Under One Roof

Under One Roof
The ample dimensions of the Coli
scum (5Ox140) were just right to
house all features of the annual
agricultural classic. A space about
25 by so feet was partitioned off at
the east end for lecture and picture
room. Through the longer dimension
of the big room three great ga"
shaped corn racks were built, each
about feet high and 8 feet wide.
The middle rack was shorter than the
other two nearly half to allow room
for the flat top tables that held the
grain, seed and "spud" displays.
The spare space at the sides and
corners was we'll utilized by appro-
pirate side shows of various kinds
and the walls were decorated with
slogan covered placards, unique ex-
hibits, cartoons, grading demonstra-
tions, results of variety tests, humid
reds of free bulletins, etc. In one cor
ner there was big barberry bush,
with pictures, literature, rusted wheat
stems, high powered microscope to
show the real black rust breeding
spores right off the rusted stems and
a government specialist to tell you all
about it.
Pictures and Talks
The afternoon and evening pro-
grams held the closest attention of
about all who could get into the room.
There was wide variety in the films
shown, covering the related subjects
of corn, dairying, silos, sheep, hogs,
harvesting methods and many others
including comedies for the boys and
girls.
Nationally noted speakers including
]. G. Haney, DR.. Daniel E. Willard
and I. D. O'Donnell gave highly in
teresting talks on vital topics.
The corn display was estimated to
total not less than $4,000 ears. In
the grain and grass division there
were hundreds of samples of gallon
or more each.
The greatest lack of the show was
people to see these wonderful proofs
of what was done this year in Mon
tana. The sudden cold wave and the
partial closing of the river reduced
the attendance. But for all that
about 5000 people have visited the
show.
1t is impossible to tell the whole
story or give the full list of prize
winners this week.

RANCH GROWS LILACS
AS WELL AS CORN

C. M. Peterson came from his
ranch southwest of Nashua Wednes-
day to visit the corn show and enter
some exhibits. Mr.. Peterson is re-
puted to be one of the best farmers
in his community and has one of the
most beautiful farmsteads and best
improved farms in this part of the
state. He is himself very modest
about telling of his farm achieve
ments but local acquaintances des-
cribe his place as unusually attrac-
tive through his success with orna-
mental shrubs. He has made a spec
ialtv of lilacs of which he has about
700 growing on his premises, all
thriving and giving most attractive
effect to his place in the summer
time. Mr.. Peterson had very fine
crop this year, some of his wheat
yielding AZ bushels to the acre and
his oats 81. Mr.. Peterson says he
as a small ranch of only 400 acres.
He has grown corn for 16 years and
during that time has had but three
failures or partial failures.

GOLD CROWN, FLOUR OF
MONTANA, Home PRODUCT

Have you eaten bread made by
Nicely and Neely, at the Wolf Point
mill out of Montana's famous wheat?
If not you have missed something
good. Numerous housewives who
are among the best cooks in the
community have tried this new Wolf
Point product with great success.
"Gold Crown flour of Montana
makes wonderful bread, rolls or bis
cults which are tender, light, white,
sweet and nutritious. All this flour
lacks to make it famous is widely
advertised name. 1t could be put in
sacks bearing one Of these famous
names and become even more highly
praised by users than it is now.
The reason for the goodness of
Wolf Point flour is two fold. M. M.
Neely is an expert miller of life long
experience. He has made flour in
some of the biggest mills Of the coun-
try-he knows the business from A
to 2. And he has the very best mill
ing wheat known to the world to grind
in first class, well equipped little
mill Give the new flour trial, the
proof of the pudding is in the eating.
Mr.. Neely and his sons recently
bought the plant Of John Listerud and
they are here to stay They have set
about in a quiet and businesslike
manner that will be a credit to the
city and community. Mr. Nicely is
millright as we'll as miller and has
made many improvements in the
mill. A home institution that is
building the community deserves the
patronage of the community. Let's
buy home products, especially when
they are good, and thereby keep more
of our money at home.

