DEWEY LOWERS MAKES
TOUGH FORCED LANDING

Dewey Lowers, sometimes call
ed George, while returning from his
second trip to Malta and the scene
of the Schnitzler-Hedberg fatal
crash, suddenly found himself con.
fronted by an ugly problem in av.
iation. 1t was another of those
dark gray-low leaky ceiling days
which in themselves make flying
hazardous.
Flying at about rs feet and di-
rectly over the railroad tracks,
near Nashua, Dewey's motor, after
a single warning put quit cold.
Seventy-feet of altitude and not an
ounce of power is a situation us
ually good for serious results. Dew
ey pulled out of it. He kicked her
over" clear of the tracks and set
her down on three points in a
thick clump of sage brush. Not a
bit of harm to plane or pilot.
He looked first in the carbu-
refer for the trouble and there he
found it-a chunk of ice.

FEED WHEAT FOR
INCOME FARMERS

Many of the farmers of the north
half of McCone county who have
been anxiously waiting for the gov.
eminent wheat, allotted to their
district for free distribution for
stock feed, were rewarded by the
arrival of seven, and then two
more cars this week. Each car con-
tanned 500 bags of 100 pounds of
cracked wheat.
The distribution was begun We'd
nesday under the management of
the North McCone Red Cross com
mittee of which Harold Bawden
is chairman. The work proceeded
without friction. Everybody
happy in spite of the steady
rain that made the roads worse ev-
cry hour. The reporter did not
learn how many rigs hauled away
some of the feed but if they av-
eraged a ton to a truck or wagon,
225 could have been supplied. 1t
IS understood that there will be
more of this wheat delivered here
or northern McCone county and
here is some more nov on track.

RAINS EXCEEDING ALL
APRIL RECORDS HERE

Numerous old timers have been
interviewed but none has yet been
found who recalls as much rain in
April, in Montana, as has fallen
the present month.
Since the extra heavy downpours
Of the night Of April 20, or the
morning Of the 21st, there have
been but two days without rain
and they were not bone dry. How
much water has fallen in this To-
ca1ity nobody knows, there being
no standard rain guage. Some peo-
pie who have had a rough check
on the precipitation, by means of
milk or other cans believe four in
ches is a conservative figure. Cul-
tivated ground will not take any
more water. The streets are
streams of loblolly mud. Unsur-
faced country roads are in places
nearly impossible, and the big
highways are lone too good in
spots.
Nobody is kicking. The general
feeling is that if there is enough
rain, early enough in the season,
the local depression can be lifted
by the floating process.

BEN GETS UP WITHOUT
A CALL FROM BIG BEN

Somebody asked Ben Anderson
if he had taken a soft water bath
this Spring yet. "Tll a l have
he answered.
Ben has a coal mine across the
river down by Bob Steffensen's.
Tucked away safely in a coulee he
has a shack for sleeping purposes
when it is convenient to spend the
night there. A nice little dry wealth
er ditch was dug for drainage. Ben
and Herb Seth stayed there a week
ago Wednesday night.
Right in the midst of an interest
ing dream about mining Ignite in
a submarine Mr.. Anderson awoke
and was startled by the sound of
rushing water and pounding rain.
He hit right in the middle of the
floor and got his peyamas wet half
way to his knees. The water was
rising just like yeasty bread sponge
by a warm fire. Something had to
be done. Hurriedly consulting a
book on irrigation he found that
his run-off facilities had not been
adjusted to mass production. Ben
and his helper jumped into a few
clothes and got out and got under
a sort of understudy to a cloud
burst.
A platform favoring bigger and
better bitches was unanimously a.
and a bid of two spades
eventually won the pot. Their mat
tress and breakfast table then be-
gan to recede after a visit to the
roof. But the coal miners were wet
-wetter than Al Smith and New
Jersey put together.

Mr.. Schnitzler had for years
owned airplanes and used them for
business and pleasure. For Sunday
he had planned a quick trip by
plane to Havre and on his return
intended to take the Great North
ern's Empire Builder at Williston
that night for Minneapolis. He had
made numerous appointments in
connection with the trips and was
determined to go forward with his
part even though the weather that
morning was far from the best.
The early morning broke partly
clear at Froid with some sunshine
and the promise of more. The start
was made at $50 or a little be-
fore. Havre is some IL or Is miles

$50 SQUARE FEET NOT
QUITE $50 FEET SQUARE

A flower bed of $50 square feet
contains exactly that number of
one foot square spaces-15O of
them, each II inches each way.
But a flower bed $50 feet square
contains 22,50O square feet, and
would contain exactly $50 of the
$50 square feet beds.
Judge Gordon, secretary of the
Commercial club, says he has re-
ceived several calls from people
contemplating entering the clubs
flower garden contest. But they
say: Judge, We have not enough
room on our lot for a flowerbed
$50 feet square,"
Square feet and feet square do
sound like n and the same thing.
But after the number zone" is
passed, there is a rapidly growing
difference in the size of the actual
surface described.
The contest rules made bv Sec
~
rotary Gordon said the flower beds
should be not less than $50 square
or more than 300 square feet IN
size. The first means a bed 10 X
10 feet or II X 1912 or ~ x 90
or any other equivalent. The 300
square foot bed would be one 10
X 30 or 20 X Is, or such.
By the way, since this garden
idea was started the weather man
has decided to enter partnership |
with the ambitious garden plant |
ers, and all other planters. Moth
ing to hesitate about now. Condi-
tons are at top notch. Old Man
Drouth is sunk.

