the freshman class of Delaware Col
lege University of Delaware show
that they are above the average of
freshman in Ala colleges and uni
Versities Ofethe country as to men
tality. The tests were given by the
various departments. This also up
holds the claim of Dean George E.
DuttOn and other members of the
faculty that the students entering
Delaware are much better prepared
than in former years. The freshman
class of Delaware College this year
is the best prepared of any freshman
class that has ever entered the col
lege. This speaks well for the high
schools of the state as the great ma
jority comes from those schools.
A recent report by Dean George
E. DuttOn shows that So students of
Delaware College University of Del
aware were in the scholastic honor
roll for the term ending last June.
These SO students had an average
of B or better in all classes. Two

WOLVES KEEP UP
WINNING STREAK

Sunday the Wolves, who opened
the season with a couple of loses
continued their upward climb by
besting the Bainville beaneatcrs
IL to 8. This gives the county-seat
ers three wins and two loses for
a rating of 600.
At the seventh inning Brandon
& Company we're leading II to I.
Then they became a bit ragged in
fielding and the east-enders bunch
ed a few hingles and nearly caught
up. A nice steady job is waiting
for somebody as scorer for the
Wolves. Sunday they had no rec
ord-keeper so details are lacking
Weingartner was in the box and
except in a couple of innings held
the Bainvilles safely. Martin did
the receiving. In the other posi-
lions were: Brandon first, Jacob
second, Courchene third, Prender-
CAST short, Femme left, High Eagle
center, Clark right.

STRANGE CONTRAST TO THE
PARCHED CONDITIONS
OF YEAR AGO

When it rains it pours. Reference
is not made to a popular brand of
salt eyether, but to Montana wealth
err. Beginning the 21st of April,
emitting some 20 dry days right in
the middle of May, and coming up
to the minute this is written, and
you have a program of rainy days
and nights hard for people at a
distance Especially former Mon
tanans) to believe or imagine.
The longer they continu e the
more torrential the rains become.
Wednesday evening and Thursday
they reached the c%loudburst stage
with three separate floods report
ed along the line of the Great Nor
thern, at Lanark Wednesday about
5 o'clock p. M, Thursday after
noon between Wolf Point and Pop
lar and near Frazer. When the
skies opened at Lanark and filled
the coulees the natural drainage
took the water to Bainville. Shot
gun creek became a mountain tor
rent.
A Bainville correspondent writes:
"The cloudburst near Lanark
backed up more than three feet
of water here today, flooding base
ments and covering Main street.
Several families left their homes
temporarily and emergency crews
moved store stocks from shelves.
Miles of fence was washed away
in the vicinity north of here. Trains
were delayed here several hours
because of damage to tracks east
of Lanark. Highway bridges were
guarded. Property damage is con-
siderable, the foundation of the
Valley Tribune building was des-
troyed."
The way vegetation has grown
proves that this region would be
tropical if the weather man was
always as generous as now. Grass,
native and cultivated, flowers
(many kinds only rarely seen here
wide fields of grain, gardens, trees,
climbing vines, bushes and of
course the inevitable weeds-all
have reached or stretched to sur
prising dimensions. Kneedeep in
June, right here, may mean roses,
or rainwater.

SHOWERS, RAINS, FLOOD MAKING
CLOUD BURSTS DRENCH STATE
Those Myriads Of
Small, Brown Moths

You must have noticed them
the thousands upon thousands of
fluttering moths that fly up out of
the grass, weeds and trees-are
said to be the insects that deposit
the eggs from which the green
and brown beet worms hatch. Sew
eral localities were over-run by
these worms last summer but not
much damage was done because
there was little to be destroyed.
County Agent Warden vas quest
toned on the subject this week and
said he anticipated nc serious
trouble this season by either worms
or grasshoppers because of the
wet weather. He said that an
abundance of rain is a fairly safe
protection against about all kinds
of insect pests that bother crops.

BILE, this item would be $1,000 less.
SWhether or not this French
