Sport the Mind Trainer.

Sport is not only n great trainer for
the body, 1t is also a fine trainer for
the mind.
To be 4 success in sport one must
employ his brain at frequent intervals.
Whether it he baseball. football. tennis.
golf. or what you viii, the brain must
re used to produce results.
And in most of these games there is
not time to think things out in any
careful. sedate way. Action is imme-
date, so the work of the brain must
be immediate. There is no great hurry
of thought in golf, Of course, which is
more of a contemplatiVe, philosophical
sport than it is one of action

Speakers Style.

OF all present day hatsmen, ball
players are inclined to award the finest
batting style to iris Speaker. Il have
Speaker did last season. remarked one
of the Yankee veterans. Every hit
that he got was n clean hard wallop.
And even when he failed to make a hit
he Walloped the ball and generally
drove it with q smash either to an in
fieldcr or an outficlder. But whether
he made his hitfor not, he was hitting
the ball and hitting it on the nose. 1t
was a wonderful thing to lead Ty
cobb for six consecutive months at
bat, but an even more wonderful thing
to keep on hitting the ball as Speaker
did. from April to October, without a
slump. Whether he can maintain this
pace another year is another matter.
But YOU can gamble if he does he will
not only lead the field again. but will
he up above 400 for the season"
Admitting Speakers greatness at
hat, bah players are not willing to picl,
him as a 1917 victor over Cobb. They
figure in not only Cobb's greater speed
but his aggressiveness and determine :
ton, and they know with what a rush
he is going back to gain his old place
at the top. Under present circum-
stances the best dope seems to be, as
the players themselves see it, that the
Speakcr-C Cobb graphic will be a very
close affair-possihly closer than last
seasons great duel, where Speaker led
by - points. Il matter of only four or
five extra hits in 40 games.

benchlands of Montana were over
looked, but when it was shown, with
in the last decade that these lands,
which had furnished nutritious grass
es for millions of head of cattle and
sheep, were also capable of produc-
ing record breaking yields Of wheat
and oats, there came the awakening
of a new Montana, the Montana of the
farmer. The land hungry of the
east turned their eyes westward and
began, in intense eagerness, to seize
upon the opportunities which nature
and the liberal provisions of the
homestead law made available here.
That they made good is evidenced
by the fact that, although less than
one-eighth of the tillable land of
Montana is yet under the pillow, this
state now ranks sixth among the
states of the Union in the production
of wheat, sixteenth in the production
of oats, second in the production Of
flax, thirteenth in the production Of
barley and nineteenth in the produc-
ton of potatoes. When the 35,000,-
600 acres of good farming land in this
state shall be under cultivation, it is
not unreasonable to suppose that it
will take the lead in the production Of
practically all staple farm crops
that it will be come, in fact, the bread
basket of the world."-Havre PRO

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION

With the passing of winter our
country awakens to renewed life, to
new activities, freshened hopes and
brighter visions. 1t has been found
profitable, at this season of the year,
to set apart a day for observance by
the people of Montana as a day OF
preparation for the coming season Of
growth and fruitage.
Therefore, l, S. v. Stewart, gov
ernor of the State Of Montana, d.
hereby designate Tuesday, the eight
day of May, 1917, as Arbor Day.
Let all of our citizens on this &C
casion give thought to the planting
of trees and put their hands to tn
pleasant and exceedingly proftabl
task of making our cities and on
country places more beautiful to tn
eye and more enjoyable to all VIII
live within our borders. And it j
hoped that exercises calculated to EN-
phasize the meaning of the day ma
be held in every school within tn
confines of the state.
In Witness Whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused tn

LAND HUNGRY FARMERS
LOOK TO MONTAN4

are larger in area and no other state
can excel in
There are in the United States
many great farming states, there are
many great mining states, there are
many states through which flow
streams capable of electrical develop
ment, there are many states beneath
the soil of which may be found a
wealth of coal and oil and gas, there
are many states which are abundantly
abel to furnish forage for great herds
of cattle and flocks of sheep. Few
however, are the states which posses!
in ample abundance all of these natur
al resources, and of this class, Mon
tana is easily in the lead.
Montana is the fastest CROWN,
state in the union. The full knowledg
of the possibilities which this stat
offers to the homeseeker and the in
weston has resulted in turning towar
this state a flood of desirable immi
grafton, which has developed an er
of unexampled prosperity.
Montana is the last of the grea

CONTROL INEVITABLE

FOOD CONTROL INEVITABLE
Government control of Americas
food supplies seems inevitable. Wash
ington dispatches report that the ad-
ministration considers the food situa-
ton, with short crops indicated over
large areas, to be one of the most
serious problems now before the gov
eminent.
Power will probably be asked for
the government not only to supervise
production, but to deal with distribu-
ton to insure a fair supply of food
to every part of the country at rea-
sonable prices. and it is believed that
actual price-tixing may have a place
in laws to be asked, says the Spokes-
man-Review.
Apparently there is no other cure
for Speculation and boarding, two evils
already under serious Roadway. An
investigation at Chicago, for instance,
showed that the storage houses there
are stocked to the roofs with food

supplies in hitherto unapproached
magnitude.
The boarding movement threatens
to take on panic proportions. Well-to-
do homes are buying in unusual guam
titles. Grocers pass along the fever
ish demand to the jobbers and the
jobbers clamor for abnormal supplies
from the packers and manufacturers.
IF there develops any actual short
age of food in this city," said a New
York wholesale grocer, lit will be the
fault Of the consumers themselves.
For months past they have been buy
ing beyond their means and forcing
prices up by sheer operation Of the
law of supply and demand; and now
that the war is actually on and it is
evident that government bids will be
shortly asked for, they are loading up
worse than ever and have us all guess
ing"
Once let that spirit get beyond con-
trol-stirring all the economic factors,
from the consumer to the manufac-
turer and producer-and there is no
saying to what heights prices might
soar. Even prices of commodities
held in ample quantities for national
consumption would shoot upward.
Normal supplies would not fill the alb
normal demands growing out of a
nationwide boarding movement.
Nothing short of the powerful grip
of the government can deal with that
danger.
