At the meeting of state and
county school superintendents at
Helena, November 25th, it was
decided to continue industrial
contests among boys and girls
between the ages of twelve and
eighteen as heretofore.
These contests will consist of
making and exhibiting a corset
cover for the girls, growing corn
and exhibiting ten ears by boys
in Yellowstone, Custer, Dawson,
Rosebug and Big Horn counties,
and growing potatoes and exhib-
iting twelve specimens by boys
in the other counties of the state.
The girl and the boy in each
county winning the first prize
will be entitled to a free trip to
Helena in September to the state
fair, where meals, lodging, and
instruction in stock judging and
home science will be given free.
The industrial contests are un-
der the local management of
county superintendent of schools
and school teacher. The general
arrangements at the state fair are
under direction of F. s. Cooley,
superintendent of boys and girls

JOHN T0OTHMAN DROPS
DEAD YESTERDAY MORNING

John Tooohman, aged 67 years,
dropped dead in the yard near
his home yesterday morning
about s o'clock. He had been in
his usual health and had been
out to feed his chickens and was
returning to the house when
stricken. Mrs. Toothman dis
covered him and notified l.. M.
Farnham and L. l.. Mcconnell
and they summoned DR.. Fuhrer
who pronounced him dead after
an examination. He was carried
to the house and his son, George
w. Toothman who lives west of
the Round Butte, notified by
telephone.
The deceased has been living
here since early in the spring Of
1913, coming here from Southern
California along with his wife
and daughter Mrs. C. E. Confer,
who a short time ago returned to
Long Beach, Calf.
Funeral arrangements have
not been made as yet, pending
word from the immediate family.
He was a man of considerable
property. having a large farm in
Iowa besides other interests.
With those whom he was ac-
quainted he was highly respected
but being of a retiring DISPOSE
tion had not made a very wide

the greatest source Of damage of
any of the many problems which
confront the farmer on irrigated

vantage and get rid of it in an
equally successful manner has
taken much thought and has not

worked out and those who are to

ADVICE FOR THE PROFIT.
ABLE PRODUCTION OF HOGS

ITO produce pork profitably,
hogs must be fed and Craze con-
tinuously on pastures and crops
particularly planted for them, "
is the advice of experts of the
farmers cooperative branch of
the Bureau of Plant Industry,
Department of Agriculture.
"Very seldom is the growing of
hogs for slaughter a source of
profit unless proper grazing and
feeding methods are followed.
In the spring, summer, and
fall there are many crops for
pasturing hogs, but during the
winter the crops to select from
are limited. On almost every
farm the production and keeping
Of hogs in the winter is expens-
i've and generally it is not pro-
fitable for the reason that large
quantities of corn are fed with
out the products Of green crops.
More winter grazing is needed,
for which many crops are
adapted. The most reliable are,
however, rape, rye, oats, wheat,
and barley. 1t is not too late to
plant these crops and in most
sections of the south this is the
best season.
For grazing purposes these
pasturing crops for hogs should
be sown on specially drained and
prepared land that is either rich
or has received a liberal applica-
ton of manure. Good winter
pasturage is not obtained except
on the best-drained lands.
THE seeding should be heavy
to insure a thorough planting.
The young plants will grow

HELLO TO THE DISTRICT

Louis LaMoose was arrested
near Arlee last Friday by Con-
stable VIM. Engle under a war;
rant issued by Justice Bailey,
charging him with grand lar
ceny. by reason of stealing a
horse belonging to Louis Adams.
1t seems that LaMoose stole the
horse and sold it to Hugh Muir
ply when along comes Adams
and claims the animal.
LaMoose was arraigned last
Saturday in Roman and after
hearing the testimony Justice
Bailey held the defendant to
answer the charge in the district
court and committed him to the
Missoula county Jail in default of
bail. Constable Engle took La
Moose to Missoula that evening
and delivered him to the sheriff.

