STOCK LIST FIRM
At SHORT SESSION
Oils Subjected to Selling
Pressure on Unfav0r.
able News.
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. August 2s.-Today's
week end stock market had its soft
spots, but again the selling in particu-
lar issues and particular groups had
little or no effect on the general list.
Standard industrials were In good de-
mand and not q little short covering
went on in the evening-up process,
which is normal In q Saturday session.
The feature on the side of decline
was the weakness In the oils. These
stocks were under the influence Of q
batch of unfavorable items including
poor earnings statements by Atlantic
Refining and Sinclair OIL, the sugRes-
ton that dividend rates might be re-
vised downward in other independents,
and slight reduction In gasoline prices
In Chicago.
Atlantic Refining reported Sl.0S q
share for the first half Of 1890, against
1857 a share In the first half Of 1929
and So cents share in the June quar-
ter, against $1.73 q share In the Sec
ond quarter . year ago. Sinclair
earned only 40 cents a share ON the
common during the six months ended
June 80, which compares with $I.02 q
share In the FIRST six months Of 1899.
These results are not as unfavorable
as the yappear on the surface. Proof
of this statement may be found In the
income account Of Atlantic Refining
as well as In its balance sheet. That
company made large charge-offs for
depreciation, retirements and amortiza-
ton, while In its balance sheet cash
and cash items alone were much above
all current liabilities.

Business Notes

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 23.--Retail opin-
lon in New York is somewhat divided
over the probable showing Of sales fig-
ures for August There is a general
agreement that the average total will
be under last year, but the estimates
of the amount of the decline range from
8 to 9 per cent. It was said that the eff
fects of drought and unemployment VIII
serve to pull down the average, with no
marked change from the July figures
probable in the Chicago and Detroit
districts.
Reports regarding the volume OF
womens cloth-coat business done by re-
tailers indicate that cool weather dur
ing the week served materially to In
crease the turnover. The arrival OF new
business and recorders on medium and
popular price merchandise served to inn
part O more cheerful atmosphere to the
wholesale market.

DON SEEKS NEW
RECORD TODAY

DAYTONA BEACH, March 10
NN.S) Deeply disappointed at
delays, Kaye Don, English auto.
mobile racer, declared this morn
ing he would again today attempt
to establish a new worlds speed
record.
Louis CoateIen, designer of
Don's monster speed car, the "Sil.
yer Bullet" said this morning
trouble was developed by the ma
chine in trials yesterday and the
gas line was slightly broken but
the car will be in shape for a
record run this afternoon, he said.
Before the car started to sput-
ter yesterday, Don made two
runs. His average time was 1853
and a fraction miles per hour,
which was not very close to the
record made last year by H. o.
D. Segrave, an English racer who
whizzed 231 .36 miles.
If Don fails to make a record
this afternoon he probably will
postponed attempts until late in
the week, owing to high tides.
The beach, except for one short
Srretch, was fairly smooth today.

DIED ON SATURDAY
FROM FLU EFFECTS

1t is with regret that we record the
passing Of Mrs. Laura @. M~onson,
wife of C. M. Monson, whose home is
one mile west of Plentywood. Mrs.
Monson died Saturday morning, May
II at the Sheridan Memorial Hospi-
tai where she had been a patient for
several weeks suffering with sepsis
following intestinal influenza which
was said to be the cause of her death.
The funeral services were conduc-
ted Monday afternoon at the Luther
an church, with Rev. A. M. Egge con-
Quoting the services, and the remains
were shipped to her former home at
Bottineau, North Dakota and where
interment was made yesterday in
Managers Lutheran cemtery. The fu-
neral was attended by a large num-
Der of friends and relatives.
Mrs. Monsoon was born in Min
nesota OF May 81, 1888, and came to
Bottineau, North Dakota together
with her parents and brothers and
sisters when she was a young girl,
and where she spent her early life.
She was married to C. M. Monson in
1910, and came to Sheridan county
shortly after, where they have lived
ever since. To this union two boys
were born, being Alden, 10 and Lloyd
Is years Of age. Besides her husband
and two sons she is survived by her
mother Mrs. 1nga Hendrickson of
Plentywood, four brothers; Ole Hen
erickson Of Bottineua, North Dakota,

ter, Mrs. Betty Hunsker, Landa,
North Dakota, Mrs. Ida Burdahl who
lives in the state of Washington, Mrs.
Rose Norberg, of Bottineau, North

firing disposition ~preferring a quiet
home life. She was well liked by her
neighbors and friends and her pass
ing is keenly regretted by all who
learned to know her. The Herald ex-
tends sympathy to husband and IONS
and her other relatives.

