DRY CLIMATE
IS A BENEFIT

According to President J. H. Worst of the N.
D. Agricultural College, the so-called dry climate
is god-send to Montana, and he gives his rea-
SONS for holding such opinion. Pres. Worst
delivered an address at the Northwestern DeveI-
opment league meeting in Helena last week and
he discussed the question Of rainfall in the north
western states.
"Montana is specially fortunate,' said Pres.
Worst, "in having what is called dry climate.
1t makes the farmer cultivate his land properly
and by being forced to do that, he gets the maxi
mum Of results But there is larger reason
why Montana is fortunate with a light rainfall,
or what might be termed minimum rainfall.
"ln those states where there is large precp-
tation, the valuable land is always damaged to
an extent by the soil being washed off in the
freshets. Much Of the fertility is lost by this
washing. Here, there is nothing Of that charac-
ter to take the nutrtive elements from the soil,
those elements on which the plant life thrves.
"In Montana, if the farmer cutivates his land
properly he will get profitable yield about 90
times out of 100. But in those where the pre-
cipitation is very heavy, the crop is often dam
aged by rains, its cultivation is hindered at a
time when it is most needed, and later, when
the grain is developing, sweeping rain storm
often results in heavy loss to the crop. So when
all these things are considered, Montanalfarmers
have much to be thankful for, that they are
blessed with chance for dry farming

LOSES SUIT FOR SHARE
Of bALDW|N'S MILLIONS
Court Declares That the
Claimant Was Never Married
to the Late Californian.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 9.-Mrs.
Lillian Ashley Turnbull has lost her suit
against the late l.. J. ("Lucky'D Bald
wins estate, instituted in behalf of her
daughter, Beatrice Anita Baldwin Turn
bull. an instructed verdict against her
being returned. Her attorneys at once
gave notice of an appeal TO the supreme
court.
The decision against the plaintiff and
her daughter came at the close of argu-
ments that had consumed several days.
Judge Rives, acting favorably on the mo-
ton OF the defense, instructed the jury TO
return this verdict, In substance:
THAT there never was a marriage,
either valid Or null I'm law, or any mar
rage whatever between the mother of
said Beatrice Anita Baldwin, known as
Beatrice Anita Turnbull. and the said
Elias J. Baldwin, deceased.
THAT Beatrice Anita Baldwin, other
wise known as Beatrice Anita Turnbuli,
Is not a legitimate daughter or leglti-
mate child of the said Elias j. Baldwin,
deceased"
Mrs. Turnbuil received the adverse de-
cision calmly, her attorneys having an
ticipated 1t. She declared her intention
to continue the fight.
Thus far the defense. according to it's
statement, has expended S5.G0 in lighting
the case, and the plaintiffs expenses
have reached a total of $4,000.
Mrs. Turnbuil sued for approximately
S. 5OO,OGO of the $l1,0O0,G00 estate. The
trial lasted more than three months, but
there were many adjournments of sew
eral days at d time.
Judge Rives, in granting the motion OF
the defense, avoided going into detail
regarding his reasons for his decision.
He merely said the evidence was .nsufi-
clint to prove marriage or the paternity
of the girl claimant.
According to Judge Rives' orders, the
findings in the case will be submitted
March 81 and the motion for an appeal
passed upon.

WASHINGTON AMONG LEADERS

Although the dropping out of many
pupils of the public schools of this city,
as in every other city of the United
States, before graduating from the high
school, and indeed in a large percentage
of cases before having completed the eie-
mentary school course, is one Of the
problems which are being daily conbated
by local educa tors, Supt. Of Schools A.
r. Stuart said today that pupils of the
local schools remain at school longer
than in most cities.
THAT this is true said Mr.. Stuart,
lis shown conclusively by the fact that
10 per cent of the children enrolled at
tend the high schools. In many cities
per cent only remain until they gradu-
ate from the high school,
The reason assigned for this by Mr..
Stuart is, first. that Westminster Isl not
manufacturing city: second. that in
most cases parents can afford to send
their children to school. and third. the
rigid enforcement of the child labor law.
which compels a child to remain at school
until he or she Is fourteen years OF age.
In manufacturing cities, Mr.. Stuart
stated, more temptation was offered for
the children to go to work. Where parents
are poor 1t is often necessary to let the
children help in supporting the family, he

Report on the Subject.


The discussion of this school problem
was brought about by report Just is
sued by committee Of the National Edu-
cation Association which has been gath
ering statistics on the subject for some
time. The committee Is composed OF
some of the country's most prominent
educators, the chairman being Prof
George D. Straver Of Columbia UniYer-
sty. The report says, in part:
THE work OF the school up to the
present time has been judged in large
measure by the number OF its graduates
and by their intellectual attainment. Lit
tie or no account has been taken Of the
number that withdrew before reaching
the sixth grade, to say nothing Of thoss
dropping out before completing the ele-
mentary or high school course. In
been ignored. The public school ought
to be SO attractive and SO effective that
once a child enters he will continue until
he has at least finished the elementary
course. We are, however, at present far
from attaining this degree OF efficiency.
But to what extent we are failing to hold
our children cannot be known until def
mite data are collected with reference
to Withdrawals. Moreover. the public
school has not done its full duty by
the child until the causes OF withdrawal
are ascertained. and those lying within
the school eradicated.''
The cause Of withdra walls in the aver
age school is given in table which the
committee has compiled. This table shows
that Of the total number Of pupils leav-
ing the graded and high schools 5O.a3 per
cent leave to go to work. The financial
condition. at home is the cause Of pupils
leaving in only 498 per cent Of the cases
quoted; 2O65 leave on account of personal
illness, physical defects or if,capacity III
ness in the family is the cause Of 4.0o
per cent Of leaving. 7.4S per cent leave
school through indifference.
High Percentage Here.
The latest report Of the bureau of edu-
cation, Department Of the Interior, rates
Washington's students remaining at
school for q complete course as 1924 per
cent 1t is now more than 10 per cent,
says the superintendent of schools.
