The present legislature has so
far this season done nothing. If
they would keep this up to the
very end it might be a blessing,
The trouble is that during the last
few days of the session the mem
bers will become scared because
they have not passed large num-
Der of laws and then they will in
a few hours grind out large num-
Der without considering them care
fully. What we want is not large
number of new laws but just a
very few that have been studied
carefully and put into such shape
that practical application can be
made of them.-Glenwood Herald.

PlLcHARDS LURED BY MUSIC
Experiences of British Fishermen
Proves That the Fish Have
Ear for Sweet Sounds.

Pilchards are fond of music. In the
summer months large pilchard seines,
manned by some is hands, were In
full swing fishing. One of them had
singers Of a choir belonging to a
chapel among the crew, and one eve
ming when pilchards were scarce and
no fish reported by the go craft watch
ing the sea, the two boats of this seine
closed together to practice music fol
the coming Sundays service. Instantly
pflchards were seen springing up out
of the water around them. The stringed
instruments were quickly dropped, and
In few minutes the men were pre-
pared to enclose the fish; but when
the sound ceased no more fish could
be discovered.
AS no fish appeared after for some
time, the music practice was resumed
and then the boats were surrounded
by pilchards. To keep them around,
some of the instruments continued to
play, while the men got a big haul.
Though these two boats got splen-
did shoal, it was discovered In the
morning that no other boat in the bay
had caught any.

Is known as a double BRAIN" One

Thompson's memory reaches back
only to the time when he left a hos
pital some months ago. He remem-
bers nothing of his life before that
time. 1t was through the veterans
bureau that he established his iden-
tity as Hayward Thompson. OF his
family, former friends, his work and
home before the war and his activ-
tiles during the war, he has been able
to learn nothing. The veterans bu-
reau and the Colorado department of

COLLEGE HERDS HAVE

LIVESTOCK SELECTED AND I'M
PROVED AT SMALL COST RE-
TURN FINE RESULTS AT FAIRS
HERDS SERVE TWO PURPOSES

Fine Anfna.s

The sole object of Montana State
college in making an exhibit OF live
stock at the recent Midland Empire
| fair and Montana State fair was edu-
cational. says c. n. Arnett, head of the
animal husbandry department at the
college. The college exhibit, which
took most notable honors In many
classes at the two fairs, has been the
cause of favorable comment among
stockmen of the state this fall.
Because of the prominence OF ami
mails of the State College herd, Mr..
Arnett has been able to draw interest
Ing conclusions on the cost OF building
M such herd. The college has shown
that high class herds and flocks can be
developed at 4 reasonable outlay OF
cash for breeding stock.
The famous State College Holstein
herd was started In 1908 with foun-
dalton of three cows and one bull The
herd now has more than 80 animals,
practically all defendants OF one COW.
One of these herd animals Is Grace
Roningen, state champion milk pro-
Queer and grand champion at the fair
The total cash investment to date for
the foundation stock and herd bulls
of the Holstein herd would not exceed
$4,000, Mr.. Arnett says. Animals OF
this herd won the following notable
prizes at the state fair: Senior cham
pion bull, grand champion bull. Junior
champion cow, senior champion COW,
grand champion cow. The following
first prizes were won by animals from
this same herd: First for aged bull,
first for junior bull calf, first for aged
COW. first for senior yearling heller,
first for senior heifer calf first for
Junior heifer calf.
In the development Of the Ram
bouillet sheep flock only $3.50 In cash |
and trade has been spent for stud rams
In seven years. At the state fair the |
college Rambouillets won five first |
places, four second places and three
third places. The flock also included |
the champion Rambouillet eve.
In the past six years at the college
about S58 has been spent for new
blood for the Duroc Jersey swine herd.
At the fair a college pig won first in
he Junior boar class, four animals won
'Irst place as the best produce of one
low. and others won first place as the
,est young herd.
The Improvement in stock at the
.olIege has been through the careful
election Of females for use and
through the use Of only good, well
red sires. Correct feeding and grow
ne of stock is quite as necessary as
areful selection and breeding, Mr..
lrnett says.
The herds and flocks are improved
nd increased for two purposes: First,
or class room use to teach students
orrect types Of market and breeding
nimals; second, for experimental pur
oses. The college is not in the COM
,ercial livestock business In any sense.

