STAMPEDE BIGGER AND
BETTER THAN LAST YEAR

The Missoula Stampede is to be big
ger and better than last year. Many
of the large number of spectators who
witnessed last years show will be
skeptical in regard to this statement.
1t appears, however, as if this will be
just the case. From every direction
are coming inquiries as to the prizes
and purses to be distributed this year.
Sufficient contracts are already in the
hands of the secretary to make it GER
tain that Western Montana will see
the greatest array of wild west talent
ever collected at the Stampede this
year.
Last years celebration was con-
sidered remarkable for the varied
amusement which was offered those at
tending the big, event. This year a
committee of the chamber of commerce
is planning to furnish amusement for
the guests Of the city as it has before.
There will be band concerts. ball
games, balloon ascensions with four or
more drops, wild west parades, fire
works. rifle tournament and other
events calculated to keep the visitor
on his toes all the time. The dates for
the Stampede this year are July l, 2,
3 and 4.

convention if the delegates
wished, and an invitation will
probably be extended him to do
so. He has issued a statement
saying that the needs of the
country at this time should be
the incentive to get together and
elect some man who will give the
country an administration such
as will command the respect of
other nations. He says Presi-
dent Wilson has failed to do this.
No ballots have been taxed and
none seem likely until next week.
1t is practically certain that
Roosevelt is eliminated and some
other person will be the nominee,
but who it will be is very un-
certain.

wireworm, which is troubling them.
This can best be answered by quoting
briefly from Farmers Bulletin No. 725,
which has just been issued. 1t is en-
titled "Wireworms Destructive to Ce-
real and Forage Crops" and may be
had by writing to your congressman
at Washington, or directly to the
United States department of agri-
culture. Or can get a copy for you
if you write me.
1t seems that there are good many
different wireworms, but only two that
are troublesome in the west, in the
dry land sections. These are known as
the dryland wireworm and the inflated
wlreworm. (The bulletin gives very
good picture of the worm, and of the
beetle which is his parent.) The wire
worm lives as a worm for some 211s
years, changes to beetle in the fall,
and the beetle comes out of the ground
the following spring and begins his
career as an egg layer. The worms do
their damage in early spring in the
dry land sections, and burrow down
to inches in the soil, and rest dur
ing the hot, dry months. At this time
they are most easily killed by plowing
them up to the surface and cultivating.
This is the only successful method of
fighting them known, and it is right in
line with the best farming practices.
1t is recommended that the land to
be summer fallowed be disced or har-
r rowed early al in the spring land and often Often
until July or early August, when it
should be plowed and dragged. After
cropping the next year plow the stubble
as soon as the crop is removed. Two
or three years of this treatment will
get rid of the worms on the farm, and
also increase the acre yield at the same
time.

ROMAN IS VISITED
BY SAFE BLOWERS

Shortly after midnight Monday night,
as nearly as can be determined, the
safe in the Roman Mercantile Co.'S.
store was dynamited and $155.00 in
cash taken from the cash drawer. The
burglars gained entrance to the store
by way of rear window, which they
broke besides removing the putty from
the sash holding the glass. Once in
side they drilled hole in the safe
about. four or five inches above the
combination levers and had wrapped
the safe with several pairs of new
overalls taken from the stock on hand.
Besides the money in the safe, they
secured $5. 90 in small change from the
cash register, which had been pried
open, although it was unlocked. The
total loss will be close to $3.50, counting
money stolen and what it will cost to
replace the door to the safe and the
repairs to the cash register.
Deputy Sheriff Engle heard the ex-
plosion, but says it was not an unusual
noise, and that he afterward heard
somebody crank an auto and immed-
lately leave. He had been kept awake
by some horses running around his
premises and had driven them away
once, and going back to bed had not
yet gone to sleep. Mrs. Engle also
how'd +bo oyploc;o,, o,1 oolloJ +o how
husband and asked who was shooting,
but Mr.. Engle did not think it a shot
and so informed her. He says it
sounded just like an explosion caused
by the bursting of tire when blow
out occurs and that he hears the blow
out so often that it did not cause him
to suspicion anything else. -.
The cracksters must have left their
auto in front of the freight warehouse
on the opposite side of the street, as
the tracks We're plain there Tuesday
morning and could be seen distinctly
in the frost on the grass after the
burglary had been discovered. The
only clue is the tires on the auto and
word has been sent to surrounding
towns to keep a lookout for same.
The safe cracking was discovered by
Frank Menager, one of the partners,
when he opened the store Tuesday
morning. A customer took up his at
tention at first but when he passed
back to the rear of the store he was
thunderstruck to find the door of the
safe lying on the floor with books,
checks, ETC., scattered all about. The
checks were all left, and also three
chisels, two braces and some dynamite
with two fuses with caps attached.
The work looks like that of amateurs,
especially when the tools left are con-
sidered.

