Dear Sister Sue.

Dear Sister Sue:
Here we are In camp at the target
range. And talk about fun! In this
long North Dakota twilight the BOYS
are sitting around in groups, taking
it easy and making their own enter
tainment. At the head Of our company
street a harmonica band has gathered.
and are now in full swing on Sweet
hearts on Parade" Further to the
north the air is being torn apart by
the braSs-lined Threats Of Company
e. as most OF its members join in the
refrain of Sweet Adeline." Away off
in the distance I al hear some senti-
mental tenor warbling away at "Ra-
mona" AS the sun sets over the hills
across the Missouri. you just feel that
old urge to sing. Even Moe Einstein
tried it. but a bucket Of water and q
blanket over his head soon stopped
him. One of the army drivers (they
call them mule skinners'') came on
the run. He said he thought one Of
his mules had had its throat cut.
Today noon I had my first expert
ence with a mess kit. OF all the trick
eating equipment, that takes the prize.
When I got it open I didn't know
what to do with the pieces. A soldier
showed me how to put the knife, fork
and spoon in my leggin top, then take
the plate with a handle on it in n
hand, balance the lid on the handle,
take the cup by its handle In the
other hand. The darn thing bit me
about four times while I was getting it
set. Got down the line-bcans, maca-
roni and potatoes in the plate (sol-
dier talk-"meat CAM, bread, butter,
jam. cake on the lid-and then I hit
trouble. When the K. P. poured coffee
in my cup that darned thing turned
round and round, kicked, and then
dumped and unloaded like a load of
wheat in a grain elevator. Tried to
grab it, and smack went the beans
and the rest of it. Sergeant said I
hadn't fastened the thingumabob on
the cup handle. How should / know?
I never saw a cup before that you had
to unroll. unwind. dissect, and then
screw together before you could use it.
Moe said l looked like "Ricco-Ricco.
the worlds famous chuggler." Jim
laughed SO hard he spilled his own
assortment of tinware all over. The
worst Of 1t was, ! had to 70 back to
the end Of the line and wait my turn
for refilling. You bet / had the gadg-
cts ali tight that time, because-well,
you know how / am about my chow.
Your loving brother.

AT THE MOVIES
CAPITOL THEATRE

Laura La Plantc will be seen at
the Capitol Theatre beginning Thurs
day in a dramatic talking picture
entitled Scandal" It is based on
The Haunted Lady a gripping So
ciety scandal story by Adela Rogers
st. Johns which appeared in the Cos
mopolitan Magazine. Universal has
made it into a talk film of unusual
intensity. Will, Huntly Gordon. John
Boles and Jane Winton among the
leading principals.
The story tells how a girl of moder-
ate circumstances rises above her po-
sition and marries a wealthy society
favorite. Then comes a hand from
the past to drag her back and she
finally is forced to risk her husbands
respect by barring a Scandalous situa-
ton. or see a third party 60 to prison
unjustly. How she faces this decision
makes one of the strongest scenes
ever screened.
The dialogue sequences are consid-
cred perfect. Miss La Plante has a
wistful voice Of great appeal. John
Boles, former musical comedy favor
tic. is ideal as a speaking and sing
ing screen star. The others register
we'll. Included in the cast are Eddie
Phillips, Nancy Dover and Julia
SWayne Gordon. The picture was
photographed at Santa Barbara,
Calf. with many of that resorts mil
lionalre colony cnacting extra
roles.

