paign made by County Attorney T. E. Bunker and
Stock Inspector w. A. Richardson, in following up
clues after the disappearance Of the cattle which |
Miller afterwards plead guilty Of having stolen.
The investigation made by these two men brought |
SO much evidence to bear in the case that trial
was made unnecessary thus saving the county con-
siderable expense Two other counts were charged
against Miller to which he also pleaded guilty, then
later Withdrew the plea, leaving only the one
charge upon which he might be sentenced.
The sentence was not.severe enough, although
it may be that it was al the law permitted. AS
it stands the man will, upon good behavior, be
eligible to parole at the end Of fourteen months
That will be entirely too short time for proper
punishment of the crime committed Cattle
stealing has developed into -pastime rather than
risk it seems in this district, or rather had un-
| til the county attorney started to break up the
system. So many men have complained of loos-
ing stock, without having been able to secure any
redress, that the time has arrived when drastic
action must be taken. For that reason when the
crime has been proven against a man, he should
receive the very heaviest possible sentence as well
to punish the convicted man, as to serve as
warning to all others who may be following the
same practice, showing them just what they may
expect when apprehended.
With the effort being made by stockmen and
farmers in the Gallatin valley to develop high
grade herds Of pure bred cattle, both for beef
and for dairy purposes, every protection must bt
assured them. They ought TO have the protection
of the law to the fullest extent and when men are
convicted Of the crime of cattle stealing, these
farmers and stockmen should have the satisfac
tion of knowing the culprt has received the heav
lest sentence the law permits. If this is not done
many viii become discouraged if the practice O
} stealing is not stopped, and the development O
the industry will be retarded.

Gated according to the needs of the
people.
BY careful planning in all these di-
rections the results have been to build
up beautiful, desirable local centers,
that are of real service to the people
and they present quite a contrast to
the local centers which in so many
places have, like Topsy, "just
growed," and are about as unattrac-
tive as anything could be.
1t is recognized, however that the
new settler in new country must
have the help and counsel of an ex-
pert, who is familiare with conditions
and so district agricultural agent is
employed by the land company and is
under their direction, who gives al
his time to advising with the farmers
on their practical agricultural ano
business problems. In educationa
matters the state agricultural exten
sion service works in cooperation
with their agent the same as will
the county agricultural agents.
, Best of all while this plan of sell
ing service to the settler when he buy

CATTLE STEALING.

Cattle thieves in Gallatin valley ought to take
warning-should there be more of them-of the
fate met by Earnest Miller, who Saturday was
sentenced to from twenty-eight months to six
years Imprisonment. Miller received the sentence
after having pleaded guilty to having stolen a
bunch of cattle from his uncle and selling them TO
man near Toston.
This case is one that has attracted a great deal
of attention over the county, due to there having
been number of other thefts or disappearance Of
cattle in the past. II has come TO be the belief Of
men who are trying TO raise cattle m this vicinity
that there is a well organized gang that has for
long time been systematically stealing livestock

FOR THE SHIPS If WE GET THE SEAWAY.

The hope of years in the middle west for deep
water route from the Great Lakes through the
St. Lawrence river to the sea is moving slowly but
steadily toward realization. The two most I'M
portant single steps toward that realization have
occurred within week. The first was the favor
able report of the international joint commission
which has been investigating the project for many
months The second was the introduction in the
house by Representative Chalmers of Ohio of a.
bill to carry out the recommendations of the COM
mission.
Only two more steps are needed and the great
middle west viii be opened to direct contact by
sea with the ports Of the world The first is con-
struction Of the seaway. The second is the actual
construction under that authorization
There win be opposition in congress to the first,
just there has been opposition by Atlantic coast
interests to every forward step since the ST. Law
renee deep seaway was first conceived. That op-
position must be overcome. Representatives and
senators of eighteen middle western states are viz
tualy pledged to the task of overcoming it. Prob
ably many more VIII vote for it with little argu-
ment when it is shown, as il can and will be shown

of dollars annually to the nation. But some will

PRESS COMMENT
Don't Buy From Catalogues

Merchants in many places conf
plain of the amount of competition
they have to meet from mail order
houses. While people are sending
away money that ought to be spent
in building up the mercantile facili-
ties of their own locality, yet the
fault is not always wholly with the
buying public.
The mail order folks are wonder
full advertisers. Their catalogues
are distributed all along the rural
routes and are made attractive
with cuts and quotations of prices.
The country store can build up
its trade just the way the mail
order house has, through the pow
er of advertising. Publicity will
make its goods look just as attrac-
tive and seem just as good bargains
as the stuff people get of the mail
order houses many miles away. If
the country merchant will quote his
prices and feature his bargains, he
can make his place of business look
just as entelprising as that distant
emporium in some far away city.
1t is a natural thing for country
people to come into their market
town to trade. If the business
men of that center impress them
selves on the surrounding country
as men Of enterprise who are
pushing for bargains all the time,
the country people will tradeiat
home. But if many of these mer-
chants use no publicity at all, and
if others advertise only in a rou-
tine or occasional way, without
mentioning special features or try
ing to convince the public that they
have the real thing in bargains,
some of the country people may
conclude that those stores are not
sufficiently wide awake and may
send off large amounts to some
distant metropolis.
The business men of a town
should work 365 days in the year
to win the friendship Of country
people They should promote en-
terprises to assist rural interests,
invite the country folks into their
organizations, join with them in
improvement projects. When lot
OF country trade is drifting away,
something usually is the matter

The Record Of 1922

What has 1929 done for human
progress? In the United States
where last January millions of
people were out of employment,
today the industries are generally
busy. This change is however only
one. movement Of that ceaseless
tide of businss that keeps rising
and falling. Whether anything has
been done prevent future harmful
fluctuations is a question.
While two great strikes have
caused a disastrous loss, yet on the
whole relations have gained. The
number of strikes outside the coal
and railroad industries is less than
common for a period of revNing
trade. This would indicate that the
two parties to industrial relations
We're learning that cooperation is
better than fighting.
In the field of agriculture, while
the farmers have suffered from
low prices for their products, yet
they have made progress toward
saving of expense through CO.
operative distribution, and their
young people are taking hold of
scientific production problems.
While the treaties signed by the
Washington conference have not
been ratified as yet, that meeting
greatly improved relations in the
Pacific territory. Japan has gotten
great gain is largely Offset by the
mehacing rise of the Turks TO re-
newed power, a needless develop
ment caused by the dissensions of
Christian powers.
1h the scientific world, radio
tel6graphy has made a marvellous
advance. In philanthropy the
world is called upon for a great
outpouring of relief for the million
exiles driven out of Turkey.
In the political world, the most
striking event has been the seizure
of power by the Italian Fascist as
a protest against bolshevism. Rus
sia shas been forced by the stern
logic of suffering to give up ex-
trenne communism. While the
world is still staggering from war
psyehosis, yet the forces of recov-
erW have grown more powerful

waf hysteria has run part of its

Who's Who2

Owners of automobiles will save
two cents now by the new system.
Heretofore duplicate receipts were
issued, one of which was required
to be sent to the State Auditor. A
St. Johnsbury man used to get
back at the state by mailing the
receipts without affiXing a two
cent postage stamp. Then the
postmaster notified the auditor of
the letter lacking the necessary
postage. 1t cost the state four
cents to get that receipt properly
filed. This st. Johnsbury man did
that year after year. Now there's
a clear saving of four cents year.