SOLVED GERMAN RADIO SPEED
Operators Ingenuity in Use of Dlcta
phone Aided In Intercepting Code
Messages.

On a bench In the Bots de Bologne,
In company with mademoiselle, or In
running or crawling toward the
Boches trench, the American dough
boy couldn't be equalled for speed.
When it came time, however, to pass
secret radio messages, where no par
ticular danger was involved either for
the sender or the receiver, the Ger
mans seemed to be able to make 1t a
trifle snapper.
The aforegoing is apropos of the
statement that German code messages
were sent so fast that radio operators
of the allies, who weren't supposed to
be playing, anyway, were not able to
take them. 1t was not long, though,
until what the allied operators lacked
In speed they made up in ingenuity. A
certain operator, by the triangulation
method, found that messages were be-
ing sent from station In Germany to
another In German East Africa.
After several weeks Of work, this
operator took dictaphone to his sta
ton and set the blank wax cylinder In
motion at rapid rate Of speed while
German message was on its way to
Africa. After the message had been
"caught" In the wax cylinder the
cylinder was placed on transcribing
machine and then run so slowly that
the mysterious dots and dashes could
be taken with ease. Later, the mes
sage was decided and Its secret known
by the allies The knowledge derived
from this operators experiment is now

sages from Europe to America.

his life for a country in which he had
never known a mothers love or a

does not know just where her son Is
buried, weeps over the grave of the
unknown soldier, thinking that per-

the boy who has always been uD-
known there are no mourners.
A tiny bundle Of humanity was
picked up in a Baltimore street some
twenty years ago; it was baby boy.
When after thorough search, no one
was found who would claim him, he
was taken to be reared by two BROTH
ers, who gave him the name Of Ed
ward John Evangelist Smith. When
he was old enough, they sent him
to Mount Saint Mary's school to be
educated. In 1917, before the boys
education was finished, Marine re-
cruiting officer visited Mount Saint
Marys. His story of the country's
need for men caused Smith" as he
had come to be known, to enlist. He
went overseas and took part in every
engagement In which the Fifth regi-
ment of marines participated. On the
morning on which the armistice was

restlessly against the piles; why, man

know the little blues are runnin' now
and every man that can heave line

Raymond looked wistfully at the
bright blue water rippled by the fresh
breeze. Off by the breakwater he
could see dozen small boats bobbing
about.

YES" agreed the city man; "must
be pretty good if can't hire any kind
of boat. Say, there's pretty little
craft-the yawl yonder" He pointed
to a small boat that had shot up to
the landing steps. A slim boyish form
was fussing over line flung ashore
and caught by small boy.
That's Captain Jemmy-might take
you out for spell-go and ask, son ~
He chuckled as Dick Raymond hurried
down the pier toward the boat. When
he reached the step he leaned over
and hailed the boat.

SEPTEMBER BUSY MONTH
FOR THE COUNTY AGENTS
Agricultural Specialists Managed or
Helped Conduct AZ Fairs and
Exhibits la this State

The month of September was busy
month for county agents in Montana,
according to the summaries In the
hands of the county agent leader at
the State College at Bozeman. County
agents managed or actively helped in
the management Of At fairs and agri-
cultural exhibits in Montana during
the month. The number Of demon
strators exhibiting totalled $50.
Although the work of getting agri-
cultural exhibits for the fairs was a
heavy Job In September, we find that
this work was only small part Of the
total of county agent work in Montana
that month. The agents held 45 meet
ings of extension committees or of
project and local leaders, with an at
tendance Of more than 300 leaders
reported. There were 206 separate
conferences with project leaders and
almost as many conferences with dem
constructors. There were 115 meetings
held at demonstrations, with an attend
ance exceeding 750. 1t Is to be remem-
bered that this work was handled by
% men working In agricultural work
In the state.
One part of the months work was
the training of "a demonstration teams
Of boys and girls to take part In local,
county and state demonstrations and
contests. These teams in some instan-
ces woe mention and notice outside
Of the state.
The great work Of county agents in
Montana In 1922 will be reviewed at
the State College at Bossman the first
week of January when county agricui-
tural agents, home Demonstration =
gents and club leaders meet for the |
annual Extension Service conference.
It Is believed that the accomplishments
II the county agents in Montana this
past year will compare with the best
agricultural agent work Of the nation.
