ROGERS & VINSON
THANK THEIR PATRONS

w. A. Rogers, who with Glenn Vim
son has been buying wheat on track
for about the past two months states
that the track buying will be discon-
tinuled for the season, and wishes to
take occasion to extend thanks for
himself and Mr.. Vinson to the farm
ers who patronized the enterprise,
and in that way showed their appre-
ciation of the service rendered the
wheat growers of this section in
largely increased price for the excel
lent high test wheat grown here last
season.
The amount Of wheat received by
the track buyers was comparatively
small and not sufficient to put any
profit in the business. There is
general feeling that the experience
Of the season has called attention to
the real value of the wheat usually
raised in this section, compared to
ordinary wheat of the same grade, |
and that, for that reason, farmers
will have less difficulty in receiving
he price they are entitled to.

Carl Hanto, young Sand Greek
man, came to his death in sensation
al manner JAN 9. Circumstances all
point to self destruction during tenn
porary arrangement. Sheriff Davis

mile from the house. From appear
ances it seems he set the strawpile
on fire, climbed on top of it and shot
himself. The barrel of a % rifle was
found with the charred remains which
were identified by an artificial arm.

to found two checks signed by Carl
Hanto, one in favor of himself and
one in favor of a brother at Sidney,

money Carl had on deposit in
deposit in a Wolf Point bank. His
watch, pocket-knife and other per

house. These circumstances led Austin
% fear that his brother had destroyed
himself.

1t is gratifying to learn in talking
with the farmers in Roosevelt county
that instead of expanding their wheat
acreage they are going to continue
on the same we'll balanced program
they have been following the past
two years. The reason for this is be-
cause most of them through exper-
ience realize the hazards of one crop
farming and know the value of divers
ification.
Safe Program Continues
Realizing the unusual conditions
affecting wheat this last year, both
in supply and demand, and that such
conditions are not likely to happen
again for some time, and with the
success of corn each year, most of
the farmers are going to continue to
put their eggs in more than one bas-
ket and only plant their cash crops
on well titled land mostly corn ground
or summer fallow. According to re-
ports of representative farmers there
will be an increase in the corn acre
age in 1925, over last year which will
tend to further balance Roosevelt
county's agriculture. There will be
little increase in the wheat acreage
due to new farmers starting in next
year. There will be marked i'm
provement in the quality of the cul-
tivated fields planted to wheat prac-
tically every farmer having a sub
stantial acreage of summer fallow
or corn ground upon which a good
yield has never failed.
Hog Industry Grows
Further interest in corn is due to
the fact that the hog business is be-
coming a dominant part in the coun-
ty's agricultural resources, fortunate
ly at the time when hogs are reach
ing the peak of their price cycle. A
large amount OF breeding stock is
being retained this fall and undoubt-
edly these hog growers will receive
high prices for their hogs all during
1925.
Hazard Reduced
With such well balanced individual
that are being planned for
1925 by Roosevelt county farmers
here is no question that risky and
hazardous farming days are a thing
If the past and that this country will
lever again experience such a period p,
through which we have just survived :
which was largely due to one crop T
iaphazard methods which experience
las proved valuable.

Since the question ratifying the
Goth amendment to constitution OF
the United States is one of the i'm.
portance matters before the Mon
tana legislature, the history of the
movement and the meat of the argu-
ments for and against the issue as
set forth in speech in the Senate by
Senator 7. ]. Walsh on January 8th
is of timely interest. The speech and
the numerous extracts from other
documents read into it are lengthy.
Following are some of the more en-
Tightening parts of the speech as it
appears in the Congressional Record /:
1t has become evident that a well
organized and literally financed
movement has been launched to de-
feat the ratification of the child labor
amendment to the Constitution sub.
mitted pursuant to a resolution of the
Congress at the last session by vote
of 297 for to SO against in the House.
and 81 for to % against in this body.
1t has been ratified by the legislature
of the State of Arkansas, rejected by
the law-making bodies of Georgia and
and defeated in referen-
dunn in the State of Massachusetts,
advisory in character, and will pre-
be under consideration be-
fore the legislative assemblies of SO
Of the States, including Massachusetts
during this month of Jan
lary.
The result of the test vote in Mas
sachusetts has emboldened the en-
emies of the reform to such an ex-
,ent that it has been followed by a
quantity of press matter
n denunciation of the proposed (
amendment along the line of what
passed for argument in the campaign
n that State. Much of this is so ir-
elevant to the issue, more of it so
puerile, that it was never
ttered in the debates in Congress.
Tot little of it consists of such
alpable misrepresentation, such OBJ
ious appeals to passion induced
hereby that a cautious campaigner
light reasonably expect that before
ny intelligent audience it would de-
eat its purpose. The revoltingly sor-

On "World Court"

More than Zoe business men of
Americas today at noon heard Gull
len B. Gosnell, of Furman Univers-
ity, Greenville, S. c., discuss the or
gani1ation, and functions of the
World Court and applauded his pre-
diction that the United States would
enter the court when the next Con-
gress convene.
Prof. Gosnell claims that the
United States is out of the court,
because of the fight of the RepubIi-
can irreconciliables who "like a
certain Baptist deacon is agin
anything ana everything" The
speaker denied that the court was
despotic, saying it Operates un-
der the law and not outside the law.
He stated that President Harding,
president Coolidge and Ex-Secretary
of the State Hughes and Root ia
vored America entering the court.
Both Root and Hays have had a
large part in its inception and acted
in an advisory capacity in its pres
ent organization, not withstanding
the fact that America has no place
on the court, he said.
Prof. Gosnell was introduced by
w. w. Dykes. Prof. ]. E. Mathis
preceded Mr.. Dykes in short talk
in which he said eff America does
not eventually enter the World
Court and the League of Nations,
then there will be no peace on earth
or good will among men,"
Preceding his formal Eldress, Mr..
Gosnell said he had lived in Georgia
Florida and the Carolinas, and as
far as he was concerned he would
rather cast his lot in one of these
states rather than Florida. "Your
community and your section have
large opportunities he said. You
have the community spirit here
and that's what it takes to build
