SHORTHORN SALE
BRINGS FAIR AVERAGE

An average of S208 for 27 head
of Shorthorns tells the story of the
winter sale of the Montana Short
horn Breeders association winter
sale held at the college last Wednes-
day. The sale arrangements of ali
kinds were made by the association,
the using of the barns and sale pa
vilion being courtesty extended the
association by the college.
Considering the times, the lack of
money in the country and the gener-
al outlook of the cattle market, the
price. obtained for the cattle was
about equal to the expectations of the
breeders. There were no reserve bids
on the animals and the q head actual
ly changed hands at the figure men
toned. Only one or two of the cattle
brought to Bozeman were not sold.
The top Of the sale, a straight
Scotch cow, was bought by Charles
l.. Anceney fer $500 from William
Rhodes of Sheridan. William Niven
Of Manhattan and George Lewis Of
the same place were heavy buyers
and several valley farms took up the
supply of bulls to head grade herds.
There were bargains at the sale,
as witness one straight Scotch cow
that sold with calf at side for 1925.
1t was an excellent opportunity to
start small herd with excellent
breeding, an opportunity which Will
liam Niven took advantage of.
U. u Burdick of Williston, n. D.
cried the sale in a most satisfactory
manner. In the evening following
the sale a meeting of the Shorthorr
people was held in the chamber of
commerce rooms and following this
a smoker was given for the associa-
tion members and visitors by the
chamber Of commerce. At the smok
er U. L. Burdick gave an excellent
talk on live stock marketing and
pedigrees.

ROAD BONDS MAY BE
SOLD TO OHIO FIRM

Despite the fact that the recent
attempt to sell $125 600 worth of Gal
latin county road bonds by the county
commissioners resulted in a lack of
acceptable bids, there now seems a
good prospect of these bonds being
sold in time for the money to be us
ed for spring work.
The board of commissioners recent
iy had letter from the w. L. Stay
ton company of Toledo, Ohio, con-
tanning and offer for the bonds. Lo-
cal bankers We're consulted on the offer
and it was finally decided to accept
it, word being sent to the Slayton
company to that effect. The offer OF
the company was to have the money
in Bozeman by February 1. 1t will
be two months after that before il
will be needed by the county for the
road work and for that two months
use of the money the local banks
viii pay interest enough to cover the
cost of printing the bonds and the
/ necessary legal costs. This will bring
the value of the county road bond:
practically to par. There still remair
some minor details regarding the of
fer, but it is expected that the com
pany will accept.

dixon PROGRAM
leading TOPIC

Introduction of bills is following a
different procedure this session of
the assembly than has characterized
previous sessions. There is more de-
liberation of the subject matter and
angles than there has been in the
past. As a consequence, when some
of the more important bills are intro
duced, their proponents will have more
in hand, and their progress should be
more speedy.
Bills embodying recommendations
made in Governor Joseph M. Dixon's
message to the legislature are an in

mittees on agriculture have been max

recommendations for the creation OF
Many persons interested in agricul

heard.
As result of the information thai
has been obtained, the prevailing sen.
timent in the legislature seems to as
sure the establishment Of the depart
mont, keeping the livestock and veteri
nary departments separate, however
as at present. In those states where
the agricultural departments hay,
come to be recognized as among th'
best in the country, such for instance
as in Kansas, the livestock and veteri
nary departments have been KEEP
separate.
Many members Of the Legislature
are receiving letters from persons IN
terested in dairying and the cream
cry business, urging a reorganization
Most of the suggestions favor n

PRUDENT BANKS
KEEP j. S. STEADY

Washington, Jan. 18.-Inflation of
credit and loans has been far less
since the end of the war than is
popularity supposed, Comptroller Viii
liams Of the currency, declared in a
settlement analysing the statements Of
the conditions of the national banks
on last November Is, as compared
with March 4, 1919, four months after
the armistice.
"Son2e of the criticisms which have
been made as to the alleged financial
initiation are hardly justified" said
MIR. Williams in referring to the con-
ditions of national banks. "The
generally conservative instinct and
prudent management of most of our
bankers has been healthy and re-
straining influence to the orgv Of ex-
travagance and speculation which
ragged during the eighteen months
period succeeding the armistice."
Loans and discounts of all national
banks on March 4, 1919, the comptrol-
Ter explained, plus government securi-
ties owned which may be regarded in
the light of loans to the government,
but exclusive of bonds held to secure
circulation, amounted to $12,694,05O,-
600, as compared with $13, 749, $4,000
on last November Is. This was an in
crease, he declared, in loans and dis
counts and United States securities
held during the last 20 months of only
81 ,055 $4,000 or less than nine per
cent. The comptroller added that it
should be taken into consideration that
during these 20 months the govern
ment sold $4,5OO,O 100000 worth of
victory notes and bonds, the major
ity through the national banks.
The total resources of all national
banks last November Is, according to
comptrollers report of the call on
that date, amounted to $22, OBI ,O00, 900
an actual increase since last Septem-
Der s of $196,433, 900 but a reduction
as compared with the corresponding
call a year ago of 1858, 079,OOO.
Total deposits November Is amount
ed to $16,961 100000 an increase since
September of 5000, 1866 but a re-
duction since year ago of $506, Isl, =
600. Loans and discounts on Nov
ember Is aggregated $12,311,514,000,
shrinkage since September of s104,-
248,O0O but an increase over The cor
responding call of the previous year
of $751;, 272,O00.
Comparing all deposits November
Is with March A, 1919, the comptroller
said 'the conspicuous increases are
shown in the great industrial districts
of the east and on the Pacific cast
and in Texas.

Hurley Defeats Superior.

One of the best games of the sea-
son, well-played and devoid of
roughstuff or unsportsmanlike con
duct on the part Of either side, was
that at the Lincoln school gym last
Friday evening in which Hurley 5
high school five defeated the crack
Superior high school basket ball
team. The score was - to II.
A large crowd witnessed the con
test.
The local team showed to the
best advantage and won on its mer
its, although the boys were forced
to put forth their best efforts,
since they were pitted against
a team that has won many victor
les this season. The visitors show
ed such class at the start of the
game that i'll the minds of many of
the spectators it was a question
whether Hurley would be able TO
stem the tide and pull down vic
tory, but even though Superior
scored first the locals soon hit a
stride that won them the game.
Hurley's teamwork was excellent
and the defense put up by the To-
Gals baffled the visitors. The first
period ended with the score a tie,
7 to 7, each team having Melted
three baskets and free throw.
AT the start of the second half
the Hurley boys showed even more
class than III the first period and
almost rushed their opponents off
their feet. They seemed to play
faster, their teamwork was better
and with stellar Individual work
Melted three more baskets, bring
ing their score up to Is. Superior
Gagged a free throw soon after the
start of the second period, later
ringed a basket and added another
basket a few minutes before time
was called.
The Superior boys displayed ex-
cellent sportmanship and were loud
in their praises of their treatment
while i'll Hurley.
Hurley's victory over Superior
gives the local team a chance to
take part i'll the district tourna-
ment to be held i'll Superior next
month.
