GEO. BEARRY GETS CHEEK BONE CRUSHED

While engaged at work on the
steam loader for the Bear Creek
Mill Co. last Saturday morning Geo.
w. Bearry came near loosing his
life being struck by an non hook
which got loose, the blow hurting
him several feet through the air.
Writ Roberts who was working
nearby caught him and saved him
from being hurt from the fall. The
cruel metal bar hit him on the face
over the cheek bone under the eye
fracturing same and rendering him
unconscious for over an hour. He
was brought home and given atten
ton by the physicians here. He suf-
fered great pain for while from the
wound. That afternoon his brother
John carried HIM to Mobile to the
Hospital, where he remained until
Wednesday when he came home but
will return within few days to
have the surgeons, if need be,
straighten out the incurve to the
fractured bone. They think be will
come out of it alright with no bad
after effects. The Herald is glad that
this young man escaped so well as he
did from this accident.

wife: Virdie E. Williams, whose splr
it we hope'is now around the Great

Valley, Ala & Miss. R. r.
We were married the 10th of Dec,
1906. God blessed our union with
three sweet children. 1t seemed
hard to give her up, but | submit to
Gods will.
And God being my helper, | have
registered vow which | hope is
recorded in Heaven, that Jesus shall
be my Pilot, and guide through my
life; and l shall constantly ask God
to guide and protect our little ones.
Virdie was kind, loving wife and
mother. She was truly loyal 10 all
of her friends. especialls to her aged
parents.
Virdie was the youngest of Mr..
Perry's children. Messrs. Jodie and
Ed Perry are her brothers; Mrs.
John T.. and Mrs. Edna wife Of Barly

Ny father is Mr.. James 2. Will

Verdei was "a years old the day Of
her burial. Brother EasIey conduct
led the burial service, which was
touchingly beautiful.
No more when worldly wounds are sore,
She comes to wipe my weeping eyes.
i No more she scourges pain and fear.
She sleeps at rest in Paradise.
| Good bye loved one till we come
on 10 you.

FLAX AS A
DRY LAND CROP

Lethbridge, Alta, Jan. 5.-Far-
mers in many states of the land
west east of the Rockies are over
looking a source Of good income in
omitting flax from their list of prof.
table crops, says Prof. II. l.. Bolley
Of the North Dakota agricultural
college, IN an article on the subject
just issued here by the International
Dry-Farming congress. 1.-The crop
is specifically drouth resistant by ma
ture," he adds, land tue conditions
necessary to best seed quality are
found under those Of the semi-arid
foothills of the Rocky mountains.
where dry-land agriculture is being
practised dry air. cool nights. warm.
sunshiny days and firm subsoil. ]
am convinced that there are few
crops. other than hoed crops. which
can withstand the amount of drouth
that the flax seed crop can and yet
produce Il paying crop. 1t is my be-
lief that it can be produced in pay
ing quantities further west and high
or on the foothills of the great plains
than can any other oi the small
grains"
Professor Bolley is one OF the
worlds flax experts. He advises u
trial on small areas until practical
experience is gained and says that
most scrupulous attention should bo
given to the selection of bright.
clear colored, plump, acclimatcd seed
and that the latter should be (.isin-
fectel with formaldehyde and then
planted in Il firm. solid seed-bed well
supplied with moisture at the start.
The farming operations should be SO
arranged that the flax will not appear
on the same land more than once in
five or six years, and, in this period.
there should be one or more years OF
thorough cultivation. The corn crop
and pasture lands seem to be the best
possible preparation OF the soil l'ic-
ceding flax crop.
There is no substitute for linseed
oil rs an essential part OF tine paints
and varnish. printers ink, tne
aEnealing Of glass and IN MANY
other Important FEATURES Ct manu-
featuring. The use ff the fiber is in
creasing and it is also being learned
that there is no product Of better
quality than linseed meal and oil
cake. In view OF these facts Piof.
BolDpy believes that the flax crop is
destined to play an important part
in the development of the dry-l.:d
west.

PRODUCE
100 MILLION

Montana will yet produce 100
million bushels of wheat annually"
This statement was made about
eighteen months ago by our assoc:-
ate editor, Prof. Thos. Shaw, in {.
public address. It was received with
ridicule by those VINO had no con-
ception Of the possibilities of the
Treasure State, or of the progress tf
dry farming methods and of irriga-
ton. Montana's wheat crop this
year, more than double that of 1909,
will go far to center public attention
upon the present and future develop
ment in Montana. 1t may be thought
that our report exaggerates the agri-
cultural returns for that State but
Montana is so vast that relatively
small increase in area farmed makes
large gain in the total Of wheat and

PEACE AND WAR.

/ believe in peace. national ana
international, but let me tell you
that stand for it only as the
handmaiden Of justice. I stood
for peace when was president,
both social end industrial, but
l stood for it only when l knew
that it was right. not when 1t
was necessary to purchase it at
any cost OF honor. When men
came to me and said. I'VE must
have peace: let us have peace"
and I knew that peace under
the conditions proposed would
be dishouOrable. l said to these
gentlemen: "You obey the law.
won't ask you to obey it ~ \
favor to me. I'll make you obey
it." stood for peace then. and
l stand for 1t now, but only
when it is right. When it IL not
right I will not stand for it. !
don't want to ask any other ma
ton ts be good to us because
l fear being hurt. I want them
to be good to as because they
fear we may hurt them. I want
to have the navy kept up. The
web footed feet Of Uncle Sam
did mighty good work during
the civN war. and l want it to
grow SO that we can keep peace
with it.-TheOdOre Roosevelt

LAWS RELATIVE
TO Citizenship

Clerk Of the district court Of Custer
county has given out a few pointers
for prospective citizens from foreign
parts, who under the new laws gov
erning naturalization must conform
to many regulations. Hearing for
admission to citizenship are held
twice year, and the applications
must be filed ninety days in advance
of the hearings.
All thOse persons who arrived in
the United States subsequent to June
%, 1905. will hereafter be required to
file with their applications certiti-
cate furnished by the bureau of COM
merce and labor, showing that they
have arrived legally in the United
States, or there is nothing doing.
They may think they are here all
right, but ii they haven't the certif-
cate, they aren't. Under the law as
it stands now you can't "be here be-
cause you're here" but because the
bureau Of commerce and labor says
you're here, and has duly certified to
the fact. If, for instance, you are in
Alberta, Canada, and not being a citi-
zen of the United States. you wish to
come across the border you may do
SO without mOlestation, but il you go
into court and try to become citi-
zen, you may find that you didn't
strike the right port. For under the
regulations. Montana, though sup
p0sedly inland, has two ''ports Of en-
try" where the government will fur
nish the necessary certificates that
the applicant has entered the coun-
try legally. Though you do not act,,-
ally cross the border at one Of these
points you must go. to one or the
other Of them for your certificates.
The two ports Of entry are Sweet
Grass OH the Montana border on the
railway line from Great Falls to CAL
gary, and Gateway, in the extreme
northwest corner Of the state. where
the railroad line crosses to Fernie in
British Columbia. The custom off,
cials will furnish the necessary docu-
ments at these points. If you really
want to become u citizen, it doesn't,
pay to get snluggled in.
