THIRD NORTHERN CORN
SHOW ADVERTISING OUT

Dan B. Noble, secretary of the
Third Annual Northern Montana
Corn Show, has gotten out some
splendidly effective publicity matter
for the big agricultural feature
which will be held at Wolf Point
November II, 13 and IA.
Date stickers have been in use for
some time and now card hangers and
premium lists are being circulated.
The card has on one side a complete
chart showing the "frost free" period
in this section for the past 40 years
as taken from government weather
records. On the other side is a strong
appeal to farmers to attend the corn
and seed show-and bring exhibits.
The permium lists neatly printed
on yellow and blue paper, offer an
unusually long and liberal list of cash
and special prizes. 1t is desired to
get one in the hands of every farmer.
Posters will also be up soon calling
to the big show.

face with snow that struck like glue.
All wires became heavy cables and
many were carried to the ground.
Hundreds of poles were broken in the
Glasgow area and all communication
was cut, east and west, for two days.
Managing the heavy traffic on the
Great Northern was a difficult prob

Frahm, Emerson and Pouder were
sent to Wolf Point to take care of
trains east of here. Finally phone
wire laid on the ground gave tenn
porary connection with the Havre

and block system wires were in one
great tangle. The trouble will not
be completely "shot" for several

Governor Dixon, Attorney Genera
L. A. Foot, John Ward Crosby, clerE
of the supreme court, and John AL
len, the Governors secretary, visited
Wolf Point last Saturday.
An evening rally was held at the
Stennes hall which was well filled
by an interested audience of men
and women and members of all par
ties.
Governor Dixon was the only one
to address the meeting and after be-
ing introduced by H. A. Schoenig
held the close attention of the crowd
for nearly three hours. He took VI
and discussed as fully as the time
allowed every phase of the great
fight now on in the state, centering
around the governorship. He told
how much of our taxes goes to the
state, what the total revenues Of the
state are and what part of them are
derived from direct taxes and what
part from other sources such as the
inheritance tax, coal output, etc. He
also told where the money spent on
the state government goes to. The
governor had the states finances
and affairs thoroughly in hand. He
made reference to the many charges
made against him and his administra-
ton and came back at his enemies
by showing up some of their twisted
statements and juggled figures. 1t
was evident that the impression on
his audience was good, as shown by
good attention and frequent ap-
olause.
