Tolls Joke on herselT,

The other morning when Mrs.

husband to the door as he was about
to start on his way to his work, she
lovingly called out to Am: "Good-by,
sweetheart" Soon after Mrs. B
and their little daughter went to the
door with Mr.. b. He kissed the
little one and said good-by to Mrs.
b. She, not wishing to be out
done by her happy neighbor, called to
Mr.. b as he was half way down

bled and with difficulty kept on his
feet. II saw him shaking with sur

Graduate at Grinnel1
Since his graduation from Grin
nell college, Iowa, in 1911 Davis
has been located in Montana, al
ways serving in a capacity that has
kept him closely in touch with the
agricultural development of the
state. AS city editor of the Miles
City Star under Joseph D. Seaman,
he achieved remarkable results in
building up the paper, not a little
of his success being due to the
manner in which he completely
covered the agricultural section of
the papers field.
In 1918 he left Miles City to
accept the ~editorship of the Boze-
man Weekly Courier, Montana's
oldest weekly newspaper, then pub
lished under the management of
the late Henry F. Sears. There in
the famous Gallatin valley, n of
the richest agricultural districts of
the west, the Courier developed IN
veloped under Davis direction I'M
til it became known throughout the
state not only as one of the most
successful and progressive news
papers in Montana but also for the
intelligent handling of agricultural
problems through its editorial de-
partment.
Attains Huge Success
A still greater field for service to
the agricultural industry of the
state was opened to Davis in 1917
when he accepted the editorship

DAVIS HEAD OF STATE AGRICULTURAL AND
PUBLICITY DEPARTMENTS; HIS FINE RECORD

Chester c. Davis of Great Falls
was appointed commissioner of the
new consolidated department OF
agriculture of Montana by Cover
nor Joseph M. Dixon, last week.
Davis is widely known in this state
where he has been actively engag-
ed in newspaper work, and for the
last four years editor and manager
of the Montana Farmer of Great
Falls.
Davis took up his new duties
on April |, succeeding Charles D.
Greenfield, Sr., of Helena, who has
already assumed the duties con-
nected with the office of agricul-
tural development agent of the
Great Northern in Montana.
As commissioner of agriculture,
Davis will have charge of all the
work heretofore performed by the
commissioner of agriculture and
publicity, commissioner of labor
and industry, the commissioner of
dairying, the secretary of the state
fair, and the state horticulturist.
The work will be co-ordinated in
four main divisions of the new de-
partment of agriculture, as fol-
lows: The division of farming
and dairying, the division of grain
standards and marketing, the divi-
sion of labor and publicity, and
the division of horticulture.
The appointment of Davis brings
to mind the story of John Alden
and Miles Standish. Davis was
not an applicant for the position
but he called upon the governor
last week to urge, in the interests
of the farming industry of the
state, the appointment of n of
the leading agricultural authorities
of Montana, who likewise was not
one of the large list of applicants.
The governor, instead of acting on
the recommendations of Davis, de-
liberately offered the appointment
to him and insisted upon its ac-
ceptance.
Praised by Governor i
In discussing the appointment,
Dixon made the follow
ing statement !

ture, | have but one purpose in :

and management of the Montana
Farmer, published in Great Falls
the position which he leaves to be
come commissioner of the new de-
partment of agriculture. Here
again Davis keen insight into the
farmers problems and his unusual
executive ability enabled him to at
tain remarkable success and he de-
veloped the Montana Farmer into
one Of the outstanding farm jour
nails of the west. That his editorial
ability in handling agricultural
questions and in dealing with the
important farmers movements that
have been inaugurated during the
last few years has been recognized
throughout the country is indicat-
ed by the frequency with which he
has been quoted in other national
and state farm papers and other
periodicals throughout the United
States.

States.
Has Wide Following
The sympathetic and intelligent
understanding of farming prob
lens and farmers movements
which he evidenced through the
paper and in his association with
numerous agricultural organiza-
tons and enterprises has given him
a wide following among the farm
ers and stockmen of the state.
Davis was largely instrumental
in the organization of the Mon
tana Hereford Breeders associa-
ton, the Montana Poland-Ch
Breeders association and other
state livestock organizations and
has been closely in touch with all
of the important progressive farm
ers' movements in the state during
the past four years. Through his
work or the paper and as vice
president of the Cascade County
Farm Bureau he has gained first
hand knowledge of the farm bu-
reau movement in Montana. The
remarkable growth and develop
ment that characterized the swine
department of the state fair in 1918
and 1919 was directly due to the
efforts of Davis, who served dur
ing those years as superintendent
of that department.
Boosts Live Stock Pavilion
He was one of the first to realize
the need of an adequate livestock
pavilion for central Montana and
it was largely through him that
livestock breeders and business
men were interested in the project
which finally resulted in the cree
ton of the $4,000 pavilion at
Great Falls last year.
While with the Courier in Boze-
man and during his period of ser
vice with the Montana Farmer
Davis came into intimate relation
ship with the leaders and workers
of the Montana State Experiment
station at Bozeman and the agri-
cultural extension service, and be-
came thoroughly familiar with that
important feature of the agricul-
tural industry.
Born in 1888 and reared on his
fathers farm not far from Des
Moines, Iowa, Davis never had to
cultivate the farmers viewpoint
it was bred into him.

THREE PRESIDENTS
ASK AID FOR CHINA
Harding, Wilson and Taft Appeal

movement to send aid from America to

One of Pres dent Hardings first off,
cial acts after his Inauguration. taken
when he had been In the White House
less than two weeks, was to renew the
appeal made by his predecessor in be-
half Of Americas sister republic in the
East. President Hard ng said in part
AT this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment In my administration, desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore in
behalf Of the starving people of large
sect on of China.
1.-THE picture of China's distress Is
so tragic that I am moved, therefore,
to renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer
lean people will continue to contribute
TO this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"

been sold to business houses, which
are using them on their outgoing mail
