GALLATIN COUNTY
LEADERS MEETING.

The regular local leaders training
school given under the auspices Oh
the home economics extension service,
cooperating with the Gallatin county
extension service was held at. the
State College, Friday, June 20. This
was tie seventh of the series of meet
lngs planned at the request of severa.
Of the Gallatin county rural commun-
tiles as a mean of securing special
lists assistance with home economics
problems.
During the year problems in cloth
ing selection and construction, food
ana nutrition, and home management
have been discussed by specialists of
the home economics extension service.
Fridays program was ~centered
around a demonstration and discus
sion of home conveniences, both COM
mercial and homemade, led by Miss
Lottle Milan, home management spe-
cialist. The use of several pieces Of
equipment was demonstrated, as fire
less cooker, iceless refrigerator, pres
sure cooker, mop-wripger, fly-trap
and various other pieces of smaller
equipment. The communities repre-.
sented have been looking forward tt
the home convenience meeting for &
long time and felt that it was n OF
the most helpful meetings they haC
had. The local hardware stores add
ed much to the interest and success
of this meeting by loaning equip
ment for demonstration.
Two communities, Bridger and Lev
erich, have been especially faithful
in their attendance at these meeting
and have had all the way from Is u
"a people present at their local com
munity meetings which follow the 10
cal leaders meetings at the college.
There will be no leaders meeting
during July and August, but there i
interest in continuing certain phase
OF this work this fall. Miss Lee stat
ed that providing a sufficient numbe
of communities in Gailatin count,
were interested that pans would b
made for an arrangement similar t
the above for the ensuing year.

problems involve our self preserva-
ton, commercial prosperity and stand
ing in world affairs, and the most
satisfactory solution can be reached
only when our citizens know the facts,
discuss them and give earnest con-
~sideration to them. 1t is only by this
method that the people can elect the
proper official to represent them. The
President reminds US that the gov
eminent cannot accomplish all things
alone as if by ''the stroke of a magic
wand" The people should help, and
he has given an impetus to thought
of our problems by his very compre-
hensive- exposition of the various
phases of these problems.
Mr.. Harding comes to us with the
highest motives. He has proven this
by his display of eagerness to serve
and his insistences on non-partisan re-
ceptions.
Regardless of the party he belongs
to, it is proper, as well as beneficial
to all concerned, that the chief ex-
ecutiye of our land should make an
occasional visit among the people.

SMITH STARTS FIRST
MOVE FOR DEFENSE

Continued from Page One.)
there isn't anything l wouldn't do for
her. Even now 1 would take her
back and forgive everything she has
DONE
At that time Banner said if she,
Mrs. Banner, wanted to get a divorce,
she could. Attorney Justin M. Smith,
when he was appointed to defend
Banner by Judge B. B. Law, decided
that Mrs. Banner, divorced from DAN
ner, would be or might be a valuable
witness for the state. If she was
still the wife of Danner, she could
mot testify against him.
The divorce decree could have been
granted yesterday, the 20-day limit
for filing objections having been up,
If both parties to the suit were will
ing. Now, it seems Banner is not
willing to. grant the divorce, and de-
clares through his attorney that he
was never cruel to her and that the
allegations in the complaint are false.
Banner still retains his jovial spir-
its in Jail, and apparently is not con
cerned over the charges of murder
placed against him. He sings and
talks with his fellow prisoners
sometimes acts as if he thought he
was an important parsonage.

CITIZENS SHOULD
KNOW PAVING COST.

{Continued from Page One.)
=all the requirements of the city are
with end the paving is want
ed by a majority Of the property
owners, it might be impossible to
have the work done this year. This
brings up a former ruling OF the COM
.missioners that petitions for improve
-ments should be filed with the city
before May 10, of each year, if they
are to be completed within that year.
In speaking Of the paving situa-
4ion, E. T. Rich, Of the Standard Con-
sstruction company, who have the con-
tract for repairing the paving where
the street car tracks will be taken
up stated that it was not difficult for
people to find out the exact cost of
paving if they were interested. The
commission were of the opinion that
no more paving should be attempted
IN Bohemian until prices of construc-
ytion came down, and regarding this
Mr. Rich said that the price of paw
ing depended on wages, material and
Src;rht rates, and that he could not
-, whether paving would be cheaper
next year or not.

again. This was the auto in which
Mccarthy was travelling and leading
the way for Beckwith.
Beckwith and his cargo were taken
into custody. He pleaded guilty to
possessing and transporting liquor.
He was fined $40O, which he paid after
staying in Jail for ten days. The car
was confiscated, and yesterday an eff
fort was made by him to get it back.
An effort was made to learn the
source of the information which led
to the knowledge of Beckwith coming
over with the liquor supply. 1t was
strongly suggested that Mccarthy had
double-crossed Beckwith, and the lat
ter said that everything connected
with the transaction indicated this to
be so. He said when Mccarthy turned
out in the road at the cemetery, that
this must have been the signal for the
sheriff's force to stop him.
Sheriff Jim Smith and Undersherif1
'Orville Jones each testified that they

knew nothing of Mccarthy, and denied
that he had anything to do with the
apprehension Of Beckwith, as far as
they were concerned.
Mccarthy is now out on bonds. He
was arrested o after the Beckwith
pisode on a charge Of possessing IL
quor. He pleaded not guilty. He re-
manned in Jail for several days, and
then one night his wife drove up to
the jail in a car loaded with s~uitcases,
She paid the necessary $3.50 for hire
husbands release, both of them enter
ed the car, and that is the last that
has been heard of them by the off
Gals. If he does not appear at the
time his trial is called, the cash bono
will be forfeited.
