PRIZES FOR KIDDIES.

Catering to the Riddles will be
one of the missions of the Montana
State Fair at the annual treasure
State Exposition this year, Sept
1925. In addition to- Offering many
enticing and lucrative prizes for the
children, the State Fair is planning
on making Children's day one of
special pleasure for the youngsters
of Montana. 1t is hoped that an
ambition can be raised in every jul
venile Montana citizen which will
cause them to persuade their par
ents to bring them to the Montana
State r'air. That they could be ex-
a foregone conclusion for a few
days the fair hat educates
would far surpass a few days of
routine work at school.
Mainly for the benefit of the chill
dren the State Fair this year will
have the largest and most spectac-
ular display of daylight fireworks
ever given in the northwest. The
program will consist of thirty es-
pecially planned numbers which
will include every in,na gina 81 }
sort of daylight pyrotechnics. Pa
triotic, floral and humorous pieces
will be provided by the Thearle-
PainFireworks Company of Chicago
pyrotechnists to all the great
amusement enterprises in the world
Daylight fireworks prove the
most safe and successful form OF
entertainment that can be provided
for the amusement OF children
As a part of the children's day pro-
gram they will provide entertain
ment to old and young alike. This
is the first year that the State Fair
has shown an extensive display OF
fireworks. It's display will be the
largest in the west this year.

BAD FIRE AT CHINOOK.

A bad fire visited Chinook early
Friday morning and destroyed
property valued in the neighbor-
hood OF $4,000. The fire started
in the Adams garage and burned
that building which was owned by
A. s. Lehman; Thibadeau's saloon
and Jack Ryan's livery and feed
stable. Ten head Of horses belong
ing to Jack and Will Ryan and two
dry land farmers were burned to
death and another horse so severely
burned that it had to be shot. The
harness store and factory of A. B.
Duke & Co., which occupied a brick
building was slightly damaged. A
pool hall opposite the Ryan barn on
the other side of the street caught
fire from the intense heat but the
building was finally saved after
hard fight. Two automobiles, ma
chinery, tires, motor supplies and 9
quantity of oil and gasolene were
lost in the Adams garage.
All the equipment and contents
of Ryan's barn were destroyed in
Guiding dray wagons and harness
owned by Will Ryan.
Chinook fremen fought the
flames hard and were assisted by
citizens who turned out in large
numbers. Hard fighting saved the
Duke building, pool hall, Arlington
hotel and probably the Lehfeld
farm implement warehouse.
The burned structures and con
tents We're only partially covered b,

FARMER WINS OUT.

According to an opinion just CIV
Ell by Judge Frank N. Utter in the
district court at Plentywood, the
fear that many farmers have enter
tanned that a Judgment against
their homestead is a cloud on the IT,
tie is set aside, the court having de-
creed that it is not. The matter
arose wherein a judgment had just
been entered in the district court in
Sheridan county in the case OF Hull
VS.. donaldson Bros, Lewis Tipp,
Angldile Computing Scales COM
pany, and Jack Bennett as sheriff.
in favor of Hull and against the
various defendants. Hull is a home
steader near McCabe. He filed on
his homestead some years ago, and
after he had filed onsuch homestead
the defendants, Donaldson Bros. OBJ
tanned service of writ OF attach
ment on his homestead, Tipp and
| the Angldile Computing Scales COM
pany obtained judgment against
Hull which was duly docketed. In
seeking to obtain loan upon his
land the plaintiff procured an alb
stract and such judgment appeared.
He went into court on the PROPOSE
ton and obtained judgment against
Donaldson Bros. and the Angldile
Computing Scales company declar-
ing that his title was clear and un-
clouded. The defendant. Tipp,
stood on demurrer to the COM
plant and the court held that, in
asmuch as under section 2296 of
the revised statutes of the United
States a judgment could not be q
lien on the title of a homestead en-
try. he demurrer is good.
Judge Frank n. Utter decided
that upon motion of Hull's attorney
the homestead was in no manner
subject to the payment OF the Tipp
| Indebtedness and that Judgment
was not lien upon said lands.-

