Korea. just as they have been doing
in China. They have failed to sue

fail in Japan. The family system
here is a splendid bulwark against
communism.
Russia is pursuing policy in
China every bit as imperialistic as
that of the former Cars. The Chi
nese. blinded by their resentment
against Japan because of the mis-
takes this nation has made, do not
realize that Nippon is now their

Russia A joint control Of China

WELDON FARMERS CALF
BIGGEST YET REPORTED

When r. j. Gardner of Weldon,
offered to sell F. C. Masser a IL
months old calf for $50, Fritz saw
visions of looking for some other oc-
cupation besides the butcher bust
ness. Mr.. Gardner was told that it
would have to be a good animal to
bring $50, and when assured that
it was a good one, he started to talk
buy, but was positive in his own
mind that he would not pay such a
price for a calf.
Masser went to see the animal,
and bought it at the price named
and would like to buy more just
like it. When killed, dressed and
weighed the steer weighed exactly
Ats pounds, nearly as much as the
average three-year-old steer.
According to Mr. Gardner the calf
was raised like any other calf on
the range, with the exception that
he was made pet around the barn,
wlan he came in off the range with
his mother. The calf was a roam
Shorthorn and ran with it's mother
on the range, but when it came in
at night or odd times with the moth
er it was given a ration of grain,
but was never driven in or pamper-
ed in any way. No attempt was made
to make an extra fine showing with
this animal any more than with any
others on the ranch, and the reason
given by Mr. Gardner for this quick
development is given to McCone
county grass and climate.-McCone

MICHAEL ]. DE- LAHUNT
Meets DEATH SUDDENLY

Michael J. de LaHunt died sud-
denly at his home just south of the
river about 8 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing. The news of his death was a
great shock to his many friends and
neighbors. He was preparing to
drive his car to Wolf Point and dur
ing his preparation for the trip was
taken with an attack of heart trouble
that proved fatal within a few min
utes
Mr.. de LaHunt was 81 years Of
age, having been born May 10, 1864,
in Sheboyga.1 county, Wisconsin. At
the age of II he came with his fam
lily to Morris, Minnesota. There he
was married 18 years ago to Julia
Calvin. With his brothers he fol-
lowed the occupations of farming in
the summer time and numbering in
the winter In 1913 accompanied
by his brother, T. J., he came to
Wolf Point.
For several years he engaged in
the meat business with Joe Klink-
hammer and then took land in the
timber across the river where he
cleared and improved a fine farm.
His health has been failing notice
ably the past year and he suffered
several fainting spells and slight
paralytic stroke. He also had been
peculiarly unfortunate in suffering
a series of accidents, two of which
occurred within the past two years.
All of these accidents happened to
his right arm, shoulder and hip and
were caused by falls from horses.
Mr.. de LaHunt was a man Of
sterling character, held in high es-
TEEN by his friends and business as
sociates, and his untimely passing
will be source of deep sorrow.
He is survived in this vicinity by
his brother T. j., Mrs. de LaHunt
and three children, the oldest Thorn
as being 16 years Of age. The other
two are John r. and Mary.
The body was taken on No. A
Tuesday night to Morris, Minnesota
for burial, accompanied by Mrs. de-
LaHunt and the children. The
Knights of Columbus escorted the
body to the depot.

Northeastern Bankers
Successful Convention

Roosevelt; G. B. Bull of Redstone
for Sheridan, and E. B. Peterson of
Nashua for Valley.
Each told of conditions of pros
perity verified by production statis-
tics that proved what Montana can do
under favorable conditions of wealth
er and right farming methods. The
most notable thing brought out was
the increase in farm incomes from
corn, hogs and dairy products. The
income from wheat, of course, was
by far the biggest item.
Senator Schnitzer stated that for
his section of Roosevelt county care
full computations showed that the
total value of the agricultural pro-
duets for 1924 more than equaled
all the Indebtedness standing against
the farms.
Reports from Phillips and Valley
were excellent and included new
item of farm income in sugar beets
which it was declared would be of
far greater Importance this year.
