mitchell by 5000 votes, was the
answer given by Joseph +. Tlttln-
ger, Committeeman Of the Second
ward when he was asked In an
interview about the outcome OF the
Congressional race in the First
District. "On what do you base your
predictions, Mr.. Tittinger?'
.On the two main issues" re-
piled the Committeeman. THE
poor showing his same opponent
made two years ago after six years
In Congress, and second on the ex-
ceptional record Mr. Mitchell has
made in Congress-" The gentleman
lit a cigarette and set back COM
fortab,y in his chair and said, "Now
let me explain that two years ago
the people of this district were
so thoroughly disgusted with the
then Congressman, who is Nit
chell's present opponent, t h t
they voted him out by over 5000
votes. Since then that gentleman
has done nothing to endear himself
to the people. On the other hand
Mr.. Mitchell has made a record in
Congress that is a credit to his
race and to the country. The men,
mers of the Second Ward Organi-
cation do not find 1t difficult to
campaign for him because he has
done things to make them proud
of him.
"Mr. Tittinger can you name
some of the things that Mr. Nit
chell has accomplished in Con-
gress?"
"Surely, that's very easy" re-
piled the Committeeman. "In the
first place, Mr.. Mitchell introduced
at least five outstanding bills in
Congress-one TO MAKE LYNCH

this was introduced IS days after
the Congressman took the oath of

At this point his secretary in
formed Mr.. Tittinger that he was
wanted on the telephone.
During the few minutes of tele-
phone interruption, my mind dwelt
on the subject of the interview

 "The latest craze in the world Oe dance" he announced, "is called swing nuslc,' for rea- sons about which there Is much dispute. But let us not forget that Che classics themselves were once young and fresh. They were once hot music too.
 "When Beethoven's sublime Ninth Symphony was first played, t was not sublime at aII to the Stodgy critics.

THE government at Buenos < Aires, in l726, sent seven fam lilies across the river Plata to found the city of Montevideo, Ia. ter capital of Uruguay. From among these settlers arose Jose Gervasio Artigas, powerful, intre. pid leader of a ragged people who were continually being oppressed by the Spanish and Portuguese.
 When revolt struck South America in 1910, Artigas, then 46. led an army against Montevideo, headquarters of the Spanish gov~ ernor. Everywhere his country" ifnen acclaimed him, and his army increased in size. but when the Portuguese came to help the Span~ lsh rout the rebels. Artigas fled.
 Then began a grand exodus of l3,000 men, women, and children under Artigas, across the Uruguay river to Argentina, where for i've years he ruled as their protector. When the Portuguese turned against the Spanish, they opened the way for Artigas' return.

went up today.
They went up yesterday, and the
day before. They have been inching
toward 1929 prices ever since the
Summer of 1882, but particularly
since 1888.
The shrinking supply Of diamonds
in pawnbrokers' trays is responsible.
The pawnbrokers' offerings make"
the New York diamond market, down
on the Bowery, and the New York
market makes the American market.
Market Goes Up.
Dealers, clustered around showcases
and examining stones under the blue
white counter lights of the Bowery'S
seven diamond exchanges, nod their
heads and cluck their tongues. The
market is up.
Ben Fabrikant, a partner in one of
the exchanges, explained: People
are redeeming their diamonds from
the pawnshops Stones are getting
scarce So prices keep going up. A
man buys diamond from us, and in
10 minutes it has been sold four more
times, each time at profit"
Auctions PatrOnized
Some diamonds are imported, but
the import tax makes it more profit
able for the exchanges-the seven
"centers' of exchanges do gross
business of from eight to ten million
dollars month-to buy at the pawn
brokers' diamond auctions The law
stipulates that gem must be sold 13
months after it is pawned.
It's the middle class redeeming
diamonds" Fabrikant amplified, mot
the rich people buying them, that is
sending the market up. That shows
times are better. We simply haven't
got the diamonds to sell that we used
TO have"

Entomologists attending the annual
conference of western states entomoIo,

the federal government to share the
expense of fighting crickets IN nine
western states, reports DR.. A. L. Strand.

partment.
It is estimated, DR.. Strand states,
that a total OF 466 ,667 acres in the nine
states should be busted during the 9 3
cricket campaign. The Montana acreage
that should be busted is set at 100000,
costing, at the rate of Sl.50 per acre,
q total of $3.50 900.
Local county governments, under the
ARRANGEMENT proposed by the entomol-
ogists, would furnish materials, equip
ment and the transportation for mate
rails, labor and equipment. The federal
government would be asked to furnish
the necessary labor and supervision.
In the nine western states of Nevada,
Utah, Wyoming. Idaho, Montana, Colo
RADIO, Oregon, Washington and Cali
fornia, it is estimated that the total
cost of fighting crickets in 1887 will
amount to approximately $685. 900. OF
this amount the entomologistS pro-
posed that the federal government pay
1851 $50, leaving $183, ESQ to be paid by
local governments.

