Conference On Agriculture.

A meeting of superintendent of the
district agricultural schools was held
in Saltwater February 9 for the pur-
pose of a conference in the effort to
establish uniform system of teaching
in the district schools. 1t is the de-
sire to secure the proper credits from
each of the district schools for the
convenience of students entering the
agricultural college at Saltwater. 1t
is the purpose to so unity the courses
in the district schools that pupils of
any one of the schools can advance to
the same point before entering the
higher school.

Sees Good outlook for Business

Sir George Paish, the noted English
economist, who was in this country a
few weeks ago. looks for a recovery
of business here, for the reduction OF
the tariff and the new banking and
currency act are calculated to benefit
trade. When the first difficulties OF
the reduction of the tariff are over
come American manufacturers will be
able to compete with foreigners much
better than formerly. while the new
banking law ought to give a great
stimulus to foreign trade in every d.
rection." 1t will be observed that Sir,
George does not agree with our great
Philadelphia authority, Hon. Boies
Penrose, and the other distinguished
citizens who favored the Terrapin club
with their views the other evening.
Still, 1t is possible that the English
man knows what he is talking about.
From past experience with our senior
senator and his fellow economists the
presumption is that their opinions are
based more upon ignorance and parti-
san feeling than upon careful study OF
the facts.-Philadelph Record

Must Eject Them Gently.

A railway company in Oklahoma
has a perfect right to eject from its
trains a person who is not a pas
senger, but when such violence is
used that 1t causes the person elected
to turn a somersault down a thirty
foot embankment, the company be-
comes liable for injuries resulting
therefrom. Such is the holding of
the supreme court commission, di'
vision No 2, affirming a $1,945 judg-
ment against the Rock Island and in
favor of Charley Evans of Holdenville.
Evans was sent to the sanitarium for
the insane at Norman three months
after his election from a Rock Island
train in May, 1909. The suit was in
stituted and prosecuted by c. T.
Evans, his father.
Evans was 10 years old at the time
of the trouble with the train officials.
He boarded a Rock Island train at
Holdenville for the purpose of collect
ing debt from passenger. The two
became engaged in a controversy.
They became boisterous and were dis
turbing other passengers. The train
started out on it's journey. About five
miles out of Holdenville the conduct
or attempted to quiet the two men.
The train auditor put in his appear
ance and asked Evans for his ticket,
but Evans said he was not going any
where. that he had no money. 1t took
hor1 Ruht IN aiant him
Judge Galbreath, who wrote the
opinion, held that the company had
the right to eject Evans, but when
one of it's agents used wilful and I'M
necessary violence against him, the
company was liable for any personal
injury resulting therefrom.

THE SEED BED
MORE IMPORTANT IN OKLAHOMA
THAN ANYWHERE ELSE
IN THE COUNTRY
DEEP PLOWING is A NECESSITY
The Disc Pillow is the Most Practical
Implement, as II Turns, Pull
verizes and Mixes at one
Operation

In no section of the country does a
well prepared seed-bed give better re.
turns than in Oklahoma. The best
spring preparation of the soil is prac-
tically impossible unless it has been
properly turned and deeply broken
during the previous summer or fall.
The necessity for deep blowing in
the south is probably not realized by
those who are not familiar with the
heavy rainfalls in this section, which
frequently packs and runs the par
ticles of soil together so as to exclude
air and sunshine The absence of
freezing prevents any loosening up of
the PARTICLES, besides in many places
there is an almost impervious hard
pan of subsoil, either natural or
brought about from a continuous Gus
tom of shallow blowing. In other Sec
lions this deepening and loosening of
the soil is done partly at least by
the forces Of nature but can only be
accomplished by the pillow in the south.
Such are the findings of the Depart
ment of Agriculture.
The best implement for deep break
ing of the soil is the disc pillow which
turns, pulverizes and mixes at the
same time, When properly adjusted
the disc breaks the land deeply and
thoroughly loosens it, mixing this soil
and the subsoil to some extent but

The pension system which politics
has builded up under Republican rule
is like carbuncle that is ripe for
lancing. 1t is fat with corruption.
The manner in which theft has been
encouraged through the pension sys-
TEN reflects the same spirit of ex-
ploitation that animated the drafting

When the Democrats get around to IT

Phillips Clip Sold at 20 Cents.

