MORTON SISTERS BIG

The interest and attendance con-
tinue to grow nightly at the "Old

church people were in large attend
ance; also scores from all over the

expected next Sunday night.
In honor OF Mothers Day the Sun

QUEER METHOD OF JUDGING

The bungling of the judging on the
first night of the rhetorical contest at
Montrose, was most unfortunate, not
alone for the contestants, but for the
schools concerned, and much criti4
cism, and well founded criticism, too,
has arisen.
Immediately after the argumenta-
tion contest Thursday evening the
judges announced that first place had
been taken by ROLAND Smethurst of
Cedaredge, Grand Junction second and
Montrose third. The Cedaredge lad
was showered with congratulations
from his many friends, and for two
days was declared the winner.
On Saturday evening two days later,
when the decision had been heralded
all over the slope, both orally, and
through the press. and the winner had
remained in Montrose to receive his
medal, it was announced that a mis-
take" in figuring points had been
made and that ON reconsidering the
scores 1t was found that first place
should have been given to Grand juno
tiOi hiAi Lllli VI " Ntudl
Inasmuch as no one, so far as is
known, had heretofore questioned the
fairness of the decision, a storm of
protest has arisen, not alone from
Cedaredge, but from every fair mind
ed individual.
The students entered in good faith,
not dreaming that school enrolment
financial standing, or anything but
individual ability would be considered
Such a situation is not uplifting for
the morals of impressionable students
of the average age of our high school
pupils.
But perhaps Cedaredge can better
afford to lose honor under such cir
cumstances, than the Judges" can
afford to lose the confidence and re-
spect imposed in their ability and
willingness to be four square.

GRADE SPECIALIST TALKS
ON LOCAL CONDITIONS

w. H. Sampson, Grade Specialist, Of
the Bureau of Agricultural Economics,
held a meeting at the Court House
Wednesday evening, which was attend
ed by growers and others interested.
Mr.. Sampson spoke Of the work per-
tanning to inspection of onions. He
said that standardization, il establish
ed, would help to do away with some
OF the growers who had used sharp
practices in disposing of agricultural
products; that while at the start this
work was questioned as to merits and
soundness, there were many dealers
who had been operating privately and
government inspection exclusively.
Government grading of cotton, he
said, is now accepted as a standard
abroad. Government inspection is not
necessary, yet 1t is found by many to
be an advantage.
Mr.. e. F. McKune, of the state de-
partment OF Agriculture, told of the
work which is being conducted on
joint basis by the state agricultural
college and the federal government.
He said 2,4OO cars were shipped
from Delta district last season carry
ing inspection, and 10,400 cars were
in the state, while probably 200 more
cars existed which would be shipped
and would come under the inspection.
Up to April /, he said the department
was &c per car better than self-sustain.

COOLIDGE AND BUSINESS

Considered from the standpoint Of
American business the frank, conf.
dent, cryptic and unrhetorical address
of President Coolidge to American
newspapermen in New York recently
was reassuring. 1t took into consider
alton the situation as it is today-a
natural sequence OF the "lust for
profits that the war 'engendered' a
hangover, 80 TO speak, OF sordidness
which 1t was inevitable should seep
from commercial life into the affairs
of government.
Fundamentally America is sound" +"
the President declared. The disposi-
tion to uproot guilt and administer
punishment wherever competent evil
dence can be produced is essentially
a healthy symptom. No more sound
principle of good business either in
government or in industry could be
enunciated that that "at present our
country does not need a greater out
lay Of expense, but greater applica-
tion of constructive economy" partic-
ularly in view OF the orgie which car.

