UNCLE WIGGmYs FIRE ALARM

Through the dark woods Uncle
Wiggily hoped home to his hollow
stump bungalow. Yet it wasn't so
very dark for the rabbit gentle
man as he carried, in cute little
box, a Lightning Bug. The Bug,
flashing his light beneath his
wings, made the dark path quite
bright for the rabbit gentleman.
This is very jolly" said Uncle
Wiggily as he hoped along, not
stubbing his toe nor splashing into
mud puddles because, by reason
of the Firefly's light, he could see
where he was stepping. 1T is very
Jolly"

SD0m'G Quote Me-
= By United Press .

Meyer, after years of experience,
had worked out set answers. He
knew just what the questions would
be and in the order in which they
would come. Sometimes he even
would run ahead of Brookhart,
answering the next question be-
fore it was asked. Each man had
his lines down pat and it was no
work for Meyer at all.
But now, with Brookhart gone,
there probably will spring up
someone else to heckle the reserve
board governor and Meyer will have
to think up a whole set f-anSwers
TO a new set of questions.
Brookhart never seemed to for
get those who had befriended him
in crisis. Notable is the case of
Senator Bingham of Connecticut.
Probably no two men in the SEN
ate are farther apart in every way
than Bingham and Brookhart,
The two seldom met and had in
terests as divergent as their per-
sonalities.
But when Brookhart was en-
gagged in a contest for his seat with
Imperial Valley press., 1932-06-10

Daniel Steck, Democrat, some years
ago, Bingham voted for the seat
ing of Brookhart and his vote came
when it was needed. Brookhart re-
membered. Whenever Bingham pre-
sented some personal bill, or asked
something of direct interest to his
state not involving fundamental
policies, he always had the sup
port of Brookhart. The Iowan
never said anything to Bingham
about it and Bingham didn't ask
for help. But Brookhart never
failed him.
Brookhart returned to the SEN
ate yesterday for the first time
since his defeat. Friends consoled
him. He appeared disappointed
and disilluSioned.

WASHINGTON, June 10. - The
defeat of Senator Brookhart for
the Republican nomination for SEN
ator from Iowa aroused more in
terest politically here than any pri-
mary result this year
On the day after the election,
newspaper correspondents at the
senate were constantly harried by
senators wanting the latest news
from Iowa Regular Republican
leaders were prominent among
those most interested. Some of
them didn't seem to conceal their
satisfaction over the result very
well. Brookhart has long been an
irritant to them.
Brookhart'S defeat will make a
lot of extra work for Eugene Meyer,
governor of the federal reserve
board. Whenever Meyer appeared
before a senate hearing where
Brookhart was present, the Iowa
senator would heckle him with
questions designed to show the re-
serve board anything but fair in
its relations with farmers. The
questions were always the same.

SOME MEDICINE NEEDED

IT is not too early for reminder that
next Tuesday is Flag day and that
public exercises in honor of the flag will
be held here in city park under the aus
pices of the Elks lodge, with the entire
city invited to participate
All of us have been doing so much
grumbling against the national govern
ment, what with prohibition, veteran
squabbles, taxation, unemployment, etc,
that a good dose of patriotism is badly
needed.
After all, this is our government and
our flag; as much the property Of
the humblest citizen of Ell Centro as they
are Mr.. Hoover's. When the time comes
that it is impossible for the sight of the
flag and the strains of "The Star
Spangled Banner to produce chill
up and down our spines, the United
States will be in sad condition.
We don't think that condition is any
where near. We are grumbling but we
don't mean it.
1t isn't good five cent cigar that this
country needs, but a rekndling of the
same love of the United States and its
flag that prevailed in 1918.

INDIAN DEPT
FOR PROJECT
COMM. RHOADS SAYS GREAT
BENEFIT OF IRRIGATION
is SEEN

Alexander S%ansaver, head of the
Fort Peck Farm and Livestock as
ISOLATION, has received a letter from
Commissioner Rhoads of the Indian
department that brings much en-
enlargement to the hackers of the
idea of an irrigation project on the
Missouri river, across the southern
edge of the Fort Peck reservation.
1t is evident that the real econom-
ic value of irrigation toward max
ing the Fort Peck Indians self sup
porting is recognized, and an early
Investigation of the proposed pro-
ject "is contemplated.
The Commissioners letter fol
lows:
This is acknowledge receipt of
your resolution of March II, 1882
requesting the support of this Of
flee in reference to H. r. 10240
authorizing development of the
Missouri River unit of the Fort
Peck irrigation project.
This is to advise you that this
matter is being given considera-
ton by this office and it is con-
templated to have Investigations
made during the coming summer
of the feasibility and cost of pump
ing plants to supply certain areas
adjacent to the Missouri river.
1t is realized fully by this office
that additional areas available for
the production of forage crops
would if properly utilized be of
great benefit to the Fort Peck In
dams and permit a much more sat
isfactory and profitable utilization
of the large areas of grazing land
the Fort Peck Indian reserva-
ton Immediately adjacent to the
Missouri river.

