FINE CROP OF MELONS

VIM. Meier, farmer and garden
err, Just across the river, had great
success with an acre of musk mel
Ions this season, a new variety
which he had never tried before
which proved especially productive
and of excellent quality. They are
netted and gray-green in color
somewhat similar to the famous
Rocky Fords' and are known as
"Rocky Fords." Delivered right off
the vines they are ripe, juicy and
of delicious flavor. Mr.. Meier makes
regular trips to Circle and Brock
way as well as Wolf Point with
his melons.

ROOSEVELT LAYS HIS PLANS
BEFORE KANSAS FARM CROWD

vidual countries permitting them
to sell goods to this country in re
turn for the privilege of selling
American goods to them.
Six-Point Plan
Leading up to his six-point plan:
the democratic nominee declared:
Z" want now to state what seems
to me the specifications upon which
most of the reasonable leaders of
agriculture have agreed, and to ex-
press here and now my whole-heart-
ed accord with these specifica-
tions"
The specifications yer
"First-The plan must provide
for the producer of staple surplus
commodities, such as wheat, cot
ton, corr Tin the form of hogs),
and tobacco, a tariff benefit over
world prices which is equivalent
to the benefit given by the tariff
to industrial products. This diff
ferential benefit must be so ap-
piled that the increase in farm in
come purchasing and debt paying
power will not stimulate further
production.
"Second-The plan must finance
itself. Agriculture has at no time
sought and does not now seek such
access to the public treasury as
was provided by the futile and cost
ly attempts at price sterilization
by the federal farm board. 1t
seeks only equality of opportunity
with tariff-protected industry.
"Third-It must not make use of
any mechanism which would cause
our European customers to retail
ate on the grounds of dumping. 1t
must be based upon making the
tariff effective and direct in its
operation.
"Fourth-It must make use of
existing agencies and so far as pos
sible be decentralized in its admin
istration so that the chief respon-
sibility for its operation will rest
with the locality rather than with
newly created bureaucratic mach
merry in Washington.
"Fifth-It must operate as near
ly as possible on a cooperative
basis and it's effect must be to en-
nance and strengthen the coopera-
tive movement. 1t should, more
be constituted so that it can
be withdrawn whenever the emer-
gency has passed, and normal for
eign markets have been re-estab-
ished.
"Sixth-The plan must be, inso-
ar as possible, voluntary, / like the
dea that the plan should not be
into operation unless it has
he support of a reasonable pro-
of the producers of the ex-
portable commodity to which it is
O apply. 1t must be so organized
hat the benefits will go to the man

Coin Car Turns Over
Occupants Badly Bruised

When Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Coin
from northeast of Poplar were re
turning Monday from the Valley
fair they had the misfortune to
have their car upset near Toulee
Creek. Both were badly bruised and
were brought to Wolf Point for
medical care. They were lucky not
to have been more seriously hurt
than they were.

Vida-C

Vida-Culbertson
The struggle for the county pen
nant was a game to keep the fans
on their toes and exercising their
lungs from the first ball to the
final out. The big delegation from
each town did loyal jobs of root
ing and the rest of the crowd sup
piled it's quota of noise.
The usual complete cor was
not received from the official scor-
er so the lineups and some of the
more important features are all
that a be given. The batting and
pitching appears TO have been
pretty ever and for four innings
there was no scoring. In the 9th,
G. Singleton hit, made third on an
error and scored on a fly to center.
Vida was giving Dye good support
and Brown was keeping the hits
well scattered. After that nobody
crossed the plate till Culbertson's
half of the ninth. Hale, Reiter and
MOen hit in quick succession n
Moen's slam was long enough to
bring his teammates home. That
was the end of the scoring. George
made a brave start for
a rally, in Vida's half, that should
have at least tied the count, with
. two-bagger that might have been
stretched to three. But Williams
famed. G. Singleton walked. Sorley
flied out and Nefzger was thrown
out by Brown. From reports pick
ed up it was a nip and tuck, fast

PROGRAMS, FINE EXHIBITS
PLEASE LARGE CROWDS
SATURDAY

Saturday the editor and family
took their annual vacation. 1t was
a motor tour to Glasgow. After
drawing two days of inclement
weather the Valley county metro
polls got a break and had a great
last day for the county fair and
highway celebration. The forenoon
was we'll filled with stunts. a big
barbecue and the highway Celebra-
ton and dedication. The crowd
swellel rapidly until bucking the
line for a bun and hunk of barbe-
cued meat called for football train
ing. But there was plenty for all.
Tennis Rem of Wolf Point made
two successful parachute jumps.
A couple of truck loads of merchan-
disc gifts, over 500 articles, were
tossed out to the crowd.
The completion, a few days fe-
fore, Of the Glasgow-Nashua unit
of Highway No. 2, virtually the last
piece of that highway in Montana
to be completed, was the occasion
of a dedication program. Governor
Erickson, Congressman Leavitt and
Scott Hart, division engineer, made
eloquent and interesting address
es. The ceremony of %dedicating and
opening the new road was appro-
priately carried out.
The Opheim male singers gave
several numbers at the dedication
and again at the grandstand. Their
well trained voices are very pleas
ing and their selections roundly
applauded.
Fine Exhibits
The large exhibit hall was crowd
ed with splendid exhibits in every
department. Grain, vegetables,
flowers, dairy products, needle
work, An and school work-all
were surprisingly excellent. A long
procession of well bred dairy and
beef stock was paraded in front
of the grandstand while County
Wilson told all about them
the announcing system. There
was plenty of class in the fine pro-
gram of races, including several
horses owned or known here.
Points From Speeches
Governor Erickson stressed the
value of irrigation. He said it is a
tine thing to have roads which in
vite people to come into the state,
but it is much better to have some
hing to offer which will induce
them to remain here. Irrigation
would increase the productivity of
he land and enable us to develop
soil resources. He said that
when vast sums were spent de-
,eloping eastern and southern riv-
RS and harbors, that was all right,
yhen the south was given assist
nee to fight the boil weavil, that
vas all right, when the Panama
anal was built, that was all right,
nd it is equally all right that the
arming industry in the northwest
e given assistance. He said that
While Montana needs assistance in
eveloping her agriculture, at the
anne time the east needs a mar
ct for her goods. Greater pros
Gritty in Montana means more
riders going east for automobiles,
nd hundreds of other things.

