huge extravaganza in the appropria-
ton of more money out of the public
funds than had ever before been done
by any congress.
Mr.. Farr pointed to the claim of the
Democrats that Wilson had kept US
out of war, and then pointed out the
impossibility of this nation being
drawn into the war, and so thoroughly
exploded this foolish claim that when
he again alluded to it ripple of
laughter spread through the audience.
He then took up their claim of great
prosperity, showed the cause of the
apparently good times as they now
exist as due entirely to this country
furnishing the warning nations with
, munitions. "If the Democrats get
any satisfaction out of the prosperity
Of this nation, won by the shedding
of so much blood upon the battle
fields of Europe, the means and groans
of the wounded and dying soldiers over
there, and the cruel poverty and help
lessness of the widows and orphaned
children of those nations, they are
more than welcome to it,, stated Mr.
Farr, "For my part, would thous.
and times rather be without that kind
of prosperity"
Throughout the entire address Mr.
Farr demonstrated his perfect famil.
iarity with the conditions of the ma.

the United States. He then named
Charles Evans Hughes, at the mention
of whose name there was an outburst
of applause that plainly indicated the
popularity of this great man.
"1t is not necessary to go outside
of the Democratic party" Mr.. Farr
stated, "to find condemnation of their
reckless and unreasonable handling of
public matters, nor is it necessary
that the Republicans should in any
way criticize the Democratic admins

to the Congressional records to find

giles against these deadly missiles. The
darkness comes over it all, and the
great peace spectacle goes upon the
picture screen so magically that the
audience is left with the impression
that the people they see are as real
and as human as the actors who have
just been before their eyes.
This is the first time in the his
tory Of the stage that the legitimate
drama and the moving picture have
been combined. Another remarkable
feature, in connection with the pre-
setation of the Ince spectacle, is the
introduction of soprano soloist, a
baritone soloist, and large chorus
to sing incidental music at times
where such gives a convincing force
to the picture.

Victor L. Schertzinger music has won
the reputation of being the greatest
musical organization that ever played

quired to present this acted drama.
1t portrays a country at peace, with

The lovers romp through the wood

BIG SHEEP DEAL
CLOSED TUESDAY
Transaction Involving Nearly Fifty
Thousasd Dollars.

Negotiations were completed last
Tuesday whereby Jos. Hanlon of Bill
lings, purchased several thousand head
of sheep from Jameson & Murray,
and the deal is one representing about
the largest financial transaction cor
summated in the county for many
years. Mr. Hanlon took an option
on the sheep early last June and is
very we'll pleased with the deal ow-
ing to the advance in values since
that time. In speaking of the pre-
vailing prices of all live stock and the
deal just completed Mr.. Hanlon stat
ed that he looked for values to con-
tinue high for at least another year.
"Sheep are higher than anyone ev-
er imagined they could ever Co." said
Mr.. Hanlon. 81 am we'll pleased with
the purchase I have just made of
Jameson & Murray. During the
past ten years of dealings which I
have had with stockmen all over Mon
tana l have never dealt with men of
higher business integrity nor men
with whom it was more pleasant to
do business than the firm of Jameson
& Murray. Despite the attempt to
create sentiment detrimental to
their integrity made by Dave Rae,
who was acting as my agent, l wish
to distinctly state that they are abso-
lutely reliable and it is pleasure to
do business with them"

and the interest of the people would
at all times be safeguarded.
The closing address of the evening
was made by Geo. w. Farr of Miles

gresham. Mr.. Farr is a most con-
vincing and forceful speaker and from
the very moment he began to speak.
the sincerity and honesty of his ef-
forts brought responsiveness from
the audience which demonstrated that
they were with him. He opened by
briefly stating that he did not intend
to harangue and brow beat the oppo-
sition political party. That it was
his purpose to show that the people
of the United States as stock holders
in this great corporation formed by
the 48 states should have a business
like and proper handling of their af-
fairs; that the man at the head OF
the business of this institution should
be a man of sterling worth, known
ability an dstrong, forceful purpose
added to which should be the proper
discernment to Judge and act for the
best interests of the entire people and
not for few. He stated that such
man had been selected to head the
Republican national ticket, man who
had been tried and found true, not
only as Governor of a great state, but
as Judge of the Supreme Court oi

SENTIMENT FOR MISS
RANKIN STILL GROWING

Favorable sentiment which has pre-
vailed for many weeks with regard
to the candidacy of Miss Jeanette
Rankin whose election to congress on
the Republicas ticket is already gen.
orally conceded, is still growing, and
predictions Of the past week indicate
that Montana will send the first con-
gresswoman to Washington with the
biggest majority ever given to any
candidate on any ticket in the state.
Huge crowds have gathered to hear
Miss Rankin wherever she has spok-
en-, and the ovations accorded her have
been phenomenal. In Great Falls
the opera house was packed to the
highest balcony, anil when Miss Ran
kin arose to speak, the demonstration
was so prolonged and so deafening
that it was several minutes before
she was allowed to begin her talk. In
Anaconda several hundred people were
turned away from the meeting, for
lack of standing room. Two halls
were packed in Butte, so that when
Miss Rankin finished speaking is one,
she was hurried to the next one, to
address an audience as great as that
in the first.
Miss Rankin has been speaking on
the tariff, the farm loan law the con-
gressionpl duties regarding patents
! and appropriations, and other nation
al questions, urging support for the
entire Republican ticket; and her abil-
ity and knowledge and forceful speak
ing have won her unbounded admira.

Wednesday morning, November first,
S. c. Moore, assumed the management

has been the Secretary of the Glas-

time has built up wide circle Of ac-
quaintances, not only in Valley coun-
ty but throughout the entire state.
He stated that it is his intentions to
make the Coleman Hotel the best place
in Glasgow from standpoint of ser
vice and comfort so that those who
patronize it will be sure to return
again when in the city.
A large force of people are now at
work in the hotel giving it thorough
renovating and when this work is done

efficiencies Of the present Democratic
State officials and to their apparent
disregard of the taxpayers pocketbook.
He sighted many existing infringe

officials, and pointed out the great

departments. His recital of the use
of state patronage with which to keep
up the Democratic political machine

continued applause.

VISITS OLD TEXAS HOME;
FIRST TIME IN 27 YEARS

T. B. Cathey, wife and family re-
turned from Hubbard City. Texas,
yesterday, where they have been
spending two weeks at Mr. Cathey's S
old home. This is the first visit in
81 years, and Mr.. Cathey stated that
he had the time of his life with rela-
tives and old friends.
They went through in an automo'
bile by way of Gainesville, Fort
Worth, Hillsboro, and Waco to Hub
bard City, and returned over the same
route.
Speaking of crop conditions Mr.
Cathey stated that he never saw such
crops of cotton and corn in his life
as are being grown in the territory
traversed, and unless unforeseen acci'
dents prevent, Texas will harvest the
biggest crop in years.
Mr.. Cathey stated that notwith'
standing the long time he had been
away from the old home, everything
was familiar to him and the old farm
was in a high state of cultivation
Returning, he realized the value OF
good roads, starting from forty miles
below Fort Worth in the morning
they drove 40 miles to Gainesville fol
dinner, while it took them the remain
der of the day to negotiate the 81
miles between Gainesville and this
city. He was loud in his praise oi
the good roads, and is now firm con
vert for good roads in this state.
