STORY SAYS
FARMERS MUST USE
BIG BUSINESS METHODS

Helena, Montana-When Montana
farmers take a leaf from the exper-
ience of the big companies, they will
fare better before the legislature than
they have in the past, Lieutenant
Governor Nelson Story, Jr., told the
representatives Of farm organizations
at the conference Monday called by
Commissioner Chester C. Davis of the
department of Agriculture.
'It is said that the big companies
can very nearly get any program they
desire through the legislature, said
the lieutenant governor. "There is
basis Of fact for such a statement,
but the farmers could do the same
thing. Their greatest need at this
time is coordination. If they would
coordinate their activities, decide up
on program, carefully work that
program out, and submit it in finished
shape to the legislature and then get
behind it, results would be different
The big companies don't ask the leg
islature to frame theirprograms. They
are framed for the legislature, from
A to lizard, and then they have rep
resentatives on the ground to explain
every detail"

GALLATIN TAKES
FOURTH in TRACK
George AxtelI Breaks State Record
in ShOtput. Team Makes
Sixteen Points

With SO schools represented at the
annual track meet in Missoula last
week, Galatin high came in strong
and took fourth place with 16 points.
The Gallatin team had only one vet
eran and did not expect to carry off
many honors. However, the team
showed considerable ability and plac-
ed above supposedly stronger teams.
George Axtell broke the state rec
ord in the shot put when he threw
the IL pound weight Al feet and IL
inches. This is one foot and five
inches farther than the former rec
ord of 43 feet inches. Axtell also
took second in the discuss. Marshall
Mason won second in the 22O yard
dash, and third in the 100 yard dash
The difficulty in placing in the 1OC
yard dash can be understood when il
is known that there were SO entrees
and IL heats were necessary as eli.
minators.

BOHEMIAN PEOPLE TAKE
PART IN MOVIES

Doubtless many people in Bozeman
have thought that they will be had
talent for the movies, and next Mon
day they will be given an opportunity
to find out. This will be done by
Joe Madden and Tom Ward, who have
both had considerable experience with
large moving picture companies.
Next Monday night in connection
with the regular Pantages program
moving picture will be taken on the
stage of the theatre at both shows.
This will be a comedy and the cast
made up entirely Of local people. The
announcement was made at the the
atre last Monday night and about
thirty people have requested to be
tried out.
Novelty is the big thing in the en-
tertainment game and this introduces
something new. 1t also gives people
in communities isolated from the big
picture centers to try their ability as
actors. The stage at the Ellen the
atre will be equipped with six Kleig
lights. There viii be a director anc
an electrician. Tom Ward the Gamers
man was with the Pathe company fol
several years. After the pictures arr
taken they will be sent to Spokanl
for developing, and then returned Il

SECOND MONTANA
|. REUNION PLANNED
Officers of Montana Regiment Want
to Get the Boys Together Here
at Roundup

The old, fighting Second Montana
will hold the first reunion of the boys
In Bozeman during roundup, if the
plans of number of the officers ma
terialize, Adjutant General Charles
Sheridan and Major Williams are try
ing to get in touch with all of the
members of the unit, and will be able
to announce details later.
After long, hard service on the
Mexican Border, the Second Montana
got home just in time to be called
into action upon the declaration of
war with Germany. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that it never got to the front
as unit, for the men were noted in
army circles for being a well trained
group of men with a fine moral. Its
members were sent to different di-
visions, to make fighting names at
the front
Last year at the Legion convention
IN Livingston an effort was made to
get the members together, but the
motion was started so late that there
was little satisfaction received. 1t was
first thought to hold the reunion at
the same time as the Lewistown con-
vention of the American Legion, but
the time there is limited for such q
gathering. The Bend. Infantry will
hold its reunion at the convention this
year.
Roundup is an ideal time for these
men to get together, and Bozeman is
the ideal place for them to meet

Local Post Staging Third Battle at
Ellen Theatre. Contestants
Are Local Boys

Optimism prevails in local boxing
circles in regard to the big fight
which is scheduled tonight at the Ell
len Theatre. There were some who
thought it impossible to put on a
first class match between local men,
but that fact alone is making the
coming match popular. These fight
ers are not "dubs" and they will rate
well up in professional circles. Each
man has a string of boosters behind
him to encourage him to do his best.
The men weigh in this afternoon.
The judges have been selected by
the county boxing commission, and
are all men with good understand
ing of the game. They are Rev. H.
G. Klemme, ]. A. Siffert, and Frank
Boedecker. The referees for the var
iOus bouts have been chosen but will
not be announced until the time OF
the match. Ray Jones will be time
keeper, and Hal Stewart, announcer.
For the last three days all of the
entrees have been putting on the
finishing touches. Fisher and Kan
gas have been working with Battling
Kelley, and Macdonald and Kaye
are working in the college gym. Kel

PRESIDENT URGES
FOREST PROTECTION
Week Set Aside to Impress People
With Importance of Guarding
Resources

President Harding, on April z, is
sued a proclamation, making the week
of May p to %, 1921, as Forest Pro-
lection week, and requesting all citi-
zens of the United States to plan for
that week such educational and in
structive exercises as will bring be-
fore the people the serious and un-
happy effects of the present unneces-
sary waste by forest fires, and the
need of their individual and collective
efforts in conserving the natural re-
sources of America.
Governor Dixon has taken the same
step, and has issued a proclamation
to much the same effect, covering the
same week.
This is matter which touches
every individual in the State of Mon
tana, either directly or indirectly.
The prices of lumber, while lower
than for years past, are very much
higher than they were formerly.
While this is partially due to increas-
ed costs in the logging and manufac-
turing of lumber, one big item, pos
sibly the greatest Of all, is the fact
that our supply of many kinds of
woods is almost depleted. AT present,
the United States is cutting timber
three times as fast as it grows. I'm
quensionably with the fast vanishing
supply of timber in other parts of
the United States, we can expect to
have constantly increasing demand
Tor cur timber in Montana. To sat-
isfy this legitimate demand, which
will be one of the biggest features
in developing our State. it is abso-
lutely essential that we keep Mon
tana forests as free as possible from
less by fire. When we stop to con-
slider that it takes from 100 to 200

by the recent state legislature every
man who is not head of family

in the Bozeman Chronicle
about an eastern cat which
adopted a brood of chickens
after her kittens died. David
Kramer, chef at he Club Cafe,
has a cat which takes a moth
er's care of an orphan chicken.
The best part of this is that
the animal is a gentleman cat.
If Tom allows his interestst to
wander to other fields, the
chicken starts chirping and
the cat comes back to look af-
ter his charge. At night the
chicken curls up against the
warm fur of the cat and they
both sleep peacefully together.
