BEAR EATS
FISH CATCH IN PARK

Park Ranger Fred B, Hodgson
of Lake Mcdonald always has
his bear troubles. If he doesn't
have to stop on the highway to
warn visitors against feeding
the wild animals the bears fol-
low him around.
Last week while on a patrol
trip into the back country OF
the park, Hodgson stopped to
try his luck in one of the noun
tain lakes with his fly rod. The
ranger landed two nice rainbows
which he placed in his creel on
shore so as to wade out after
another. A noise on shore at
tracted his attention after he
had laid out a nice cast and
he turned to see a large black
bear helping himself to the two
trout in the creel.
Hodgson ate beans for his
evening meal, but the fish must
have been good because the
bruin followed him on his patrol
trip for the next two days, ap-
parently waiting for Hodgson to
catch some more.

GUIDE QUIZ BRINGS
ANSWERS

What is a national park?"
"A national park is where
eastern people spend their sum-
mer vacations"
That was the answer District
Ranger Charming T. Howell OF
Glacier National park received
the other day in giving an oral
examination to one of the saddle
horse guides.
What about western people?"
asked Howell.
"Oh, that's where western
people work during the summer
months" was the reply.
Ranger Howell explained to
the would-be guide that a ma
tional park is an area of ma
tional significance distinguished
by unusual natural scenery
which has been set aside. for
preservation and dedicated to
the use of the people.
Examinations have been given
to each of the 60 saddle horse
guides this season in order to
determine their competency as
guides, their familiarity with
Glacier National park and their
ability to care for tourists on
saddle trips. Only a small per-
centage of those taking the eX-
animation have failed.

The Low Down On
HICKORY GROVE

If a person is lame, halt, and
blind, I guess he maybe would
be excused for not seeing what
they are cooking up down on
the Mighty Potomac. But If you
are only near-Sighted and need
one crutch and not 2, you have
no alibi. But, in Germany they
didn't see it quick enough and
she looks like we will turn out
to be just as simple.
We figure it is a hot joke
when Mr.. Hitler has an election
and tells everybody how to vote.
If they heed Mr.. Hitler they
stay out of Jail. But out yonder
in our own San Francisco, the
home of the Native Sons and
hard-shootin' pioneers, they got
their orders on voting, just like
in Berlin or Hamburg. Herr
Ickes has told them. He says,
"here you rootin'-tootin' outfit,
you are gonna get into the cleo
trio business. You will vote for
municipal ownership and not
maybe. So, do So"
Out there they have already
voted the thing down 7 times in
a row, but this time the orders
are coming from the Royal
RoStrum.
And we smoker at Hans and
Fritz, and at socialism, and die
tatorS, elsewhere.
Yours with the low down,

OF TRACK WASHOUT

Hysham, Aug. 13-(UP)-Mor-
ris and Norris Cole, farmers
near here, today had received
the official thanks of the Nor
thern Pacific railway for their
timely warning that a flume of
an irrigation canal had broken
and washed out about rs feet
of the railroads tracks.
Superintendent C. T. Sponsel

He said that had it not been

the warning, might have been
wrecked.

Bozeman, Aug. 13-CUP)-Ag-
ricultural officials here warned
again today that the grain stor-
age situation in Montana is
critical, and that farmers who
do not have storage space in
elevators or granaries should
provide temporary bins to pro-
tect the grain from weather
damage.
They suggested that temper
airy storage bins could be built
of two rows of woven wire fen
cling with heavy building or tar
paper between, and the entire
bin placed on a wooden plat
form. They said such a bin 10
feet in diameter and one tier
high, would hold $50 bushels;
II feet in diameter, 800 bushels;
IA feet, 900 bushels, and 18 feet,
812 bushels.
Washington, Aug 13-(UP)-
The general level of prices re
ce;ved by farmers during the
month ending July is advanced
7 points to continue a rise that
had totaled % points since
March IS, the U. S. Agriculture
department reported today.
AT 125 per cent of the 1904
average, prices of farm products
were higher July IS than for
any month since March, 1887.
On July Is, 1910, prices were
only IS per cent of the pre-War
level.
The price advance was gener-
al, with all groups of products
except fruit and truck crops
sharing in it. Meat animals
were 10 points higher on July Is
than a month earlier; chickens
and eggs were up 9 points;
dairy products 8 points, and
grains 2 points.

