' SWEET CLOVER HELPS OUT Carry-Over of Last Year's For- age Also Will Aid to Off- set Deficiency Now Livestock in North Dakota still are in very good flesh, though drouth hes caused a drying up of pastures and ranges throughout the entire state, according to the August 1) range and livestock report of the fed- eral agricultural statistician for North Dakota. However, ranges, where not overloaded. are still fur- nishing a supply of dry feed. Pas- tures in the driest sections are be- ing supplemented with some feeding end where crops are too poor to har- vest, stock are being turned in. In only a small part of the state are feed conditions so acute as likely to result | in forced marketing of livestock. The wild hay crop will be short, but grain | hay as well as a larger acreage of | sweet clover cut for forage will make up much of this deficiency aided by | a larger than average carry-over of last year's crop. i For the 17 western range states feed cn the ranges was damaged by dry weather during July, so range feed is not as good as a year ago, but livestock are generally in good condi- tion. Ranges Ranges in North Dakota are much below the July 1 condition, due to drying up. However, there is still} much dry feed available. Pastures, generally. are burned up. Stock are being fed. or have been turned into! grain fields too poor to harvest. For the western range states. gen- erally, dty, warm weather which be- gan in June has cut the supply of Tange feed in Montana, Wyoming, the western Dakotas, Oklahoma, Texas, Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Cali- fornia. Rains during July improved Fange conditions in New Mexico, Col- orado, Arizona, western Nebraska, Kansas, Utah and Nevada, but these states still have a few dry spots. Range feed is not as good as a year ago in the west, except that New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Nevada have better range feed due to dry, short range feed last year. High ranges are good, but lower and foot- hill ranges are dry. Fall and winter range feed prospects are gencraiiy fair to good.

Sheep | Sheep in North Dakota have dropped more in condition relatively than cattle, due to slow development | of lambs and slow recovery of breed- | ing ewes. However, they are still in) fair flesh. A large amount of wool is! being pooled this season, owing to low! prices offered at this time of the year. | For the range states, generally, sheep and lambs did well during July due to good feed on the high ranges. Better feed in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah helped the lambs. Generally, lambs have made good| gains after a bad start last spring. A large number of feeder lambs was contracted early and there seems to be a strong tendency to hold ewe lambs in several states. The local demand for old ewes is rather light with the possibility of a considerable movement of old ewes from the range. 1929 Lamb and Wool Crop The lamb crop for North Dakota in 1929 is estimated to be 454.000, compared with 371,000 in 1928. This increase is due, not only to an 11 per ing ewes, but also to a larger number of lambs saved per 100 ewes com- pared with 1928. For this year the number saved per 100 ewes was 104.6 compared with 95.5 in 1928. The 1929 United States lamb crop shows a de- crease of 1 per cent as compared with 1928. The estimated number of lambs saved in 1929 was 25,976,000 compared with 26,225,000 in the previous year. A decrease in the number of lambs saved per 100 ewes more than offsets a 6 per cent increase in number of breeding ewes. This decrease was largely in the western lamb states. The 1929 wool crop in North Dakota years. While the high level of con- six months may not be maintained, any falling off that may occur is not likely to be sufficient to affect lamb prices materially. An active demand for feeder lambs is expected this fall. If this demand becomes great it may carry the price of feeder lambs so below those realized last year. World wool production in 1929-30 will probably be at least as large as that of 1928-29. Demand for wool in this country is expected to be well maintained and some improvement in the demand in foreign countries may occur within the year. The long-time outlook suggests the need for caution in regard to further expansion in the sheep industry, f AT THE MOVIES | ° ° CAPITOL THEATRE Laura La Plante will be seen at the Capitol Theatre beginning Thurs- day in a dramatic talking picture entitled “Scandal.” It is based on \“The Haunted Lady.” a gripping so- ciety scandal story by Adela Rogers St. Johns which appeared in the Cos- |mopolitan Magazine. Universal has made it into a talk-film of unusual intensity, with Huntly Gordon, John Boles and Jane Winton among the ‘leading principals. The story tells how a girl of moder- ate circumstances rises above her po- jsition and marries a wealthy society jfavorite. Then comes a hand from |the past to drag her back and she finally is forced to risk her husband's respect by baring a scandalous situa- tion, or see a third party go to prison unjustly. How she faces this decision makes one of the strongest scenes ever screened. The dialogue sequences are consid- jered perfect. Miss La Plante has a wistful voice of great appeal. John Boles, former musical comedy favor- lite, is ideal as a speaking and sing- jing screen star. The others register well. Included in the cast are Eddie of 4,403,000 pounds compares with 3,984,000 pounds produced in 1928. Weight of fleeces was slightly less than in 1928. For the United States {a total of 301,866,000 pounds were shorn as compared with 299,113,000 {Pounds in 1928. Markctings and slaughter of lambs during the next ten months are ex- pected to be no larger than in the corresponding period of 1928-29, but are likely to be above those of recent | OUT OUR Way Goo!

