Everybody is or should be inter

Of collecting individual contributions.
When the committee calls at a home,
we do not want to be referred to the

Der of the family to give what can
be spared. And we'll see him, too.
Mr.. Parkin has nearly completed

CROP CONDITIONS
GOOD In VALLEY
DESPITE TORRIDITY
Walter M e klenburg Finds
Wheat in Good Shape; Hot
Winds Affect Yield in Some
Localities, However
Good Rain Would Mean Biggest
Yield Valley Has Had
in Years

Notwithstanding calamity. re-
ports that have been sent out
from BOzeman to the effect that
the wheat crop in the valley had
been seriously injured by the re-
cent hot weather, crop conditions
in the valley are better than they
have been for several years, ac-
cording to Walter Mecklenburg,
Smith-Hughes instructor at Gal
latin County high school.
Mr.. Mecklenburg just returned af-
ter a trip over the valley in which
he carefully observed the condition Of
the crops and the effects upon them
o. the recent hot weather. He says:
Crop Conditions Good
"All things considered the crops in
Gallatin county are the best they have
been for several years. The task Of
vining the large acreage Of canning
peas is we'll under way and uniformly
good yields are being secured at a
good profit to the producer.
The cutting of winter wheat began
last week in the Springhill section
and the crop is better than average.
Many of the fields will yield better
than 35 bushels. The harvesting Of
winter wheat will soon begin in other
sections of the county, also. 1t is eX-
ceejingly unfortunate that a large
percentage of the winter wheat killed
m the county because the prospects
for q good winter wheat crop are far
better than a good spring wheat crop
In tne non-irrigated sections.
The spring wheat is still in good
condition in most of the wheat Sec
tions but in some localities the ex-
tremely hot weather has caused the
wheat to burn and the yield has al
ready been affected considerably. A
good rain would insure a high spring
wheat yield in practically all non-ir
ri-ated sections, however.
Hay in Stack.
"The first cutting of hay is nearly
al in the stack. Owing to the fre
quent rains during the month of Jun'
a large portion of the hay was dam
aged. Although the hay acreage wa
considerably below normal on ac
count Of the winter killing Of alfalfa
the tonnage per acre was high due t
favorable moisture conditions.
Water for irrigation has beel
abundant throughout the county thi
year and the farmers have expert
enced no difficulty in securing ampl
water for their crops"

To ADVERTISE
ROUNDUP
BOzeman People Urged to Don
Typical Western Skypiece to
Show Visitors There'l Be
Something Doing Here

The people Of BOzeman are
urged by the management to
adopt the 1O-galIOn StetsOn as a
part Of their regular wearing
apparel during the short time
which will elapse before the
Roundup.
This request applies to both men
and women, but If the latter feel
that the big hat will appear too con-
spicuOus they may don the gaudy
kerchief instead.
Truly Western
These articles of apparel are truly
western, both in their origin and in
their use. Nothing will prove more
intriguing to the tourist than to see
them worn generally by BOzeman
people, at least this is the opinion of
the Roundup management, which is
wen yersed in such things.
1t is felt that in this way the Boze-
man people may assist in the pub
licity work for the Roundup and al
the same time show a spirit of CO.

Pioneers Recall Hectic Days Of
Sixties When Treasure State
Was Young; July IA, 1864,
Date of Discovery

Helena.-MOntana pioneers are
barking back 81 years to the day
when gold was discovered in Last
Chance gulch. It was on July IA,
1854, that the original find was
made on the site of the Montana
club building at Sixth and Fuller.
The day and spot have since been
made historic in the Treasure
state. Since the gathering of
some so pioneers at a banquet az
the Montana club marking the
day last year, three have passed
away. They are Ed WhitcOmb,
who came to Helena in 1868, John
HOrsky who came in 1854 and
Mrs. C. C. Wassweiler, 1854.
Among pioneers who attended that
gathering one year ago and who we're
in the vicinity of the original dis
covery were John H. Shober, 1862;
Jones #. Galloway, 1868; J.. E. Norris,
1868; James GOurley, 1862; Moses
Morris, 1864; William Johns, 1863;
William Geary, 1864; A. P. Curtin,
1864; Mrs. G. P. VanWart, 1866.
D. w. Beach, 1864. Others who came
following the discovery, were grouped
around these older pioneers at the
dinner.
Report Is in Archives.
David Hilger of the state historical
society has on file at the state house
the original report of the commission
appointed by C. B. Power, president
of the historical society and w. A
Clark, president of the Montana So
ciety of Pioneers, to determine where
gold was first discovered in old Last
Chance gulch and to mark the spot
with an appropriate bronze tablet.

