 fore, you can readily see that if the plant is to continue it will require the cooperation, support and patronage of your people. Under the terms of our Indeterminate Permit giving us our legal status in your city, the city or an improvement district organized therein has the right to purchase our plant at price to be reached if pos sible by negotiations otherwise the price may be fixed, under the law, by an impartial commission selected for that purpose. It occurs to me that if your people feel that this service could be furnished at the price which they suggest, it would be a good in- vestment for your municipality to organize an improvement district, is- sue bonds and take over this proper ty and operate it in conjunction with the water improvement district, or on c+Jhe other hand, if some of your inter- prising citizens feel that the service should be furnished at a price indi- cated in your communication, it oc- CUTS to me that they might organize a local company, to whom We would be glad to sell the properly.
 Notwithstanding the sOrrye operat- ing results, as stated above, for this lox nntcidn money with which to put the plant in first class condition, and I am advised by our local manager of the plant that this work is practically completed. l am making every effort possible to re- duce the expenses of operating the plant. and will, as soon as conditions will permit, make reduction in rates accordingly. Operating conditions Of utilities have somewhat improved for the last six months, and with the lm- proved conditions of the plant We are hopeful that the operating revenue will be sufficient at an early date to enable us to make some reduction III rates. but until that condition IS re- flected by actual receipts and expend- itures in connection with the servlces which We are trying to render you' We are forced as a matter Of Justlce' as well as a matter of business, on in sistinp on receiving at least suffl- cient sum from our several custom CTS. which will in the aggregate meet the necessary expenses of fufnlsnlhS tho services. Of course, 1 realize that the public, or any part of 1t now pat ronizing our plant, has legal rlght to withdraw such patronage, but on the other hand. in the face of the ac- tual sacrifices which We made dur ing the years of 1920 and 1921 to meet your requirements and furnish you services, your people should at least be sufficiently friendly to our invest ment to meet us half way and pay rata for same equivalent to it's cost and I feel that large per cent, at least. of the citizenship of your clty arc broad minded enough to cheerful- ly meet this situation.
 CT trust that you will be fair enough to give this letter the same publicity among your citizenship through your local press and otherwise, that has been given the movement for the re- duction of rates.

Death Of kzrs. ...,
Nyra Garner Nelson

-, Nyra Oarnoe Noto0n
Our church and entire community
was saddened on the End day Of No
vember, 1922, by the death Of Mrs.
Nyra Garner Nelson at Davenport,
Iowa. She had been i'll for some time
but none Of US dreamed that the end
was so near. The news Of her going
came with such shock that it cast .
gloom over the entire city.
She was the daughter and only child
Of Mr.. and Mrs. L. w. Garner Of this
place. Her marriage to Mr.. w. r.
Nelson, Of Culpepper, Va, was one
Of the brilliant and beautiful social
events Of the summer Of 1921. She
and her husband had been living in
Davenport, Iowa, since their marriage
and were taking special courses OF
study to further prepare them for the
noble calling to which both had dedi-
Gated their lives.
She was educated at Clifford Sem
mary and Coker college, having grad
uated from the latter in 1918. While
attending college she was not only
brilliant in her studies, but was one
of the most popular students with
both the faculty and student body.
AS one of her teachers said: "She
was one of most loved and honored
students the college ever had"
She specialized in both vocal and in
strumental music. After leaving
Coker she took further studies at
Brookfeld, Conn.,, and in New York
under Prof. Herbert Wilbur Green.
She was converted in early life ant
dedicated her splendid talents to hel
Lord. She was one of the sweetest
and most accomplished singers hav,
ever heard. For some time she sang
in the choir of the Citadel .Squar,
Baptist church and afterwards wa
soloist ard choir leader of the Kin,
Street Baptist church. At both place
her work was Of the highest order
The impress of her beautiful Chris
tian character and splendid service i
indellibly stamped upon, not only tn
churches in which she worked, bu
upon the lives Of all she came in con
tact with everywhere.
The funeral services were conduct
ed at the King. st. Baptist churcl
Sunday afternoon November 5th
1922, by her pastor, Rev. J. G
Graham, and Dr. c. C. Coleman Of tn
Citadel Square church. The quartz
of the Citadel Square Baptist churcl
rendered several beautiful and fav
orite selections. The tremendou
crowd present showed how wide wa
her circle of friends. The body wa
carried from the church and laid T.
rest in the beautiful Magnolia GENE
terry beneath huge bank Of flower
to await the glorious resurrection
morn.
She is survived by her husband
father, mother and infant sor
Edward Warren Nelson. Our deep
est sympathy goes out to these dea
ones in real way, for we, too, fee
the great loss.-Baptist Courier.

