CHILD MISSING FOR
THE PAST FIVE DAYS
FlVE-YEAR-OLD SON OF MRS. vIR-
GINA GREEN CANNOT BE
FOUND-SOME THEORIES.

Last Saturday evening the five-year-
old son of Mrs. Virginia Pichette
Green, cashier in the grocery depart
ment at Lehman's, disappeared and up
to the time of going to press has not
since been seen. Officer JOS. Friels
was the last to notice the child. This
was shortly after 5 Friday, in front
of Lehman's, the boy having come out
of the store, where he went to see his
mother. AT first it was thought that
the father, from whom Mrs. Green is
divorced, might have taken the child,
but diligent inquiry made by Sheriff
Tullock shows that Mr.. Green has not
left his ranch in Big Sandy for num-
Der of days. The theory generally ac-
cepted is that the little one wandered
to the creek near their home, fell in
and was drowned. Yesterday the Of
ficers had four men, including Tom
Michaud and his brother, search the
stream down as far as Burke's dairy
and no trace of the little one could be
found. Tom Michauds went down the
creek in boat and their search was
systematic and thorough. The mother
is in a pitiable condition from worry
and anxiety. The search is, of course,
still being kept up.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
FINANCES ITS DEBT
NO MORE FAIRS By ASSOCIATION
-MAY BE LEASED TO PRO-
POSED COUNTRY CLUB,

In all probability the Fergus County
Fair Association has held it's last fair.
This does not mean that there may
not be fairs and race meets in future
at the fair grounds, but they will not
be under the auspices of the associa-
tion. AS announced in the Democrat
recently, the association reincorpo-
rated last month, the old corporation
having expired. The stockholders re-
main the same as in the old organiza-
tion and the directorate is made up as
follows: David Hilger, president; J.
E. Lane, vice-president; H. B. Cutler,
secretary; George j. Wiedeman, Sam
uel Phillips and F. E. Wright, direc-
tors.
The directors held an important
meeting Saturday and took up the
task of financing the outstanding debt,
which is between $4,000 and $3.50
Practically all of this is owing to the
four banks and the Montana Lumber
company, the larger part of it being
due to the First National and Bank of
Fergus County, while a considerable
sum is due the lumber company on
account of the grandstand. The banks
have carried the association along, and
but for the ill luck that has pursued it,
the total debt would be a light one
now. Three Or four of the fairs un-
dertaken in recent years have been
flat failures, due entirely to weather
conditions. The association expended
about $4,000 in the construction of the
half-mile track and about $4,000 for
the new grandstand. The four banks
have agreed to take notes for the
amount of the debt, the notes to be
secured by the grounds. The tract
comprises SO acres of land of consid-
cradle value now and as the notes
will run for five years, it is sure to
have a greatly increased value at the
end of that period. The directors are
satisfied that better results can be OBJ
tained by leasing the grounds for race
meets and fair purposes than to un-
dertake the direct management of
these enterprises in future.
For Country Club.
The grounds are located at about
the right distance from town to make
an ideal location for a country club.
and it is quite likely that such an ar
rangement will be made. The revenue
TO be derived in this way will be ample
to meet the interest payments on the
notes and save the property for the
stockholders. Such plan would not
Interfere with racing. 1t seems en-
tirely safe to predict that at the end
of the five years the stock will be
worth great deal more than par.

FARMERS AUXILIARY
NEEDED IN THE BASIN
F. a. BENNETT INDICATES SOME
OF THE WAYS IN WHICH 1T
MAY BE USEFUL.
Editor Democrat:

Editor Democrat:
| am often asked the question,
What part Of the farmers movement
is the Farmers Auxiliary" | will say
in answer to that question that 1t has
a very important part.
In the first place, it has the work
OF establishing and promoting the
community interests, such as holding
weekly or monthly meetings, at which
time the problems of the farm are dis
cussed by the farmers; the exchanging
OF ideas, reports of experiments made
by the different farmers, results OBJ
tanned by certain methods OF farming.
There Is no question but that we can
always learn something from the 9TH
er fellow, for an example, you will no
tice that the lumbermen, grain deal
ers, hardware merchants, implement
dealers, and other lines OF business,
hold annual conventions, where ali
branches of their different businesses
are discussed, to see If their business
cannot be handled on more economi-
cal basis and to see that there Is no
waste In conducting their business.
They find these meetings very profit
able.
Farming Business.
Farming Is business, and a scien-
tifc business at that, and the more
scientific we conduct our farming the
better results we will get.
There should be some social feature
added to the movement. | notice that
Moore has been conducting social func-
tions for farmers families. The move
ment is to be commended.
1t has been the custom of all the
towns in the Basin to conduct annually
some kind of an agricultural exhibit
and have general good time. That
would be one of the affairs that the
auxiliaries could take ar active part
in. The towns could hold their an
nual festivals prior to the annual fair,
and then each auxiliary could com
pete with each other for highest
honors at the annual county fair.
1t would be a part of the work of
the auxiliary to get farmers in their
locality to try out different kinds of
crops on a small scale.
We have some of the best farmers
from the east located in the Judith
Basin, and as q Mr. Powell from near
Moore, who came here from Iowa, told
me that when he came here they told
him he could not grow this and could
not grow that, but everything he has
tried to gorw he has been successful
with, and l have had the same re-
suits.
| merely mention few of the things
that the auXiliaries can do to give you
an idea. +. A. BENNETT.

