district.
County agents were asked to state
the grounds of dissatisfaction that in
their judgment were well founded.
Seven list insufficient moisture or
land that should be farmed and eleven
give economic reasons. Practically all
the others believe faulty financing, too
high interest rates, low prices and
high freight rates are valid grounds of
dissatisfaction. One county agent be-
lieves that fault lies primarily in the
lack of business sense displayed by
farmers and another that too many
farmers are trying to raise crops on
ground that should not be farmed.
Financial condition of farmers
caused by drouth, lack of a system of
credit" says n agent. Enhance and
the individual is our problem here"
says another. "a man owing more
than he is worth and in a discouraged
and hopeless frame of mind has a hard
proposition to overcome" writes an
other agent from a county that had a
crop this year after several years of
drouth, Farmers in general are not
dissatisfied. They have made up their
mind that with proper soil culture
methods and livestock-the milking
shorthorn, sheep and poultry will make
them a satisfactory income on every
farm"
when good farmers who own good
land can barely break even on fair
yields of hay, grain and potatoes at
present prices, it is difficult for the
nan on anything but the very best
land to know which way to turn to
have a chance to pay his interest,"
states a county agent in an irrigated
district. Ellis money is already tied

There will be a reduction in the
winter wheat seeded this fall, the
average planting for II counties be-
ing n per cent of normal. Four com
ties report an increase, one as high as
so per cent.
Estimates of Montana crop acreaees

duce which cannot be moved at any
figure. This necessitates his marking
time until a way out presents ITSELF"
"Low prices for wheat and cattle
and too high taxes" are valid grounds
of dissatisfaction in the opinion Of
another county agent" "Poor nam
agement is perhaps responsible for
more failures than any other n
thing" replies another agent. "The
farming system is at fault" says an
other. "We must have balanced farm
ing, Investigation and crop rotation.
Farmers are beginning to realize it
and al encouraging number are trying
to make the change" Still another
agent asserts: "What is most needed
is an extended and continuous cam
paign among farmers along the lines
Of fundamental principles Of bust
ness"
All but three counties report a big
hay surplus. Two counties estimate
the surplus as high as 10000 tons.
The surplus is reported from other
counties in terms Of percentage.
One of the most significant things
in the county agents reports is the
value Of corn. Where the average
yield of winter wheat for II counties
is estimated at ~ and two-fifths
bushels, and the average yield of
spring wheat in Is counties figured
out an average Of 10.5 bushels, the
average yield of corn in nine coun-
ties was 1876 bushels.
A big s~hrinkage in livestock ship
ments this year is indicated by the
reports. Out Of Is counties, only one
reports livestock shipments as nor
NAL and it is a comparatively small
shipper. The shrinkage for the state,

Immediately afterward President
Harding began delivering his address
"a tribute in the name of the Ameri-

There was unbroken silence as the
President spoke. Every tone of his
voice showed the emotions he felt as
he read slowly and distinctly that his
words might be caught by the electric
appliances and sent winging across the
nation to gatherings listening beside
the far Pacific.
There was a dramatic moment as
the President concluded, when touch
ing on the coming conference in Wash
ington, he said it should be the begin
ming Of a better civilization, a more
lasting peace, and then concluded his
address with a recital of the Lords
prayer, in which the thousands joined
their strong, earnest tones, rolling up
the pledge of faith to the sunlight

then stepped forward and handed to
Secretary Weeks the velvet lined box

Weeks took the congressional medal of

them to President Harding. The Presi-
dent leaned over the casket and, side
by side, at the head, pinned both in
place.
Then Lieutenant General Baron
Jacques of Belgium stepped forward.
He passed beside the casket, then
clutching the Belgian Croix de Guerre
on his W breast, tore if from the
cloth of his tunic to pin it on the flag
draped casket. The Belgian citizen
stepped back and his hand shot to his

HAYwoop-s PLIGHT.

