town, were fully prepared" to
take care of all grain inspec-
tons promptly as in the past.
New equipment is being in

added as the demand requires"
said Sparkling.
He pointed out that all grain
in farm storage, on which a
government loan is desired,
must be tested for grade, mois-
ture and dockage. At the same
time Sparkling advised all farm
ers to ask that the protein con-
tent be shown on their certif-
icates, pointing out that while
the protein test would cost only
fifty cents, it might be worth
considerable to the producer
when the wheat was finally
disposed of.

Mahan, Montana adjutant gen.

France, to try to locate the
place where 10 of his buddies
were buried alive in a dugout
20 years ago during the World
War.
Mr.. Mahan was commissioned
for the task by the war depart
ment, as he was the only sur
vivor of the group. He was
asked to make the trip several
times previously but was pre-
vented by press of business.
The tragedy occurred Sep
TENDER IL, 1918, near Thiacourt,
France. In charge of 10 men,
Mr.. Mahan was ordered to fill
a front line sector about one
o'clock in the morning.
Shortly after the men moved
into the sector and took over
the dugout, it was struck by a
large shell. Mr.. Mahan was on
watch at the top of the dug
out stairs, and was blown away
from the spot. He spent two
years in government hospitals.
The 10 men in the dugout
were buried alive. After the

about to set out, the poor little rich
boy rode up on his motor bike. Of
