ANSWERING MIR. WAMPLER'S
ARGUMENT

The Thoeny Review quotes Prof. R.
l.. Wampler of Saco, who is opposed
to county unit for purely selfish rea-
sons. Saco is in an ideal district,
with good railroad and hayland valu-
alton. 1t does not support any rural
schools and since the population has
been steadily decreasing in northeast
Montana during the past few years,
there is danger Of Saco becoming a
third class district and as such would
have to share her wealth with rural
communities if county unit vas adopt
ed in Phillips county.
If county unit is a sham why doesn't
Mr.. Wampler give the public his rea-
sons for calling it such? l can find
no arguments for against county unit
as set forth in his article.
Mr.. Wampler's statements in regard
to the qualifications of county super
intendents r correct according to
law-but, l would like to remind you
that the Valley county papers pub
lished my qualifications at the time l
ran for this office, when l was deputy.
AS l interpret the article you are
misinterpreting my qualifications to
the public and for this reason l should
like to state that l hold a Minnesota
life certificate and a Montana state
certificate which will be converted in
to a Montana life certificate this
coming year, and that l have have had
teaching experience in grade, high
school and normal training work. l
cannot see, however, what connection
my qualifications or any other coun-
ty superintendent qualifications may
have with placing information con-
corning county unit before the Valley
county people.
After carefully reading the Thoeny
article it appears to me that the au-
thor has "taken a slam at county su-
perintendents," rather than setting
forth any arguments against county
unit.
l am having this letter published in
the Valley county papers.
Trusting that the article will justi-
fly my efforts in placing the county
unit system before the people of VAL
ley county and make clear my posi-
ton regarding this, l am
Very truly yours,
OLIVIA FORSTER-PATTEN,
County Superintendent of Schools,
Valley County, Montana.

Judge Harry S. Keldan of Detroit.

further the cause of justice with the
result that a new set of ten talesmen,

A thorough canvass of the ex-ser-

Poultry Suggestions.

~~oeNotAOAtos
In order to get winter eggs most
economically it is necessary to de-
pend upon pullets, says Prof. w. F.
Schoppe, extension poultry specialist
for Montana. These pullets should be
developed so as to start laying by the
last of September or early in October.
AS it requires on the average from
five to six months to develop a pullet
from the time it is Matched until it is
ready to lay, it is necessary to get
the chicks out during April and May.
Late Matched chicks mature slower
than the early chicks, and chicks
Matched after May Is are frequently
late in maturing and do not start lay
ing before eggs begin to drop after
the holidays. The experience at the
State college poultry plant. would in
dictate that the best time to hatch is
between April 1 and May is.

Hints to Celery Growers.

Celery growers after report a large
number of celery plants going to seed
before the summer is over. Tests at
the Montana experiment station at
Bozeman show that proper tempera-
ture is an important factor in avoid
in this source of loss. Celery plants
grown in the greenhouse where the
temperature most of the time was be-
low 55 degrees have gone to seed be-
fore time, and other plants put in cold
frames a month before time to set in
the field have gone to seed freely.
Celery grown at a temperature of 65
degrees during the day and slightly
cooler at night generally has given
satisfactory results. No injury has
resulted when grown at higher tenn
peratures. Gardeners should not SUBJ
ject their celery plants to cool tenn
peratures for any considerable length
of time.

complete elimination of the gopher.
In Blaine county the cleanup on this
pest is seventy-five per cent complet-
ed. In both Blaine and Phillips coun-
ties a million acres of land have been
treated each year for the past two
years. The work is almost this far
along in Valley county. In many dis
tricts in the Yellowstone valley the
prairie dog has been practically ex-
terminated in the agricultural sec

Don't Disk Instead of Spring Plow.
In preparing land for summer til
lage it is sometimes possible to disk
stubble land before it is possible to
work land that is to be seeded , saws
the Montana experiment station re-
view of summer tillage. The discing
will hasten the termination of weed
seeds and assist in cleaning the fall
low. The Montana experiment station
warns, however, that disking should
never be taken as an excuse for early
spring blowing, as early blowing is
more desirable.

