have signed long petition and have
forwarded it to headquarters in st,

increased in size until they can han

They also ask that these pens b.
supplied with water troughs and
feeding racks and that the number
Of enclosures be increased.
Now the stockyards will handle
not more than five carloads. There
are no accommodation for watering
and feeding them. When there are
more carloads 70 be shipped, bunchss
must be held up and down the road

The fact that a teacher hiss beer,
highly successful as a city teacher
is no criterion by which to Judge her
ability to supervise rural schools, adj
wise rural teachers, and iron out diff

country districts.
Neither does the fact that a lady

fact that she will meet the problems
springing up with sympathy for the
people involved and knowledge Of
their troubles which though real to
them are often considered imaginary
by one unacquainted with rural prob

To be an ideal county superinten-
dent, the candidate should be one who
is thoroughly acquainted with rural
conditions, a successful, progressive
teacher and one who has good plain
common sense.

includes $40 acres of school land. The
property adjoins the J. A. Baker ranch
of $500 acres, which was purchased
some time ago by Mr.. O'Grady. Con-
sOIidation Of the two properties will
give the O'Grady ranch and acreage
of approximately 1000 in addition to
the Baker country home, which is one
of the finest country homes in north
ern Motana.
Approximately 750 head Of Here
ford cattle on the Baker ranch were
