a Gentleman From Mississippi'

"a Gentleman From Mississippi"
a comedy that has made a new record
IN annals OF long theatrical runs, will
De shown for the first time ut the
Babcock Theatre, Billings, Monday
evening August %. 1t is the work of
Harrison Rhodes. the American nov
ellst and playwright, and Thomas A.
Wise, the actor, and is tile first sue
cessfnl play Of Washington official
and social life to be staged since .'The
Senator and "A Texas Steer in
1890. Moreover. it has been described
by all the New York city newspapers
and the leading magazines and other
periodicals as 1.-The best American
comedy since 1.-The Senator" But it
is something more than that. "The
Senator was merry and very ANUS
ing comedy: but it lacked any special
appeal not contained in nine of every
ten plays that succeed with the
AMERICAN public: "A Gentleman
From Mississippi" is different in this
respect; and III many other respects,
as we'll. Its dominant note is its
tiag-waving hip-hip-hooray American
Of generation ago, b" t' the Am p'sHs
canism that shows a high ideal of life
and conduct displayed in seemly and
logical manner. 1T is a play" wrote

"A Gentleman from Mississippi"

THE TOLL OF LIGHTNING.

That the United States pays Il heavy
tribute each year to the electricity OF
nature is shown by a recent depart
ment of agriculture bulletin, of which
Prof. Henry of the weather bureau.
is the author. OF an average, up-
ward of 500 persons are killed annu-
ally by lightning, twice rs many are
injured, and the property loss runs
well into the millions OF dollars.
For some cause for which scientists
have several explanations, nature lev
les this toll chiefly on the rural dis
tricts-the cities, in the main, escap-
ing the lethal fluid from the skies.
Prof. Henry deals instructively with
the subject, and in explaining what
lightning is and how the farmers of
the country may better protect them
selves and their buildings. he gives
an interesting elementry discussion
of electricity, conductors and nom
conductors, positive and negative
electritication, and electricity in thun-
derstOrms.
The exegesis of Prof. Henry's trea-
tise, however. is that the lightning
rod adequately protects life and pro-
perty. This simple arrangement is
very much moderated, no doubt be-
cause of the opprobrium that, not
very many years ago, fell upon the
lightning rod agents. many of whom
by tactics that not always were hon.
est. mulcted the farmers in all Sec
tions Of the country. But, as Prof.
Henry says, there is no necessity of
purchasing specially manufactured
rods at high prices. "The only es-
sentials," he points out, "are a sutfi-
cient amount of galvanized iron
staples to hold the wire in place, a
requisite number of connecting tees,
and enough aluminium paint to cover
the rod and it's fastenings. While
iron is not so good a conductor as
copper, it is thought to be more de-
sirable-tirst, because it is less likely
to cause dangerous side flashes, while
it dissipates the energy Of the light
ming more effectively than does cop
per, and, secondly, it is not nearly SO
expensive as copper"
In his bulletin Prof. Henry illus
trates and explains the best methods
Of erecting the rods. Free copies of
the bulletin may be had of the depart
ment of agriculture.

THE SLAYER WINS.

Today there are thousands of farm
ers in Illinois. Iowa. Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin who are enjoying all
of the comforts and many of the luz
uries of life simply because they had
the foresight to get hold of land in
those states when it was cheap and
hold on to it until the natural in
crease in values made them wealthy.
says the Fergus County Democrat.
This increase in land values has add
ed billions to the wealth of those
states. What has happened in the
older states of the Mississippi valley
is going to happen to Montana within
the next two decades. Land which
IS now worth from fifteen to thirty
dollars per acre will then be worth
three. four and five times that money.
Rallrhing has its vicissitudes. There
are dry years and wet years: cold
years and hot years. There are times
when hail will undo in two minutes
the '"hors Of a twelve months. But
L" occupation is immune from the
same risks. But. withal, the man
WI" owns piece Of dirt is the fortu-
nate one. His work is hard but
usually healthy. lie is spared the
nerve raching fear of being put out of
business by his competitor just across
The coulee. He escapes. to Il great
degree. the tremendous pressure I'M
der which the average city business
man constantly works. He is less in
the way Of temptations which are
ruiIons t" body. mind and to bust
ness. In fewer instances is he lead
into the ways Of extravaganza. And,
too. while he works, the crowding
horde OF the land hungry are working
for him. adding yearly to the market
value OF his holdings. Thus after a
few years have passed, when the sun
of his life has crossed it's horizon and
he enjOyes a surcease from the labors
in field and forest, he finds that he
has indeed labOred better than he
knew and that there is a demand for
his we'll titled acres. Within a decade.
the natural increase in the value of
the agricultural lands Of Fergus
county will double or treble the
assessed valuation returned this year.
Fortunate is the man who owns land
in this great Judith Basin for he has
Il heritage which means independence
during his working years and the
enjoyment Ut ease and comfort in his
declining days.

