GALLATIN STOCK
wins MANY PRIZES
Local Exhibits of Cattle, Sheep, Hogs
and Poultry Uphold Honor of COun-
ty at Leading Fairs of the State

Gallatin livestock of many differ
ent types and breeds more than held
their own at the leading fairs of the
state in the last two weeks and
brought home a goodly share of the
best ribbons. What is of even more
importance, livestock breeders report
a renewed demand for purebred ami
mails from every part of the state.
Local herds were represented at both
the Midland Empire fair at Billings
and the State fair at Helena.
Billings held the most successful
fair in the history Of the exposition
anl local breeders who took their
stock to the Yellowstone are unani-
NOUS in their praise of the show. Not
so many Gallatin breeders showed at
Billings as at Helena, but it is ex-
pected that next year the Billings
entries will show a substantial in
crease from this section of the state.
r. E. Martin showed about ten
head Of his Shropshire sheep at the
Midland Empire fair and made a
clean sweep of the awards in his de-
Dartment
Joe Filings of Manhattan showed
Hampshire hogs in competition with
two other herds, one from billings
and one from Chinook and won ;
majority of the blue ribbons as wei
as all the championships. Filings
Hampshires attracted a lot of favor

GALLATIN NEEDS
COUNTY LIBRARY
County Library Experts Urge Need
for Such an Institution at State
Convention Held Here This Week.

The fifteenth annual convention OF
the Montana State Library assocla-
ton held three days session in Boze- !
man this week. While many import
ant considerations Of library affairs
were discusser during the week, thel
outstanding feature Of the conven-
ton, so far as Gallatin county Isl
concerned was the unanimous opin-
ion of-the Ebratry experts that a
county library would be great thing
for Gallatin cOuntq.
Miss Gertrude Buckhous, county
library expert, attending the conven-
tion made the statement that for 81
tax on every $4,000 Of assessed pro-
perty every person in the county
could have equal library facilities.
Miss Buckhous showed the entire
lack Of economy in maintaining small
town libraries by explaining the
county library plan, which in brief,
is of maintaining a set of ready re-
ference books in each branch station
of the library and of constantly
changing the list of fiction, biography
history and other books not constant
ly needed from one branch library to
another.
Miss Ruth Worden, Missoula coun-
! ty librarian, explained the working
of the system in Missoula county
where there are SO branch libraries
and where the books are being con
! stantly changed from one station tx
another. This gives all the people il
the county an equal chance at diff
ferent kinds of books and at the sam,
initial cost as one set would entail.
Miss Worden compared the cost O
city and a country library AM
showed that the Missoula county
library, serving all the people in tn
county, is operating at PRACTICAL!
the same cost as the city library here
that serves only the people in Boze
man. Under the Montana laws an
likewise under IA Carnegie library
ruling, the city library could be turn
ed over to the county. Montana law
permit the levying of one mill fo
library purposes hut in Missoul
county the library is operated on
! one-half mill levy. Miss Worden CAV
! many interesting examples of tn
: worth and service rendered by tn
county library and made strong pie
for the establishment of such an IL
stitution in te Gallatin.

KIWANIANS MAKE
COMMUNITY VISIT

The first series Of trading friend
ship" tours planned by the local Xiv
anis club took place Monday night
when the club repaired bodily to Three
Forks and met there with the Three
Forks Commercial club in a Dutch
supper that was an unqualified sue
cess. The meeting and supper were
held in the Sacajawea club and more
than justified the efforts of the local
people and their Three Forks friends
to make the meeting a success. The
Kiwanis club plans similar trips to
the other towns of the valley during
the fall and winter months.
R. o. Wilson, president of the Xiv
anis club presided at the meeting and
initial pep and spirit was put into
the meeting by the singing of several
Kiwanis songs. Over 80 men sat at
the table and there was not a dull
moment during the evening. Presi-
dent Loft of the Three Forks Com
mercial club welcomed the visitors
and H. G. Klemme and R. E. Bodley
contested for the honor of giving the
response. Honors even.
A. H. Stafford gave his classifica-
tion talk and spoke on the Economic
Condition of Montana" pointing out
the first bright future of the many
homesteaders of a decade ago, speak
ing of the hard years just passing and
the brighter ones that now seem as
sured. He said that there was now
every indication that Montana was
again coming into its. own and while
it would take time to heal the scars
the last few years have made, there
was little to worry about in the future.
Norman Kvalnes Of Three Forks
) spoke along the same lines, telling Of
t the hard times experienced in the Da-
kotas in the early days, harder even
: than the travels through which Mon
n tana has so recently gone, and Of the
e prosperity which is now everywhere
e in the Dakotas. He spoke with assur-
d anee Of the future success Of Montans
e and Montana farming.
o The meeting lasted until late hour
+ and both Bozeman and Three Forks
l. people who attended were delightes
with the outcome.

