More Prizes Make More cortestant

In general it is better to offer many
small prizes than few large ones. If
20 boys try for a prize and only one
is fortunate, some of the 10 unsuc-
cessful contestants will probably be
too discouraged to try again. But II
five of the boys are rewarded for
their efforts more merit will have re-
ceived recognition and the remaining
Is will see more possible opportuni-
ties of success the following year.
Some board of trade and chambers
of commerce have also recognized the
efforts of the clubs by giving ban
Quets for the young people and enter
tanning them with street car and auto
mobile rides. On other occasions
clubs have been honored by an inyi.
tation TO march in parades. where
they have attracted deserved atten'
tion.

Would Change School System.

According to advices from Helena,
a new system of administering the af
fairs of school districts, except those
of the first and second class, will be
proposed to the legislature this winter
in a bill which will be presented at
the request of State Superintendent
Davee.
The measure will provide for the
county unit system. The system con.
templates a county board Of education
and instead of the money for the sup
port OF schools being appropriated as
now, on the basis of the amount raised
in each district, it would be apportion
ed either on a basis of so much pei
teacher, or average daily attendance
or school population.
The present district school trustees
would be succeeded by a county boarG
of five members and, instead of there
being a county superintendent there
would be a superintendent of ri
raj schools. District school trustees
would be elected as at present, bu,
they would serve in an advisory ca
pacity to the county board, the latter
having general control and manage
ment of the schools of the county.

Profitable Farm MANAGEMENT.

Farm surveys, made in many Sec
tons of the country. have shown farm
management to be the reason for sue
cess. In a Gallatin valley survey one
farm showed $4,000 profit and another
$1,000 less. Twenty-Five farms aver
aged 1882 profit. while % others
showed an average loss of $500. These
farms were side by side under SINH
lar conditions of soil. climate, markets,
etc. The difference came through
planning and management.
The records taken show reasons for
the difference in labor income. These
reasons are simple and within the con-
troll of farmers. The study of farm
management is more important than
the study of crops and livestock. Mon
tana has a farm management special
iSt-H. B.. CannOn-whO is working

Local Grain Quotations.
Death Of Bear Paw Resident,

After suffering for years from a
malady hat was diagnosed as cancer
of the stomach, Chris Ruhe, of War
rick, passed away Saturday night at
the Sanitarium. The patient came
here for treatment about two weeks
ago, but his physicians were of the
opinion at that time that the sickness
was near a fatai termination and his
friends were advised to that effect.
Mr.. Ruhe died q few hours before
his SD birthday, which would have
been Sunday, December q. Arriving
from Germany in the later eighties,
Mr.. Ruhe was located for some time
inDenisOn. Iowa, and about twenty
five years ago came from that place to
northern Montana and engaged in
%ranching and the livestock business
near Warrick. In company with his
brother, Mr.. Ruhe was among the early
settlers in that part of the Bear Paw
country, and had a wide acquaintance
throughout the surrounding country.
Mr.. Ruhe is survived by a brother
and a wife and three children, to
whom sympathy is extended by a large
number of friends.

Miles City, Dec. 26.-The party of

who went to St. Paul with cavalry and
artillery horses, disposed of the whole
lot, 800 head, to Captain LaStrange,
the representative of the French gov
eminent, who has been in the north
west buying horses. No trouble what
ever was found in disposing of the
horses as by previous experience the
Montana dealers, who are all patrons
of the horse sales yards here, knew
just what kind of animals would be ac-
cepted and did not burden themselves
with any others. 1t appears that the
Italian government is also in the mar

Would License Land locators.

The enactment of a statute providing
for the licensing of land locators, the
license to be issued for a nominal fee,
with provisions for its revocation in
case OF fraud, and strong penalties for
the collection of a lOcator's fee by any
person not the holder of such a license,
is urged by Commissioner J. NJ. Kenne-
dy of the department of agriculture
and publicity in his biennial report.
"The method of actually placing the
incoming settler upon vacant public
land is not entirely satisfactory says
Commissioner Kennedy. while the
land office records and plats are open
to public inspection, the ordinary
homeseeker is not sufficiently familiar
with the topography o. q country to
find a vacant tract o. and from the
data given him by the land office re-
cords. In the great majority of instan-
ces the hOmeseeker is compelled to
call upon professional l%ocators. who,
for a substantial fee, place the settler
upon a vacant tract. While it is only
fair to say that the majority of men
engaged in land locating in Montana
are honorable in their dealings with
the new settler, a number of cases of
fragrant misrepresentation, resulting
in rank injustice, and in some cases in
severe hardship. have been reported.
Some criminal prosecutions have been
had on these cases. but this has not
resulted in giving the settler the de-
sired relief"

The Fort Benton flour contribution
for the relief of destitute victims of

yesterday, the consignment consisting
of 500 sacks. 1t was intended to make
the shipment a little larger than that
amount, but as the railroads are with
drawing their offer of free transporta-
ton it was necessary to forward the
contribution at once. If there is no de-
mand for freight charges. there will be
a cash balance of about 1925 in the To-
cal relief fund, which will be sent to
the Red Cross organization to be ap-
piled to the purchase of food supplies.
