ONLY SO DAYS UNTIL SfxLN1,
BUT WEATHER REMAINS
SEVERE n

Wednesday of this week mercury
bulbs skidded upward In a spectac-
ular rise and this section basked in
mild temperatures for the first time
In weeks.
Bitter cold continued to hold this
section in its grip and from present
indications the winter of 1887 will
go down in history as n of the
most severe on record in northeast
ern Montana.
Early Tuesday morning thermom-
eters plunged to SO below with con-
tinued cold throughout the day.
Monday thermometers here read rs
below. Minimum recordings for the
week averaged more than 20 below
the zero mark with the warmest
reading at 4 above.
January went down in history as
the coolest in this section IN rec
ord. February was ushered in with
continued biting temperatures and
but little relief is in sight.
Roads are blocked in this section,
with the exception of main travelled
highways. Travel the past two weeks
has been at a minimum.
Only SO days remain until spring
is officially mustered in.
Records reveal that this section
this winter has had but one spell
which could be considered mild.

NORMAL GRANARY
plan MEETS With
GROUP APPROVAL
Farmers Invited to Support
Broad New Government
Farm Program

The administration invited far
mers Tuesday to support a broad
new government farm program
called the "~ever-normal granary."
Sixty-two farm leaders called to
Washington by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace discussed the plan.
Included In the representative body
was Harry Ehrmanntraut of Sheri-
dan county. Mr.. Ehrmanntraut was
called to Washington by Wallace to
confer on the subject.
The program would be designed to
provide ample supplies of food and
fibre, adequate storage Of these In
good years for use in short crop sea
son, and machinery to prevent the
surplus stock from becoming so large
they would force prices down and
injure farmers.
The secretary proposed to do this
by four stages:
First. the present soil conserva-
ton plan with its benefit payments
to farmers for improving soil would
be continued.
Second, when supplies of wheat,
cotton, corn or any other major
farm commodity were found lover
normal supply, the government
would offer loans to farmers on the
stored commodity. Wallace said the
loans would prevent farm prices
from falling to levels that would be
ruinous to farmers and injurious to
business"
Third, if the supply continued too
large the farmers would be offered
additional benefit payments to re-
duce production.
Fourth, if production expanded in
spite of the first three methods, a
rigid crop control plan would be OPP
Grated.

Herald Prophets Again
Lead with Chins; Pick
Tournament Winners

Well, folks, the peerless
representations of the Third
Estate are at ii again. In keep
ing with the Herald forces
blind predictions of the past
few years, they again have
ballOted on the teams which
they think will occupy the first
six positions when the battle
smoke OF the district tourna-
ment, to be played here next
week. rolls away.
Last year an inspired band
of red-clad boys from Medicine
Lake, not figured to place by
the Herald brain-trusters, bat
tied through tough opposition
TO take second money. Their de-
Feat OF PlentywOOd shunted the
favored Wildcats to third place.
Here's the way we picked them
last year, in the order named:
PIentywoOd, Outlook, Fakville,
Scobey, Westby, Peerless. And
here's the way they placed:
Outlook, Medicine Lake, PIen-
tywood, Flaxville, Scobey, Peez-
less. Which gave us a batting
average of about O.
The Herald force, devil to
editor inclusive, believes II will
do better this year. As NAV be
seen at the bottom of this story
we have again picked Plenty
wood to finish at the top of the
heap. The Wildcats have an i'm
pressi,e seasons record, and
despite the fact we choose them
to lead the field to the wire.
they have a good chance to win.
We believe their hardest COM
petition will come from Antel-
ope, whom PlentywoOd has de-
feated twice by one and two
points respectively. Then, too,
there are Scobey, the defending
Outlook B~luejays, Flaxville and
the ''giant Killer Lakers to
consider. Dear, dear, dear.-
the pitfalls of the sO~Othsayer!
The force ballOted on the
first six places, 6 points for list
place, ) for End etc. Here they
are:
(1) PlentywOod
(2) Antelope
(3) Outlook
(4) Flaxville
(5) ScObey
(6) Medicine Lake
And don't say WE told you.

When storms blocked roads. max
ing car travel impossible, Kenneth

drifted roadways to reach Minton

Minton a seemingly impossible goal,
they were forced to give up and re-
turn to Uncle Sans domain.

THE FUN

Place a clean, dry saucer or plat
ter upon a table. Take a pencil,
eraser end down, and hold it
against the platter at an angle Of
about As degrees. Push firmly in
an endeavor to move the pencil
across the platter. You will find
that the platter moves and may
even push. the table-covering or
table itself.
Place a small quantity of water
in the platter and repeat. You
will find the pencil eraser now
moves across the platter with very
little effort. We might say that
it "skjds" across the platter. There
will be no tendency to move the
dish.
The Washington times., 1937-11-23
THE FACTS

On clean, dry pavement, your
tires exert a very strong push. It
Is this push which moves your car
forward. When the pavement is
wet your tires have a tendency to
repeat the eraser and wet platter
performance. This may prove to
be dangerous if you try to stop
quickly or change your direction
suddenly Other conditions which
tend to cause similar results are
wet leaves, car tracks, oil, ice and
snow Under such circumstances,
whenever you feel impatient, Just
remember the wet eraser.
