RYDER STANDS
ON PAST RECORD
REPRESENTATIVE HAS BEEN
TOO BUSY FARMING TO
CAMPAIGN

Arthur Ryder, who is running
for reelection as state representa-
tive, was in Wolf Point Thursday.
Mr.. Ryder says he has been so
busy caring for his 10000 bushel
crop, that he has not had time to
get out and campaign actively.
Mr.. Ryder is a tractor farmer
and has made a good success of
wheat raising on his farms north
of Brockton and near Froid, his
home. Although he has thresh-
machine which he bought about
two years ago, this year Mr.. Ryder
harvested his grain with COM
bine and figures that he has more
than paid for the machine by the
saving it made him on this years
crop.
Mr.. Ryder is enthusiastic over
the farming possibilities of cas-
tern Montana. "There isn't an
other place in the United States, |
venture to say, where one con go
out and year after year raise a $15
crop off from $40 land" he said.
"The cry is raised" he said,
"that the farmer is paying war
prices for what he buys, and re-
ceiving pre-war prices for his
grain. The fact of the matter is
that with modern improved mach
inery, the cost of production has
been so much lowered that he can
make a profit even when the base
price of wheat is only a dollar,
particularly when he is able to get
a good protein premium. Quantity
production is necessary, however,
if one is to make money raising
wheat. If one has a small farm OF
a quarter or half section OF land'
he must supplement his gram
raising by raising cattle, hogs and
poultry, because the growing OF
wheat only occupies part OF the
year. We are never going to see
again such hard times as we ex-
perienced about ten years ago,
for farmers are farming more
scientifically and adapting their
methods to the soil and climate"
In his campaign to be reelected
as state representative, Mr.. Ryder
says that the only arguments he
has to offer are his record in the
legislature coupled with the fact
that, other things being equal,
man who has had experience as
legislator, is in a better position
to serve his constituents than one
who is inexperienced, since he has
learned the ropes of the game.
AS a matter of interest some OF
the things are mentioned here for
which Mr.. Ryder voted when in
the legislature. He worked for
and put through the common
school equalization fund which re-
suited in Roosevelt county's get
ting S23,O28 in 1928 as compared
with S6,661 in 1926. He worked
for the passage of the gasoline
law, which gives back to the far
mer three cents a gallon for every
gallon used in tractors. He voted
and worked for a number of other
pieces of constructive legislation
during his two terms in the legis-
Iature.

JUST A TRAVELLER
ON ROAD TO RUIN

Deputy Council had strange
caller at the county Jail about IL
o'clock one night recently. After
urgent requests the visitor was
admitted and allowed to tell his
story. He said he was an attorney
from Butte and gave his name as
Elderkin. He was on the trail OF
girl and was sure she was in
Wolf Point. About a year ago
this girl and a man known as Red
Mcclellan were arrested at Havre
on a charge of selling drugs. Law
yer Elderkin signed their bonds
in the sum of $4,000 but was never
able to locate them afterward or
get them into court.
Elderkin was about ready to
give up the search and feared he
was out the $4,000 as the case
could not be postponed longer.
Then he got a letter from the girl.
1t was just friendly rambling
note that told him very little but
indicated she was here or in this
vicinity. She had gone by various
aliases among them Mrs. j. w.
Anderson, Miss Jamison, Rolla
Bottom, and N. B. Wilson. Her
real name is believed to be Stella
Foster.
Arrested At Poplar
Deputy Council went with his
visitor on a round of the hotels
and rooming houses the same
night without success. The next
day the search was renewed.
Once Elderkin found her and talk
ed with her but she convinced him
she was not the girl wanted. She
had changed greatly and slid down
the toboggan of appearance and
self respect.
The second day Council went to
A certain rooming house keeper
and told him he (the r. h keeper
knew where the girl was and that
ne (the officer) wanted to know
where. The r. b. keeper finally
came through and said she was in
Poplar. A Poplar officer located
Ter and the attorney went and got
1er. She was a pitiful specimen,
Council says, a drug addict in an
advanced stage and disease ridden.
Elderkin took her to Havre
where Red Mcclellan had also
been located, and got released
rom his bond.

