THE COUNTY AGENT

All honor to the County Agent, may his tribe increase.
Training, initiative, loyalty, industry, cheerfulness, Opt
mism, @adaptibility" these are a few Of the gu sal fac |,
seven or EIGHT hour day or overtime" He must contend
with indifferences and s~kepticism and stand the brunt OF
uninteligent criticism. But he smiles and carries on
Without the County Agent, the state organization pack
Of him and the naturally progressive farmers who cooper
ate with him, there would be no corn shows or kindred
evidences of agricultural advancement. Our farm pro
gress in Montana would be mostly backward.

MEASURE NO. % CARRIES

The gross production metal mine tax, known as Inltia-
tive Measure No. 20, carried in the state by a big majority
greatly to the satisfaction of Governor Dixon and all
friends of the agricultural interests Of the state. Already
there are predictions that the courts will be resorted to IN
an effort to have the law declared void. The farming
country newspapers lit is easy to distinguish which they
are) which before the election so ably aided the mining
interests should not cease their good work but put up the
best arguments they can, for the money, in favor of annul-
ment or repeal.

Watch Report Cards
The report cards were given out
last week. A number of the children
need to do more work. Those who
have been below for two months will
have to do a great deal of work if
they expect to pass. This week ends
the tenth week. We have eight left
in this semester. Those who fail
viii have to remain in their present
grades. A number who are not able
to keep up with their grades have
been put back. We can hold u
large grades back for those who can
not keep up. A certain amount of
work has to be covered each semester.
Mr.. Brown of the Montana Child
ren's Home addressed u Assembly
one day last week. The children sold
tags to aid in this work. 1t is a
worthy cause. Children from Wolf

served another good lunch one noon

of Miss Dahlstrom is endeavoring to

Rev. Johnson gave IS an excellent
talk at our Tuesday morning Assem-
bly, last week. He showed US the part
that God has in the Progress Of civil
cation.
On Tuesday Of this week Mr.. Arlie
gave a most interesting talk on
the Development of the Law" He
traced the growth of our laws con-
corning the transference of real es-
tat from the year 1866 to the present
time. He also explained why we
need a court system. He empha-
the fact that the rights Of
Americans are protected to a greater
than those Of any other
nationality.

CONSERVATION

There is danger of political froth and fury OBJ
scurng the real issue of the oil inquiry at Washington
That issue is, of course, conservation of natural
sources and protection of the public domain, which
contains much of those resources.
1t is the old issue that was supposedly set
tied forever in the Roosevelt administration, only to
be endangered and fought all again in the very
next administration Secretary Balnger represented,
perhaps honestly school of thought and class of in
terests that wanted to exploit and utilize all available
public Immediately, letting future genera
tions shift for themselves. He overwhelmed by
national sentiment which insisted that the
should go slow in signing away its natural wealth.
The rival schools of conservation policy are always
at They clash in every administration. They
have merely particularly bitter and spectac
ular clash after the discovery that national prop
erty of peculiarly valuable kind has been signed away
with prodiga lberality and with evidence of Incl
dental crookedness the part of at least high
government official.
The courts will take of criminaty. Congress
and the public will decide the personal fate of men
who may have been criminal, but inefficient
mistaken guardians of public property. But per-
sonates ar etransient and comparatively unimport-
ant
The important thing is for the public to keep
clearly in mind the reckless alienation of national
tolerated in the past the shrinking volume and
increasing value of the OIL coal, timber water power
etc.. still owned by the government and the need OF
everlasting vigilance lest these too be given for
for mess of pottage.

UNCLE W1GGILY AND THE
UMBRELLA HOLE

1t was raining in Woodland
where Uncle Wiggilv lived in his
hollow stump bungalow-rainmg
very hard, and very wet rain it
was, too, let me tell you.
:" Ho, hum. 1t won't be very
pleasant TO go out looking for ad-
ventures this day." said the rab-
bit gentleman,f twinkling his pink
nose as he stood looking out of
the window.
- You don t mean to say you are
going out in the rain, are you?'
cried Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy.
Eyes; why not! :" asked ;he rab.
bit. t+
You'll get all wet and catch
cold in your. pink nose aud then it
won t twinkle, y spoke the muskrat
lady housekceper.
"I1l take an umbrella-that
will keep the rain from me-" said
Mr.. Longears. Eyes, | must go
out, rain or shine, and see what
sort of an adventure will come to
me.
Nurse Jane sighed, but she said
nothing more, for well she knew it
did little good to talk to. Uncle
Wiggily once, he had made up his
mind.
''Well, be sure you take the right