There cannot fail to be much indigna- oon over the fact that Big Bill" Hay wood has managed to get away from the e1wtry and escape the penalty which has been imposed upon him. Delay after delay has been secured in his behalf. He has been given every possible chance to get the benefit of legal defense for his acfs in obst-ucting the government in the prusaEztson of the war, and as the result, when the highest court in the land has refused to change the verdict of the igusr court. he has escaped from the csmtry and avoided the serving of his 70 year sentence. It was nearly three g7rs ago that he was sentenced, and it Nz8 while he was out on bail that he made his getaway.
 If it Is true as reported that he has kctuaHy g0ne to Russia, which story will need subStantial corroboration, the country has reason to be gratifed that he has gone regardless of the indignation over the manner in which he has eluded p1nishment for his acts. There is nc good reason why there should be any desi-e to retain such as Haywood. When sFer they 60 1t can be considered that tht coEnlry has been done a favor, whilt beng in Russia means just that mucf les ezpense to this government in main tatzing him in prison.
 Like a lot of others, if he has decided Co 1ry life in Rusia he ought to be anl, fp get some first hand information whicl may not prove to be quite as aIluring a the wonders of the soviet government have been pictured by the bolshevfiz.
 But whether Haywood Is in Russia O gune other country, although it canno hslp being felt that Russia is the plac fer him it is to be hoped that ne remain tteTe and never considers it worth whil b rEink Of returning to the land of tn frea The real unfortunate thing in con f-ec1ion with his departure is that he df hot take along ---71ly number of thos Nho hAxbor the szzne dangerous poIicie that he does and thereby give the cour kU Erezker re1ief.

MEETING THE ISSUE.

As the result of the conditions which were shown to exist in connection with the showing of motion pictures in New York state, the legislature of that com n.onv edith has passed a law establishing a state board for the regulation of nov ing pictures. The measure was strongly opposed. It met with the opposition of those who are engaged in that line of business and 1t was maintained that 1t ought to be left to the people to deter mine what kind of motion pictures they desired.
 Such arguments as were advanced against the bill are those that have been put forth each time anything of the kind has been attemptedA There were Il ose who were ready to promise that the business would reform itself if it was only permitted the opportunity, that the moving picture industry could handle the matter and protect the interests of the public by carefully watching its produc- tions and eliminating those that were considered detrimental. It was of course wonderful plea to make but in view of the experience that has been had with such promises 1t was deemed to be the wisest course to place the responsi- bilty upon state commission and insist Iron something being done.
 The establishment of the commission doesn't please the motion picture people any more than the proposed bill did. They
 do not like the idea of being placed un, 1 der censorship, but inasmuch as tht law has been passed there is furnished
 a chance to test the sincerity of the pic ture industry when it is claimde that could regulate itself. Thus even thougi
 a commission is established the plail
 duty of the picture industry Is to carr.
 out such plans as 1t may have conten
 plated and by the character of the pic
 lures it produces let it be shown that tn
 public welfare is being considered an that the new commission is not needed l, Nothing would do more to establish con , fidence in them on the part of the peo
 pie and nothing would be of more assist ance in making the censorship which the
 oppose a dead letter. Reform that take place within reduces just that much tn , enforcement that is required from with l out.

 -- Possibly Germany felt that, in spite nj the fact that there is a technical state ink war existing between this country and GeEmzny, it could reach the tender mer- tc1es of this government by displaying .ronnAence in such an award as it might 1nzl1e even though peace has not been de- sclared- It may have been encouraged 10 make the appeal because of the man. 1.r in which the league of nations has Ben rejected here. but Germany doesn't Eet seem to realize that its conduct isn't hnch as to warrant an overabundance ot rrnhdence in its promises as yet.
 The scrap of paper incident was fol 1Swed by the promise on the part oi Germany to make reparation for tAs 1ange done by it in accord with tho manner which has been carried out Ant -Set in spite of the Iacty that it has failet to carry out this agreement it expect fhis country to take its side to the exten pf agreeing to act as a mediator unde khe promise that 1t will "agree withou 1essrvation or qualific ton to pay to tn, nliked powers as reparation such sun ha the president, after examination an, 1nSestigation may find just and right" '' IL should have known before it asaze, St fhzt 1t could not be done.

PERsHTNG,s JOB.

