FIRST HIGH SCHOOL PLAY
THURSDAY, DECEMBER

The teacher training department of
the high school will present the drama
THE Brown Mouse, rural play in
four acts, by Mabel Stevenson, based
on the novel of the same name written
by Herbert Quick. The play shows in
a very entertaining manner how the
modern trend of education has reached
even to the rural schools. Jim Irwin,
who is the Brown Mouse, obtained his
position as a teacher because each
member of the school board liked him
personally and wanted him to shave
wan vote". He introduced new meth
DDS, thus incurrig the ill-will of the
trustees and securing the affection
and support of the students.
"The Brown Mouse" makes a state
wide reputation for his new teaching.
The hostility of the patrons comes to a
climax at the annual school election
when Jim Irwin's enemies attempt
to elect a board member hostile to his
reelection. Their plan failed through
a prank played on them by one of the
pupils.
The cast of characters is as fol-
lows:

pose of this, according to the associa-
tion, is to provide in each county as
many actual demonstrations as possi-

them, each farmer may Judge for
himself whether change in methods

RATE. SLASH Will
HELP NORTHWEST
Cut of Approximately 16 Per Cent
Ordered on Hay and Grain Rates
Before December 9th.

A positive order was issued by the
Interstate Commerce commission
Monday requiring the railroads to put
the approximately 16 per cent de-
crease in hay and grain rates into ef-
feet on or before next December 27.
The order follows up the decision
given October 20 by the commission
which declared grain and hay rates
from the Mississippi valley to the Pa
cific coast unreasonably high, but
which did not carry compulsory or
ders.
The October decision instructed the
railroads to make the reduction by
November 20 which was not done be-
cause the railroads opened negotia-
tions with the commission suggesting
that ten per cent decrease in freight
rates on all agricultural products be
substituted for the larger decrease on
grain products and hay alone.
The commission, however, by the
order issued Monday disregarded the
compromise proposed by the railroads
and makes the larger decreases on hay
and grain mandatory upon the roads.
The original decision said railroads
should reduce the rates of the pro-
ducts concerned by one-half of the
increases given in 1920. The COM
mission ordered hay and grain rates
between points in mountain Pacific
territory at not more than 1875 per
cent above the rates in effect before
the 1920 increases.
Between points in the western
group as defined in it's decision where
40 per cent increases were allowed in
1920 the commission Monday ordered
them made effective as 20 per cent;
beween other western group points the
commission held rates shall not ex-
ceed 17.5 per cent above the old
schedules and between points in the
mountain-P Pacific group and points in
the western group the increase above
the old 1920 schedule shall be held to
16 2-3 per cent. The effect of the
order thus is to make specific the per-
centage of reduction in the territory
concerned. The commission also re-
iterated it's decision requiring the
roads to fix rates for coarse grain
such as corn at 10 per cent less thar
the rates on wheat. The western grour
mentioned in the order includes ter.
ritory between the Mississippi ane
Illinois rivers and the north and soutl
boundary on which the state of Nortl
Dakota, Montana, South Dakota, Wy
oming and Nebraska join, and extend
ing south to Ell Paso, Texas. Tn
mountain-Pacific group lies between
the western group and the Pacific
coast.

Helena Reports Show Greatest Fall
For Month In Twenty-Five Years.
ChinOOks Follow.

The storm which struck Montana
the latter part of last week was the

cally at a standstill Monday due to
the heavy drifts, snow falling to a

out the northeastern portion of the
state the snowfall was not heavy but
the weather was bitterly cold, the mer-
curry dropping to % below zero at

The supreme court of North Dakota
late Monday took under consideration
the petition of five taxpayers for an
order temporarily restraining the
state canvassing board from canvass
ing the recall election ballots on We'd
nesday.
Attorneys for the taxpayers to nulli-
fly the election asked the court to hear
them tuesday but the court decided
upon an immediate hearing and after
presentation of the case by S. E. Ellis
worth permitted Ellsworth to file a
citation of additional authorities Tues
day.
The petitioners asked that the recall
which resulted in the election of R. A.
Nestos as governor, Sveinbjorn John
son, attorney general, and Joseph A,
Kitchen, commissioner of agriculture
and labor be nulllfied on the ground
that there was not sufficient num-
Der of valid signatures to the petitions
to obtain such an election.
They also alleged that "the number
of signatures, but once counted, to
said purposed petitions, of qualified
electors of said state, whos voted al
the election in November, 1920, fol
governor, did not exceed the number
of 60,O0O," and that the secretary Of

Mr.. Campbell will be- accompanied

that the meeting will be held. Mr..
Campbell, who is now farm adviser
for the Southern Pacific railroad and
who this year is conducting important
experiment in row cultivation, is an
interesting speaker and man who
has enviable record of achievement.
He is the author of several noted
books on dry farming which are now
used as textbooks in Germany and
other countries, and in America he is
regarded as the greatest authority on
this subject. He has talked to more
western farmers than any other speak

"The situation here is nothing COM

The manner in which the arrests
were made in Harve, by bench war

under cover men had been sent into
the district, rather than by raids and
through warrants issued by a United

Non-P Partisan League To
Fight Recall Election

1921, and who had subscribed said pc
titions two or more times"
An affidavit by George Laird, head
of the taxpayers committee, which in
stituted the election suit, said that
from an investigation it was ascer-
tained "that more than 5000 persons
have signed their names twice upon
said petitions and that if said names
were not signed by the said persons
themselves, some were forged" and
that "more than 10000 persons have
signed the recall election petitions who
did not vote for governor at the gen.
eral election of 1920" and that "more
than 100 persons have signed the said
petitions who were not citizens of the
state"
He further alleged that "on the
some petitions appear the names of a
large number of persons who had been
dead for long time prior to the time
their signatures were purported to
have been affixed" and that "those
who circulated the said petitions
knew that the said names OF
such dead men were affixed" He
alleged that the original petitions
show on their face that the
names of as many as 20 persons
have been signed by the same individ-
ual and in the same handwriting"
The election of October %, sought
to be nullified by these proceedings
resulted in the recall of Governor

and the election of their independent
