DRY FARMING EXHIBIT WILL Be
FEATURE MONTANA STATE FAIR

ment. Indeed, the pessimists are GER
tain to receive a severe shock upon
viewing the products of Montana dry
farms this year that perforce must sill
ence all criticism in the future.
TO James j. Hill, chairman of the
board of directors of the Great North
ern Railway company, and one of
Montana's greatest dry farming boost
erS, the fair management feels itself
under many obligations for his address
of last year in which he stated in the
presence of the president of the Unit
ed States that the agricultural future
of Montana was unlimited; in fact,
that it was already producing larger
crops and of better quality than any
state in the Union. This tribute has
worked wonders in the way of inviting
new settlers to Montana and will
doubtless continue so to act for years
to come
The Western news., 1910-08-26

Helena, Aug 22.-Practically every
thing is in readiness for the eighth
Montana state fair to be held in this
city September 26 to October l, in
elusive, and it is no exaggeration to
state that in every respect it will be
greater and grander than ever Not
only have the grounds been enlarged
and beautified, but several new build
1ngs have been erected so that every
department will have ample display
room for all exhibits, which has been
defect in the past.
This has been accomplished in large
measure by the erection OF sepa-
rate mineral building, thus permitting
one of the chief industries of the state
an opportunity to make proper display
instead of being given small section
OF the agricultural building. At the
same time this arrangement will give
the opportunity for display to ad-
vantage of all the agricultural resour-
ces of the state. the entire main floor
of the largest structure on the grounds
being devoted exclusively to this un-
der the new arrangement Numerous
other changes have been made which
show that neither time nor effort
has been spared in making the Mon
tana State fair to the Treasure state
what the Minnesota and Illinois eX-
hibitions are to those states. That
Montana has made a marvellous record
in this respect cannot be gainsaid and
that it has an even brighter future is
equally patent.
One of the features of the fair this
year will be the dry farming division,
and it must be admitted, perforce, that
the showing therein, the adverse cir
cumstances considered, will prove one
of the best advertisements the state
ever received, and after all this is the
desideratum of the fair officials-to
make known the resources and oppor-
tunities of Montana to the civilized
world. Judging from the applications
for space and the really glowing re-
ports concerning these crops, it is
plainly indicated that this division will
be the cynosure of all eyes for see
ing is believing" and dry farming
success this year spells absolute GER
tainty in periods of ordinary precipita-
ton, for the records show that this
has been the driest year in decades.
At any rate, the exhibits will speak
for themselves, and reports received
from intending exhibitors plainly in
dicate that there will be no disappoint-

NEW VARIETY OF OATS.

Experiments covering period of IL
years, with the object of developing a
variety of oats that would yield more
than any other kind in this state
brought unlocked for results on the
Wisconsin University farm, when the
returns ran IS bushels to the acre.
The work of all the years now
brought to SO successful a close was
under the direction of Professor R.
A. Moore, the noted agronomist, who
invented the cure for oat smut.
The new variety of oats gives the
biggest yield ever secured on the
university farm. Another variety de-
veloped brought 63 bushels per acre.

REVENUES WITHOUT INCREASE
Of CONSTITUTIONAL TAX RATE
Editorial by Col. Sam Gordon in Daily
Yellowstone Journal.

Editorial by Col Sam Gordon in Daily
Yellowstone Journal.
In making a raise of $3,41S,494 in
the assessed valuation of Custer coun-
ty for year 1910, the county commits
sioners did a very unusual thing; un-
usual because the act involved some
two thousand taxpayers, and provid-
eded Off an average increased valua-
tion of % per cent more than shown
by the sworn returns of the ownesr
thereof. The law requires that the
county commissioners shall sit once
year as board of equalization, and
pass upon the values returned to the
assessor by the assessed, but this is
mainly a perfunctOry performance OF
duty by the commissioners the whole
state over. They do sit, and they do
Indicate a few instances where, in
their opinion values should be in
creased; but-speaking for Custer
county as an example of past equal
iZations-the results have generally
been unsatisfactory. The few singled
out have made strenuous opposition
and In majority of instances have
secured abatements, if not total re-
mission of the raise. 1t is the notable
contrast with past performances that
this years action of Custer county's
board of commissioners is unusual.
Becoming convinced by personal in
spection and common knowledge, that
land values in this county had Jagged
deplorably behind other valuations on
the assessed list, the board at it's ses-
sion for equalization this year reso-
lutely attacked the herculean Job of
equalizing the land values in an en-
pire of 10000 square miles. With an
agreed basis for each class of land,
they persevered in their self-imposed
task and when the end was reached,
found that they had made a total in
crease In values amounting to $3,418,-
494. a truly noble total. The next
question to be determined was: could
they make these increases stick? They
believed they could, for in their work
they had kept two objects In view
One, to increase values to a fair pro-
portion of present worth, and the
other to equalize; to treat every own
er, large and small, alike; to apply
"the square deal; and while there
were many protests by owners. as was
inevitable; and some errors corrected
as was also to be expected: the com.
missioners found at the end of two
strenuous days labor in correcting the
roll as equalized by them. that tn.

