THE MEAGHER
COUNTY FAIR
Is the Best Ever Held The
Committee Deserve Much
Credit for Their Work.

Meagher county closed their
third annual fair ON last Friday
and it was pronounced by all to
have been the best in the history.
The fair opened on Wednesday,
September 4th under very threat
.ening weather that ended in a good
shower Wednesday evening. 1t
cleared up on Thursday afternoon
and Friday was a beautiful day.
The crowd on Wednesday was
small. but Thursday and Friday
there were about one thousand
people present each day. All were
liberal in their praises of the ma
nagment, and returned to their
homes fully satisfied with their en-.
tcrtalnmcnC. .
The exhibits were good. the
grasses from the Smith Rixer
Valley drew much attention. The
grain exhibit was the best that
has ever been seen here. The live
stock exhibit was small but of
good quality.
The ladies building was filled
with beautiful paintings, fancy
work, embroidery, flowers and
plants, preserves and school child
ren's exhibits. To say that these
were good is putting it very mild.
The ladies deserve special credit
for their work and interest they
took in the fair.
The entertainment part of tie
fair was very novel and entertain
! ing. Bill Reynolds, with his band
of COW punchers, put on wild
west show in front of the grand
stand that lasted an hour. Bill is
an old wild west Snowman, having
travelled all over Australia, France,
Germany and the United States,
giving exhibits of a similar quality
to those he gave here. lie is gen
orally known in those foreign
countries as chihuahua Bill and is
a great fayorite. Getting tired of
the show life, he took to farming
and located homestead on the
North Fork of the Musclshell near
Delpinc, and is foreman for the
Belt Mountain Ranch. We hope
} to see Bill at the next Meaghel
county fair.
The poultry exhibit was good
The entries were quite numerous
and the birds high class.

WHY NOT BE
FOR DIVISION
Some Reasons Why We Should
Be in Faveor of County
Division.

A trip overland to White Sui
phur Springs would soon convince
any skeptical resident of the east
end that to be joined together as
one county is not only distasteful
to both sections. but is expensive.
Each is entirely out Of harmony
with the other. The interests OF
the west end of the county are
purely livestock and mining, while
the east end is wholly agricultur
al. In going to the county seat,
agriculture ends thirty-five miles
west of Judith Gap, and for over
forty miles before reaching White
Sulphur Springs scarcely a human
habitation is seen. Those who
have made the trip by rail are i'm
pressed with about the same state
of affairs.
The Smith River valley which
lies west, north and south of the
Springs is beautiful country, we'll
watered and is a paradise OF the
live stockmen. Some agricultural
development has been made there.
but the elevation is so high that
raising crops successfully is a
doubtful proposition. In cQnver-
sation with the people at the coun-
[ ty seat YOU are lead to believe that
you are lying when you tell them
of the rich agricultural country ly-
ing east of Harlowton Or Two Dot.
The substantial citizens OF that
/ city will not believe it., and it is
Inot hard to understand why VIC dc
not get any recognition from the
county commissioners when we ask
for money with which to build
roads. When we ask for recogni
ton on the county ticket in boCl
parties they think we are trying tt
steal something from them, and i
they grudgingly grant the request
they act as though we should bt
under lifelong obligations to them
When they are told that the enc
of the county from Harlowton cas-
has nearly 100 votes more than th'
west end you are looked upon a
entirely hopeless, and this in fac
of the fact that the great reglste
in the office Of the clerk and re
corder tells the story and the fact
are accessible to all if they will
take the trouble to examine th
= book.
With all the booming the count
seat has had in the past two years
the town has not added a half do;
en- citizens to its population, an
not many dollars to its taxabl
property. The old residents ther
do not want to be disturbed b
! the sound of the hammer, nor hea
any strange voices in their polit
cal councils. The younger elemer
!. want to see the town goahead, an
they believe they never can accon
plish anything in the way of devc
opment until division is a fact, an
t they are not opposing the mov
t ment.
It The tax levy this year is mac
o and all taxpayers know that tt
levy is much higher than last yea
II The residents of Judith Gap scho
n district will have to pay a lit
II over % mills on their assessib
,r property. In the Okla district,
,f mills; in Harlowton, 5S mills, viii
is White Sulphur Springs is 35 mil
v The levy in the Judith Gap d
Il, trict is the lowest of any, but
ns that is nearly twice as high as la
year, or any previous year.

LIST Regularity-There should be
no absence from school except for
unavoidable causes. Only those Of
experience in school matters rea-
lize how many failures and disconr-
agements of pupils are due to a
lack Of regularity. Most school
work is continuous, and much Of it
50 related that the understanding
of one lesson depends upon a know
ledge of the preceding one. A pupil
that is absent today is handicapped
in his work tomorrow. 1t may
mean failure in tomorrow's work.
And so these irregularities in at.
tendance result in loss of interest,
sometimes Encouragement and
often in failure. / would like to
impress upon all parents the neces-
sity of regularity in attendance.
2nd Punctuality- y-Only very rare
ly is tardiness really necessary.
Usually it can be avoided by a
little special effort. Mostly it is
due to indifference. For the school
it is most annoying. First bell
rings at $50 and the tardy bell at
900, a half hour to reach school,
which surely can be done from any
part of the city. Then we must
also remember that punctuality is
a very good habit to develop in
young people. 1t counts so much
nowadays in the business world.
But aside from all other consider.
ations, hardness interferes with
the best kind of school work and
therefore we ask parents to assist
us in getting pupils to school on
time. 3rd Home study-1n the ad
vanced grades and the High School
home study will be necessary. The
study periods in school are not Ions
enough to provide sufficient time
| in which to prepare for all tht
lclasses. That means that some
preparation must be done at home
The more advanced the work the
greater the requirements in thi
respect. The school hours for th'
High School are divided into sever
periods. The minimum numbe
of any student is four, with mos
it will be more than this, thus leav
ing at best only three periods TO
study purposes. That is not enough
for any student to do the best kint
of work. SO we urge home study
Parents can be of great assistanc
if they will insist upon their bo.
or girl applying himself to his less
ons for part of the time out G
school, each day.
These few suggestions are mad
} in the knowledge that best result
can only be achieved by intelligcn
: cooperation of school and HON
and in the belief that homes al
ready and willing to respond wit
such assistance as they can rende

