INTEREST in SHEEP
GROWS ON FARMS
'INROOSEVELT AREA

A GREAT deal of interest has
~ been manifest by large num-
4 n Der of the farmers of Roosevelt
county in securing small bands OF
sheep and getting start along that
line of agricultural activity. Fred
Rather, cashier of the First National
Bank of Wolf Point, states that
there have been more enquiries re-
lative + sheep raising at his bank
in recent months than for the last
10 years, and is is believed that the
farmers as a whole are beginning to
realize the vast amount of money
they. are losing each year by not al
lowing few head of sheep to clean
up the waste forage on their farms.
Under farming conditions In that
county, one acre of land producing
sweet clover or alfalfa will easily
take care of five head of sheep. At
this ratio, on 100-acre basis, ON
five-year term, considering all fac
tors. it is not hard to determine that
there is as much profit and less la
Dor in utilizing land for sheep pas
ture as there is In blowing 1t for
wheat crop.
Seven head of sheep of the Nord-
man brothers. living southeast of
Froid, yielded them s28 worth of
wool this year. These sheep were
kept In a small enclosure during the
growing season and after the crops
we're harvested were then turned
loose. In addition good lamb crop
was also produced, one eve produc-
ed two lambs.

where club work brought about q
partnership between father and

Fern Frost of Hamilton, bought her
first calf and joined calf club. To-
day, at 16, she and her father are
conducting pure bred Jersey farm,
and the business is thriving.
This was but one OF the very many
important club features of the 1924
Montana State Fair. Herbert Zwis-

fore, had been adjudged the cham
pion club member of Montana and
was awarded free trip to the Inter-
state Fair at Sioux City. Iowa, start

Treasure State by winning the grand
sweepstakes In corn for Montana.
This II year old club boy, who joined
a club and started growing corn in
Saltwater county three years ago,
this year, led the entire field of corn
growers, old and young, and took
home one of the most coveted prizes
the State Fair has to offer.

The wheat crop this year will

Chicago's Grade Crossings.

One of the most shocking Of all the
grade-crossing accidents that have
occurred in this country took place
early Sunday morning in Chicago,
when street car loaded with merry.
makers returning from a costume
party was hit by a backing freight
train and 10 were killed and 40 in
jured, some Of whom will probably die.
The crossing was ''guarded' by gates.
They were up when the street car ap-
preached. The watchman, who has
been held on a charge of intoxication
and negect Of duty, declares that he
did not see the train approaching as
the engine was on the far end. His
excuse, of course, is no defense, as it
was his business to know the condi-
tions and to lower the gates whenever
a train approached.
Chicago has a deplorable railroad
terminal condition. There are scores
Of grade crossings, all of them dan
gerous. A. few tracks are elevated
and some sunken, but the streets and
the tracks coincide at level in SO
many places that life is risked at
every hour of the day throughout the
city.
An urban grade crossing is an
anachronism. 1t should not be toll
Grated. In this city all such crossings
were abolished years ago, but not un-
til they had taken a very heavy toll
in human life. Chicago has been
Studying this problem for decades,
but has got only short distance to-
ward it's solution. Conflicting plans
have contributed to the delay. Now a
terminal system is projected that will
probably eliminate most of the level
intersections, but it is proceeding SO
slowly that in all likelihood many
more Of these tragedies will occur
before the final release of the COM
munity from this peril,
The sacrifice of 10 lives through
one mans carelessness is a shocking
reminder of a gross neglect of duty
by both the municipality and the rail
roads, and should hasten the work of
installing terminal system which
will rid the city Of these death traps.

get them to the polls on election day
was one of the jobs Of earnest party
workers, and in thousands Of election
districts 1t was not a job Of small
size. Loyal Democrats and faithful
Republicans who had enough horse
power and traction equipment would
put in" their teams "for the good Of
the party" Neighborhoods were map
ped of and mopped up, SO that John
Smith with his two-horse farm wagon
could bring Bill Jones and Jack Rob-
inson and their sons and a few other
neighbors to the polling place. The
man with the team and willing to use
it in the party service was an impor-
tant citizen, around election time at
least.
Today nearly everybody in the coun-
try owns an automobile or something
like, and many more men have a ma
chine than ever owned a horse and
wagon. 1t is nothing at all to crank
the machine and gather up some
neighbors who otherwise would have
to walk three miles to the polling
place, lounge around all day and then
walk hcme. Nothing at all! The man
with f1ivver can make a dozen trips
where the man with the horse and
wagon could make one. And the
f1ivver man does it all with less effort.
There is no talk that the horses should
be plowing or resting instead Of haul
ing voters. The country vote can be
brought out in full. 1t Is even hard for
farmer or farm hand to find an ex-
cuse for not going to the polls. He
need not take a day off. Perhaps he
can perform the function Of declaring
his principles" in twenty minutes or
an hour. The automobile has become
a political machine.

To the editor Of The Star:
At the Fall convention OF the
George Washington University on the
18th of October remarkable state of
facts was disclosed, which I am sure
cannot be paral!eled in any college
or university in the land. The rs
graduates represented 90 different
States-North, South. East and West,
with one from the Philippines. The
number of States at the full gradua-
tlon at the end of the year will doubt
less be largely increased
The gratifying aspect Of this condi-
tion of attendance Is that it exactly
fulfllls the earnest wish and wise pur-
pose of George Washington as ex-
pressed in his will. He indicated in

A great, we'll endowed university at

would exert a powerful influence In

is strange that men of wealth the

Eleven to One.

Never before, as far as recollection
runs, have the betting odds been so
large as those that are now offered
in the presidential campaign. BY
steady changes the odds have risen
in favor of Mr.. Coolidge from to 2
in July to IL to on the eve Of elec-
ton. The odds against Mr.. Davis
are now quoted as 13 to and against
La Toilette at rs to /.
With such overwhelming odds pre-

are low, but who are willing to take
a chance for a big winning. and those
who have previously bet on the favor

possibility Of heavy loss in case of

1t has been claimed this year, as in
other years, that the election odds are
manipulated for campaign purposes, to
influence voters, many of whom are
band wagoners," preferring always
to support the winner regardless of
policies or personal preference. But
it is an extremely difficult thing to ma
nipulate the odds. To do SO means
that an enormous sum Of money must
be risked. If bets are genuine. Even

gerous, as they may be accepted and
the manipulative bettor must be ready
to make good.
Most of those who take part in the

Rarely have the betting odds preva-
