R0ckne Says Good
Team Encouraging
to Diligent Study

South Bend, Ind, Nov. 2O.-Does
a football team affect the studies Of
the school as whole?
Mr.. knute Rockne thinks so. And.
like everything else this noted foot.
ball coach thinks and says, it is
worth paying attention to.
"A winning team helps the schol-
astic standing of the whole school,"
he observed here recently. "When
the team is winning. the student
body moves along in its studies with
zip and pep. but when the team Is
losing the students slump in their
scholastic work."

SOMETHING new AT
LIBERTY THEATER

Amateurs night was the feature
at the Liberty Wednesday. 1t
made quite hit and was good,
especially considering it was the
first attempt, recently at least.
There were three contestants
among the children and three old
er persons. Awards were made
by the applause of the audience.
"Chief' Robins got the silver
cup, for rope skipping. The Chief
is right at home with his familiar
training device.
Lorraine Montgomery received
second for her speciality dance.
Neil brothers, third, for A.
round boxing bout.
Bernard Markham got big
hand for his excellent clarinet
solo. A young man whose name
was not learned sang a solo.
Velma Fishback did the Charles
ton in good form.
Neil brothers are about and 6
years of age, game and clever
with the big mitts. Lorraine was
a surprise and delight to the au-
dience She has grace and origin
ality, and wonderful assurance for
a tiny Miss of her age.
There appearing to be a misun-
derstanding or mix up in the
grouping of the competitors. The
audience had no chance to pick
the winners as ranked above, Or
possibly the result would have
been different

GORGE BREAKS;
WRECKS FERRY
ICE FORCES UP EARTH IN
IMMENSE EMBANKM MENT
JARS BUILDINGS

Ice in the Missouri river, which
has seemed on the verge of going
out for several days, went out with
a rush and roar Sunday night,
after an ice forge near Oswego
broke loose.
Unusually thick ice and high
stage of water resulted in tre-
mendous force that was manifest
ed in spectacular ways. Two
large power ferry boats, in usual
winter positions on the north
landing, were forced to the bank
and one badly crushed The boats
were as well protected as possible
and the injury resulted from a
chance blow when a great ice cake
was forced sidewise by a temper
airy jam.
Up the river from the ferry
landing. around a bend and about
/ 900 feet from Indian mission
buildings, the ice fields, one
crowding behind the other, wlth
the power of the current behind
them. hit a cut bank six feet hlgh
and piled the frozen earth back
on itself until an embankment was
formed 120 feet long, 20 to 80 feet
wide and to 10 feet high.
The impact shook the mission
building like an earthquake
/ Teachers at the mission were
awakened by the jar. The river
was partly clear by noon Monday
and the water has lowered by four
feet or more.
Crossings have been made for
several days in row boats or
launches and it is expected the
ferry. White City will be ready by
Monday the End. It's engine has
come back from the cities where
the cylinders were rebored.
It had been the intention to pu'
the smaller boat, Fawn, into ser
vice and it was already with
new engine when the ice gave i
. the nasty punch below the belt.

PLANS
FINISHED SOON
ACCURATE SPECIFICA iONo
UNDER SEVERAL TYPES
BEING PREPARED

After his return from another
trip to Helena, w. l.. Young, pres
ident of the Commercial club, says
that the Wolf Point bridge project
is sitting in the best possible
place on the 1928 program. All
essentials of the project are now
thoroughly understood between the
state and federal bodies having
control. Actual working plans and
specifications must be completed
before the war department and
public roads bureau can pass Oh
them. A rough or tentative plan
was found to be not permissible:
Complete plans of three differing
types of bridge are being made by
the draughtsmen, with a view TO
determining the best and cheap
est. This is a big job and takes
time.
People Appreciate
Mr.. Young found the State com
missioners buried in work. IL Is
their busiest period at the open
ing of the working season. BY lts
STRAIGHTFORWARD, fair and business
like methods the commission Is
winning the good opinion OF peo
ple of the state. 1t is conceded on
all hands that Montana is fortun
ate to have a body OF sincere
competent men who are putting
through the big highway program
in a style that will speed things
I'M and at the same time give the
greatest value possible for the
money expended. This can DC
truthfully said leaving the VOL
Point bridge out of consideration
because it applies to all then
work. Every project must stano
or fall on it's merits The same
spirit of appreciation is found IL
places that have no bridge tc
build. Montana is on the upgrade
in the eyes of the country and hel
road program is one of the things
that has put her there.

FEDERATED CLUB
AFFAIRS IN CALF.
LOCAL CLUB WOMAN TELLS
OF LUNCHEON FOR THE
STATE PRESIDENT
Dear Mrs. Livingston:

