GREAT NORTHERN
ADVERTISES MONT.
CORN FROM CHINOOK AND
OTHER SHOWS TAKEN EAST
FOR EXHIBITION

When the Great Northern railway
company was engaged in collecting
corn at the shows held at Great Falls,
Chinook, Miles City and other points
in Montana this fall, the inquiry was
often made, "What is the railroad
going to do with it?"
The question has been answered
in the Minneapolis Tribune of Dec.
Is, which tells about the exhibit of
Montana grown corn in the Great
Northern passenger station in that
city. The story occupies about half
column, and is headed:
Montana Corn Exhibit Shown Fine
Quality.
"Great Northern Has Ears on Dis
play Indicating Result of Eff
forts-State Ready to Take
Place in Belt"
One paragraph of the story reads:
"Corn grown in Northern Montana,
in attitudes even as high as 1920
feet above sea level, is shown in four
large display booths. The ears are
of such character that they would
compare favorably with those in any
corn show in the northwest. The
exhibit is a practical demonstration
that the corn belt is gradually creep
ing northward and westward"
Then follows a more or less COM
plete list Of the winners of prizes at
the Montana shows, including the
boys and girls clubs. Bainville,
Culbertson, Hillcrest, Fort Benton,
Glasgow, Malta, Dodson, Plentywood,
Nashua, Big Sandy, Chouteau and
Great Falls are some of the towns
mentioned as the residence of win
ners.
But the display in the passenger
station of the Great Northern in Min
1eapolis was not the only one. There
vas exhibited 1900 ears at the First
National Bank of st. Paul, for week
md then it was removed to the union
station in that city. Later the ex-
libit will be made at the First Ma
ional bank in Minneapolis.
In addition there is a big display
# Montana grown corn at the Great
Northern exhibit rooms at st. Paul.
This is probably the biggest ad
1ertising Montana has ever had in
with its possibilities as
corn growing state and it answers
he query "What is the Great Nor
hern going to do with all that corn?"
rhe best of it is, it has not cost Mon

PRESIDENT AGGRESSIVE
CONGRESS STILL MILLING

Washington, Jan. 8.-One of the
most interesting revelations of the
week has been the recognition of
Calvin Coolidge as a militant Presi-
dent. Quite unexpectedly, the Chief
Executive has thrown Congress and
political leaders into a furor by def
nitely assuming an aggressive policy
on legislative questions. He has is
sued an ultimatum that has throttled
the hopes of small cliques to make a
patchwork of the Administrations
tax revision plan. The President be-
lieves that Congress will take cogni-
zance of his warning and guard
against tinkering with the tax bill.
In making known the fact that he
will not be intimidated, Mr.. Coolidge
has intimated his willingness to stake
his political existance on the policies
of his administration.
No Bargaining With Blocs
The President is opposed to any
compromise which would change
the principles involved in the Mel
lon tax program. He is of the
opinion that revision of rates and
as proposed in amend
ments now pending would make the
tax bill worthless. The fact that
the President will not bargain with
group leaders in exchange for votes
proved a distinct surprise in many
quarters. 1t is not reasonable. how
ever, to expect that Mr.. Coolidge's
interest in downward revision of
axes along the lines suggested by
Secretary Mellon is entirely altru-

SHIP 3 CARS OF HOGS

Last week Pipal brothers from the
Southside shipped carload of hogs
to Great Falls and were very well
pleased with the returns received.
VIM. Pipal went with the car.
Tonight or tomorrow morning,
two cars of hogs will be shipped
through the Equity elevator to mar
ket at Spokane. This shipment is
composed of hogs brought in by var
ious farmers both north and south
of the river.