In order that the same rates might apply in towns of similiar size, the company has filed one scries of schedules applicable in cities of 2,- 500 or more population. The next series is applicable in towns of from 800 to 2,500 and a third series in towns of 800 or less. Eleven different schedules are contained in each series, consumers being given an option as to which schedule they prefer. Class A Schedules In the class A, the residential rate is 8 1-2 cents per kwh for the first 100 kwh, and six cents per kwh thereafter, Separate schedules are provided for residential cooking and refrigeration; lighting, cooking, re- frigeration and general purposes on one circuit; commercial lighting; commercial cooking and refrigera- tion; power; industrial power and lighting and clectric signs. Provi- sion also is made for optional rates | whereby the consumer pays a fixed |charge for each room in his house but gets his electric current at a re- |duction from the standard rate. The residential cooking and re- frigeration rate. is four cents per kwh for the first 200 kwh and three cents per kwh thereafter. The combination lighting, cooking and refrigeration rate includes a room- rate charge of 25 cents each for the first five rooms and 15 cents a room thereafter, with a minimum charge of $3, but the charge for current scale. Dry, short feed in a few places | high as to reduce profits on feeding! is only four cents per kwh for the |first 150 kwh, and three cents per |kwh thereafter. Class B and C Rates In_clss B, the standard residen- tial lighting rate is nine cents per kwh for the first 100 kwh and sev- en cents per kwh for all over 100 kwh. Other schedules for class B cities have the same ratio to iliar schedules for class A ci as is indicated in the residential lighting schedule. The same ratio holds true for Class C towns, where the standard residential lighting rate is 12 1-2 cents per kwh for the first 25 kwh, nine cents each for the next 75 kwh and seven cents each per kwh there- after. Because of heavier consumption, the larger towns enjoy comparative- ly lower rates than those in other classes but in some cases the steps, or number of kilowatt hours re- quired before a lower rate is ob- tained, are different. Towns Affected by Change By placing the schedules on a pop- ulation basis, the application of the schedules becomes automatic, in so far as the power company is con- cerned, although an order of the state railroad board is required to make the rates effective for any municipality. The population of the town is determined by the last fed- eral or state census. Among towns where the new rates have recently been ordered into ef- fect by the railroad board are Aber- crombie, Arndt, Barney, Berlin, Bis- bee, Bowden, Calvin, Christine, Clyde, Cogswell, Courtenay, Daven- |port, Dazey, Doyon, Eckelson, Fin- jgal, Finley, Forman, Garske, Good- rich, Hurdsfield, McVille, Matador, Mapes, Millarton, Montpelier, Mylo, Niagara, Nome, Perth, Rolla, Rut- land, Sarles, Starkweather, St. John, Sykeston, Turtle Lake, Washburn, jand Webster. The new rates will be- ;come effective in September, both |in the class C towns mentioned and in the class B towns, which are Car- rington, Velva, Casselton, Enderlin jand Langdon. m= Devils Lake and Jamestown and By Williams | 7% LVE OVER? “WED ov vee ore The class A rates apply only to!

