MONTANA AFTER
WHEAT TITLE AT
CHICAGO SHOW

Chicago. Nov. 3O.-More than 1000
thoroughbred horses, cattle, sheep and
swine were in their stalls and pens
today for the opening tomorrow of the
international Livestock exposition.
This, the management says, will be
the greatest of the stock shows, held
annually.
In addition to the finest livestock,
including winners of the Canadian ia
cific coast and Kansas City shows, the
International Hay and Grain show has
attracted more than 1000 entries of
hay and grain already, and 5,O46 sam
pies of small seeds, grain and hay are
to be judged.
The Montana college of agriculture
at Bozeman, Montana, which won the
grain judging contest at the Pacific
international show at Portland, will
send its team to the intercollegiate
Grain Judging contest December 6 at
the international Hay and Grain show
held in connection with the livestock
show. A. J. Ogaard, the representa-
tive OF Montana at the hay and grain
show, was the first to finish checking
entries and announced that IT'S actual
samples of Montana grain already
were ready for the inspection of judg-
es and that this state would make a
battle for the wheat championship
held by G. w. Kraft of BOzGrnan in
1921. EH

that several months ago his organiza-

MUSIC STUDY CLUB OFFERS
SECOND BEAUTIFUL PROGRAM

This evening the Tollefsen Trio
will present a program of exquisite
loneliness in the Rylander under the
auspices of the Music Study club.
This is the second program the Mu-
sue Study club has offered Amer
icus in the interest of better music,
the first having appeared in Decem-
her. The third and last will be pre-
scented in March.
The Tonefsen trio, the famous
group Of ensemble players will offer
to the music loving public Of Amer
icus one of its most delightful pro-
gram when they appear tonight at
/ the Rylander theater in concert Of
/ rare beauty. The Tollefseu trio is
faithful in its devotion to Chamber
music and ensemble playing.
Its personnel includes Carl Toilet
sen, violinist; Mrs. Augusta Toilet
sen, pianist and Carl Kefer, violin
/ eeIlist, each an artist of the highest
rank, who could become famous rs
a concert artist in his or her own
name. But they are devoted to their
art fo- ats sake and nineteen years
in the pursuance of an idea! for
which their enthusiasm has never
wayered, has brought its we'll earned
/ success.
After once hearing the exquisite
performance given by them it is
easily understandable way such ar
lists should be wiling to forego all
thought of personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT
for the sake of the pure JOY which
they derive as well as give to others
from their self-imposed mission to
further the cause of chamber music.

call.