COUNTY SEAT DECISION
POSSIBLY NEXT WEEK

There is reason to expect that the
decision in the county seat case will
be rendered within the next ten
days, possibly before the next issue
of The Herald. 1t is said that Judge
Horkan wrote to the Clerk of the
Court of this county on some matter
pertaining to the records of the case,
which is taken as an indication that
the judge is engaged in writing his
decision. Such decisions are often
held up for a year, two years or
more, and if Judge Horkan settles
the matter of where is the perma-
aent county seat of Roosevelt county
so promptly it will be cause for con-
gratulations all around.

istic. His nomination and reelection
are in the balance and he is playing
"good politics" The position taken
by the President is by no means an
attack directed at the Democratic
minority, but rather notice to the
followers of Senator LaFollette that
the Executive will not accept their
dictation.
The House committee on Ways
and Means is making little headway
in solving the dilemma regarding tax
reduction and the soldiers bonus.
Their action is evidently inspired by
pressure from their colleagues in the
House who are concerned over the
economic and political effects of the
proposed legislation. The committee
has deferred the study of tax revis-
ion until a decision is. made regard
ing the feasibility of a compensation
bill for service men at this time.
Partisan Scraps
1t is apparent to the average citi-
zen that Congress has evinced little
interest in enacting helpful and
necessary legislation. A recess of
four days was declared after Con-
gress reconvened for few hours.
It remains for the important COM
of the Senate and House to
provide a working program. Thous-
ands of bills have been dumped into
the legislative hopper but not one
really of note has been reported from
a committee. AS a result of this
procrastination, the two legislative
bodies find themselves with nothing

'ime to indulge in acrimonious,
partisan squabbles which are broad

RESIGNS POSITION

UABLE WORK IN FEB
WRITES LETTER

The letter below, received this
morning from County Agent Dan
Noble, announcing his resignation,
comes as a surprise and the source
of keen regret. Mr. Nobe has prov
en- himself not only earnest, ener-
getic and highly successful in his
work but is man of unusual capa-
city and ability. If Roosevelt coun-
ty secures a man who is his equal
in the important position it will be
very fortunate.
Letter to Editor
January 9, 1924.
Mr. Marshall,
Editor Wolf Point Herald,
Wolf Point, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Marshall
l have rendered my resignation as
county agent of Roosevelt county,
effective February goth, and I wish
to take this opportunity to thank
you for the cooperation and support
you have given this office in conduct
ing the extension program these past
four years. 1t is hoped that you will
do as much for my successor, for
believe that the year 1924 is going
to be the banner year in that respect
for Roosevelt county.
We will be host to the Northern
Montana Corn Show, the largest in
stitution of that nature in the state,
and one that has had national atten-
ion these past two years, and one
that will do more in bringing this
county and its advantages before the
eyes of the world than anything that
has and will be done for a number
of years. Already plans are being
made to get hand-picked eastern peo-
pie to attend this show.

Dies When Success
Is Within Her Grasp

San Jose, Cal.-Drlven by fear that
she had failed in her final examina'
tions, pretty Miss Ina Sarah Lutz,
twenty -one-year-old student of the
State Teachers college, shot herself
in the head and died, while letter
telling she had passed her examina-
tions was in the postman's bag.
The girl had failed one examine
ton last winter, after she had been
attending the college for two and a
half years. She was reinstated, given
another chance, and she was taking
her final test.
For several mornings she had been
rising at three o'clock to cram with
facts before she entered the days ex-
animation. Her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
David Lutz, heard her moving about
in her room. At five o'clock they
heard a shot.
Reused from sleep, the girls father
ran to her room and found her lying
IN a pool of blood, her books, papers
and notes by her body. She died a
short time later. On the morning de-
livery of mail the postman brought a
letter from the college, telling the girl
she had passed her tests.

The rodents displayed many of the

INDIGESTION

Fortunate indeed is the individual free
from the distressing pangs of indigestion
or dyspepsia. Carelessness in what and
how we eat has made these ailments well
nigh universal. If we could only slow
down, live a bit more placidly, much of
this stomach trouble would disappear.
Yet, even though we cannot, or will
not, take time to eat as we should, there
is no need for anyone to suffer the tor
ments of gas, biliousness, nausea, indiges-
ton or constipation. A splendid preventa-
tors are now recommending Jacques Diges-
tive Capsules. These capsules give prompt
relief, tone up the entire system, aid in
waste elimination. Taken after eating,
absolutely prevent stomach distress. Taken
regularly, they correct chronic cases. COO
