STiPEk'S LITTLE GIRL
NARROWLY ESCAPES DEATH

The body of an automobile, driven
by lady chauffer, passed over the
form of little Gladys Stipek week ago
last Sunday while she was in the act
Of crossing the street at Kendrick
avenue near Valentine. The differ
entail gear case tore the clothing from
the little one and she was consider
ably bruised but otherwise uninjured,
although suffering still from nervous
ness.
That the child was not killed
seems miracle, even in view of the
fact that the car was not going at
a high rate of speed.
This accident again calls attention
to the necessity of some sort of city
regulation whereby age and other re-
strictions are placed on those driving
automobiles, and whereby some sort
of examination be given to prospect
i've auto drivers, for the purpose of
eliminating children of immature age
and others who learn how to drive cars
on the public streets at the risk of
life and limb of innocent pedestrians.
It is matter of common comment
and felicitude that more people have
not been injured or killed on the
streets by inexperienced or immature
auto drivers, and it is often heard said
that as soon as the child of a prom
inent and wealthy man is killed, some
official action by the city will then
be taken.
However, it will be the height Of
folly to wait until then, providing pro-
per safeguards can be officially made
at this time, as no doubt they can be.

Farmers And Stockmen
Effect Organization
Annual Exchange Bureau to Be Established. Bet
ter Marketing Facilities Sought. Gen.
eral Committee Appointed.

A small but enthusiastic group of
Dawson County Farmers and Stock
men met in the County Court House
in Glendive Tuesday night and took
the first steps in the organization of a
county wide Farmers and Stockmen's
organization for the furtherance of
the stock and agricultural interests of
the county.
The purpose of the organization as
outlined by the meeting is to estab-
lish strong countrywide organization,
which would first establish an ex-
change for the sale of minor farm pro-
ducts, exchange of animals which
have grown out of use in their local
herds, and communities, and assist in
procuring new animals to head the
herds. BY means of this exchange the
seed in the county, corn oats, barley,
alfalfa, sweet clover. etc., will be list
ed free of charge, and this exchange
list will be mailed to every farmer in
the county. Settings of hen and tur-
key eggs, tractor outfits, sires of herds,
and in fact any farm products or i'm
plements could be so listed.
Other objects as outlined by the
meeting, were that the wolf and coyote
nuisance as well as the spread of hog
cholera and other animal diseases
could be better met and handled by
means of this organization.
Better marketing facilities for the
rancher and farmer who produce small
lots of hogs, lambs and steers was
also discussed. 1t was the general
concensus of opinion that the organi-
zatiOn could be of material assistance
in getting buyers into the county to
pick up the small lots, or that the
organization could get the members
together so that they could ship CO.
operatively. There was considerable
discussion as to the name of the new
organization, but it was decided to
leave that matter open till the next
meeting to be held at Lindsay, Tues
day, July 6. Among the names sug-
gested, were the Dawson County
Farmers and Stockmen's Associa-
tion'; the Dawson County Stock
Growers Association and Farmers
Exchange; the Dawson County Farm
Service Bureau.
A general Committee of 20 mem
bers was named, representative of
every community in the county. These
men were instructed to discuss the
matter in their communities during
the following month and to bring in
as many farmers and stockmen as
possible at the meeting July when
a permanent organization will be per-
fected.
The committee named was: Grant
Gibson, Chairman; Chas. Rainey, Sec
retary; Fred Yale, Lower Bad Route;
Gus Ollerman, Bloomfield; Forrest

FARMERS INSTITUTE PIcNicS
A DESIRABLE INNOVATION

During the month of June, nineteen
Farmers Picnic Institutes will be held
in Dawson County. These are all
planned as community picnics. and
are featuring the picnic side as strong
ay as the institute. In nearly every
community, local committees are be-
ing formed which are scheduling q
baseball game, picnic dinner, dance
and in some localities, broncho bust
ing and other Montana Field Day
events.
These Picnic Institutes in the ma
jority of cases, will be the one big
community effort and celebration of
the year, and will, undoubtedly, turn
out large crowds.
A corps of from three to five speak
ers, under the direction of the State
Extension Department, will make all
of these meetings and give addresses

DAWSON COUNTY HIGH
SCHOOL CLOSED TERM
LAST FRIDAY NIGHT

| The 1914-1915 term of the Dawson
County High School came to a fitting
close last Friday evening by the usual
form OF Graduation Exercises, held
at the Arcade Opera House.
The program, the first number OF
which was a Selection by the Glendive
Orchestra, started shortly after 8
O'Clock, by which time the large audi
torium was nearly filled with rela-
tives, friends and admirers of the
High School pupils and faculty.
The Invocation by Rev. w. B. Bliss
was exceptionally we'll rendered and
was received with rapt attention and
appreciation by the audience.
Mrs. Bert Koons sang L'Ardita's S
beautiful selection, "L'Arditi', most
effectively, being in excellent voice.
The principal address of the evening
was made by the Rev. w. H. North,
pastor of the Congregational Church
in Billings, whose subject was "The
Vale of Upas". This was one of the
most inspirational graduation ad-
dresses heard in this city for years and
no doubt the young graduates will
carry the memory of his beautiful
words through their entire lives, spur
ring them ever onward to better and
nobler things.
After this the Glendive Orchestra
rendered another excellent selection,
followed by a short but forceful ad-
dress by Mr.. C. A. Thurston, presi-
dent of the Board of Trustees of the
High School who then presented the
young men and women with their
diplomas.
Miss Mildred Manley then rendered
with much feeling and tonal express
ion, A. Denza's beautiful solo, "A.
May Morning, and the evenings pro-
gram concluded with selection by
the Glendive Orchestra
Professor R. L. Hunt, superintendent
of the High Schol expressed himself
as being very well pleased with the
work of the pupils during the past.
year and said that he looked forward
to next year as being more successful
both in number and in work accomp-.
lished than any that has gone before.
The Domestic Science department
will then be expected to reach its max
imum of efficiency and other depart
ments of the school will be kept up
to the high standards of the past.
AS the Monitor has said many times
before, the people Of Dawson County
can well be proud Of its High School,
it's faculty, and it's pupils.

