NOVEL GOLF FEATURE
PROPOSED FOR SUNDAY

DR.. Burgess and other members
Of the golf club suggest a man
and wife golf match on the local
course next Sunday, beginning at
one o'clock.
All ambitious devotees of the
great Scotch-American game, and
wives (their own are urged to
appear and get into the fun. On
account of hard times and the
cost of balls, only one ball will
be allowed to each pair of players.
One socks it and then the other.
The family teams, as per house
hold habit, will budget their
strokes and each try to Guido the
other in true Scotch economy.
Each will have full license to crit
icize the other but there must be
no nagging while hubby is max
ing his swing. But the ban will
be off backtee driving for the day.
The rough stuff cannot always be
avoided but no player should feel
putt out just because they get in
a hole.
The holders of the low man-wife
score at the finish of play will
probably receive a beautiful prize
in the form of an embossed re-
production Of their score card.
Joking aside, let's have a big
out.
This match may be followed by
of other kinds.

WHEAT HARVEST AT BUSY STAGE
YIELDS FULLY UP TO ESTIMATES
WHEAT TANKS KEEP ROADS
HOT; RECEIPTS MORE THAN
DOUBLE 1929

After making the round of the
elevators and talking with wheat
buyers, farmers, haulers and 9TH
ers Thursday it was found that
last weeks estimate of the 1880
wheat crop was fully justified. A
crop of at least a million bushels
is being harvested in the area
that markets from Wolf Point. On
a majority of farms pre-harvest
estimates of yields are holding up
or over-running. There are farms
and localities where yield will av-
erage poor for special reasons,
hail or lack if rain. But in mos-
localities poor fields reach ten
bushels or more while the good
ones go on up to rs, with some
that exceed 25 and get up to So.
1t is thought the average will
stick close to the 10 mark.
Grades Up Well
The quality is good considering
the heat and drought. BY far the
greater part of the receipts so
far have stood the test for No. l..
Local buyers are paying a flat pro-
tein premium on practically ev-
erything.
Indications are that much wheat
will be binned on the farms and
a ride through one of the biggest
wheat producing sections shows
many bins in the fields. Wheat
haulers + hoping for continued
dry weather. Some were compelled
to dump in open piles. Snapshots
taken on the Al Huber farm,
northeast of Vida, show a pile
said to be 20 feet long, Is feet
wide and nearly as high as a grain
tank.
Great Northern Agent Swed-
berg says he anticipates no lack
Of cars. From II to IS cars a day
are being supplied to the six ele-
vators. Shipments and grain in
the elevators now total approx
mately $500 bushels. The flax
harvest has just begun and a few
loads have been received. Wheat
growers are very hopeful that the
feed shortage over the country
will boost wheat prices, later in
the season. Thursday Number 1
was bringing IS cents.

PRESIDENT HOOVER ABAND0NS
GLACIER PARK VACATION TRIP
DROUGHT RELIEF PROGRAM
WILL HOLD HIM NEAR
WASHINGTON

Washington, Aug. 12.-President
Hoover today called off his vaca-
ton trip Ito the western national
parks with the explanation that
the drought situation would COM
pei him to remain close to Wash
ington, where relief plans are
centered.
The announcement came as no
surprise in circles close to the
White House in view of the pres
ident's determination to furnish all
possible assistance to the stricken
farmers and their families through
federal, state and private agencies.
The semiweekly cabinet meet
ing discussed the situation today
and shortly thereafter MI. Hoov-
er told newspaper men he had
abandoned his western trip in
view of the drought and the
thought that he could be of SER
vice here.
SO Percent Freight Cut
The only concrete development
in proposed relief projects was an
announcement by Alfred P. Thorn,
general counsel of the Association
of Railway Executives, that the
emergency freight rate reduction
on hay, feed, water and livestock
would be made first in eastern
territory and would be a cut of
so percent wherever it was ef-
fected. The announcement was
made after a call at the White
House.
The so percent rate cut would
go into effect Immediately, it was
said, on roads operating to and
from regions north of the Ohio
and east of the Mississippi rivers.
The special rates were expected
to he extended in a day or two
to other sections of the drouth
area.
Under a plan worked out be-
tween the roads and the agricul
tural department., a county agent
of the department will pass on
all applications of farmers for
rates and certify them to
the station agents of the railroad.

FIRE DESTROYS FOUR
LARGE HEADER STACKS


Harold Bawden last week had
the misfortune to lose four large
header stacks by fire. Charles
Bawden, II year old son of Har-
old Bawden, and a neighbor had
been striking matches on the iron
part Of a neckyoke. One of the
blazing heads flew W into the
stack. There was sufficient wind
to fan the blaze and the stacks
quickly aflame. There was
just time to get the team and
wagon away from the fire. The
four stacks of wheat heads rep
resented about half of Mr.. Baw-
den's crop.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
OF THE DROUGHT

tFrom New York Herald-Tribune)
Increments of meteorological in
formation are but poor compensa-
ton, owners of withered crops
will insist, for this summers ex-
ceptional drought, yet that infor-
nation is about the only feature
of the present weather which can
be set down on the profit side of
the ledger. The last comparable
condition seems to have been in
1874, when but few weather OBJ
servatories were maintained and
anything like the present world
maps of weather was still a
dream. This summe for the first
time weather scientists have be-
fore them in drought time ever

pressure over most of the United
States. This has kept out the
moisture-1aden winds from the
oceans on both coasts for winds
tend to blow outward from high
pressure areas, never inward to-
ward them.
The true problem, however, is
the cause of this persistent high
pressure. 1t is too soon to read
this with assurance. The European
weather maps, for example, come
by mail and are ten days to two
weeks late in American laborator-
les. Yet one fact can be ~d.scerned
from the maps for this country.
What is called the storm track
has shifted northward. Most of
the rain in North America is pro-
vided by the cyclonic storms