BIRTHDAYS FEATURE
ROTARY LUNCHEON

At the Tuesday luncheon of the RO-
tary club the birthdays of local men,
bers were the feature of the day,
three men having passed another mile
stone Of life during the month. Car
nations, a seat of honor and the pri-
vilege of addressing the club were the
lot of those fortunate enough to have
birthdays and J. M. Hamilton, c. W.
Sweet and c. P. Steffens were the
lucky men.
c. w. Sweet, in speaking to the club
said he was a native Montanan, born
81 years ago in Boulder and save for
travelling, had never lived outside the
state.
Claude Steffens said that he was
born Al years ago in Virginia City
and, with the exception of his mar
riage and his attendance at Lou How
ards 21st birthday party, had lived
quiet and uneventful life.
J. M. Hamilton insisted that he was
the youngest of the trio as far a:
being a Montanan goes, having lived
in the state but 81 years. He sale
he was born in southern Illinois, on {
farm and had the privilege Of living
there until he was 25 years old. Dear
Hamilton spoke of the great privileg,
it is to any American to have beel
brought up in one place, to have {
single house and locality on which t
pin his boyhood memories in late
years. "The fixture of home an
ones birthplace and where he gre
to maturity, in the mind of a ma
or woman, is one of the most beau
tiful of sentiments and the memorie
of such will do more to perpetual
Americanism than anything els
said the Dean in conclusion.
Prof. L. D. Conkling entertained I'll
Rotarians for the balance of the hou
with tale of his experiences in NAL
ing a $500 mile auto trip to Ne
York and back last summer. Mr.. Coz
king told how he equipped his ca
for camping, of the many interestin
experiences of the trail, the state
the roads and the cost of the trip.

While the connection between the
word mill and the family names of
Miller and Mills is quite obvious, tho
connection between Mines and Mil
nor u more obscured.
Tho latter two forms Of the name
are the only modern survivals Of tho
original form Of the word mill, which
was Smilne' or incline"
There Is another connection here,
too, which does not strike most peo-
pie. It becomes more obvious as we
trace the spelling of the word mill
back to "melne." and the word meal
back to its older form of '.meIe. "
The name Of the article and that of
the place in which it Is made come
from the same word root.
Tho family name OF Miller Is al
most always found with the spelling
'Mellere" in the medieval records,
and Miner is found as 'Melner."
In the beginning these words were
used in the purely descriptive sense,
denoting the occupation Of the
le Melner."
The more ancient forms of Mills
and Milne are preceded by the words
"atte'' or ''de la," meaning Eat the''
and rof the" denoting that the bear
ers Of these names lived near q mill,
or were actually millers.
The name Milward signifies that
the original bearer OF 1t was the
warden or custodian OF a mill, In
such cases the owner being q member
Of the nobility Or perchance a re-
ligfous institution.

Going Stale.

Foot ball Is a pernicious game for

which the player must be trained
with nice scientific care lest he suffer

toAattempt to play foot ball. to pre-
tend to train" them in a season
counted by days rather than weeks
and months, is an abuse of athletics
which no one interested in physical
education should countenance.
There is a condition or state which
athletes call staleness, brought about
by oyerexertion, by exercise of any
kind carried to excess before the in
dividual has been sufficiently trained
for endurance. StaleneSs is a mani
festation of constitutional exhaustion.
which expresses itself in breathless-
