MONTANA MILL OFFERS
CASH FOR BEST WHEAT

Six cash prizes amounting to $185
are offered to growers of the best
hard spring milling wheat in Montana
shown at the Montana State fair Sep
TENDER 1927, by the Montana Flour
Mills company of Lewistown. Records
of the federal grain inspection offices
show that Montana produces more
spring wheat of a superior milling
grade than any other state, so the
state fair management expects this
contest for the best bushel of Mar
quis wheat, to bring out in competition,
the best spring wheat in the United
States, 1924 crop.
First prize is $50; second, $40; third,
$50; fourth, $25; fifth, $40; sixth, $40.
Exhibits must be received in Helena on
or before Sept. 10, in order that an
alysis of the lots may be made, and
the winners announced during State
fair week.
In the 1923 spring wheat contest,
Neil Brothers of Windham, Judith
Basin county, placed first J. R. Jones
of Pendroy, Teton county, second; T.
Fl. Tow of Big Sandy, Chouteau coun-
ty, third; Walter Kraft of Bozeman,
Gallatin county, fourth, and @. 1. Gus
tafson, of Corvallis, Ravalli county,
fifth.
This contest does not turn on exter-
nails of wheat, but is settled by the
best milling qualities, on the following
basis. All samples to be considered,
have test weight of So pounds.
The percentage weightings follow:
z; test weight, 10; grade, 10;
yield flour, 10; dry gluten, 2; quality

Drawback TO Affection
Inspired by a Horse

| am not, as | say, sentimental about
horses; | have never yet seen a man a
horse liked as well as a nice bundle OF
hay, writes Guy Struthers Burt in the
Saturday Evening Post. But on the
other hand, if you have ridden one
horse a lot Inc know all his little ways
and he knows all yours, and if you
have ridden many lonely and some
times dark miles with him, after a
while you begin to cherish an affection
for him against your better sense.
There's a sweet, warm, companion
able feeling to the ripping muscles OF
his neck when you put your bare hand
against them on a pitch-black deserted
trail, almost, although not quite so
much company as you get out of a dog
in camp. And as for Joe, If you miss
the trail ia the dark and try to turn
off it he will do his best to buck with
you.
There's one thing about being with
such shOrt-lived things as horses and
dogs that isn't pleasant. You under
stand what age is too soon. Here is
Joe getting old-and he's sixteen. You
get too much an impression of the
flight of time. A wise man should
keep an elephant and always feel
young.

Right and Left Hands

1t is a fact not generally known that
the fingers of the right hand move
much more quickly than those of the
left. They are also much more ac-
curate, says London Tit-Bits.
Recent experiments have also proved
that the ring finger of the left hand
can work more quickly if it is moving
in conjunction with the right-hand
forefinger. Any two fingers working
together, indeed, move considerably
faster than n finger working by it.
self.
The more a person uses his or her
fingers, the more adept they become. A
pianist or typist will find that, in timA
the left hand becomes almost as skill.

Have You This Habit?
by Margaret Morrison
APPRECIATION

THE most vivid remembrance OF
Adam Everyman's childhood was
the melancholy occasion, the climax OF
many other such occasions, on which
MS mother, breaking down and weep
Ing, had expressed the resentment of
years of married life as she cried to
his father, eff you only didn't always
lake things for granted p
When Adam grew up he promised
himself that at least he would never
give his wife that cause for bitterness.
So during his early married life he
made a point of seeing and appreciat-
ing her efforts and sacrifices.
The years passed. When the eldest
of their three children was fifteen.
Adam realized that their actual in
come, though ample, was not equal to
the income he had planned for this
point when contemplating matrimony.
Then n evening he pursued what
now was his custom, and retired i'm
mediately after dinner with his news
paper and his cigar to the room that
was called his "den." Contrary to
custom his wife followed him. Then
he knew suddenly how much water
had flowed under the bridge since they
had been married. For to her new
dress that she had made herself. and
to the fact that this was the anniver-
sary of their wedding-to all this he
had been DULY blind. He asked him
self If a little appreciation might not
help all round.
The next morning at the office Adam
found his best salesman waiting for
him. He made a point Of mentioning
an intelligent piece of business of the
preceding month. The man looked
pleased, but 1t was only later that
Adam learned that this expression of
appreciation had actually Influenced
the ma not to accept the offer of a
from another firm. That same
day Adam took pains to thank a Gus
toner for prompt payments, and the
next morning a new order came in the
mail. On another evening at home his
boy brought in a good report
rom school. When Adam put his
into words his son looked sur
0rised, but the next month there was
| better report still. He became con-
'cious above all of what life would
been to him without his home,
md of the impossibility of his home
without his wife's dull daily routine.
after that there was no question Of
lis appreciation, and with appreciation
t seemed as if a miracle had hap
'ened-so stimulating and successful