BENRUD- -WASKA-V0LT

For a number of years an eff
fort has been made to get a di-
rect mail route from Wolf Point to

returning to Wolf Point by way
of Volt. This will be tri-weekly
service, mail leaving Wolf Point

SCARLET FEVER
BEING WATCHED

The number of cases of scarlet
fever has increased to five inside
and one outside the limits. These
are Jean Marshall, Ruth Stephens,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. R. l..
Stephens, Viola Hembd, daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. R. H. Hembd and
Joyce Shamley in the city and
Aileen Rothe. The homes have
been placed under quarantine and
it is expected that the disease will
be checked soon. There has been
only one new case this week.
DR.. DeWane, health officer, says
that serum has been received for
the purpose of vaccinating chill
dren who have been exposed to
the disease.
In order that the spread of the
disease may be checked parents
should watch their children care
Gully. Sore throat, fever, swollen
strawberry" tongue and a fine
rash are symptoms. Sometimes
the rash is so slight as to be over
looked. Sometimes the illness
starts with vomiting. Scarlet rev.
er is a treacherous disease, ana
though in recent years 1t has gen
orally been more mild than for
merly, the after effects are often
serious. Eye trouble, running
ears, kidney or heart trouble may
result from scarlet fever. Tne
proper care can usually prevent
these, however.
Parents are advised to keep chill
dren under school age at home as
much as possible and older chill
dren when not in school should
not he allowed to run about the
streets. The teachers at school
are watching the pupils closely
and those who appear to be com
ing down with something are
sent home as matter CT protec-
ton for we'll children.
There is some chicken pox ana
whooping cough, but not many
cases have been reported, ana
these appear to be mild.

EXTRAsSESSION OF CONGRESS
HOOVER'S PLEDGE TO FARMER
BELIEVES AGRICULTURAL RE-
LIEF RANKS FIRST AMONG
ISSUES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81 Her
bert Hoover announced that if the
Republican party is returned to
power he would call an extra ses-
sion of congress to deal with farm
relief if adequate legislation should
not be enacted at the coming ses-
sion.
"The question of a special ses-
sion of congress after March 4 in
the event of the return of the Re-
publican party has been under
discussion for some time," said
formal statement issued by the
Republican presidential candidate.
Most Urgent Problem
There are a number of ques-
tions, particularly agricultural re-
lief, which urgently require solu-
tion and should not be delayed for
a whole year. 1t is our most ur-
gent economic problem.
81 should hope it can be dealt
with at the regular session this
fall and thus special session
avoided. If, however, that cannot
be accomplished, would, if elect
ed not allow the matter to drift
and would of necessity call an ex-
ira session so as to secure early
constructive action"
Under the Hoover plan the new
/ 70 hA oil
Der would be summoned to
Washington perhaps in April with
the hope that an agricultural
mesaure embodying his program
for farm relief could be enacted in
time for it's operation in the hand
ling of the 1929 crop.
This is the program which SEN
ator Borah, of Idaho, proposed in
a formal statement late yesterday.
While both Hoover and Borah are
hopeful of action by the present
congress, the session to start early
in December will continue only
three months under law and u.s.
ually little general legislation has
been enacted at these short ses-
sions because of the pressure Of
enacting the annual supply bills.
To Avoid Long Delay
If a special session of the new
congress were not called after a
failure of the present congress to
act, it would be two years before
farm relief measure could be
brought into actual operation.
Hoover's program for relief, as
outlined in his speech of accep-
tance and reiterated in his West
Branch, Iowa, and Elizabethton,
Tenn, addresses, calls first for in
creased tariff protection for farm
a more adequate mar
keting program and the creation of
a farm board to which would be
given federal financial aid in hand
ling the crop surpluses.
In his forthcoming speech at
st. Louis on November 2, the Re-
publican presidential candidate is
expected to go more into the ac-
tual details of his farm aid propo-
sal, outlining each more in detail,
both as to structure and the
methods of operation
President Coolidge is expected to
deal with agricultural relief in his
final annual message to congress
in December and it known that ag-
ricultural leaders in the two
houses will urge measures of
some of the pending measures
which are designed to bring relief
to the nations basic industry.

that emotional balance of head
and heart which every woman
needs for her maturity. I do not
honestly believe that any woman
can find that balanNe save
through marriage.
You do not yet realize that you
need that balance. Life is album
and a.whirl with new experiences,
and you are caught in its dizzy
riot. It's enough, as yet, to watch
the show--to play. But some day
soon you will awake and find that
playtime isn't enough. You won't
fit into the play world any longer.
You will want to go into the
greater adventures. You will want
that power and charm and under
standing which come to the
ripened woman.
BUT YOU'LL NEVER KNOW
WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT UN-
LESS YOU MARRY, PEGGY.
"Poohr' you cry. IT don't be-

SO much. But living with that
man does matter tremendously.
The mysterious mingled irritation
and delight that come when you re
forced to share your daily life with
another nature-the adjustments
to a different code--the compro-
mises-the unconscious conflict,
the conscious companionship
even the quarrels-all these ex.
periences matter tremendously.
They are the processes that bring
a woman's spirit to its maturity.
without them she remains incom.
plete.
"But suppose she picks the
wrong man? Suppose he doesn't

Strangely enough, that doesn't
matter greatly, Peggy. Happiness

live, to live abundantly.
