CRiSsaoPPER POISON
FURNISHED BY COUNTY


The esaesf sehooa farm bureau
community made . survey Of the
grasshoppse situation IN their COM
munity and found that there was need
Of poisoning 1lS4 acres Of land This
report was turned in Wednesday by
Chairman Albert Liestiko.
The prebism was taken to the
county commissioners by the farm
bureau and tho commissioners agreed
to furnish the poison for the land pro-
vided the community would mix and
distribute it. After a conference
with N. w. Hedden and Frank Bar
nett, June 18th was set for the peo-
pie Of that farm bureau community
to meet at Frank Barnett's place and
mix the 1000 pounds of grasshoppe1
poison that the county is furnishing
for the control of grasshoppers.
The poison has been tried out on
Mr.. Hedden's and Mr.. Hays places
and found to work a complete check
on the hoppers. People attending this
public mixing bee are requested te
bring tight wagon box, shovels anc
pals.
Neighbors of this community moi
having grasshoppers should be inter.
ested and come and help mix, as the
controlling of the grasshopper at this
early-stage before they start to move
is imperative. They will clean up the
fields where they are and then start
to move, and if there are no hoppers
on your place there may be later, il
a complete check is not made at this
time.
The writer will have charge of the
mixing operations and direct the dis
tribution of the poison. This is an
other instance of where the farm bur
eau organization worked a big benefit
to the community in being ready tt
serve them when their problem pre-
sented itself.

hot, tedious day, for the Coliseum had
been veritable turkish bath room.
The success of Harding was appar-
ent in the ninth ballot when the vote
leaped from 139 to 3471s, and in the
tenth ballot reached the splendid vote
of 6s2 1-5. For five minutes after
the victory the convention went wild
with excitement and shouted itself
hoarse and red in the face.
The final voting for vice president
was as follows: Coolidge 674k,
Lenroot 1467A, Anderson 20, john
son 221A, Gronna "a, and Prichard
10. Coolidge was plainly favorite
from the first and was greeted with
great enthusiasm and applause.
Principal Events in Harding's Life.
Warren G. Harding was. born in
November, 1865, in Blooming Grove,
Ohio. He received his education in
the Caledonia, Ohio, schools and at
Baptist college at Iberia, Ohio.
After teaching school short time
at Caledonia, Mr.. Harding began the
study of law at the age of nineteen
years, but soon abandoned the law for
newspaper work.
His first newspaper work was done
as editor of his college paper. His
next newspaper work was for the Mar
ion Mirror, democratic paper, at 50
week. He was fired for supporting
Blaine. He has owned and published
the Marion Star since 1884.
Mr.. Harding's political life began in
1899, when he was elected to the state
senate. He was elected lieutenant
governor of Ohio in 1908 and was
elected to the United States senate in
1914.
The senator was married in 1891 to
Miss Florence King of Marion, Ohio.
He is great home man, preferring to
entertain friends at his own fireside
with Mrs. Harding's help.
He is a great baseball fan, attending
games whenever possible, but golf is
his sport hobby. He is a trustee of
4Juu1ty OdpClSC CuuTCu III M8IlOn.
Wood and Lowden Good Losers.
General Wood and Governor Low
den took their defeat with good grace
and pledged their support in every way
to help elect the republican ticket in
the fall. In formal statement Wood
congratulated Harding and wished him
success. Governor -Lowden said every
man who aided in his campaign now
will get behind Harding. Senator Bor-
ah is satisfied with the nomination of
Harding. It is expected that he and
Senator johnson will back the Hard
g-Coolidge ticket.
Dust as it was adjourning, the con-
vention directed the national commit
tee, in twelve months to report some
new plan Of representation for the
south in the republican party that will
be "just IA equitable" At present
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1920-06-18

was "a safe candidate" one who could
unite the various factions. Senator
johnson, himself defeated for presi-
dent, was invited to take second place
on the ticket with Harding. This he
declined to do.
Then the choice lay between Cover
nor Allen of Kansas and Governor
Coolidge Of Massachusetts. Both have
national regulations for their handling
Of the law and order problem. Both are
progressive. Allen was dropped for
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1920-06-18

the south holds the balance Of power
in the party and never furnishes elee-
toral votes at election time.
Harding Compromise Candidate.
Harding 10 . compromise candidate.
His nomination was decided upon In
the wee hours Of the morning. In
some quarters it is being charged that
the senatorial ring" is responsible
for him. Earlier in the convention
there was no Harding sentiment.
Then came the old fashioned stump
speech by Frank Willis. The conven-
tiOn liked it. Such leaders as Lodfe,
Watson, New, Wadsworth, Murray,
Crane and Smooth felt that to nomi-
nate either Wood or Lowden would
lay the party open to the charge of
using money corruptly. Borah and
johnson were threatening a bolt if
either was named. They decided the
nominee must be compromise. And
Harding was the only man behind
whom sufficient number of votes
could be mustered.
South Jumps on Band Wagon.
A combination of the Lowdan forces
the "favorite son" states and the south
nominated Harding. The south always
is ready to join in any trade of this
kind. 1t is a band-wagon vote. 1t
exists for patronage purposes. The
delegates get the patronage and the
candidates the votes.
Four ballots were taken at the morn
ing session, which made a total OF
eight. 1t was evident then that Meth,
er Wood nor Lowden could get the nee.
essary 493 votes to nominate. Meth.
err reached the 315 mark. Hert OF
Kentucky, the Lowden field marshal
moved recess at 1:30 p. m. to put
over the nomination of Harding. If
Lowden could not be the candidate his
hackers preferred to have Harding.
The big switch to Harding was made
possible because he had been careful
in his campaign, except for his home
state, to make no sore spots. Thru
out the campaign Harding worked for
second choice votes. And ever since
his workers arrived for the big con-
vention test they have been talking
Harding as second choice. The result
was that Harding had second choice
votes in nearly every state delegation.
No Serious Blemish on Record.
Harding's campaign fund was mod
est. He spent less than $150,000. His
legislative record has no serious blem-
ishes in it. He voted for the Lodge
reservation program on the treaty. He
voted with the foreign relations COM
mittee in reporting out amendments
and reservations to the league and
treaty. He was one of the Lodge
group of senators which took a posi-
tion about midway between the four
teen "irreconcilables" and nine "mild''
reservationists.
In the last minute rush 1t was ar
gued to the candidates that Harding

ing automobile and not even hurting
the occupants of the car.
But Glasgow last Monday night had
a real freak happening. Pigeons
make their nests in the gable of the
Thomas Dignan heme and the light
ming struck the gable and killed sew
eral pigeons, but one pigeon had all
the featheH plucked from its back,
left side, wing and leg and did not in
jure the bird. This looks as if it
would be impossible but this is a real
true story.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
IN THE FIRST DEGREE

Jordan, June 17th-(Wireless to
the Courier. )-The attorney of Daw-
son county filed information charg-
ing Herschel Carmichael of Edwards
with the murder of Amer Peterson.
Attorney for the defense will ask for
a hearing and try and get bond for
Carmichael, though it is doubtful if
bail will be given.
The trouble arose over a piece of
land and resulted in a heated argu-
ment, when Carmichael drew gun
and shot Peterson through the abdo-
men, using As Colts, and left two
bullets in his victim. Peterson walked
fifty yards after he was shot. Help
soon came and he was hurried to a
farm house where he soon died.
