laid special emphasis. The first was
that every father should see that his
son got the best possible education,
and this, he said, was not possible
where inexperienced teachers were
employed. The next point made was
that every father should be interested
in his sons recreation, particularly in
organized athletics, for clean sports
did much to develop good citizens. The
third point was the Importance Of en-
couraging the boy scout movement,
which, the coach said, was doing more
for boys than all the churches in the
country, beneficial though they may
be. The last point was a plea for q
closer relationship between fathers
and sons, the enhancing of their mu.
tual trust and esteem.

THREE FORKS MEN HAD SOME
MOON.

On Saturday. Constable Kaiser and
Deputy Sheriff Pierce Elmore, of
Three Forks, arrested S. L. Sea-
graves and S. o. Danner of that city
for having possession of moonshine
whiskey. Seagraves was given
hearing before Judge Law, and, plead
ing guilty, was fined $3.50.
The case of Danner is still pend
ing, for after he was arrested large
amount of alleged stolen goods, in
cluding a gas engine, were found in
his home. 1t is thought that these
goods were taken from Broadwater
county, and no charge may be made
against the man on their account.
In addition to the charge of possess
ing moonshine, Danner may face a
charge of non-support, for his wife
and family were found to be in a
destitute condition and it was neces-
sary for the county to furnish them
with clothing and food.

.SPRAGUE Is GIVEN
light SENTENCE
Raising Checks Costs Magazine SOIic-
itOr Fourteen to Twenty Eight
Months at Deer Lodge.

After pleading guilty to the charge
of forgery, w. A. Sprague, the mag
azine subscription agent who raised
at least three checks given him by
Gallatin county teachers, was SEN
fenced Thursday to serve IA to %
months at Deer Lodge by Judge B. B.
Law.
Before passing the sentence Judge
Law questioned the prisoner at some
length, endeavoring to ascertain the
motives which prompted the act.
Sprague claimed he owed a hotel bill
of about $50 at Three Forks and want
ed to pay it. Judge Law said that
in consideration of the prisoners age
-29 years-and the fact that he still
has chance to lead a useful life,
he would be lenient in the sentence.
Sprague's wife and stepsOn, who
were with him when he was taken
into custody in Harlowton, have gone
to Mrs Sprague's parents in Seattle.
Mrs. Sprague was furnished transpor-
tation to the coast by the Harlowton
authorities, and from letter received
| by Sprague, will be able to look af4er
herself and son.
! In describing Sprague to the local
authorities the various teachers called
him "dapper and flip" salesman, but
it was a different sort of man who
faced Judge Law Thursday. Sprague's
nerve completely deserted him and he
replied to the judges questions in q
tone so low the court reporter could
hear him with difficulty.
Sprague was taken to Deer Lodge
on Friday to start serving his sent.

FIRE PREVENTION
Of LOCAL Interest
Campaign of Fire Prevention Week"
Meeting Ready Response Among
Gallatin Forest Lovers.

Despite the fact that every week
that rolls along is devoted to some
cause or other, the present week be-
ing designated for two separate en-
deavors, there being a deal of inter
est being taken in the campaign Of
the forest service regarding Fire
Prevention" week, which is on just
now.
Living as we do amidst some of the
great timber reserves of the nation,
it is natural that local people should
be interested in fire prevention. The
slogan, Burnt feed won't fatten
stock" is one that is easily brought
home to every rancher aud stockman
in the valley, for a great percentage
of our cattle and sheep find their
summer pasture in the different for
est reserves surrounding the valley.
Another point that makes the week
Of special significance to local peo-
pie is the fact that fire could easily
destroy one of our greatest undevel-
Oped resources, the scenic beauty OF
the mountains near the Gallatin val
ley. What would the Wet Gallatin
Middle Greek, or any other canyon be
without the myriad of pine trees that
green the hillsides and grace the
mountain meadows?
Slogans calling attention to firepre
vention have been placed IN consplc
uous places in Bozeman and othel
towns of the valley, attractive little
buttons displaying the green fir tre'

JOE huff HEADS
HORSESHOERS
Local Blacksmith Head of State
Organization.

Joe Huff, local blacksmith, was re-
elected to head the Montana Horse
sboers' Association for another year
at the annual convention of the So
ciety held in Butte last Saturday.
The next convention will be called at
the option of the president in the city
he may name. Bert Rundell, of Butte,
was reelected secretary y-treasurer of
the association.
The use of horses as a motive pow
er has more than doubled during the
last five years, according to figures
presented at the state convention
The one national firm which employed
but $50 horses in 1920 has discon-
tinued enough truck lines since that
time to have now $500 horses draw
ing delivery wagons, was among the
figures presented to the assembled
delegates.
Another paper was read stating
that within the past two years the
use Of the saddle horse had increased
more than 200 per cent, especially In
the cities. The steady Comeback" of
the horse is shown in a report from
New York City, where a school has
recently been established to teach
hOres5hoeing. A few years ago ap-
prentices ceased applying for jobs at
shoeing horses, under the impression
that the motor truck would soon have
"Dobbin" in the museum of antiquity
The New York City figures show ar
increase of 800 pr cent in the use OF
work horses in that city.
Because of the impression a few
year, ago that motor transportation
would put the horse completely out o.
business, many large stock ranches
quit raising draft horse. With th'
heavy demand for work horses durinl
the past year, the price of draf
stock has reached one of the highes
point IN recent years.
Other papers read at the conven
tion showed an increase in the pro
duct Of various shoe, calk and nai
manufacturers.
The delegates, accompanied by
number of representatives of suppl
houses, motored to Anaconda afte
the convention. The day was close
with banquet at Gregson Springs
Al Mcleod of Butte, officiated a
toastmaster.
