be an important factor in the de-
velopment of rural Montana along
lines of economic welfare that will
bring greater contentment and great
eli profit to the farmer.
/ If this is his mission and if he is to
woris among farmers, who in many
, instances pay large proportion OF
the taxes from which his salary is
paid, we are of the opinion that it is
the farmer who shall be the Judge As
to the length and breadth of his ac-
tivities, and as long as county agent
is satisfying the people whom he
was primarily sent to serve it does
not seem to us that the adverse
opinion of others should be worth j
| tinker's d-m in the mind Of any
board of county commissioners who
are on the. job to give EVERYBODY
q square deal.
Well take our hat off to the farm
ers Of Sheridan county who are pos
sessed of sufficient backbone, git-.r
and gumption to go ahead and as
sert themselves in this matter. 1t is
time to come to an understanding, il
is time to learn wheher the county
agent is to work among the farmers
for the farmers or among the far,n-
eTs for somebody else, and who he IS
supposed to please the farmer or the
sroall-town tinhorn politician.
Resolutions were passed by Execu-
tive Committee of Farm Bureau, pro
testing against removal of County
/ Agent from office as follows:
Whereas, the Honorable Board oil
County Commissioners of Sheridan
county has seen fit to use their au.
thority to remove Mr.. E. w. Ander
son from office as Agricultural Agent
for the county, without due consulta-
ton with cooperating agencies, and
without giving Mr. Anderson reason,
able time in which to close up tie
work of the year, and
Whereas, we the members of tbs
Executive Committee of the Farr-
Bureau Of Sheridan county are &C.
quainted, Individually, and as a con-.
nlittee, with the work of Mr.. Ander.
son, and value his leadership, anc
believe in his efficiency and integrit,
in serving the farmers through Ii;
Office, and
Whereas, we have called upon SAT-
Honorable Board to show just cause
why Mr.. Anderson should be removed
and they have failed to show such
cause, and
Whereas, we have respectfully Pc
titioned said Honorable Board in the
name of the organization whom we
represent, to reconsider their action
in removing Mr.. Anderson, and they
have failed to consider
Be It Resolved, That we hereby
voice unanimous protest against their
action in removing him, and
That copy of these resolutions be

MINERS STRIKE IMPROBABLE.

T. l.. Lewis, secretary Of the New
River Coal Operators Association,
is not looking for general strike
of the bituminous miners in the
central competitive field on Nov
1st. even though that eventuality
was announced by John l.. Lewis,
active president of the United Mine
Workers, before leaving the Phila-
delphia conference between opera
tors and miners on Oct. nth for
his home in indianapolis. John l..
Lewis, in his announcement, stated
that he would issue the strike call
by telegraph Monday, and that no
strike vote would be necessary be-
cause of the action of the recent
convention in Cleveland.
81 cannot believe" said r. l..
Lewis, "that the miners will jeop-
ardize all they have gained in the
past twenty years from arbitration,
cancellation and negotiations, by
persistence in this one issue, which
on the part of the miners, has taken
the form Of flat demand for a Six
hour day, 60 per cent increase in
pay and abolition of the strike pen

CHAMPION BEAR HUNTER,

Charley MullenS, son of Jack
MullenS, of Williams River, while
here at court Friday, was a caller
at our office and told us of the en-
counter Of his father with an old
bear and four cubs.
Mr.. Mullens while squirrel hunt
ing last week on Laurel Fork of
Williams River was attacked by an
old bear and four cubs. Having
nothing but shot gun and small
shot, the chances of successful
fight did not look good to Mr.. Null
lens However. he had no time to
hesitate, and being an old hunter,
he knew that prompt action was
necessary to the preservation of his
anatomy and proceeded to get busy.
When the smoke had cleared away,
Mr.. Mullens found he had killed
one of the cubs, and wounded the
mother and another and came out
lucky as usual without a scratch.
Mr.. Mullcns is SO years old and
this makes his 53rd bear he has
killed. This is the first time in all
his hunting that he has met with
and been attacked by mother

PRINTS MAGAZINE WITHOUT TYPE.

Elimination of typesetting, one
of the costlieSt operations of maga-
zine production, by the use of plates
made by photographing the origin
al typewriter copy, has been ac-
complished in the October 18th
issue of the Literary Digest, COM
prising so pages.
This radical innovation, which
was brought about by the printers
strike in New York City, leads the
publishers to suggest that "it is pos
Sible in this age of marvels that the
whole future of magazine produc-
tion may be revolutioniZed by the
elimination Of typesetting."
The makeup of the magazine is
in no way changed, The only differ
cnce being that the style of type is
that used in typewriters and is uni
form in all the reading matter
throughout the number. The right
hand side Of each column is irz
regular as in ordinary typewritten
copy. Each page is in effect pho
tographic copy Of the original ar
ticle as written on the typewriter.

Drainage of wet lands in the
southern states is proceeding so
rapidly, according to department
of agriculture estimates, that by
1920, 100000 acres of land will
have been included in completed
projects. Drainage districts have
been established in almost every
State in the territory, according to
S. II. McCory, expert for the de-
partment, North Carolina having
the largest number at present.
There are considerable areas of
drained land, not yet fully occu-
pied, that is available for settlers
in many parts of the south, scatter
ed in different localities between
eastern Missouri and the Everglades
of Florida and from eastern Caro-
lima practically to the Texas line.
Two hundred and ninety thous-
and acres of land have been drained
in two large districts in Boliver
and Washington counties, Miss.
The, reclamation of the Florida
Everglades is being continued by
the State of Florida. Four new
drainage districts have been Great
ed in the Everglades, each embrac-
ing about 25 per cent of the total
area of that vast region.