PABLO LOPEZ is EXECUTED

Chihuahua City, June 6.-Pablo Lo-
PEE, Villas chief lieutenant in the
raid on Columbus, N. M, paid the
penalty for his crimes, facing a firing
squad of Constitutionalst soldiers at
Canta Rosa.
Lopez who. at the order of Villa,
massacred eighteen American mining
men at Santa Ysabel, Chihuahua, in
January, and who is said to have di-
rected the movements of the MeXi-
cans at Columbus, expressed no re-
gret.
The officer in command gave the
order to present arms, Lopez raised
his head, smiled until his teeth
showed, and then, looking directly at
the soldiers, said:

Republican CONVENTION
WILL RUN INTO NEXT WEEK

From present indications the
Republican national convention
now in session at Chicago will
run into next week before a
nomination is made.
According to latest news from
Washington, the entire effort at
present is being concentrated to-
ward affecting compromise
with the Progressives, also in
convention in Chicago. For some
time it looked like there would
be nothing doing in this line, but
late information is that another
effort will be made with strong
hopes of success.

tonic Allies.

London, June 6.-The long expected
the Teutonic allies seemingly has be-
gun. From both Petrograd and Wen
ma come reports that Russians are &C
lively engaged over front from the
Pripet river, east of Brest-Litovsk, to
the Rumanian frontier-a distance of
about $50 miles.
Russians everywhere are using large
numbers of guns and men and, accord
ing to Petrograd, have achieved sue
cesses ON many important sectors,
taking 10000 prisoners and a number
of guns and destroying or capturing
Teuton positions.
Along the Bessarabian front, in the
Dniester region, along the lower Stri-
pa and in Volhynia, Russian attacks
have been particularly violent. In the
region of Olyka, in the zone of the
Volhynian fortress triangle, Russian
guns heavily have shelled frant of
more than fifteen miles in length held
by the Austrians.
Around Verdun bad weather has set
in and as a result only bombardments
have taken place. No change in posi-
tion are recorded.
Around Vaux and Damloup bonn
bardment on both sides has continued
with intensity, while to the west of
the Meuse the shelling has been only
intermittent.
Violent Fighting Near Y pres. >~'
On the remainder of the front in
France, except around Ypres, the sit
patton is reported quiet. About
nadians are continuing the violent
fighting that has been in progress
since last week, when Germans cap
tured Canadian positions which later
were retaken in hand to hand bomb
ing encounters.
Returning to the attack Sunday the
Germans again forced the Canadians
to reinquish the bulk of recaptured
ground, but Canadians are disputing
strenuously the efforts of the Teutons
to oust them from the remainder of
the positions.
Vienna reports the Austrians have
made further advance into Italy in
the Cengio zone near Asiago. The
town of Cesana and 800 prisoners.
three cannon and eleven machine
guns and 1876 b-throwers were cap
tured by Austrians.
Rome admits the retirement of the
Italians in the Cengio zone, but says
that in Dalgone valley, Lagarisea val
ley and on the Posina front Austrian
attacks were repulsed with heavy loss.
In Southern Albania in the region
Of Aclona, Austrians have dispersed
with their artillery italian detach-
ments operating in that vicinity.

ROMAN WILL HAVE MIL.
LAND LYCEUM COURSE

Arrangements have been completed
by which Roman will have the Midland
Lyceum Course the coming winter.
Miss Marian A. May, representative
of the course, secured enough sigma
lures to a contract to insure the en-
tertainments being given here, the
first to commence in October
The first number, which will appear
here in October some time, is the
Croatian Tambourica Orchestra, a
company consisting Of six people, all
Croatians, using their native instru-
ments. This is said to be one of the
strongest musical numbers this bureau
has ever carried, and is alone worth
the price of season ticket.
Hon. Grandvile Jones of Texas, who
comes in December, is a humorist
lecturer. His talk, "Feeding on
Husks," is powerful appeal for bet
ter home conditions for boys. Many a
sham and false pretense is punctured
by this speaker, and his hour and a
half teens with human nature and
humor.
The Pooler-Dets company, the third
number, are musical entertainers. An
evening of story and song. Miss Delts
has been teacher in the Conservatory
of Music at Drake, and Miss Pooler has
for the past seven years done work for
the Chautauqua Managers Association,
Mr.. Arthur Rachel, the fourth en-
tertainer. is an enactor of plays. He
has reached the very top in his profess
sion. His yceum and chautauqua
work has necessitated his appearance
in some of the greatest centers of cul-
ture and education.
The Edna Earl Crum Concert Party,
which finishes the course, consists of
three ladies'. Miss Crum is looked
upon by lyceum bureaus as one of the
foremost violinists. She has studied
under German masters and her work is
excellent. Her support, Miss Barney
and Miss Kvello, have both had con-
siderable lyceum and chautauqua ex-
perience.
