BETTER METHODS
BETTER COUNTRY

Editor Herald: We'll it has oc-
Cured to me that | might write a lit
tie under this head that might inter
est someone whether it does the ed
itor or not.
In thinking over the possibilities
of moving to some other place to bet
ter ourselves, as mentioned a few
weeks ago by a Homesteader, l have
come to the conclusion that it might
be possible to find a better place if
one had the price, but | don't know
of any place where a man could get
a home as cheap as he can in this
country, and | believe we farmers
can make this a better country to
live in by organizing a Farm Bureau
and Farmers Clubs and being a lit
tie more sociable with our neighbors.
It is the man that don't have any
neighbors that does not like the
try. And he is the first one to leave
and it is right he should be.
| believe we can raise crops here
if we farm right. l think the farmers
will have to exterminate the Russian
thistle. We all know it is impossible
to raise two crops of anything on the
same piece of land the same year.
SO why try to raise wheat and this
ties at the same time. We will have
TO fallow one half of our land every
wear and keep it cultivated and clean,
and not let the thistles grow on it and
go to seed as that is not any better
than fall blowing. Corn land is just
about as good if well cultivated and
kept clean, besides the feed you get
from the corn. I find that the poor
grain years are the best corn years
and the feed is quite an item.
In answer to the homesteader "a
bout chow many had tried summer
fallowing'' | will say that l have tried
it and find that it works according to
the method used. If you pillow early
and keep the ground clean you are
almost sure to get a crop the next
year. But be sure and keep the
ground clean, if you don't you will be
disappointed. Some people wait till
late summer to pillow and call it sum-
mer fallow, but I find that late plow-
ing does not pay as well as early
blowing, the earlier the better. Then
use an implement made to cultivate
summer following. The implement
dealers in Wolf Point have them to
sell. Call and see them. 1t will be
time well spent.
We don't depend altogether on
grain. We believe it is god policy to
keep some good cows and raise plen-
ty Of feed for them instead Of all
grain. And a good flock Of chickens
helps. SO we have something to buy
groceries with when we go to town.
Our COW and chickens keep a family
Of eight the year round, so there is no
danger Of us starving even if We
don't raise any grain, if we can have
feed for the COWS and chickens. So
we think good cows and chickens will
keep a homesteader on his land.

THE LAW OF MAN
The Peoples Forum,
Wolf Point Herald.


Wolf Point Herald.
My Dear Editor:
l have read the opinions of others
through the columns of your paper.
Now kindly allow me space to
press my opinions, so that others may
hear and judge whether or not /
speak the truth.
1t is sometimes only the turn Of a
straw that makes men criminals, or
makes them what the world terms
good citizens. At the present time
there are many people starving, not
only in the United States but in our
own community. Let those whom
the law protects consider it a pro-
~tector: when did it ever protect the
poor man? The government of a
state, the institutions of law, profess
to provide for all those who "obey'.
Mark a man hungers-do you feed
him? He is naked-do you clothe
him? If not, you break your
nant, yo udrive him back to the first
law of nature, and you punish him,
not because he is guilty, but because
YOU left him naked and starving.
A man will steal rather than starve
It is self-preservation. And when a
man steals, he is branded as a crim
inal. But for hat all important fact
the same ma might have been what
the world terms honest-might have
advanced to old age and a peaceful
grave through the harmless cheater-
les of trade, or the honored false
hoods Of a profession. Yesl and the
same man might have supported the
laws that in reality punished him.
He might have grown sleek on the
vices of others, and advanced to hon
or by his ingenuity in hanging his
fellow creatures. That is the law OF
man-man whom "God created in
his own image, man, upon whom he
has laid His first, His supreme COM

THE OFFICERS N DIRECTORS OF THE SECURITY
State Bank wish to announce that in addition to the read
iustment which has been effected in all lines Of business,
some 1eadiustment in our office force has been necessary, but
we are now back to normal.
With v. A. Lowell, an experienced bank man, at the cashiers
window, our patrons will receive the same considerate, courteous
service long since adopted as one of the policies of this bank.
Within the last few days call money has become easier; high
class bond and commercial paper are again III demand and the IN
fuence will soon extend to the Northwest.
The country is financially SOUND we might say rich-and
our banking structure is sound, even though weak in spots. What
is needed is confidence in ourselves to succeed through adversely,
confidence in the future of Montana and confidence in the banks
that have shown their confidence in Montana and her sturdy pion-
GERS, who were willing to work and undergo privahon.

