The farther south and eist you go, the fewer furrows you can discern in what was plowed wheatland a short week ago. You can drive 100 miles east of here and sec little sign of the disastrous dust storm of last week and the blow Monday that added insult to injury. But once into Hugo, the Lin coln County seat, you know the dust has been there. This is what I saw when I made a trip into the area: Just a few miles to the south and the world turned gray. A few hundred yards off main Highway 109 on section-like road you could see the first bit ter evidence. - It looked curiously like an ocean beach with a few weeds rising above the wind-sculptured sand. There was moisture be neath it Broken cedar fence posts looked like driftwood.

Jazz Players Dope Addicts NEW YORK (UP) Variety, the show business weekly, said yesterday that narcotics addic tion is so prevalent among younger jazz musicians today that it is virtually impossible to or ganize a jazz band without in cluding "a complement of reefer addicts or worse." Reefers are marijuana cigar ettes. The newspaper said band man agers were unable to make ad vance bookings because they could not tell what state their musicians might be in. It said one "topflight jazzman recently had to turn down a $2,000 date for a week in Las Vegas be cause the other three members of his quartet were flying too high on the stuff at tht time." Variety said in some instances' operators of jazz clubs and mi nor recording firms were prof iting on the addiction of musi cians by paying them under un ion scale and supplementing their wager with "the junk" slang for any kind of narcotics. American Indians have proved adept in smoke jumping jump ing by parachute to fight forest fires. Auto Dealers Get Warning DETROIT tfl Henry Ford XI, president of the Ford Motor Co., and Harlow H.
