Inter-School Organizations

The schools Of every county
should be organized into an asso-
citation to promote sane athletics
and such subjects as debate,
spelling, recitation and essay. In
this way students are encour-
aged to take part in healthful
play and exercise and to become
proficient in important subjects:
but the greatest gain is in the
school spirit created and the in
terest in school work aroused.
The educational horizon is broad
ened for every little district.
Ravalli county has had such an
organization for four years and
the annual spelling contest at
Victor was famous before the or
ganization of the county asso-
citation. A series of debates and
games are held at the various
small towns during the year, but
the big annual meet is held at
the little town of Victor. All
expenses Of the association are
met by the income of three 25-
cent programs given at the an
nual meet. The admissions have
grown from about 1000 the first
year to more than 2, 600 last year.
From $50 to 175 pupils COM
pete in the various events, in
Guiding the fourteen standard
athletic events, spelling, decla-
nation and essay. The state de-
clamatory for girls has been won
by Ravalli county contestants for
the past two years. The spell
ing contests have had a marked
influence on the spelling in the
county.
The organization of a county
interscholastic should be simple
and can be directed by the coun-
ty superintendent or some pro-
gressive principal in the county.
The author of this article will be
pleased to send to interested
parties information regarding the
details of organization. j. H.

lance, or at all events his can.
didacy must be so extensively
advertised as to promote a gen
eral favorable attitude toward
him. For instance a most worthy
aspirant for state office may be
we'll and favorably known in his
immediate locality but be COM
paratively little known in other
parts of the state.
His may be the predicament of
a dozen men equally worthy but
similarly situated in other parts
of the state. In the congested
centers of population there may
be candidate for the same of
flee, who, by reason of his asso-
Citations and environment will be
enabled to poll an unusually
heavy vote. On election day the
result may be that the dozen
worthy men will each be hand
somely supported in their re-
spective localities, yet neither
will have the necessary plurality
to nominate, whilst the one more
fortunate but less worthy will
get the plum. This is only an
imaginary case, but likely to
happen, especially when it is con-
sidered that anyone may become
a candidate for nomination on
any ticket, without any party in
dorsement whatever, aside from
the few necessary signers to q
petition, and these are not equiv
alent to party Endorsement.
Within the last decade there
undoubtedly has been a ten
dency by all political parties to
place clean tickets in the field.
Each party, jealous of the other,
has done IFS 11trn0ct to panao coD
didates of unquestiona bic integ-
rity and the result has been that
the finger of scorn has seldom
been pointed at any candidate
running for state office. With
the party Endorsement upon
which to stand, it became a ques-
ton Of policy and the man, but
under the new system it may be
a mere question of pot-luck, es-
pecially when it is considered
that our state IS settling very
rapidly and the opportunities of
the new voter to become thor
acquainted with her pub
lie men, and men eligible and de-
serving Of public office, are at
best speculative and unsatisfac-
tory.

LARGE CROWD HEARS SHAW
TContinued from First Page.

FARMERS lIldC there Was no hIION
cure once the disease got into {
herd. but that there were pre-
ventive measures which mini
mixed the scourge. He said that
the best plan was not to visit
other hog pastures and not to al
low other hog raisers to enter the
pens or pastures Of others. The
disease he says is carried by hav-
ing the germs adhere to the shoes
Of persons and being deposited
in other pens in that manner,
He strongly advised quarantining
all hogs brought in for breeding
purposes for full thirty days and
if the disease did not develop in
that period all danger was over.
O. G. Gregg, who made a talk
here once before and who is rec
ognized as one of the best au-
thorities on the dairy COW, gave
the farmers his best method Of
picking out a good milk COW. He
illustrated his remarks by a
blackboard sketch and it is prob
able many prospective buyers
will take his advice in the fu-
ture.
1t has been learned that Prof.
Shaw and Mr.. Gregg differ in the
kind Of COW the farmer should
raise. The former is a staunch
believer in the dual purpose COW
and the latter runs altogether to
milk. In this respect the writer
must side in with Prof. Shaw,
but the farmer will probably fol-
low the one he thinks may be
right. The dual purpose COW
should be one which will give a
profitable amount of milk and
when her usefulness in this re-
spect is past, bring good value
for beef purposes. The strictly
milk cow is valuable only for the
milk she gives and when that
period is past is Of little value.
Prof. Cooley talked on farm
management and told of the re-
suits obtained by the college ex-
pert in his farm surveys the past
season. He said that in one
township where the conditions
of 100 farmers were practically
alike it had been found that Is
per cent were working at a net
loss and Is per cent at a profit.
Some were making a good salary
over and above the running ex-
pense and some were compelled
to draw upon a reserve fund
which would probably be soon
exhausted and the farmer forced
to retire from business.
Others spoke, but the writer
was forced to leave and did not
have the pleasure of hearing
what they had to say. The meet
ing was a success in every way
and the committee of the COM
mercial club which secured the
meeting are to be congratulated
on the result Of their efforts.
Hon. A. J. Brewer presided and
introduced the speakers with ap-
propriate mention of their lines
of talk.
M. L. Dean, state horticulture
alist, and J. c.. Wood of Big
Fork, president of the state hor-
ticultural society, were present.
They have made several trips
over the reservation and have
examined the soil and declare
that the foothills along the Mis-
sion range, in their opinion, are
the best apple and fruit lands to
be found anywhere in the state.
While they are unable to speak
as highly of all the valley, they
are enthusiastic over the portion
mentioned.

TRAMP SHOOTS WOMAN.
Mrs. j. F. ponneIly, of Nahant, Has En-.
counkor With Hobo.

Davenport. Dec. 22---Only the pluck
OF Mrs. j. F. Donnelly of Nahant,
saved her from the rage of a tramp
when the man forced himself into her
home during the absence of her hus-
band and demanded that she allow
him to warm himself. When she re-
sented the intrusion, the tramp attack
ed her and after she had struck him in
the face with a hammer ne secured
possession of revolver and shot Mrs.
Donneily thru the index finger of her
left hand. AS result the woman will
probably lose the finger A posse
which started in immediate search of
the tramp failed to locate him and he
is still at large.
According to the story given by Mrs.
Donnelly she was alone in her home
door and requested permission to warm
himself. Mrs. Donnelly was NOT fav-
orably impressed with his appearance
and told him that she had Just cleaned
the stove and there was little heat In
it. She advised him to go to her
mothers home a few doors away
where she knew there were some men
but he forced his way past her and
sat down near the stove
After he had taken seat he said
to her: you are nice looking lady,
and tried to catch hold of her She
picked up a hammer near her and
struck him in the face with it. caus-
Ing him to take his hands away bu,
with curse he tried to grab her
again. Mrs. Donnelly screamed and
ran to another room where she Sc
cured her husbands revolver. When
she came from the other room her as.
sailant was wipng the blood from his
face. but when he saw the gun he
| made a rush and secured possession
of it. In the struggle that followed
Mrs. Donnelly was shot thru the finee,
and the man dashed out the door.