SIMON WALSH OF
VIDA SUCCUMBS

Simon Walsh of Vida passed a.
way this morning after an illness
of about a week. Death was caused
by perforating stomach ulcers. He
had been subject to stomach
trouble, and Thursday afternoon he
was brought to Wolf Point for
care, when his condition was rec
ognized as serious.
At the time of going to press
funeral arrangements had not been
made, plans awaiting the arrival
of his brother John from Minneso-
ia. 1t is understood, however, that
the body will be taken to Minneso-
ia for burial. Mrs. Walsh has been
in Indiana caring for her mother,
and is on her way west.
Mr.. Walsh was one of the early
settlers in the Vida community,
homesteading there about nineteen
years ago. Later, at the time the
Great Northern division point was
located here, he served as Great
Northern special agent with head
quarters at Malta.
A more complete obituary will
be given next week.

IT'S PURE-EE-NA, NOT
PURE-EYE, PKOO-NEE,
OR WHAT HAVE YOU?

Thirty odd years ago a young
man with a bent towards scientific
livestock feeding, then a rather
new-fangled idea, began expert
menting in feed mixing. His idea
lowered, bore fruit, and today is
known as Purina Mills. The young
mans name was VIM. H. Danforth,
now chairman Of the board of that
company.
And in Purina, Mr.. Danforth
gave to farming America a word
that probably today is one of the
most mis-pronounced in the lang
uage. Just how many ways Purina
is mispronounced, no one knows.
And yet there is but one correct
way.
The word Purina, which is a part
of the name Purina elbows by
which the feeds and supplements
made by the company are known,
comes from the common word pure.
When this young man got his idea
on livestock feeding and feed mix
he set up as n inViolate
rule that always all ingredients
must be pure. SO it was only nat
ural to seek to put that word into
the name of his products.
Purina was the result. And the
correct pronunciation is Pure-ee-na.
That's the way it's said in home
and research laboratories
in st. Louis. That's the way the
man who coined it said it.
-
The most common mispronuncia-
lion is Pure-eye-na. Other garbled
editions are Purr-ee-na, Pa-roo-na
and even Proo-nee. But there's just
1ne right way, P~ure-ee-na.
Purina feeds and supplements
ire sold locally by The Wolf Point
Produce Co.

SEED LOAN EXTENSION
BLANKS JUST RECEIVED

Walter cliff, administrator of
the Grand Forks seed loan office,
informs me by telephone that he
has just received supplies for re-
newing the 1881 loans on the three
year inStallment plan.
These forms must be filled in
at the Grand Forks office as it is
necessary to figure interest and 10
check all data pertaining to each
individual loan. This is being done
just as rapidly as possible. Papers
will be mailed to individual Dor
rowers AS there are over $4,000
loans to be handled in this way,
it is evident that it will be at least
ten days before this work can be
completed and the last of the loan
renewal papers mailed to the 1881
borrowers.
MI. cliff states that waiver forms
have been prepared and will short
ly be in the hands of seed loan
committeeman. These waivers can
be secured before the 1881 renewal
papers are received by the Dor
rover. In all cases, however, it is
advisable to hold the waivers I'M
til the other 1881 renewal papers
are ready to send to the Grand
Forks office.
In his telephone conversation,
Mr.. cliff indicated that every pos
sible effort is being made to hast
en- this work for he fully realizes
the need Of immediate action.
Just as soon as we have any
thing further from Grand Forks, it
will be placed in your hands.

managed to phone the sheriff's Of

After peering in at the windows.
the stranger finally entered the

asked for something to eat
and talked to the night waitress in
menacing, and indecent language
that frightened her. To the off
Gals he talked incoherently, gave
what is believed to be a fictitious
name and said he was from a Ger
tain place in Oregon. Sheriff Lowe
wired the sheriff there and receiv-
ed word that the description would
be checked up. The most noticeable
thing about the man is a decided

