Artificial Clouds

Trails left by a four-motor bomb

Monday morning brought many Cd

Many hotly contended that the
big ship, which was many thousano
feet high. was laying a smoke tran
as graceful circles and cloverleats
became visible. The plane itself was
at an altitude where it could barely
be seen.
Weather experts, however, eX-
planned that the trails were merely
handmade clouds. generated by ar
planes under certain weather con-
ditions. A news story many months
AGO told of how observers in Eng

War COUNCIL
IS APPOINTED
BY GOVERNOR
Old Members of Preparedness
Commission Renamed
by Ford.

Members Of the new Valley county
war council are the same as those
who constituted the old county pre-
paredness and advisory commission,
according to appointments made this
week by Gov. Sam c. Ford.
Named by the governor were Mark
Watson, chairman; Mrs. Maud Dill
lard and Joseph Shower.
In letters to the appointees, Gov
ernor Ford said:
Appointment should have reached
you some time ago, in view of the
fact that the last session of the
legislature changed the name of our
war defense organization from pre-
paredness and advisory commission
to wal council.
However, / know the mere matter
of title has made no difference in
the interest you have taken and that
you have contributed your full share
to the progress of the war effort
along its many diversified lines.
II am sure you will accept this
appointment and that you will con-
tinue to give the same full measure
of interest you have displayed in
the past"

WOLVES TAKE
SCOTTIES BY
25-6C COUNT
Heavier and More Experienced
Pointers Count Twice in
Last Period.

Glasgow high school lost its first
football contest of the season to a
heavier and more experienced Wolf
Point club, rs to 6, on the home
field Friday night. The Wolves had
a clear margin, but the breaks pre-
Sented them by a green Glasgow
team accounted for at least two
goals.
Coach Lowry's Wolf Point aggre-
CATION presented a fine runner and
pass toSser in Herman Bushman.
While Bushman himself made no
scores, his running and throwing set
up all the scores. There were some
bright spots for the home fans,
among them Frank Hollands ball
backing and the fact that a light
Glasgow line many times outcharged
a bulkier Wolf forward wall.
Glasgow injuries were costly. End
Otto Bundy suffered a broken arm
near the close of the second quar-
ter, not long before Magruder was
taken from the game with a head
injury, cancelling an effective Scot
passing combination.
Scots Hold Twice
Early in the game, the Wolves
marched to the Glasgow A but the
Scots held and advanced the ball
back to midfield before losing it on
downs. Again the Wolves .1olied to
the Scot 2-yard line. but fumbled
and Glasgow recovered. An Inflated
Scot pass into the flat was inter
cepted by Stephens. On the second
play after, BuShman rifled a pass
II yards to Steele as he stood on
the goal line. Extra point try by a
line smash failed and it was 60.
The Scots made a game come
back on the next kickoff and long
runs by Holland and Magruder put
the ball on the Wolf Point 6. Four
tries advanced it to the l and Bush
man kicked % yards out-of-boundS.
A Magruder-HopStad pass and Hell
lands run put it on the Wolf IL.
Magruder dashed around right end
to goal. The Scots failed to convert
on a pass and it was Go. Shortly
after this Magruder was hurt in re-
turning a Wolf kick. Glasgow
punched to the visitors % where
they took over and went down the
field to the Glasgow IL. There,
again, Bushman, passed to Johnson,
over the goal, and it was 1916.
A few minutes after the kickoff,
Holland passed to Bundy from mid
field and the Glasgow end was al
most in the clear when he was
tackled on the Wolf Point 24-yard
line. Wolf Point recovered when the

RECLAMATION
SURVEYS Mn
IRRIGATION
Project Across Missouri from
Frazer Would Water
. 1000 Acres.

The bureau of reclamation has
completed detail surveys of the pro-
posed N-Bar-N irrigation project OF
1000 acres south of the Missouri
river near Frazer, according to a
letter received by c. H. BrockSmith,
vice president of the Farmers
Stockgrowers bank, from Charles t.
Hinze, associate engineer stationed
at Bismarck, N. D.
Under the direction of this office
we have completed detailed surveys
of this project, including classified
ton of irrigable lands" the engin-
GERS letter states. Crews were sta
toned at Wolf Point and at the
peak of the work We employed about
20 men,"
AT the same time we explored the
foundation conditions at the site of
the proposed pumping plant and
found them satisfactory. The prof.
ect as set up at this time involves
the irrigation of about 1000 acres
of lands to receive water by pump
ing from the Missouri river. Power
for this purpose would be made
available from Fort Peck"
Hinze adds that additional activ-
ity" is hoped for Dol in that area.
Tentative plans previously advanced
by the bureau as part of a huge
reclamation development stemming
from Fort Peck call for the pump
irrigation of a dozen-odd large
points of land along the Missouri
between Fort Peck and Williston,
N. D.
Bureau officials recently an
nounce they will make surveys Of a
proposed power line from Fort Peck
to Glendive by way of Wolf Point.
Such a power line could provide en-
ergy for the N-Bar-N and other
projects between Fort Peck and

Payments Tipped
20 Percent for
AAA Allowances

The 1943 agricultural conservation
program has been amended to pro-
vide a 20 percent increase in final
production practice allowances" it
was announced today by Thomas A.
Wagner, chairman of the county
Triple-A committee.
This increase has been authorized
so that Triple-A cooperatorS may
more fully utilize conservation prac-
tees, he said. Farmers and ranch
erS must perform production (soil
building) practices to earn the ad-
ditional allowance.
This year the Triple-A program
closes Oct. 81. Producers who have
not yet completed soil-building
practices in an amount equal to the
allowances for their farms have I'M
til the closing date to do so.
