IN the nited States. Four heifers.
one Of them 4 granddaughter of Beuc-

Alta Crest farm, spencer, Mass. All
four are from mothers with a record.
a male calf comes from the Pen
shurst farm. Narberth, Penn. He is
sired by Netherton Statesman, who is
the sire of more daughters in advanc-
ed registry than any other living Ayr
shire bull. This calf is a full brother
to Sara of t;arclaugh. the 1921 win
ner Of the silver cup as the best two
year-old Ayrshire in America. with n
record of 1914 pounds of 4.24 milk.

JULY II IS SET
FOR EDITORS TO
MISSOULA
Secretary S. E. Peterson Urges
State Newspaper Men
to Be on Time.

JULY 17-13 - -. -
The Montana State Press %associa-
tion will hold it's annual convention for
| this year at Missoula on July is.
The National Editorial association
will open its four-day convention al
Missoula, beginning al 10 a.. m. on
July 10.
The state association will only have
a one day session for business and will
then combine with the national conven-
ton for pleasure and routine work.
1t will. therefore. be essential that
the members of the state association
arrive in Missoula not later than the
evening trains arriving in that city on
July II.
Will Be Big Event
These two organizations, virtually
meeting in joint convention, make the
biggest event of the kind ever held
in the state. II is reported by Secre-
tary s. f. Peterson that the member
ship in the state organization is grow
ing rapidly because the publishers of
Montana wish TO take part in the i'm
portant program that has been ar
RANGED for the five days in question in
the Garden city.
The plan of entertainment as re-
ported from Missoula is that the pub
Fishers of Montana who are members
of the state association and the pub
fishers of the other states virtually
will be considered as one party and
sit in on everything, from soup to
nuts"
A Sham Battle or Two
The entertainment program at Mis-
soula is only in tentative shape. There
will be some special feature on rhe
evening Of July 10. July 20 is the day
that President Harding will be there if
he is able to be away from Washing
ton at that time. There will be a ban
quet some time or other. A sham
battle is being planned at the fort, aside
from such encounters that may take
place between a~ntagonistic editors of
the home state. 4 trip is being planned
up the Blackfoot valley, with perhaps
a dinner ia the mountains.
The secretary Of the Montana State
Press association wishes to make a
dent into the plans of the Montana
newspaper men SO that they may write
pom the calendar now. Arrival at
Missoula the evening of July H."
