most interesting exhibit will be
ready. The show will be held for

surance policy covering the value of

peal to the farmers of Gallatin val

MANY VISITORS At
ROTARY LUNCHEON
Visitors Included Those Who Are on
Program at the Farmers
Week Session.

There were a number of visitors
at the Tuesday monday luncheon of
the Rotary club, some of whom were
old acquaintance, others who were in
Bozeman for the first time. Three
states were represented, those pres
ent being Harry NJ. Barrett, of Bould-
er, Colorado, Dean A. L. Stone, of

dent George Craven of the Butte
School of Mines Charles Frazier of
Pocatello, Idaho. John Dexter of Hell
ena, George Morgan of Havre, Ralph
Furham of Billings, and J. N. Nc
Cracker of Livingston.
Short talks were given by some of
the visitors, including Charles Fra
zier, of Idaho, who complimented the
club upon the fine spirit of good fell
lowship exhibited at the meeting. He
extended a welcome to the members
to the Pocatello Rotary club. Dean
A. L. Stone gave a very numerous
talk upon the financial conditions at
the present time. He spoke of days
gone by when hard times had hit
Montana, expressing the thoughts of
those in the state at that time, that
1t would be impossible to overcome the
difficulties. He told how those days
had been forgotten in the latter pros
porous times and predicted the same
result within short time, in the
present condition.
President George Craven told of
having attended school in Bozeman
81 years ago, recalled some amusing
illcidents of the life of the city al

Joint Committee
Met at Manhattan
Representatives of Commercial Bodies
of County Hold Busy Session
Next Meeting at Bozeman.

John Fabrick, H. F. West, and J.
A. Harader, represented the Bozeman
Chamber of Commerce at the regular
monthly meeting of the Joint Com
mittee on county affairs at Three
Forks last Friday. There was good
attendance from other cities of the
county as well as from the farm bu-
reau and of the organizations.
Chairman Dick Fabrick presided at
the meeting which took up some of
the plans outlined for the coming
year. One of the principle actions
of the committee has been the work
to secure the establishment of the
Jefferson canyon road. Surveys have
been made and estimates given upon
the cost of construction showing the
benefit to be derived by those who will
travel the proposed road far exceeds
the cost. 1t will mean a shortening of
the present state highway by about
eleven miles.
The Farmers Week program was
discussed, with each chamber repre-
sented agreeing to urge a good at
tendance from the various localities
of the county. Many of the business
men from other cities in the county
will attend the meetings during the
week in Bozeman.
The necessity of maintaining roads
in the county in as good condition as
possible both winter and summer re
ceived attention. 1t was decided tt

tion with the county commissioners

of the buildings while at the confer
ence.
The sessions are in charge of Prof.
M, J. Abbey, who has outlined a most
interesting program. Each day the
boys have shown great enthusiasm
and attention to the addresses given
and the display of notebooks shows
there will be many subjects taken
away for future discussion by the boys
when they return to their homes.
One of the most interesting talks
given was that made by Lieutenant
Governor Nelson Story, Jr. He gave
a brief outline of his own experience
in the development of the state, and
told Of his early plans. He ex-
planned the changing conditions of the
state from stockgrowing to an agri-
cultural district which made it nee
essary to change his plans relative
to occupation. He told the boys their
success depended to a large extent
upon their own efforts, requiring
hard work in any vocation they select
ed, although they would find plenty
of pleasure in the work if they real
ly liked it.
Mr.. Story touched upon political
conditions, calling the attention of the
boys to the necessity of entering
into the citizenship of the state with
a firm conviction to serve always fol-
the best interest of the state, regard
less of party, cliques or personal pre-
judice. He urged them to become in
terested in the welfare of the state
and do their utmost to help bring
about clean legislation and eliminate
political jealousy.

FINE DELEGATION OF STUDENTS IN GREATER NUMBER
THAN EXPECTED ARE GUESTS OF BOZEMAN THIS
WEEK GOVERNOR DIXON SPEAKS THURS
DAY TO THEM

President Alfred Atkinson of the
Montana State -y.lege welcomed the
high school boys attending ire third
annual Vocational Conference last
Monday morning. In his address of
welcome he pointed out the necessity
of gaining the necessary training to
meet the prchs Of life, the serv-
ice ezpect-5 6y tie state from those
WAC receive their higher education
through institutions maintained at
state expense. His remarks were re-
ceivld in most enthusiastic manner
b. the $50 young men attending the
conference.
America is the only nation, stated
|-. Atkinson, where universal educa-
tion Is available to all classes, ex-
planning the theory that education will
develop a higher type of citizenship,
thus bringing greater returns to the
state. Some men, he said, have gained
success without the advantages Of
education. These men are inclined to
give little credit to education as a re-
quirement for success, while there are
scores who realize that the lack of
education has caused them to fail in
their attempts to advance in the
world.
In speaking Of the leadership which
comes to the man of college educa-
ton, President Atkinson called atten-
tion to the fact that in the great war
practically so per cent of the Off
GERS were college men. They had re-
ceived such training as to develor
within themselves the leadership, the
responsibility and necessary qualifi-
cations requisite to command. Wher
the war was over, those who had moi
completed their college courses, re.
turned to finish their education.
The plans of the new building pro
gram and the additional equipment
which the college will possess wert
outlined by President Atkinson. H,

men to make thorough examination
