promptly and permanently be

WOMEN OF COUNTY WANT
MISS BoRTHwICK RETAINED

TheIboard of county commissioners
Friday heard 10 women, representing
several communities in the county,
present their reasons for desiring the
retention of Miss Alberta BeFthwiek
as home demonstration agent for an
other year. Several weeks ago the
commissioners announced that they
would discontinue the office of home
demonstration agent at thu expiration
of Miss Borthwick's CONFLICT on Dec.
Is. The delegation told The board It
was a mistaken idea Of economy to
dispense with Miss Borthwick's SER
vices and that the value Of her assist
ance in solving household problems
was difficult to measure. The women
explained the benefits that have been
realized since Miss Borthwick took
yer her duties, three years ago. and
the commissioners finally consented
to reconsider their action.
For the past two months petitions
asking for the employment Of Miss
Borthwick for another year have been
coming in to the commissioners office.
Petitions have been received from
Cascade, Simms, Monarch and other
towns.

that more tickets were sold to Mon

their lines.
Montana farmers are heavily in
debted," said q general railroad immi-
grafton agent recently. THE droth of
recent years is the chief cause of this
indebtedness, but Montana farmers are
notEso badly off compared with farm
ers OF many other states.

Montana farmer with 75-cent wheat
raised on $40 TO $50 an acre land or
the farmer in the corn states on is 10
zb-cent corn raised on $500 to $500

tana, there was no initiation of land
values in the state during the period
OF high prices. As a matter of fact,
there was a decided s~hrinkage in val

Montana is on a bedrock founda-

they viii ever be again, and II is to
state that the farmers on the high
priced lands of the middle west are