EGGS ARE CASH
in WOLF POINT
PRODUCE COMPANY WILL
BUY AND GRADE; TO COM
Ply WITH STATE LAW

An announcement of an agree
ment along the grocers with the
Wolf Point Produce company con
corning the handling of eggs in
this community in a that
meets the requirements of the
state egg grading law will be found
in this issue of The Herald.
From Egg Grading Bulletin
If the egg industry is to expand
and further develop, eggs must be
marketed o a quality or graded
basis. The consumer must learn to
recognize quality in eggs and to
insist that the dozen he buys con-
tains twelve wholesome, edible
eggs.
To promote the development of
the Montana egg industry; to pro-
hibit the sale of eggs unfit for hui
man food; to prevent deception in
the sale of eggs and to encourage
greater consumption thereof by
regulating and standardizing the
grading, classification and labelling
of all eggs displayed for sale the
legislature of 1881 enacted Chapter
1879, Laws of 1881, which was ap-
proved March II, 1881.
Under authority conferred by
this act the Department OF Agri-
culture has prescribed grades of
eggs as they will hereafter be
known or sold in the Montana
markets, as follows:
Specials the highest quality
eggs such as are suitable for every
use and especially for soft boiling,
,poaching or for use in a semi-raw
or raw state.
Extras-next to the highest quail
fty and representing the best grade
of table quality eggs ordinarily OBJ
tainable at retail stores. Eggs of
this class are suitable for all table
purposes and may be used for boil
ing and poaching.
Standards-the third quality, re-
present only fair table quality, az
though the great bulk of eggs in
commercial trade channels are OF
this grade. They are best suited
for frying, scrambling or for ordi-
nary cooking and are not generally
for ~poaching OF soft boiling.
Trades-the lowest or fourth in
quality of edible eggs, suitable for
cooking and baking.
Eggs are also termed as Large,
Medium and Small.
To class as large, eggs must have
IN average weight of at least "a
ounces per dozen. Mediums must
Weigh an average of not less than
,01h ounces per dozen; and smalls
must weigh not less than IL ounces I
Yer dozen. I
The condition of eggs must be
determined by Gambling. Q

north and 240 miles west of Froid
which is in the east end of the
county. Through Roosevelt and
Valley counties the Great Northern
railroad is ten to IS miles south
of a direct line drawn from Froid
to Havre. 1t was decided to take
the direct route and Pilot Hedberg
was provided with a map that
brought him to the railroad at
Saco, Phillips county.
The distance of a few miles from
Froid must have brought them to
the condition of heavy, low hang
ing, dripping clouds and fog that
existed in the central and western
parts of the county. After that it
must have been a precarious or
deal of cropping and guessing their
way through mist or fog, beneath
a low ceiling. P. A. Goerz, a farm
err residing in the Volt vicinity,
northwest of here, said the plane
was sighted in the early morning
and that it circled as though not
quite certain of its bearings.
The plane must have been held
pretty well to the course, however,
for it showed up in good time at
Saco. After circling above the town
the flyers made the error that led
to their doom by following the
Turner branch line to the north
west instead of the main line
which, west of Saco, bears sharp
ly to the south of west. At stations
on the branch about so miles north
west of Malta they seemingly dis
covered their mistake. They then
set their course southwest. evident
ly intending to go direct to Havre
or pick up the main line east of
there.
Six or seven miles from where
the flyers turned to the southwest
they reached the valley of Woody
Island creek and had to o it.
They came within 40 or so feet
Of making it.
George d. Lowers, Wolf Point
airways pilot, who formerly was
pilot of the Schnitzler plane, took
up the search for the lost flyers
when word of the situation came
from Froid Monday, flying George
Bairy's Kari-Keen mono-plane.
Learning from Havre that her
husband had not arrived there Mrs.
Schnitzler notified friends in Great
and at points along the main
inc where planes are kept. Two
Malta aviators, Ed Skrock and Roy
Dillon went out Sunday afternoon
md searched without success. H.
Hockerschmidt and H. G. Hollo-
way flew planes from Great Falls
Monday, arriving at Malta after
he bodies had been discovered, far
the course presumed to have
,een followed.
Discovers The Wreck
Chris Mallory, a rancher, who
new nothing of the accident or
he search being made, CHANGED
pom the scene about two O'Clock
afternoon. He made all
to reach a telegraph station
nd wire a message to the Phillips
ounty authorities.

Bolt Of Lightning
Damages Farm House

Neighbors were shocked to learn
that during the electrical storm
last Thursday evening that lightn-

Fleenor tearing the west gable off
the house and scattering lumber
and splinters all over the yard.
Splinters were driven INTO the

house. A gun, which was in the
basement of the house was later
discovered without a stock, that
part having been torn off. None of
the occupants of the house was
harmed except by fright.