leasant possibilities his family. l

HOW THE WHEAT TARIFF WILL OPERATE

Notwithstanding a number Of editorials have been published
in Montana newspapers, all but three of which are known as the
interviewing press" tending to create a doubt in the minds of the
farmers as to the efficacy of the recent act of President Calvin
Coolidge in Orde: ng, by proclamation under the provisions of the
last tariff act, an increase of II cents a bushel on wheat entering
the United States, bringing the total duty up to AZ cents per
buShel, not one of the editorial writer's have given even one slight
ly valid reason why the increase, which goes into effect within the
next few weeks, Will not result il a betterment of general wheat
farming conditions Throughout ( Z United States.
Argument on the subject hinges on the rebate which is al
lowed on wheat which comes to the States to be miled, and which
is then re-shipped by boat to European ports. american miIers
claim the country gets the benefit of the extra 7 il feed that re-
suits IN the American milling of the grain. Administration Of
fcals contend that tn: local wheat markets will not be adversely
affected, and that if the duty is set at too high an economic figure.
the Canadian producers will INSIST upon the grain being miled in
Canada and shipped direct from that country to Europe, thus de-
privng American milers of their present milling profit, and
robbng American rail and water transportation companies of the
revenue they are now derivinG !. IN the transportation of the i'm
ported wheat and the exported Hour.
AS the Great Falls Tribune, Democratic, recently said: 1.-THE
farmers and growers of wheat generally favored this change in
the tariff law, and a few weeks or months will determine what.
J anything, they will gain by the change"
Inc people should not be fooled by speeous arguments. The
Democratic press continues to be the greatest disseminators OF
doubt and distrust."

FRUIT OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CONTROL

This congress has been in session four months. It has not
passed any major legislation. 1t has passed but one appropriation
bill. It has not enacted any laws to relieve the agricultural situa-
ton. 1t has not enacted a tax reduction law. With the exception
of a few private bills it has done nothing in the way of legislation.
1t has not even proposed or advanced any constructive pro-
gram. On the other hand, it has blocked the program outlined by
President Coolidge in his message to congress in December.
1t has sought to create political sensations rather than enact
laws.
It has usuped the powers of the courts and grand iuries and
made a mockery of them rather than perform its functions of a
Legislative body.
1t has retaied SANDER and gossip rather than discussed eco
nOmic problems. s
balyhooing. On the part of the senate it has been a rather low
type Of vaudeville in which Heflin, Caraway, Harrison and other
yOwlers held the stage and monopoized the spotlight.
The blame for all this does not rest with Republicans. They
are not in control of either branch of the congress. Test votes
in both the house and the senate clearly show that the radical
Democratic combination is in control of both branches of congress.
The fact that this combination is in control of both branches of
congress proves that it could put over a legislative program had
it the desire to do so.
This should be of especial significance to the agricultural sec
tions of the country, where the need of relief of some kind is
very urgent. Democratic and radical members of congress elected
in 1922 made their campaign upon the ground that they wanted
to go to congress to help the farmer. Those who were Ioudest
in their promises to this effect have been the least concerned to
redeem them. They hav enot made any effort to carry out their
pledges.
The radical senator's and representatives elected from agricul-
tural sections have spent their time since coming to congress revel-
ing in political gossip, all of it untrue, most of it mischievous, and
some of it malicious and slanderous.
They have resolved themselves into amateur Hawkshaws to
unravel mythical vilanies which never existed except in the per-
verted minds of ex-convcts, cheap liars and blackmaners, and
vengeful individuals smarting under criminal indictments in fed
eraI courts.
The things done and the things left undone by this congress
must be charged directly and solely to the radical-Democratic com
bnatlon, which was effected early in the session in both houses
over the protest and the opposition of Republican leadership and
membership.
The whole situation should forcibly remind the country Of
the necessity for a legislative body which has a dependable and
reliable Republican majority to cooperate with the Republi
can administration in carrying out a consistent program of legis
lation which is dictated by commons sense, honest motives, and thu
fundamentals of political economy.

Mr.. Buckby, on the opening night,
took occasion, from the proscenium,
to thank the audience for their gen

appreciation of the student body for
the fine and arduous work Of direc-
ton of George c. Davenport, as stage
manager; Mrs. Camille Keister, as
dancing instructor, and Mrs. Emma

and instrumental music. Mr.. Daven-
