Interest 70 New Britain fans as
whola, will b. played at Willow
Brock park next Sunday when the
Nutmees and Ali-Bridgeport clash.
This should be the resumption Of
the intense rivalry that existed be-
tween the two clubs last year.
In the game In Bridgeport, out and
out efforts were made by the Park
City players to rid the game OF
"Zsv'' Graham and other stars on
the squad. These were all unsuc-
cessfu and despite the rough play,
New Britain easily won the game.
Most Of the same squad will be in
New Britain Sunday. Last year more
than 800 fans from this city at
tended the game in Bridgeport. This
Sunday the same crowd, augmented
by many others will be on hand.
Bridgeport IL sending q good assem-
blags Of Park City fans and it be-
gins to look like big crowd Sunday.
Manager Clarence Lanpher of the
New Britain basketball team is ready
70 start work with his basketball
squad for the coming season. He
plans 4 practice either next week or
the week following. He hasn't yet
announced the names of his players
but expects to have one OF the
strongest teams available for the
seasons campaign.
The girls team candidates work
out tonight for the first time. About
20 Of the women players are ex-
pected to be on hand at the Stanley
Arena for the practice. Out of this
crew. Z good team should be formed
able to compete equally with most Of
the teams In the state league.
OF course, the local team will have

competition with the other teams
about Connecticut. 1t would be a
foolish thing to attempt to enter
this competition which is really fast
with 4 team that didn't measure UT

Cut Bank Man Gets
7O-Bushel Wheat, Acre

Cut Bank, Oct. 4.-From a 40
acre field of supreme wheat j. C.
Haglund threshed $500 bushels,
or 70 bushels to the acre, a yield
that in all probability has smash
ed the world record for wheat pro-
duction.
81 had felt for some time that
this patch of wheat was a little
out of the ordinary, but of course
did not expect such a yield as
this" said John Haglund. 81 had
been over the country and had
noted nearly all the better fields,
but it seemed to me that the heads
of this patch were longer and full
Ter than in most other fields.
81 expected to thresh around so
bushels to the acre and had built
bins in the field to store it on that
basis, but / had to buy material
for two more bins before we fin
ished. When we got into this
field the straw was so heavy that
it was almost impossible for the
combine pickup to handle it. We
ran the engine in low gear and
sometimes we had to stop momen-
tarily to permit the machine to
take care of it. 1t took us four
days to thresh the grain on this

FOR
DRYS TO RECALL
GOV. SMITH PLEDGED TO WET
PROGRAM; NOT MEN,
ED HERE

Dry voters Of Montana should
not forget that Governor Alfred e.
Smith of New York is a wet and
is pledged to notification of the
18th amendment, in spite of the
fact that he did not mention his
attitude toward liquor in his Hell
ena speech and seemed to have
dropped the issue during his in
vasion Of the west, says, Rev. w.
l.. Wade, superintendent of the
Montana Anti-Saloon league.
prohibition is an issue in Mon
tana this year and is also an issue
in the national election as much
as Governor Smith apparently
would like to have the people Of
the west forget it," said the state
ment of Mr.. Wade.
Reserves Wet Argument
Montana voters are to decide
whether they are to have a state
prohibition law, and the peculiar
nature of the measure they are to
vote on makes it important to
them what kind of a man occupies
the presidents chair. The Mon
tana measure provides that the
national prohibition act become
the state law, and that any change
in the national act shall be effec-
tive in Montana. Should a wet
president and congress be select
ed the Montana dry act might be
nullified even though it had pass
ed by a tremendous majority in
this state.
"Since Governor Smith has
been in the west he seem to have
sensed the situation here and to
have come to the conclusion that
his wet speeches had better be de-
livered in his own state, but in
spite of his silence Montanans
should not forget his pledges that
he is to work for a modification
of the Volstead act and for state
sale of liquor, in other words put
ting Montana into the business Of
making ~drunkards."

ran to stop them and as he was
about to succeed the reach Of the
wagon broke and he was knocked

it was necessary to shovel out the

BUTTER RATES
TO BE LOW Err
Eggs, Poultry and Butter
Rates from North Dakota
to Duluth Affected

