'GLENDlvE ORCHESTRA
BEST IN STATE

Perhaps a great many people do not
know it, but it is fact that the Glen
dive Orchestra is considered by those
who know, as one of the best amateur
organizations of its kind In the entire
state.
Not only is the orchestra as q whole
entitled to this distinction, but great
many of it's members are known to be
soloists of real ability. "
No piece is too hard for them to at
tempt and it is greatly to their credit
that this is so, as it tends to give them
a certain degree of confidence in
themselves that they could acquire in
no other way.
The orchestra has received some
we'll merited praise for their really
fine playing at the Arcade Opera
House for both travelling companies
and home talent productions, MOTTO
ably the recent production of Princess
Bulbul, for the benefit Of the Con-
gregational church.
The Christmas dances. both after.
noon and evening. should be well at
tended, as all new music will be play

DAWSON COUNTY HIGH
SCHOOL WINS FROM TERRY

In hard-fought game the local high
school basket ball team defeated the
Terry High School quint last Friday
evening at the old Opera House by
a score of rs to 4. The game was
really closer than the score might in
dicate as Terry showed some pretty
teamwork and close guarding but
proved little shy in caging the ball.
For the Glendive team, Sieg played the
star game, going all over the floor and
shooting baskets as we'll as guarding
his forward closely. Hall at center
and Volse at forward also looked very
promising and ought to develop into
most capable players. Only three fouls
were called during the game. The
teams lined up as follows:

JUDICIAL DISTRICT TO BE SPLIT

It is understood that the members
of the bar associations, at their re-
cent election, voted to split the pres
ent 7th judicial district into two parts,
one to comprise the western and the
other the eastern half of the present
district. 1t is understood that Dawson,
Richland, Wibaux and Fallon counties
will represent the eastern end. The
Monitor has been unable to ascertain
just whose names have been submit
ted to Governor Stewart for the ap-
pointment to the extra district, al
though we are in hopes it will be a
Glendive man. -#
The division of the present district
was made necessary by the formation
of new counties, causing so much
additional work and travel that Judge
Hurley was unable to make the cir
cult in the required length Of time.
Besides this, the number of civil
cases has almost doubled within the
past two or three years, even though
there is still about the same percent
age of criminal cases.

A fatality which closely resembled
that of young Carl Einar Strand

respects, was that of a young laborer
Michael Franks. whose frozen body
was found early Thursday morning
by some railroad section men along
side the railroad track between Allen

The man had evidently been struck
by one of the fast through trains, as
both legs were of and the body bad

AoGGlNG OFF CORN

With corn an assured crop in east
eru Montana, and especially those
varieties known as early flints, the
practice of hogging off is rapidly gain
ing favor among producers of pork
and mutton. Men who have tried this
system the past season realize the
advantage it affords in the saving OF
time and labor. With the maturity OF
the corn practically no further atten.
ton is required in fattening either
swine or sheep.
Mr.. Martin Olmstead, who resides
near Been, Montana, speaking of this
practice, says: while l have not
been able to check up and know the
exact value per acre with this method,
my experience in hogging off corn this
year has been most gratifying. With
thirty head of hogs harvesting their
own feed and making splendid gains,
my small field of eight acres lasted
them six weeks. After turning them
out they shifted for themselves, re-
ceiving no attention and l don't be-
lieve kernel of corn was wasted.
This method has proved successful
with me. intend carrying it out on
a much larger scale next year. My
plan Is to plant about fifteen acres
Of some of the f1ints, Gehu or North
Dakota White, which will be ready for
harvesting by the middle of August.
With another field of some later var
iety maturing the first week in Sep
tember, will have sufficient feed to
fatten my herd. BY dividing the
helds, while the hogs are harvesting
the fiints my later corn will be coming
on. Not only is this method econom-
ical Of time and labor, but it mater
lally benefits the land and leaves the

Much speculation was INDUCED IN
early this morning as to the possible
intentions of L. G. Young, who was
seen walking up and down the main
street with small dressed pig on his
shoulder
Rumor has it that an election bet
was being paid of, but when he was
later seen with the shoat all stuffed
and sewed up as If ready for the oven,
it was assumed that he was looking
for large enough oven in which the
animal could be properly cooked.