MUGGSY CANNON MUST GO.
From the Seattle Star.

From the Seattle Star.
The man up in the political bleach
ers who has progressive leanings
ought to be on his feet waving his
hat and yelling.
For his team stands mighty good
chance of coping the game.
Every inning seems to add a few
more scores to the insurgent total and
bring the victory over the Greed
nine, captained by Muggsy Cannon,
just little bit nearer
Here's the score to date:
Kansas has benched four standpats
and put four red hot insurgents in the
lineup in their places.
Iowa grew nervous because of the
errors of two of her standpat con-
gressmen and they have drawn re-
leases to be replaced by insurgents.
The two players from South Da-
kota have been half-hearted insurg-
ents, but at the state convention they
were given few pointers on how to
play the insurgent game and they sub
scribed to red hot insurgent plat
form in order to hold their jobs on
the team.
California now comes forward with
three insurgents, where she had only
two before, and at the November cleo
ton an insurgent democrat may take
the place of the one remaining stand
patter
In every state in which changes
have been made, the insurgents have
gained. In no case have the insurg-
ents lost man.
In the last congress there were 28
out and out republican insurgents.
The next congress ought to have near
ly twice that number, providing dem
ocrats are not elected in the close
districts. In either case the men
elected will be anti-Cannon.
In the last game Muggsy Cannon
almost lost his job at the head of the
team. 1t begins to look as if his trou-
bles have only started.
Yep, there's a fine chance to get a
new captain.

General Lee Great American

In letter to the Chicago Record

deprecates the efforts now being
made in Michigan and Illinois to
have the statue of General Robert E.
Lee excluded from the Hall of Fame

have heard of these efforts or can
have read the resolutions resulting
from them without disagreeing with
their object and without regretting
the temper they show

And again: in the mountains of

HOLY HERB

The Yerba Santa, as the old
Mission Fathers of the West
named the Holy Herb" of the IN
dams, Is hard to gather in it's
mountain home, and has, there
fore, never been placed on the
market as a drug. Made into a
hot tea, it is palatable, and yet a
mest marvellous remedy for colds,
coughs, fever, and even pneumo-
MIA. 1t warns quicker than whis-
ky, and is absolutely harmless. So
destructive is it to the microbes of
disease that the Spanish mission
aries, seeing the wonderful cure
wrought by the Indian herb,
named it "Holy".
If you have cough, cold, fever,
trouble with your stomach or in
testines, send me a silver dime, or
ten cents in stamps, and I will
mail you a sample of the Holy
Herb. 1t can not hurt you, and,
If you follow the simple directions,
it will cure you.

Thomas Watson and Foreign Missions

Tom Watson is Sin it," up to his
neck.
Thomas views on subjects and
things are apt at times to be radical
and rabid.
He has a knock-down and drag-out
style of argument which isn't pleas
ing to those opposed to him.
And Thomas has tackled "Foreign
Missions" with SO much bitterness
that he has formidable challenge
thrown at him, suggesting joint de-
bate as the only way to settle forever
the views Mr.. Watson holds.
The joint debate is to be based on:
Resolved, That the Foreign Mis-
sions as at present conducted by the
Christian churches is unwise, un-
necessary and Ruthless
Mr.. Watson will doubtless gasp
when he gets that challenge, for the
wording is SO beyond the sentiment
expressed by him.
There are a great many people,
not so fearless nor SO irascible as
Mr.. Watson, who hold strong views
on the question of Foreign Missions
With all due respect for those who
conduct them, for the many noble
men and women who are interested
in them, there are some of us who
honestly think that Foreign Mis-
sions'' and charity are made to do
duty for a multitude of things whose
names are different.
In overlooking the duties which
lie closest, it isn't always neglect on
the part of those so doing, it is often
ignorance of the condition nearest.
And a great deal of meddling and
rather overbearing actions have been
known to be done under the head Of
mission work"
Almost daily, every newspaper in
the State of Georgia is in receipt of
pleas for publication of the needs of
the orphanages and schools for poor
children in the State.
It has been proven by all sorts of
statistics that, as a State, Georgia
ranks among the wealthiest, but
gives the least to the cause of edu-
cation; 1t must also be true that her
parsimonious tactics extend to her
charities, else we would not be so
beseiged with pleas for aid.
Mr. Thomas Watson may be per-
fectly rational in his attitude toward
Foreign Mission work, he may have
noted the attitude of people toward
home mission work and realized that
"the poor whom we have always with
u.s. lose out when it comes to a ques-
ton of aid.
''The sails of all ships look white
in the distance" is an old Italian
proverb; stripped of it's verbiage it
means far view Of anything makes
it less distinct and therefore of more
interest.
Some how, missioner preaching
for money for Kwang Sue Ling and
Wo Ching Fung, finds it easier to
get money for their needs than when
asking for money to send Jimmy
Brown and Jennie Smith to school
in decent clothes and with the neces-
sary books.
Foreign Missions are excellent
things, but-has it occurred to many
that China, Japan, and India are
vastly richer than the United States?
That the percentage of Christian
lied and enlightened people is large
enough to Christianize and enlighten
the rest of their countries?
And, also; no one insists on do
