TO DEAD MEMBERS

Impressive Elks' Memorial day, of
"lodge of sorrow," services were held
Sunday afternoon at the Presbyterian
church by the local lodge of Elks.
These services are held by the ant
Tered organization simultaneously

Besides the regular memorial ritual
of the order, there was special pro-

music; a. memorial address delivered
by Bro. Lewis Terwillinger, of Liv-

Fred F. Lay.
Mr.. Lay pointed out that total

automobile accident in Butte in which
he sustained brain injury which
rendered him unconscious for sew
eral weeks and from which he is
thought never to have fully recov-
cred. Those who know him best be-
lieve that this accident caused a
pressure on the brain which is at
least partially responsible for his
later crimes.
He was married twice, his first
wife leaving for her home in the east
after only a few days of married
life. His second wife was widow
with two children, to whom the Salt

he went to bring back four arrested
men who were held there on suspicion
of having also been implicated in the
wholesale bank robberies of the past
few years. He stopped in Helena for
extradition papers.
The names of the men for whose
return to Montana extradition papers
were issued Monday by Governor Jo-
seph M. Dixon, are Alolph Melcher,
George Dyer, Tom Martin and Frank
Warren. The charge placed against
the men by the Salt Lake City Of

GRAIN JUDGING TRIO
IN WORLDS CONTEST
STATE COLLEGE TEAM, WINNER
OF HONORS AT PORTLAND,
NOW IN CHICAGO

Montana's prize winning grain
Judging team of the Montana State
college, departed last Saturday after
noon for Chicago, where they are
competing against crack teams from
almost every state in the Union, as
we'll as the Canadian provinces IN
the annual International Livestock,
Hay and Grain show which opened
Monday in the Windy City.
The members of the team which
took first place at the Pacific Inter
national at Portland last month, and
who will represent the college at
Chicago are: Winton Weydemeyer,
of Libby, a junior in General Agri-
culture; William D. Hay of Hamil-
ton, senior in Agronomy; and Louis
B. Newman, a junior in Agronomy.
The fact that the team was able to
make the trip to Chicago was due to
the efforts of the local chapter OF
Alpha Zeta, honorary agricultural
fraternity, which instituted a cam
paign for subscriptions to finance
the trip. Great enthusiasm and the
heartiest support was found by the
fraternity throughout its campaign,
both in the college itself, in the town
of Bozeman, and among the alumni
throughout the entire state.
Over $4,000 was raised by a com
mittee Of the fraternity in less than
week. Heartiest support of the
team was found wherever asked, and
the required amount was raised with
out the slightest difficulty.
Particular credit in the success OF
the endeavor to finance the trip Of
the grain team is due to the member:
of the committee selected to canvass
the college and .he town. Donald
Mcmillan was the chairman Of thu
committee and was assisted by lie
Roy Powers and A. G.. Stevens. Mr.
J. c. Taylor, an alumni member o
the chapter who is now county agen
leader for Montana also did very not
able work in securing subscription
from the alumni of NJ. S. c. Sub
scriptions we're received from The
alumni who had graduated man,
years Sgo, and had almost complete
~ lost touch with the college.

CALL MASS Meeting
FOR WHEAT GROWERS
GALLATIN COUNTY RANCHERS
URGED TO JOIN LEAGUE TO
PETITION CONGRESS

A mass meeting, at which not only
the wheat growers of the territory
Immediately adjacent to Bozeman,
but also the public generally, are
urged to be present, has been called
for Saturday afternoon at 1880
o'clock at the Courthouse by the ten
tative committee composed of H. S.
Buell., R. J. Pasha and J. J. Stucky
to discuss the proposed export cor
pOration and the formation of an
Agricultural Export league for the
protection of wheat growers which
was formulated last week in Helena.
NJ. L. Wilson, of the State college,
who has just returned from Wash
ington, D. c., has been invited to
explain the proposed plan and to
answer any questions that may be
asked him by those present.
Preceding the meeting in Boze-
man, there will be open mass meet
ing held tomorrow afternoon, Thurs
day, at 2:30 o'clock at the Town hall
in Belgrade, and Friday afternoon
at 800 o'clock at the Community hall
in Manhattan.
The proposed plan Was originated
by the American Wseat Growers As
sociation, Inc, in the Corn Exchange
/ in Minneapolis. Mimi, of which Geo
rye C. Jewett is general manager. It
proposes to put before Congress a
bill "creating an agricultural ex-
port commission consisting Of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, the Sec
retary of Commerce and the Secre-
tarv of Agriculture, the latter being
the chairman, and who would have
power to levy q tax upon all the
saleable wheat produced in the Un
tied States. The fund thus created
would then be applied as premium
on that portion Of the wheat crop
which is sold for export. Inasmuch
as the export portion Of the crop
is less than one-fourth Of the total
production, the Aushelage tax colleet.
: ed would be increased fourfold when
8 applied AZ premium On the exporl
wheat"

That Montana has again shown her
supremacy over the entire continent
in the growing Of quality small
grains was seen in the receipt, this
week, of the official placings and
winning of top-notch premimums by
Treasure state farmers in the annual
international Grain & Hay show held
in Chicago.

farm located about one mile south of
BOZeman in the heart of the irriga-

Montana was the only state in the
Union that won top placings on oats,
the most of the winnings going to

winnings by County Agent R. E.

Montana's exhibits at the big show,
he said: eve can't afford to stop

charming light opera, "The Impersa-

the great composer. Not only does
Mozart figure in the plot of this oper-
attic comedy, but his exquisite music
is interviewer throughout the pro-
duction.
Percy Hemus, the celebrated bari

gaging singers for road show. Not
only is the music sparkling and tune
full, but the dialog is full of gay
witticisms and quips that keep tn,

ter.
Mr. Hemus is ably supported by
such fine singers as Hazel Hunting

that was valuable in the manufacture
Of furniture and rugs, and which for
many years was annually harvested.
Many men and teams were employed
there thru a season of several weeks
and later the railroads profited thru
the freight shipments from these
meadows. In Minneapolis factory

to large force of men.
Today it is all changed. A drain
age ditch was built thru this section
of country, the grass died out and the
peat that formed became so dry that
it would burn. Fires caught in the
peat boys where the meadows were
and burned for weeks and months.

the general result has been harmful

Wheat Grouers Will Ask for
Legislation to Help Conditions

conditions Of international markets. /"
The American Wheat Growers As
ISOLATED plan, according to the organ
ization, would result in dement's tt
high premium wheats equaling those
of other varieties. The effect would be
a flat increase in basic domestic price
according to the amount added to the
export price. The various price diff
ferentials in wheat values, based on
different qualities, would be main
tanned.
The plan is defined by the organi-
zation as being reverse application
of the tariff principle making that
principle effective to the farmer on
what he has to sell as well as on what
he has to buy" According to the
American Wheat Growers Associated
no element of price-fxing is involved
and no federal funds will be neces-
sary to operate the commission after
it has once been established. Elk
pense of operation it is claimed, will
be comparatively insignificant be-
cause of the ease with which the tax
may be collected from the saleable
wheat and then applied as premium
to the surplus for export.
