GOOD TIMES AND OLD TIMES

Notwithstanding the period of depression which has en-
quilted every section of the country within the past several
years, there are still some who can, or fancy they can. catch
a glimpse of the silver lining OF this dark cloud of business
adversely.
Thanks we say. to those citizens who have faith in the
future These are the folks who keep things moving. Faith
is a wonderful virtue and the lack of it would have long since
wrecked the nation. yes the world. and possibly the civilization
ped completely into collapse. Sometime, and possibly it is not
many months away, there will be a return to normal condition;
factories will be running full time once more, money will find
its way back into the channels of commerce and trade, and the
dinner pail which has in some sections been empty so long
will once more be filed.
Even with the hardships which many have undergone, it
is doubtful If there are any who would like to see the order
Of things turned back thirty or more years and a new start made
from a point that far back in the past There has been talk,
and lots Of it recently, OF burdensome taxes, of extravaganza in
government and lack Of confidence in the business world. Yet
no one would want to see conditions as they were thirty years
ago. Let your memory run back over the period of the usher
ing in Of the 90s. How many automobiles were there in this
county? How many miles of improved highways? How many
homes had a radio or boosted of an electric refrigerator? How
many housewives used vacuum cleaners or prepared meals by
electricity or gas?
While there are those who talk of the return of the good
old days and times, how many people living today and who have
experienced the pleasures of modern inventions would want to
and return to the methods of the socaned good old days? Few,
if any, we venture, would agree to such a thing. Let us rely
on that faith that has builded the greatest nation in the world
to bring US out of the present chaotic conditions and a return
to better times as well as good times+-Star, Elkton, Maryland.

prospective world production drop

tions have attracted little support.
Presidents Statement
The President said:
at has come to my knowledge
that certain persons are selling
short in our commodity markets,
particularly in wheat. These trans
actions have been continuous over
the past months.
"T do not refer to the ordinary
hedging transactions, which are
a sound part OF our marketing sys-
tenn. | do not refer to the legiti-
mate grain trade. I refer to a linn
tied number of spectators. I am
not expressing any views upon &C.
onomics of short selling in normal
times.
"But in these times this activity
has a public interest. 1t has but
one purpose and that is to depress
the prices. It tends to destroy re-
turning public confidence.
"The intent is to take a profit
from the losses of other people.
Even though the effect may be
temporary, it deprives many farm
ers of their rightful income.
"If these gentlemen have that
sense of patriotism which outruns
immediate profit, and a desire to
see the country recover, they will
close up these transactions and de-
sist from their manipulations. The
confidence imposed upon me by
law as a public official does not
permit me to expose their names
to the public"
Finishing his prepared statement,
the President then emphatically
added:
"If I could, | would gladly do
so"

wind, Steyie Marmon sprained his
ankle.
A large number of farmers, both
in the Wolf Creek neighborhood
and the territory south of Benrud
had been hit by the hailstorm a.
bout three weeks ago, but grain
and garden stuff came on after
the rain that accompanied that
storm, and they expected to get
enough crop for cattle feed and
garden stuff for winter supplies.
The storm Wednesday night
pounded gardens into the ground
and made waving fields of grain
look like plowed ground. Coulees
that are usually dry had streams
of water four or five feet deep at
ter the rain that amounted almost
to a cloudburst in some sections.
The width of the strip that was
hit by hail has been variously es-
timated at from 4 to IL miles, but
a six mile strip angling from
southwest to northeast would
probably cover the worst damage
in the west end of this county, but
reports indicate much other
stricken territory all the way from
central Roosevelt to Central Val
ley county. The hall did not
reach as far north as the cotton
wood, although there was a soak
ing rain In that section.

not as many farm people as usual
but more from long distances
The stock-horses, steers and
calves-were well up to the high
standard set by former shows.
The speed stock was the best ever
entered here. The trained and
trick animals were also the best
ever used in this arena. There
was more entertainment on the
programs and the show was faster
than ever before.
But of all the improvements the
loud speaker, electrical announc-
ing system furnished by Raymond
Rathert was the greatest and
most appreciated. The announc-
ing by Wilson and Borgert car
ried clearly to every part of the
stands and field and greatly in
creased the enjoyable qualities of
the programs. The broadcasting
of the details by station KICK
was fine service and must have
been appreciated by those both
far and near who were unable to
attend in person.
Year by year the crowds become
better acquainted with the lang
uage of rodeo and gain a better
understanding of the rules under
which the riding, roping and
wrestling contests are held.
There were a lot of flashy per-
formers who caught the fancy of
the stands such as RUDE Roberts,
Floyd StiIlings and Carl Beasley,
regardless of whether they met all
requirements and won prizes or
not. The crowd learns to appreci-
ate that there is a large element
Of luck in the horses, steers and
calves that are drawn.
On The Street
The street was a show in itself,
and together with the programs at
the Liberty theatre and dances
filed in the evenings. The riding
devices were the delight of the
children Then there we're side
shows such as Steer Montana, one
of natures genuine wonders-a
perfectly formed type of beef