School LeUies
Are Voted In

Last Friday the taxpayers of Plen-
t Wood decided in favor Of both tax
levies for the maintaining of our pub
lie schools. The 20 mill levy for or
maintenance with e2 voting for
the levy and 81 voting against it. The
Is mill levy for the creation of a
sinking fund for the purpose of build
ing a new school house in 1882 car
ried with q vote of &c with SO against
it.
Considerable interest was exhibited
by parties who wanted the levies to
carry as we'll as those opposed. Sew
eral cars were busy most Of the after
hauling voters too and from the
polls and when the votes were count
ed many spectators were present at
the polling place. 1t was the con-
census of opinion that the 20 mill
levy would carry without any diff
Guilty but many were inclined to the
belief the Is mill levy would fail,
and the result was a surprise to many
here.

WEED GROWTH MAY
be A CROP MENACE
i'm STATE this YEAR
Grades Probably Same But
Less Protein and Heavy
Yields Is Outlook Now

St. Paul-Heavy growth Of weeds
in many sections of Minnesota, North
Dakota and Montana threat to reduce
the yields and damage the quality OF
grains, the Farmers Union Terminal
Association says in it's fifth weekly
survey of crop conditions OF the
Northwest spring wheat area.
"The dry summer Of 1929 did not
permit the weeds to sprout in that
wear, with the result that the seeds
remained dormant" the Review says,
"but are thriving with grains due to
moisture o the past few weeks.
Except for the rapid growth OF
weeds, conditions are ideal for wheat
and other early seeded small grains.
Seeding of corn has been delayed in
all sections Of the territory because
of the heavy rains, but the soil is
in excellent condition and when
weather permit seeding, will be help
full for the growth.
1.-THE situation of weeds, however,
is so serious that there have been
some reports of reseeding in a part OF
Fergus County, Montana. Cores
pondents at Glendive and Billings,
Montana, comment on the unusual
heavy growth of weeds. Reports OF
weed growth also are being received
from several sections of North Dako-
ia, particularly in tn vicinity of Shey-
enne.
mot only does the weed growth re-
duce grain yields, but much foul mat
ter is thrashed with the grain, which
reduces the quality and grading and
increases the dookage. The drouth of
1929 resulted in production Of a short
crop, but Of an unusually high quail
ity. While too carly to make any def
finite forecast, it would appear that
the 1890 crop prospects are for large
yields per acre and lower quality.

COLLECTORS FOR
FINANCE CONCERN
use FAST METHODS

Two would-be high powered collec-
tors for a finance concern came to
Plentywood last week with the idea
they could tell the natives here just
where to get off at. Several parties
had been unable to meet the pay
ments on their cars in accordance
with the contracts and so these up
starts proceeded to go into one gar
age here and seized a car but forgot
to settle for the storage, and later
refused it until one of the %proprietors
laid out the collector with two or three
swiftly administered sleep producers.
Later on these same birds made set
Element with another garage concern
for all amounts due on cars by ac-
cepting checks, and then while the
garage owner was out Of town to raise
some money these men went to his
garage and seized the same cars for
which settlement had been made, and
they later refused to surrender the
cars or to cash the checks when the
money was rendered them by the bank
here, but hooked up all the cars they
had seized and proceeded late Satur-
day night to haul the cars overland to
Glasgow. Attorneys were obtained
and two of the aggrieved parties went
with Attorney L j. Onstad Tuesday
and we understand these parties found
out they were not able to tell the ma
tives here a thing, but that they learn
a great deal themselves.

PRELIMINARY CENSUS
RETURNS SHOW 1852
IN SHERIDAN COUNTY
Count Is Not Authentic and
May Very Slightly in Fin
sal Report

The population of Sheridan County
as shown by the preliminary count Of
the Fifteenth Census, taken as Of
April l, 1880 is 1852, as compared
with 10, BAT, which included most of
Daniels county, in 1920. The 1880
figures are subject to correction.
There were 1458 farms enumerated in
Sheridan County this Census.
Next week we will give the popula-
ton by school districts separately,
but time does not permit US to do so
this week. Westby town shows an
increase from 253 in 1920 to 284 now.
Medicine Lake also shows a good in
crease from 292 to 1884. Plentywood's
populatin has gained one more since
the first preliminary count now being
1928 as against 1888 in 1920. Out
look gained five in population in ten
years with a count this year of 300;
Antelope dropped from 285 to 142.
All other towns are not shown separ-
ately but are included in the school
district count. Comertown District
43 shows 23O population and 23l in
1920; Dooley District 223 now and
244 ten years ago; Raymond district
1853 as compared with 586 in 1920;
Redstone 337 now and 1926 in 1920;
Reserve has 234 heads now and 316
at the previous Census; Dagmar 156
and formerly 152 and Homestead 213
this year, 331 in 1920.
We believe that the total population
of the County will be about the same
as in 1920 as there are at least 1000
people residing in that part Of the
County which was later taken into
Daniels County. Scobey, Flaxville and
Madoc accounted for nearly 1900 of
these that year.
