We are in receipt of an invitation to
attend the conference of the Associa.
ton Against the Prohibition Amend
ment which is to be held in Washing
ton January 21st. We are pleased to
be remembered, but Mortified at the
suggestion contained therein that we
speak at the meeting-a suggestion
that even at this distance gives US a
buck-ague that all but sets our teeth
chattering.
We observe hat a wide range of
professions and interests are repre-
sented in the list of misguided and
besotted persons who have signifed
their intention of attending the con-
ference, among them the following:
Mrs. Gertrude Anterior, writer; w.

railroad; Senator William Gabell
Bruce, of Maryland; Marshall Field,
Chicago; Rear Admiral C. F. Good
rich; Mrs. Minnie Madden Fiske;
Seth Low, banker, New York; Clar-

tary of agriculture; Kermit Roose-
welt; A. B. Spreckels, manufacturer;
Augustus Thomas, playwright; Owen
Wister, author, Philadelphia; Right
Reverend Mgr. C. F. Thomas, Wash

rector, New York; Miss Agnes Rep

. The Indians have proved better
weather prophets than the beaver.
Considerable weight was attached to
the fact that the beaver were reported
to have made little or no preparation
for winter. The Indians, to the con
trary, started hauling wood earlier
than usual and predicted the need of
it. Major Hopes declares he is now
in favor of taking the bounty off bea-
yer and exterminating the liars.
We were at a loss to account for the
peace and quiet which had set
tied upon our little village during the

Someone has said that in their opin-
ion it would be much better if we
could be born rich and successful and
die poor and obscure, for the eason
that when one has attained the things
he has worked for he no longer cares;
the capacity for enjoying the reward
has gone. 1t seems to us there is n
good deal in the idea. Upon a time we
would have jumped for joy to think
we were among the distinguished folk
in Who's Who in America; now that
it has happened we are about as much
thrilled as to see our name in the
-er-Greybull Standard.

AS SEEN FROM WATERMELON
q @,oAne& okhazt 5T r.

We note that MI. Newton pounces
upon an article denouncing rodeos and
roundups found among his exchanges,
and reprints it with his usual gusto
in such cases under the far-fetched
head line: Humane Society May Stop
Cody Stampede" Of course, what
Mr.. Newton really means is that he
would like the humane society to stop
the Cody Stampede, and hopes by Civ
ing publicity to such articles to en-
courage agitation against the Cody
Stampede and bringing this about.
We are very well aware that two
years ago the boast was made by per-
sons of the Newton type and stripe
that "they were going to see that the
Humane Society put a crimp in the
Cody Stampede; that not a steer would
out of the chutes or a horse be
ridden with spurs" This came from
a merchant who probably reaps as
much or more direct benefit from the
Stampede than any n person in
Cody, but who, like MI. Newton and
his dwindling c%oterie, would rather
wreck something in which they had
no part and sacrifice their own and
the towns interests, than to see it sue
coed under the management of some
person or persons for whom they have
a feeling of personal enmity. Mr.. w.
g. Harris of the State Humane So
siety came to the Stampede from
Cheyenne upon the invitation of the
Stampede committee; he came again
this year, and found nothing to con-
denim upon either occasion. If he had,
he would have learned that the man
agement was right with him, for cru
city to animals is something that will
not be tolerated and is specifically so
stated each year upon the program.
A few weeks ago we made mention
of a little business transaction be-
tween our friend Fights-well-known
and ourself. Fights negotiated for a
loan of $3.50 to buy a green and black
plaid shirt which he said he would re-
turn within a couple of weeks. Some
months later, meeting our friend
Fights in Billings, we mentioned the
fact that the loan was a little over
due, w%hereupon he explained that the
repayment had been contingent upon
the death of a relative who was very
sick and was going to leave him his
horses, but as the relative recovered
he could % return the money.
Upon his last visit here he embar-
raised us not a little by producing the
clipping relating the transaction from
some secret place in his blanket. and
showing it to us. He was immensely
tickled, however, and his shoulders
shook as he assured us: "He heap sick
again; ! pay"
Jim Winsor with two bottles of wa
ter colored with coffee in either hip
pocket was a source of considerable
worriment to the three stool-pigeons
who honored the Stampede Ball with
their presence. After following him
around for half an hour one of them
finally asked if he could buy some
whiskey. "Why, yes" said Jim ami
ably, 81 guess so, | didn't have any
trouble in getting this. Where are

"We are hay buyers from Kansas

Collision.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May s.-A heavy fog
hung over New York harbor early
today, tied up shipping, and caused
active anti-rum running precautions
by customs authorities, who sent out
more rum chasers.
The Homeric, with j. P. Morgan
and a number of other notables on
board, dropped anchor off Ambrose
lightship, along with a number of
smaller vessels.
The coast guard cutters Gresham,
from New York, and Kickapoo, from
Cape May, N. J., stood by the steam
ers Clauseus and Mendocino, which
collided twenty miles south of the
lightship late last night and which
sent out distress signals.
Coast guard officers said they had
been informed the damage to the two
ships was above the water line and
that they would be able to proceed
to port with the assistance of the cut
ters as soon as the fog lifted. The
Mendocino. in ballast, was outbound
for Tampico, Mexico, while the

