To help finance the planned construction, an intensive fund drive has been planned among Grange members. Clyde King, Sr., heads a committee which will seek to get in touch with every one of the organizations 150 members, to solicit a loan. The funds committee will ask that each Grange member make a per sonal loan of $20 to the organiza- ton, in order that the basement work can go ahead with all pos sible speed.
 Loans will be repaid in chrono- logical order, as the Grange be- gins to realize rental returns from it's completed structure.

with more details but with those
left for the audiences own dis
covery you can be sure that Actor
Newton has a fine time.
He not only toys quietly with
the man whose body he is pre-
pairing to dissolve, but also with
his somewhat wretched wife who
knows he is up to something ex-
citing and wishes she were in on
it. and the Scotland Yard super
intendent who finally gets into the
case looking for missing small
dog.
The crime hunter and the crime
planner. the former played by
Maunton Wayne. another good
actor have high old time going
into the history and philosophy of
murder. AS quite scholarly types
always are, they both would rather
talk their favorite subject than do
anything about it and this proves
quite a diverting feature of "The

ment and suspense and in this
respect it is modestly successful.
Its major merit it owes to Rob-
ert Newton IN the role of the
mental doctor who gets so sick of
his wife's promiscuity that he de-
cides to do away with the first of
her lovers he can trap. Newton is
an actor with quite a firm grasp
upon the intricate architecture of
artful murder and no man could
make a more professional job of
handling the case recounted here.
The picture is hardly so compe-
tent in its direction by Edward
Dmytryk. a sort Of Hollywood
refugee. Dymtryk rather spoils the
effects of his otherwise sound
touch by underscoring the climac-
tic clue with such vehemence that
his picture is over before it is end
ed. This business of having the
audience capture the culprit be-
fore Scotland Yard makes it's
move seems somehow misdirected
in it's flattery.
After all people have got to be-
lieve in something and Scotland
Yard has been rather reliable until
'"The Hidden Room"
X \ X
The mood of the Dupont melo-
drama is quiet and makes frequent
resort to comedy, some of the
best of the latter embraced in the
character of the wife who is not
worth the next day of any mans
life. She gets all the days of sew
eral months, actually, for this is
one OF those slow, stalking mur-
der projects which moves in a
tight little area.
The story begins in the psy-
chiatrist's living room early one
morning when he steps from be-
hind drapery to confront his
wife and her latest paramour.
"Confront" is rather a mild word
since the medical man has a gun
and makes it quite clear that this
is the lover who is not going to
get away.
Apparently having thought the
thing over for several years
which surely implies a maximum
OF patience on the part of any
man-the doctor has what he
thinks is detection-proof plan.
At the first intimation of it,
you are inclined to agree with
him.
The scheme involves taking the
fellow into q hidden room under
a bomb-ruined residential area.
Once here, the doctor chains his
victim to corner where he has
the range of a dirty, uncomfort-
able bed, and a small adjoining
bathroom.
The doctors idea is that he will
keep his victim here until the
police, never finding the body or
any other clue really, simply de-
eide that the missing man had
reason to drop out of sight. In
the meantime, the doctor comes
nightly with a thermos of coffee,
a few sandwiches, and some rather
humorous conversation about how
he is going to dispose of the body
so it will not leave a trace.
This is connected with a hot
water bottle full of a liquid that
he brings along on each trip and
which he pours ominously, one
bottle night, into a bathtub
safely out Of the reach Of the
chained man.

female, also from the Shane herd,
sold under the hammer of Auc-
$foneer Charlie Corkle at $500 to
c. E. & Paul MCGEE, Bridgeport,
Neb.
Show-side kibitzers affirmed that
the quality of the 1850 Polled show
was higher than in past years, and
the buyers apparently agreed, for
the average of the bull selling was
boosted Some $155 over bulls of the
same age selling in previous sales.
Biggest bargains were probably
in the herd bull prospect section of
the sale, and half-dozen real pros
poets went at little more than strong
range bull prices. Fred Rusher, Glas-
gov, was buyer of one of these
prospects, a Podolak bred bull, and
a half brother to the champion fe-
male and the reserve champion bull,
at LOO.
The sale was the seventh held by
the Tri-State Polled Hereford Assn.
1t commemorated so years of Polled
Hereford progress in the United
States. Chuck Cook, Alliance, Neb.,
was the sale manager. The sale was
held Nov. 1913.

"A study of this data" Johnson
says, "leads to the general conclusion
that the browse plants, with their
higher protein and phosphorus con-
tent, balance the nutritive require
ments lacking in the cured grass"
Going on this assumption, the ex-
tension range specialist is urging
stockmen and county agents to ex-
anime the winter ranges closely to
find out what browse plants they
contain. "Such plants are green gold
on our open winter ranges" he said.

fact that some winter ranges are
superior to others in providing the
nutritional qualities that keep cattle
and sheep thrifty during the winter
months. These good winter ranges
are commonly called strong" ranges
and Montana has acquired reputa-
ton for having winter forage of
nutritional value equal to that of
good haystacks.
But what makes these "strong"
ranges so much better than others?
Is it the kinds and quality of the
grass, or the amount of grass? Or
is it something else?
Ray G. Johnson, range specialist
for the Montana Extension service,
believes that the answer to strong"
winter range lies in the browse
Enthusiastically winterfat and salt
sage. These plants, he thinks, de-
serve more credit for making
strong" winter range than they
have been given these many years.
Palatable Browse
Dozens of ranchers, speaking
from their long experience" he said,
Cannot be wrong on this point of
strong winter range, and it is more
than of passing interest to note that
sh areas Of strong winter range
observed this year by persons in
terested in the problem have con-
tanned fair to good stands of palat-
able browse. These plants are the
extra good kinds with winterfat and
salt sage predominating, yet most
of the good ones of the west have
also been found.
"A little study of the nutritional
values of the common range grasses
and of the browse plants provides
some facts that point directly to the
importance of browse in making
strong winter range" Johnson says.
Grasses Deficient
While no systematic study has
range grasses common to Montana,
the Dominion Experiment station at
Manyberries, Alberta, Canada, just
north of Havre, has made studies of
grasses that would be representative
of northern and eastern Montana.
And in looking for the answer to
what makes some ranges strong,
johnson points out that the impor-
tant thing is the nutritional value
