NATIONAL SHEEP SHEARING
CONTEST WILL BE FEATURE
OF 1922 MONTANA STATE FAIR

While the worlds record Of one
minute and forty seconds for machine
shearing a sheep gives an approx
mate idea of the speed with which
the shearers who have already opened
in Texas work, two other factors be-
sides time will be considered in the
national sheep shearing contest that
will be held at the Montana State
Fair this fall, September $3.50 inclu-
sive.
Contestants will be judged not only
upon their speed( but also upon the
quality and smoothness Of their work
as reflected by the shorn animal and
also upon the condition of the fleece.
". McLennon Of Butte, secretary of
the International Sheep Shearers'
Union, and E, S, Bartlett of Butte will
be in charge of the contest. Six ma
chine shearers will compete and each
contestant will clip ten head Of sheep
Model shearing pens and the most up
to-date equipment will be used.
1t is said this will be the first Off
cial contest ever held in the United
States and in view of the fact that
the shearing season closes in Montana
and Canada, Mr.. McLennon says the
most expert shearers in the country
will be in the contest.

PREFER CATCHERS TO PILOT
Club Owners in National League Show
Strong Desire to Use catchers
to Manage.

There seems to be a strong desire
among baseball club owners to select
catchers to pilot teams. No less than
six backstops will manage National
League clubs this year, nve from the
bench, and Bill Killifer Of the Chicago
Cubs from behind the bat. Killifer ID
an active catcher and a good one. The
others are Mitchell Of the Boston
Braves, Gibson Of the Pittsburgh Pr
rates, Hickey Of the st. Louis Cardi-
nails. Moran Of the Cincinnati Reds
and Wilbert Robinson Of the Brook.
Ign Robins.
Gibson was probably the greatest
star among the lot. He was the lead
ing backstop during his day, when an
active player with the Pittsburgh
team under Fred Clark.
In the American League Connie
Mack Of the Philadelphia Athletics
and Lee Foil represent the catching
brigade who are managers. Mack il
the oldest manager In major league
baseball, having turned sixty years.
He was catching in 1886, and was sold
by Hartford to Washington in the old

COMMISSIONERS MAY FURNISH
POISON TO COMBAT ARMY CUT
WORM PEST UNDER NEW LAW

In connection with the recent warn

Agriculture that a widespread out

BILE in Montana this spring, the state
department of agriculture calls at
tention to a law enacted by the last
legislature to combat such outbreaks.
The law authorizes boards of county
commissioners where there are insect
pests to appoint a suitable person,
who will act under the direction of the
state entomologist, to poison and ex-
terminate such pests. The person Sc
appointed has authority to enter up
on any infested premises. The com.
%pensation is fixed at not less thar
$3.50 nor more than $500 a day.
The county commissioners are au.
thorized to purchase the poison and
other equipment needed to extermin-
ate the pests. Warrants issued in
payment of the expenses of the cam
paign N to be drawn on the "Insect
Pest Fund.-" and registered and bear
interest as other county warrants. 1t
is then made the duty of the county
commissioners to ascertain the total
outstanding amount of such warrants,
and the succeeding year to levy a tax
sufficient to retire and pay off all
such warrants with accrued interest.
The tax is to be levied upon all the
property in the county but shall not
exceed one-half mill on each dollar
of assessed valuation.

HARDING INVITED TO

MissOula Convention.

Washington, D. c., March 29-Pres-
ident Harding is shaping plans for
his Alaska trip next summer so that
he can attend the 37th annual con-
vention of the National Editorial AS
ISOLATION to be held at Missoula, Mon

a paid-up member Of the National
Editorial Association and proud of his
affiliation with this organization of
newspaper owners. Such an address
would be Of national interest.
Preparations are made for two spe-
cial deluxe trains to transport the
editors during their entire tour OF
twenty-one days, starting and ending
at Chicago.
Besides visiting Yellowstone and
Glacier National Parks, the news
paper party will travel over the vast
stretch of Montana, stopping in twen-
ty or more towns and passing through
the mining and agricultural districts
of the state. Part of the journey will
be by water, up Flathead Lake, which
is one of the many scenic spots that lie
outside Yellowstone and Glacier Ma
tiOnal Parks.
Missoula is making extensive ar
engagements to entertain the visitors
during the three days they will be
there for the convention. All the
other towns on the itinerary are wing
with one another in plans to show
their hospitality.
Special entertainment will be pro-
vided in Yellowstone Park where the
semi-centenniel celebration of this ma
tional playground will be in full
swing. And, later on the trip, when
the editors arrive in Glacier Park they
will be greeted in a picturesque man.

ARMY CUTWORM MENACE
AND HOW TO COMBAT r

Entcmologists at Montana State
College say that apparent danger Of
widespread outbreak of the army cut
worm in Montana during April and
May is greater this year than in any
other recent year. Where an outbreak
occurs, it is pointed out that early
recognition of the species and prompt
control measures will save much of
the crop.
Poison bran mash for cutworms is
prepared the same as for grasshop-
pers, except that the banana oil is
omitted. One pound of Paris green
will replace two pounds of crude ar
senic where that change is found ad-
visable. Very effective control meas
ures for the army cutworm are dis
cussed in the Montana Experiment
Station Circular No. So, which may
be obtained by writing the Montana
Experiment Station at Bozeman.

for shyness, took him playfully by the

Parallel of Southland Case Seen
in Arrest of Clara Gibson
Carl in Indiana.
CHARGE ARSENIC USED
Girl ls Accused Of Poisoning Her
Observation-Disclosures She Sought
Possession Of Insurance
and Property.

Greenfield, Ind.-A parallel to the
case of Mrs. LYDIA Southland, the "wom-
IN Bluebeard" now serving a prison
sentence for the murder by poisoning
of one Of several husbands, may be
developed here through the arrest of
Clara Gibson Carl for the murder of
Alonzo b. Carl, her father-in-law.
Mrs. Carl is charged with having
given arsenic to the father of her hus-
band, Frank E. Carl, in August, 1921,
in indictments returned by the county
grand jury a few days ago. The death
Of her husband followed soon after
that of his father and under similar
circumstances. A former husband Of
Mrs. Carl, Robert Gibson, also died
under rather mysterious circumstances
in March, 1920, and is now buried in
Springfield, o. 1t is said his body will
be ordered taken up and examined.
After their deaths, the bodies of the
Carls were taken to Hiawatha. Kan,
their former home, and buried. In
November, last year, the grand jury Of
Hancock county, Indiana, unearthed
evidence that caused it to recommend
the disinterment Of the bodies of the
Carls with the view Of determining
the manner of their deaths.
Arsenic Is Found.
Waldo Cling, prosecuting attorney Of
Hancock county, acted on the jury's
recommendations and moved to obtain
the removal Of the bodies.
The bodies Of the Carls were taken
up and sent to Indianapolis for chem
ical analysis. The chemical report
was that presence Of arsenic in large
quantities was found In the stomach
Of the body Of the elder Carl. The re-

submitted later. The indictment of
Mrs. Carl Immediately followed.
Cling believes that the probable mo-
tive for the murder was the desire to
obtain insurance and property.
It was while the wife OF Gibson that
the woman came to Greenfield about
nine years ago. Gibson is said to have
had several thousand dollars insur-
ance and a small tract of land near
Greenfield.

calm behavior and has persistently
said nothing concerning the case. Lit

previous to her coming to Greenfield.
