of our group to the Republican Party.

principles of human rights has, from

With very few things happening
to arouse the old fashioned enthusiasm
and spirit of party cheer, with few

number of things to arouse painful
curiosity.
Among the first of these was the
cutting down of representation. by
the National Committee in the Ma
tional Convention. Honorable Clarence

does not relieve the impression among
the people, that there are motives
behind the change, destined to elm

Republicans from Virginia, attended
by yourself. at which time duly quail

ANOTHER JUDGE FOR
MONTANA FEDERAL BENCH

Montana in the near future will
get an additional federal judge, in
the opinion of Representative Rid
dick. The senate has passed a bill
creating an additional judgeship, and
Mr.. Riddick interviewed members Of
the house judiciary committee on
their attitude. Many Of them were
favorable and the others have an
open mind, he said
The strongest argument is the
statement from the attorney general
that the appointment Of an addition
al judge will not cause additional ex-
pense because it will save travelling
expenses of the present judge.
The present arrangement, Mr.. Rid
dick said, denies justice to the peO
pie who cannot afford TO travel the
length of the state and take witness
with them to appear in court actions
An additional Judge will bring the
courts within reach of the people.

START PEST FIGHT EARLY.

There is no better way of getting
ahead Of insects that start to devour
the vegetable garden at this time Of
the year than to spray the plans with
lead arsenate and bordeaux mixtures.
Leaf hoppers and potato bugs were
all snugly tucked away during the
winter and have come out more num-
erous this season than ever before.
The gardener who does not have in
sects to deal with this summer is
hard to find.
Potato growers have been unable
to find any spray material that is
more effective in controlling potato
bugs or the Colorado beetle than
lead arsenate. This material, if prop
erly mixed, will not injure the leaves.
Paris green has been commonly used
instead of lead arsenate, but tests in
Iowa potato patches last year prov
ed lead arsenate to be the best. Bor-
deaux mixture still holds an impor-
tant place in the list of spray ma.
terials. 1t is especially valuable in
combating flea. beetles and leaf hop
