MONTANA LIVESTOCK
REPORT FOR MAY IST
Montana Cooperative Crop and Live
Stock Reporting Service.
Estate and FederaD

Helena, May 10.-Despite declines
in the condition of Montana cattle and
sheep during April, and some losses
suffered among calves and lambs, the
general condition of live stock is very
good; total losses have been light for
the winter past and so far into spring;
and though grass is late, range pros
poets are generally excellent, accord
ing to the May 1 Live Stock Report
issued today by the Montona Cooper
alive Crop and Live Stock Reporting
Service.
RANGES AND PASTURES
The condition of these on May 1 IS
% per cent Of normal The decline of
one point during April is due to the
late start of the new grass, and to the
over-grazing of the lower ranges.
These unfavorable factors were large
ly offset by quite general heavy rains
and SHOWS, which improved range
prospects for the coming season. Old
grass is short in nearly all sections Of
the state, exceptions being noted in
the southeast districts. More rain
would be welcome in the nOrth-central
area, the northwest, and in certain 10
calities in several other districts. For
the state as whole, range prospects
are very good and especially IN all
the higher sections.
FEED
The feeding season has been pro-
longed beyond expectations, most
stockmen in all the higher parts of
the state particularly finding it nee
essary to continue to feed during
April No serious shortages of feed
have been reported, and the state S
surplus of hay and feed, while dimln-
ished, is still general. The bottoms OF
the hay stocks have just about been
reached in most sections of the south
central portion of Montana, and IN
many scattered localities in the north
west, north-central, and central coun-
ties.
CATTLE
Cattle declined 2 points during
on May LIST. Shrinkages were caused
mainly by the late start of new grass
short winter ranges, and prevailing
cold, wet, and windy weather. In
April, showing "a per cent of normal
some localities cattle are thin, especi-
ally cows with calves, but all are
strong and will beign to gam al

the southwest and southeast portions
of the state. Losses have been light
but not a few calves were lost during
the past month due to the cold rains
and SHOWS, and winds. A good cali
crop is expected Sales of cattle have
been slow, but quite a number Of
punches have changed hands, witt

TEN CENTS MORE PER BUSHEL
PAID OVER LINE AT FAIRVIEW
WITNESS CALLED BY RANKIN
TESTIFIES.

Helena, May 4.-Sixty per cent of
the farmers of Fairview, Mont, haul
ed their wheat to Dorr, No OAK, be-
cause they could receive 10 cents a
bushel more in North Dakota than in
Montana, Harold Dundas testified to-
day at the freight rate hearing before
the Montana railroad commission.
Dundas said that the Dorr and Fair
view rates We're equal but that North
Dakota buyers pay 10 cents a bushel
more than Montana buyers.
In reply to a question by the rail-
road attorneys, the witness said after
the grain left DOrr, for the eastern
terminals it had to be carried by the
railroads back over the route taken
bv the grain wagons and then cover
the same distance to North Dakota a
second time to get to the eastern mar
kets.

AMERICANS AFTER
DISTANCE MEN TO
RUN In OLYMPICS

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Athletic or
CARNATIONS throughout the country,
especially in the east, are paying
greater attention than ever before
to the development of distance rum
ners in preparation for the 1924
Olympiad at Paris.
Americas weakness in distance
events. especially the marathon, has
always been a handicap in interna-
tional competition and a problem
constantly to solve. Not since 1908,
in the Olympics at London. whea
Johnny Hayes captured the mara
thon after Dorando, the Italian star.
collapsed when leading near the fin
ish, has the United States produced
winner or landed better than third
place in this classic. The same lack
of class in other distance vents
has often hampered this country's
chances of team victory, despite the
fact that Yankee supremacy has been
established consistently in shorter
races and in many field events.
Distance Events
The increasing number of distance
and marathon races, and the promi-
hence given them in recent athletic
contests, reflects a general effort to
bolster Americas Strength in this
branch of competition. Organiza-
tons in New York and Boston, have
devoted particular attention to bring
ing out talent for longer events,
while road races in various parts of
the country have attracted large en-
tries and stimulated a desire among
runners to train for distance laurels.
Two of the most consistent dis
lance stars now in competition are
Willie Ritola- of the Finnish-Ameri-
can Athletic club. New York, and
r. Earl johnson, Pittsburg negro.
Ritola and Johnson competed in most
of-the principal distance events last
fall, the Finn winning the n tional
10-mile and cross-country titles
which Johnson held the year befofc.
Ilmar Prim. another Finnish-Ameri-
can star, who captured the five
mile national championship, Is in
the front rank of distance cracks.
Marathon stars capable Of COM
peting with European runners have
been largely lacking. Clarence d.
Mar. who Is attempting com back
after many years of competitive idle
ness, and Frank Zuna of New York,
are among the outstanding eligibles
for this event, but there are few
others of top-notch calibre. oevel-
opment of marathon material is one
of the chief goals of those interested
in strengthening the American array
of Olympic contenders for next year.

the pleasure of the participants and
visitors, and for the comfort and at

THE WILL TO WIN
By CHICK EVANS


When the gong changed the finale
of the recent 15-rCund boxing contest
between Lew Tender. of Philadel-
phia, and Pal Moran of New Orleans,
in Madison Square Garden, New
York, bit of Glove making" took
place in the ring. the significance
of which was lost upon the vast ma
jarity of the spectators though it
made plain to few why Moran lost
to the Philadelphia lightweight.
The instant the fight was finished
Moran placed his arm gently around
Tenders neck in demonstration
which probably was mistaken for
the New Orleans fighters friendly
regard for his opponent but which
in reality was an open confession
TO all who really understood the
psychology of the act-that he had
been whipped.
Lacked VIII to Win
The New orleans fighter stepped
into the ring that night without the
will to win. His "loye making in
Dictated that he had not expected to
win. though strangely enough the
crowd was with him and had he
willed himself victory he no doubt
would have had it.
At golf tournament last summer
| heard one of the contestants say,
as he stepped to the first tee with his
opponent: Il have my tickets ready
and my baggage packed for the trip
back home tonight" l felt at that
instant that he would be out of the
tournament at the end of play that
day. He was.
1 cite these examples to show how
train of disaster can follow the
player who fails to will himself a
victory, and the rule applies to the
golfer more than to any other sport
participant. 1t takes a will to win to
make a good golfer and the player
who fails to develop that trait VIII
probably be a dub golfer all his life.
VIII Power in Golf
Because golf is peculiarly game
of mind and muscle co-Crdinated to a
greater extent than is called for in
any other sport, the player who
delVeS into the subject OIL mlnu con-
trol-will pcwer--in golf will be as
founded at the things which will
be revealed to him.
Here IS an easy first step in apply
ing will power to your game.
When you wish to give the ball an
intentional hook, say to yourself as
you prepare TO make the stroke, that
as the clubhead goes through the ball
you will roll your right wrist over
toward the green ahead. Then let the
mind do it. Think no more about
rolling the wrist, and do not try
consciously to do it. You will be
amazed, perhaps, to see your ball
| take a splendid nook and the finish
| of your stroke will prove that your
wrists have rolled.
From that beginning you can &c
on with mind control, or will power
in your game, applying it to any
number Of plays. The practice will
aid you greatly and improve your
score card to a surprising degree
| And remember not to do any ''lovs
making" on the green when you are
| beaten.

sport indicates a mental defeat be-
fore you begin the contest
