DRAMATIC EVENT
EXTRAORDINARY

Mr.. Sanford Dodge will soon ap-
pear ut the opera house in Judith
Gap in splendid new scenic produc-
ton of "rhe Right Of Way. This
wonderful play was dramatized from
Sir Gilbert Parker's powerful novel
by Eugene Presbrey, one Of the fore
most American playwrights. "The
Right of Way was an instantaneous
success from its initial production in
New York City to the present time,
owing to the fact that more people
are becoming acquainted with tho
story through reading the book and
it bids falr, eventually to rival "Ben
Hur" and other works Of a like ma.
ture.
Ii you have not read the story, now
is your time to do SO; If you have,
you will want to read it again before
seeing the play, but whether you
have read the story or not, you will
be intensely interested in the drama
itself as it will be presented by San
ford Dodge and his excellent COM
pany at the opera house, Judith Gap,
Tuesday evening, Dec. 18th.

SHEEP SHOULDN'T
BE SACRIFICED

When the democrats came into
power in 1893, they were pledged to
reduce the tariff on wool. No SOON
er was this fact generally known
than the prices paid for sheep fell
rapidly. This fall i'll price was
further accentuated by the general
depression which prevailed. The out.
come was wholesale sacrifice of
many of the tiocks in the United
States not only OH the ranges, but
also OH the arabic farms. Some
fiocks on the farm were sold at $1.OO
per head, and in but few instances
did mature sheep net to the owners
more than $3.50 per head. Such low
prices would not have been reached
but for the fact that the markets for
mutton, for the time being. became
glutted because Of the very large
numbers that were dumped upon
them wit hin short time.
The wholesale sacrifice OF flocks at
that time was peculiarly unfortunate.
Those who did not sell, reaped a
splendid harvest within the next few
years, because OF the prices which
followed. The sacrifice OF sheep ut
the time was based upon All incorrect
idea. That idea was that the wool
produced by sheep was 80 important
. factor, that unless a relatively good
al,
could not be kept at y profit. That
view was not correct then, nor is it
correct now.
Even when wool values were at the
lowest in those days, some profit
could have been obtained from SHE ep.
providing the industry were handled
in the best way. 1t is generally con
ceded that the food consumed by y
sheep OH the arabic farm will be
paid for by the wool produced. This
ls probably true when it is considered
that sheep gather much of their food
from weeds that would otherwise
harm, and from grasses that would
otherwise remain uneaten. Such be-
ing the case. the lamb produced by a
eve, less the food consumed by the
lamb, will represent the profit. A
eve will produce about seven pounds
Of wool. Now assume that the aver
age price of wool is 20 cents aud that
the price should be cut in two by II
reduced tariff. There would still be
Judith Gap journal. [volume] (Judith Gap, Mont.) 1908-19??, 1912-12-13

the lamb to the good. less the cost of
it's food, with 20 cents added to that
cost. These two items would not
amount to more than $1.1O. The av-
erage value Of lamb at the present
time OH the farm, when six month
old, is not less than say $3.50. The
profit therefore. at the present time
is very substantial. even though
there should be a great reduction in
the tariff on wool, or should It be re-
moved; but of course the profit that
would otherwise come to tho flock
master will be reduced by the extent
Of the reduction of the tariff.
If the owner Of the sheep on the
range maintains large numbers Of
wethers in his flock from year to
year. he will suffer much more from
a reduction in the duty on wool than
the man whose holdings consist en-
tirely of ewes and their lambs, along
with such stock rams as may be nec-
essary. The wethers will only give
a return in the fleece from year to
year, whereas the ewes will produce
Il fleece and also lamb.
The democrats are again in power,
and it is foregone conclusion that
there will be marked reduction in
the duties on wool. Even so, it
would be a mistake to reduce the
tlocks, much more, to part with them.
The prices Of all kinds OF meats are
soaring, and they are going to soar
for years to come. This means that
tile mutton produced by sheep will
bring in 50 good a return, that in the
face OF cut in wool values, the
iiockmaster will make good money
from his sheep. Let it be clearly un-
derstood that this discussion is net
intended to have any bearing OH poll
tical questions. but to show that
sheep ought not to be sacrificed be-
cause Of any reduction that may be
made in the wool duties.

100000 BUSHELS
OF MONT. GRAIN

Helena, Dec. THE time is not
far distant when Montana will be
producing 100 ,OOO, 600 bushels of grain
annually was the prediction made at
the first annual meeting here today
Of the Montana Grain Dealers associ-
alton. When all the states agricul-
tural land is under cultivation, its
grain output will be double that, it
was asserted. The primary object of
the association is to encourage and
cooperate with the farmers in secur
ing purer seeds and varieties of grains
best adapted to Montana s climate.
1t was the consensus of opinion that
the development of the agricultural
interests of the state could best be
served by an organization of this
kind and by cooperation with the
growers and dealers.
Efforts are to be made to include
in the association all farmers, indie
pendent and line elevators through
out the state.
About 30 grain dealers were in at
tendance. The next meeting will be
held here in July. A banquet was
held tonight.

HOBSON FLOUR MILL
A REAL BENEFIT

UObsOn has farmers elevator
and y farmers Touring mill that are
real benefit to the producers of
crops within radius Of thirty miles
of that enterprising city.
The old line houses started to run
the elevator out this year, and paid
from 5 to cents a bushel more for
wheat than at any other point in the
Basin. They We're buying the grain
mp there for considerable less than
all the freight to Minneapolis. The
farmers elevator kept right on doing
business nevertheless, and in retail
liation against the milling trust Of
the state. (which combination will
not buy grain from farmers eleva-
tors, the llobson mill has reduced
the price Of flour about one-half to
farmer.
The mill gives thirty pounds of
flour and twelve pounds OF shorts for
every bushel Of wheat brought to the
mill in exchange. This brings the
about one-half what his local grocer
man could sell il for with Il pounds
Of shorts thrown in.
This is one Of the practical benefits
brought directly to the farmer III

Judith Gap has Il real farmers ele-
vator which is owned and controlled

year has saved the producers hun

competitors to pay more for wheat
than was ever paid here before.

NATION SAVED BY A SPIDER
Scotland Profited by the Lesson the
Insect Taught to Its
Monarch.

Scotland has many legends that the
sheepherders and highland peasants
never get tired repeating. A long time
ago King Bruce ruled over Scotland
before that country became a part OF
England. and he learned a lesson from
a spider that enabled him to succeed
when otherwise he would have failed.
King Bruce had lost many battles.
He was discouraged. He had made
his final effort against his enemies
and failed to vanquish them. Deep in
despair he went to a lonely room in
his castle. Reclining on the couch
and thinking. he happened to notice
a spider drop from the ceiling On a
single silken cord. He watched the
spider fascinatingly. 1t now began its
ascent. 1t slipped. Time and time
again 1t tried to mount, but each time
it failed. The king watched ~intently,
forgetful of all else. An hour passed.
Finally the spider succeeded. 1t was
an inspiration for King Bruce. Why
should he get discouraged, having
tried only a few times and failed? He
made one last grand rally against his
enemies and routed them, and from
this incident came the old saying, IF
at first you don't succeed try again."
