Wednesday evenings storm
threats were made good with a
vengence, but the blow did not
fall here, but to the north, north
east and west. Reports are still
coming in from the stricken belt.
A sweltering day with the air
so loaded with humidity that wet
clothes would not dry on the line.
An evening sky hung low with
sullen, scowling clouds. Warm
winds coming from first n way
and then another. Then the calm
that brings with it a premonition
of impending tragedy. The stage
was set. A roar out of the north
told of action.
Here in the river valley and for
several miles to the north the
storm, when it finally arrived,
brought only a torrent of rain
driven by a stiff gale. But up four
or five hundred feet higher on the
Benchlands, from s to rs miles
north, the elements went mad.
Winds that were at places storms
within a storm. swept over the
prairie with cyclonic force, their
savage assaults covered by a bar
rage of hail.
All Thursday and today reports
have come from points in the
stricken territory. Evidence of a
small tornado comes from the j.
c. McLachlan ranch 81 miles
north. All buildings except a
granary were torn to pieces and
the debris and pieces of furniture
scattered far and wide. Parts OF
a combine harvester were twisted
out of shape. A metal washing
machine was picked UP and set
down on the other side of the
harvester. Chickens were killed
and their featherless bodies scat,
tered about. Only two were still
alive and they were without
feathers.
The McLachlan family was in
Point that day to attend a
funeral. They returned home in
the evening just after the storm
had done its work. Just before
reaching home their gas tank
went dry. That incident possibly
saved them from death in the

ranch the little tornado passed be-

the airport fund.
Local taxpayers might be inter
ested to know that approximately
Ga per cent Of the city tax nov
goes into the interest and sinking
fund. The interest that Wolf Point
is paying is $500 a month. By in
creasing the amount that goes in
to the sinking fund, it makes it
possible to pay a greater amount
on the principal of the outstand-
ing Indebtedness, thus decreasing
the interest.
During the last three years the
city administration, by exercising
economy, has been able to make

ORIENTAL MOVIE QUEEN SUES
 SWEETHEART

Shanghai-(UP case, which has attracted more attention in Chi nese circles than any other in years, is one in which Miss Butterfly Wu. one of the Chimes motion pie ture stars, has sued Lin Shih-wan, also a movie actor, to annul her betrothal and be awarded dam ages.
 Thousands of Chinese stormed the courtroom during the hearing. The judge reserved judgment.
 Butterfly" Wu was starred re- gently in the first Chinese "talkie," entitled "The Singing Peony." She is considered the most popular screen actress in China.
 In 1928, she was engaged to Lin at an elaborate ceremony in the Moon palace. The marriage mas been postponed several times, and now the actress wants to call It off. But Lin still wants to marry her, and refuses to break the en- gagement, which Is a binding con- tract in China.
 The judge did his best to recon- cile the couple. Miss Wu asked the return of loans amounting to $2.- | 400 she said she had given her | fiance, and 5000 damages. con- sidered large in China.
 Miss Wu told the judge she de- served this amount because, 1T sne had not been tetrothed three years to the defendant, she would already have made satisfactory marriage

YOUR CHILDREN
Ry Olive Roberts Barton 1!ss! sY MIA SERVICE INC:

When the children go on a pie mic give them the following in- structions.
 They must not drink out of any spring or well unless it is one known to you. A thermos bottle of cold water is better. Thermos bottles are cheap and l think them to be invaluable. Milk in another makes an excellent adjunct for the picnic lunch-
 If they stop at a top stand tell dirty and the people who run 1t have dirty hands, advise them to pass 1t by and hunt clean one. wrapped in oiled paper, or, if freshly made, handed to them on a plate. No pop bottle or cold drink bottle of any kind should be touched with the lips. The contents should be slipped through a straw or poured into a paper drinking cup.
 Paper Utensils Valuable
 wish that individual paper drinking cups were used more gen. erally at soda fountains and ice cream parlors. Also, shiver at the silver-plated spoon that gets only a cold milky bath between adventures. Papier-mache spoons are so cheap, and so are the card board saucers and drinking cups, that it semes to me every dealer could use them without much extra expense.
 To go back to the picnic: Tell the children to watch out for sum- burn. It can be very serious thing if you don't happen to know this already. A child who goes in swimming and then runs around in the sun for couple of hours is going to have a miserable time of 1t if he is not hardened befOre- hand to the suns rays. l have seen children laid up for weeks with severe sunburn-it is as bad som etimes as a real burn. More- over 1t does something drastic to the entire system.
 Big straw hats help a lot-reg- ular farmer hats from the five and ten make excellent picnic hats as well as play hats. When will we learn that heads on boiling days should be covered?
 They should never go bathing in ponds. Even running water in the most innocent-looking of creeks might bear investigation. but of course we cannot be too grandmotherish. Just tell the llod- CT ones to use judgment mad not to go in if the water is near a dirty lokoing farm or barn or group of buildings. They must never drink creek water
 like rubber bathing shoes. They protect the feet from cuts and stone bruises. Cuts usually cannot be treated quickly enough far away from home. A tiny box of first-aid is an easy thing to tuck away in the lunch basket: A small bottle of iodine, cotton, carbolized baseline, adhesive tape, and small scissors. Tell them if they get hurt to put on little iodine first before they wash the cut

 That Are Smart By Florence La Gankc

One of Nancy's friends had a little curly haired boy or two who always looked well dressed, and, what Is much more difficult to achieve, always looked as though his clothes had just been put on. How do you manage, Martha, to keep Tim looking so clean and fresh? Don't you have to keep a laundress full time on his clothes alone? I know I would have to do that if I hoped to have Peter look as nice as your young son." No, because most of his clothes are made so simply that 1t takes but few minutes to iron a romper suit. Want to see the pattern that I use?"

 And when Nancy saw the pat tern she was not surprised at the ease of ironing and for the matter of that, the ease of making
 Martha took fast color linens, for good rompers, and fast color cottons for every day wear.
 The rompers were cut in one straight piece. Then cut-outs were made as indicated for the space that became the crotch. The whole piece was now bound with bias tape in a contrasting or har- moniZing color.
