WILL PLAY
BIG GAMES THIS WEEK

The two most important games of
the Bobcat basketball schedule will
be played this week when on Friday
and Saturday nights the local team
will meet the strong five represent
ing the State university at Missoula.
The two teams annually play four
games, two in each city. At the
games played here earlier in the sea-
son the college won one, the universi-
ty one. Since that time the local team
has been strengthened by the addi-
tion of Jorgenson, the captain and
star forward of the team and its
scoring ability greatly enhanced. Bet
ter team work has been developed
and despite the handicap of playing
on a strange floor the locals will give
a good account Of themselves. The
Missoula aggregation is a team of
veterans as Larkin, Sullivan, Ahern
and Adams all played last year. If
the college breaks even with the Mis-
souia bunch it will still retain the
championship Of the state, but local
fans are hoping that the Bobcats
viii annex both games.
The following week the Bobcats
wind up the season in Helena with
games with Wesleyan and Mount st
Charles.

or disabled by sickness while in the
service of the United States in the
world war can organize themselves
together and secure a charter from
the national organization after af-
firming that they will support the
principles set forth in the national
constitution. The local chapter,

expected to have a large membership
not only of strictly local men, but
also of the vocational men at the
college, all of who are eligible for
membership. Any man with wound
stripe can join the new organization,

kOpScidl 10 InSs OOuIlSI.)
Helena, Feb. 22-During the past
three or four days a great mass of
legislation has been rushed through
both houses of the Seventeenth as
scmbly in order to comply with the
joint rule requiring that all bills, ex-
cepting those relating to revenue and
appropriations, being transmitted be-
fore the close of the 50th. day, which
expires at midnight, Monday.
For the first time in years the
house was in session Sunday after
having labored from a. m. Sat
urday, until 1915 a. m. Sunday, and
then pesumed its work Sunday morn
ing and remained at it until after 10
p. m.
Monday, yesterday, was another
heavy day on the calandar of the
house but it concluded its strenuous
efforts at 1880 Monday evening hav-
ing in that time passed on third read
ing in the neighborhood of 100 bills.
During the past week the house
placed its stamp of approval on the
big administration measure, H. 3. 5,
providing for the creation Of state
! tax commission. This bill was fought
/ by Representative Cooney of Cascade
county and many others who claimed
the people had voted their disapprov-
al of the tax commission at the No
vember election. Despite this oppo-
sition the bill was passed by a vote
Of 56 to Al and was transmitted tC
the senate where it is expected that
bitter fight will be waged against
it. 1t had not yet been reported out
by the senate committee on finance
and claims Tuesday morning.
A bill Of great general interest, II
B. rs, which would permit Of tn,
employment by the attorney genera
of special agents to enforce the pro
hibition laws, has passed both bodies
getting through the senate by a vot,
Of Sc to IA in the face of hard figh
against it By the opponents of tht
plan. The bill was fought upon TIL
grounds that it places too much pow

eral and encourages spying in tha

nation. 1t was also claimed tha
the section setting over part of tn
fines and confiscations to an enforce

very generally expressed that it Wi

ball tournament at college.
The tenth annual basketball tourna-
ment at the Montana State college
viii be held this year Oh March to
18th. and high school students from
all parts of the state will come to
Bozeman to compete for the highest
honors in basketball, extemporaneous
speaking and essay writing. While
the latter two contest arouse consid-
cradle interest, it is the high school
basketball that really draws the
crowds and promotes the enthusiasm
and interest of the entire state.
In the early days of the tourna-
ment every school in the state that
turned out basketball team was in
vited, but the growing popularity of
the winter sport soon made this an
impossibility and different arrange
ments had to be made. The system in
use at present in picking out the
teams to come to Bozeman is that
the state is divided into eight dis
tricts. In each of these districts an
elimination tournament is held and
the winning team is invited to Boze-
man. In addition to these eight teams
eight more teams are invited and
these are picked by comparative
scores from the remainder of the
teams in the state. There are gener-
ally three or more. teams represent
ing the mining district, which in
cludes Butte, Dillon, Anaconda and
Missoula, whereas some of the small
Ter districts are represented by but
The one team. AS yet no teams have
been invited as next week will see the
district tournaments in full swing.
Certain teams are almost sure tc
be here, as shown by the strength
developed early in the season. HEX

COUNTY Agent IS
CONDUCTING TESTS
BO1ley and veterinarian are wedding
tabercuiin cattle cut Of county.
Free test made for any farmer who
wishes work done.

