TWINLETS ARRIVE

"Shorty" Foss of Westby is %rejoic-
ing over the arrival of twinlets at his
farm about June 22nd. We understand
everything if fine at his home, but the
n~eighbors think ~"Shorty" sould loosen
up with the smokes.
We understand when he was hurried
ly reused from a night Of peaceful
rest to get the M. d., being rather
sleepy he got a reverse effect on his
trousers which he failed to notice. He
got the doctor and in making a quick
turn near his home they tipped the
jitney v and both were spilled out.
The doctor picked himself up and
found he was unhurt, and taking a
flashlight from his pocket he turned
it on Shorty" who was just picking
himself out of the weeds, and asked
him if he was hurt, which he denied,
but the NJ. D. after giving him rather
a critical cycling, sad "You may not
feel hurt, but you are badly twisted"
Shorty then discovered what was the
trouble, which was rapidly corrected,
and both headed for the house which
was only a short distance away.
We are sorry this news item is
late, but "better late than never"

CELEBRATION
Continued From Page y


Three legged race, Wilfred Garneau
and Bob Lindberg, 1st, Arthur Marsh
and Arthur Bolster, End.
In the evening there was one solid
hour of dazzling fire works, which
drew at least a thousand visitors who
enjoyed every moment of this pyro-
technic display.
Following this was a dance given in
the Farmer-Labor Temple for which
there was a charge, but outside of
this everything was free during the
day.
The huge crowd was orderly at all
times; there was little or no liquor in
evidence, as only one drunk was lodg-
ed in Jail. The blind pig that dared
open was raided, as it is not safe for
a pigger to operate here any more.
1t was a safe and sane Fourth and
no accidents were reported, which is
so common on July 4th, and We be-
lieve the visitors went home thor
oughly satisfied with the way they
spent the day, and the business peo-
pie Of Plentywood were we'll salts
fed.
Throughout the day the ~Plentywood
band entertained the crowds with
music.

 Short Interest Grows
 The short interest in the stock market has been Increased in the past month by the ease in which prices have fallen. This factor, to- CTS to loan stocks, has caused a premium 10 be placed on borrowing of many stocks for short selling pur- poses. The only alternative for the short seller if he cannot borrow stock, is to cover, or buy back his stock in the open market.
 The present scarcity of stock for borrowing purposes, however, has resulted in the borrower paying the lender a premium for the loan of the stock.
 This scarcity of stock for lending purposes naturally will discourage short selling by making it unprofit- able. On the other hand, it removes from the market potential buying power which would support prices in | periods of weakness. A large short interest usually creates a cushion in periods of stress.
 1 According to one Wall street au- thority a general ban on short sell ing might have disastrous effects. He cited the results of an attempted ban several years ago on the Berlin Bourse, which were extremely un- satisfactory. In view of this experi- ment and the known opposition to- ward stopping legitimate short sell ing, it is believed unlikely that any measures aside from those already taken will be adopted by the ex- change.

WALL STREET ID
 CLEAN UP HOUSE
Market Leaders Plan to Act
 Against Short Selling

New York, Oct. 16. (UP)-Wall street men believed today that a process of housekeeping is well un- der way in the stock market thus avoiding possible government action agaist excessive short selling.
 This view was strengthened by ap- parent tightening up on stocks for loaning purposes-needed by shorts in their operations; and by the revelation that stock exchange off, cials had dined, unannounced, Sum- day night with President Hoover at Washington.
 Hopes to Regulate Itself
 The administration was pictured subsequently, as hopeful that the ex- change would do it's own house. cleaning. And many traders believed that this very process was under way-probably as a result of the heart to heart talk among President Hoover, President Richard Whitney of the New York Stock Exchange and Vice President Allen L. Lindley.
 Most of the recent weakness in the market has been attributed to short selling tactics of an organized bear crowd. which has been reflected in a lessening of confidence in the business situation. This was the topic, many in the street believe, of Whitney's talk with President Hoover.
 The most effective manner in which short selling can be dis couraged is 10 prevent the short seller from borrowing stock to de- liver against his short contract. Sev-
