TIE WOMAN OF SERVICE

"Serve the spirit" was really the
command that was given that morn
ing to her and US. She had been Civ
ing her all; she was still to do that
but there was a better service than
she had yet rendered and that was
to inspilit others with what she had
caught from her Lord. She could
not help being active 70. that was her
nature but it was to be the higher
sort now. There would come a day
when she might touch after s. | am

tives. Spirit should cling to spirit
and find life in the contact. And there
was no hesitation in the obedience
she gave to the word. So quick was
she to learn His will and obey that
the Disciples speedily knew that Ne
had called her by her own name so
that He was not changed in His re-
lationship by either Cross or Tomb
but held them still in His heart Con-
scious of that she co1ld let the old

HARLEM FARMER
GIVES UP DREDGE.

After driving the crew off with a
rifle and for several days retaining
possession of the Iii gdredge which
IS digging an irrigation ditch near
Harlem, Mont, Gust Abelin, a farm
er living three miles west of that
place, discovered he had misunder-
stood the instructions of his attorney
and abandoned his position.
Although he released the dredge,
Abelin would not permit the contract
Ors to continue work on his land. The
dredge was moved around it, but a
stretch of several hundred feet on
Abelin's property cannot be complet
ed until the matter is settled in court
Legal proceedings with that end in
view have been instituted by off
e.ais of the irrigation district.
MIR. Abelin has lived on his land
for the past 80 years and has con
structed an irrigation system of his
own by which he takes water out Of
Thirty-Mile creek. He figures thai
this is sufficient for him and he ha.
been a strenuous objector to being
taken into the irrigation district
Now that he is in the district, he ha:
been trying. to get out and though
that by holding up the work and re
fusing to allow the ditch to be du,
across his land, he might establisl
some precedence that would be to hi
advantage in a lawsuit.

LEWISTOWN KU KLUX KHAN
HOLD STATE WIDE MEETING

LEWISTOWN, Sept. 3.-A state
nesting ca tile Ku Klux Khan was
staged last night by Lewistown Khan
No. 8 in a field 10 miles west of Lew
istown, on the road to Moore. 1t was
called a ceremony and demonstra-
ton" Lights along the road served
to mark the way to the field and it is
estimated that 5000 autos went out,
the cars coming from this and Judith
Basin counties in large numbers while
many were from NOE distant parts
of the state. More than so cars, it is
said, came from Roundup.
Admission to the field was by tick,
cts, which had been freely distributed
for a week past and large numbers OF
people who knew little about the Khan
went out from curiosity. One great
fiery cross was conspicuous and there
were several smaller ones about the
field. Z. A. Jordan, of st. Paul, gave
an address and a considerable class
was initiated. A favored few, not
members of the Khan, were privileged

After the ceremony, Khan authori

IRRIGATION DISTRICT
IN THE BITTER ROOT
WILL BE IMPROVED

Work on the rehabilitation of the
Bitter Root irrigation district 8O-miIe
canal will begin on September 10,
when the water will be turned off and
the canal will be thoroughly repaired
before demands are made upon it for
service rext spring.
The long canal, which carries water
from Lake Como to Eight-Mile, below
' oe~vensville, and spreads this water
V 10000 acres of the most fertile
orchard land in the Treasure state, re-
Gently was acquired from the private
corporation which had operated it for
several years. The present organiza-
tion in control of the project was
formed by the land owners, who saw
p possibility of the service being dis
continued if the canal, with its many
fumes, was allowed to go into a state
of delapidation, which seemed prob.
able with the reluctance of the former
owners to spend the necessary funds
upon repairs.
The Bitter Root irrigation distric
has sold 30-year bonds to the amour
o. $500, 600 which money will be use,
in repairs and replacements. 1t i
proposed to eliminate several of tn
fumes by cutting a new course TO

other cases to replace the presen
wooden fumes with concrete struct

MONTANA FARMERS SAVE
SIC FOR EVERY 81 SPENT
IN WAR ON HOPPER PEST

Farmers in Fl counties of Montana
report that they saved more than a
million dollars the past year by work
ing In cooperation with the extension
service of the State college in con-
trolling the grasshopper pest thru
poisoning, according to a complete re-
port Of the 1923 activities in this line
recently made public by E. H. Lott
assistant county agent leader. The
total expenditures for the year in car
rying on this work was only $64.-
64O.63, showing a saving of about SIT
for every dollar spent.
A total of 322,799 acres of cropped
land was treated with poison with al
Appropriated saving of 81 ,027, 06O
and 23,720 acres of pasture land wa,
treated with an approximate saving O
S25,25O, making the total approximate
saving for the year $1,052,3 $40.
Farmers apparently were glad t
avail themselves of the offer of tn
extension service to assist in the con
troll Of the pest, for $500 of them use
poisoned bait totaling 3764.59
pounds.

The general opinion was expressed
by county agents that it was the best
plan to mix the bait at community
meetings. Several reasons were CIV
en- for this, the chief one being that
many farmers had never attended
demonstrations and so did not know
how to mix the Ingredients. In some
instances it was found advisable TO
tura the ingredients over to the farm
ers and let them mix their own bait.
County agents held 1873 mixing dem
o%nstrations during the year with an
attendance of 2,177 farmers and 80
field demonstrations with an attend
ance of 430 farmers.
There were fewer reports this year
of cattle or horses being poisoned by
the gasshopper bait. This is very
liable to happen when old bait is
dumped where cattle can get at it,
when bait is spread on the field in
Jumps or when arsenic barrels are left
where cattle can lick them.

He took poison and then slashed his

now in a hospital at Missoula and is
expected to recover. Hayes is about
35 years of age.

The survey made by the Agricul-

profitable farming on many non-irri-
gated areas largely hinged upon the
planting of a big acreage at a mini
