area last wednesday, night,
in a storm which broke at
about $3.50 p. M, according to
reports from the weather
station of Holly Sugar Corp,
Hardin.
A small amount of hail
again fell in Hardin, and it
is believed that outlying
areas may have experienced
serious damage from hail,
but reports were not available

Including last nights storm,
a total of 2.18 inches of rain

area since May 80, or ap-
pr0ximately half of the 4.39

Although some damage has
been reported from hail, the
rain was exceedingly timely,
since crops and especially
range lands had been suffer-
ing greatly from lack of rain.

RippHng
of the Rivers

Harvey Warren won the jun
ior fishermen's contest spon-
sored by Big Horn Dairy, with
his catch of a 3A-lb. cat fish
from the Little Big Horn river,
but a girl showed the boys up
when she won second place in
the contest.
Laura Mae Shepard, 10, of
Lodge Grass entered a 1M-lb.
trout taken from Lodge Grass
creek, to entitle her to second
prize. Delmar Ganske placed
third with a 2R-lb. cat fish,
which he caught in the Little
Big Horn river.
However, the contest turned
out to be one in which there
were no losers. Three prizes
were offered and only three
eligible fishermen entered the
competition.
We estimate that $50 of the
young fishermen of this area
for some reason neglected to
enter a catch in the contest,
winch closed May 81.
A small boy came home from

And the youngSter replied:
"At Sunday school. They have
bowls of it,.

Talking about the election re-
minds me of what happened in
one of our local clubs years ago.
The president was a kindly, hard
working person, but bit self
centered and emotional. She had
held the presidency for sometime,
and even she felt that it was time
for a change.
At the annual meeting splendid
reports were made, and every
body was happy. The president
declared that she had served long,
too long, thanked the officers and
members for their cooperation and
the kind words spoken of her,
then requested that they should
please her by getting another
president, and letting the thing
go round"
In the election they granted her
request. What a night! What a
comedy of error! Or was it a near
tragedy? She had them told in
words that are not printable, and,
like the Arabs, they quietly stole
away.
