N Hunting Is
Appeal for 1-Day
Sage Hen Season

A number of local sportsmen
joined this week in an appeal to
Valley county hunters to stay at
home" on the one-day sage hunt
ing season set for Sunday.
There are virtually no young
sage hens this year." one sportsman
pointed out. IF hunters go out
Sunday, they WILL, nine chances out
of ten, kill older birds. All they
will be doing is to kill off val
liable foundation brood stock and
hamper the increase of one of our
fine game BIRDS"
For these reasons, many hunters
in the county have decided not to
take advantage of the one-day lei
son, hoping that by being conser-
vation-minded they will have bet
ter hunting in future years.

LOCAL WHEAT
STORAGE IS
AT CAPACITY
One Elevator Plugged; Others
Now Accepting Only
Cash Wheat.
Car Situation Tight, But Farm
Granaries VIII Take Most
of Overflow.

Heavy wheat yields, coupled with
what INK elevator man called 1.-THE
highest a situation in rs years
has brought grain storage here to
near-capacity.
One local elevator here had shut
down completely Wednesday. An
other elevator and the Glasgow flour
mill were still taking wheat for cash
sale but were accepting none for
storage.
Along with the shipping situation
was the fact that yields are much
heavier than expected. Farmers are
getting 35 bushels to the acre when
they figured on 90" another ele-
vator manager declared.
one bright spot, they added, is
that many wheatgroWers anticipat-
ed difficulties and prepared to are
for grain with farm storage. Very
little wheat will have to be put on
the ground.
Scenes here the past week dupli-
Gated those of other bumper crop
years, with trucks in lines eight
and zen deep waiting to discharge
their loads at elevators.
Granaries for Sale

will De helped by the announcement
that 146 granaries throughout the
county built last year by the COM

Sales are being made through the
county agricultural conservation
association and some granaries al

the county AGA, said granaries
ranged in capacity from 2,790 to
5000 bushels. Joint purchase can be
made. she said, but if producers are

Tragic Accident Claims Life of

of His Home.
Many Attend Last Services for
Boy Conducted Here in
Methodist Church.

A tragic playtime accident, in
which he was Smothered in a dis

death Saturday evening of Gerald
L. Kinzell, 8, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Kinzell Sr.
Gerald was last seen playing near

ternoon. His parents, thinking he
was with playmateS, did not become
alarmed about him until 8 that eve

The entire town vas covered and
parties searched the river near
town.
About 3 Sunday morning, when
some friends were with Kinzells at
their home, Mrs. r. Alger recalled
a case where two boys had been
caught in a refrigerator. Mr.. KinZell
then thought of the old iceboX near
the garage.
He and Rodney Benzien immedi-
ately went to the box and, on open
ing the closed door, found Gerald'S
body inside. The box IA on a slope,
Coroner j. A. Holland said, and it
is probable the door on the mechanl-
cal refrigerator had swung shut and
locked when the boy had craWled in
it while playing. A physician who
was called said he could have lived
only a short time in the restricted
air space.
Gerald was born in Glasgow in
October, 1884. His father has been
in the local schools for e V
eral years. Besides his parents, he is