pass against u.s." This does not re
late to the Adamic guilt of the saints
but to their daily shortcomings; their
share in original sin and condemna
ton was Cancelled through the merit
of Christ before they became follow
ers in his steps as sons of God. What
an incentive to Gods people to be gen.
erous, forgiving, large-hearted, thus
cultivating the heavenly fathers spirit
and character, and to be in that con-
dition of heart where they can receive
richly of divine bounty and mercy at
the throne of grace.
Love works no injury to its neigh
Dor; love, therefore, Is the fulfilling
Of that feature of the divine law which
applies to our duty toward our neigh
Dor, to love him as ourself. But love
can do more than this, and in the case
of Jesus it did more, for in love he
surrendered his rights, privileges, etc.,
and died, the just for the unjust, that
he might bring us to God. And he is
our example as surely as we are his
disciples, followers, and prospectively
his joint-heirs in his kingdom, the
establishment Of which on earth we
believe to be near at hand.

HERE SHORT Time
PITTSBURGH MAN WAS IN OF.
oTTUMWA IN INTEREST OF
GREAT CONFERENCE.

James S. Martin, D. D., Of Pitts
burgh, Pa, general superintendent Of
the organization that is preparing for
one of the greatest conferences in the
world, passed through Ottumwa yes
erday afternoon. He came from Des
Moines and Is going to Washington, Ia.
for an address in the interest OF the
conference. DIR. Martin is Just return
ing east from a Pacific coast lecture
tour In behalf Of the great meeting.
The second Worlds Christian CIT.
izenship conference is to be held in
Portland, Ore, June 20 to July 6.
1913 The. organizers expect to have
at least one delegate from every coun-
try on the globe, with total at
tendance of from $4,000 to 10000 peo-
pie. The purpose of the conference
is to take up great questions, moral
problems with which government and
law have to deal. 1t Is in reality
Christian gathering for the purpose
OF formulating worldwide move
ment against immortality. DR.. Martin
explains the underlying purpose OF
the conference when he says:
"The supreme court of the United
States has declared this Christian
land. If 1t is Christian land, we must
have, a coming generation of Chris
tians. We do not believe that the
vices of today, law breaking, corrup
ton in politics and all national evils
can be stopped by passage Of laws
or human prosecution. It takes the
help of God and Christianity. We
believe this is the only way in which
the morality Of the world can be
sustained and that which has been
lost, regained."
The conference will be the great
est gathering of Christian forces ever
recorded in modern history Some Of
the greatest men of all civilized
countries will be present, many OF
them for addresses. Thousands Of
dollars will be spent in this confer.
ence. The Portland Commercial as
ISOLATION has given $25, 900, $4,000 Of
which is in cash and $4,000 in con-
cessions.

KNOX PRAISES.
PRESIDENT TAFT
SECRETARY OF STATE ALSO AS
SAILS ROOSEVELT IN LOS
-.7s as ANGELES SPEECH.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 10.-1n q
speech here last night before the
Southern California Taft association,
Secretary of State Knox vigorously
interjected himself into the presiden-
tial primary campaign. This was Mr..
Knox's first utterance of political
nature since his return from Central
America He took up the cudgels
strongly for President Taft, defending
him from the criticisms of Colonel
Roosevelt, whom he scathingly at
tackled as man prompted by
whims," Of "imperious ambitions, van
tiles and mysterious antipathies" and
as one who would break the rule of
his party and his own solemn word to
gain the seat of a friend"
"The new nationalism" of Colonel
Roosevelt was termed by Secretary
Knox "as violent an assault upon the
autonomy of the states as the new ma.
tionalism Of 1861 was upon the integ-
rity of the union"
In refutation of Col. Roosevelt's
claim that Mr.. Taft. was unfit for re-
election to the presidency, Mr.. Knox
cited the colonel's language in 1908
in commencing Taft as the true
friend of reform, the true foe Of
abuses" s. >.....# * .
Referring to Col Roosevelt's
charge that the president was seeking
the support Of bosses" Mr.. Knox
said:
president Taft can reply that Mr..
Roosevelt sought and had their sup
port in his campaign of 1904 and that
in many places now his interests are
in the hands of rejected and disaf-
fected political bosses whose political
offenses smell to high heaven"
Mr.. Knox discussed at length the
record of the republican party and
reviewed exhaustively the achieve
ments of President Taft's administra-
ton. OF reciprocity between Canada
and the United States he said that
effort to restrain, hamper and inter-
fere with It's realization will be as
futile and as improbable as were the
early ruinous trade wars between the
states" 49,.
"This," said Mr.. Knox, "is perhaps
one of the most extraordinary ante
convention campaigns within the his
tory of our party. The effort SO far
has been to confuse the situation BY
dragging in issues with which the
states alone are concerned"