Lustre, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed Nahum
Of Waska and Mr.. and Mrs. H. j.
Ferdina of Volt attended the Farm
Union meeting at B~ainville Mon
day. They report an enjoyable
meeting. 1t was decided to have
the county convention and picnic
at Poplar, the date to be fixed lat
err, probably in July.
The following account of the
meeting appeared in the Great Falls
Tribune:
BAINVILLE-April 6.-At the
farmers union county convention
here ]. IT. Kelly of Castagne, state
president, urged that members of
the union write to Montana con-
gressmen at Washington, asking
that a sale of surplus wheat on the
sterilization corporation market
be made to foreign markets, where
there is a shortage. He urged that
this is an attempt to side step a
bill in congress for impounding
sterilization wheat for two years.
Mr.. Kelly stressed the value Of
united action by the farmers.
John Q. Zuck of Flaxville spoke
on the money question. He said
that 80 percent of all taxes is used
for payment of interest on debts.
The present depression he attri-
buted to a clause in the federal re-
serve banking act, which provides
for recall of loans at any time from
national banks. Since 1881, loans
of small national banks through
out the country have been rapidly
called in, he said.
Other speakers were County
A. w. Warden and William
Powers of Bainville, who gave the
address Of welcome. Julius Cess
of Volt, county president of the
union, presided. r. A. Harbo. coun-
ty secretary, vas present.
The 10 county locals were all
represented by 80 delegates. Total
attendance at the afternoon session
was about 200.

QUESTION A WEEK
ANSWERS TO SEEK

Tough as the job is, the editor
does not remember a president of
the United States who did not be-
come a candidate for a second
term, but is not certain there new
err has been one. Some failed of
reelection. How many and which
have served more than one term
is of special interest at this time.
Hence this weeks question in the
"ear" to the left, above. Get out
your histories or reference books.
Last Weeks Question
Last weeks question was about
a boy or girl and their savings &C
count. Starting an account with
$40 and depositing so at the close
of each six-months period for three
years. For the next two years de-
posting SIS at the close of each
six-months; then $50 at the close
of each 6-months for 2 years. In
terest at 5 per cent, compounded
semi-annually. What was to the
boys or girls credit at the end of
the seven years? The editor makes
it S243.76. A handy sum toward
beginning a college course. Diff
ferent ways of handling the tract
ional cents calls for a leeway of
about 10 cents difference in ans
wers. (Value of correct answer,
6 points.)

CITY VOTING TAME; LISTUG
ELECTED MAYOR; OPPO-
SITION NIL

Eight hundred and six people
presented themselves at the Wolf
Point polling place at the District
as school election Saturday and
voted. About 81 more voted at Volt.
Interest always is strong in the
schools but this was one of the
biggest turnouts ever known at a
district election. The vote of both
town and country was divided al
though there was no issue that was
publicly announced.
The opposing candidates for the
three year term we're ]. r. Burgess
and V. A. Lowell. For the one year
term VIM. Mindeman and II. C..
Ditmarson were the candidates.
The names of Louis V. Balbinot
and A. L. Homrighaus were also
on the ticket but they were not
voluntary candidates and asked
everybody they saw not to vote
for them.
In town, Lowell received 1876
votes to 270 for Burgess. Minde-
man received 46S to 291 for Dit
marson. Fifteen were divided be-
tween Balbinot and Homrighaus.
AT Volt, Burgess received As to
SO for Lowell, Ditmarson A to 80
for Mindeman, with two scattering.
In The Wards
The city election, Monday was
one of the quietest ever held. There
were no issues, no feelings" and
no opposition. Mayor Swedberg,
w h o e two-year administration
seemingly has given excellent salts
declined to be a candidate
for reelection. 1t is a peculiar ira
dition of Wolf Point that, except
ing the first one, Joe Klinkham-
mer, no mayor has served a sec
ond term. Either they did not
choose to run or failed of reflect
ion.
When the time for filing was
nearly up Andy Listug was drafted
by his friends and his name placed
On the ticket. He received 40 v@fes
N the First ward, 81 in the Sec
md and % in the Third. Scatter
ng 2.
For aldermen, James Alrick re-
;eived 40 in the First ward; o.
Heinze had Sc in the Second
ward; Eli Maltby got rs in the
all being reelected. For
magistrate Judge Charles
GORDON, in spite of the fact that
ie claims he was bitterly opposed
" Wall street, received 1874 votes
n the whole city to one for Arlie
Noor and one for Todd Stanley.
WOO voters wanted Tom Dorr for [
dry mayor, and two favored Dad
learney for member of the coun-
il.
With a single exception the four '
lection boards in town were man
ed by women.
