JENS BSEN AWARDED
GRAND PRIZE AT The
MONTANA STATE FAIR
SHEAVES AND A PECK
OF FLAX GROWN ON THE JENS
IBSEN FARM NEAR ..DOOLE4
RECEIVE BLUE RIBBON ONER
ALL MONTANA FLAX EXHIBITS

County Commissioner Jens Ibsen
was very pleased and proud man as
well he might be, when the tlrst OF
this week he received a beautiful long
blue ribbon on which was printed IN
gold letters Grand Prize for best dis
play of Flax in Montana from the
State Fair Board.
This is indeed a very high honor
and Mr.. Ibsen is to be congratulated
on his success and all Sheridan Coun-
ty will be proud of the fact that Mr..
Ibsen has grown the best flax In the
State of Montana and that Sheridan
County has again shown its suprem-
acy in farm products when it takes
the time to put its exhibits on record.
l.. S. Olson also comes IN for his
share in gathering and preparing the
exhibit of flax. 1t seems that Mr.. Oh
son and Mr.. Ostby, county agent, had
heard that Mr.. Ibsen had a fine stand
of flax on his farm and after a visit
to the farm, three sheaves and a peck
of flax were taken to PlentywoOd ano
from here they were sent to the State
Fair at Helena.
Mr.. Ibsen's flax took first prize not
only over dry land flax but also irri-
gated flax and is a great boon to
Sheridan county. Mr.. Ibsen also re-
ceived a cash award of $500, but he
thinks more of his blue ribobn thar
any amount of money which he might
have received for first prize.

state ioin with the Montana Banking
association in presenting in the SUI
preme court an agreed statement OF
facts. in order to obtain decision as
to the legality of the paper, but the
governor refused to take such a step
and the banks found it Objectionable
to proceed alone.
In the meantime the man who IS
working for the state is up against II

to maintain himself and family until
such time as someone shall, through
proper procedure, obtain from the su,

Duffy wanted to collect for his SER
vices from Sammy, the amount being
three dollars. Sammy stated that he
talked him out of the fight instead Of
into it, and that the three dollars
would get him back home and Duffy
would not have to worry, for as a sec
ond, he was admitted free and saw a
good show for nothing.
1t was a fast fight and full of ac-
ton from the first gong to the finish
The crowd was on its feet and yelling
when Reddick shot in tightening lefts
jabs and deathly rights which made
Traps head bob and then whipped
lefts and rights hook and uppercuts
with dazzling speed to Traps body
and face.
Reddick boxed and fought like a
champion and demonstrated that he
need fear no middleweight in the
world. Trap weighed 168 lbs, while
Reddick retained the middleweight
limit, 100 lbs.

One of the features of the evening s
entertainment was the battle between
Speed Gardner and Spike" O'Neil
Two weeks ago Gardner was knocked
GU by O'Neil on what was called q
foul and the battle last Saturday
night had been looked forward to with
a great deal of interest by Gardner's
friends who were backing their man
to the limit and who were confident
that O'Neil was going to get the trim
ming of his life. Gardner did not lei
any grass grow under his feet from
the first gong, and with both lefts anC
rights completely dazzled O'Neil anC
literally cut his face to ribbons
! O'Neil hung on for two rounds wher
his seconds threw in. the sponge tt
save him from further punishment
and a possible knockout. "Bill" a.
Gardner is known to his many friends
in this city and at Raymond where ht
lives, put up a dandy battle and has
: the ear marks of a real conner. Ray
mOnd came over in a body to support
their favorite and he proved worthy
of their confidence and delivered the
goods. BILL" will no doubt be hearC
of later in the fighting game if he
follows up that line of sport.
Mr.. Moe was the third man in tn,
ring and handled the bouts to perfec
ton.
Credit is due the American Legion
in bringing in high class talent sucl
as offered Saturday night. The loca
promoters are now looking for another
line up to take place here in severa
weeks, and it looks as if this city i.
in line for good winter to encourage
the manly sport.

is absolutely no question in my mind
as to the integrity and character of
the men responsible for the pool oper-
ations in this state. Your selling cost
of less than 1-2 c per buhel is about
one-third of the regular commission
charge and your total operating eX-
pense of DISC per administration, sell
ing, ETC., is very low under present
operating conditions and this cost will
automatically be reduced as you han
die more bushels. l can easily see
where you will reduce your direct
charges by following out your plan OF
more terminal storage and better load
ing facilities, but all members must
realize that it costs to store wheat no
matter who stores it. l learned a
great deal at your meeting, but what
pleased me more than anything else
was the sincerity of the men and the
fair and reasonable way in which each
man expressed himself. By no stretch
of imagination could any of them be
called a Radical. l think this fair at
titude towards the other fellow is one
of the reasons of your success and will
be one great reason why the nationa
pool will succeed. The more l think
of a national pool the more / become
impressed that it will not only NEAR
better prices for the farmer, but i
will also simplify the marketing o.
grain and be of equal advantage tt
the grain buyers.
With every good wish for your sue
cess, l am-with a great deal of ap
probation and sincerity
Cordially yours,
THOMAS D. CAMPBELL.

Helena, Oct. 1.--EmplOyes OF the
state of Montana residing IN Helena
of whom there are many, were Mon
day confronted with a situation OF
having properly issued and signed
state warrents in payment OF their sal-
aries for September, but know means
of raising money upon them.
There was no money in the general
fund of the state from which they
might be cashed and all of the banks
of the capital city declined to invest
any of their funds therein.
At salary payment time a month
ago the banks of Helena agreed TO
cash salary warrants for their custom
ers only, but this led the banks into
such annoying situations that about
two weeks ago two of the leading
banks discontinued the punches Of war
rants, even from their customers, and
their lead was Monday followed by
the other banks of Helena.
CASH SPECIAL WARRANTS
Employees of the state highway de-
partment, fish and game commission,
some of the employees of the Industrial
accident board, livestock commission
and those employees of the secretary
of state connected with the automobile
| license department, were able to cash
their warrants for the reason that
they were drawn upon special. funds
! In which there was still a cash bal
ance.
All state officials and employees paiC
from the general fund, however, were
unable to cash their pay checks unless
they were able to find some frienC
who was willing to invest little cash
State Treasurer o. H. Junod is un
able to pay salary warrants except al
money becomes available to redeem
registered warrants in their turn. A
couple of months ago nearly S25O,OOi
of land board funds were invested II

money soon gave out.

MUST BE REGISTERED
: All other warrants must be regis

? new semi-annual tax collection law
: it is expected that only half of tn
, usual amount will come in through
the November tax collections, so tina
only part of the registered warrant
can be redeemed next winter.
The refusal of the banks to casl
; these warrants was brought abOu
through the advice of the banks law
yers, who claimed there was som
doubt as to the validity of the wa1
rants issued under the current apprC
priations, because of Governor Dixon