Dear Mrs. Livingstone
| was lucky enough to get an in
vitation to a luncheon given in
San Jose last Friday in honor OF
the California state president OF
federated clubs, Mrs. w. w. Green,
and I thought that you and the
other club members would be in
terested in report. The lunch
con was given by the Santa Clara
county organization and there
were more than a hundred club
women present The drive from
Palo Alto to San Jose was particu-
larly beautiful as the road lay
between fruit orchards much of
the way and many of the archards
are in blossom now. Prunes are
later than plums and apricots and
are not yet in blossom.
The luncheon was held in the
Vendome hotel, the Oldest hotel in
San Jose, which with the grounds
occupies about a block of space.
The hotel is set back from the
street and is approached by wind
ing driveways between rows OF
palms. There are foot paths
around under the trees and there
is an air of statliness about the
whole place that impresses one.
AS one goes up the steps Of the
hotel there are platforms on
either side built out about three
or four feet above the ground
reminiscent of the days when peo-
pie rode in horse drawn carriages.
The woman whose guest l was had
spent her girlhood in San Jose
and said that they used to go
there for dances. She took me
around and pointed out favorite
hooks where couples use to sit
out the dances. The hotel was
built either in the SOS or the COS
so you may know it is an old one.
At the luncheon the women were
seated at round tables for six.
The state president, district presi-
dent, county presidents, and some
other officers sat at a long table
at one side of the room. Large
baskets of daffodils and some
sort of greenery were placed
around at various intervals. The
flowers on the tables were sprays
of Towering peach and ylum bios
SONS with some narcussus and
ferns.
One thing that impressed me
was the number of white haired
women there. There were so many
of them apparently over sixty. At
our table there were two old la
dies. one of whom had come to the
state in 1884 from Illinois, and the
other had lived in California since

CROP OUTLOOK
FOR 1928 GOOD
EXTENSION SERVICE MAKES
ANALYSIS OF STATEWIDE
PROSPECTS

Montana goes into the 1928 crop
season with conditions generally
favorable from production
standpoint and with better than
fair price prospects for many OF
its products, according to the
1929 "Outlook" just issued by the
Montana Extension Service under
the direction of NJ l.. Wilson, ag-
ricultural economist.
A summary of present condl-
tions which have a bearing upon
production during the coming
season is as follows; Generally
abundant reserves of moisture in
the ground in most places; on IN
creased amount of summer fallow-
ed land; normal supplies of feed
on hand. two per cent decrease
in number of horses; about $500
medium sized tractors, 5000 duck
foot cultivators and 1900 com
hines on farms and prospects OF
considerable increase in the next
few months to the point OF pos
sible over-expansion; larger sup
plies than usual of certified and
approved seed; about three pei
cent decrease in the number Of
cattle: a 3 per cent increase II
the number of sheep, and 10 pc
can+ incraase in the number o
hogs.
The Outlook reviews prospect
for the different major crops o
the state from a supply and de
mand standpoint and discusses
probable prices at marketing time
Following are a few of the impor
tant points brought out:
In the face of a probable in
crease in national and world
wheat production, as indicated by
increased acreage, wheat growers
of Montana are advised to holt
production costs down to the low
est possible point and to take th'
fullest advantage of the possibil
tiles for growing high quallt,
premium wheat. Farmers VIII
we're unable to realize profl
! from wheat production in 1927
hardly can expect to do better il
1928 and such growers are advis
ed to shift to other crops.
The outlook for flax again is en-
tirely favorable Montana farm
ers last year increased their fla
acreage As per cent over the yea
before, but national production
still was far below domestic re
quirements. 1t does not seen
possible that production will b
increased above domestic need
this year and this means that tn
40c tariff again will be operative
to raise the domestic price leve
above the world market. The sit
uation again makes flax goot
substitute for wheat in areas

NOT in DANGER
MAMMOTH ICE GORGE AT
WILLISTON FLOODS
LOW LANDS

(From The Williams County
Farmers Press, Williston, March
2S)
Th latest report this afternoon
is that engineers are on their way
to Williston for the purpose Of
blowing up the ice jam.
The ice jam in the Missouri
river at Williston continues to
hold. and is approximately Is
miles long, extending from the
bend above the city to beyond the
village of Trenton. The ice is
closely wedged under the Lewis
and Clark bridge, and is within
four or five feet of the bridge
floor-but the widespread report
that the bridge is in danger is en-
triely without foundation.
The bridge is not in danger, and
there is no danger of the river
cutting a new channel south Of the
bridge through the slough on the
/ Mckenzie county side, where
Highway No. So is now entirely
submerged for about three miles.
A week ago today Ray Robin
I son, state road maintenance man
/ for the Minot district, and R. A.
4 Pease. division engineer, came to
1 Williston and decided to remain
to watch the spring breakup. Mr..
Pease left Sunday, but Mr.. Robin
son is still here and he has kept
/ the state highway department in
formed daily regarding develop
ments.
Robinson reported to the Press
that the ice jam had grown to
such proportions Thursday, March
! %. that the water began running
over the road in the Mckenzie
county bottoms, and by Friday
morning there was half mile of
highway under water; Saturday it
was all submerged.
Monday afternoon the river was
reported to be dropping to some
extent, but Tuesday night the
state maintenance engineer, Rob
inson, found the river to be rising
at Trenton. Yesterday Ray Robin
son accompanied by Mr.. Moeller,
road patrolman, drove to Snowden,
Mont, where they crossed the
river and drove to the Mckenzie
side of the Lewis and Clark bridge
"a distance of over a hundred
miles.
They found quite strong cur
rent cutting across the road fill
over the slough next to the bluffs,
and both the guard rails and tele-
phone poles had been washed
away. Mr.. Frahm, state engineer,
is expected from Bismarck today.
1t is understood that negotiations
have been going on with state and
federal military departments as to
getting a bombing plane to help
start the ice jam moving Dyna-
