citation, was reelected president

cast in the balloting.
H. w. Funston, president OF
the Big Horn Dam association,

there.
Among the things brought
about at the three day meeting
was the organization of a group
for the purpose of bringing be-
fore the government and the
public the need of increased
acreage and a stable price for
beets. An opposition group
wanted to curtail acreage upon
the basis that less beets would
bring higher prices.

newly formed organization
named a representative from
each of the II states belonging
to the association to carry on a
campaign to congress and the
public to further the aim of the
organization, it was reported.

stated that large appropria-
tons were being made for ma
tional defense at this time. but
the greatest national defense
the government could give the
United States was an employed
and satisfied people and that
there was no division of agrl-
culture that furnished the homes
and EMPLOYMENT that sugar
heets afforded. He added that
the national defense program
should give first consideration
to agriculture through reclama-
ton.
1t was reported that there
might be slight delay on the
survey of the Yellowstone river
watershed due to the national
defense program using. part OF

it was the largest and most in
teresting meeting he had at
tended in the last four years.

members to the compact COM
mittee that is to reach an agree
ment with wyoming on water

INTERESTING SKETCHES

Spooks: Recently word spread
that an old brownstone house rapid
ly falling into ruin on the outskirts
of the Bronx was haunted. The taIe
ran that the ghost was that OF
woman who had been killed there
by her husband many years ago. NO
one saw the ghost but several per-
sons declared that in the darkness
of the night they heard mearthly
groans. Finally four young men, all
deeply interested in psychic phe-
nomena, decided to investigate.
Meeting at midnight, they boldly en-
tered the house. What was taken
to be a moan or a groan sent three
of them out hurriedly. The fourth
remained. His companions waited
for him breathlessly and just when
they had made up their minds to
notify the police, out he came. With
him he brought not one "ghost" but
two. They were a pair of small
owls that had evidently decided that
a ruined and deserted house made
a fine residence.
Zoological: Friends of Medrano
and Donna, Hispanic dancers, OBJ
served them sneaking in and out of
vegetarian restaurants lately. AS
they seldom eat anything but meat,
so much curiosity was aroused that
a checkup was made. 1t seems that
on their last trip to Argentina, the
dancers acquired pet ocelot. It's
a gorgeous, sleek animal. closely
related to the leopard. When young,
it makes a playful and entertain
ing pet. But when it grows older,
it reverts to nature and becomes a
fierce. meat-eating beast. So, to
keep their PCT tame and happy,
Medrano and Donna have been en-
deavoring to fool it with a diet Of
vegetable and meat balls.
Stories: Several correspondents
have called attention to the fact that
the Hitler death prediction, pub
lished here a little while ago, was
old. I hadn't happened to hear it
before. A Teek after it appeared,
one of the wire services carried a
Monterey, Cal, dispatch giving the
same yarn with slightly different
twist. Thus I wasn't the only one.
Curious how such tales keep bob
bing up. Core to mind the corpse
