN BORER
THROUGH STATE
U. S. Scouts Check Score
of Counties; Survey
Progresses Slowly.

While motorists submit to search
by corn borer quarantine patrols on
northern Indiana highways, Fed
eral scouts are. elbowing their way
through the cornfelds in more than
a score of counties to determine the
spread and extent of damage
chargeable to the pest in the State
this year.
Within month the verdict will
be known. Approximately thirty
scouts are working in the sixteen
counties, all or part of which are
now under the ban imposed by the
State conservation department.
Within three weeks this number
probably will have increased to fifty,
said Frank N. Wallace, State ento-
mologiSt, today.
"It is too early to predict the
spread or extent of the corn borers'
ravages this year. Wallace said.
Another month will tell the story.
Scouts are carefully examining
fields, scrutinizing the corn blades
for the tell-tale punctures inflicted
by the borers' larvae when the corn
was couple of feet high. The sur
veyS, necessarily, are slow. A little
later they will be easier when the
tassels on infected stocks will drop
over"
This years fight to eradicate the
borer is the third since it put in
its appearance in northeastern Indi-
ana in 1926. That year, Wallace
said, the wcTst infection was found
in forty-scre field of corn in De
Kalb County. where $50 corn borers
we're discovered.
Thus far, Indiana has escaped
with less than one infected stock in
100 examined. But Wallace fears
that this year, for the first time,
infection in some localities will eX-
coed this per cent.
The State employs but the Gov
eminent pays the quarantine patrols
stationed on twenty-four State
highways in northern Indiana.
Working in shifts, the patrols stop

news account of the sale of the Mon
tana properties of the Clark estate, is
signed by Mr.. Clark. 1t, in the first
instance, says that the desire of the
late Senator w. A. Clark was that the
properties of his estate in Montana
should be kept intact by the five equal
heirs to the end that they might be
developed and extended, but that the
other heirs than himself have SEEM
ingly been "recreant to this trust"
The circumstance is brought out that
the sale of the Clark properties to the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company is
contrary to the wishes of himself. 1t
is further stated that he will continue
to be resident of the state and that
he expects to acquire new interests.
A further announcement is made
in the Butte Miner of Wednesday
morning that the Montana Free Press
an afternoon daily paper with a Sun
day morning edition, will begin publ
cation in Butte en- or about Sept. 10.
1t is stated that lease for a period
of 10 years has been secured with a
proposition to buy the Howard Rock
efeller property located at 100 North
Main street 1t is announced that the
Montana Free Press is a personal bus
mess venture of w. A. Clark, Jr.
that equipment for a complete outfit
has been purchased and that new
presses and type setting machinery
will be in place along with other ne
cessary equipment in time for the
opening of the paper about the mid
die of September. 1t is further stat
ed that United Press service will be
used for this afternoon paper with g
Sunday morning edition.

WALTER REDEEM HAS
NARROW ESCAPE
Ton Torn From Car and Eye Badly
Cut When Young Man Meets Com
bine Loaded on Truck.

Walter Redden had a narrow es-
cape from what might easily have
been serious accident, when he met
an International truck loaded with a
combine, driven by Matt Moe, on the
road to his home five miles east of
Plentywood, with a Chevrolet run
about, Wednesday evening.
The combine was too large to rest
on the truck without extending over
the side several feet. Redden says
that he didn't see the combine in the
dark projecting over the left side of
the road until he felt the compact and
had his head almost wrenched from
his shoulders so it seemed, and his car
badly damaged.
A deep cash was cut under his eye
and several stitches were taken by a
DOCTOR Whether the eye will be saw
ed is question at this time.