County Agent R. E. Bodley, assist
eG by several state veterinarians, has
been conducting extensive tests for
tuberculosis on the cattle of the east
ern and southern parts of the county.
Nearly 1900 head of cattle have been
tested and, relatively speaking, little
tuberculosis has been found, parti-
cu!arly among the stock cattle.
Mr.. Bodley is not trying to force
tie tuberculin test on any farmers.
He goes into a community for the
purpose Of testing only when re-
qDcsted and when some interested
farmer has taken it on himself to
make the preliminary arrangements,
thus enabling Mr.. Bodley and his
veterinarians to make Z thorough and
fspid test cf al the animals in the
community. Three days are spent in
injecting the vaccine, if such it can
be called, into the animals and then
the ground is recovered to see if there
are any reactOTs.
There is little tuberculosis among
the farm cattle Of the county, less
than in the dairy herds. This prob
ah,v is due to the fact that the farm
cattle are kept out doors more than
.he dairy cows. When a reactor is
discovered she is killed and the own
or receives the assessed value cf the
animal. The money for the compen-
eation comes one-third from the coun-
,v, one-third from the state and one
third from the federal government
At the present time ne assessed val
ne Of the animals is very close to
their actual market value and for that
reason this IS a particularly good
tre to do the work Requests from
different farmers in the valley to
have their animals tested are contin-
ua',y cominc In to the county agents
office and there seems to be a con
cer+c3 effort on the part Of many oi
the farmers to rid the county of
tbs dreaded disease.
tuberculosis is very contagiou;
among cattle. as is evidenced by thc
fa,c chat In one community Of tht
iN.a'...i I'D were tl-
ca-erec whereas in another section o
e valley over 1909 head were test
without q single reaction for TIA,
ease.
Any farmers who are Interested il
ing their cattle tested, fer which
--.re is no fee attached, should com
mcaicate with Mr. Bodley. Due &
5e fact chat the values and The as
sed caiuation are so near toeeth
or and also that 30 many cattle arr
row on feed and hence easily tested
the present is a particularly goo,
time for this testing. In speaking ol
the matter lir Bodley said, 'I be
lave that the Gallatn is about Q
free from tuberculosis as any coun
n the state and I would like t
see it made absolutely free from til
disease. One tuberculosis cow is liabl
to infect an entire herd or communit
and for this reason we should ge
them al out at the present time"

Value Of Advertising.-Mcn who
re,y taxes chceriully are rare, writes
Richard Srillane.
1t is notorious that thousands OF
corporations and firms increased their
advertising appropriations greatly III
the last few years because profits
spent in that way were not subject to
Federal tax In effect the govern
ment paid Il big slice OF the advertis-
ing bills.
Possibly some OF these concerns
figured that what they paid on this
score was an Investment. At any
rate. they argued that way whether
they believed it or not. Probably the
majority, even if doubtful of tho viz
tue Of the larger expenditure salred
their conscience with the hope that
some Of it would come back. and any
how, it was better TO spend it that
way than let the government have Ii.
Many OF the advertisers got one OF
the surprises of their business lives.
Their advertising pulled-pulled big.
1t brought orders they never had
dreamt Of getting. 1t demonstrated TO
them that they had not known the
possibilities in their particul;l" fields
of activity and that they did net APP
preciate the market they might conf
mnnd.
Now they are planning advertising
campaigns on the broader basis us
sound business. They've learned that
il pays And some of them are not
going ts wait until the present clouds
roll by. They're going To help push
them away.