TO CAMPERS, FISHERMEN,
AUTOISTS AND PUBLIC

The cool weather and numerous
rains have reduced the fire hazard
up to the present time. A few
days of hot weather accompanied
by hot winds, will put the danger
mark to that point where every pre-
caut on will be necessary to pro-
tect the timber of the state from
forestry fires, and thereby save to
the school children of Montana
thousands of dollars as we'll as pri-
vate property and probably lives.
During the fires in Idaho and
Montana in 1910 there was over
ninety lives lost.
The records of fires in Montana
show that on an average, fires have
been caused in the following pro-
portion, railroads so per cent;
ligh.niug 80 per cent; campers,
travellers, smokers, and other mis-
cellaneous causes 20 per cent. In
other words 20 per cent. OF the to-
tai number of fires which have oc-
CURED during the dry season of
1914 in Montana were caused by
carelessness in one form or another.
One apparently harmless camp fire
last season started forest fire
which burned over 1900 acres of
land.
During the months of June. July.
August and September OF last
year, there were over 1900 fires.
Owing to the efficient organization
of the U. S. Forest Service, the
Northern Montana Forestry Asso-
citation and the state, these fires
were controlled and extinguished
with small damage but great eN-
pense.
The responsibility of reducing a
large per cent. of this great loss to
the state rests with you. All that is
asked and all that is necessary, is
for each one of you to use little
more p-ecaution by using plenty of
water in extinguishing your camp
fire, and by being careful while
smoking in the woods or on the
prairie.
Owing to the quick transporta-
ton by automobile, where one can
reach the depths of our densely for
ested mountain districts within a
few hours, where numerous camp
fires will be built, I earnestly APP
peal to each and every one of you
to use the same precaution to pro-
tect the timber that you would if it
belonged to you personally. If you
will grant this one request I will
guarantee the percentage of forest
fires this coming season will be re-
duced to a minimum.

THE CANADIAN THISTLE.

1 have noticed many comments
that the Canadian thistle is spread
ing in the Gallatin valley. This is
plant that will do we'll under humid
or irrigated farm conditions and in
cool northern climate. 1t is per-
ennial plant and propogates inself
by two methods: first, by
creeping root stalk which pushes
it's way along under ground a few
inches below the surface and every
few inches sends up leaf stalk to
the surface. Thus even if the plant
does not go to seed for years. the
area infested with the weed will
mat of thistles. The second meth
cd is seed. This is attached to a
downy carrier, by which the wind
carries it far and wide over the
country.
The thistle has deep root and it
is not a hard plant to control if
handled properly. It's roots being
large and aeshy it will not stand
thorough drying of the soil, such as
occurs during some years on dry
farms On the irrigated farm,
though the land be not irrigated,
yet much of it in the valley is sub
irrigated. SO the deep tap root OF
the thistle would get a water supply
A second point of attack for this
plant is that it must send its leaves
to the surface or be smothered in
the soil. Then the weak point in
the life OF the plant is just at or be-
fore Towering. Gu tthe thistles in
a pasture field Or along the fences
just before the first plants bloom, as
close to the ground as possible or
better still, cut them below the
ground with a hoe or spud. During
the rest of the season cut the plant
as soon as they show above the
ground with spud. If this work is
thoroughly done there will be few
thstles left for next year.
The land infested with these
thistles should not be irrigated. Ii
it is portion of cultivated field
that is infested with the thistles,
summer fallow the ground and let
the thistles grow until the seed
buds are formed, but before they
| flower. Then pillow using chin
to pull all the thistles under the
ground and cover them completely
Next pack the ground and cultivate
so as to smother and rot the plants
For the remainder of the season
cultivate frequently enough to cut
Off any stalks as soon as they appear
above the surface.
For a small patch of thistles, or
to get rid of the few that may be
left the next year after the treat
ment suggested, the best tool to use
is spud, which is thin chisel or
the end of a fork handle Will
This the thistle may be cut a few
inches below the surface. Two cut
tings during the season will usual,
destroy them.-F. B. Linfeld