On The Form Front :

Helena, Aug. 13 -lUP) -
Generally favorable weather
throughout Montana moved
crops further along toward ma
turlty last week, the U. S. Ag-
ricultural Marketing service and
weather bureau said today.
Sugar beetS, corn and other
row crops were reported grow
ing favorably, while graSShop-
pers were increasing in eastern
and northern counties but had
not done much damage thus
far.
The wheat harvest was pro-
crossing rapidly with reports OF
yields varying from Is to 40 bu-
shells to the acre. In earlier-ma-
turing sections, combining was
nearly completed, while some
oats and barley was reported
harvested in the northwest.
Livestock was reported in
good condition, with water and
feed plentiful in almost all sec
tons of the state.
Washington, Aug. Is -(UPl-
Agriculture Secretary Claude R.
Wickard said today more than
a third of all money loaned by
the Farm Security administra-
ton to more than 100000 farm
families has been repaid, al
though a large part of it is not
yet due.
These families, Wickard said,
borrowed approximately $780,
100000 and already had repaid
nearly 5000, 900, 900. More than
$4,000 borrowers had repaid in

 FOR BLONDES
 Certain simple beauty rules which I, as blonde, have found inval- uable, are:
 applying your makeup, which pre-
 Use a foundation cream before vents chapped and peeling skin, and apply makeup sparsely.
 Never go out without a good sum- tan lotion if you are sun-wor- shipper. Be sure your beach wardrobe includes clothes to pro- tect yourself, particularly your head, from too much sun.
 Since blonde hair has a tendency toward dryness and brittleness, too much importance cannot be stressed on brushing the hair. Always brush up and away from the scalp.
 A good method for kepeing the hair soft and pliable is to apply olive oil to the roots once week, before each washing, with soft sponge or a pad of cotton. If pos sible, leave the oil on over night. It will protect your hair under any kind of duress and will wash out easily.

INTERPRETATION OF
 MEnICALESE

The polyglot state of the modern civilized world is an ever present impediment in the way of peace and amity among nations. It seems strange that educators have not been able to agree on some artificial lan- guage such as Esperanto or to estab- fish as an essential of a fair educa- tion a working familiarity with Eng nsh, French, German, Spanish and Italian.
 In a similar way modern medi- cine is more or less Greek to the great majority of laymen, regard less of educational standards, be- cause the general public does not understand MedicaleSe and good interpreters are few and far be- tween.
 Although I have devoted myself for years to the job of interpreting modern medicine to the public, and have occasionally scored a small triumph, I have never been more conscious than I am now of the mediocre character of my work. I say ''my work, amiably assuming entire responsibility for the worst tricks the copy-readers, typograph- CTS, editors and other cenSorS can play with my stuff. That is, I felt amiable about 1t up to the time when the foreman in the linotype room of a great newspaper exhibit- ed to me, with chortles, his collec- tion of typographical errors he and his crew had achieved over 8 period of years. Since then have always harbored dark suspicious of the motives that inspire such men.
 suppose I can't blame them, though, for changing the verb excise (Medicalese for cut out) to exer- else when I speak of cutting out gum tissues damaged by pyorrhea. Nor can I raise a yelp when they blushingly change the adjective congenital (Medicalese for present to birth) to congenial when I talk about congenital hip disease. But these are only mild instances of the sort of punishment meted out to me day by day. Formerly 1t irked me more or less, but now just say to myself, Well, you asked for it, using such equivccal or technical terms in such circumstances" AS for proper use of the term belly which means the front wall of the

 The national mems pair cham pionship is held each year at the summer session of the national tournament at Asbury Park, N. J. The 18th annual contest will be tournament at Asbury Park, N. J. held the week beginning Aug. 4.
 Today's hand, played in the mems pair championship last year, is still remembered for the odd fixing" it gave one pair. The usual result on the board was a four-spade contract by North. East opened the singleton heart. De- clarer at once led trumps, and the defense could make only its two aces.
 At the table where the hand was bid as shown, with North making the jump two-spade bid to show 8 very strong suit and outh making cue bid in diamonds, East decided it would be useless to try for a heart ruff. He took the diamond bid to show real suit, probably headed by ace-Queen, so he decided to open diamonds in order to force the guess of the finesSe on declarer at once.
 Declarer saw no reason to risk the diamond finesse when he could take the ace, cash the ace and king of hearts, and discard his other diamond. But East ruffed the king of hearts, cashed the ace of clubs, and led a second club, which West ruffed. East still had the ace of trumps for the setting trick.
 Thus the North-South pair was fixed" by the fact that the only East player who did not hope for a heart ruff was the only one who actually got it!