DECLARES FOR NATIONAL
PLANNING IN AGRICUL-
TURAL PRODUCTION

Speaking to great audience OF
farmers at Topeka, Wednesday,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, governor OF
New York, outlined a program call
ing for national planning in ag-
r%iculture" and declared the admin
istration's efforts for farm relief
had failed. He termed the activi-
ties of the Farm Board as 'specu-
lative" and said they must come
to an end.
Six points upon which he said
most of the reasonable leaders"
of agriculture had agreed in their
efforts to restore agriculture to
economic equality with other in
dustries within the United States
were cheered by the crowd. He said
the claim that the republican dis
criminatory tariff methods are a
benefit to the farmer is a cynical
and pitiless fraud" and that more
republican tariffs might be expect
ed from "the present republican
leadership"
Speaks at Capitol
Mr.. Roosevelt spoke from a plat
form erected atop the steps OF the
state capitol to a crowd estimated
by national guardsmen at more
than 10000 persons.
AS permanent steps in his pro
grom,
Reorganization of the agriculture
department to supply the admins
trative machinery needed to build
a program of national planning.
Formulation of a definite policy
looking to the planned use of land,
including mapping and classifica-
ton of land to determine which is
best suited to determine production
and which for trees.
National leadership in the reduc-
ton and more equitable distribution
of taxes, including a national move
men. to recrganize local goFSfn-
ment to direct the elimination of
some of the tax burden from the
farms.
His emergency proposals called
for refinancing farm mortgages TO
believe the burden of excessive in
terest charges and the grim threat
of foreclosure"
The second immediate necessity,
he said, was to provide a e of
bringing about through government
tai effort a substantial reduction
in the difference between the prices
of the things the farmer sells and
those he buys. He added hat one
way to attack this was by the res
toration of international trade
through tariff readjustments.
He said the democratic tariff pol
icy consisted in large measure or
negotiating agreements with indi-

Not Another BRYAN

Republican political strategists can
hardly put a Bryan frame around
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Mark
Hanna made very effective cam
paign against Bryan and in behalf
of Mckinley by raising the cry of
radicalism. This is not 1896 and
Roosevelt is not second Bryan.
Bryan entered the political arena
with virtually no experience in public
office. Roosevelt is no fledgling in
the public service nor is he the Bryan
type of a dreamer.
The Columbus address was not
Bryanesque in tone. Wall Street and
big business need not shudder at its
economic trend. There is much that
Roosevelt said that will find approval
on both sides of the political fence.
Some OF the suggestions made by
Gov. Roosevelt may sound radical to
those in good positions and having
access to healthy bank balances but
what OF the man who walks the
streets, the farmer without a paying
market for his produce, and families
who feel the pinch Of want? They
can see nothing radical in Roosevelt's
campaign promises; in fact, they are

The Spanish Revolt

There is something just a little bit
comic about the complaint, Every
body abandoned me-" which was
voiced by Jose Sanjurjo after the re-
volt which he tried to lead in Spain
collapsed, landed him in prison and
resulted in sentence of death.
The leader of any revolt has to
take his chances; because, in most
cases. he has no very definite idea
how much popular support his move
merit is going to command. It may
sweep the country like wildfire, in
which case he becomes a great popu-
lar hero and rises to the height of
fame and power; but it may, just as
we'll. fizzle out like a wet firecracker,
leaving its leader in a very pro-
nounced jam.
That seems to have happened in
Spain; and the cry, Everybody aban-
ooned me-" rings out as the perennial
wall OF the revolutionist who mis-
judged the popular appeal of his
cause.

from motorists. Neighkors Just didn't
exist. Most families didn't know who
lived across the street, and what's
more to the point, they didn't care.
So Patrolman Overman decided
that his street wasn't very good
place to live. Then he got busy. He
cleared the weeds from several va
cant lots as starter.
Other residents of the street be-
came interested. He told them he
was going to build a playground to
keep the children of the neighbour
hood off the streets. In true neigh
borly fashion. they turned into nelp
him.
They built swings and teeter-tot-
tiers from scrap lumber left when
Overman's garage was partly burned,
they laid out a baseball diamond and
an ingenious workman fashioned
scoreboard Of waste boxes and boards.
AS result Patrolman Overman'S
street is rapidly becoming an excel
lent place in which to live. Children
of the neighborhood didn't have to
be asked to come to "Overman Park"
to play twice.
Their fathers followed them. And
now the big problem is to find room
for baseball diamond for the boys.
Their fathers are using the first one
almost as much as the youngsters.
Overman himself summed the
whole thing up very well when he
said, This sure goes to show that it
doesn't cost anything to enjoy your
self-if you just find out how"
