dreds who came by special train
from the eastern cities of the state
1t was agricultural day and eastern
Montana day, and the fasteners
turned out in force.
Perfect weather greeted them. The
sun shone brightly from a cloudiess
sky all day, but a cool breeze kept the
air fresh. Similar weather is promised
for tomorrow.
The announcement of partial awards
in several classes, was II of the
features of the day. All of the iudg
ments recorded were in featureless
classes, however. None of the big
awards have yet been made.
Eastern Montana exhibitors were
easy winners in the grains and seed
classes, but Missoula county surprised
the state by walking away with most
OF the premiums in the forage and
sheaf class.
Montana stock more than held its
own end against heavy competition,
winning most of the prizes in those
departments in which awards have
been made.

Hartman of Bozeman took second
prize. and T. T. Nash third.

ton of the several displays before
they were able to choose the winner.
For his display Mr.. Sumner gets a
splendid automobile, but of more con-
sequence is the distinction of having
eXcelled in competition with growers
of the best wheat ever exhibited at
a Montana fair.
All previous attendance records
were broken today when more than
10000 people passed through the
gates. The day was delightfully."- warm.

government figures, has been from
$50, 900. 900 to 10000, 900 bushels, a
So per cent advance for the ten-year

worlds sweepstakes at the National
Corn Show in 1913 and many other OF
the best prizes so far offered.

Equal Rights For Women,

The cause Of woman suffrage was
presented to the voters Of this yicini
ty Wednesday evening in an interest.
ing address by Mrs. Grace B. Cotterill
of Seattle, at a public meeting held in
the city park, at which there was a
good sired audience. The speaker was
introduced by Mayor F.. E. Stranahan
with a few remarks pertinent to the
occasion, in which the Montana citi-
zen's traditional respect for women
and love OF justice were urged as
reasons for believing that equal rights
OF suffrage will soon prevail in the
Treasure state.
Mrs. COtterill's address was inter-
spersed with descriptions of the de-
plorable conditions under which wom-
en- and children earned a living in
some parts of the country, and the
speaker explained that it was difficult
to secure ameliorati0n of these hard
ships because ONE were denied the
right to protest at the ballot box. The
word Suffrage" was defined as the
voice of the people. but Mrs. Cotterill
submitted that by excluding women
from participating in elections the
! voice of only part of the people is
heard.
The speaker made an eloquent plea
for equal rights to all American citi.
zens without regard to sex, declaring
that no reasonable objection can be
made to placing American women up
on an equality with American men in
exercising the privileges conferred by
American citizenship.
At the close of her address,, Mrs.
Cotterill invited questions from the
audience upon any matter relating to
woman suffrage, and with ready wit
made effective reply to several queries
that were presented.
The purpose of the meeting was to
promote the success of the proposed
suffrage amendment to the state con-
stitution, which will be submitted to
Montana voters at the general election
in November.

supported, as it would appear, in the
mold formed by the decay of the
trunk on which it had sprouted; but
this being insufficient, it has sent
down large bundle of roots to the
ground, within the shell of the oak.
These roots have now increased so
much in size that, as they do not sub
divide until they nearly reach the
ground, they look like so many small
trunks. In the soil, however, toward
which they directed themselves, there
was large stone about foot square,
and, had their direction remained un-
changed, they would have grown own
upon this. But about half yard above
the ground they divide, part going to
one side, and part to the other; and
one of them branches into fork, of
which one leg accompanies one bum
die, and one the other; so that on
reaching the ground they enclose the
stone and penetrate on the two sides
of it."

PLANT SENSE SAVES
LIFE MYSTERIOUSLY
Literary Digest)

Without eyes, ears, or a sense of
smell, so far as we know, plants are
apparently affected by the presence
of objects that do not directly touch
them. In the case of animals, OBJ
jects produce this effect through the
well-known senses, but it is hardly
probable that plants have any of these,
although the discovery of lenses, ana
logous to those of the eye, in the
leaves of some plants, was recestly
described in these columns. Yet they
must have some faculty nearly akin to
ours, as is clearly shown by the ex-
periments described by S. Leonard
Bastin in The Scientific American
New York, May 16). We know now,
Mr.. Bastin asserts, that plants are
able to 'feel objects at distance"
That is to say, they act as if they
were aware of the presence of GER
tain thing, even though they may not
be in contact at all. He gives Jas
follows a few of the most startling
cases which have come under notice:
Everybody knows that the sundew
catches flies. The leaves of this plant
are, of course, covered with tentacles
which, being very sensitive, close in
round the captive. But the foliage OF
the sundew has another remarkable
characteristic. If a fly is fxt about
half an inch from any of the leaves,
most astonishing thing happens. Aft
er a short interval it is seen that
the sundew leaf has moved percepti-
bly, toward its victim. Soon the cruel
tentacles have actually reached the
unhappy fly and are seen to be slow
ly moving round their prey. There
is now no chance to escape, and with
every moment the fate of the insect
becomes more certain. A few feeble
wriggles and the fly is dead. When
one Genes to think of it, it is very
strange that a plant should be able
to go in pursuit of its prey in the
manner indicated. Some plants are
very unscrupulous; unable to secure
a living on their own account, they
prey upon the more hard working of
their fellows. Such is the dodder, 4
most virulent parasite, which, apart
from the first few weeks of its exist
ence, has no roots or leaves and exists
as blood-sucker on other plants.
1 The seed of the dodder germinates
| in the soil, and from this arises u
tcurious threadlike growth. Now it is
of vital Importance that the young
dodder should be able to seize hold
of some suitable host, such as a Glow
er-plant, for instance. 1t is strange
| to watch the manner in which this
1 threadlike growth works in and out
through the grass stalks, seeking for
a victim. When it comes within a
certain distance of clover-plant the
dodder grows forward at very rapid
pace until hold is secured. Even
