Harvest. Operations
Expected To
Return To Normal

A trickle of beets began
coming in to the Holly Sugar
corporations Hardin factory
yesterday wednesday, follow
ing a snowstorm which struck
here beginning October IL, de-
posting 1.39 inches of preeipi-
tation before skies cleared and
beet fields began drying to
permit farmers to resume har-
vesting operations.
The agricultural department
of the Hardin factory reported
a small number of beetS arriv-
ing at the factory Wednesday
from the area north of Hardin.
1t is expected that many
beetgrowers will attempt to get
into fields today to begin COM
pletion of the harvest which
was "a per cent complete when
the storm struck. The factory
agricultural department said
operations should be in full
swing in the area north of
Hardin, but that another day
or more may be needed for
fields to dry sufficiently in the
south Hardin area where
slightly more moisture fell.
If weather conditions remain
favorable, another two or
three weeks should see the har-
vest in this area practically
completed. Beet labor is report
ed adequate for a rapid COM
pletion of the task as soon as
weather permits.

Report Says Kucherd Will Be Candidate
For u. s. Representative In 1850

Lincoln, both Republicans, have
other things in common?
The Hardin furniture mer-
chant thinks so.
"Abe Lincoln ran for office
eight times and always took it
on the chin, before he finally
won on the ninth try" Kuchera
told the Daily News.
81, too, have been defeated
for office eight times in a row,
but like Lincoln I expect TO win
in my ninth try. And I will be
making try number nine next
summer when 7 run for Cong
reSS.
arWhen I was beaten for may
or in Hardin this spring, it
didn't matter. I was just stay
ing in condition for the COVER
nor's race in 1852 Kuchera
was defeated for governor in
the COP primary last summer,
and announced right after the
election that he would try again
in four years..
aBut this time I mean bust
ness, and will carry out an ag-
gressive campaign which will
take me into every county IN
Montana's eastern district.

friendly level, though, SO that

high school gymnasium, when
the Hardin Parent-Teacher as
ISOLATION sponsored a reception
for teachers of the local schools.
Richard Fox, president of the
association, gave an address OF
welcome to the faculty MEM
bers and the response was Civ
en- by E. A. Skeie, superinten-
dent of district Nc. It'll.
Skeie introduced the princi-
pals of the various schools, who
in turn introduced the faculty
members. The program, under
the direction of Miss Ethel
SchuSter, vocal instructor in
the Hardin school, included
clever skits by both teachers
and parents, and musical mem
bers by instrumental and vo-
cal ensembles and solos by high

Second Suit Filed
To Rule Out y
Gas Rate Increase

: Another attempt to rule out
recently, approved natural gas
rate increases for eastern Mon
tana has been filed in district
court at Glasgow it has been
learned here.
The first suit against the
state public service commission
and the Montana Dakota Util-
tiles company was filed in Miles
City district court. The COM
plant against the same defen-
dants at Glasgow was filed by
M. A. Wright, Glasgow, presi-
dent of the Northeast Montana
Gas & Electric Consumers as
ISOLATION.
Wright said the commission
granted gas rate increases bas-
ed on value of property not in
existence at the time of the
hearing. He said the property
will not come into existence
if at all-until five years from
now. He added that consumers
did now have a full opportunity
to protest at hearings held by the
commission.
Montana Dakota said it need
ed more money to finance a
proposed 340-mile pipe line
from a new gas field near
Worland, Wyo., to its fields
near Baker. With the new sup
ply, the firm said, it could ex-
tend its lines to eastern Mon
tana towns which don't have
gas and improve service else
where.
The proposed line would bring
service to Hardin from the Wor-
land fields. A franchise was
granted to Montana-Dakota at
a special election here last Sep
TENDER.

Hardin Bulldogs viii Vie For State
Southern Division B Championship
With Central Rams In Billings Saturday
Come Is Scheduled at
DoYlis Stadium
AT 8 O'clock P. NJ

Hardin high school Bulldogs
will vie for southern division
championship honors next Sat
urday night when they meet
the Rams of Central high
school at Daylis stadium in
Billings. ...
The game was originally
scheduled as a regular season
game, but since Central and
Hardin have won the titles of
their respective districts the
game has been dubbed the
Southern Montana class B di-
visional championship. - e.
The decision was made by
Professor Walter T. Scott of
Butte, state high school football
director, after both schools had
petitioned for the arrangement
to eliminate having to play two
games.
Both teams are unbeaten in
play this season and the
championship game is expected
to be the crucial test, since
neither squad has had a diff
cult schedule in district play.
The Bulldogs won their dis
trict title with a 400 win over
Roundup and defeating Hunt
ley Project, Worden, by a 10
Is score.
Central has wins over Har-
1oWton and Big Timber in their
district. A game between Col
umbus and Central was called
off due to adverse weather.

Ii. E. Painter, local manager,
Montana Power company, dis
plays "the bird that threw the
switch last Sunday afternoon,
causing a three-hour power
shutoff in Hardin and vicinity.
The bird, a golden eagle with
a 61a-foot wing spread, was
found about 6k miles west of
Hardin hanging from the pow
er line with one wing flopped
against a ground wire dome to
a crisp" SO to speak. The huge
talons of the birds left leg
firmly grasped the wire in a
death grip.
According to Painter, birds
frequently are killed while
perching on the power lines but
usually drop to the ground
when struck by the voltage.
Only once before does he recall
a bird becoming grounded and
lodged in the wires causing a
power shutoff for any length
of time. .

RippHng
Of The Rivers

We're not sure who originated
it, but the idea of a planned
program of entertainment for
the young people of the town
on Halloween evening is a good
one we believe.
For the second consecutive
year the program is being car
ried out here with a dance and
other entertainment at the
senior high school recreation
room. In addition, the members
Of Hardin high school football
squad have been deputized and
will assist the city police to min
imize the damage from playful
antics of youngsters-and not
so-youngSters-during the an
nual evening for organized de-
Vilment.
Last years event was one of
the quietest on record in the
city. The turnover and carry
away was hardly noticeable the
following morning. Those re-
suits, we believe, can be attribu-
ted directly to the city and
school sponsored program.

POem. ~ ~
No wonder the little duckling
Wore upon his face a frown,
For he had just discovered
That his first pair of pants
were down. +
Farmers and business men in
this area had a new lease on
life this week when favorable
harvesting weather returned
following the unseasonal snow
which fell last week.
Many long faces were observ-
ed about the city during the
past week when the possibility
of winter closing in faced beet
farmers who had little more
than half the total beet ton
mage out of the ground. OF
course the harvest is not COM
plete yet, but the weather of
the past few DAYS puts a IA
vorable slant on the situation.
An unsuccessful beet harvest
could have serious repercussions
in this community where the
livelihood of a goodly percent
age OF citizens depends upon
their production.
Yes, the weather today is
good for beet harvest-and foot
ball. We hope it continues.
