IN STATE
is WELL UNDER WAY
Yield Is Light but Quality Is Good
Stock Shipments Have Fallen
Off Considerably.

Threshing operations are reported
in each Of the II counties covered in
the crop report for the week ending
August 16, issued today by Chas. D..
Greenfield, commissioner of agricul-
ture and publicity. The yield is light
but the quality good. In several coun-
ties the third cutting of alfalfa is be-
ing made with a fair yield. Rains in
the northeastern section have helped
the ranges and as a result shipments
of livestock to market and pasture out
side the state are not so heavy as a
month ago. The following are the re-
ports from the different counties:
misunderstanding has begun.
Yields in many cases better than ex-
pected, owing to late showers which
helped filling. Some third cutting al
falfa being made. Early corn is very
promising and will reach full matur-
ity within two weeks.
Prairie-Threshing about half over,
with reported yields averaging about
one and th~ree-fourth bushels. Oats
crop is total failure, none being thresh-
ed. Range conditions not improved.
Corn crop almost a failure.
Saltwater: Dryland wheat all thresh-
ed. Good quality but low yields.
There will be a surplus of fall wheat
above seeding needs. Third cutting
alfalfa going on in some places with
a fair yield. Sugar beets and beans
doing well where a stand was secured.

cannot quite grasp the idea of the
war department picking out a private
who could talk Townleyism and pro-
noting him to the rank of "Major"
because he seemed so efficient at
teaching socialism under the name Of
industrial democracy"
Anyway, since the adjutant general
of the United States does not know
him and specifically denies that there
is a major" Horst on any of the
army rolls, it will be up to the man
posing as a war hero while working
for Townley, to explain himself.-Hel-
ena Independent.

TIRE TAPE VERY USEFUL.

Tire tape is to the automobilist
what a b%andage is to a Red Cross
nurse, and a MAJ who drives a car
would as soon think of leaving it out
of his tool box as a Red Cross nurse
would think of leaving a bandage out
Of her first-aid kit.
The United States Tire company ad-
vises all its patrons to include a roll
of it's tape in their equipment. Its
users are innumerable. 1t is most
frequently used to reinforce bad spots
caused by blowouts and punctures. 1t
is also valuable for winding "leakq"
electric wires or making temporary
repairs to broken rods or rafting
parts.

is TOWNLEY'S "MAJOR" HORST
A FAkIR?

Tales told by a man calling himself
"Major" A. C. Horst, who is lecturing
for the Nonpartisan league, seemed
so weird and impossible to several of
his audiences, that The Independent
was led to investigate and ask the
war department for the official record
of the "Major."
Here is the reply of the adjutant
general Of the United States:
"The records of this office show
that there is no officer by the name
of Major A. c. Horst. There is a
second lieutenant, Arthur Carl Horst,
Signal Corps, discharged at Yale In
iversity, December 10, 1918. He had
no foreign service. His address is
shown as 1925 California avenue
Pittsburg, Penn. There is no record
kota."
Without desiring to do Townley's
"Major" an injustice, The %Independ-
ent advises those in his audiences who
are interested to demand that the
"Major" show his credentials.
"Major" Horst has been speaking
on behalf of the Nonpartisan league
at various picnics in all parts Of Mon
tana. A short time ago he was the
principal speaker at n of these pic
mics at Three Forks. His talk in our
n%eighboring town led the Independent
to ask the war department about the
"Major."
At Three Forks "Major" Horst is
quoted by two different correspond
ents of The Independent as saying:
II have won my stripes by serving
my country in France, and what is
more l won my promotion from the
ranks of a private because l was rec
ognized as an authority on political
economics and especially on indus
trial democracy"
Some applauded this statement of
the "Major" and believe him to be a
genuine hero, though some of the
more sinsible farmers in the audiences

ENFORCE THE LAW.

Representative Edmund Plat of
New York believes that if the provi-
sion in the food control act prohibit
ing the willful destruction or deter
ioration of foodstuffs were enforced a
long step would be taken toward re-
ducing the high cost of living.
To his mind the cold storage of great
quantities of food is not of itself a
great evil unless it's owners hold it
until spoiled rather than put it on the
market at lower prices.

LIBERTY OF THE 1916 BRAND.


The people reap what they sow.
If they install bad leadership they
reap the harvest of bad laws and high
taxes.
The people pay the price of incom-
petent leadership and all kinds of
business and industries suffer from
them.
But for intelligence applied to gov
eminent the world would lapse into
anarchy and perhaps into barbarism.
The state and the nation, nay even
the city or county, rise no higher than
the character Of their leaders.
The country and its industries and
development depend on sound per-
manent policies and honest leader
ship.
The country is watching the exper-
iment in state socialism in North Da-
kota under the guise of a farmers
movement.
We tried some of the same exper-
lments IN 1892 under the name of the
Populist movement led by Sockless
Jerry Simpson.
We have the rule of the Bolsheviki
in Russia and the l. W. w. pleads for
one union and the characterization of
industries.
We had the Knights of Labor and
the Farmers Alliance and the Dennis
Kearney Sandlot party in the past
thirty years.
But they have all gone their way
and the mournful procession of false
prophets, quack doctors and dema-
gogues reappeared.
But liberty and free institutions of
the 1776 brand survive and the noble
in her honor still lights New
York harbor.

CONSIDER new
PRIMARY LAW

Boise, Idaho, February 3-As re-
Gently forecasted in this correspond
ence, Idaho is in line for new direct
primary law. 1t will not disturb the
fundamental principles of popular ac-
ton but will simplify the procedure
and, it is believed, result in more sat
isfactory selection of candidates and
with less expense.
The new measure has general ap-
prevail of republicans and democrats
alike, it being recognized, they declare
that there is a popular feeling that
the present primary law is unweildy
and totally unsatisfactory and that the
public demands a change.
The proposed new law provides fol-
county primaries at which county tick
cts will be named by the various par
ties. At the same time delegates will
be named to county conventions OF
the parties, that will name the dele
gates to the state conventions.
Each party acts independently anC
has its own organization and party
is designated as an organization, hav
ing cast at preceding elections for ont
of it's own candidates, ten per cent o
the entire vote cast for all the candi
dates for that particular office. Al
utilization of voters to the number o
five per cent of the total vote cast a

so gives party standing.

Some grotesque things are happen

The loval soldier who has fought in
France must buy his own civilian
clothing when he comes out of the
army. He can keep his uniform for a
few months if he desires, but most men
want to get back into a civilian out
fit. So he is discharged without MS
oldtime clothing allowance and spends
what he has saved from his pay WIN

Team Friday Night, 43 To ~

In the first game of the season the
Boomers Ferry high school basketball
team won from the Newport high
school team Friday night at the high
school gymnasium by score of AZ to
II. Jack Mcnamara was the ref
cree.
While the game was one-sided it
was quite interesting and the fans all
got their moneys worth. after the
game the girls of the junior domestic
science class gave a banquet in honor
of the visiting team.
In the first half the score was "a
to in favor of Boomers Ferry and
in the second half the score was %

first half, Hubert Mcnamara had the
misfortune to severely sprain his left
ankle The injury was bound and he
played out the half but was not able
to continue in the game in the second
half and will not be able to play with
the team for at least two weeks.
The team will go to Newport Satur-
day to play a return game. A game