MAN RETURNED
 TO ENITENTIARY
Governor McRae Orders Rear rest of SIacker-Says Board Has No Authority to Grant Paroles.

special to The News.
 Little Rock, May 14.-A difference of opinion has arisen between Cover ror McRae and the penitentiary board over the interpretation of the parole law.
 Early in the week the board grant od q parole to Tom Atkinson of Cle- burne county, who was serving a sen tqnce of one year for participation in draft resistance during the war. The governor was not consulted about the matter. the board having acted as it claims. under the provisions of the act of 1907, which provides that upon the expiration of one-third of con vcts sentence, parole may be grant ed if the convict has a good record.
 Yesterday the governor received from the Saxton-Willis Post No. 64, American Legion, at Heber Springs, of which c. c. Mccullough is post commander, resolutions vigorously protesting against the parole. The resolutions charge that Atkinson was "the leader, alder and abettor of his stacker sons and other outlaws in armed resistance against constituted authority, same resistance resulting in the death of Porter Hazlewood a member of the sheriff's posse"
 Governor Brough was importuned to grant clemency, but refused to do so and the resolutions declare that the boards action came "as distinct surprise, shock and affront to the good people of Cleburne county"
 After consultation with Attorney General Utley, Gov. McRae notified Sheriff Emmitt Baldridge of Cleburne county, to return Atkinson forthwith to the penitentiary. The governor holds that the penitentiary board has no authority to parole prisoner without the governors consent; that it is wrong practice which has been pursued for years and that he will not longer countenance it. He fur ther holds that the parole, which must be approved by him, is invalid be- cause it was not recommended by the prosecuting attorney.

 BATTLE RACES
Forty Miners Hemmed in by At tacking FOrces-Three Men Reported Killed in Fighting Yesterday.

Williamson, w. Va, May 13-Three men are reported by state troopers to have been killed today in a terrific battle. Telephone reports to the of flee of the New Howard Coal Com pany at Gates, indicated that 40 min CTS are surrounded by belligerent forces.

 The reports from the New Howard Company indicated that heavy firing also had begun at their mines at Gates, between Matewan and Sprigg. Advices to the company relative to the 40 miners being hemmed in said the men had taken refuge in sheltered spots in their camp and were being subjected to veritable hail of bullets.
 The mountain battle over the seven mile front from Rwal, w. Va, to Maccar, Ky, in the Williams coal dis trict, believed by authorities to be an outgrowth of disturbed industrial conditions, was peneral again today, according to passengers arriving on late afternoon trains from the trou- bled area. Terrorized women and children were reported hiding in eel lars and dugouts, in many cases with out food and water, reports said.
 Dan Whit, said by the state police to be a nonunion miner, was shot and killed at Matewan when he ventured out to obtain water for women and children, according to reports from that mining village.
 State troopers, working in the fir ing zone, reported today that most of the shooting was directed from noun tainside to mountainside on the Ken lucky and West Virginia sides of the Tug River. Bullets were said to be falling into various towns in the zone. of fighting.
 Richard Beverly, who, according to state police, is member of the Unit ed Mine Workers of America, was ar rested in the Kentucky mountains and will be brought to this city. He is charged with participating in the battle

 This play is guaranteed to be one of the newest and most Imaginable comedies ever presented, many local people having seen it at the Gem Theater some time ago as a moving picture.

D., Dexter Bush as Richard Heatherly Dale Mcdaniel as Thomas Holden, Owen J. Duke as Wm.

What we mean by this statement is that these people are not novices at wear ing stage stuff, and will feel at home with them on.
