GEORGIA PRODUCTS
CAMPAIGN SHOULD
RECEIVE SUPPORT

ATLANTA, Ga, March "a The
Georgia products campaign, on which
$4,000 is being sought to provide an
exhibit to represent this state in the
Southern Exposition in New York on
May / to 23rd, should receive the
heartiest support OF all Georgians and
every civic organization i'll the state,
in the opinion of leading business men
and manufacturers here.
The exposition it was pointed out
here. will be an innovation. 1t can be
likened to the travelling man who tax
es samples of his concerns products
along with him to show his prospects,
that they might see what the stuff
looks like.
1t is the plan Of those behind the ex-
position to take the products of the
South to New York, the worlds great
est buying ard selling market, where
they can be shown to the big buyers.
II follows almost precisely the prin-
ciple of the cotton mills. The raw
product is made in the South and
great quantities OF the finished goods
are also used in the South. But the
cotton mills maintain northern offices
and southern buyers make their pur-
chascs from these offices, not from the
mills direct
New York is the great clearing
house for the markets of the country
and the South by showing her prod
ucts in the big market place will be
able to reach more people it is stated.

reau met at CulbertsOn last week and

ness:

H. C. Bjorge of Culbertson; Oscar
Nelson of Bainville; Dave Nelson OF

with the State Farm Bureau presi-
dent pointed out what had been done
by the state and county organizations
in carrying on the fight for the tariff
on flax, indicating what it meant to
farmers in Northeastern Montana, al
so their recent fight in the hearings
on the western export rate for wheat
which means so much to the prcduc-
ers Of cereal crops by having an
equalized freight rate and competl-
tive market and also the freight rate
fight coming up whereby they would
contest the proposed IL per cent IN
crease on wheat which will be at
tempted this fall Mr.. Stockton point
ed out that it would mean from $40
to $50 increase per carload to- the av-
erage Montana farmer if the II per
cent increase was gained and with
their success in the recent contests he
believed that if enough interest and
cooperation could be received by the
farmers that they would be success
full in this hearing as well. They
pointed out also that to make such q
fight would require financial support
as we'll as moral and urged every
farmer whether a Farm Bureau mem

button to the president of the County

operating expenses for July were 1876
per cent of operating revenues, COM
pared with 74.5 in July, 1924.
The 500 system reported that its
gross for July was the largest for
any month this year. This enabled

cd this year.
The Union Pacifc's gain in profits

Pacific's stockholders should not wcr-

Prosperity is General
The Federal Reserve Board, in
touch with all the banks in the cOun-
try, reports that prosperity is not
confined to the railroads.
Production in basic industries, ac-
cording to the Boards report just is
sued, turned upward in July after q
continuous decline since January. II
is estimated that the showing fol-
July was 20 per cent better than fol
the same month last year.
The Board also reports that the
prOfiteers are still doing business. The
general level of prices is up 9 pei
cent over a year ago, the rise being
chiefly in agricultural commodities.

AND
OUR WEATHER
By Prof. G. r. Petite

We can do no better in the intro
duction of this article upon the
weather, than to quote from my fore
casts of last January, for September
as follows:
September, frequently a stormy
month, looks like keeping up the
usual record for storms, which are
central the 4th, 9th, 18th, 21st and
9th, with quite a strong combination
for the 4th, 18th and 9th. West In
dia cyclones and Japan typhOons
will be heard from"
Already news of soaking rains,
cloudbursts, destructive torrents IL
feet high, tearing through towns,
smashing houses against each other
is coming in.
Many want to know if the bad
weather is going to continue.
To this I will say: that the Earth's
equinox covers the month: the time
when the Sun crosses to the south
side of the Equator for six months.
We are also under the Mars solstice
and Mercury solstice, and regular
storm period for the 18th. For the
27tk we have regular storm period
and a regular Mercury period, so
we can look for much cloudy wealth
er near those dates, which will cover
several days at time. The End and
9Th of October are centres of un-
usual disturbance.
Many are talking about a HARD
winter, sayingsome cid Indian, OF
some great Scientist has predicted 6
hard winter. Don't get frightened
and commit suicide as some did wher
the cold day was predicted. I viii
say, however, that I look for some
clear, cold weather, but for no great
record-breaker.

INJUNCTION STOPS
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Forthwith Attorney General FOote
assigned two deputies to making out
the necessary legal papers to stop
the outbreak of betting but a woman
spy of the Fair promoters clipped
off" the doings in the Attorney Gem
erals Office with the result that that
body promptly asked a Helena Judge
to issue an injunction restraining the
Attorney General and the Commits
sioner of Agriculture from interior
ing with the Fair. Judge Poorman
granted the injunction and there was
glee in the camp of boolmakers as
the hands of the highest law officer
in the State was tied by a Judge
elected in Helena.
But this did not end the attempts
of the believers in claw and order"
to suppress the gambling on horse
races which had by this time spread
from the fair grounds ali over Hele-
ma like wildfire. Deputations waited
on Gov. Erickson and asked if he was
going to allow such thing to happen
under his gubernatorial nose. The
flames of this backfire against Gov
ernor Erickson were stated to be
famed by friends eff May Trumper
and State Auditor Porter, if not by
themselves individually, who are said
to be ambitious to fill the Governors
shoes after next election. 1t was
pointed out that the republican At
torney General had done his part and
his hands were tied by Helena
Judge and that it was now cup to-
the Governor as the Executive of the
state to see that the laws were not
fiagrantly violated in the very town
in which he lived.
The result was that the Governor
addressed the following letter to

Riding along on the crest wave OF
a protracted period Of prosperity,
Los Angeles slumbered in that feel
ing Of security that comes to those
who became saturated with self-com-

awakening. A crop failed. The
tourists who had automatically turn
ed westward with the first fiurries of
snow did not turn. There were rea-
sons, of course, but these were not

Los Angeles saw a great flow Of
