this land is in private hands. The
large owners had large ideas as to the
Price they should receive for their
holdings. with the result that buyers
stayed away During the prosperous
war years the owners did not care:
they could raise crops without irriga-
ton and make money. But now. being
hard pressed for cash. they are chang-
ing their tune.
Today Montana is full of bargains in
dry farming and irrigated land, in
stock ranches and wheat farms Not

authorization for the forest the past
season, says Supervisor j. c. Whitman

by the infestation of grasshopppers.
There will. therefore, be practically no
range available for new applications on
the Custer forest for the 1922 season
as any surplus which might develop
due to the unusual financial stringency
will undoubtedly be taken up by I'M
creases to the smaller owners who al

Grazing applications for this season
Will as in previous year be flied with
the district rangers who have charge
Ct the work in the field on CIR before
February Is. so as to allow sufficient
time for the consideration Of applica-
ticns. their approval, the payment Of
fees, and the issuance Ct permits prior
to the opening Of the grazing season.
On the Ashland division which EN-
braces the northwestern corner Of
Powder River county, the season will
open on April 16, and en- the Sioux d.

forestry department rep rts that the
stock associations are carrying on an
excellent work in cooperating with
the forest service ann assisting in the

GERMAN SOCIALIST
LEADER RECEIVERS
FROM ACID ATTACK
AZ Assoclated Pressl

KASSEL, Germany, June 6.-Philip
Scheidemann, German socialist leader,
and former secretary for foreign af-
fairs, who was attacked by a youth
yesterday while on a holiday near
Willhelmshole, had fully recovered to-
day.
His assaiIant employed Prussic acid
and the escape of the Socialist lead
er from death is attributed to the
fact that the acid, which is highly
VOLATILE was discharged at long range
and in the open air, thereby making
It partially ineffective.
Nevertheless Scheidemann was rem
dered unconscious after he had fired
two random shots at the man, who
reaching the railroad station through
the woods, took a train in the direc-
tion of Wabern.
Herr Scheidemann was accompanied
by his daughter and granddaughter
when attacked
Both as mayor of Kassel and mem
her of the Reichstag, Herr Scheide-
mann frequently was subjected to DO
lltical attacks. These recently have
been resumed in the press and at
rublfc meetings and his life also had
been directly threatened through the
mails. This prob2bly explains why
he was carrying revolver.
