From Purebreds $40 Profit

Ny reason for breeding POLAND
? China swine is that they are al
,, American breed and well adapted
to this country. Polands are
medium size and average weight
and while the lard hog type, if fed
for that purpose make fair ba-
con hog. The Poland's face is
slightly dished, giving it a more
attractive appearance than a
straight face. The heavy jowl,
short neck, good back and strong
frame show good foundation.
In some type the bone is rather
fine owing to years Of breeding
for that purpose.
Due to its wide back. heavy
shoulders and heavily developed
hams the Poland China is a favor
lite with the packers. As it usual
ly natures early the Poland is a
good hog for the cornbelt. Po-
lands have been known to thrive
on corn alone but naturally bet
ter results will be attained if al
mixed ration is fed.
Being feeder / used to think
that any scrub hog would do for
the farm but few years ago I |
decided to buy pure breds, paying
$40 each for two sows and a boar.
All my neighbors thought ! was
fool for paying $l2O for three
hogs when ] could have bought
the same weight for $40. / told

zee where it would prove profit

'igs grew rapidly and when sold =

30 pounds and brought 1920. The /
ows farrowed again in October.

277.05, averaging 275 pounds. i,
Immediately after selling the a

Senator Myers has introduced
and gotten through both branches
of congress a bill, which has
been approved by the president
and has become a law, providing
that homesteaders who are serv-
ing in the National Guard on the
Mexican border, when they may
make final proof, shall have
counted in their favor the time
spent in the service Of the Ma
tional Guard to the same extent
as though living upon and Guilt
waiting their homesteads. By
this they will not lose their time
spent in the service when the
time may come for making final
proof, but shall be credited with
such time. This a matter Of inn
portance to homesteaders who
have been called out with the
National Guard. Otherwise,
many of them would lose their
homesteads by reason of their
enforced absence.

Senator Myers has received
assurance that the official esti-
mate for the appropriation for
work on the Flathead reclama-
ton project for next year will
again be $750,000, the same
amount as this years appropri-
alton. All such appropriations
are based on departmental esti-
mates. Under the law, this es-
innate must be completed by the
fifteenth day of October of each
year, but the department begins
the work of making them out
about two months before that
date. Senator Myers has been
giving the matter attention and
has official assurance that the es-
innate for next year will be the
same as it was for this year.

THREE PERFORMANCES BY
M|SS0ULA ELKS' MINISTRIES

Arrangements have been made
to have the Missoula Elks' Min.
strels open the Roman opera
house as soon as everything is in
complete readiness and there
will be three performances given
while they are here. The first
will be on Saturday night, prob
ably September 16, but the date
is not definitely decided yet, the
next on Sunday afternoon and
the last on Sunday night. The
afternoon performance will be
given for the benefit of the chill
dren, as children will not be ad-
mitted to the Saturday night and
Sunday night shows.
An entirely new program is
being prepared by the Elks and
the first performance of this
new program will be when they
open the new opera house. The
reputation of the Missoula Elks'
minstrel show is state wide and
they will undoubtedly be given
a full house while in Roman.
The exact date will be an
nounced in due season.

The primary election law pro-
vides that the names of the can
didates for any Office shall be
arranged alphabetically accord
ing to surnames. Because of
this law. the candidates whose
name begins with "a" or ''B",
or some other first letter Of the
alphabet, has the privilege of
having his name first on the bal
lot among all the other candi-
dates for the same office. Every
voter should bear this fact in
mind, so that in marking his
ballot on election day, he will
not give some candidate the ben
eft of his vote merely because
his name begins with "A" or
'B". Do not vote for the first
name you come to, but select
carefully the man you wish to
vote for out of the full list of
candidates.

Next Tuesday between the
hours of IL o'clock noon and
D. M, will be primary election
for the purpose of nominating
a full list of county and state
officers. Every voter who is
properly registered may vote and
upon entering the voting places
will be given a ballot for each of
the parties having candidates in
the field. These ballots will be
fastened together and the voter
must select the party ballot they
intend to cast and will not be
permitted to vote for candidates
on opposition tickets. The pri-
mary is simply the means by
which party candidates are NOM
mated and the voter is restricted
to voting for his party's candi-
dates alone. Considerable OBJ
lection is found among voters to
this method and were the wishes
of voters taken into consideration
there would be many radical
changes made in the present
law. This law. however, was
adopted by vote of the people
and must have received the en-
dorsement of the voters at the
time. One ticket with all can
didates thereon, with no re-
strictions as to whom the voter
could support, would meet with
favor with a majority of the
voters. This method should also
provide that the person receiving
the highest number of votes for
each political party should then
contenp at the general election
for the office, as is now the case.
This matter will probably be be-
fore the legislature at the coming
session and will undoubtedly be
supported by many members.

The Leading Reservation
Candidate for County
Commissioner.

DR.. A. K. Resner has been resi-
dent of the reservation for six years,
settling here in 1910 when the Flathead
was first opened. From the first he
has been a member of the school board
and is now chairman. AS one of the
leading physicians he has been at the
beck and call of the people thruout the
whole reservation. AS successful
ranchman and farmer he had to meet
and has met the problems of the
farmers. Probably no other citizen of
Missoula county is so we'll equipped by
an intimate knowledge of it's conditions
and problems for the position of coun
ty commissioner. But few men have
been called upon to travel so extens-
lively over the roads Of half the county,
not merely over the main highways
but over every lane and by-way. No
one is better known to the people of
the reservations; no one knows the peo-
pie so well.
DR.. Resner is forceful man, man
of strong character, who grasps an
idea in an instant and finds the solution
to problem at once, without hours of
dilly -dallying. He is man who can
"put things over". Above all, he is a
public spirited man. leader in every
movement for the public welfare, de-
voting hours and days of his time and
sacrificing his private interests for the
community interests. 1t was with re-
luctance that he consented to put for
ward his name for county commissioner
when his friends urged that he was the
best fitted man in the county for the
job.
Now it is up to every man and woman
on the reservation not to neglect the
primaries. Harvest will wait an hour
or two while you vote. We cannot
elect our candidate if he is not NOM
mated. All out for the Reservation can
didate paid adv &c. BECKER.
