LUNCH SERVED AT NOON.

The Agriculture department of the
Great Northern Railway is holding
a series Of dairy meetings throughout
Montana, and they are giving away
one carlod of Purebred Holstein
bulls, brought from the Carnation
Farm which has the best herd of Hol-
stems in the United States. One will
be given away in Sheridan County at
the Meeting October 9th. The COM
munities and individuals present will
have a chance to draw for the animal,
and the luckey one will take a pure
bred Holstein bull, with exceptional
breeding, home with him. 1t is de-
sirous to place the bull in a good dairy
community and at a place where he
will be well taken care of.
The meeting will start at 1920 in
the forenoon at the opera house, the
Commercial Club will serve free lunch
at noon, and after lunch there will be
inspection of the carload of bulls
brought along for exhibition and the
drawing will take place.
The forenoon program will consist
of talks on dairying by dairy author

Ray White, the local depot agent, is

Reserve and while there Sen. Taylor
and another man overlook me on their
way to Plentywood. l told Taylor
that l was on my way to PlentyWood
to decline the endorsement as repre-
sentative for the reason that my
health was not good and had not been
for some time and that | had so
many other things to tend to that l
could not possibly accept. Sen. Tay-
lor urged me to run for representa-
tive and encouraged me to remain on
the ticket. I advised him that |
could not possibly do it-nOt that |
felt that the Farmer-LabOr party
could not elect me-but that my
health was so uncertain. With some
further words about divers matters, /
went back to Homestead.
I had not the slightest idea about
who the Executive committee would
secure in. my place and the name of
Bob Larson was never mentioned to
me. It was my understanding and
the understanding of all of the other
delegates with whom I talked after
the Farmer-LabOr convention that
they were entirely satisfied with the
endorsements as made at that conven-
ton in July. Personally I was well
pleased with the outcome and I in
tend to support every enc Of them. 1t
was with regret that I had to decline
the endorsement on account Of my
health, and not at the request of Tay-
lor or anybody else.
I request that you print this letter
in order that the public may learn
the truth.

TRYING TO SET
MARK FOR l83,
l22 inch CARS
Expects to Do Around
140 Miles in 1873
Inch Car
By United pres- Leased vice

LOS ANGELES, April 4.-Tom-
my Milton, holder of the. world 3
straighway mile record as recogniz-
ed by the American Automobile As
aopa to estn biish world
marks for 1873 and 122 cubic. inch
cars t, day on the Dry Lake at Mu-
roc me 35 miles from Lancaster.
The cars Milton will drive are
Miller Specials, built in Los Ange-
les by Harry A. Miller.
1t is expected that the speed
king s time with his 183 inch car
will be 14O miles an hour Or bet
ter. In practicing over the mile
course Monday afternoon and yes
terday Milton averaged 1873 miles
and hour. However, as he was
caught by stop watches and as he
was blown off the course by the
wind other drivcas consider khis
time was a trifle slow.
The speed attempts Tommy Milton
will be officially timed by repre-
sentatives of the. contest board of
the American Automobile Associa-
ton, which organization has final
ly sanctioned his try and as con-
sequence will recognize his marks
as d record.
In commenting on his proposed
performance Milton said yesterday:
"The speeds make with my
cars will not break any records,
but instead, will set up mile straight
away marks as no one has ever
taken 1873 and 122 inch cars out for
such marks rs I will 30 after. Meth
er should they be confused with my

ord of 1864 miles an hour set in
1920. That was for cars Of unlimit-
ed piston displacement, whereas the
new affair is for 1873 IS and 1922.

an hour in my 1873 inch ear. How

Washington and Chicago teams of

Flip Coin and
You Have 1t
by United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, April 4.-About
the best way to dope the outcome
of the Southern California intercol-
legiate conference track meet to-
morrow would be to- flip a coin,
calling Pomona for one side and
Occidental for the other. The ele-
ment of chance will enter about
that strongly into the determining
of the final score.
The presence of at least three
strong men on the California tech
team, makes forecasting the result
still more doubtful than in the Po-
mona Occidental dual meet. several
weeks ago. The Technicians have
Charley Graham, Holly Moyse and
Fred Groat, all of whom are expect
ed to make a strong bid for points.
While they are not conceded a
chance to make enough to win the
meet for their school, they bid fair
to be thorns in the side OF both
Occidental and Pomona. -

SHIP BOARD SUED
BY new YORK FIRM
$93, ,329 Asked for Upkeep Of
Chartered Vessels and Alleged
Breach of Contract.

Callaghan, Atkinson g. Co., Inc, IT
Battery place, New York city, today
filed suit in the District Supreme Court
to recover $93,329.5s from the United
States Shipping Board Emergency
Fleet Corporation for alleged breach
of contract and for expenses to which
the plaintiff was subjected in pro-
tecting ships and other property Of
the government.
Through Attorneys Chamberlin &
Smith, Edward d. Freeman and G. l..
Munter, the plaintiff tells the court
it is engaged in the business of own
ing, managing and chartering Of
steamships, and made a contract with
the Fleet Corportafonf for the operating
and managing of eleven vessels. From
time to time the plaintiff was called
on by the government agency to per-
form certain duties for\the protection
and repair of the vessels, and at other
times action had to be taken at once
without time to secure permission or
special request.
The claim is also made that certain
officials of the Fleet Corporation prom
fsed to allocate to the plaintiff at it's
Norfolk, Va, agency enough vessels
to meet the expenses of continuing
the agency at that point after the
company had decided to discontinue
il. These alleged promises were not
kept, it is claimed, to the great det-
riment of the plaintiff.