Ever since the ending of the war there has been uncertainty as to what was going to be done with General Persh- ing. With no war he was without a job. There was the closing up of the Ameri- can expedition aaffirs which he has att tended to but since then time has been hanging heavy on his hands. It could not be expected that he would be put back to the work he was doing before he was selected to lead the army abroad and happily there is no war underway or contemplated that he can be sent to direct.
 From what Secretary Weeks of the war department has had to say regard ing General Pershing he is not to be taken from the position he has held and made chief of staff which does not call for a general, but is to be placed at the head of a newly created general headquarters for the purpose of study ing the problems that would be presented in case this country should be thrown in- to a war and therefore have plans ready for their solution.
 It is not to be supposed that this is anticipating any particular clash or ex- pecting that there is going to be one. Ii is a provision that has been made by other countries against possibilities. h case trouble arose we would be able tc move under well established plan in. stead of wildly scraHbling about for [ means of defense.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Daylight 6ayinE,

MT. Editor: The e6htsnued agitation and nonsersical Legislation, fn connection with daylight saving Is enough to canse one to despair of the future progress of the future progress Of the human race In the first place, there is really no sav- ing in connection with this daylight sav- inf scheme. No wealth can be accurnu- lated by taking dollar from ono of your pockets and placing it in another. nor can any person, community or state obp tain twenty-five hours out Of twenty -four by taking an hour off of one end of the day and putting it onto the other end; even though the time be camou- haged by setting the clocks an hour ahead. It is of the utmost importance that time be standardized, for legal pur- poses. Otherwise you might not be able to prove, whether or not your Insurance policy had expired. when the fire occar- red; whether the baby was born on Sun day or Monday or which day you went to bed, Sne last time you attended the club. If any individual wishes to get up a.: hour earlier, nobody objects. but we do object to compelling everybody to Se, up at o'clock because one person want to. If any industry wishes to cc1umencs operating at sunrise.

 His mother happened to be in the kit chen. Harry, have you and the neigh bor boy been fighting again?" she asked
 Harry was quick to reply: Not this time. You know when he was over here last week we made a kite, and you made me let him take it home with him. Yesterday we made birdhouse, and he got it to take home with him. So to- day we dug holes, but he didn't take them home with him."
 Waiting For tho Doctor.
 The waiting room of the doctors office was full of patients. The doctor opened the door of his private office and called "Who is next?'
 ''Well, what do you know that's new?' asked the doctor as the next man started to enter the door.
 Before the doctor could shut the door of the private office all the people in the waiting room heard him reply: ~'I was just reading where Admiral Dewey has captured Manila bay"

 The education which the public school now gives is. betteN adapted to the needs of children than the courses which were taught a generation ago. Today the child learns how to make hifrseR useful and how to do this in an inteill- gent way.
 Every child should beein his education In the Kindergarten, for in it the seeds oi good citizenship are sown. It is in the kindergarten that honesty, loyalty and consideration for the rights of others are instilled during the child's most ifn- questionable years. Patriotic sonks and stories of our great heroes lmplant deep love of country; marching and games develop self-control, team work and
 adaptabiiity; hand work and ncdellne promote efficiency and appreciation for
 labor. Surely the foundations of the
 skilled artisan and the loyal citizen Of the future can be taid in no better ptAes
 than In a weil-equipped kindergarten. After starting in the risht way. the longer the child stays ln school. the
 more useful he wfll become and the
 better able to take apoh himself the responsibilities of life. The school Of te- day aims to make intelligent, efficient

 Some time ago. the CnIted States Bu- reau of Education at Washington, print ed statement which showed the amount of money that had been earned by dif- ferent groups of young people up to the time they were twenty-five years of age. Those who had remained in school until they were eighteen had earned near ly 50 per cent. more than those who had left school at fourteen and had been working for years longer.
 Such a statement of facts will con- vince intelligent parents that they should keep their children in school and not yield to the temptation of per hitting them to 20 to work because the family's expenses are high and. children are paid better wages than Formerly, Men and women are always grateful for the sacrifices which their parents made in order to give them education They know that in the struggle to rnak, a living, the educated man or woman has great advantage over the ignorant ! and can reach higher places and receiv, better pay.
