TAFT WOULD ABOLISH
OFFICE OF POSTNAST

William Howard Taft in an ad-
dress at Chicago, Friday, suggested
the abolition of one great srop of
political plums, namely, postmasters
Postmasters, Mr.. Taft said, are as a
class uneconomic and, superfluous.
He added that the national govern
ment could save $4,OOO,OOO a year
by doing away with them and pay
ing only the deputies, who do most
of the work, anyhow
II want the postoffice system
managed by the United States as
any big going business is managed
by private company" he said.
'"The deputy postmaster, named I'M
der civil service, could and should
be the chief executive, and we would
have an end to this interminable
politics and waste"

REDUCED RATES TO BOHEMIAN

The railroads operating in Mon
tana have granted rates of fare one
third from the round trip to Boze-
man during Farmers Week. Tick
cts can be bought from about Janu-
airy Goth to the 9th, going and re-
turning, probably up to February

1t is expected that the usual GER
tificate plan will be followed and
that buyers of Bozeman transpor-
tation who present return certifi-
Gates can purchase the return tick
ct at one-third the regular price.
A splendid livestock program is
being arranged with Professor Coch-
Ell of Kansas, Dean Robert Shaw of
Michigan, Professor H. r. Smith of
Minnesota, Professor Thomas Shaw
and others including the livestock
faculty at Bozeman Some special
features never before tried in Mon
tana will be put on this year. A
school for horse breeders, a wool

TO RECEIVE OVER
TWO MILLION FOR BEET CROP

From Scottish Bluff Star-Herald,
Scott's Bluff, Nebraska, OF October
LIST, 1915:
'The latest estimate of the size Of
the 1915 beet crop in this valley
places the yield at 37S,6o3 tons.
The farmers receive including the
bonus not less than $3.50 per ton,
in addition to which one fourth or
more of the crop is silied, for which
an additional SO cents per ton is
paid.
On the basis of one-fourth of the
crop being placed in silo, for some
farmers silo all they raise, the aver
age price would be $685. cents
per ton, and if our arithmetic is
right the company will pay out 3d.
129,641.87 to the farmers of this
valley for beets. Some income, now,
isn't it, and it puts the farmers in
the producers class with big G.
The average yield was approxi-
mately 21.21 tons per acre. which
at $5.625 per ton, mean net in
come of $6S.68 per acre, approx
mately."
In regard to the above article it
might be we'll to add that in Ne
braska where the beets mentioned
were grown it took three and one
halt years to fertilize the soil before
any beets could be grown there.
Here in the Milk River valley our
soil. has been growing beets for
many years, so that there would be
no trouble in this respect for the
growing of beets here.

JUST TO REMIND YOU.
Citizens of Malta:

Citizens of Malta:
One month ago the announcement
was given forth that your school
principal had secured the agency for
the Curtis publications with the aim
of using commissions that accrued
for the purchase of certain aids in
the school work. Many have an
swered the letter sent out, more
| have failed to respond.
With characteristic desire to aid
in move for the public good, Mrs.
| E. E. Turpin turned over her list
/! of subscribers. 1t is matter of re-
greet that the pressure of school
work prevents calling upon every
present and prospective subscriber
to the Post, Journal or Country
Gentleman. So l ask you as busy
men and women to assist in this
business transaction by looking up
your subscription dates. and sending
your renewals by mail or by the
children, or to let me know so /
may call for it.
| For your information, dates on
the Post are usually by serial num-
Der. If your address label reads
26-5 your subscription expires Dec.
25th. 1t may read Dec. Is, 5. The
Journal has month and year of ex-
piration on label. The Country Gen.
tleman has month, day and year,
thus Pills.
The fact that you have been
subscriber to or purchaser of
these magazines makes any advance
ment of their merits unnecessary.
You will not wish to miss single
issue, through failure to renew.
Many local subscriptions expire now
so it will be unlikely that local deal
ers could supply everybody until re-
newal was made. The Curtis Com
pany will discontinue your maya
zine promptly and does not send
back numbers. Therefore it is ur-
gent that you act promptly and we
are anxious to secure your patron
age, not for sordid gain, but for the
good which your agents commission
may accomplish.
To those not subscribers it is
hardly necessary to say that no bet
ter reading for the family can be
secured than that found in the Post
and the Journal. For the farmer
there are many agricultural papers
of merit, but none are in class
with the Country Gentleman. Men
VI N1dlld, luLcI6SLCu ILL ramon Ut
homestead, can not invest a dollar
more wisely than in years SUBJ
scription to this sterling farm paper.
Our country friends, whose BUSH
ness is farming, can profit by the
splendid helps the Gentleman af-
fords.
We ought to have two hundred
subscriptions before Christmas.
Will you help to attain that goal?
In closing, just word as to the
use of the money we secure. 1t will
pay for the stereopticon already Or
dered. This will be used for series
: of high class illustrated lectures
l not only at the school house in NAL
f ia, but also in neighboring commu-
s mites. Pictures of educational value
I will place before the eye, not only
/. of the boys and girls, but OF the
: older people as we'll, knowledge OF
r unquestioned worth.
: Yours truly,
JOHN l.. ELLIOTT.

MAY BE A CANDIDATE.

At present in the eastern part OF
the state there is considerable talk
of DR.. Lanstrum of Helena, as the
republican candidate for governor
next year. There is probably not a
better known man in the state and
not one who would fill the office of
governor OF Montana with more
credit. He has lived in this state
for a number of years having been
one of the pioneers and knows the
needs of the state and her people.
We sincerely hope the doctor has
fully decided to cast his hat in the
political ring, as he has the moral
courage to do what he thinks right
regardless of criticism.

The Great Northern will haul to
market this year 175,000,000 BUSH
els of grain, says Louis Will, pres
ident of the Great Northern. The
recent scarcity of cars in Montana,
which forced several elevators tenn
porarlv to close their doors, was
due. Mr.. Hill said. to the fact that
the elevators at the terminal points
refused for a while to purchase
grain and the loaded cars remained
in the yards. "Big crops and fair
prices insure prosperity" said Mr..
Hill, land that is what the north
west, and especially Montana, will

acres of land of the Assiniboine res
ervation, including all the buildings

city of Havre and was selected from
the land of the reservation by the
station authorities, as best adapted
to the purpose of agricultural ex-
perimentation, Whether any of the
land can be brought under irriga-
ton has not been determined. N.
X. Spencer. who is to be foreman
Of the experimental farm, was ap-
pointed custodian of the land and

criss-cross play to good advantage in this
quarter, making large gains every time

From this point until the rest of the
game Grand Island seemed to slow up.
