HARVESTING ON
NEAR BAlVVlLLE

Bainville Tribune: Grain is starting
to ripen in this section and already
most of the rye and considerable of
the wheat is in the shock and from all
indications the harvest will be most
bountiful one. with the exception Of in
those places where the hail did some
damage a short time ago. However,
farther west of here the crops are
said to be very poor and in many Sec
tons much of it has been cut Tor hay.
The hay crop is an abundant one
and there will be no hay shortage tits
winter. Besides the prairie hay a
very large acreage of millet, sudan
grass and other hay crops were sown
and all are looking good, and this add
ed to the increased acreage into corn
will assure sufficient feed to run over
the most severe winter.
A larger acreage than ever before
has been summer fallowed this SIM
mer which will be great boost for a
crop next year.

FARM BUILDINGS
BURNED TO GROUND
NEAR WESLEY

Westby News: A very disastrous fire
occurred at the Nile Miller farm,
three miles northwest Of town, at IL
o'clock Wednesday night, completely
destroying both the house and barn,
including most of the contents. All
the horses and two sets of harness
were saved out of the barn, while
only some bed clothes and q few other
clothes were saved out of the house.
The fire started in the barn, but
what started it is not known. They
were awakened by the barking of the
dog soon after the fire had started.
The building were partly covered
by insurance.
The Miller family has at least
some consolation in the fact that they
have pretty fair crop. They will fix
up the granary to live in during har-
vesting, which they will begin next
week.

CULBERTS0N WOMAN
ADJUDCED INSANE

Culbertson Searchlight: A Board
consisting of Frank Weinrich, chair
man of the Board of County Commits
sioners, DR.. Spooner of Bainville and
Dr. Harris of Poplar examined Mrs.
Eta p. Goss Of Culbertson on Mon
day on charge of insanity. They de-
clared her insane and she was taken
to the State Hospital at Warm
Springs. Montana.
1t appears that Mrs. Goss has been
acting queerly for some months. She
has been writing letters and messages
to prominent men and women Of Cul-
bettson and other places, containing
strange requests and admonitions un.

conducted herself in such a manner
that the authorities telephoned to
Sheriff Macy to come down and take
care of her. He asked if the women
had been placed under arrest and was
told that she had not, so he told them
to find Mr.. Swanson and have him
bring her back to Mondak.
At Mondak a sort of an examina-
ton was held in the Sheriff's office
and Mrs. Goss is said to have made
many wild statements concerning
prominent men and women.
However, as no regular complaint

surveillance. The papers were finally
made out and the examination held
with the result as above stated.
Mrs. Goss, as she is known is, we
understand, married to Mr.. Swanson,
but has never taken his name for
reasons of her own. She has been
married number of times. She has

Why We'll Vote
For Republicans


Our Democratic friends, some Of
them half-baked internationalists-a
few of them being full-baked and over
done-advocate and W. lay stress
upon this equality of trade oppor-
tunity," and they denounce a pro-
tective tariff as a grant of special
privilege. Well. if the privilege of
supplying wi people with the necs-
saries, comforts and luxuries of life,
be a special privilege" we prefer CIV
ing 1t to Americans rather than to
foreigners.
But we deny that there is any "spe-
cial privilege" or paternalism in the
proposition. Note the following in
stances both as apt illustrations as
how American Industries have been
created and fostered. and as complete
combinations Of the special privilege"
bug-bear. When William Mckinley
was drafting his tariff bill in 1890 he
sought not only to protect existing in
dustries, but to effect the establish
ment Of new ones. Many will recall
the furore raised by the Democrats
because the bill imposed a substantial
tariff on tin plate. At that time we
were not producing a pound of tin
plate. Our opponents denounced in
unmeasured terms what they were
pleased to call "a tax on the poor
mans dinner pail" This led to the
full dinner pail" slogan. Republi-
cans insisted that a full dinner pail,
though taxed, was better than a cheap
dinner pail empty. Nevertheless, the
Democrats won the congressional cleo
ton Of that year. But history JUS
titles the vision Of that great and
martyred statesman. The tin plate
industry of the United States today
exceeds that of any other three coun-
tries. and 1t could never have been es-
tablished had 1t not been given an
advantage In U markets.
Looking over the list Of our i'm
ports to see what we were buying
abroad that we, could produce at home.
Mr.. Mckinley discovered that not a
pearl button was being made in the
United States. Though the material
abundant In our rivers, we were
entirely. dependent upon foreign coun-
tries.
He put a provision in the bill to
the effect that whoever should bring
in a dollars worth of pearl buttons
must pay twenty-five cents into our
treasury. That induced someone to
make a machine, and the man who
mined the iron and the coal, he who
made the machine. Its operator, those
who gathered the clans, those who
cut the discs, those who finished the
buttons, all had work. Within a few
years pearl button factories sprang
up at nearly all the little towns on
the Mississippi, and several other
Before Mr.. McKinley's death
the little town of Muscatine, Iowa,

$750.000 a year in the pearl button in
dustries. and from that town there
has since been shipped pearl buttons
In carload lots. From one bend in
the Mississippi river a million dollars
of claims have been taken, which

die intestate and those whose wills
are prepared in a sloppy manner
the general subject of better testa-

grave Importance.

is that not every lawyer is a good

Why Many Are Illegal

Aside from the number of testators
who prepare their own wills, about
Is per cent of those presented for
probate are found to be the work of
notaries public, justices of the peace,
commissioners of deeds and the like
This situation is due apparently to
the fact that many persons are of
the candid belief that anybody who
can write a clear hand and is pos
sessed of a fair knowledge of the
English language can prepare will
Hence the many which have to be
refused probate because the person
drawing them did not know how;
did not observe the few very simple
rules which the law Of each state has
marked out as the measure to be met
If will is to be properly executed.
The law Of each state, while
slightly different in some essentials,
Is In effect the same. The imperative
requirements arc the signing or

acknowledgment of the testator's
signature in the presence of wit
nesses-two in England and Canada.
and either two or three as the state
law here chances to specify. The
important point is that these wit
nesses must subscribe their names in
the testator's presence after and
not before his signature has been at
tached to the will.
The frequency with which these
very simple rules are violated is sur
prising. They are constantly ignored
by those who either prepare their
own wills or intrust the work to
some fellow who does not know how
but attempts the task with all the
assurance that pure ignorance will
bring into action when it takes its
pen in hand. There are still in this
land Of ours a goodly number of per-
sons who believe that carpenter
can mend a watch and a plumber
can, in pinch, make false teeth.
So we have some doctors, nurses, and
even corner grocers, who seem to
think it their duty to draw up wills
