The Agricultural
Front

In spite of greatly increased live
stock receipts at the midwestern
markets this week, following the
Presidents price decontrol action,
livestock arrivals at southern ter
minal markets and major packing
plants increased only slightly, ac-
cording to the Production and Mar
keting Administration.
Hog receipts at most southern
markets were greater than in the

in effect, but offerings were still
too small to take care of current
demand. The greatest increase in
cattle and calf marketings occur
red at the country auction markets.

tie, calves, and hogs, with rates for
cattle and calves averaging $500 to
$500 per hundredweight higher in

choice cattle at Nashville. Lower
grade cattle advanced mostly $100
to $500. Hogs ranged from $500 to
$805 per hundredweight higher for
barrows and gifts, and $500 to
$500 and more higher for sows.
Good and choice fat steers and
yearlings rarely sold above $4,000
in the Georgia Florida Alabama
area. Medium grades sold from
$145O to $500. At Nashville most
sales were medium to low-good
steers and baby beeves at from
$1,000 to S21OO. AT Montgomery
good to low-choice steers and hei-
fers sold mostly from $500 to
$2100, Gamer and cutter cows $500
to $1,000.
Good and choice calves sold from
$1700 to $500 at Montgomery;
$21.00 to $500 at Nashville; and
$3.50 to $2100 in Georgia, Florida,
and Alabama.
Medium to choice butcher hogs
ranged from $4,000 to mostly $1,000

Old Time Montana Newspaperman
Sponsored Hungry Horse Dam

On hand to see the start of the
Hungry Horse dam is Hungry Horse
Kelly, veteran Montana newspaper
man, who edited the Fathead Moni-
tor for 20 years until 1914
Mr. Kelly, now retired after So
years as newspaperman, is known
as the father of the Hungry Horse
dam, and his constant support of
the project over the Est years, had
much to do with the dam entering its
Reconstruction stages.
Mr.. Kelly has believed through
the years that the dam is the key to
the industrial and agricultural devel
opment of this valley. His frequent
writings in support of the project
have stressed the industrialization
that follows low cost power, the
greater agricultural yields from ir-
rigated lands, and the improved
standard Of living for more people
in such an area.

Work Continues Despite Moratorium
Atomic Bomb !?
Nucleus Is Old
Stuff to Us

Bikini had nothing on us, for
Columbia Falls unknOwingly an
ticipated the atomic bomb by 81
years when it named its main
street "Nucleus." The nucleus is
the heart and positive charge of
every atom.
Founder Frank LangfOrd in 1891
probably wanted to get away from
such ordinary names as Main or
Center street, SO he called the
principal street Nucleus, which
meant about the same thing as
main or center. They weren't atom
conscious.
Since :. :. Alma gOrdO, Hiroshima
Nagasaki and more recently the
two Bikini tests, the nucleus is
thought of as the heart of the atom,
so we enter the atomic age with
our main streets name, now IS
years old, right in step with the
times.

The Twins of

By Hermann KeSten. Trans

Andre1o st. James and E. B.
Ashton. FISCHER, s3)
The purpose OF this long novel

report of the processes by which
the German Republic became the
Third Reich and the subsequent
process by which the Third Reich
entered its World War. Let no one
imagine, however, that the book be-
comes mere flctional history be-
cause of this subject matter. Her.
mann Kesten, for reasons unguess-
able to even practiced readers, has
used, in carrying out his formidable
political record, a sort of combina-
ton OF the techniques of the fairy
tale and the vaudeville skit. Moth
ing can exceed his lightheartedness.
He tosses his grim materials about
as gayly as if they were iridescent
soap bubbles.
The title of his book derives from
q love story in which twin girls Zone

Gabriel leave their comfortable
home and set out to make their
