pockets are full of hospitality and
cordiality and kindness and courtesy

Ground the horn. 1t is then that you
wonder. Was there ever fairer land.
Was there ever better, more hospit-
able, more progressive people inhabit-
ing like area that are now gathered
together in Carbon county? Well,
hardly.
Sometimes I wish that life might
last forever. But if it did we might
become so vain and grabbed and veal
thy that we would look with derision
on the people of less favored lands.
But. at that, I am sure that in that
bright, bright Carbon county of the
hereafter where all the joys of all the
ages are gathered up and condensed
into globules of transcendant ecstacy,
say that l am sure that there will be
nothing half so sweet as the memory

have to do with the matter of raising

raised here in the past, using only

Other farmers who are interested in
this proposition should get in touch
with Mr.. Peterson at the high school
at an early date so that arrangements
may be made, for contracting for the
seed.
The farm shop Of the Smith Hughes
agricultural department is now ready
to take orders for any farm appliances
which the farmers of this vicinity

The most interesting part of Con-
gresham Leavitt's speech to the peo-
pie of Red Lodge and Carbon county
was his unqualified stand for the Red
Lodge-Cooke City road which is near
and dear to the hearts Of the people of
Carbon county and eastern Montana
and to anyone who is interested in the
mines of Cooke City and to the preser-
walton of Yellowstone Park. The Con-
gresham answered Senator Wheeler's
statement that he (Leavitt) had not
participated in the early conferences
of this proposed road. Leavitt point
ed out that as early as December 1924
he had held conference with the del
egation from Red Lodge and had
taken the matter up with the forestry
department in Washington and also
with the forestry department in Mon
tana. He said that correspondence
could prove his statement, and that
Senator Wheeler had stated that he
(Leavitt) had come down here just
before election to go over part of the
proposed road in order to get votes.
Leavitt declared that records would
show that he, together with Mrs.
Leavitt and Mr.. and Mrs. Shelley, had
made a thorough examination of the
Cooke City mines in August 1925, and
declared that Immediately after the
primaries this year he had come to
Red Lodge and made trip on horse
back over a part of the proposed route
up to and beyond Beartooth Lake. He
then told of conference in his office
with Senators Walsh and Wheeler in
December 1925 when Mr.. Shelley, the
Red Lodge representative, was pres
ent and when the plan was agreed
upon as to procedure. He stated that
this plan was carried out up to the
point of the House adopting the
Senate amendment which was intro
duced by Senator Walsh. This amend
ment was lost because Of a misunder-
standing. He gave Senator Walsh
and Senator Wheeler full credit for
their share in the bill and said Mr.
Shelley had secured the assistance OF
Republican senators like Senator

Congressman Leavitt addressed his
audience more than an hour and half
and during the entire time the people
gave him close attention.
Mr.. Leavitt discussed the issues of
the campaign; first answering the
Democratic platform and then ans
wering Senators Walsh and Wheeler.
Mr.. Leavitt discussed farm legislation,
particularly the McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill. He read extracts from
the Congressional Record showing
that Senator Walsh voted against the
farm relief bill on the grounds that
he thought it was unconstitutional.
Mr.. Leavitt was fair in his statement
and stated that Senator Wheeler voted
for the bill but said it was economical
ly unsound which in effect was an ar
gument against the bill, while Con-
gresham Leavitt did not agree with
either Walsh or Wheeler, and voted
for the bill.

ganization was made up of Mrs. Paul
Cartwright, chairman; Mrs. G. E.
thompson; Mrs. Ed. Skoglun; Mrs.

Carbon county product and from be-
ginning to end it was thoroughly en-

NEW YORK; May 14.-Because he

magistrate pointed, out that what the
plaintiffs called indecency, the de-

evidence has been adduced and
the magistrate has witnessed the .ex-
hibition,' he said in his dismissal
opinion. "The. defendants raiment is
so scant and frail as In law to be
ignored. The exposure of the person
is thus established. 1t remains only
to determine whether it is lewd.
"The law does not define lewdness
or indecency. That must depend upon

and morals of the community. A So

Exposure of the person is not unlaw-

"In the present case there is pos
tive, momentary presentation by de-
fendant HALEY as Eve with nothing
hidden, as would appear to the eye
except by a fig leaf, although close
scrutiny would reveal a gauzy tex
ture on a small part of the body.
"Yet the whole effect is not unlike
what may be seen in paint, marble or
bronze, in nearly every art gallery.
"While a prurient court might be
shocked I am inclined to hold that
present day standards do not rea-
sonably permit condemnation. We
frown at early day crudity, when
equity was varied with the size of the
chancellor's foot. Our progress will
be small if today aesthetic value be
left to the haphazard, uniformed judg-

There is a possible source of dam
