How to Clean a Violin Bow.

If your bow is at all greasy, it may

Short Courses in Agriculture

Big plans are being made for the

it is expected that a large number OF
farmers and their wives will take a
weeks recreation to accumulate new

and domestic science, according tc
F. B. Lintield, head of the experiment
station.
The program for these special
courses has been practically com

made to bring II speakers of national
reputation into the state during the
institute.
Much interest is being shown in the
production of corn in Montana, Mr.
Lintield says, and he confidently be

corr will be grown in most of the
valleys of the state. Twenty varieties
have been planted in eastern Nor

Ladimer Chadek, a neighbor, went
to the Schudar ranch to get potatoes
and became involved in an alteration
with Schudar. The latter ran into
the house to get a gun, and while
his wife and son e trying to pre-.
vent him from carrying out his pur'
pose, Chadek ran towards home.
Schudar passed him in a buggy,
shooting at him, and finally catching
up with him. he tied his hands and
feet and told his son that he was
going to drag Chadek to DEATH, and
him and his mother also. The boy
then shot his father to death to pro.

Montana's Population Increased

Montana's population has increased
more than $4,000 since the govern.
ment ensus of 1910, and is now in
excess of 100000 people, If an esti-
mate based or a school census taken
in each county is correct.
J. M. Kennedy, commissioner of az
riculture and publicity, has for sew
eral weeks been gathering from the
various counties figures showing the
school census, which he will incorpor-
ate in this annual report, and a COM
pilation of the figures brings the total
census of the treasure state to 114,-
900 children. This total is approx.
mately correct, in the opinion of Mr..
Kennedy.
Using the same basis of calculating
the total population from the school
census which is used by directory
companies, Mr.. Kennedy estimates
that the population of the state is not
far from $4,000, and may reach 525,
900.
Taking the United States as 9
whole, five people comprise the aver
age family. In Montana, however
where there are SO many bachelors
and SO many young men who have
been attracted by the possibilities
which the broad fields, the cities ant
the mines offer, the average is about
four and one-half to the family, which
verify the estimates made by Mr.
| Kennedy.
Mr.. Kennedy has also taken coca
/ sion to inquire from commercial clubs
| city clerks, and other town and coun
ty officials, as to the population of the
state, and all are unanimous in thu
| opinion that the population is in ex
cess of 100000.

AS to Direct Government.

There is no more direct reason that
the average citizen should govern him
self as the saying is, directly, than that
he should make his own shoes and
clothes. More than that. Democracy, in
regard to which there is today so much
foolish talk, does not contemplate any
such thing. Recent sta istics have con-
clusively proved that the multiplication
either of elections or of the subjects to
be voted on resuls in a great decrease in
the size of the vote cast. Men must have
time to attend to their own affairs. aid
even the most patriotic of them find it
impossible to get time for a detailed
consideration Of public matters. They
are willing and eager to vote for certain
great political principles. and to decide
as to who is tho best man to carry them
into effect. AS to the rest they turn it
over to their representatives and agents
precisely as they hire tailors to make
their clothes and shoemakers to make
their shoes.
The theory that every man must do
everything for himself. whether it be in
politics or in the ordinary management
of his life, belongs wholly to the prim
tive days before there were any such
thing as the division of labor or the sep
aration OF enployments. we are being
more and more forced to act through
our agents, And there IS no reason
whatever to think that different rule
can be applied in politics. The question
is of getting honest and efficient agents,

Men Who Won't Work.

Keeping Down Public Expenses

stop reckless expenses" is cry that
has greeted probably every adminlstra'
ton that has just come into Office in
American state or municip lity. The de
mand for economy is one of the phono-
graphic shoutings of campaigns and there
citizens in every community whose desire
for public economy is so sustaining that
they demand it at other times than those
OF political excitement.
Unfortunately, every pleading for econ
emy comes in conflict with at least two
energetic and enthusiastic movements
for expenditures. And usually the louder
force wins. For it is more difficult for
any administration to withstand criti-
cisms as to failure to make improve
ments, hasten to the rescue of sections in
trouble or discomfort and 10 keep public
property in repair and in harmony with
growing needs than il is TO withstand
criticisms as TO dipping too freely into the
public purse No American community
has come within sight of the end Of pub
lie undertakings requiring much money.
and probably that vision will not be
vouchsafed for long time to come.
More money" is louder cry than
stop reckless expenditures"
Keeping down expenses IS the mos
vexatious of labors. and it is easy to see
why many public officers give the task NC
and let costs fall how they may. Never
theIess, the demand for economy viii
have to be met. For there must be 3
day of reckoning for the vast accumula.
ton of bonds for winch the republic i:

There was time when the farmer,
who owned Ioo or 200 acres of land could
not raise bees cattle successfully in COM
petition with the big cattle ranches of the
Western prairies. On the ranches there
were 10000 to 20 600 cattle in single
herds at times, and the cost of feeding
them amounted TO but very little.
Bntit is all different now, and the
farmer with fifty acres of arabic lands
may raise beef cattle with good profit.
