WHEAT GOES UP,
HOPES WITH IT
PRICE BREAKS AWAY FROM
ITS MOORINGS; OTHER
GRAINS FOLLOW

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-The pros.
perity rally in the grain pits sent
wheat prices soaring sensationally
today, and added upwards of S400,.
600 900 to the potential purchasing
power of farmers.
Before a squirt in the last hour
of trading, statisticiaus had esti-
mated that grain holdings of farm
ers had been increased in value
by S375, 0O0, 900 during the day. In
the final hour an additional s10,-
000, 600 was added.
On the strength of the current
boom optimism returned to the
wheat states Of the west and mid
west, where only a few months
ago, despair and bitterness reign
ed.
Quotations whipped upward 3 ga
to 4 Is cents per bushel to the
highest levels of the eason Even
the most optimistic of the traders
could hardly believe the chalk
marks on the board of trade, regis
tering 20 3-8 to q IA cents above
the lows set one month ago.
July wheat skidded up to 70 IA
cents a bushel, the highest figure
since the federal farm boards sta
bilization efforts Of last May.
Outside markets snapped up
ward simultaneously. Winnipeg
closed 1 "a to 2 IA cents higher,
Kansas City 2 3-8 to 2 SIS, and
Minneapolis 2 IL to 2 7-8.
The excitement extended into
the other grain pits. Corn surged
3 3-8 to 4 cents higher, oats 5-S
to / 3-S and rye 2 5-S to 8 3-8.
In The Southwest
A wave of hope today spread
through the wheat belt as relia-
BILE estimates indicated that ris-
ing prices of the last month have
increased by nearly s45, 000, 900 the
potential purchasing power of
farmers of five states in the south
west.
OF this vast sum, perhaps only
a few hundred thousand dollars is
cash.
The remaining millions are the
potential profits of the thousands
of who have held their
for rising prices-and who
apparently are determined to hold
it still longer.

RECORD CROWD WATCHES
HARD, CLOSE GRID GAME

The biggest crowd of football
fans that ever turned out to see
a football game on the local
grounds took advantage of perfect
weather Saturday. Poplar came in
force hoping to see its high school
eleven repeat against the Wolves.
But they were disappointed. The
game at the Stampede arena was
a m~ethodical, stubborn match,
nearly devoid of spectacular plays.
Both teams stuck rather close to
straight football-plowing patient
ly into the line and kicking when
necessary. Only n pass was com
pleted, that by Wolf Point.
The Wolves made ore first
downs and gained more distance
from scrimmage. Several times
they got within striking distance
of the goal line but always the
breaks" went against them for
"offside" or rough play. Never
theless the Wolves Won the game
2 to 0 when a Poplar player re-
covered the ball back of their
own goal line. Poplar has a strong
team but Saturday the Wolves had
more steam and stamina in the
line and behind the line.
BY virtue of their 13 to 0 victory
two weeks before, Poplar has
been declared the northeast champ
ions. If they beat Terry Saturday
they will have a chance to play
for the class B championship of
the state. Wolf Point sincerely
wishes them luck and success.
Culbertson high plays the last
game of the season here Nov. IA.

ACTION TAKEN
COMBATS BEAR
GRAIN RAIDS
BOARD OF TRADE MEN MEET
HOOVER BY REQUEST TO
REPORT PLAN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The
~perfecting of machinery capable
of combating bear raids in the
grain markets was reported to
President Hoover today by dele
gates from the Chicago board of
trade.
President Hoover in July charged
that bear raids of grain specula-
tors wer depressing prices and
causing farmers to lose profits
they otherwise would have gained.
Silas Strawn, president of the
chamber of commerce of the Unit
ed States, who accompanied the
group today, said the president ap-
peared satisfied with the steps be-
ing taken by the business conduct
committee of the Chicago board to
halt the bear raids.
1.-THE president asked us to come
down and talk over this matter
with him." Strawn said. 1--WE have
no quarrel with the president a.
bout it.
"Mr. Hoover did not criticize
short selling. That sometimes is
necessary and has to be. What he
did criticize was bear raiding and
we assured him we had a machine
that would turn over to combat
this when necessary"
Strawn explained the business
conduct committee kept in touch
with government agencies and up
ON information Of Irrational ac-
tivities' either in long or short
selling would take steps to end
them.
Strawn said as a result of the
recent uptrend in wheat prices,
Everybody in the market is OPP
timistic about future grain prices
and is glad to e the farmer
benefitting."

MEMS CLOTHING

j. L. Davey has generously Of
fered to clean free Of charge any
mems clothing which Wolf Point
people may wish to have cleaned
before giving to the Red Cross or
Goodwill department of the Wo-
mans club. Mr.. Davey's offer does

to give if they were cleaned up,
and yet who no not feel they can
go to the expense of having the
garments cleaned. Mr.. Davey's
generous offer will take care of
just such situations, and will be a
real contribution toward the well
fare work that is being done.

Churches Contribute Literally
Where did it come from? The
answer is that it came from Cath
olic and Methodist churches, gath
cred by. parish priests and Metho-
dist ministers of the Twin Cities
and vicinity, and from Farmers
Union members Of Wisconsin and
Minnesota who sent it in by truck.
Kenneth Homes, state board mem
Der of Colfa1, Wisconsin, brought
in a truck load, a part of which
was contributed by Colfax merch-
ants.
Wis Merchants Give
Homes called on the merchants
and suggested that the occasion
a good opportunity to
dispose OF shelf worn goods. "Clean
out your stores" said Homes, then
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1931-11-06

stock up with fresh goods. That
will help set someone to work in
a factory"
And right there is a point worth
emphasizing.
Some Editorial Comment
At least SO per cent of the popu-
lation of the United States af-
ford to buy a new suit of clothes,
a new pair of shoes, or an over
coat. If every such person would
shed the suit he is wearing or the
shoes, and contribute the over
shoes in the closet, give to the
poor and needy, and then go and
buy a new garment, shoes or over
shoes, the factory wheels of the
U. S. would start turning, and men
and ome would be back on the
job making a living.
That's the practical side of this
work we and thousands of others
are doing. Practical charity in the
midst of the glut of things-the log
jam of distribution, will set indus
try on wheels and start the Amer
lean chimney stacks belching out
smoke.
If this great truth, could be
pounded home to the American
people we would be out of our
misery in six months and back to
normally.
Once that sort of thing gets go
ing national fear will end, and
nothing in the world so paralyzes
individuals and groups of individ-
uals as fear. Fear is capable of
provoking insanity, individually or
collectively. 1t Is fear-the after
math of war which keeps Europe
an armed camp.
But back to drouth relief.
Collins is pounding away on the
radio daily; and the churches
both Catholic and Protestant are
pouring in their gifts. And isn't
it fine and human? Not 80 hong
ago this country was rent with
religious bigotry. Now we are all,
Catholics and Professionals, joined
in a common humanitarian cause
OF relieving human distress.
Verify, "one touch OF pity makes
the world akin"
