Montana's oldest and most prominent
dailv newspapers. The Standard IS
not competitive in this field with the
Courier. Its appeal to the local pub

state, nation and the world and on its
features. The wide range of these
features, including comic strips, hum
OrOus articles, serial story, sports,
material Of special appeal to women,
I children's stories and others, is Of
I such character that the Standard man
agemenh declares the paper win at

GROWS POPPY SEED

ANACONDA, Mont-With the sale
of 500 pounds Of poppy seed to Ana
conda bakers by Mrs. John VaniskO
indications are that a new industry
may be readily developed in the Deer
Lodge valley. The seed a raised
on the Vanisko ranch near Race Track
where Mrs. Vanisko has been carry
ing on experiments in the growing Of
peoples on a commercial basis for seed
for the last two years. It has been
found that the Deer Lodge valley is
well adapted to the raising Of the
poppy plant for seed purposes. The
mild weather and the late falls give
the poppy plants ample time in which
to grow and the crop sold recently
was threshed a few weeks ago. Two
years ago Mrs. VaniskO began her
experiments with the raising Of pop
pies and only 80 pounds were har.
vested from the first crop.

KILLED BY OWN GUN

KALISPELL, Mont.-A gun set by
his " hand caused the death Of
James Geer, a trapper Of the upper

front of a rifle set in the woods. Geers
trapping partner, C. o. Yocum, iden-
titled the gun and the paraphernalia
used in setting it as Geer's property
and testified that the last time he saw
Geer before he was shot, the various
articles introduced in evidence were in
his possession. 1t is presumed Geer
set the gun, made a detour and, losing
his bearings in the thick brush, walk
ed into the set.

Prof. Leroy Abrams, head of the
botany department of Leland Stan
ford. has made a long stride toward
practical beauty by his plan to have
about the university IA garden scien-
tifically arranged and with every rare
and lovely plant which the climate
will permit. DIR. Abrams had been
working on this idea in advance of the
published statement that the vener-
able plant wizard. Luther Burban nd
had bequeathed his experiment garden
to Leland Stanford and wished it's bo-
tanical department TO perpetuate his
work. Mr.. Burba nk's intention was
primal rily to create a wonderful garden
for its aesthetic influences as we'll as
for botanical study and he believes
that every fourishing seat of learning
should do likewise. DR.. Abrams goes
srrther and believes that there can be

and Sonora. SO 1t is argued that 1t is
bit snobbish to address them other
than Mister or Mistress when they
reach the United States. In Paris
Monsieur and Madam hold. and in
Teutonic lands Herr and Frau, and so
1t goes. Washington has, however,
prided herself on accepting the gentler
ways of court cities and has endeaYor-
ed to make the stranger within the
gate feel at home by addressing him
in the manner TO which he Is accuS-
toned. In the court cities of Europe.
there are officials who can present
strangers from every quarter of the
globe in proper stvle and address him
a few words in his own tongue. Wash
ingtUn is the court city of America
and on ceremonial occasions can take
on all the dignity and circumstance
of the Old World. SO, despite the i'm
piled criticism of New York, the
Capital will continue the polite prac-
tice of addressing the Gallo as m. =
and Mime" the Latin as Senor and
Sonora and so on down the line. The
very ability to do SO seems to argue
well for the culture and refinement of
its social world.
