BUTTER FAT BRINGS
NEW RECORD PRICE

Stevensville. Jan. 19.--(Speciai.)---
December brought the record price for
butter fat to the dairymen who supply
the Bitter Root cooperative creamery
Of Stevensville. During the month
about 10000 pounds of butter fat were
received by the creamery which

Two carloads OF sugar beet pulp
were received in Stevensville this week

farmers in this section as feed. The
sugar beet pulp is said to be equal
pound for pound to corn as feed, and
the market price is now $3.50 ton.
as against $45 per ton for corn. The
pulp which is now being fed to stock
will give the dairymen a practical
knowledge Of it's uses for feed. An
other carload is expected to arrive
here in about 80 days.
With the establishment Of the sugar
factory at Milloula and the proposed
pulp dryer which Is to be run in con :

for Georgia This report calls atten.

In answer to an inquiry from the
commissioner Of education. over one
half Of all the state superintendent
have expressed a willingness to CO.

WOULD TRAIN STOCK MEN
State College to Give
Courses for Boys During
Farmers Week.

In most lines of commercial business
It Is common practice to start young
men in Mt the foundation Of the busi-
ness and let them work up in order
to make competent and successful di :.
rectors, managers, or presidents for
the next generation Of the business,
says current bulletin from Montana
State college. Very few great business
enterprises have ever been completely
developed in one mans life time:
whether it be the packing, the milling,
or merchandising, it necessarily must
be carried on through several genera
'tions of trained men. What Is true Of
the commercial business is doubly true
of the livestock business. Generally
speaking. the foreign breeders have
been more successful than livestock
men in the United States and largely
because certain family has bred and
handled one breed and class OF live
stock from generation to generation
the son taking up the work where the
father quit and continuing to breed.
develop and improve the animals.
In order to develop the livestock
business in the way it should be de-
veloped in Montana. Montana boys
should be trained and developed in
livestock work. The foundation and
starting point for the boy is livestock
judging. This work teaches the type
of market animal that will sell to the
best advantage and why this type or
kind of animal is in most demand. It
also teaches how to select the breed
ing animals to produce botn breeding
and market stock to the best advan-
tage-the kind that will bring top
prices: that will make most econom-
ical use of their feed; and the kind
that will give pleasure and satisfac-
tion to the producer.
The Animal Husbandry department
Of the State college will give special
classes in livestock to Montana boys
during Farmers week, January 20 to
February 3, inclusive. On Saturday the
department will hold a stock Judging
contest for boys at which SIS in pre-.
minms will be offered, divided into six
premiums. All Montana boys under Is
years of age that have never received
instruction in stock judging at the
college are eligible.
Reduced railroad rates from all
parts of the state. Be sure to secure

TO TRANSPORT REFUGEES
u. S. Making Effort to Get
Americans Out of Syria
and Palestine.

Washington. Jan. l9.-Word received
today in cablegnm from Ambass.
ador Elkus ut Constantinople that the
number Of Americans seeking to leave
Syria and Palestine had grown from
few hundred to moro than a thou
sand. caused the state department to
arrange with the navy for indefinite
use Of the cruiser Des Moines and the
collier Caesar to bring the refugees
out.
Barcelona. Spain. the nearest ueu.
trail port, has been selected as the
place from which to land th6 Amer.
leans for transshipment homo on com.
mercial liners.
Officials estimate that ut least one
trip of tho Caesar, now near Beirut
with $500 tons Of relief supplies on
board. and two trips OF tho cruiser
Des Moines. also on her way there,
will be required. The allies have
granted both vessels permission to
pass their blockade with their relief
supplies aboard and Turkey has
agreed to conduct them through the
mine zones In the harbor.
Most OF the refugees are naturalized
Syrians, Armenians and Hebrews.
There also are numerous native Amer
lean missionaries.
Beirut is the only point Of exit
opened by the Turks and as many OF
the refugees will have to travel long
distance by the most primitive means
Of conveyance. 1t will be some time
before all Of them can get there.

MINIMUM School TERN
Montana Needs Better Edu-
cational Opportunity in
Rural Districts.

IN view o. the fact that the Montana
State Teachers' association is working
for = bill establishing new minimum
term for rural schools. a bulletin on
the subject Just issued by the depart
mont Of the interior through its bu-
reau Of education II Of interest.
Speakers at the 1915 convention Of
'the Montana teachers pointed out the
fact that hundreds Of Montana schools
have terms Of less than 100 days a
year. many Offering only a month OF
education. The national bulletin says
that ~ states have now established by
law = minimum school term, ranging
from 90 to $50 days.
]. C. Muerman, who compiled the
bulletin, points out that four states.
Georgia, have no minimum require
.ynentt laws. but that one Of these,
Rhode Island. haasfor over 10 years
maintined the longest average term in
the United States. While the minimum
number Of Nays required is almost in
evayaably much less than the actual
nuIAber Of dayy in the school term for
the state, q majority Of the states still
report many schools unable to meet
even the low minimum requirements.
Within thsspast three years. IL states
ARIZONA, Colorado. Idaho. Kansas.
Maine. Nebraska, Nevada, New York,
North Carolina, North Dakota, ver-
mont and Wyoming-have added from
10 to 50 days to the legal requirement
Of a minimum school term.
/: Some Of the factors that have oper-
ated in favor Of a longer school term.
aside from the general awakening of
public sentiment, are the phenomenal
growth Of the public high schools. the
development Of state financial aid for
weak districts, equalization funds. and
penalties for not maintaining a mini
mum term required by law.
The growth of the public high
schools has tended to lengthen the
term In the elementary schools by set
ting up standards Of admission by GER
tificate or examination which can or
tlinarsly be met by grade schools with
a. term OF at least eight months.
Lick of provision for adequate
funds is perhaps the greatest hind
rance to a longer school term" de-
clares Mr.. Muerman. IA majority of
the states have fully realized the ne
cessity for more state financial as
sistanfe,an have enacted laws giving
state afd to weak districts to enable
them to maintain a minimum school
term. A wise provision in most of
these laws makes the levy of a speci-
fled minimum rate of local taxation
necessary and provides for a certain
specified standard of school before aid
becomes available. These laws are, as
q rule. intended to help only those who
first help themselves The necessity
Of greater local cooperation and aid
Is urged in the 1912 report of the state
superintendent Of public instruction
