FIELD OF BARLEY
AT SEDAN YIELDS
95 BU. PER ACRE

Montana has many claims to
agricultural distinction besides the
winning of worlds wheat cham
piOnship at the international, and
one of these belongs to Gallatin
county.
Two weeks ago Joe Whitman of
Sedan threshed 20 acres of barley
that yielded 95 bushels to the acre.
This report was brought to The
Courier office this week by Mr..
Whitman, who said he had been
careful to check and re-check his
figures.
Mr.. Whitman's farm is located
about three miles from Sedan. Al
though he expected the barley to
show a heavy yield, he was great
ly surprised by the actual figures.
Not only had it been under snow
for weeks, but crows and other
birds had feasted off the shocks
to their hearts content.
Despite wet weather, the grain
is of high quality and good color.

SALESMAN GIVES
SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
A tough TUSSLE

When J. C. McCray, a travelling
salesman, showed evidences of a de-
sire to start a row at a dance at
BOzeman Hot Springs Thanksgiving
day evening, Deputy Sheriff Howell
was called.
you'd better come with me-" said
Howell, tapping McCray on the shOul-
der.
where to-" asked McCray.
'TO JAIL" was HOwelPs terse re-
ply.
"Ha, ha! You amt goin' to take
me to jail . sneered McCray.
Then the scrap did start. Howell,
a much lighter man, held his own and
more. A crowd gathered, but no one
offered to help enforce the law
Finally the deputy got McCray out
side, dOwned him, and dragged him
to an auto.
In Justice Of the Peace Axtell's
court Saturday McCray entered q
plea Of guilty Of disturbing the peace
and paid a fine Of S25 and costs. He
was considerably 'sbunged up" as Z
result Of his encounter with the dep
uty. HOwelrs nose, which got in th,
way of McCray's fist, is still tender
he says.

COUNTY
"HOOSGOW" EMPTY;
novel SITUATION

With the removal Friday to Mis-
sOula by a United States deputy mar
chal Of Charles Harmon, charged ltish
violation of the Mann act, who had
been held here awaiting action of the
federal grand jury, Gallatin eOunty's
Jail became empty for the first time
in several years.
TIC have no prisoners to watch is
a novel experience for Sheriff Smith
and his deputies. Advantage Of the
situation was taken to give the cOun-
ty 'hOOsgOw" a thorough renovation
and get it in spick and span condition
for the next luckless fellow who falls
into the clutches of the law.
Several persons have remarked that
it seems strange that with such an
attractive undersheriff in charge,
the Jail is not filled to capacity. Good
meals, a warm bed, and an occasional
glimpse Of a charming young woman,
they say, are inducements that should
tempt many a wandercr of the roads
to break in.
However, Gallatin county is peace
full and Sheriff Smith and his depu-
ties are enjoying a little relaxation.
Law violatOrs know, however, that
they have their eyes open and their
ears to the ground, and will be on
the job at the first indication of
trouble. Perhaps that's why there's
so little doing.

Action Planned

Action Planned
In commenting upon the results Of
the clinic, A. L. Olsen, superintendent
Of schools, said that while the per-
centage of defects in the Belgrade
schools is probably no greater than
in any other, he intends to combat
these defects among children in a
number Of ways, so that the percent
age may be lowered to the minimum
in the future. "All three of these de-
1ecrs can be virtually eliminated" he
declared, "and I intend to do every
thing I can to see that they are
Mr.. Olsen plans to do this in sew
eral ways. First, by educating the
students in preventive measures
against gciter and defective teeth.
Cleanliness Of the teeth and frequent
dental examinations will be employed
to guard against defective teeth; the
use of iodine in the diet, as advocated
by physicians, to prevent gOiter.
Free Surgical Aid
To eliminate defective tonsils, Mr..
OLoOH pIOpOSeS LudG LAe CIllluI6u oO
afflicted be treated or operated upon
at some future health clinic to be
held at the school house. A specialist
and nurse are to be in attendance,
with all necessary hospital equipment.
In this way the children of parents
who cannot at present afford to have
the necessary operation performed
will be able to do so, as the service
viii be given free of charge or for a
nominal sum.

E. E. Stone WILL
SUCCEED CONRAD
AS MANAGER HERE

With the coming of the new year,
F p. Stone, present manager at
GlsllelEe, will succeed Ralph j. Con-
rad as district manager here for the
Mountain States Telephone and .Tele-
graph company. Mr.. Conrad recently
rendered his resignation. He will en-
gage in business at Helena.
Other Changes
CO-incident with the change in man
ayers, some re-assignments of terri
tory will be made. After January
1, Livingston, heretofore in the
Bozeman district, will be the nucleus
Of a new group which will include
Clyde Park, Big Timber, and the toll
stations on the Yellowstone Park be-
tween Livingston and Gardiner.
George Schum, now wire chief in the
Livingston office, will be installed as
manager of the new district.
The Bozeman district will then in
clpde only towns in the Gallatin val
ley-Salesville, Belgrade, Manhattan,
and Three Forks-and the territory
contiguous thereto. The change is
expected TO be a benefit to the service
and to enable the resident district
manager to devote all his time to Gal
latin valley exchanges.
Splendid Record
Mr.. Conrad, who before coming
here was exchange manager at Hell
ena, has made splendid record. He
has brought both the mechanical and
the operating phases Of the service to
high degree Of efficiency, and has
strengthened and extended the pleas
ant relations between his company
and the public. He has made hum
dreds Of friends in Bozeman and the
valley who, while sorry that he must
leave, nevertheless heartily wish him

In addition to the wheat champion
ship, Montana won the reserve wheat
championship by taking first place
in hard winter wheat, the sweep
stakes and world cup in durum wheat,
sweepstakes in oats, and sweepstakes
in barley, thereby demonstrating a
versatility in quality crop production
that has never before been equalled
by any state or naticn.
C. E. Smith Repeats
C. Edison Smith, farmer of Corval-
lis and member Of the Montana EX-
hibit committee repeated his remark
able performance Of last year by
winning two worlds. sweepstakes, one
in hard red winter wheat, and one in
durum wheat. The two Peterson
brothers, R. V. and L. E., of Victor,
helped keep Ravalli county at the top
among Montana counties, the former
winning the sweepstakes in barley
and the latter in cats.
MOntana's claim to premier hon
Ors in grains does not rest alone with
the winning of championships and
sweepstakes. In the hard red winter
wheat class this state won 13 of the
first 10 places, including first, sec
ond and third. In Durum wheat Mon
tana won IA of the first II places,
including first, second, third and
fourth. In hard red spring wheat the

seven places, including first, second
