Five years ago, one Montana range
that served about 20 stockmen had al
most that many kinds of beef stock.
their calves were piebald, mongrel
brutes that always brought the bottom
prices-where there were any calves
to sell. Then the ranchers got to-
gether, bougha several carloads of
pedigreed Hereford bulls, and sold off
or shot the other breeding stock. The
result has been 100 per cent increase
in the calf crop; 100 per cent increase
in the finished steer price; and the ran
cheers need no laws to make them mon
ey. The plan of standardizing fruit,
grain, livestock or poultry production
for any locality, is the road to fnan-
cial salvation.

The progress and growth of every
community is marked by milestones.
One was marked in the growth of
White Bluffs few months ago when
the White Bluffs Drug company in
stalled the first electric sign in town.
The Spokesman records another this
week by carrying a full page ad for
the Valley Grocery. This is the first
time in the life of this newspaper that
full page has been used by local
business house. The public is learn
ing to depend more and more on
newspaper advertising as guide to
economical and satisfactory buying
and those concerns who use the news
papers to tell the public of their
goods, service and prices will gener-
ally be found enjoying heslthy bust
ness. This community, while showing
steady growth for the last few
years, probably has mot. reached a
point where it would Justify any local
house in carrying; page ads every
week. But the folks here are Just as
careful buyers and are just as inter-
ested in quality, service and price as
the residents of larger communities,
and merchants who fail to cater to
this demand are passing up an oppor-
tunity for business.
Between FIVE hundred and one thou
sand lepers are still at large in the
United tSates, although few people in
this country other than physicians, ever
see case, according to DR.. Paul A.
Turner, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health. Except the disease
be in its last stages, the average per-
son would never recognize it. Lepers
have been known to live in communi-
ties for years and are only discovered
to be such when applying for treat
ment for some other condition.
Recently three lepers have been dis
charged from the National Leprosar-
ium at Carville, La, as having now no
manifestations of the disease. To all
intents and purposes they have been
cured, although the physician merely
ccrtifies that the disease has been ar
rested and that these persons are nc

To make a trip from South Da-

pear which is blight resistant and
hardy to climates similar to those OF

states of the United States was the

College, who is known over the west.

The seed of the pears obtained by
him in Manchuria will first be de.
veloped in South Dakota, and ulti-
mately will be developed In other
states. DR.. Hansen says he worked
out the extreme western and north
ern limits of the native pear almost
to annie, and selected 1000 pounds
Of fruit, from which he obtained
sixty-seven pounds of seed for use in
starting orchards in South Dakota.
The new pear, the seeds of which
are expected to revolutionize pear
growing in South Dakota and other
northern states of America, is found
growing wild in the mountain coun-
try Of Manchuria, and is of large size
and quite delectable. The fruit Is all
collected by the natives of the coun-
try and used by them for food. The
natives have cut all the timber in the
country. Professor Hansen reports,
but they leave the pear trees. The
pears are blight resistant, unlike the

United States and as the climate in
northern Manchuria is similar to that
