did not believe the amount to be asked

The Days Market

From extreme depression of $3.50
registered at the opening Of the mar
ket. sterling made it's faltering way by
leaps and falls to s4.55 IL in the late
afternoon and fell back at the days
end to s4.54. Francs dropped at sin
gle stroke from sos to so9. reaching
their lowest value. Lires lowered
around 6.54. approximately rs below
their normal worth, remaining there
because they virtually amounted to
nothing in the days dealings. Reichs-
marks zig-zagged between so 3-s and
80 SIS. The entire market was in con-
vulsions throughout the day. although
the tendency toward hysteria lessened
toward the close.
Big Bankers Calm
The big bankers of New York. how
ever. were inclined to calm. One for
eign exchange expert asserted tonight
that he doubted if 10000 pounds ster-
ling had been bought in this market
today. The widely divergent quota
tons at the opening and the close
he ascribed purely to spectators. This
view, however. was not generally &C
cepted and there we're indications that
there had been large dealings in small
amounts after sterling had strengthen
ed to 4.52.
Optimism on Surface
For reasons not seen on the surface,
optimism was more apparent tonight
than analysis of the situation seemed
to warrant. A persistent report pre-
vailed that relief was in sight. 1t
was said that the delegation OF Brit
ish financiers and treasury officials
sent here to mend England's battered
credits were almost within sight OF
land. The blue pencil Of the censor
has crossed out all news from ABROAD
Of the sailing for New York, but it was
thought they might be found aboard
the American liner st. Paul due to
| dock tomorrow.
The censor, according to mail re-
ports from abroad, has been greatly
interested in the foreign exchange sit
uation recently. Press cables. accord
ing to these advices. have been held
up and edited to eliminate references
to weakness, and in some instances, 1t
is said. actual quotations have been
deleted. Incoming dispatches, 1t is
reported have met much the same fate.
There was less talk today Of the pos
sibility that rates would fall so low
as to result in curtailment of Amerl-

Prof. Thos. Shaw Talk Was

Best Grain and Forage Crops the Dual Purpose
Cow and Other Topics. By S. E. Albin

Friday afternoon at the Com

Shaw met with a goodly mum
Der Of our representative farm
ers and by his pleasing person
ility and careful application to
his subject captured the conf
dence and hearts Of his hearers.
By drawing out an expression
of local opinion and experience
he was able to bring to bear, on
matters brought up, his obser-
vations from practical demon
strations made by himself, in
localities of similar climate and
rainfall.
His first inquiry drew our the
fact that better conditions of
moisture prevailed here where
summer following had been
practiced though that system
has not been in vogue with us to
any great extent. The reason
has been that the country is too
new and homestea d ers ar e
obliged to crop all their broken
acreage as a means of a liveli-
hood. Also as a matter of fact
summer fallow is moi accepted
by Uncle Sam in fulfilment of
cultivation requirements Of en-
trymen under the three-year
law. In addition to urging the
importance of this custom, Mr..
Shaw advocated the observance
of subsurface packing by means
of a weighted disc ran straight
as an equivalent Of the regular
packer. Furthermore on his
farm operations at Kremlin
i Mont. where rainfall scores
lup toward ours the past season
this same straight-disc plan was
used with good results to break
a hard crust on growing wheat
although it took out some Of the
of the plants. Another force.

pointment of James A. Pyle as
Commissioner of the Panama

the interests of the Montana

sible position as that to which
he has been appointed.

Great Teamwork i'm the
Management Of First
Annual Ball

The commercial club dance
promoters feel that their maiden
effort as public entertainers was
a fine success, fully up to the
advertised articlea real Joy
Time. Heretofore the round
house boys, who are veteran en-
tertainers, had all the laurels,
but they had better be looking
out a little if they yish to pre-
serve their supremacy.
The fun was inserted in the
function beginning at the hour
of ten. when Mayor Potter and
staff, Messrs. jacobson, Ander-
son, Rasmussen and jackson,
lined up at the entrance and
with fine gallantry, grace and
dignity extended the hospitality
of the club to the guests upon
their arrival. t. j. Larson led
the grand march, which formal
| ly opened the dance and from
that time until midnight the
numbers on the printed pro-
grams were carried out. After
the supper hour the dance be-
came more informal and contin-
ued until in the morning hours.

ing Of Messrs. Turner, Davis and
Palm and Miss Thomas, furnish
ed the excellent music gratis
for the club for which they
have tbs thanks Of the

patriotic and harmonious, and
the esprit de corps" which all
the members showed went far
to making the dance a splendid

also be put in to supplement- the
April rye on the pasture prob
lem. So we must assume that
our august sage of agriculture
is thoroughly welded to the
rye crop idea.
Reverting to the subject of
winter wheat, we should drill
into stubble only under certain
conditions when most favorable.
Particularly. should we OBJ
serve that the ground be clear
Of weeds and that the soil be
loose enough to penetrate; but
it is nnsafe to follow with the
same crop, for wheat does not
thrive well in it's own stubble
or, as has been aptly termed,
[among its own dead bodies.
We were instructed to tackle
Squaw corn Of the white flint
variety and expect to harvest
by hogging off as a finishing
touch to our pork crop, afford
inexpensive and profitable feed.
Plant corn in hills and cultivate
both ways. Then at the proper
season drill in fall wheat before
turning on the hogs, which will
not harm the growing wheat.
The corn Stubble acts as a snow
catcher but the Stubble would
hinder the narrowing Of the
wheat in growing season, IN
which event the grain may be
rolled.
