FOR BEST WHEAT
AUTO IS OFFERED

1t is estimated that the wheat
acreage in Montana for the pres
ent year is 25 per cent greater
than that of 1914, which brings
it into the neighborhood of L.
200, 900 acres. The probable pro-
duction from this area will be, it
is estimated, close to 25,000,0 900
bushels. In 1900 the wheat pro-
duction of Montana was less
than 100000 bushels. This
marvellous increase is only one of
many facts which go to prove
that Montana is the greatest
wheat state in the union, and the
greatest wheat country in the
world.
Not content, however, so long
as there are any untitled acres
in Montana, those interested in
the development of the resources
of the commonwealth continue
to encourage the farmers to plow
more ground and SOW more
wheat, thus enriching not only
the state itself, but it's every
resident.
With that end in view, and
with the further wish of secur-
ing a choice collection of wheat
samples, both threshed and in
the sheaf, to be used for the ex-
ploitation Of Montana's agricul-
tural resources in distant points,
the Montana state fair is this
year offering a seven-passenger,
six-cylinder Studebaker auto
mobile of 1916 model for the best
five sheaves and one bushel of
Montana grown wheat from the
same field and exhibited by a
Montana farmer at the State
Fair, September 1925.
The management of the state
fair invites every farmer in the
state to compete for this prize,
and thus help to maintain the
reputation which Montana has
won as the best cereal country
in the world, by it's winning of
the grand prize at the Panama.

LEMBERG'S FALL
GERMAN VICTORY

The fall of Lemberg is a great
German victory, practically plac-
ing all of Galacia in the hands of
the Teutonic allies. The Russian
generals saw they could not with
stand the assault and hurriedly
sent all the artillery they could
move to the rear. After the ar
tillery had been sent, says a
correspondent, the panic stricken
troops began their flight. Wag-
ons and supply trains blocked the
road and the soldiers detached
the horses and rode away. Of
ficers were helplessly carried
away, units disbanded and the
army became a mere mob. Sixty
thousand Russian soldiers and 9
generals were captured in addi-
tion to untold numbers of guns
and much ammunition.
Lemberg, the capital of Gal
acia, has been in the hands of
the Russians since September 2,
1914, but this victory puts the
Russian army back onto Russian
soil.
The destruction of the British
navy yard and arsenal at Shields,
on the north coast of England,
is reported as having been ac-
complished by German aircraft.
Heavy reinforcements have
reached the Austrians on the
border of Austria and Italy,
checking the Italian drive into
Austrian territory. The new
troops are said to have come
from Galacia, indicating that the
Teutons consider the big fight
over on the eastern front.
Along the western front the
allies are making some gains,
but with the Russians on the run,
Germany will now be able to
concentrate troops on the west
ern battle line. War critics de-
clare the outlook is not the best
for the allies and if Russia fails
to reorganize her army into a
formidable force, the final result
looks most favorable for the
TeutOns.

Doing Good Road Work

Road Supervisor Jay Carr has
done a large amount of road
work in his district this year and
a marked improvement in the
roads is the result. From Roman
north to the county line the road
has been graded, culverts put in,
bridges repaired, etc., while the
main road south has been mater
tally improved. This week a new
grade across the Ninepipe reser-
voir site and a bridge across the
inlet to the reservoir, have been
completed. This shortens the
road better than half a mile in
distance and several miles in
time. The new grade is a peach
and will be appreciated most
thoroughly during the seasons of
bad roads. This. piece of road
has been the worst anywhere be-
tween Roman and Ravalli and
the action Of the commissioners
in ordering it fixed will be duly
appreciated. Other work has
been done and more contem-
plated, which in the aggregate
will exceed all the road work
heretofore done on the reserva-
tion.
In the matter of roads, the
county commissioners are doing
all that we can reasonably ex-
pect.

GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA
THREATENED BY M0BS

Following Governor Slaton's S
act in committing the death SEN
tence of Leo Frank to life i'm
prisonment for the murder of
Mary Phagan, the factory girl,
a mob composed of several hum
dred men and boys surrounded
the governors country residence
and threatened vengeance. The
governors country home had
been barricaded with barbed-
wire entanglements and country
policemen stood guard. These,
however, were inadequate to
hold the mob and three COM
panies of the state militia were
called out to disperse the infuri-
ated people.
Upon the arrival of the militia
the governor proclaimed martial
law in a district extending half
a mile in either direction from
his home. When the soldiers
lined up with fixed bayonets to
disperse the crowd, stones, bricks
and bottels were thrown at them
and manv were hit with these
missiles, including the major, a
lieutenant and several privates.
No shots were fired by the mi
litia and the crowds were finally
dispersed.
Prior to the announcement by
the governor that Franks SEN
tence had been committed, Frank
was taken from the Jail at At
lanta and hustled to the states
prison at Milledgeville for pro-
lection. In explaining his act in
committing Franks sentence,
Governor Slaton said:
my decision may mean that
| must live in obscurity the rest
of my days, but | would rather
be plowing in a field than to feel
for the rest of my life that | had
that mans blood on my hands. "

BIG AND TRUE STORY
TOLD BY JOHN P, SWEE

Attorney John P. Swee and
the writer, with Mr.. and Mrs.
Caville Dupuis, were Missoula
visitors last Friday night and
Saturday. Mr.. Swee and Mr..
Dupuis were down on business
connected with the Pablo estate
and in addition to transacting
his legal business Mr.. Swee
found time to do some good
boosting for the Flathead. Just
how the Missoulian got hold of
some things which transpired,
we don't know, but here is what
it said Sunday morning:

the prospect of the biggest wheat
crop in the history of the coun-
try.
They say the winter wheat is
all in head and as high as a
mans head. Nothing but a hot
wind stands in the way of a
record breaker. They vouch for
the story that one ranch near
Roman was seeded to wheat
three years ago and one crop cut;
last year the volunteer crop eX-
ceeded the first one soWn. Last
fall the owner sought to expert
ment with the second volunteer
crop, without reseeding, with
the result that this years volun-
teer wheat field gives promise of

Why is it some people always

them as they knock the town
their walls could be heard clear

lose it in the woods instead of
sowing it broadcast in the heart
of fine community of energetic

will be more in the nature of a
perennial, like alfalfa and clover.

wearing.
A lake of fire and birthstone
isn't the only hell ever invented.
There is the case of the man
who has a $50 wife and a SIS

When a woman's hips are so
big around that she has to go

gets a lot of comfort out of the
fact that she is broad minded.
Before you get her she can

And after you get her she can
say things with her mouth that
make you feel funny all over.