animal six feet high, over ten
feet long and we'll over nine feet

Montana, on account of transport
ing him all over the United States
cannot be kept in fat condition. If
fattened like animal, feeding ex-
perts say he could be made to
weigh close around $500 pounds.
The steer was raised at Baker,
Montaa. The owner, Jack Guth,
was offered $4,000 for his prize.
And there was the snake man
with a huge basket of snakes,
mostly r~attlers, which he handled
and lectured about.
No one needed to go without
eats or drinks or a chance to in
vest a dime in chance on sudden
riches.

bucked him off right in front of

first, but he was on his feet by
the time the ambulance got to him.
One woman in the grandstand
wished she was c~ross-eyed so she
could watch the bucking contests
and the bareback riding at the
same time.
Those Texas longhorn steers
weren't so big, but they were
tough, and when one of them brac-
ed all four feet the spectators
could look for a real wrestling
match. Sometimes the b%ulldoggeT

victorious. But, win or lose, the
cattle all knew where that south

esting to the spectators than yer
before. Grady Wilson and ]. B.
Borgert made good announcers.
Floyd Stillings made a beauti-
full ride in the bronze riding finals,
and many expected him to get
some OF the final money, but the
judges saw too much daylight be-
tween him and the saddle, and not
enough between the horse and his
hand at one certain moment.
But Stilling's little playmate,
Burrell Mulkey cantered off with
first day money Thursday and
first in the finals Saturday.
Somebody wondered why Sam
Grover got so many rides for his
money. Well, he couldn't seem to
draw anything but nice gentle
broncs-the kind that are perfect
ly safe for women and children.
When at last he got a real bucker,
it sunfished him into third money.
Roy Cox ran him a close second
on the number of re-rides.
1t was observed that some of
the broncs that put up the biggest
fight in the chutes couldn't buck
for shucks in the arena, while the
horses that yer quiet in the
chutes waited until they had eros
sed the race track before they be-
gan their bucking exhibition, and
then staged a Tom Mix thriller.
Rube Roberts set up a new To-
cal arena steer wrestling record
of 10 As seconds on Thursday and
Carl Beasley showed it down one
second on Saturday.
George Pitman's trick riding
was quite a sensation. 1t was his
first appearance here.
Malice Harding, the child rider
and rope spinner, and her beauti-
full little horse, quickly won favor
the crowds.
No previous Stampede has wit
messed so many breath-taking
tumbles by performers and race
riders. The reason was wilder
animals and faster races.

tween two other groups of ranch
buildings, those of Morris and Ben
Peterson, only about the distance
of two town blocks apart. But
peeling the tar paper of n end
Of a building on the Morris Peter
son place was the only sign that
anything had been touched. This
storm moved northeast. There
was heavy rain and hail.
North of Poplar
At Seips and Mineral Bench
buildings were torn to pieces and
scattered. In the Divide country
and south Of Benrud p. o. thous-
ands of acres Of grain. believed to
be the best in the county was
beaten into the ground. Included
were the farms of Sethre, Davey,
Spencer. Smith, Zimmerman and
John Nelson.
The crops of A. r. Toavs, Iarg-
est farmer in this part of the
county, were damaged or destroy
ed, 1900 acres or more, with ex-
ception Of 80 acres. Many other
indefinite reports have been heard
OF ruined crops and buildings.
At Glasgow
Coming from the north with
terrific force the wind worked
havoc at Glasgow. Houses were
unroofed, small buildings and
chimneys blown down. Windows
broken in and houses and base
ments flooded. Bricks were hur1-
ed from the tops of business build
ings into the street. A vast amount
of damage was done to the new
quarter-million dollar high school.
Nearly all the windows were
blown in on the west side Of the
building. It Is estimated that the
damage to the school alone will
be $4,000.
On the irrigated fields of the
Milk river south of town, hail lay
four inches deep after the storm
had passed.
The most serious loss is the
destruction of crops that would
have made stock feed. Because
crop prospects were so uncertain
only a few had hail insurance.
No deaths or serious injuries
have been reported,
