hidden by cigar store on one side

up or down with creaking suddenness

She had been there when Hilda came,
big, quiet-eyed Hilda. who bossed the

drummers tactfully and welcomed
strangers so that they felt the air of

Miss Tinsey was there first in the

the door. Hilda could talk to her be-

loud laughter. She kept books in an

COUNCIL BACK
FROM MOTOR TRIP

Charles Council, UNDERESTIMATE,
returned Sunday from a 3O-day
motor trip vacation. He states
that it was the most enjoyable
trip he has ever taken He was
accompanied by his wife and
daughter, Miss Mary, and grand
son, Gene McCracken.
The Council party left Wolf
Point on July 1st. Their first stop
was in the Black Hills and the
famous old-time mining city of
Deadwood. From there they went
to Rapid City and then across in
to Iowa, where they visited at
Dubuque and took a thirty mile
boat trip. Wisconsin and Mime
sofa were next transversed. At
Beaudette, Mimi, they spent some
time in very enjoyable side trip.
A boat trip upon the Lake of the
Woods, among its 1400 islands
ranging in size from one to 500
acres, put them at American Point,
where they spent night in log
cabin. At this point there is a
sawmill running "a hours of the
lay saving lumber exclusively for
fish boxes, emphasizing the large
ness Of fishing there as an indus
.ry. The scenery in and around
his place Charley describes as
he most beautiful he has ever
seen.
Enroute home they stopped at
Thief River Falls, Mimi, where
hey took in a county fair.
Better than $500 miles were
covered, without car trouble of
my kind, not even a puncture or
blowout

DAIRY STOCK IS
AVAILABLE NOW

Dairy stock of all ages is avail
able if taken at once, says E. B.
Duncan of the Great Northern
railway. Mr. Duncan has been in
the coast states recently locating
dairy stock and finds a large num-
Der available at low prices. There
has been quite a demand for cal
yes up to two years old but this
kind of stock cannot be found at
this time of year. Short yearlings
are available at very good prices.
T h e Sc are mostly Holsteins,
Guernseys, and Jerseys.
Mr. Duncan will be glad to as
semble a carload for Roosevelt
county if there is sufficient de-
mand for this service 1t will
probably take 80 to 35 head to
make a carload and to reduce
freight per animal to a minimum.
Anyone interested in securing
choice dairy stock in this manner
should get in touch with the
county extension Office at once.

YOUNCKIN HAS
AUTO ACCIDENT

Mr. and Mrs. Ben Youngkin
drove to Dry Fork Sunday to get
Lorraine and Marjorie, who have
been visiting at the Holiday
homes. On the return trip they
were driving between 35 and 40
miles an hour when the steering
rod broke. The car was thrown
into the ditch, but did not upset.
The incident occurred near the
Bartel place, eighteen miles north
of town, where the loose sand has
filled in the ditch on each side of
the grade The car sank in the
sand, which is probably what kept
it upright. Outside of a severe
shaking up and bruised joints, no
one was hurt, but Mr.. Youngkin
declares it a decidedly queer SEN
sation to have the steering ap-
paratus broken off in ones hands
when the car is in rapid motion.

DeWANES IN AUTO
ACCIDENT ON TRIP

On the return trip from Michi-
gan, 35 niles cast of Bismark, n.
D. on the Yellowstone trail, DR..
and Mrs. ]. c. DeWane and two
children experienced an automobile
crash in their newly purchased
Viking car, such as does not hap
pen to many who live to tell it
after
They were driving along the
highway when the rear swung to
one side. Dr. DeWane made
an attempt to right the vehicle,
but found it impossible and the
car overturned couple of
times, finally coming to stop
upside down The doctor manag-
ed to untangle himself, and dis
covered the motor had ignited.
Shutting off the switch to keep
the flames from being famed back
into the car, he assisted Mrs. De
Wane and the two children from
the machine. Mr.. and Mrs De
Wane received bruises and some
scratches, none serious, while the
children were not injured at all. /
Some damage was done to the car
but the doctor was able to drive
it on to Williston where he left
it to be re-conditioned, making the
of the trip on the train.
Upon examination it was found
that one of the tires had blown
% pieces, which was probably the
cause of the accident The doc
or expresses himself as wishing
never again to experience the sen
'ation of such crash

LAUGHS MULTIPLY
In CHINA BOUND

Life is just one laugh after an
other to Karl Dane and George K.
Arthur, co-stars in "China Bound" I"
their new Metro-Goldwyn- -Mayer
feature which will play at the
Liberty theatre, Sunday and Mon
day.
Can you picture Dane and
Arthur, trapped in Chinese cos
tunes within the walls of Chee-fu,
while soldiers are searching for
them within and bandits clamor-
ing for them beyond the citys
gates?
Dane and Arthur got as many
laughs out of the making of this
picture as they have put into it.
Karl Dane is probably the big
gest Chinese you've ever seen and
who is just as good-natured off
the screen as he appears on it.
The Dane-Arthur comedy gets
unusual support in this produc-
tion, for Polly Moran one of
the famous condolences on the
screen, is also in the cast. She
plays the role of Karl Danes
sweetheart. The feminine lead is
taken by Josephine Dunn, who
plays Arthur's sweetheart
China Bound" is the first of
the Dane-Arthur comedies that
doesn't present them as enemies
and rivals in love.

BUDDY Smith SHOT
In GUN ACCIDENT

Buddy Smith met with serious
and painful accident Monday af-
ternoon when he was accidentIy
shot by shot gun. Just how it
occurred is not known as he was
alone at the time. Buddy was
getting in a car standing by the
barn to go on a fishing trip; the
gun had been left by the barn and
as he picked it up to put it in
the car, it went off and the charge
struck him in the groin. His
younger brothers, who were down
on the creek, rushed to his aid
and put him in a truck and rush
ed him to town to a hospital The
wound, though painful, is not be-
lieved will cause a permanent in
jury. Thursday he was resting
easier.

prayer.

FARM BOARD WARNS AGAINST
CR0WDING WHEAT MARKETS

Washington-The federal farm
board Indicated today that it be-
lieved wheat growers would be
wise to refrain from crowding the
markets with their products at
1 this time
The board announced it had
made no statement, nor does it
intend to forecast in any way,
concerning the proper price of
wheat for this market year, and
described the present tendency
toward overcrowding terminals
and transportation facilities as
unfortunate"
The statement to which verbal
amplification of any kind was
refused, was interpreted as advice
to wheat growers to hold back
their product in order that better
distribution may be effected but
without the assumption ON the
part of the board of any respon-
sibility for the eventuality of
wheat prices.
The text of the boards state
ment, given out after the closing
of the grain exchanges, follows:
"The federal farm board is be-
ing besieged by telephone calls,
kilograms and letters regarding
overcrowding terminals and trans
portation facilities for the handl-
ing of wheat This excessive
crowding of wheat onto the mar
ket has created a far wider spread
between cash wheat prices and
prices of wheat sold for future de-
liveries than usually exists.
The federal farm board has
made no statement of forecast
whatsoever concerning proper
price for wheat for this market
year nor does it propose to do so,
but under conditions which exist
this season when all reports agree
on a substantial reduction in
world supply as compared with
last year, it seems unfortunate to
crowd wheat on to the market
faster than existing facilities can
handle it, resulting in cash prices
which are much lower than con-
tract prices for future delivery"
