put on as an entertainment feature

ready functioning and the splendid

gov chamber of commerce and XII

Northern Montana Corn Show the |
leading agricultural event of the !
state Local cooperation, coupled |
with the cooperation of the six ad- |
joining counties, Hill, Blaine, Phil
lips, Roosevelt, Sheridan and Daniels, /

1925 is to be an event that many
states will know about, and numer-
ous out of state visitors will see.

STANLEY BURESH DRIVES
THROUGH FROM NEBRASKA

Stanley Buresh. the wrestler. ac-
companied bv friend. returned here
Monday by car from Nebraska. They
found all kinds of roads from the
best to the worst. but made the trip
through almost the entire length of
Nebraska, entirely through the state
of Wyoming and this far across
Montana in the record time of three
and one-half days. They drove al
most continuously. stopping only one
night to sleep. The trip consumed
125 gallons of gasoline. costing prices
varying from 18 cents to 40 cents
gallon. Mr. Buresh drove his big
Cadillac eight.
Stanley says that the stringent
laws have very nearly killed wrest-
ling in Nebraska He will probably
remain in Montana indefinitely and
hopes to arrange matches with some
of the real contenders in this part of
the country. lncidently it is not in
to mention that Stanley
Buresh of Wolf Point has very
promising chance as candidate for
the light heavyweight championship
of the United States. Any ambitious
wrestler of ITS pounds or near that
figure who desires to take him on will
find an exceedingly interesting job,
in pinning Stanley's shoulders to the
mat for even one fall.

SOUND SENSE FROM
HIGH AUTHORITY
JOHN C. SARGENT, NEW ATTOR-
NEY GENERAL HANDS TRUTH
TO PARENTS

Allegiance to the constitution.
without mental reservation, and ex-
ertion of woman's influence to make
some of those of wealth and refine
ment realize that in wilfully disre-
garding the law they are leading the
nation to anarchy, was urged by At
torney General Sargent on Friday
night in his first public address since
he entered the cabinet.
Addressing the Daughters of the
American Revolution, he laid down
in emphatic language the double duty
of women who participate in world
affairs and told the descendants of
those who fought to establish this
country that they should not rest
content solely because their fore
bears were great.
Should Train Them Early
Mr.. Sargent asserted that there
was an evident laxity of thought
with regard to the law on the part
of a section of the wealthy classes
which the descendants of the found
ers of the country $50 years ago
could correct in the coming genera
ton by spreading the lesson to the
mothers not to forget, while parti-
cipating in politics, their duties at
nome and to their children.

Case Will Be Con-
Sidered.

Filling of vacancies in chairman
ships Of the Sixth and Eleventh dis
tricts occupied attention of the Re
publican State committee today.
Before the luncheon which pre-
ceded that C. NJ. Brown of Richmond
would be named to succeed George
Elliott. deceased, as chairman of the
Sixth district, and that the Eleventh
district plum would fall to Jess
Murden of Peru.
The vacancy in this district came
about through appointment of Hurd
Hurst, former chairman, to Judge of
the Miami Circuit Court.
There was a world of whispered
gossip about the case of d. c.
Stephenson, former Grand Dragon
of the Ku-Klux Klan in Indiana, and
erstwhile power in Republican poll
tics, now in Jail on charges of
numbering Miss Madge Oberholtber.
According to rumor the case was
to be considered in formally by the
surface thinly concealed but ap-
parent break between the forces
favorable to Governor Jackson and
Senator James E. Watson, was
visible.
Both sides seemed to be jockey
ing for control of the State com
mittee before the senatorial election
next year. According to reports Wat
son may find determined opposition
in his battle for the nomination.
