The Emden was followed by three more 60o0-ton

they carry more guns-l2 as against nine. But the guns
are so distributed that the American broadside is one gun

But Of more definite and practical importance is the i'm,

classes of ships will at last bring relief to the taxpayer who
has to foot the bills. For after the navy has built up to the

More About the Grain Marketing Program

QUESTION:: What r. the latest developments in the program for
marketing the 1880 grain crop?
ANSWER: Details ar fairly well settled with regard to methods
OF procedure and finance. The Farmers National Grain
Corporation is now firmly and soundy established. The
regional marketing associations have purchased shares
of stock, and ae ready for business. The Farmers Ma
tional Grain Corporation has been allotted funds by the
Federal Farm Board, and the Farmers National Grain
Corporation will in urn distribute these funds to the
regional organizations, which in turn will deal with To-
cal Farmers Elevators, Shipping associations and indi
vidual farmers.
QUESTION: What do you mean by a regional organization?
ANSWER: The Farmers Union Terminal Association is a type of
a regional organization. Our job is to deal with all
Farmers Elevators in or region which prefer to do
business with the Farmers Union Terminal Association
rather than some other regional association, and also to
deal with individual members of the Farmers Union.
QUESTION: What is the region covered by the Farmers Union
Terminal Association?
ANSWER: Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
QUESTION: Do you intend to solicit the business of all Farmers
Elevators in the above states?
ANSWER: No. We shall work only with Farmers Elevators where
the Farmers Union is organized, and where the mem
bers of the Union surrounding a elevator naturally
prefer to have their grain come to market through their
own Union organization.
QUESTION: Does that leave work for other regional organizations
ANSWER: Yes. plenty of work for all of us. Our organization is
the major one in Montana and North Dakota, with some
organized territory in Minnesota We shall solicit no
elevators outside of Union territory, but will be glad
to serve any qualified elevator in the states named,
whose stockholders and board of directors desire to do
business with the Farmers Union Terminal Association
QUESTION: What must a local elevator association do to qualify for
service through the Farmers Union Terminal Association
ANSWER: The local elevator " shipping association must purch
81 one ten dollar share of common stock of the Farm
es Union Terminal Association.
QUESTION: Is one share of stock all that the local association must
purchase?
ANSWER: Yes. The elevator association may purchase preferred
stock to any amount if it desires to do so. The associ
alton will be required to purchase only one share OF
common stock to qualify a s a member of the Farmers
Union Terminal Association.
QUESTION: What else must the elevator do?
ANSWER: 1t must submit a copy of its articles Of association and
bylaws to our Legal Department in order that we may
determine whether Or not the elevator may qualify un
dor h CapDerVOlStead Act ONLY qualified elevator aS-I
sociations will be accepted.
QUESTION: Does a Farmers Elevator have to be organized under

WILLIAM HAIkESC COMEDY

William Haines, as a hard-boil
ed COB, washing out clothes on
the deck of a dreadnaught, max
ing faces behind the backs of
"non-coms," or coming out of a
free-for-all unscathed, between the
legs of bruised and beaten col

mirers who have long been &C
customed to seeing him do just
chat sort of thing.
In Navy Blues" his first all
talking picture, which will be
shown Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday at the Liberty theatre, he
will probably surprise a good
many people, for in this picture
he not only gives his usual light
hearted, fun-loving representations
but he also goes dramatic"
something which he has wanted
to do for some time. Haines is
given an opportunity in Navy
Blues" to do acting which will
be found to be on a par with any
done by rec stars of recogniz-
ed ability to put over an emo
tional scene. Haines is permitted
to combine a hitherto %little-sus-
pected histrionic talent with his
wel1-known abilities as a come
dian.
So often the tradegy lies in the
fact that the star has so long
been habituated to the one type
of role that when the time comes
when he is compelled to exhibit
chameleon-like change of colors

Fortunately, a temperament of
broad human interest saves Will

OBITUARY
WILLIAM PRESTON PUTNAM

WILLIAM PRESTON PUTNAM
Friends and acquaintance OF
William P. Putnam were shocked
last Saturday to learn of his sud
den death some time during Fri
day night or Saturday morning.
He had been about the day be.
fore and had gone down town.
When he failed to come to break
fast Saturday his daughter, Mrs.
Chapman, went to his cottage on
the same lot as the Chapman
home, and found that he had pas
sed TRANQUILITY away during the
night. He was in his 18th year
Funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon at the Presbyterian
church conducted by the Rev.
VIM, G. johnson. The body was
laid to rest in Greenwood ceme-
terry beside that of his wife who
passed away more than a year
ago.
William Preston Putnam was
the eldest son of Newton and
Nancy Putnam and was born in
Missouri in 1853. At the age of
nineteen with his parents, five
brothers and a sister, he crossed
the plains to the New West, max
ing the trip in a covered wagon.
At the end of the long trail the
family made their home at Sa-
lem, Oregon. Four years later he
returned to his native state, and
there in April, 1878, he and Lou
lisa NJ. Garoutte were married. He
brought his bride to his western
home and theirs was a life of
pioneering.
After eighteen years in Oregon
they came to Montana, seeking
a climate that would benefit
Mrs. Putnam's health. They lived
at Kalispell and Missoula for a
time, and then settled in Chinook
where they lived for six years,
coming to Riverside, McCone
county, in 1902 where they lived
on the famous IA ranch. A few
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Putnam
moved to Wolf Point to be near
their daughter, Mrs. w. V. D.
After fifty years of
eompanionship, death separated
Mr.. and Mrs. Putnam for a little
but now they have once
taken up the thread, unfet-
cred by the infirmities Of age.
Mr.. Putnam is survived by three
children, Mrs. w. V. D. Chapman !

ing taken yer the practice of

1t is regrettable that Medicine

ing his education with a college
cours and receiving his B. S.
degree he entered medical college
and received his degree with high

inferno work he served one year
as military surgeon.
After going to war DR.. Cloud
practiced at Canton, Ohio, later
going to Chicago where he done
considerable work and gained
much valuable experience in one
of the larger hospitals. DR.. Cloud
is a member of the American
Medical association and is Ii
censed to practice in six different
states. Until January list of this
he has filled the office of
county health officer since coming
to Medicine Lake in 1925.
DR.. Cloud has always taken AN
active part in everything for the
progress of the town and commun-
ity and at the present time is q
member of the Town Council.
Both DR.. and Mrs. Cloud will be
greatly missed by their Medicine
Lake friends, but what is ones
.oss is anothers gain and Wolf
Point is to be congratulated upon
a doctor of such profess
Iional ability and a family who
will add much to the business and
social circles. Their many friends
wish them the greatest happiness
nd prosperity in their new home.