some CHOICE EXHIBITS
PURE BRED HOG SHOW

The first attempt ever made here at
an exhibit Of pure bred hogs was
held in connection with the corn
show What the exhibits lacked in
numbers was made up in quality.
Duroc Jerseys were in the majority
by considerable There was no op-
portunity to learn either the names of
the exhibitors or the prize winers
for this issue. A private sale is to
be held Friday afternoon.
1t is hoped that an exhibit of this
kind may be made an annual feature.
Ideal quarters were easily prepared
at the old Home Lumber yard.

pated in the corn judging contest held
at the corn show Thursday. Roose-
welt county had two teams, one of
them coming from the Indian school
at Poplar

up of Delmar Leeson, Loren Piercy
and Wilmar Burnison won first place
by rather decisive margin over
Phillips and Valley who were second
and third respectively. Three va
rieties of corn, Yellow dent Northwest
ern dent and white flint were judged
by each member of each team. Six
hundred was the perfect score for an
individual on the three varieties, so
a perfect score by a team of three
would be represented by 1900.
Team Scores
Roosevelt, 1915.
2nd-Phillips, 1885.
3rd-Valley, 1927.
4th-Roosevelt Indian team, 978.

Everett Boucher of the Valley
team and Delmar Leeson of Roose-
velt tied for the best individual total
on the three varieties judged at 529

While young Boucher had bit the
more consistent scores on the three
varieties young Leeson was the only
boy among all those in the contest
who made a perfect score on any
variety, being credited with a plump
200 on Northwestern dent He is a
son of County Commissioner Geo.

The Glasgow Game

The Wolf Point team, playing un-
der considerable handicap on ac-
count of the loss of Captain Cusker,
lost to Glasgow in their last game of
the season by 21-13. The first
half ended in a 90 score. Wolf
Points playing was marred by con
stant fumbling Our speedy back
field seemed to be able to gain at
will, but several costly fumbles with
in the ten yard line lost extra touch
downs for US. Buddy Smith put over
a touchdown in the early part of the
second half making the score 60 for
Wolf Point Then Glasgow got the
breaks and scored three touchdowns
in rapid succession, two by inter
cepting Wolf Point passes and one on
a tumble by Buddy Smith. The boys
all put up a fight and although beat
en- on the scoring end outplayed their
Glasgow rivals except in the critical
moments. Dean Swanson who was
new in the backfield did some good
line plunging but lack of practice in
handling the ball caused fewer
scores.

.AXE-MAN MILTON
 ON TRIAL. TODAY
Slayer To Plead Insanity !; Edwards Case Opens
 Tuesday

Trial of John Milton, confessed negro axe man, on charges of murdering eight months old Maedron Collins, and at tempting to assault the babys mother, is scheduled to start before Judge Will liam F. Fort of the criminal division of the circuit court, at 10 o'clock Mon- day morning. !,
 After the crimes were committed four months ago Milton disappeared and was returned to Birmingham about five weeks ago by Chief Deputy Sher- if Henry s. Hill. from Ravenna, Ohio, after a nationwide hunt, and before he was locked in the jail, Milton is said to have confessed to Mir. Hill. At that time, he asserted his willingness to plead guilty, but when arraigned be- fore Fort q week ago he asserted his intention of pleading insanity.
 After investigation, Solicitor Davis has declared he is of the opinion that Milton is entirely sane and the case is expected to be finished late Monday afternoon. Besides Dr. B. l.. Wymen, ho was appointed by Judge Fort to ex- anime the negro, there are to be very few other witnesses.
 The second case to be heard on the capital week docket will be the in- dictment of first degree murder against Robert Dewey Edwards, who is alleged to have killed his 1S-year-old sweet heart, Miss Inogene Lee, in Capitol Park last summer. Miss Lee is said to have refused to accept Edward's s proposal of marriage.
 This case is scheduled to start Tues day morning and is expected to resolve itself into battle of alienists, last ing most of the week. Fred H. Wood. ard, Edwards attorney, is making plans to build up strong plea of | insanity for his client and has an. nounced that Edwards fomer wife may testify in his behalf.
 Dr. B. L. Wymen and Dr. Faulk assistant superintendent of the state insane hospital at Tuscaloosa, have been appointed by Judge Fort to ex anime Edwards, while MT. Woodland has retained Dr. H. s. Ward.
 Besides these two, there are 19 other cases on the weeks docket, which is the heaviest of any capital week during the year.
