FARM MEETINGS
WELL ATTENDED
State College Speakers Urge Farm
ers to Summer Fallow and Diversi-
fly. Big Meeting Here.

The opening gun Of this seasons
campaign for better farming methods
on the dry farms of Montana was
fired at Hinsdale Monday afternoon,
when speakers of the State college
extension service delivered lectures
on diversification and summer fallow-
ing at meeting of interested farmers
and business men.
The next meeting of the campaign
was held at Glasgow Tuesday evening.
The speakers were met by crowd of
farmers and business men that COM
pletely filled the large court room.
County Agent Stebbins, c. D. Green
field and Senator Harmon discussed
the general situation and the need for
diversification and better methods.
Senator Harmon told of his exprei-
ences in the Gallatin valley and urged
the farmers to get more cows and
poultry and help stop the influx of
butter, eggs and other farm products
from Nebraska and the eastern states
He said that it is the sheerest non
sense to allow the cities of this state
to bring in car after car of such pro-
ducts when the state can grow such
fine corn and other grains and feed as
he saw on his trip through this section

the results of carefully conducted ex'
periments and tests. Mr.. Ogaart
showed the fallacy of the Campbell
system and various other mistakes
that the farmers had been making ane
backed his. arguments with statistic:
from the experiment station at Havre
He showed that every section has it:

the adjoining states were limited by
the fertility of the soil. Alberta by the
short season and this section by the

chart for the last 20 years for thi!

and disadvantages of summer fallow

The points upon which the speake
put particular stress were the nee'

LOCATE RELATIVES
OF ACCIDENT VICTIM

Matthew Wrinkle, brother of John
Wrinkle, who lost his life in an auto
mobile accident near Glentana last
week, arrived in the city this week and
identified the body. Coroner Peter
son had considerable difficulty in To-
eating relatives of the dead man and
had almost given up hope of locating
them when the message came from
Mclaughlin, South Dakota, advising
that the body was no doubt that Of
John Winkle of that city. The body
was shipped to Mclaughlin yesterday
where the interment will be made as
soon as funeral arrangements can be
completed.

Montana Ranks Fifth
In School Attendance

there were $500 boys and 56,7S9 girls
of the 113,419 in school. The boys
percentage was 69.6 and that of the
girls was 71.4. Back in 1910 the num-
ber was pretty close, but the percent
age was further apart because there
were so many more boys than there
were girls. Then, out of possible
52,446 boys, 3O,695. were in school
There were only 48,526 girls, but 3d.
773 were in school.
Montana in 1920 had 77,026 children
between the ages of 7 and 13, accord
ing to the census. Of these there were
71,513 in school, giving the state a
percentage of 92.8. That was not so
good record, in comparison to the
rest Of the nation, as was made in the
5 to 20 year class, but it was up a
mong the leaders. In 1920, this state
had 1854 in the z to 13 year class
and 37,919 were in school, the percent
age being 87.1.

FAILURE TO PAY ALIMONY =

Judge C. E. Conner of Plentywood
was in town Saturday holding Court
for Judge Borton.
On Saturday, Oct. 20, the contempt
case was heard in district court in the
case of Millie Blachnik v. Alois Blach-
Mix This is case in which the de-
fendant, Alois Blachnik, failed and re-
fused to pay alimony, as ordered by
the Court in 1919, when a decree of
divorce was granted in this case. This
was the second hearing in the matter
and the defendant, Alois Blachnik
failed to appear at the time set for
the hearing. The Court thereupon,
after hearing the evidence introduced
by the plaintiff, sentenced the defend
ant, Alois Blachnik to be confined in
the county Jail until such time as the
alimony was paid. These parties for

With liz, ,419 pupils to 20 years of
age regularly enrolled, Montana ranks
fifth in the nation for school attend
ance. The 1920 census shows 160,955
children of these ages, so the attend
ance of 114,419 gives this state a per-
centage of 70.5. Only six of the states
have 70 per cent or better. Utah is
first with 73 per cent, Idaho is second
with 71.S, Iowa is third with 71.2,
Nebraska is fourth with 70.6, then
comes Montana's 7O.5 and Oregon's
70.1.
In 1910 Montana had 81 ,468 pupils
out of possible 100,972 of the to
20 year class in school. The percent
age then was 600 and Montana was
so far from the top of the list that it
did not get even honorable mention.
Girls made better records than boys
in school attendance for both 1910 and
1920. But it was closer in 1920. Then

SETTLED FOR PRESENT
Order Issued Saturday Instructing
Men to Stay on Job. No Tieup
This Fall.