And talk about fun! In this long North Dakota twilight the boys are sitting around in groups, taking it easy and making their own enter- tainment. At the head of our company street a harmonica band has gathered, and are now in full swing on “Sweet- hearts on Parade.” Further to the north the air is being torn apart by the brass-lined throats of Company K, as most of its members join in the refrain of “Sweet Adeline.” Away off in the distance I can hear some senti- mental tenor warbling away at “Ra- mona.” As the sun sets over the hills across the Missouri, you just feel that old urge to sing. Even Moe Einstein tried it, but a bucket of water and a blanket over his head soon stopped him. One of the army drivers (they call them “mule-skinners”) came on the run. He said he thought one of his mules had had its throat cut. Today noon I had my first experi- ence with a mess kit. Of all the trick eating equipment, that takes the prize. When I got it open I didn't know what to do with the pieces. A soldier showed me how to put the knife, fork and spoon in my leggin top, then take the plate with a handle on it in one hand, balance the lid on the handle, take the cup by its handle in the other hand. The darn thing bit me about four times while I was getting it set. Got down the line—beans, maca- roni and potatoes in the plate (sol- dier talk—“meat can"), bread, butter, jam, cake on the lid—and then I hit trouble. When the K. P. poured coffee in my cup that darned thing turned round and round, kicked, and then dumped and unloaded like a load of wheat in a grain elevator. Tried. to srab it, and smack went the beans and the rest of it. Sergeant said I hadn't fastened the thingumabob on the cup handle. How should I know? T never saw a cup before that you had to unroll, unwind, dissect, and then screw together before you could use it. Moe said I looked lke “Ricco-Ricco, |the world’s famous chuggler.” Jim laughed so hard he spilled his own assortment of tinware all over. The worst of it was, I had to go back to the end of the line and wait my turn for refilling. You bet I had the gadg- ets all tight that time, because—well, you know how I am about my chow.

O14 exciama- to carriers —\ ;, THIS HAS HAPPENED MOLLY BURNHAM, a pretty and clever girl reporter, has ridden over- night to fame. From her own news- paper experiences, Molly has writ- ten a play called “The Death of Del- phine Darrows.” It is the opening night, and Molly is wearing a gown of stiff green |atuff, frosted with pearls, that makes her look like a medieval princess. In the front row, JACK WELLS, her sweetheart, sits behind her father and mother. Back stage, is RED FLYNN, a police court man, who suggested the plot of the play. “Author! Author!” shouted the audience. “Speech! Speech!” Then Red Flynn took Molly by the hand, and dragged her across the stage, to face the plaudits of a Broadway audience.

Speech!” But Red shook his head, and looked unutterably uncomfortable. And when Molly dropped his hand he ran off like a small boy. But the audience liked that and called for him again and again. Then Francesca Glascow, with her arms full of white orchids, made a studied speech. Miss Glascow had had curtain calls before, and so she did it very well indeed. When she was through, they called for the producer. se All in all it was a very large eve- ning. There is not apt to be an- other like it in Broadway-annals for @ long, long time. After the performance Mr. Dur- bin was giving a supper party for Molly. He had invited her parents, and included Jack, at her suggestion. Red Flynn was to be there, and the Bi stars of the play. There were also to be a few newspaper ple, and some friends of Mr. Durbin’s. Molly had asked Jack to bring her father and mother back after the play. Now she waited for them eagerly. She wished her father had worn evening clothes, and that her moth- er at least bought a new wrap. father—not if he wore overalls. His speech was colloquial, and he looked exactly like what he was. A bit un- tutored perhaps, and unpolished. He even made grammatical mistakes, though he really knew better. Quite the sort of man smart novelists poke fun at. But Molly loved him with all her heart. Molly’s mother was better edu- cated than her . She had been to normal school, and studied elocution and piano. it was why it annoyed Molly to have her wear little white net guimpes under her dresses.

Aren't you proud of your little old Molly-0? Wasn't it heavenly, Mother? Jack? Aren't you all proud of your Molly?” She flung herself on Jack. They were perfectly lovely. 1 know I spilled them.

I don’t under- stand, Mother.” “Oh, you understand, young lady,” interposed her sterner parent frigidly. “The way your poor father and I brought you up! Decent, God-fear- ing folks .... Molly, I don't know what's come over you.” “Now, Mother,” repeated Mr. Burn- ham, “that’s no way to talk to Molly.” He put his arms around his daugh- ter, and held her tightly. “Your mother’s a little mite up- set, Molly-O,” he said. We're old- fashioned, you know—me and your mother. And your mother’s not so young as she used to be....” “ *Young’!’ cried Mrs. Burnham. “I'd like to know what ‘young’ has to do with it.
