MON
TANA CORN SHOW

While the dates have not been de-
finitely set for the Northern Mon
tana Corn Show which will be held
at Wolf Point this year, the show
promises to be the best ever held in
this district, and will compare favor
ably with any State Corn Show of
Montana.
The addition Of both ribbons and
larger cash prizes in every class will
be an additional stimulus to corn
farmers to exhibit at this show. The
cash prizes in all corn classes have
been trebled, and ribbons will be Civ
en- to the first ten places rather than
the first four places, which has been
the previous custom. There are also
number Of other features that will
be added to the 1924 show in the
way Of special prizes. The First Ma
tional Bank Of st. Paul is Offering a
large silver cup. valued at $25 which
will be given to the sweepstakes
winner in the 100 ear class. The
boys corn club members will also be
given an opportunity to compete for
a sweepstakes cup Of their own, which
is a beautiful bronze cup twelve
inches high, valued at $40, given to
the corn show by the same company.
The following newspapers and farm
papers are offering subscriptions to
their magazines and papers as spe-
cial prizes: The Dairy Farmer; The
Montana Farmer; Montana Record
Herald; Dakota Farmer; the Farmer,
and the Farm Journal. These sub
scriptions vary from one to five
years, and are as valuable as cash
prizes to the winners. Montgomery
Ward & Co. is donating an all-wool
auto robe as a special prize. Other
outside contributors that are helping
to make the corn show a success are:

Redstone Loses An
Extra Inning Game

Redstone Review: The game last
Sunday between Whitehall and Red
stone was played before a good sized
crowd cf interested boosters for both
teams and was exciting all the way
through, and was nobody's game I'M
til the last man was out in the elev-
enth inning. In the last inning our
boys had a chance to even up the
score but were only able to bring
in two runs, leaving the final at 10

JUSTICE In
COOLDGE'S STATE

Massachusetts is Calvin Coolidge's
State. And is is the State Of the Sac
co-Vanzetti case.
Massachusetts is the State where
Coolidge is credited with having sup
pressed a police strike. In Montana
or the Dakotas or almost any other
section of the country that would
have meant his political death. But
in Machusetts it put him in line for
the Presidency.
That makes it easier to understand
why Nicola Sacco and BartOlomeo
Vanzetti are still in the shadow of the
electric chair, despite cumulative
proofs of their innocence.
Massachusetts is "sold" on the pro
tective tariff. 1t is the stronghold Of
the banking interests. 1t is per
mited by a passionate hatred Of "for-
eigners" and Of new ideas. That is
why Sacco and Vanetti are still i'm
prisoned, though witness after wit
ness has confessed perjury.
Massachusetts is the scene of the
Lawrence strikes with their orgies of
police brutality. 1t is the scene Of the
Ettore-Giovannitti case. 1t is a State
Of cheap, exploited, unOrganized labor
in the textile and shoe industries. 1t
is where the Pressmen's strike was
crushed three years ago and the tele-
phone strike last year.
Perhaps that explains why Judge
Webster Thayer-a flower Of New
England aristocracy-has not yet
granted new trial when the whole
world knows that the original tria
was a grim farce.
Massachusetts courts have just sci
free prominent politicians who arc
VIGOROUSLY thick with the worst cri
minal clements in the State. The al
acrity with which their case was dis
posed of bespeaks a praiseworthy dis
patch in the conduct Of judicial bust
ness. But the courts move creakingl!
these many years while Sacco an'
Vanzetti wait for a new deal, a SQUARE
deal.
A progressive wind is abroad. l
has ruffled the complacency Of politi
clans in the Middle West and tn
Northwest. It has scared the politi
clans everywhere but in Massachu
sets. Massachusetts is a politica
privilege. No breath Of progress ca
touch it.
Against this background Of hOples