Coolidge's address was a sound declar-

ance that things are not as bad as
they have been painted-a guarantee
that a conscientious effort is being
made TO rur the greatest OF all bust

MOTHERS DAY

All over our wide country, from
coast to coast, from gulf to Dominion
line, there will be Sunday, May IL,
one great common thought-Muther
There is no other subject in the
world on which a nation-or indeed
the whole world-couId meet on COM
mon ground but this one of Mother
Love. At its shrine Sunday everyone
of us will worship, in reality or mem
cry.
We can do nothing too good for the
mothers who are living, nor can we
pay tribute too fine to the mothers
who are dead. Now, as never before,
the nation needs the influence of moth
ers, mothers of broad sympathy, fine
understanding, and deep discrimina-
ton. Mothers Day will be celebrat-
ed all over the world. wherever sons
and daughters are. The occasion is
too sacred for platitudes, for its real
significance goes deeper than words.
Mothers are not honored by eulogies.
but by the actions which speak louder
than any words that lips can utter.
ic nlllIe SSti LsbIlOLl, oil tlllDltlH VI
the purity, beauty, fidelity and peace
of mothers love, is the memory flow
er, but observance of the day has be-
come so general that the supply is
not sufficient, and an official edict
has been issued allowing the use of
carnations of all shades, and permit
ting the use of roses, sweet peas, etc.
Make Mothers Day a perfect day
If living, shower her with tokens of
eciation-flowers, books, letters,
caresses. These are hers by right;
she has earned them and much more
besides. If perchance her earthly
life be ended, then in some impressive
way cherish and glorify her memory.
Keep Sunday, May II, as a high and
holy day, gratefully, joyfully,- spirit
ually! 1t is Mothers Day

CORPORATION DEPOSITS
LARGE SUMS IN MONTANA

five million dollars have been de-
posted in many banks in Montana by
the Agricultural Credit corporation,
according TO Sam Stephenson Of the
First National bank, OF Great Falls,
who added that none of these funds
have been deposited in Great EAlls
banks for the reason that, there has
been no need of them. The corpora
tion has also loaned nearly $1,000 900
in Montana already. 1t has deposited
nearly s5o,ooo,o0o In banks in VIM
tana, North Dakota, Minnesota, South
Dakota and Iowa.
Funds which the corporation has
placed with Montana banks run intn
greater total thsn received by any
other state" said MIR. Stephenson.
THAT is situation which indicates
the confidence esstern fiSancial men
have in Montnns aha the standing the
state has as territory capable Of nro-
ducing wealth. For the most rart,
funds sent to Montana have been
placed in going banking concerrj
which were found to merit cooper
tion but in some important instances
money has been furnished to assist in
the reopening of suspended concerns.I
None of the corporations funds 1--we
been sent to Great Falls banks for
the reason that no banks here l'tvel
been candidates for such accommoda-
tion.
"The corporation still is adhering to
its policy of placing money for the pro-
motion of diversification only in few
localities, none of which are in Mon
tana but If Montana's crops yield as
now indicated, there will be no need
Of outside assistance from any source.
The fact Is that this state Is the bright,
est spot in the agricultural area of the
United States this year. If returns are
received as now seem very probable,
diversification will be amply financed
with home capital produced from the
soil.'

plans formulated at a recent meeting

It is estimated it will take that many

HOME PRODUCT RIVAL
FOR HOOD RIVER BERRY
Polytechnic institute At Billings
Developing New Species OF
Strawberry Plant

Louis T. Eaton of the POLYTECHNIC
institute at Billings, believes that he IS
on the road to the establishment OF the
strawberry industry as one of the big,
permanent additions to the prosperity
of the Yellowstone valley. After ex-
perImenting with 10 different varieties
of strawberries during the last four
years, in an effort to develop berry
that will grow in the Yellowstone val
ley and which will at the same time
rival the Hood river berries of Wash
ington in size, flavor and general ex-
cellence, he has achieved success.
The berry that Mr.. Eaton now be-
lieves holds great future for this Vi
cinity, is cross of several of the va,
rieties with which he has been expert
menting. 1t is a spring berry. as diff
ferentiated from an everbearing vine,
and he has grown them this year to
a size that runs quite uniformly from
an inch to an inch and a half in diam
eter, with a deep, rich color, firm
texture and a flavor that is not sur
passed by the berries of any other
region in the world.
