The most beautiful of Montana's
rare summer days. last Saturday, was
the setting for the first Countrywide
picnic of the Valley County Farm Bu-
reau, held in the splendid grove where
the Roosevelt trail crosses the Big
Porcupine, east of Glasgow. More
than 250 farmer folk were in attend
ance, and an appropriate program
which included the foremost people in
farm improvement work, in the state
and county, was carried out to most
apreciative audience. The gathering
had the elements of jollification. The
majestic natural groves in the coulee
were hemmed in by vast fields of rip
ening grain, whose rich green, fast
merging into golden glow, mirrored
the prosperity, for which the Valley
county farmers have so long battled
the farmers celebrated victory, where
their pluck and perseverance had won
against what had appeared to many,
as overwhelming forces of nature;
they emerged Saturday from the
trenches, in what was all but a lost
cause, and going over the top, they
stopped for the social side of COM
munity life, which they have been
more or less neglecting, and renewed
friendships that will bind them to-
gether in as a part of the great bu-
reau, that means so much for the
success and prosperity of the producer
in Valley county and elsewhere.
President Peter Peterson, of Glas-
gov, called the meeting to order at
about 2 o'clock, and in a few eloquent
remarks, congratulated those present
on being one of the best of the sub
ordinate organizations of the farm
bureau which had achieved success un-
der most adverse conditions. He pre-
dicted that the Farm Bureau would
go a long way, towards the farmers
success. He said that many of the
membership believed with him, in Mon
tana, in which he had never lost faith,
and which he still considered literally
treasure state, for the farmers as
we'll as others.
President Peterson then introduced
Chester c. Davis, of Helena, State
Commissioner of Agriculture.
First Speech to Farmers.
Mr.. Davis opened his remarks with
the statement that this was the first
occasion since he had taken office
when he had accepted an invitation
to speak to a gathering. of farmers
that the acquaintance he had with
! President Peterson, and the insistance
of Mr.. Stebbins, had caused him to
break the rule, and to enjoy the pleas
ure it was to him to meet the Valley
county farmers. With no pretention
to oratory Mr.. Davis wildly portrayed
existing conditions, as they affected

The trend of public discussion
creates the impression that while ia

call for far eastern conference and
is particularly desirous of reaching a
workable understanding with America,
she is surprised at the inclusion of
Italy, France and China in the invi-

ceived ideas, into far eastern ques-
tions.

Paris, May 3O-(By the Associated

told the senate during consideration
of the part of the budget recoverable
from Germany that he had not kept
his promise to send troops into the
Ruhr when he said he would, for he
had to choose between keeping his
promise literally and keeping it in eff
feet, with cooperation of the allies.
NJ. BRAND showed how ''the struggle
for life was pulling the allies little
farther apart" and asserted that the
situation must be faced in practical
way, with common sense, and interests
must be harmonized.
The premier reminded the senators
that the reparations commission was
not under his orders. He must abide
by its decision. 1t was not a small
thing accomplished. he said, to have
the German government ON the fiftieth
anniversary of the Frankfort treaty
say to the reichstag: ,
I'VE are vanquished. We must pay"
But France did not wish to humil-
late even the conquered, although it
insisted that they must recognize their
defeat
France. continued the premier, might
under circumstances act alone, with the,
allies moral support, but. X was quite
another thing to act against the allies.