GATED IN COUNTY,

County Assessor Aspelund closed
his books for 1924 on July 9Th, and
he is we'll pleased with results, altho
the value is less than 1923 this is
easily accounted for. Owing to so
many banks failing, the value Of
bank stocks have deprecated almost
$80,O00.0O, and cash on hand dropped
$25, 100000. and there was $4,000 less
grain reported for taxation this year.
The assessor also cut the value of
stock and dairy COWS $500 a head
this year, and this made cut of ov-
er $40,000.00.

assessed values OF Sheridan county
for 1923 and 1924 is herewith given

ii case is more comprehensive. The
war is at an end elsewhere, but it is
still on in Massachusetts,. It's hatreds

But luckily the Sacco-Vanzetti case

there will be a return of the capital
which took refuge in other countries
while things were going to pieces in
Europe in the years succeeding the
war. Second, there will be invest
ment on a large scale by American
and other foreign capital in Euro
pean. enterprises. What will be the
result in the money and investment
markets? II these movements be-
come sufficiently pronounced, they
should lead to the partial turning
back Of the immense gold surplus
which has been piling up in this
country during the last nine years.
They should cause in this way,
gradual hardening of interest rates
and an accompanying tendency to-
ward lower investment values.
No Immediate Change Expected.
Some good judges, who look a long
distance ahead, have already adopted
an attitude on these lines. But. while
entirely rational and something
which it Is easy to conceive Will work
out, this still remains long-ranse
view. The Secretary of the Treasury
could not have thought such changes
were imminent when he made his
last offer of Treasury certificates at
ga. per cent with years maturity
instead Of a half year like the former
issue.
The banks could not have contem-
plated such changes in the near fu-
ture or they would not have over
subscribed all offering on such 10"
basis Therefore, while the shifting
of investment capital to Il restored
Europe is very compelling, as well as
a very practical idea. il does not rank
as an immediate factor in the mar
ketS.
Eject on Other Countries Doubtful.
If it is By no means clear how Il
newly competing Europe is TO affect
the situation here. the result in other
countries is equally doubtful. The
action Of the French bank this last
week in raising its discount rate
upon security loans to very hiEh
figure of S per cent has called atten-
ton more forcibly to the imitation ex-
listing in France. Her paper note cir
cula ton remains almost up to record
figures. not because of excessive gov
ernment borrowings, but because
merchants and manufacturers have
been doing d constantly increasing
business on a debased currency.
Nothing could be worse for these
business men Of France than a return
of the franc to a pTe-war basis. They
would undoubtedly like to see the
proposition adopted that the parity

BIG EXPORT DEMAND

Corn and Oats Go Along With

Slight.
Bv the Associa ted Press.


CHICAGO. September 13.-Broad
export trade has done much this
week to add a substantial amount to
the value of wheat Compared with
a week ago, prices this morning for
wheat were 5hto 6as higher, with
corn 3ss to Az up. oats at a to 2k
advance. and provisions varying from
II decline to 60 gain.
Decided significance was attached to
the fact that European purchasing
of wheat reached an aggregate of
100000 bushels for the day on which
the Canadian crop estimate was is
sued and the day following. In this
connection, it was pointed out that
the Canadian report, although taking
no account of damage by frost or
otherwise since September /. con-
frmed estimates of greatly reduced
yield as measured by the output in
1928
With other information at hand
pointing to a much smaller worlds
crop than a year ago, the official fig
ures showing enlarged production in
this country failed to act as any great
check to higher prices.
European crop damage advices were
especially effective in giving impetus
to general buying of wheat for other
than export use. Assertions that

doubled of late were cited, and but
little heed was given to news of gem
eral rains in Argentina, where
drought conditions were critical. On
the contrary, more notice was ap-
parently taken of assertions that,
pound for pounG, corn here was 8
cents a busheI dea rer than wheat.
Corn and oats derived their gains
mostly from the wheat advance.
Frosts appeared to have done little
damage.
Provisions moved up with hogs and
grain.