Clendive's Horse Sale
Attracts Many Buyers
First Horse Sale at Glendive Horse Sales Com.
pany's New Yard Proves Big Success
and Many Animals Are Sold.

Tho first horse sale under the
ouOnices Of the Glendive Horse Sales
Company at their new sales yards IN
tho eastern part of the city was pulled
of m Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
dow of this week and was success in
0very way. There were lots of horses
for sale, lots of buyers and the AMI
mails all brought good prices as a rule.
The sale opened Monday afternoon
with about thousand head of horses
in the wards and as the day was legal
holiday there was a large audience
of BUYERS and spectators. The auc-
toneers in charge were Mint Kelly, of
Hardon Montana, and T. H. Hiland,
of Devils Lake. Mr.. Hiland opened
the sale and in few appropriate re-
marks told the crowd just what the
Sales Company intended to do.
This is a good stock country" said
Mr. Hiland, "and we can raise good
stock here. The main reason for in
stituting these sales yards is to make
a market for good stock by bringing
the buyer and seller together and thus
encourage people in the raising of it."
After these remarks the call "Let
EN- in" was heard-and in they came,
some large, some medium and some
small, but on a whole as fine bunch
of horses as one could wish to see.
There were buyers present from
Omaha, New York, Billings, st. Louis,
Minneapolis and Miles City, besides
the large crowd of local men. There
was considerable rivalry over some of
the select stock and the bidding was
fast and furious from all quarters of
the yards. At the close of the after
noon sale the tally sheets showed that
goodly number of horses had been
sold.
Tuesdays Sale.
Tuesday afternoon the sale opened
at about 2:30 o'clock with two or
three more carloads of stock in the
yards. Mr.. Hiland opened the sale and
run through quite bunch of small
stuff, but it didn't seem what the buy
ers wanted and there was very little
competition in the bidding. Mr.. Kelly
then took the stand and kept every
body in good humor by his methods
OF running up the bids. He run
through quite a number of the larger
animals and all brought good prices
one particularly fine team of geldings
bringing in $237.5O.
AT 4 o'clock two fine registered
fercheron stations were placed on
sale, but as the bids did not run up
10 what the owners felt they were
worth they were taken out and put up
Tor private sale.
A few more horses were run
through, but the heavy rain put an end
u the sale for the afternoon and cut

NEW COUNTY AGRICULTURIST
MAKES FIRST OFFICIAL REPORT

/ Ii spite or the long continued spell
OF dry weather early this spring, crop
conditions, at the present writing, are
practically normal, and a careful sur.
vey of the whole county, in the last
ten days, has failed to reveal any seri.
GUS damage done by the drought.
The spring grains-oats, barley and
wheat, in many fields, are coming up
rather spotted, but an investigation
OF conditions in every case noted show
ed that the seed in the thin spots was
but little slower in sprouting than
it was in the more favored locations.
This will tend to uneven the ripening
to slight extent, but since grain has
habit of ripenirg fairly uniformly, a
normal supply of moisture during the
remainder of the growing season will
insure normal crop. Winter wheat,
and rye, especially, in the western sec
tion of the county, is looking very
good, and has made considerable
growth.
A study of crop conditions this
spring offers unusually convincing
proof that good farming pays, and
that overlooking the details of good
tillage methods is, to a large measure,
overlooking success. In those fields
that were well packed and titled, con-
siderable moisture could be found be-
fore the recent rains, and the crop
has made fairly even growth, while
those that were poorly prepared were
as dry as ashes. The packing and
tillage had firmed the soil well, leaving
a good mulch on top, thus conserving
the moisture in the soil and provid-
ing a good bed for the plants.
of all the dry land forage plants,
both native and cultivated, row alfal
ia has made the best showing by far
this spring. Row alfalfa has made a
strong vigorous growth, while the ma
tive grass has scarcely greened up
and the broadcast sOwn alfalfa has
not done half so well. A thin seeding
of alfalfa of about three quarters of a
pound to the acre also shows a far
better growth than the heavier seed
ings. OF the other forage grasses, the
hromus and western rye grasses rank
next under the dry soil conditions, but
do not begin to show the growth that
the alfalfa flaunts.
At Glendive, 3.43 inches of rain has
fallen during the month of May. Dur
ing the last nine months, 6.17 inches
of rain has fallen, which is 2.5 below
normal for the same months The gen.
eral average for the Circle country
is about two inches heavier, but their
rainfall is also below normal for that
section While this deficiency ap-
pears rather alarming for dry land
country, it must be remembered that
the deficiency in rainfall has been dur
ing the dormant season. The total
rainfall for May has been LA inches
above normal to date, and is arriv-
ing at the start of the growing season.
A normal rainfall during the remand
er of the growing season will be ample
for an average crop, even though there
is no large moisture reserve stored up
