Are Stalking Out
Political Claims
Local Citizens Listen to
Siren Call and File
Petitions

Interest in the primary cleo
tion is commencing to heighten
with the approach of election
date, August 25th, and during
the present week Cut Bank
politicians have become quite
active, urging local citizens to
en.or the race and filing peti-
tions for precinct committee
men.
During the week three local
ems staked out claims on
olitical placer field-Martin
Jacobson for the office Of county
commissioner, Irwin C. Kartack
for representative from Toole
county and John w. Coburn for
county attorney.
Jacobson consented to be a
caTd late for commissioner
after a number of local citizens
visit ! him and strongly urged
that he allow his name to be
placed on the lists. Mr.. Jacob
son has a strong following in
all parts of Teton county and
it was learned that sentiment
at Choteau, Waller, and other
strong republican precincts WI
very favorable toward .om- s
tering the race. Local frlenIs
circulated his petition at home
and secured sufficient signatures
in short time. Friends in the
other five precincts necessary
are looking after the circulation
of the petitions and they will
be filed with the county clerk
some time this week.
Before leaving for Seattle,
Saturday, John w loburn,
authorized his friends to cir
culate petitions for his condid-
acy for county attorney. Early
this week a boom was started
in the southern part of the
county for the Cut Bank law
yer for the office of representa-
tive. AS his petitions for the
office of county attorney have
not yet been filed the matter
will be held in allegiance until
he returns home and arrives at
a decision as to which of the
Offices he will become a candi-
date for.
Atty. |. c. Kartack decided to
become a candidate for the
legislature from Toole county
after a number of Pleasant
Valley neighbors called and
proffered support. There are
two republican aspirants for the
office in Toole county and the
aggressive young Cut Bank at
torney, whose homestead is in
Toole county, feels that his
chances are pretty good in a
three-cornered contest.

Says Small Farm
is Less Efficient
Expert From the BOzeman
College Submits a
Report

After making a detailed in
vestigation of fifty farms in the
Gallatin valley, E. L. Currier,
assistant in farm management
at the agricultural college,
reaches the conclusion that the
average farm is too small a
business enterprise to be operat-
ed most efficiently and with
greatest profit to the owner.
The most profitable farms were
over 20 per cent larger than the
least profitable ones.
Other conclusions reached by
the investigators were as fol-
lows:
Stock and Grain.
"A large majority of the bet
ter farms were stock and grain
farms. A correSpondingly large
majority of the poorer were
grain farms. Grain crops COM
bined with stock seem to be
much more profitable than eth
er grain or stock alone.
THE more successful farms
are much more diversified than
the less successful. There are
Al important sources Of income
on the former and only 81 on
the latter.
THE crop yields were on the
average 22.8 per cent better on
the successful farms than on
the other. This was not due to
a greater original fertility of the
soil but to a better system of
soil management made possible
by a more diversified agriculture.
The better farms have much
more livestock than the poorer
ones. On the former there is
one animal unit to each acre.
On the poorer farms there is
one animal unit to every 11.9
acres. The poorer farms do not
have enough stock to utilize all
OF the low grade and waste
products.
"Dairying seems to be given
much more promine- ce on the
more profitable farms. Almost
half of them had dairy products
as an important source of in
come, while on the poorer farms
only 8 per cent report dairying
as an lmortant source of income.
Almost one-third of the bet
ter farms had sheep, while on
only one of the others were any
sheep. A number of sheep can
be kept on any farm at small
cost. They utilize a lot of low
grade feed that would otherwise
be wasted.
The questions of labor utili-
zation is a serious one in the
valley. Every farmer should
study his farm practice with
the idea of creating as constant
a demand for labor as possible
throughout the year.

PAPER PEOPLE
ARE AFTER THE
EVENING NEWS
INTERNATIONAL PAPER COM
PANY CLAIMS RAW MATERIAL
IN WAREHOUSE OF THE NEWS
-MATTER WAS CARRIED BE-
FORE JUDGE SHEPPARD.

Another chapter was added to the
troublous history Of the Pensacola
News, which recently went into the
hands of a receiver, when on yetser-
day a representative Of the Interna-
tional Paper Company, Of Atlanta, ap-
peared in Per sacola and demanded the
paper now stored in the warehouse of
the Government street publication.
The News now has on hand several
car loads of raw paper. When the
receiver, n. J. Lillard, refused to allow
Mr. Mansfield, of the white paper COM
pany, to move the paper. the matter
was taken before Judge w. 3. Shep-
pard. Of the United States co(rt. The
court held that if Mr.. Mansfield and
his com oany could show a legal claim
to the paper at any time IN the near
future. the receiver must pay the com
pany for the paper. In the meantime
the paper must remain in the News
warehouse and the receiver is in
structed to keep a strict account Of
all paper used from this date on.
The Interna tionaI Paper Co. claims
that c. r. Hanson, publisher of the
News at the time Of the purchase of
the raw paper, misrepresented the
state of affairs in Pensacola, and that
the white paper was obtained on fales
pretenses.

According to the Shipping Illus

already feeling the effects of the fail

Shipping Illustrated correspondent at
Gulfport states that decreases in ex-
ports have already occurred as a re

show a revival further decreases will
be noted, The Shipping Illustrated has
the following in its last issue:

Stacking up and indications are unless
foreign orders show an unexpected

will occur.
The failure of Crow Randolph &
Co. and the consequent suspension Of

Pensacola which has recently closed

falling off in the Liverpool and Euro

THE TARPON co.
FINED $500
OLD CASE OF GOVERNMENT VS.
p. ST. A. G. G. STEAMSHIP COR
PORATION SETTLED-ENTERE
HARBoR WHICH HAD BEEN
CLOSED BY SECRETARY OF
WAR.

The case of the United States VS.
the Pensacola, st. Andrews and Gulf
Steamship Company, charged with
having violated an order of the seCre-
tary of war, to wit, entering a harbor
which had been ordered closed, was
finally disposed of yesterday when
Judge W. B. Sheppard fined the steam
ship company $25.
1t was alleged that the coastwise
steamer Tarpon entered the Apalachi-
cola harbor while two Gredge boats
were at work there and after the war
department had ordered that no yes
sci enter. 1t was said that the ap-
paratus of one OF the dredges was
slightly damaged by the Tarpon. The
cause for so light d fine was the fact
that one of the dredges signaled the
Tarpon to come ahead after the
Tarpon had blown the usual salute to
the dredge. The judge sustained the
prosecution, which was conducted by
Assistant District Attorney Phillip
Beall, through in the case. The $25
fine was promptly paid.