ORDINANCE PASSED BY COUNCIL
LAST NIGHT, EFFECTIVE IN
THIRTY DAYS,
THAT CEMETERY OFFER
1t Is Rejected After Careful Considera-
tion-Propostions to Bond City to
Pay for Addition and to Purchase
Auto Truck to Be Submitted Sepa-
rately.

At the meeting of the city council
last evening Mayor Marshall and all
the aldermen were in attendance and
considerable business of Importance
was transacted as well as some mat
ters OF routine.
An ordinance fixing the hours dur
ing which pool rooms may remain
open was passed and will go into ef-
feet in thirty days. The hours for pool
halls will then be the same as for
saloons, both closing at 1 a. m. and
opening at a. m.
Bond Election.
In the matter of the proposition to
issue bonds to the amount of $4,000,
which will be submitted to the voters
in April, it was decided to have two
separate propositions. One will be on
the issue of $4,000 to meet the cost Of
the city hall addition and the other
on the issue of approximately $4,000
Tor the purchase of an auto truck and
hose. Art d'Autremont was appoint
ed registration agent for the bond cleo
tion.

j. E. Lane and A. w. War; were

OF their handsome business block.
Cemetery Proposition.

difficult problem. In placing the depot
on the site chosen the closing of
JaneauA street .runnin g toward the
Catholic church became an absolute
necessity and Father van den Broeck
protested because it would very seri-
ously interfere with the church. The
matter reached somewhat critical
point and the committee then stepped
in with the offer to buy the block on
which the Catholic church stands.
This communication to Father van
den Broeck's reply accepting the Of
fer appear in full on the railway page
OF this issue. Mr.. Waite stated that
the plan of the committee was to form
a corporation for the amount of the
purchase price and instead of asking
any subscriptions, the committee
would ask the people to purchase
shares of the stock and the interest of
each would thus be in exact proper
tion to the amount paid. Mr.. Waite
was satisfied that in couple of years
or so the entire amount would be re-
ceived through the sale of lots and the
several amounts invested would prob
ably be returned in full. The condi-
tions proposed by Father van den
Broeck were satisfactory to the COM
mittee and on his part he had agreed
to give deeds to any of the lots in
case of sale prior to the removal of

SAYS FAREWELL TO
THE STATE SENATE
TOM STOUT MAKES BRIEF AD-
DRESS UPON HIS RETIREMENT
FROM THE LEGISLATURE.

Helena, Feb. Ex-senator Tom
Stout, of Fergus, took leave of his as
sociates this morning. He left for
LewistoWn this evening to settle up
some private business matters and
leave few editorials to keep the pa
per going until he gets his bearings in
Washington, where he hopes to arrive
in time to see how the older hands
do it. Arising in his place, just be-
fore the senate adjourned, he said:
Today marks the close OF my ca
reer as a member of this body, and |
would take this opportunity Of express
ing my regret for having to retire be-
fore the session closes. However, |
am desirous of getting to Washington
before the adjournment of the present
session of congress and this neces-
states my departure from this city to-
morrow.
Il have now served two sessions in
the Montana state senate and they will
ever be held by me as most valuable
and pleasant experience It is no
slight honor to sit in this body and
help to make laws for this wonderful
state of ours and it matters not what
the future may hold in store for me,
in what capacity, public or private,
may be called upon to serve, | shall
ever hold, as one of my most cher
ished possessions, the remembrance
OF the men with whom | have labored
in this service. | have frequently been
in the minority when voting upon
questions calling for a division, but |
have ever recognized that honest men
can have honest differences of opinion
upon almost any conceivable subject
and am willing to grant that those
who have opposed me in the past may
have been right and l wrong on many
OF those occasions.
Flower of Citizenship.
Within short time, l shall take
my seat as member of the congress
OF the United States from Montana.
That body, numbering more than four
men, is presumably made up
OF the very flower of our country citi-
Zenshlp. But | venture to say that,
taken as a whole, they shall not be
more representative, more patriotic
more intensely devoted to the con-
stltuencies which they serve, than are
the men who comprise this body.
The associations formed, the friend
ships cemented, by raeson of my serv-
ices as a member of this body, shall
be priced by me until the end of my
life. At this time, | desire to extend
my heartfelt thanks to our distin-
guished president for his unfailing
courtesy and kindness; to the men,
Der sof the minority side of the house
for their cordial and friendly attitude
ana to my colleagues on my own side
OF the chamber for the honors which
they nave conferred, the sympathy
shown and support accorded. l hold
