Uncommon Sense
" inter Crops
BY JOHN HlDAkE

nElVE out in the rountry in the
- autumn, before ,ne surface OF the
ground j. h&"d"NrI b. frost, and you
will see farmers piowing and narrowing
the soil.
Presently, if you watch them they
will begin sowing grain, which, rs soon
as the warmth OF spring brings the
frost out Of tn" ground, will ."rmtnaro
and bear early crops.
There i, Of course. no action or
growth under the sol while it j. frozen.
But the grain Is there, and if IT," Apr ng
weather is at all favorable, il j., really
to com" up ahead Of the spriNg->uWn
grain, and to yield an early crop,
LNRETiOU CHIT was shown by the
i first farmer Of Northern climates
who sowcl his - pS in III" fan.
He found Il Way to ,'uploy the warm
aut' m weather to his advantage in the
following spring.
He found way to get done in Il sea-
son who's" warmth would have been
otherwise lost the work that he would
not have enough time 70 do VIXEN the
spring came.
And he saved himself hurry and
trouble, and extra effort in season
when all of these would have been
serious taxes on his time and efficiency.
Forcthought is necessary to all pros.
perity, for prosperity is the result of
planning.
MYTH those who are not farmers Of
wv the soil, the farming of the mind
u the source of their prosperity.
And winter crops can be sown in the
mind with more advantage than they
can be sown in the soil, for winter,
which shuts us in on ourselves and
facilitates concentration, is the best
growing season for mental crops.
Beside the fire in the long evenings
many seeds can be- sown that will bear
fruit IN the following summer.
In the days when play is cut of, work
q easier to begin,
The best time to read and study and
think is in the winter. II il the best
dme for mental oyerhaulings and stock
taking, and for plans that will develop
in the by and by.

CONSOLIDATED
DISTRIBUTES
PCT. DIVIDEND
Neihart Company Makes First
Payment to Shareholders
From Earnings.

The first dividend of the Neihart
Consolidated Silver Mining company
was authorized by the directors Tues
day afternoon, following the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the COM
pany, when 3 per cent was declared on
the stock of record October 20. 1t
is the plan of the company to pay divl-
dends semi-annually.
The 3 per cent dividend will be paid
on a little less than $450,000 of stock
and will leave a substantial and ade-
quate cash reserve for mining opera
tions, it was announced. Although the
dividend is the first to be paid, the
Hartley group of mines, which are the
principal properties of the company,
have been on a paying basis for some
time, having paid for themselves, a to-
tai of 100000 during the last four
years.
Ship IS Cars Daily
The Consolidated is the principal
operator at this time in the Neihart
district and ships 25 cars Of ore a
day to the East Helena smelter. A
force of from rs to 100 men is en-
ployed in the mines at this time. The
ores are largely in silver values, the
lead paying transportation costs to the
smelter.
The 3 per cent s~emi-annual divi-
dend on the stock, which sold at SO
cents. 81 par value, represents a return
on the investment which company
stockholders regarded as most satisfac-
tory in the present condition of the
mining market. 1t will mean a sum
Of about $4,000 to be distributed.
Re-eIect Officers
The directors of the campany for the
last year were reelected and the di-
rectors at the meeting following re
elected the offers for the year. Off
GERS for the year. Officers of the
company are F. r. Van De Putte, pres
ident: John F. Dawson, vice president
w. 4. Brown. treasurer; s. NJ. MELON
ness. secretary. The fifth member of
the board of directors is Dan Tracy.

organization of socialists in Montana.
Later Paugh was recalled by Judge
Smith and testified that after the re-
cent primary election he had been APP
pointed acting state secretary for the
purpose of calling a mass convention
to organize the party in the state and
to nominate candidates, that the call
for the mass convention was first sub
mitted to the national organization and
approved by it. He identified the min
utes of the mass convention. which
were introduced in evidence, and also
the charter which had been issued by
the national executive committee under
date of October 6, 1922, and which had
been received by him by mail October
8. This also was introduced in evil
dence.
Senatorial Candidate Called
George H. Ambrose of Butte. who
had been nominated by the socialists
as candidate for United States senator,
was called to the stand by Judge Smith
and testified that the Montana charter
had been taken away in 1916 or early
in 1917 under the bylaws which pro
vide for the automatic cancellation of
a state charter whenever the organ
ization falls below 10 locals or the
total membership falls below 100. He
said there had been no socialist organi-
cation in Montana since that time up
TO the time of the convention Septem-
Der 80.
A motion for Judgment was made
by Judge Smith on the grounds that the
relator had not made a showing en-
titling him to relief; that the complaint
is not verified and is merely an affida-
Wit and that an injunction cannot issue
upon a complaint which has not been
verified.
The matter was then argued and
taken under advisement by the court.
During the forenoon the court heard
argum ents in another case bearing upon
the coming election, it being the appeal
case of E. Z. Thompson against George
H. Chaplin. involving the republican
nomination for sheriff of Rosebud
county. in which Chaplin had been de-
clared the nominee and the results
had been contested by Thompson upon
the grounds that the voters had not
been required to sign the register book
in several precincts.
John G. Brown. of Stewart e. Brown
of Helena. and Young & Young of For
syth appeared as counsel for Thomp-
son, while H. c. Crippen of Billings
appeared for Chaplin. The matter was
taken under advisement by the court.
