Will Work Against Prohibition.
Special TO the World.

Special 10 the WOElu.
San Francisco, April 20.-Mr. J.
Frank Moroney, chairman of the
California branch of the National
Model License League, announces
that the trade convention of all of
the wine and spirit interests of the
Pacific coast, which was to have been
held in San Francisco, May 10, has
been postponed to May IT. The
change in date is due to the fact
that the time originally selected con-
flicts with other conventions to be
held in San Francisco.
The object of the convention is to
for mthe coast trade into a gigantic
organization that will work in con
cert against prohibition and in favor
of the proper regulation of the liquor
business on the coast.
Mr.. Moroney has been an ardent
advocate of model license since the
national organization formulated res
trictive laws and he is convinced that
all that is required to preserve the
wine and spirit interests of the coast
is united action on the part of the
trade in favor of all measures that
will guarantee obedience to law and
respect for public sentiment.
At the convention the national
body will be represented by Capt. D
NJ. Smith, general counsel of the lea
que, who will deliver an address on
the legal and political phases of the
liquor problem.

WILL INCREASE
ACREAGE

Hardin, Montana, July 29th.-(Spe-
cial. .)-Farmers thruout this district
are preparing to increase their grain
acreage for next year as the result of
the remarkable success with wheat,
oats, corn and other crops on the dry
farms in the vicinity of Hardin.
Harvesting has been commenced and
it is the opinion of many of the farm
ers that the yield in the dry farm Sec
tions will run 25 to 35 bushels an acre
for wheat. Many settlers have been
attracted to the bench lands by the
magnificent showing of those who
have crops this year and who have
demonstrated beyond doubt that dry
farming is profitable on the bench
lands of Montana. The influx of set
tiers indicates that before another
year has closed there will be little
government land remaining unlocat-
ed in this part of the State.
Early sown barley and rye is out
of danger and promises a satisfac-
tory yield. The oa1 crop is expected
to be short in some instances on ac-
count, it is said, of late planting.
However, the harvest of this grain
will prove that it can be grown here
successfully.
The farmers on the bench lands are
interested in the Dry Farming Con-
gress which will hold it's fourth ses
sion at Billings, Montana, October
1928, 1909, and will be represented
with exhibits at the International
Exposition of Dry Farm Products
at Billings, October 25-29.
