Horace c. Maddox is Named as Receiver for
the X. & F. Manufacturing Com
pany on Monday.
FILE BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
Involuntary Petition in Bankruptcy Filed by Group of
Chicago Creditors With Result That Re-
cever is Named by Court.

Affairs of the X and F Manufaetur-
ing company, a Kenosha factory en-
ploying seventy workers and located
at the corner of Avery and Superior
streets, were thrown into the courts
Monday Afternoon when an involun-
tary petition in bankruptcy was filed
in the federal court in Milwaukee
with a result that Horace G. Maddox
was named by the court as receiver
for the company. Mr.. Maddox took
over the affairs of the company i'm
mediately and it is now being operated
under his direction.
The involuntary petition in bank
ruptcy was filed by group of Chi
cago creditors Of the company by
their attorney, A. G. Hoover, of Chi
cago. 1t represented the liabilities
as 100000. No formal statement was
made by officials of the company re-
garding the claims made in the petit
ton, but it is understood that much
higher value on the property and bust
ness of the company as a going concern
is claimed by the officials.
Company to Continue Operation.
The litigation will not halt the
operation of the plant, according TO
Mr.. Maddox, as work will be con-
tinued on important contractors which
the company holds. The force at the
plant was cut somewhat on Monday
but it is not known whether or not
this step will be permanent.
1t is believed possible that the APP
pointment of a receiver will provide
way for the company to find path
out of its financial difficulties and Of

NEUMAN SPEAKS ON
STERILIZATION.

MISSOULA, Aug. 14-John x.
Neuman, formerly connected with the
biology department Of the State Uni
versity, in a lecture before summer
school students Of the eUgenics class
at the university discussed ~Eugenic-
al Sterilization" and included an ex-
PLANTATION of the sterilization bill
passed by the last legislature.
DR.. Neuman began his lecture by
telling of his experience in the field
Of eugenics, including work at Ellis
Island, work in Wisconsin, and then
the work carried on here at the uni
versity.
"We know that life comes from
pre-existing life" said DR.. Neuman,
"and we also know that it is impos-
sible to change races or types. Con-
sequently there will no doubt be as
many subjects for sterilization In the
future as there has been in the past,
if not a much larger number. These
subjects for sterilization are usually
the insane and the feeble-minded,
he said.
Last year there were 1865 appl-
cants for places in the state institu-
tions for the insane In Montana ano

new buildings are completed. 1t costs
/ the state of Montana 1855 per yeal
for maintenance of each of these PEG
pie, and there is. one family IN Mon
tana with IL feeble-mindeo members.
DR.. Neuman gave some of the mail
points in the law that was presente'
to the Montana legislature and in
cluded in these the facts that befor
sterilization can be practiced in thi
state the consent Of the parent o
guardian. of the patient must be oh

to straighten out an inequalities in
the assessments and untangle various
misunderstanding that are always
bound to come up.
There were but two cases where
substantial reductions were made by
the board. The Lehrkind brewery was
assessed at a valuation of $50, 900 and
this was cut to $4,000 by the board.
The property of the Manhattan Malt
ing company was cut from $50 900 to
$4,000. 1t was set forth by the
owners of these two establishments
that their properties were built before
the days of prohibition, that they
were now unable to use them and that
neither of the plants could be oper-
ated at the present time.
The board received fewer COM
plants this year than for the past
few years and in many cases of COM
plant, an explanation by the board
satisfied the tax payers.

incidently Bozeman was pleased that
this particular show was one of the
best ever showing in the Gallatin
valley.
An incident of The circus is worth
recording. When President Schuyler
of the Rotary club went to the ticket
office early this morning to secure
IL tickets for small boys who were
nrize-winners at the big boys pic
mic held at the Bozeman Hot Springs
yesterday, he told the ticket man the
story of the picnic. Not to be out
done by local men in their generosity
to the boys, the Wallace-Hagenbeck
people offered that if one or two Ro-
tarians would take enlarge of these
boys in a body, they could not only
see the circus for tn eprice of their
admission, but the circus men would
see to it that they saw every side
show and the concert as well, with
the compliments of the Wallace-Ha-
genbeck show. A big picnic one day,
the entire circus program the next, is
it any wonder that at least II small
boys in Bozeman are satiated with
pleasure?

GOES TO KANSAS

A. E. Oman, who for the past three
years has been in charge of rodent
control work in the state, left this
week for Manhattan, Kansas where he
was transferred by the government to
conduct a rodent control campaign
this fall. This work, although carried
on with the cooperation of state ex-
tension service departments, is under
the supervision of the United States
biological survey department.
Rodent c%ort~ol work in Montana is
carried on = ith the cooperation of the
extension service of the State college
here. Working in this nj Mr..
Oraan made a good showing in Mon
tana and acquired many friends, all of
v7hom regret to learn of his transfer.
He came to Montana from Idaho,
where he had been a member of the
state extension service to take the
/ governmental position.
o. E. Stephel, formerly assistant to
Mr.. Oman, has been placed temporily
in charge of the work in the state.
He took his new duties Monday. Mr..

The officers of the department were

cal stars. Lou Howard and Earl
Marshall likewise capered over the
diamond for a time.
While the boys were interested in
the ball game, the real attraction of
the afternoon was the plunge, and
every once in a while there would be
a rush of expectant youths to see if
the big pool were open.
After the ball game other athletic
contests were held, including 50-yard
dashes for the boys of different ages
and a sack race. The winners OF
these races, as well as the members
of the ball team, were given circus
tickets as prizes.
At 4 o'clock the plunge was opened
and the sight Of nearly 200 young
sters splashing around in the big pool
was worth going miles to see. There
were real divers and swimmers among
these lads and of curse they delight
ed to show off their prowess. But
Ill. Joys who could not swim had
just as good a time, splashing around
in the shallow end of the pool, duck
ing each other, throwing water on
the Rotarians who were watching the
fun, and enjoying themselves in ways
only boys can know
Following the plunge the boys
lined up and had their eats-sand-
wiches, pop, dOughnuts, brick ice
cream, sweet rolls. There was plen.
ty to go round and it was needed
The boys were all filled up, and what
they left the hungry Rotarian bal
team finished. There was nothing tt

1t is safe to say that everyone haC
a good time, the big boys and little