New Grain Loader Installed
Along Great Northern Track

A new grain loading machine was
set up and put in place Monday be-
tween the stockyards and storage
house on the south side of the rail-
road tracks west of the depot. The
new machine, which is made by the
John Deere Manufacturing Co, and
purchased through the Plentywood
Implement Co. by Harry Weight, will
unload a wagonload of wheat in a
few minutes and elevate it into the
car. Mr.. Weight says that he feels
the farmers will get more by ship
ping their grain themselves than by
hauling it to the elevators.

governor had sat up in bed five or
six minutes while he ate breakfast,
and throughout the day seemed to be
making steady progress.
1t was Sunday night, however, that
a change was noted, and from then
on he constantly failed.
Ill Longer Than Was Known
Governor Sorlie had been confined
to his home only a little more than
four weeks. Previous thereto he had
experienced some heart trouble but
his condition was not regarded as
serious. In fact the trouble seems to
have dated back over a period of two
years though the fact was not public
ly known. Shortly after he was order
ed to his bed the governor made a
trip to Mckenzie county where he
participated in the dedication of the
Little Missouri river bridge. There
after he made a motor trip through
the Bad Lands and Immediately ON
his return from Medora, he went on
to Hatton, N. D., for the Ben Ellison
Homecoming.
At Hatton, scheduled for an address
at the evening banquet, the governor
complained of "being tired and he
Cancelled the evening engagement. He
went by car to Grand Forks, return
ing to Bismarck within a day or two.
Upon his return from Hatton the
governor went to a Bismarck clinic
and it was there found how serious
was the condition of his heart. He
was ordered to bed with instructions
that he should have absolute rest.
Insisted ON Performing Duties
Governor Sorlie did not take the
advice seriously. He insisted upon at.
tending to such official duties as was
necessary, such as the signing of al
state papers, etc., and during the first
two weeks that he was home he Wis.
tied a great deal with friends. Their
came a turn and he was ordered Il

MARATHON WINNER HOE|NG PEAS TO-DAY 's
 WITH SINGING HEART

There were those on the sidelines who were unusually happy when Eph- raim Kalmakoff (Epheem, to his school fellows) smiling and almost fresh came under the rope Wednesday
 afternoon, after having broken all previous rcords in Stewards great Marathon race
 Those who live with 'Epheem' and know him are genuinely fond of him, then too, they knew that he is a great little runner and a greater climber and slider It was all of this and yet more that made them shout them selves hoarse and kept them up long past the accustomed time for bed at an impromptu supper served in the kitchen at Jesse Lee Home. It was vindication of their faith in him Hot cocoa, sandwiches, ice cream and cookies vanished as they discussed
 the events of the day. Said Benny Benson, T was bettin' on him." How
 much did you bet Benny?" "Ah Gee,
 I didn't bet money, I just knew he could do it." Just so, they knew he could do it and could have done it last year had he run.
 l We'll, why didn't he? And thereby l hangs a tale. Ephraim tried out and made entry for the race last year. The Fourth of July came on Tuesday but tourists in town over the week end begged to see the race on Sunday afternoon and it was so arranged. Careful teaching on Sabbath Day ob- seryance had registered He came in to the office Saturday afternoon. They say the race will be run tomor- row, what shall I do?' He was told. 'fYou are old enough to decide that, do what you think is right" He decided not to run.
 At this particular time Mrs. Annie Hobbs Woodcock, National Secretary of Junior work of the Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal church happened to be in Seward. A guest at Jesse Lee Home. She called the lad to~ her room and Gues toned him about his decision. To 'Epheem' it was matter of fact. I'll think could win, but not on Sunday I'll try next year"
 Mrs. Woodcock had wonderful time in Alaska, and on~a speaking tour which took her from California to [ Baltimore and back again she told of the generosity of the people of Seward [ that had made her trip to Alaska pos ible and of the little brown children in Jesse Lee Home that had so com pletely won her heart and of the boy who didn't run the race.
 Speaking in Dayton, O, before a group of women, Mrs. Woodcock in [ her winsome and charming manner told the story. Immediately Mrs. I. D. Jones of Cincinnati, one of the Ma tional Vice presidents of the w. H.l M. S., arose with a dollar bill in her hand Said she No boy loses any thing by being true to his principles. Let this dollar be the first of 100 to be sent to 'Epheem' for the stand he has taken. So it was that on Christmas day at the dinner hour a check for i $115.0O was presented to 'Epheem', a gift from the women of the Dayton
