Governor Dixon appointed seven
delegates from Montana to atsend
the Worlds Dairy Congress and Na.
tional Dairy Show convened in the
month Of October in Washington and
the National Dairy Show 1t Syracuse
N. Y. There has never been SO much
general interest in dairying in the
history Of this state IS has been
show in various ways during the pres
ent year. There are more indications
that Montana is to go into the busi-
ness on a large scale than ever be-
fore. st
1t will perhaps take a long time
for Montana to become as much Of =
dairy state as is Wisconsin today and
yet right along after the Civil war
Wisconsin was simply a wheat pro-
ducihg state. The situation was not
very different from that which pre-
walls in Montana at the present time.
The transition has occupied nearly
40 years. The success is rather won
derful.
1t has been said that the secret of
Wisconsin is in team work-investi-
CATION to get the facts and the use
of the knowledge growing out of the
facts. This knowledge must be
used by team work operating through
community groups. Doing things by
communities is the fashion in Wis
consin. When the right group of
rural people is associated for a COM
mon purpose cooperation is easy.

MONTANA FOLLOWING WISCONSIN

With a community organized, any
activity is possible
Wisconsin u ! rare combination
of i great Industrial state and also
i great agricultural state. About
half her population is engaged in
industrial pursuits, and slightly over
half in agriculture. She has a mar
ket at hand for the food she pro-
duces. II
The development Of Wisconsin ag-
riculture has gone through about the
same process as all of the states in
the middle west. In 1860 Wisconsin
produced 10000, 600 bushels Of wheat
and was second only to Illinois in
wheat production. She was prac-
ticalIy a one-crop state.
In the late sixties began what is
without doubt n Of the most re-
markable agricultural developments
in the history of America, the move
ment which made Wisconsin the fore
most dairy state of the union. The
state had a good soil and climate and
a sturdy people. The two foremost
factors, however, was the work done
to develop a dairy state by the col
lege of agriculture of the University
Of Wisconsin, and the splendid type
of personal leadership which rose to
the opportunity.
The first cheese factory was built
in Wisconsin in 1864. Early in the
seventies creameries began to appear
in Wisconsin. Then began the move
to improve and s~tandardize the

The independent who lowered the
price met the 1914 cent rate which
the governor forced for Sioux Falls.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse
but the man who deliberately evades
or defes the laws should receive a
much sitter sentence than the n
who commits a crime in ignorance.
1t isn't the little fellow whose
bluldering, bungling law %evasions
earn them occasional Jail sentences,
who cause the real. trouble in enforc-
ing the Volstead law. It's the re-
spected people in the community who
feel that the eighteeth amendment
wasn't meant to apply to them, and
the speakeasy general public, who
would like to see law enforcement
but would rather let someone else
start the cleanup.

NEW YORK, Oct. With
the situation returned to its pre-
series status Of Wednesday the
deep thinkers of the Giants and
the deep hitters of the Yankees
will resume operations in the
third game of the worlds series
at the Yankee stadium this after
noon each harboring the convic-
ton that theirs and none other,
is the system which must prevail.
The Giants, thinking deep, subtle
thoughts, conspired to win the
opening game; the Yankees, hit
ting deep, non-subtle hits won
the second.
Sec Odds on YanIxs.
The rest Of the series may now
be entitled 1.-THE Hangman's Choice:
or, Pull the Rope and Run"
However, those OF speculative turn
Of mind are pleased to believe that
the odds lie with the Yankees. They
again made the latter s to in the
betting today, and one hardy soul
went so far as to lay $1,000 against
$4,000 at a famous Broadway ron
devious. He was still under the
spell Of the two home runs waited
out of the park yesterday by our
Mr. Ruth, tending to indicate that
John McGraw can no longer think
faster than our hero can hit.
John will try again today, how
ever, and is almost certain to uae
Art Nehf's left hand as his medium
of expression. Nehf, long source
of mystery to Yankee hitting, is
somewhat overdue in this series.
He was the unanimous selection Of
the narrow-eyed, calculating experts
to pitch the opening game. He
didn't. They spoke for him as the
inevitable choice for the second
game. He wasn't. They have now
decided that he will pitch the third
game for certainty, and we can
do no less than string along.
If the series lasts long enough,
Mr.. Nehf will pitch a game, and the
experts will be right, severally and
in toto.
Sam Jones. the best pitcher on
Higgins staff and known as "Sad
Sam" more for the sake Of euphony
than the fact OF his lugubrfous out
look, will appear for the Yankees,
unless he breaks a neck or drinks
mucilage by mistake.
He is the curve ball wonder Of
the staff and Pennock proved yes.

This is an opinion of leading spor
authorities and fans who have seen
the pantomimes Of world series
games staged by The Washington
Times and The Washington Herald
with two marine teams at American
League Park. Another performance
Is on tap today.
1t is interesting to note that the
New York crowd at the second game
was far smaller than that at the
opener, but that the pantomime held
its own. An increase both in New
York and here was predicted for to-
day, with interest frightened by the
Yankees tying the series.
Babe Ruth's marvellous batting Is
considered likely to have a booming
effect, too. The pantomime fans
went wild when the Bambino marine
murdered the phantom sphere.
Marines Get Excited.
They were no less interested when
the Devil Dogs put on hot argu-
ment at second base when Young of
the Giants upset Ward. This battle
between umpires and players and
among the players themselves was
so realistic that many of the thou
stands thought the marines would
1njure one another.
AS a matter of fact, there was a
casualty. Jimmy Boyd, pantominle
ump, is nursing a badly cut leg.
He was spiked by a Marine during
the mixup, and his right underpln-
ming is so sore and stiff that James
may not be able to resume action
today.
Football Game On.
Fans are expected to flock to the
ball park Sunday If the series Is
anywhere near close, for there will
be a double attraction. After the
pantomine. the champion Mercury
football team will battle its staunch
foe of a year ago, the eleven rep
resenting the Marine barracks.
The Washington times., 1923-10-12

This contest will be staged by the
Mecury club independent of the two
newspapers and there will be an
admission charge of 55 cents.
Tickets will be sold by the Mercury
club to fans on the way in to the
pantomime and after the ball game
the park will be cleared of all ex-
cepting those holding football
tickets.
The Marines were practicing their
stuff this morning to smooth off a
few rough edges, although their per.
Torrance yesterday delighted the
spectators.
Tonight the players and umpires
will be guests of the Shubert-Be-
lasco film performance of "Scara-

bullets in his abdomen and shout

Mrs. Ida M. Leslie, a widow,

"three strange men" suddenly ap-

at her home at Ledge road, South
Beach, Conn, last night, shooting
down Mas without warning.
Two Stories Differ.
Her story differed from that given
police by Mas.
AS a result Prosecuting Attorney
White today ordered an investigation
into the facts of the shooting.
"I am engaged to marry Mr.,

attractive woman of thirty, told 20

Mas Is vice president of the Mass

Mrs. Leslie Examined.
Mrs. Leslie was called before
Prosecutor White at midnight and
remained closeted with the officia
until early today.
White was informed by police that
in their investigation, they were told
by neighbors of Mrs. Leslie that a
New York automobile, carrying three
men, stopped in front of Mrs. Les
lies secluded bungalow on Wednes
day night. The action of the mer
aroused suspicion, police said, and
neighbors took down the number
Authorities are now seeking the
owner of the car.
White expressed the belief that
jealousy might have caused tho
shooting. Mrs. Leslie, however, in
sisted she did not know the men who
attacked Mas, and believed it was