Jack Blossom Will Be Athletic Director
 at Yale
By WALTER CAMP special Corr espondcnt of The Age-Herald tCopyright. 1e22. by The Age -Horaid)

New York, June 24.-The tempest III the teapot" stirred up by the re- port of the voluntary committee as to Yale athletic weakness, has been ailayed by the announcement of the appointment of Jack Blossom, the little fair-haired baseball cap tain of 1913 and 1914. as graduate athletic director. President Angell made this announcement at the an- nual alumni dinner, and it was re- ceived with great enthusiasm. But just how much this means in the way of overriding the policy of any one expert coach in his own particular branch is something which will have tc be worked out,
 The whole athletic world is in a sea of turmoil and students of social conditions are beginning to learn two very remarkable facts which should be set before any man who is interested In the life of the times. In the first place, our national gov ernment Is learning that in a democ- racy, such as ours, the great advances in material successes, and with them material problems. have gone far beyond the education of the average man. The big problems be- fore us today. like international ex-
 
 national financial policies, are so far removed from the ordinary education. not only of our masses, but even of our highly educated class, that to be able to pass an intelligent judgment Gpor any one of them would require a lifetime of education, consequent ly the average voter Is incompetent to argue them out and decide for himself because the problems are so intricate as to puzzle even the most educated minds.
 Every Fan . Critic
 Exactly the reverse of this Is true in college athletic administration. The puzzles are all there. but any nan who sits in the grandstand. wko has had even year or two in col iege athletics, is quite prepared to pass Judgment upon And decide how any sport should be run, how team should be coached. how a crew should be handled. In other words, the average man on the street would never enter into a discussion as to how the exchange situation and de- preciated currencies should be handled, and few as to a definite and comprehensive taxation policy, except in so far as he did not believe in taxes at all. and yet the average coliegian in the grandstand Is quite prepared to pick out all the flaws in the handling of team or nine and show how much better it could be done, and that, too. with a perfect conviction that from a reasonable amount of experience in the sport nc is quite competent to do the joD
 Nevertheless. the men who have the job to do in. the government come. up for reelection and the college athletic director, or coach, is like the representative, judged by the results of the sport that come more rapidly and more. conciusively. Hence the job of either is no sinecure. Victories 10 the athletic director. say what you please. are like home runs to Baoei Ruth, perhaps not specified In the contract, but nevertheless expected and looked for both for business and also for sentimental reasons

terested in knowing which was really the better man. They believe that the recent Criqui- Fox bout calls for an- other battle. because until he was put away, Fox was going strong and had clear lead on points.
 Same with Kid I.ewis and Johnny Basham. Or again. says Dime. it is felt over here that If Carpentler had any good alibi in his fight. If he had been Ill or below par some way, even then every sporting man in Europa would pay good money to see another battle. But under the circumstances no better reason is seen for another Battle of the Century than there Is for another carpentier-Ted Lewis fight, No packer for the proposed heavyweIght championship battle has been able to put forth arguments to give headway to the above dope.
 EngIishmen Getting Wise
 Another interesting point Is that the English are getting wise to in ternatlonal boxing conditions. They are now putting forth that Carpenter is not even the second best heavy weight in the world. It is pointed out that he won his Iight-heavyweight title from old Battling Levinsky and the cry is now that he meet Harry Greb. Gene Tunney. Bob Martin. Will lie Meehan or Billy Mlske. Grebe's fine record is now kwown on the other side and the belief Is that Car pentier is side-stepping him.
 Never forget there are wheels with- in wheels within the heavyweight championship situation. and if Demp- sey signs for Harry Wills-which for the peace of the land 1t Is hoped he will not-it will mean the proposed Carpentier-D Dempsey bout goes glim- nerinR