Sensational cables describing Eu.
rope as about to burst into a holo.
caust of slaughter because of the cleo.
ton of General Hindenberg as presi.
dent Of Germany should be taken
with several grains of salt.
Hindenburg was elected by consid.
erably less than a million plurality
out of total Of more than 30,O0O.l
600. In other words, almost as many
persons voted for Hindenburg's lead
ing opponent, Marx as voted for the
general. If the vote Of the Commun-
list candidate is added to that of
Marx, it is found that in reality Hin
denburg is a minority president.
That means that more than half Of
the voters in Germany are opposed
to Hindenburg and his policies. Grant
ing that Hindenburg menaces peace as
much as the alarmist correspondents
say Hindenburg would not have things
all his own way if he sought to en-
broil Germany in war. Such move

Then too, the fact that 14,648, IT'S
Germans voted for Hindenburg does
not mean that they all indorse his
policies, whatever the generals pol
icies really are. So many factors en-
ter into an election, as we in America
know, that it is usually impossible
to tell just wha elects a candidate.
Great numbers, perhaps millions, of
Germans voted for Hindenburg be-
cause they believed in a militarist

mailed fist at her neighbors.
There is plenty of room for real
concern, but there is no. need to be-
come widely excited or frightened
over Hindenburg's election. His vic
tory is greatly ODE regretted, but
that it necessarily presages general
war is a far-fetched conclusion. Ca
bles predicting general war sell news
papers but they cause lot of need
less fear and anxiety. Newspaper ed

precious to waste when waste can be
stopped.
William H. Luden, wealthy candy
manufacturer of Reading, Pa, an
nounces that he will pay a bonus to
heads of families employed in his fac
tory for keeping children over IA
years of age in school instead of put
ting them to work. The bonus is to
be $3.50 for each child.
1t was explained, the newspapers
say, that Mr.. Lunden believes most
children stop school and go to work
because their parents need their earn
ings and can not afford to keep them
at their books.
Only one conclusion can be drawn
from Mr.. Luden's bonus offer. That
conclusion, of course, is that he is
not paying his workers sufficient to
enable them to educate their children.
The why, the average person will
ask, doesn't Luden pay his workers
more instead of offering them a
bonus? The answer to this is pre-
sumably that Luden thinks it will
cost less to pay an education bonus"
than it would to raise wages so as to
assure the children of his employees
an education after they reach the age
of IA.
From the conclusion that Mr. Luden
doesn't pay his workers enough for
them to support and at the same time
educate their children another con.
clusion can be drawn, namely, that
there is something wrong in this
country when parents can not educate
their children without the help of 4
''bonus" from their employers. This
is a conclusion that those who insisi

BY The Way

In New York City, under the direc-
ton of the National Civic FEEDER
alton, a notable meeting was recent
ly held. Employees and representa-
tives of wage earners gathered
around the table to discuss the ques-
ton of eliminating industrial friction
and industrial waste.
President William Green Of the
American Federation of Labor sat
with cabinet officials and representa-
tives of great employing interests.
There was a general desire ex-
pressed for helpful, constructive CO.
operation between all parties for the
elimination of wasteful methods and
practices.
The question of waste in industry
is one that is important in every m-
dertaking. Those to whom the ques-
ton is not one of almost constant
study have no idea of the amount of
labor and material that is wasted each
working day.
Standardization has done much
within the past two years to reduce
waste. Better industrial relations
have helped.
But there is tremendous room fol
improvement. There is waste or
every hand. Poorly built gasoline
motors waste enormous quantities Of
gasoline each day. So it is in every
industry. It is like pouring money
down a sewer.
BY all means, let the scientists tel
rs how waste may be checked. HUI