Washington, D. c., June 18.-(P)
-Readjustment of rates on butter,
eggs and dressed poultry moving to
Duluth was ordered today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission,
on the theory that existing sched-
ules are unduly preferential to Chi
cago and prejudicial to Duluth.
Railroads were ordered to make
new rates effective by August 25.
The commission described the new
rate base as giving Duluth charges
equal to lis per cent of the Chi
cago scale from South Dakota, and
Northern Nebraska points, while
from North Dakota and Northern
Minnesota the Duluth schedule will
be .120 per cent of the Chicago
scale.
To guide the roads in making
schedules, the commission laid
down two distance schedules by
which shipments from South Da-
kota, Northern Nebraska and South
ern Minnesota territory will pay 20
172 cents per 100 pounds for dis
tances Of 10 miles. "a cents for dis
tances Of 500 miles and 1857 for
distances of 1,1O0 miles from North
Dakota and Northern Minnesota.
The distance scale, begun at 2l 1-2
cents for ten mile distances, rose to
81 1-2 cents for 500 miles and
reached $1.70 1-2 for 100 miles.
Proportionate charges for inter-
mediate distances were provided in
both scales. The decision resulted
from re-examination of former
decision on the same subject.

MOBILE SIGHTS
TWO AIRPLANES
Norwegian Flyers Return to
Base Ship Reporting No
Glimpse of Italia Crew

Rome, June 18.-(P-The Stefani
News Agency announced today that
General Mobile had informed the
base ship Citta di Milano by radio
that he had seen two seaplanes fly
ing to rescue him. He said he had
pointed out his exact situation to
the planes.
Captain Riiser-Larsen and Lieu
tenant Luetzow Holm, the flyers,
however, returned from their flight
and reported they had not seen the
missing men of the Italia. They
flew from the ice breaker Braganza
which sailed to the north Of Spitz-
bergen with their plane aboard.
The men returned to the ship
after a flight of an hour over the
district where the group Of surviv-
ors headed by Mobile was thought
to be. They said they did not see
the tent which he had painted red to
guide them despite the good WIS.,
ibility.
Mobile in his wireless message
asked advice as how to treat the
shin bone Of his right leg which was
fractured when the cabin of the
Italia was torn off by striking the
ice cap. He said the fracture was
about ready to heal.
The two airmen took off at six
o'clock last night from the steam.
ship Braganza and flew from
Northcape to the poin, where Gen.
eral Mobile and his five companions
are on the ice five lies east of
Foyn Island. Both planes carried
provisions and clothes for the
stranded men but the aviators saw
nothing of them or of their eleven
companions who have been missing
for many weeks.
Although the flyers in their two
planes apparently were over Gen.
eral Mobile and his men over a pc
riod Of at least one hour, they saw
nothing of them.
This information was felt at
Kings Bay to indicate how difficult
it will be to locate the Mobile party
on the wide ice terrain where they
are stranded.

PARENTAL REFUSAL !.
DIDN'T STOP AMELIA

Los Angeles, June 1S.-(E-A pic
ture of his daughter as a slight but
determined girl, who didn't let par
entail disapproval stand in the way
Of her learning to fly, was drawn here
today by Edwin S. Earhart, father
OF Amelia Earhart, who, with two
companions, hoped off yesterday in

an attempted transatlantic flight.
Earhart, Los Angeles attorney,
although he disapproves Of his
daughters flying, could not conceal
his pride as he told Of her air and
scholastic exploits and .snok- Of her
courage and unwavering nerve.
Miss Earhart came to Los Angeles
after her graduation from Columbia
university. One of the first things
she did was to buy an airplane and
learn to operate it. All this was
without the knowledge of her father.
Has Flown 500 Hours
"You see," said Earhart,. "she is
wealthy in Ler own right, so there
was nothing to prevent her buying
two or three planes if she wanted
them. When / first discovered that
she was flying told her that was
strongly agai. st it, hn. that was
about all | could do abou it, under
the circumstances. She was then
about 10 or 20 years Of age. Since
then, l understand, from Comman-
der Byrd, she has spent fully 5Ce
hours in the air, and during tn.
time she never has had an accl-
dent"
After she finished her elementary
schooling she was sent to . girls
school in Philadelphia. Earhart
characterized her progress % "phs-
nomenal," and said she graduated ia
two years.