BY JOHN NJ. POWER
Secretary, Montana State Poultry
breeders Association, Helena.
The Montana State Poultry Breed
ers' association has been in existence
since 1908 and its chief object up to
this time has been the holding of a
state poultry show. However, the
last few years have demonstrated
that poultry is an absolute necessity
on the farm because it has been seen
that farmers who kept flock OF
chickens weathered the bad times in
much better shape than those who
neglected this branch of farming
We have heard countless stories Is
this effect. It is a fact that the
farmers wife generally has in her
charge the poultry on the farm. aud
many family has been kept III gro-
ceries and clothes on this account.
It has also been shown that the
farmer, who was careful to see that
his chickens were standard bred
that is, not mongrels, or what has
been termed "dung-hills"- had
a larger measure of success than
those who did not care, just so they
had chickens. Standard bred fowls
generally produce more eggs and are
more thrifty than the ordinary barn
yard fuock. Also, 1t is noted that
The Powder River County examiner and the Broadus independent. [volume] (Broadus, Mont.) 1919-1935, 1922-01-06

the better the flock Of chickens, the
better care they receive, and this In
turn gives more revenue. The stand
ard bred fowl IL generally bred to
lay.
The Montana State Poultry Breed
ers' association is therefore trying to
interest the bankers, merchants and
others In the state, so that they may
help the farmer with his poultry.
Montana is now poultry importing
state instead of an exporting state.
This IL wrong on account Of the fact
that Montana's climate is ideally
suited to the raising Of poultry. It
has PLENTY OF sunshine and dry cli-
mate and no rats IL speak of-this
latter is very important point as
poultry breeders in the middle west
claim this Is the worst trouble they
have-rats.
The state poultry show which is to
be held in Helena, January 9-14,
1922, at the municipal auditorium, is
being supported by various smaller
local associations throughout the
state. Several Of these associations
are holding poultry shows previous to
the state poultry show and the best
birds from these local shows will be
sent to the" state show.
This association is also receiving
the full and hearty cooperation of
the county agents Of the state.
Boys and girls clubs are being en-
couraged In their counties and a spe-
cial exhibit class for them will be
provided at the show and suitable
prizes offered. No entry fees will
be charged for the boys and girls
exhibits. 1t is our. desire to interest
the young as we'll as the old in the
poultry industry.

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
BOVINE TUBERCUL0S YlELDS
TO ACTIVE TESTING CAMPAIGN

this work or are getting ready tc
take it up.
the supervisors appropriate funds tC
employ inspectors to help the state
and federal officials. In others the
farm bureaus have taken the Job in
hand.
Hills1ale County a Model
One of the best examples of what
a county can do in getting rid of this
destructive disease is found in Hills
dale county, Michigan. On October
"a campaign was launched with
the idea Of cleaning out all the dis
eased cattle. A force of 80 county,
state and federal inspectors was or
ganized. They divided up the terri
tory, giving a part Of a township to
each man. The county farm bureau
furnished automobiles that were
In the communities and had influence
with the livestock owners. BY No
vember 5 every herd in the county
had been tested.
There were 1889 herds, containing
1918 cattle. and 375 reactors were
found. This means that about "a
per cent of the cattle in the county
had the disease rather low per-
centage. In some sections where the
disease is no more extensive than
this, the cost of cleanup is almost
negligible.
Some of the most progressive live
stock counties in various parts of the
country are now taking up the prob
lem Of getting rid absolutely of tu-
berculosis. They have decided that
it is the most feasible and practical
way of carrying on the work. What
was accomplished in Hillsdale county
is being carried on at the present
time in more than 20 counties of the
same state. Similar work is being
done in New York where 10 counties
are engaged in area eradication.

For many years after the agitation
regarding bovine tuberculosis began
there were very few people who en-
tertained the hope that it would ulti-
mately be eradicated. Now, after
many years of effort, first unsuccess-
full but now giving great promise of
success, there are many who firmly
believe that the time is coming when
this scourge OF live stock will be con-
Quered.
This change of attitude has been
brought about largely through the
efforts of the bureau of animal in
dustry of the department of agricul-
ture. cooperating with the various
state officials. which have been so
successful that within period of
four years, during which the work
has been directed toward ultimate
elimination, several thousand herds
have been accredited as being free
from the disease and number of siz-
able areas in different states contain
practically no tuberculOus cattle.
These results have demonstrated
conclusively that. if sufficient funds
are made available, this menace to
human health and to the success of
livestock farming may be done away
with in a practical manner.
tuberculosis of cattle is one Of the
few farm problems that appeals with
almost equal force to city people, for
the healthfulness of milk and meat
is of vital Importance to them. This
fact ought to make it easier to get
the support necessary for putting
through such countrywide program
against the disease. The cattle re-
sources of the country are of the
utmost Importance, and measures to
reduce the risk of loss represent
nothing more than common sense.
There are more than 66,OOO,OOO
head of cattle in the country worth
nearly $3.OO0,OO0,OO0. Aside from
the health aspect Of the problem, the
insuring of this vast amount OF
wealth against loss ought to appeal
to all classes of people as necessary
measure for the good Of the nation.
At the present time various state
and federal agencies are testing about
10000 cattle a month and eliminat
ing those that are found to be tuber-
culous. but it is expected that in the
near future probably 100000 head
will be tested monthly by the COM
bined forces. On that basis it is easy
to see that great progress will be
made toward getting rid of the
plague. for the evidence obtained
shows that the methods now in use
are practical. When the campaign
began most of the stress was laid on
cleaning up individual herds, and this
was the only practical thing to do as
not enough sentiment had been arous-
ed to make it possible to get general
support for a campaign in any local
ity. But the advantage gained by
cattle breeders who were able to ad-
vertise tuberculosis-free herds was
so great that skeptics were convinced
and now many localities have taken
up the problem and are rapidly clean
ing up all herds within their boun-
daries. In fact, at the present time
this method of cleaning up circum-
scribed areas is the predominant one.
Nine counties in the United States
have now completed one or more Of
fetal tuberculosis tests of the cattle
within those areas, and about so
counties are now either engaged in
