Downward Trend Inspired in

Credit Situation.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April l4-The stock
market retreated today under heavy
selling. inspired In part by renewed
fears over the credit situation. Per-
sistent reports circulated through Wall
Street that another increase in rediS-
count rates was coming soon. and many
professional traders took occasion to
tighten their holdings on the possibility
OF such a development. The recent in
crease in time money and bankers ac-
ceptance rates. the further exports OF
gold and increasing comercial demands
for funds seemed TO lend color to the
higher rediscount rate theory.
An opening break of about 5 points

INNING BASEBALL GAME

A large attendance of fans from
the Southside and Wolf Point
were on hand to witness the Vida
Wolf Point ball game Sunday af
ternoon. The game had been post
poned from the Sunday before
and the hard shower ended the
game in the fourth inning, which
was big appointment to
everybody. The score stood 8 to
0 in favor of Wolf Point, but the
Southsiders had hit their gait
and were going in good shape.
What the result would have been
had the contest gone the nine inn
ings it is hard to say, but it is
hoped that the teams will be able
to meet again and go the full
route to settle the question OF

LINDY'S FEMININE
DOUBLE HOPS ATLANTIC

BURY PORT, Wales June
18.-Carrying the first woman to
cross the Atlantic by air, the
American monoplane Friendship
gracefully swept down on BURY
Estuary on the south coast of
Wales, shortly after noon today,
completing brilliant 2,000-mile
hop across the northern Atlantic
in 20 hours and 46 minutes
1t was more than just a hop
across the Atlantic for Miss Am
ella Earhart, Boston social work
ed, who was one of the crew of
the plane-she took her turn at
the stick just as did Wilmer
Stultz the chief pilot in the long
journey through mist and rain
that marked most of the trip.
Miss Earhart is said to bear a
marked physical resemblance to
Col. C. A. Lindbergh.
Out of gas and seeking for a
haven, Stultz brought the great
plane down gently between BURY
Port and Llanelly and brought
her to a stop with the noses of
her pontoons just touching the
shore.

OSSETTE PARTY PAYS
VIDA FRIENDLY VISIT

The people of the Ossette COM
munity, over in Valley county,
have fine spirit of cooperation.
They enjoy and appreciate the
privilege of listening to the pro-
grams broadcast from station
KGCX, Vida. After arranging
with E. e. Krebsbach, manager of
KGCX, party of Ossette people,
five cars in all, came to Wolf
Point last Friday and went on to
Vida Saturday morning. Two of
the number, Mrs. Baird, a vocal
soloist, and lady whose name
was not learned, who is a talent
ed pianist, took part in the pro-
gram broadcast Saturday noon.
Mrs. Baird, at least, formerly was
a radio performer in Illinois and
greatly appreciates the unusual
privilege of having a broadcast
ing station so near at hand in
Montana
The Baird family spent winter
in Wolf Point and are now on
their farm near Ossette. The
party that travelled to Vida took
picnic lunch with them and made
it a regular holiday outing. Mrs.
C. J. Severson, manager of the
Liberty theatre, accompanied
them to Vida and played Mrs.
Baird's accompaniments

ABUNDANT RAIN
SOAKS NE. MONT.

A heavy rain that was general
over a large part of this corner OF
Montana fell last Sunday night
and Monday morning. 1t was a
soaker and carried the moisture
clear through the cultivated fields
and the sod to the moisture con-
served from last fall and winter.
Numerous other showers have
fallen during the week, but more
of a local nature. Very few COM
munities have been heard of that
have not had abundant rain for
present needs.
The crop situation has been en-
tirely changed and another good
yield of wheat is confidently ex
pected. The cool weather which
has prevailed nearly the whole
season saved most fields that had
been we'll farmed from suffering
the damgae that would have re-
suited if there had been warm,
windy weather. The weather is
still cool and unsettled with a
prospect of more rain.
Impelled by the long dry spell
a large encampment of Indians
gathered about two miles east of
town Sunday, it is said for the
purpose of praying for rain. The
gathering continued until We'd
nesday. There has been rain every
day this week

GRAIN DEALERS

ANNUAL MEETING AT HAVRE
WELL ATTENDED,, $50 DELE
GATES PRESENT

HAVRE, June 19- With the
subject of protein content of grain
still uppermost in the interest of
delegates to the End annual con-
vention of the Grain Dealers AS
sociation of Montana, the second
day was opened with a discussion
of surveys now being made by
elevator men as to the land on
which high protein content wheat
is grown by w. j. Kurlib of the
United States department of agri-
culture.
F. w. Bliss of the Bliss labor
atories in Minneapolis spoke on
methods and tests of seed to deter
mine protein content. In accord
ance with the general discussion
of the problem, resolution was
passed by the convention favoring
the issuance of a price card more
in respect to the option than to
the protein value of grain so that
when grain is bought on protein
content the price will be SO much
above the card rather than having
a combination of option and pro-
tein value included in the card.
L. A. Foot. attorney general of

EDWIN MEREDITH,
PUBLISHER, DIES
FORMER SECRETARY OF AGR.
TAKEN BY HEART TROUBLE
AT DES MONIES

DIES MONIES, Ia. June IS
Edwin T. Meredith, local publish
er and secretary of agriculture in
President Wilson's cabinet, died
at his home here Sunday night.
Heart failure caused by high
blood pressure was ascribed as
the cause of Mr.. Meredith's death.
The former cabinet member,
who published three farm maya
zines here, has been ill for about
four months. His condition be-
came serious a month ago, after
Mr.. Meredith had been returned
to his home from Johns Hopkins
hospital at Baltimore where he
has been under observation.
An inherited love of the soil and
general interest III the welfare of
farmers lifted Mr. Meredith from
youthful obscurity to national
prominence and place in Presi-
lent Wilson's cabinet
He started in boyhood as a real
dirt" farmer, the occupation of
his father and his grandfather. A.
high school education and one
year at college weaned him away
from actual work on the farm, but
tended to increase his interest in
the lot of those who till the soil.
Beginning of Success
Mr. Meredith's grandfather, in
ests, was the publisher of farm
weekly, The Farmers Tribune. 1t