WEST YELLOWSTONE TUCKS WHITE
MAN1lE OF SNOW ABOUT HER
AND DIGS IN FOR n WINTERS REPOSE

West Yellowstone has Just n
folded herself in the snowy mantle
of winter preparatory to lapsing
into a deep, dreamless sleep until
next June. The last U. p. train has
departed from the western entrance
to Yellowstone park, taking with
1t all of the company attaches who
are stationed throughout the sea-
son at the depot park. There only
a little colony of "year-around" res
identS remain who will be cut off
from all contact with the outside
world-except by telephone or a
specially ordered airplane-until the
SHOWS melt and travel is resumed
next spring.
West Yellowstone is a busy little
town during the park tourist season
hotels, restaurants, stores, gas
stations and curiO shops. With the
close of the season the businesses
that cater to the tourist trade shut
up shop for the winter. But sup
plies, it is stated. can be purchased
from a permanent establishment
which stocks up heavily with pro-
visions and other articles when the
SHOWS begin to fall.
LII railway CiECIcS IL IS Stdleu tHdt
only n person, a woman, has
ever left West Yellowstone after
railway traffic had suspended and
she travelled by airplane. This was
accomplished in the recent past
after a landing field had been es-
tablished in the West Yellowstone
district.
"The people at West Yellowstone
don't seem to mind their isolation"
said a railway attache who has fire.
quently visited the park on the first
train in after the winter. TN fact
they seem to enjoy it. One man
said it was nice to be shut in be-
cause we have something to look
forward to when spring breaks
again."
There are wild animals in Vel
lowstone park just across the fence
from West Yellowstone - huge
brown and grizzly bears, cougars
and smaller beasts. Timber wolves
are not extinct in the wilds of Mon
tana and coyotes are still numer-
Gus. But the ''year-around" resi-
dents do not complain of these Gre
atures. The forest rangers r on
the job all the year round and they
are very alert The bears and cou-
gars know that the better plan is
to "stay on their own side of the
fence"-inSide the park-and the
little settlement is not annoyed by
them.

With a flood irrigation system
built at a cash cost of only So for
materials, w. A. Scott, rancher near

hay this past summer, according
to NJ. P. Ostby, Wibaux county
extension agent.
In constructing his project Mr.. Scott
built a rock and earth dam across a
coulee that has a drainage area of
long and eight feet high. The spillway
is $50 feet wide and two feet below the
top of the dam. The total labor re-
quired to build the dam amounted to
10 man days and 20 horse days and
the only outlay of cash vas So for
planks.
A diversion ditch five feet wide and
three feet deep takes the water from
the reservoir to a 20-acre field where
spread the water. A pillow and scraper
were used to dig the ditch and it re-

that year the 20 acres of alfalfa pro-
duced two and one-half tons of hay

Trucks Are Speeding
Gold Ore Shipments

The Hassel mining district, an early
day famous gold mining site, in the
Townsend region, is again promising
big returns to those fortunate investors
who own mining rights in that area.
Shipping has started from the Louis
Green mine and if the returns con-
tinue, a car will be loaded every six
days from the Green and AL Dance
mines.
Trucks are running day and night
into Townsend with their precious car
go, which is then sent to the East Hell
nj smelter. Twenty-Five men are m
ployed in these two mines alone, and
many others are working in the sew
eral other mines in the district.
The ore shippers are looking forward
to the time when repairs on the road to
H,assel will be completed so that the
trucking may go ahead at full speed.

A unique Montana story has been
acc( pied for publication. It is the
late Carl F. Mobiles service record
in the World war, told without
boasting Of beefing-though there
was plenty of occasion for either.
The story was not written for pub
LEGATION but for the writer's children,
then small. that they might have
something intimate of their father by
which to know him more truly when
they were old enough to understand;
for he had been gassed and knew
that he must die.

They start again across a continent
but:
1t was different now. I suppose the

Carl Noble died in the veterans hos

his death he asked Mrs. Noble to leave
him and return to their children. He