The threatened national railroad
strike which bid fair to tie up the en-
tire nations industries was called off
last Saturday when orders were issued
by leaders Of the "big five" recalling
the strike order and instructing the
men to remain at their posts.
That settles any possible chance OF
a strike for some time to come and

 Yearly a crusade is started against the Christmas tree idea, usually protesting the waste of timber and the destruction caused to our young growth through their removal. The Forest Service of the United States Department of Agricul- ture, in answer to these pro- tests, points out that 5,O0O,OOO Christmas trees are used an- nually within the United States.

 Five million trees of the size used for the holiday festival could be grown on 5000 acres of land. The lumber industry cuts over thousand times this acreage in a single year. If on December 26, 1921 all the Nations timber cutters should begin work 2 hours late, the re- sulting decrease in acreage an- nually cut would be equal to the area exploited by the Christmas tree industry for the entire year.
 The annual cutting of 5,QOO,- 900 trees is insignificant as com pared with the loss through forest fires which each year sweeps over 12,OOO,OOO acres, causing a yearly waste of about O,OOO,OOO.

One hates to comment un- favorab bly, upon any measure that may in any way work to hasten the dawn of universal peace, yet there is great danger of America lapsing into un- preparedness as a result of dis armament conferences that are not rightly so named. To be sure the boasted Naval Holi- day" may have a slight effect in discouraging war, but this measure is far outbalanced in importance by the Big Four treaty.
 Why should the United States align itself with three other powerful nations in an agree ment to respect-and possibly prOtect-one another's territor- ial claims in the Pacific? Does America need help in de lending her own territory? Is 1t American to propose to re-

Is the friendship CD of England, France and Japan worth making enemies of Rus sia, China, Germany and 9 host of smaller nations, in order to obtain? What benefit is the treaty to the United States? It is easy to see how it benefits Japan and England in particu- lar. We fail to see anything about the treaty that should arouse the enthusiasm of an American.

THE CHRISTMAS
 TREE HARVEST

Albuquerque, K. M. Dec. 24, 1921.
 The great winter harvest is at i hand. It is a crop requiring from to 50 years to ripen. Arriving late by a single day it is worthless, yet it's failure would mean sadness and dis appointment to all the dwellers m childhoodland. It is the Christmas tree.
 The history of Christmas tree usage extends far into the mists of antiquity and it's origin is difficult to trace. Some say it is connected with the legendary Tree of Time, Ygdrasil, the great tree of Morse mythology. within whose roots and branch es heaven and earth are bound. Some say the custom may be traced to the Egyptians who, at the time of winter solstice, dec orated their portals with branches of the date palm-the symbol of life triumphant over death.
 All dIClSIC I0SSuo O1 JIIt Scandinavians relate how the Christmas tree owes it's origin to the "service tree" which sprang from soil once drenched with the blood of two slain lov- CTS, and each night during the Christmas season mysterious lights played among it's branch es. To this legend may per haps be traced our custom of Illuminating the tree when darkness comes. Among the Greeks, Christmas is known as the feast of lights.
 To different localities the term Christmas tree may mean fir, spruce, pine, cedar, or even magnolia, for each region makes use of the most suitable species found near it's markets. In the vicinity of Chicago a short-needle pine found in Michigan and Wisconsin may be used. On the Pacific Coast i the white fir finds favor, while | Ohio, Norway spruce is largely used. In and Virginia the scrub pine finds it's way into many homes, and farther south cedar and holly.
 But the Christmas tree de luxe is the balsam fir. Of
