man by Ten Points and Take
First HOnOrs

Gallatin county high school won
the annual county high school track
meet at Belgrade last Friday with a
total of SO points. Manhattan high
school came second with 43 points, and
Belgrade took third honors with %
points. Belgrade public schools de-
feated the Bozeman public schools

school speaking contest.
In the county track meet Arthur
Haegney, Leslie Axtell of Bozeman,
and Burnie Smith of Manhattan, tied
for individual honors. Several prev
ious Gallatin county records were
broken, but on account of the mud
and rain the time in the runs was not
very good The Montana State college
regimental band played between the
events.
Bozeman, Manhattan and Belgrade
were the only towns competing in the
meet this year and the teams of each
showed the time and energy spent in
training. Haegeny and Axtell of Boze-
man carried equal honors and each
taking first in every event in which
! they competed, were about all around
athletes. Burnie Smith, who carried
all records in the grade school meets
in previous yearE, easily copped every
event in which he was listed. He sur
passed all previous records in the
county in the pole vault with an easy
vault at 8 feet inches, and experts
watching said he could easily have
raised this six inches or more. His
former record was feet 4 inches and
Athe record of the high school meet
in 1919 was 8 feet and inches.

ed a splendid prepared dinner at G
O'Clock to all visitors. Every member

DATES NAMED FOR
THIRD Big ROUNDUP
Richard I. RingIing Says Roundup
Will Be Held this Summer
August 3-4-5-6

Bozeman's third annual roundup
and wild west show will be held Aug
ust 3, 4, 5 and 6, according to Rich
ard T. Ringling, manager of the
roundup who was in BOzeman last
week arranging details for the big
event. Mr.. Ringing comes from a
family of show people and he knows
all points of the game. "We are 60
ing to cut out the inhumane features
of the roundup and substitute novel
ty. 1t is going to be bigger, better
and wilder, he said.
There will be no bull-dogging or
steer roping this year. An animal is
occasionally hurt in these two events,
and it is the purpose of the commit
tee to make the show as humane as
possible. Instead there will be calf
roping which is much more difficult
for the riders and does not injure the
calves. Mr.. Ringling was very indig-
nant at the attitude taken by the
American Humane Association in
branding all roundups as degrading.
cit perhaps is difficult for an East
erner who has never lived the life
depicted at roundup, to understand
the nature of the show. Eleven
months in the year the stock used in
the show runs on the range. For one
month they are worked and worked
hard, but never mistreated. They live
life of luxury compared to the horse
which slips and strains as it pulls a
heavy truck over city street twelve
months in the year"
If the present plans Of the associa-
ton are carried out Bozeman will be
the scene Of the biggest fight to be
staged in the Northwest during the
last fifteen years. Ringing has writ
ten to the sport writers through the
Northwest and has asked them to pick
champion in the middle, light or
feather weight classes. He will then

j. R. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation,
who spent Thursday in Bozeman, is
enthusiastic over the work being done
by the federation and thinks that the
solution of the marketing problem for
western farmers is already in sight,
according to an interview given to
the courier just before he left on
the afternoon train. Mr.. Howard is
hopeful for the completion of the deep
water way to the Great Lakes, a pro-
ject which is being fostered by the
federation and which will add at least
10 cents a bushel to the price obtain
ed for Montana wheat, and is hope
full for lower freight rates of basic
farm commodities. He likewise prais-
ed the looks of the Gallatin valley.

 Attention Is Filed

Mobile, January 2S.-(Special )-The first suit filed on the gulf coast under the recently enacted law forbiddng owners or masters of vessels to deduct the hospital bills of diseased alien sea men was entered in the federal court here today by Gustave c. Brice, mem Der of the crew of the United States shipping board steamer Lake Gardner. The government is made the defendant in the case.
 Brice claims that he was sent to the hospital upon his arrival here by the quarantine officers and that his bill of A7.50 was deducted from his wages, de- spite protest to the shipping board offl- cials here. He states that a copy of tho law forbidding this was shown to the of- ficials, still without avail. The law be- came effective early in the year.

Under the law, the ships are made responsible for the hospital bills of these men.

 SEND REPRESENTATIVES
By Assoclated Press

London January 2s.-Botb the Turk ish and Greek governments have ac- cepted the invitation to send repre- sentatives to the conference which is to be held in London at on early date for the purpose of settling the Near East question. This conference was de- cided upon early in the week by the allied supreme council at Paris.
 It Is expected that included in the conference will be an unofficial rep- resentative of the Turkish nationalist leader Mustapha Renal rasha. who was asked through the Turkish govern meht to send a delegate.
