Moving Pictures To Demonstrate

Billings, April 15.-Through the
instrumentality Of moving pictures
taken under the direction Of the de-
partment Of agriculture. visitors at
the coming Good Roads" convention
will be shown how Uncle Sam builds
highways in various parts Of the coun-
try. Learning that the department
had secured number Of films which
show work in progress in its various
stages, the local good roads committee
has taken the matter up with view
of getting number of them sent to
Billings, where they will be shown
during the meeting.
Convicts, clad in the regulation
stripes and working assiduously on
a Virginia highway, IS one Of the
scenes portrayed, and another taken in
one Of the western states which be
lieves not in convict labor shows en-
terprising farmers at the task, to the
improvement Of the roads and the
great benefit Of the commonwealth.
Views along postal routes; wagons
stuck ii the mud; mail hours behind
time; farmers virtually marooned on
account OF them, and unable to get to
market, will reveal most graphically
to delegates and visitors the import
ance Of improved highways in the
Treasure state.
Another set Of films will bring home
to the spectators the other side Of
the story, where the wagons Of the
husbandman, heaped high with the
products Of his toll are being trans
ported to market over roads that are
apparently as smooth and as firm as
macadam, demonstrating at a glance
how the feature Of expense Of getting
to market IS materially decreased,
while the tourist travel, one Of the
things courted ii the western states,
Is revealed by the big JOY wagons

ties on animal husbandry will be Of
fered for the instruction Of those
who may attend the show. One ex-
cellent feature Of this show is found
in the system Of having the judges
give their reasons for placing ami
mails and awarding prizes. These
little lectures by the judges are full
of valuable information for the ex-
hibitor and farmer, and it is infor-
nation that is rarely obtained at
any show.
The farmers and feeders Of the
Northwest can we'll afford to fit ami
mails for this show, and the expert
ence Of those who have been exhibi-
tors in the past shows a very hand
some net profit as the prices at
which the stock has sold, and the
cash prizes won, make excellent re-
turns for the feed consumed in fit
ting the animals for the show, in
spite of the fact that ever since the
show was started the price Of feed
has been high.
Tt is not necessary for a farmer to
be professional exhibitor in order
to win money at this show, and this
opportunity for farmers and feeders
to increase the knowledge Of what
is necessary to make good market
types Of animals should not be over
looked.
The preminm list and anything
concerning the show may be had by
persons addressing the NorthWes-
tern Live Stock Association at South

TINE
ON MAY II
Norwegians Of the State Will Celebrate Their
National Holiday in Fitting Manner.

The Monitor is requested to give
publicity to the fact that all Nor
Wegians in the state of Montana and
adjacent territory are requested to
be in GlendiVe on May Ii when a roy
al celebration of Norway's national
holiday will be held, the same as in
every other state Of the union.
This day is never forgotten by
those Norsenen absent from the
fatherland. This year the pro-
ceeds Of the celebration in Glendive
will be devoted to the great million
dollar memorial fund, which the
NorWegians of this country have
undertaken to raise during the next
four years.
The president Of this national me-
mortal association is Senator S. O..
Thorpe Of Willmar, Mimi, father of
the Rev. C. S. Thorpe Of this city.
Vice presidents have been appointed
for every state and territory, and
the honor for Montana has fallen to
Attorney Jens Rivenes of Glendive.
He will actively assist the Norwe-
g,ian Young Peoples society of the
Gate City, under whose auspices the
Forthcoming celebration will be
held.
This million-dollar memorial fund
will be devoted to great purposes.
The gross amount will be held in
/ tact as a perpetual fund. The inte-
rest thereof to the amount Of one
| fourth will be used for the compile
ton of the Trondhjem cathedral I'M
til it is finished. The remainder of
the interest will be devoted annual
" to stipends for paying the expen-
ses Of NorWegians studying in
America and Americans pursuing

Master OF His Fate

Following is the poem tInvictus, =
BY w. E. Henley, which Charles W.
Morse learned in the Tombs, and
which he took with him into the
Federal Penitentiary at Atlanta:
aOut of the night that covers me
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods there be
For my unconquerable soul.
IN the fell clutch Of circumstance
| have not WINGED or cried aloud;
Under the bludgeonings Of fate
NV head IS bloody but unboWed.
It matters not how straight the
gate,
How charged with punishment

| am the master Of my fate,
| am the captain Of my soul. =

travelling for pleasure. Both are good
indications.
All over the east we hear the most
favorable reports of the Northwestern
states, and the town and country dis
trlcts are attracting the attention not
only Of prospective homeseekers but
capitalists as we'll. Much interest has
been aroused in the fruit industry in
the irrigated belts as we'll as in min
ing, numbering, stock raising and 9TH
er forms of agriculture, and there is
every indication that the four states
will receive hundreds of thousands of
new settlers during the next two or
three years.
The possibility Of logged-of lands
in the Northwestern states cannot be
everestimated after one has seen the
country, and | am told there are thou
sands Of acres Of other lands that
could be brought under irrigation or
cultivated BY dry farming methods,
which have been highly successful in
the semi-arid districts. A soon as
these facts become known there will
be a great influx

Project Creates Great Interest

Judging from the widespread inte-
rest displayed by people all over the

First impressions of new country
are always lasting 1t will be greatly
to the advantage Of the present set

attracting a desirable class Of people

Suggestions az to Grange Funds That

Dean L. II. Bailey Of Cornell Agri-

the labor problem is not peculiar 70

United States. II Ia most serious 10
regions where there Ii the most I'M
employed population. 1t Is found 10
the south with the colored laborers %
well as In the north. II is due to the
% assage Of slavery and serfdom and
to the rise of the working classes out
Of their subjugation and also to the
greater amount and variety OF WORK
In the world. The rise OF gang work
or organized labor has also much 10
do with 1t. Men and women are In
clined TO 70 where there Is something
doing" from stationary to moving oc.
cupations. Labor has felt this move
ment, and 1t has been natural and In
eyItable that farms should have felt
tho effects of It, Cities and Industrial

out this class Of laborers. In farming
