ta. Nick Schmitz, who year after
year has some farm product that is

yellow dent corn that would bring
JOY to the heart of an agriculturist
even in Iowa or Illinois. Mr.. Schmitz
remembered The ENTERPRISE exhib-
itand brought two stalks, measuring
eight and one-half and nine feet in
height, with very large well devel-
oped ears; also two ears picked from
other stalks in the field, one of which
was nine inches long and seven and
One-haf inches in circumference.
This corn was not planted until along

three weeks earlier it would now be
ripe. Only portion of the seven
acres received any cultivation. If
frost holds off while longer the
yield per acre of this exceptionally
beautiful corn will be given to our

got Of the road into hole near the

horses plunged about and in doing
so dragged the other one down into
the swift current. The light wagon
was overturned and Mr.. Sniff thrown
into the deep water. His heavy rub.
Der coat and overshoes prevented
him from helping himself and he
sank beneath the turbulent water.
When he came to the surface there
was not even straw for him to
clutch and he sank again. thinking
to himself, "Now here's a Job for
Rock Tucker" Fortunately, the
second time he rose the current had
carried him where the water was on
ly knee deep and he secured a foot

tiously and wading a distance he got
out of the water. The mail bag was
rescued with difficulty and the fol-
lowing day brought to Malta on the

Dyer by Sniff. Malta people never
looked so good as when they were
able to congratulate Mr.. Sniff upon
his narrow escape from watery

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL CATALOC
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL READY

The fourteenth annual catalogue
of the Montana State Normal Col
lege shows in comprehensive way
the facilities which the state of Mon
tana has provided for the training
of it's public school tea chers. 1t
shows q complete outline of the
courses of study, which are fully on
a par with those of any normal school
in the country. 1t is interesting, by
the way, to observe that these high
standards were adopted at Dillon
at time when all other normal
schools west of the Mississippi river,
except those of Iowa, Missouri, Col
orado, and California were still grad
uating students from much shorter
courses.
The diploma of the Montana State
Normal College carries with it the
privilege of teaching without exam
ination in any public school in the
state of whatever grade, high school,
graded school or rural school. 1t is
the only institution of which this is
true.
A summer school Of eight weeks
has just been completed at the State
Normal College, which has proved a
most conspicuous success. Teachers
were in attendance as students from
almost every county in Montana, as
we'll as numbers from other states,
These all returned to their homes
full of enthusiasm for the college.
During the summer new power
plant is in process of erection at the
Normal College, and extensive i'm.
provements are in progress on the
other buildings.
The fifteenth year opens at Dillon
September 18th, and with the strong
faculty, the remarkable dormitory
accommodations, and the very small
expense involved in attendance, a
greatly increased enrolment is an
