taking percentage of the earnings
but giving yo uthe big share Well,
that looked great to me. Then his
lawyer friend spoke up: People will
soon forget about your ever being
Tom Mix and will talk of you only
as Bill Cody, Jr.' Do you mean, I
asked him, that will have to change

CORN And POTATO SHOW
PLANS DEVELOPING
MALTA WILL COOPERATE WITH
ARE
NOV. 9-1O-11.

At recent meeting of the Malta
Commercial club attended by forty
of the leading business men of the
town the matter of the city of Malta
extending its cooperation in making
the first annual corn and potato show
a success was considered. The busi-
ness men, through the Commercial
club, voted to extend every coopera-
tion possible to the county agents
office towards making the show a
real success. A central committee
consisting Of J. F. Kilduff, president
of the Malta National Bank, G. F.
Thompson of the Thompson Lumber
Company and Joseph Sklower of the
Great Northern Hotel were appointed
to cooperate with the county agent
and will hold meeting in the near
future to perfect plans.
Much interest is being shown in
the Northern Montana Corn and Po-
tato Show which will undoubtedly
mark a mile stone in the agricul-
tural development of northern Mon

boosts for diversified farming ever
received in this section of the state.
1t is also believed by those interested
that this show will go long ways
towards retracting good deal of
the i'll advertising that this territory
has received during the last five
years and will bring substantial evil
dence to bear that northern Montana
as an agricultural section is coming
into its own in the way of perma-
nent agricultural production. Roose-
velt county will also have the privi-
lege of holding this show sometime
within the next few years so that the
local residents who can not attend
the Malta show will have the advant-
age of seeing its educational feat
ures some place within the county.
All Northern Montana counties are
back of this show.

BUFFALO BILL WANTED
TO ADOPT TOM MIX

Do you know that Buffalo Bill''
once wanted to adopt Tom Mix, the
celebrater William Fox Cowboy star?
It's so. Tom told the story himself
one luncheon hour while he was MAX
ing "The Night Horsemen," his latest
William Fox production, which will
be shown at the Liberty theatre next
Tuesday and Wednesday.
At the time Tom was with the 101
ranch show in Chicago-riding and
roping and doing hair-raising stunts.
He had known Buffalo Bill for some
time.