In the toll of formulating these

HEADER BARGE SAVES
MUCH HARVEST LABOR

County Agent Noble has on display
in his office window a model header
barge which has been on display in
a number of communities over the
county, and which has created much
interest wherever it has been shown.
This barge is the result of many
years trial and experience of J. H.
Harrison of Living Springs, Montana,
and G. w. Hart, inventor of the
Hart-Parr tractor, who operates a
large farm near Harlowtown. Mr..
Noble says:
'The reason that there is so much
interest in this apparatus is because
it is a big factor in cutting down the
cost of harvesting. Mr.. Hart and Mr..
Harrison have used these barges for
a number of years and they claim
that with either tractor or horse
power twenty-five acres of wheat can
be headed and stacked in a day with
two men, while it requires at least
six to operate a full size header
crew and achieve the same results
in the same time.
Particularly to farmers who prac-
tice heading grain each year this
barge is very attractive and it is
believed that at least two or three
farmers in Roosevelt county will try
them out this year, and they will
be closely observed by other farmers
who are interested in reducing har-
vesting costs. These header barges
particularly appeal to farmers who
are out a good ways from shipping
points where labor is hard to get and
where is a possibility of crops being

JOINS The HERALD IN
ENDORSING ]. ANDERSON
Contributed BY a Voter

AS election time draws near one
can but draw a breath of anticipa-
ton and look over the list of can
didates. John Anderson has a
splendid record as sheriff. When a
mar is elected to this position he
must necessarily spend considerable
time in getting on to the ropes as
the the expression is. His first
term in office can not be conducive
of the confidence of all that his sec
ond term will be and more especially
if he has given the county the SER
vice that speaks for itself. This is
what John Anderson has done in his
official work of Roosevelt county. He
has been conservative in his dealings
and has saved the county 1 0,153.45.
in costs of conducting his office. He
has stood for economy and has prac-
ticed economy.
This economical saving has never
been made by any other sheriff of
Roosevelt county. Not only this, Mr..
Anderson has a record and in this
record the word graft is not to be
found. Such an official should be
reelected to office without opposi-
ton and many are predicting that he
will be elected, by a handsome ma
The voters should remember that
in casting a vote for Mr.. Anderson
that they are electing a man who
the conditions of Roosevelt
county. A vote for Mr.. Anderson
also shows him that his efforts in
the past term are appreciated. To
any other man but John will be
to discredit his work and show him
that the majority of the taxpayers
do not care for the economy and
square dealing employed during his
term.
Would you change horses in the
of the stream? Then why
should you cast your vote for some
one that cannot show a record of
economy? By all means place a big
TX" before the name of John Ander-
son for Sheriff Of Roosevelt County.

so.

ATTORNEY MARION AT
FROID PICNIC SUNDAY

One of the important events OF
the county last week was the large
picnic held by the Froid community
on the south side of Medicine Lake
last Sunday. The program included
an outline of the purpose of the
community organization by Mr..
Schnitzler, it's president, and a talk
on agricultural conditions and a his
tory of the corn show by Hugh Mar
ron. A full program of sports, in
cluded a tug of war between Co. L,
163rd Infantry, and the Froid Odd
Fellows, the former of which was win
ner: a tug of war between the south
siders and the north siders; a ball
game between Froid and Jack Hur-
ley's team, the Froid team getting
w~alloped, and a sham battle between
the imaginary Sheridan county army
and the armed forces of Roosevelt
county, in which Captain Clar-
ence Olson pulled off a tactical prob
lem that was very spectacular to all
the people gathered. He laid down
a smoke barrage and advanced his
company up under it's cover and cap
tured a stronghold held by the theore-
tical county forces. Another inter
esting feature was the log rolling con-
test and the swimming-races.
Froid community is one of the new
err ones and plans to do some real
constructive work for the farming
community as well as have some very
good times within the next few
months.

lost due to the fact that farmers are
not able to secure help at all. Ano-
Their factor that is very attractive
to the average farmer, especially
the one who does not depend upon
straw for feed, is that the entire
Irvine bill is saved and the cost of
shocking is eliminated.
"The header barge requires a large
tractor or twelve horses to operate.
1t is attached to a twelve or four
teen foot cut header, and it is eigh-
teen feet long, nine feet wide at the
bottom and fourteen feet high. The
headed grain is elevated right into
this barge. One man watches and
tramps the headed grain as it comes
in and also watches the header,
while the other man drives the tractor
or horses, whichever power is used.
AS soon as the barge is filled the
header is stopped, two iron pegs
driven into the rear of the barge.
a trap gate in the rear is opened, a
rope attached to a net is slipped
over the iron pegs, the balance is
such that when the machine is
started the stack slips right out, the
net is resrranged, and the header
barge continues until another stack
is ready to be dumped.
It is believed that with the harvest
.abor problem is becoming more per-
picking each year that such devices
will become more popular and will
necessarily have to be adopted if
grain continues on the same