few places dry feed and hot weather
resulted in a slight shrink. while cat
tie in the areas where feed improved
showed slight gains. The calf crop
is generally good. Country buying
has been limited this season with
most of the contracts covering calves.
There seems to be little tendency to-
ward restocking except on a moderate
scale. Dry. short feed in a few places
may result in rather close marketing.
Sheep
Sheep In North Dakota have
dropped more in condition relatively
than cattle. due to slow development
OF lambs and slow recovery OF breed
ing ewes. However. they arc still in
fair flesh. A large amount of wool is
being pooled this season, owing to low
prices offered at this time Of the year.
For the range states, generally.
sheep and lambs did well during July
due to good feed on the high ranges.
Better feed in Arizona. New Mexico,
Colorado and Utah helped the lambs.
Generally. lambs have made good
gains after a bad start last spring.
A large number of feeder lambs was
contracted early and there seems to
be a strong tendency to hold eve
lambs in several states. The local
demand for old ewes is rather light
with the possibility of a considerable
movement Of old ewes from the
range.
1929 Lamb and Wool Crop
The lamb crop for North Dakota
in 1929 is estimated to be 454. 900,
compared with ST. 900 in 1928. This
increase is due. not only to an II per
cent increase in the number of breed
ing ewes. but also to a larger number
of lambs saved per 100 ewes COM
pared with 1923. For this year the
number saved per 100 ewes was lO4.6
compared with 05.5 in 1928. The 1923
United States lamb crop shows a de-
crease of l per cent as compared with
1928. The estimated number of lambs
saved in 1929 vas 25.976.OO 0 compared
with 26.225, 900 III the previous year.
A decrease in the number Of lambs
saved per 100 ewes more than offsets
a 6 per cent increase in number OF
breeding ewes. This decrease was
largely in the western lamb states.
The 1929 wool crop in North Dakota
of 4.403,0OO pounds compares with
3.934.0OO pounds produced in 1928
Weight of flecces was slightly less
than in 1925. For the United States
a total of 301 1866. 0o0 pounds were
shorn as compared with 29o, ll3,O OC
pounds in 1923.
Markctings and slaughter Of lambs
during the next ten months arc OK
pcctcd to be no larger than in the
corresponding period of l928-29. but
are likely to be above those of recent

Despite Dry Ranges and

SWEET CLOVER HELPS OUT
Carry-Over Of Last Years For
age Also Will Aid to Off,
set Deficiency Now
SWEET CLOVER HELPS OUT

Livestock in North Dakota still arc
in very good flesh. though drouth
has caused a drying up OF pastures
and ranges throughout the entire
state, according to the August !
range and livestock report Of tho fed
eral agricultural statistician for
North Dakota. However. ranges.
where not overloaded, are still fur
nishing a supply Of dry feed. Pas
lures in tho driest sections are be-
ing supplemented with some feeding
end where crops arc too poor to har-
vest, stock are being turned in. In
only a small part Of the state arc feed
conditions sc acute as likely TO result
in forced marketing of livestock. Tit
wild hay crop will be short. but grain
hay as we'll as a larger acreage OF
sweet clover cut for forage will make
UP much Of this deficiency aided by
a larger than average Carry-ovcr OF
last years crop.
For the II western range states
feed ON the ranges VAS damaged by
dry weather during July. so range
feed is not as good as a year ago. u
livestock are generally in good condl-
ton.
Ranges
Ranges in North Dakota arc much
below the July l condition. due to
drying up. However. there is still
much dry feed available. Pastures.
generally. are burned up. Stock arc
being fed. or have been turned into
grain fields too poor to harvest.
For the western range states. gen.
orally. dry. warm weather which be-
gan in June has cut the supply Of
range feed in Montana. Wyoming. the
western Dakotas. Oklahoma. Texas,
Washington, Oregon. Idaho and Cali
fornia. Rains during July improved
range conditions in New Mexico. Col
orado, Arizona, western Nebraska.
Kansas, Utah and Nevada, but these
states still have q few dry spots.
Range feed is not as good as a year
ago in the west. except that New
Mexico. Arizona, Utah and Nevada
have better range feed due to dry.
short range feed last year. High
ranges are good. but lower and foot
hill ranges arc dry. Fall and winter
range feed prospects are generally
fair to good.
Cattle
Cattle in North Dakota have
dropped very little in condition dur
ing July. Where pasture and range
feed is short, feeding is being done,
or cattle are turned into grain fields.
For the range states. generally. cat
tie are In good condition. but showed
q slight decline during July. In a
