COMMISSION FORM OF
COUNTY GOVERNMENT

Reports from over the state indi
cate there Is considerable interest In
the proposed amendment TO the con,
stitution. to be voted upon by the cleo
tors In November, which viii permit
a commission form of county govern
ment. In many OF Montnna's little
counties II Is believed a very large
amount of the expense of government
could be saved by the ximplification OF
procedure and the elimination of un'
necessary officers. AT present the
method of county government Is de
fined In the constitution OF the state
and the officers are named. The pass
age of this initiative will
enable the legislature to draft d Law
permitting simpIifcation.
The voters will also settle the CUES
ton In November Of the issuance OF
s4.5OO,000 bonds to provide a fund for
a soldiers bonus in the state. which
would pay $40 per month for each
month of service, with a limit not
exceeding 300. The bonds would be
retired by a one-hnlf mill tax levied
on all the property In the state.
Interest also centers about the tar
commission amendment which would
enable the Legislature TO place a full
time tax commission In Helena TO
eQualixe the entire tax situation In the
state. At present this work Is handled
by a tax commission composed OF the
governor, secrtary of state, state treas-
urer. state auditor and attorney gen
eral.

PractIcod

The utilization of spring flood

up new possibilities In dry land farm
ing In Montana. Under the direction
of Blaine Ferguson, State college ir-
rigation specialist, farmers In northern
Montana are rapidly adopting this sys-
tenn of dry land irrigation" with sur
prising results. Many are irrigating
from 80 acres to quarter sections and
so pleased are they with results OBJ
tained that they are planning 10 saw
every drop of water possible on their
farms.
Some OF the farms are irrigated by
means OF a series Of bikes which cause
the water to flood the ground until
blowing time and then a puncture In
the dixie allows surplus water TO run
off. Other farmers store the water in
reservoirs made from dams across
coulees and the water is directed on
the fields as II Is needed.

lrrigator, depends largely upon a rod

in the Thomas gymnasium tonight in
stead of in front of the library, as
planned. The time is s o'clock, and
from the amount of interest shown in
the affair, a large crowd will be pres
ent.
Good music, snappy program, with
lots of eats and hearty welcome for
all, are in store for all of the Icha-
bods who attend the party. AS a
means of introducing the girls and
the men, each will be given a slip of
paper on which they will write their
names and wear thruout the evening.
No further formality than a sight of
the name is needed to constitute an
Introduction.
Arthur Gibson's orchestra will play
during the evening The entertain
ment will include the twins with edu-
Gated feet, a couple of Jigging artists.
Next Margaret Ripley's dancers will
present several mum bers. Last, but
not least, Baxter Dukes Harmon
quartet will sing some old-time south
land songs.
Following the program, refresh
ments, in the form of punch, waters
and ice cream will be served