Luke McLuke Says:

We would all be milionaires if We
were as much interested in our owl
business as we are in that of other
people.
What has become of the old fashioned
man who wore a carved peach stone or
his watch chain?
Every middle aged woman knows
that they don't make as good mirrors
nowadays as they did when she was q
girl.
The more relatives a man has the
more he likes strangers.
Every now and then you see girl
with lO-cent face who is wearing a
I lO-dolar hat
may be mistaken about the junk
! they are wearing around their nccks
these days, but it looks to me as if a
girl can take the Battenburg scarf off
the bedroom dresser and hang it over
her coat collar and be right in style,
,, Then she can pin two crochetcd doilies
| in the cuffs of her coat and turn uj her
nose at the world.
Nothing ever goes to waste in this
world. They are using the old fash
ioned wooden pie plates for buttons on
women's winter coats.
When a girl is sloppy she is hopeless.
Ii her shoes are run over at the heels
you'll find that her hair is struggling
down her neck and her hat looks as
though the cat had used it for a bed
woman whose eyes are SO weak
that she can't read without glasses,
can look at another woman on the
street and tell whether the other
woman's union suit is made of cotton
or mixed cotton and silk.
The reason a girl doesn't like to wear
a skirt that is too tight across the hips
is because a fish gets so tired of swim
ming that it likes to get into the net.
The old fashioned woman who used
to drain the frying pans into jar and
used the grease over and over again
for months now has daughter who
fries stuff in butter that costs so cents
a pound and kicks about the high cost
Of living.
And the reason a girl likes to have
skinny props is because her grand
mother stays out all night and sets fire
to orphan asylums.
A man will take a drink himself
every now and then and think nothing
Of it. But as soon as he smells booze
on another mans breath he loses con-
fidence in him.

have to stay at home after school and
hold skein of yarn on his hands while
his mother wound it into a big ball

a car of 2-year olds of the same

$13.25 and the 2-year olds at
$11.80 per hundred. In telling
of this event the Inter Ocean
says:
In the car lot classes Escher &
Ryan of Irwin, Iowa, practically
duplicated their big winnings of
1911, taking both sweepstakes
and reserve championship honors
the highest honors going to their
load of fancy 1, 100 pound Angus

their l, 495 pound 2-year olds, the
former selling at $13.25 per hum
dredweight and the latter at
$11.S0 per hundredweight in the
auction sale of show cattle.
These prices stand against $14
for the Grand Champion load,
shown by E. P. Hall last year,
and $l5.75 for the Escher &
Ryan load of Champion doddies
that took first money in the In
ternational of 1911.
AS an indication of the sound
argument of the ''baby beef"
doctrine, the feeders, Escher &
Ryan, give out information that
is convincing.
During the last six months of
the feeding period this grand
champion load of babies" gained
one-half pound per day more than
their older brothers in the same
feed lot. Both lots were of the
same blood and had the same
feeding.
At weaving time this bunch of
calves averaged 450 pounds, and

This molasses," said Mr..

water into them if they are to
make satisfactory gains. We

THE TIME
ON SUSPENDED ENTRIES

During the past two weeks
many meetings have been held
in various parts of the reserva-
tion protesting to the Secretary
of the Interior against the high
apraisement made on the lands
by the late commission which
worked here during the past two
years. In every instance it has
been the unanimous expression
that the appraisement was out of
reason and not made in accord
ance with the facts. The land
in many cases in now appraised
at a greater value than patented
lands can be bought outright,
with much of it improved,
Word was received in Poison
this week by wire from the
Department in which the Poison
committee was informed that
the time would be extended for
the payment of the first one
third of the purchase price,
pending an investigation of the
charges of over valuation. This
is good news to many of those
who have waited so long to Sc
secure approved entries and now
find themselves unable to pay
the exhorbitant appraisal.
A meeting was held in Roman
Wednesday and a committee
composed of D. N. Mason and
Geo. Covalt was appointed to
draft resolutions expressing the
sentiment of the people in this
vicinity who are interested in
this matter. This committee will
submit the result of their labor
.at~an early date. .a..s
There can be no dispute as to
the generalization made by the
commission. Many instances can
be given where decided land can
be bought for much less per acre
than these lands are now ap-
praised at. In some cases the
suspended entrymen have inn
proved their holdings and it
looks like they are being charged
for what work and labor they
have done on the land. Many of
them have done so much they
can not relinquish now and this
makes it doubly hard on them.
1t has been suggested that a new
commission be appointed, and
Hon. Josiah Shull and Hon. Robt.