One of the biggest wool sales of the
season and one which brought as high
price as has been paid for Montana
wool this year was made yesterday by
B. d. Phillips, one of the leading
stockmen of northern Montana. Mr..
Phillips arrived in the city yesterday
from his home at Phillips postoffice,
in the eastern part of Blaine county
south of Dodson, and within a few
hours after his arrival he had conclu-
ded deal with Joe Streng, of Else
man Bros, for the disposal OF his wool
clip at 20 cents per pound.
Mr.. Phillips clip will be one of the
largest in northern Montana, it con-
sisting of about $4,000 heeces which
will aggregate about 100000 pounds
Shearing of this clip will commence
about June 10. MI. Phillips states
that while on the way to this city from
his ranch he noticed that all the coun-
try traversed by the Great Northern
has been afforded most excellent rains
and that water was standing in the
streets of many of the towns he passed
through. He looks for fine harvests
in this section of the country.-Great

600. There are still other contracts
which have not been completed and
which call for sums larger by far, in
the aggregate, than the last two men
toned.
Some time ago, for organization
purposes, the Milk River project was
divided into three divisions, all east
of the st. Mary storage feature. The
first is called the Havre division, or
the Chinook unit which extends along
the valley from Yantic to the Dodson
diversion dam. The second is from
the Dodson to the Vandalia dam and
is called the Malta division, and the
third and last is the Glasgow, which
is all the project east of the Vandalia
dam. The Nelson reservoir will be
located in the Malta division.
Some other advice from Washington
was transmitted to the supervising
engineer yesterday that means in
creased building activity in this part
of the country. Supervising Engineer
Savage was authorized to purchase
control gates for the Shoshone reser-
voir which will cost shout $35, 600.
These gates will have capacity to

ond at head of 210 feet. Work ON

soon as possible and will be rushed to
an early completion.

Barb-Wire Cuts.

When barb-Wire is used the wires
should be kept taut, not too close to
the ground, and should have few
cross-stays, and the posts should not
be too far apart. This greatly reduces
the number of cuts. 1t is the low,
slack wires, or junk-heap of barb
wire, which causes most of the trou-
bic. Woven wire at the bottom OF a
fence is a big protection. Some men
claim that they made the price of the
woven wire the first year they used it
on grain fields just by keeping bunch
OF hogs and giving them free run.
In treating wire cuts, first stop
bleeding by plenty of bandaging. The
next day take some hot water in a tea
kettle, cotfee-pot or fountain syringe,
pour it over the wound, soften the
bandage and clean the wound with
soap. Clip the long hair from the
edges of the wound and apply some
good antiseptic, as tincture of iodine
and glycerine, equal parts. Use a
dry busting powder such as boric
acid, camphallum, OF other standard
makes. Change every few days to
iodine. If the wound discharges wipe
it out with clean cotton and put Oh Il
fresh dressing, but do not wash it
after the first time unless it becomes
very foul. The average wash h-basin
and sponge adds infection to the
wound.
Get the horse on clean pasture as
soon as possible and away from dark,
dirty barn and yard. Very bad
wounds may need bandaging. If SO,
use fresh dressing twice a day to be
sure that no discharge collects.-W.

Summer School.

The summer season at the Univer-
sity of Montana opened Monday for
what promises to be the most success
full term ever held. The success of
the summer school last year is fresh
in the minds of those in charge of the
work here and they have made plans
which make for much higher STAN
dard in the summer session work. It
is predicted, from the preliminary
registration that at least 800 teachers
from all parts of Montana, and, in
fact, all parts of the United States,
will be here.
The University Summer School this
year will give all the courses which
will be of benefit to the teachers of
all grades and schools in the country,
and have planned, also, many special
courses, which have been requested.
For the entertainment of the sum-
mer session students, the University
School of Music has planned a series
of muiicales which will be given
throughout the summer, probably
twice each week. Special lecturers
will be brought to Missoula from
many parts of the United States, and
the program of the school also in
cludes lectures by men OF internation-
al reputation-resident of this county
and from abroad.
For the teachers who desire to spec
ialiZe in the work known as Method,
there will be "live" laboratories.
These laboratory periods will consist
of the summer students instructing
children of Missoula who will take
special work at the University.

M'CARTY ESTATE MUST

Judge Decides Senator Transferred
= Property to Escape

Justice Manning In the Supreme Court

Senator John McCarty. who died In
1895. transferred his vast properties to
his sister, Sara. who died In 1907, with
the purpose and design OF avoiding the
payments Of debts he had contracted.

clus!on OF the trial OF the suit OF James
X. o. Sherwood AGAINST Joseph F. Me-
Clean, executor of the will OF Sara Me-
Carly.
Mr.. Sherwood IL the assignee OF n
Judgment amounting TO tSo.g73. OF
which he became possessed by purchase
In 1902. The evidence given In the
suit showed. In the Judgment OF Justice
Manning, that Mr.. Sherwood believed
Senator McCsrty TO be possessed OF an
ample fortune ana expected that his
claim would be settled In full.
But when Senator McCarty died his
estate totailed up only about s2,3o0.
Justice Manning said In his decision
that Joseph MCLEAN. the defendant in
the suit, being conversant with the
inner details Of Senator McCarty's
business, knew that the property
possessed by sara McCarty did not be-
long to her. but to her brother. The
Court directs that MCLEAN pay the