and international affairs has a fine
bill of fare for his digestion in all
this. Is it condition of the atmO-
sphere, or strange development of
human evolution, or the result of the
wriggling of some germ whose char
acteristic is not yet understood by
scientists? These simultaneous in
spiratiOnsare decidedly peculiar. Ac-
cepting the Darwinian theory that
evolution is always upward and never
downward, let us hope that these
tempest in the earth's teapot will
make for good. But the synchronous
quality OF the spectacle must excite
the curiosity Of the analytic. Call
it an emotion, but why the simultane-
Gus emotion?
The philosopher Ploinus said of
love that after long years of study he
knew not whether it was a within Of
the mind, an emotion of the soul, Il
distraction Of the nerves, or an in
sanity that ought to be curbed. The
process of evolution which becomes
manifest in that form called revoll-
ticn is quite as inexplicable when Sc
gregations having not the least bond
of sympathy, break forth into vio-
lence almost i'll the same day.

predict great future for the industry.

to Pennsylvania to supply the beef,

that of Illinois to supply the grain,
vegetables, fruit and hay. Montana

Pertinent Paragraphs

The chicken is ut the head of the
class as money maker.
The market calls for quantity now,
There is not murmur about quality,
The public is willing to pay so to so
cents for chickens that are two or three
months old, and would take them by

Land producing a crop of greater
value than the land is the story Mon

The best winter wheat to SOW is
conceded to be Turkey Red, and our
formula saws, put it four inches in
the ground, but the season may gov
ern this to some extent.
1t frequently happens in Montana
that the crop of a single year produced
on land sells for more than the land
will. This was the case in 1907. and it
is the case this year. Recently a Sun
river farm sold for $45 per acre, and

MONTANA'S GREATNESS.

From Prof. Elrod's address before
the Montana Academy of Slences.
Arts and Letters, we take the follow
ing. which will be of interest to all
loyal Montanans as we'll as others:
The state OF Montana. the state of
grand mountains. whose snow-clad
SUBMITS pierce the clouds: and whose
hidden treasures are of untold rich
ness: the state OF blue sky. clear sun
shine. pure air and crystal water:
the state rich in mineral wealth, rich
in timber resources. and with great
possibilities for agriculture: the state
with beautiful lakes. foaming rivers
whose waters teen with the tinny
tribe and with broad and fertile val
leys rapidly filling with happy and
prosperous people: the state in which
are raised the finest and tleptest horses
OF the world: the state with it's five
millions Of sheep. its three quarters
of million Of cattle, it's one fifth Of
million OF horses: the state whose
annual production Of gold is five
million of dollars, of silver twenty
million. lead sixteen million pounds,
copper Il quarter of million pounds,
two million tons Of coal, a half million
dollars in stone, half million dollars
in brick and clay products: the state
with it's two million of fruit trees,
already producing a quarter of a
million boxes of apples: it's one and a
quarter million tons of hay, and near
ly ten million bushels Of grain; the
state with its three thousand miles Of
railroads, it's $1,000 square miles of
forests, with a saw mill product of
nearly two millions of dollars, an
nnally; and yet the state is in it's
infancy. Its resources are barely
known, and many are practically un-
touched.
1.-The state has within it's borders
appro Nimately ninety-four million
acres OF land. Of this amount twenty
six millions of acres are classed as
mountain lands, thirty millions as
farming lands, and thirty EIGHT mil
lions us grazing lands. This is APP
proNimately 10000 square miles OF
mountains, M.MW square miles of
farming lands and 56, 600 square miles
of grazing country. TO put it in an
other way, the mountain area of the
state is about equal to the entire area
OF either Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia.
Ohio or Tennessee. Its grazing lands
are more than the total area of either
Pennsylvania, Louisiana, Mississippi,
New York OF North Carolina. Its
farming land is as much as the entire
state of Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois,
Michigan or Georgia.
I'VE have state with a mountain
area Of that of all Tennessee, a graz.
ing area equal to all the area of Penn
sylvania or New York, and farms left
to cover the states of Illinois or Iowa.
The mineral wealth of this state of
mountains is as yet unknown and new
prospects open daily. The grazing
possibilities are being greatly increas-
ell in the grazing section, and even
much of the mountainous country has
abundant and rich feed in summer.
The agricultural region is not yet

horses stand to full managers when not
at work. But in London the cad
horses for example, are given hay for
but two hours day, in the evening.
At the end of two hours the managers
are cleared. Careful testing in de-
cleasing the timothy hay ration ONE
half has not shown that the horses re-
quired any more grain than before to
keep them in equally good condition.
Horses do not need a heavy ration
OF alfalfa hay. Fed with grain prod
ably ten or fifteen pounds of it is
equal to a manager full of other hay.
AS they become accustomed to the
alfalfa it may be increased a little
and the grain decreased. 1t is a rich
food and should not be used as freely
as hays with less protein.-From Co.
