HANDSOME PREMIUMS
FOR TILLAGE CLUBS
Large Cash Prizes and Splendid Of
ferings of Farm Implements In
List Offered.

Keen interest is being displayed by
business men in many parts Of Mon
tana in the coming summer tillage
contest recently announced by the
Montana Development association.
Cash prizes totaling thousands of dol
lars have been posted by business men
in several small towns despite the
business depression of the past
months, according to an announce
ment made by the general offices of
the organization.
Although the movement to raise
funds in each community for prizes to
farmer-members of local tillage clubs
has little more than commenced, a
fund totaling $1,150 was raised by the
business men of Sweet Grass; Chester
has posted prizes a~ggregating $1,000;
Lavina has subscribed $1,000 for this
purpose; Grass Range will give $3.50
in prizes; Bobson, $3.50 and Ryegate,
5000, according to the Development
association.
Returns from letters addressed to
prominent manufacturing concerns in
eastern cities inviting them to inter-
est themselves in Montana's better
farmig movement to the extent of
posting prizes, are being received
daily. The replies indicate that these
firms are much interested in the
movement, it is stated, and a graft
flying number of proffered prizes have
been received.
The list includes sulky plows,
cream separators, gasoline engines,
corn cultivators, disc harrows, %tillers,
%cultivators and harrows. Donations
of large cash prizes are under cor
sideration, the indications being that
the matter is being considered IA
vorably, the association announced,
and assurances that several tractors
will soon be listed have been received.
The generous response which the
associations request for prizes has
met so far promises a contest of con
siderable Importance to the farmers
of the state, as the total value of the
prizes to be awarded will be consider
able, it is stated.
The total of signed acreage to be
titled according to the approved form
ula is growing rapidly, the mild
weather of the past two weeks hav-
ing permitted tillage club executives
in all parts of the state to carry on
the work of direct solicitation to ad-
vantage. This work will be contin-
ued until May Is, it is stated.

work of consolidating and putting the
last of them into shape for full func-
tioning in Minneapolis was finished

Among the Six Millions

One of the landmarks of New York
City has just been taken from us.
For years visitors to this city have
been shown the two great trees in the
yard of No. 462 West 22nd Street,
under which George P. Morris, Amer
lean poet, wrote "Woodman, Spare
That Tree" The old Woodward
mansion where Morris lived at that
time, stands in one of the few re-
naming blocks in downtown New
York-old Chelsea Village-where
there are any grounds where a tree
can find to stand, and lovers
of American traditions and American
literature have hoped that those two
trees would live undisturbed for many

trees died, and it was decided the

man from Ohio, who is devoting him.
self o to saving the lives of trees
and adding beauty to the country,
was called in for expert opinion. "a
year ago the trees could have been
saved" he said, "But they were
neglected too long. Now they are
quite dead" The neglect of those
trees has led groups of men and
women in this city who are interested
in preserving vi historical treasures
to agitate for a movement to save
other old trees before it is too late.

One of the most envied men in this
great city is Frederick Kicker, Of the
West 123rd Street police station. 1t
is not often in this life that even a
policeman has the sense of satisfac-
ton which must have come to him the
other day. He arrested a man for
failing to display a 1922 automobile
license plate on his car. And the
man was his landlord-who had tried
to raise his rent So a month last fall !!
"Don't you know me? I'm your land
lord,' exclaimed the peculiarly optim-
itc motorist when Kicker stopped
him on the avenue. He was found
guilty and fined IS.

City taxpayers were uridoubt-
edyl glad to see published, at last,
the long overdue financial state
ment OF the Richmond city

inent- bookkeeper says the state
ment is correct, but the figures
are so many and cover such a
range that the Daily Register
hasn't had opportunity as yet to
go over them and digest them.
The big thing, though. is that the
board realizes its duty to the pub

that in the future there will be no
such delays. in making public
