Warm WEATHER
CONTINUES; NEED
FOR RAIN FELT

BOzeman's warm, sunshiny weather
was varied last Friday night when
the mercury dropped to 81 degrees.
This, in contrast with a maximum
mark Of 81, gave a touch Of both
~ i1-g and summer. No damage, so
r as could be ascertained, was done
81 the frost.
Some anxiety is being felt by
farmers over the failure of Jupiter
Pluvius to deliver moisture, but in
asmuch as heavy precipitation and
the open winter operated to charge
the soil with water to an unusual
degree, present conditions are not re-
garded as at all alarming. Rain
however, is needed in certain sec.
tiOns Of the valley to give spring
crops a good start.
The pleasant weather has given
farmers an excellent opportunity tt
clean up spring work, and full ad
vantage Of it has been taken. Gen
orally, farm work will be fairly wei
finished by Saturday night.

MECKLENBURG IS
NAMED ASSISTANT
FAIR SECRETARY

With the appointment of Walter L.
Mecklenburg, agricultural instructor
at the Gallatin County High school,
as assistant secretary of the Gallatin
County fair to be held here next
September, the board last week got
down to active work on the expOsi-
ton. Mr.. Mecklenburg assumed his
new duties Saturday, but until the
close Of school in June will devote
but a portion of his time to it. From
then until the fair is over, however,
he will be con the job" His head
quarters will be at the county agents
office in the court house.
An innovation which Mr.. Mecklen-
burg will bring to the fair is the cr-
ganizing of community exhibits in
stead of individual displays. This
system, in his opinion, makes for bet
ter exhibits and creates more general
interest than the old plan of indi-
vidual effort. Steps viii be taken
at once to interest Gallatin county
communities in ne matter, to the end
that plans may be early worked out
for creditable collective displays. A
number of community fairs, for thG
purpose Of bringing together the besi
products of certain sections and thO
selection Of representative displays
for the county exhibition, may b
held, it is said.
He. Mecklenburg's first work vii
be the preparation Of the premium
lists, which will require several weeks
He will also line up the boys an,
girls clubs Of the county and ar
range for big displays Of their prod
ucts.
The choice Of Mr.. Mecklenburg a
assistant fair secretary has met witt
general approval, and it is felt tha
with the active cooperation and ad
vice of such able men as Count,
Agent Bodley, board chairman; 3. /
Heidel Of Belgrade, secretary; ]. a

lastic open. Jack Merriam of Tech
nical High School won.
But in that tournament there came
to the surface two real-for.sure hard
luck players, players of ability, still
not the kind who sat behind and
beefed about their bad breaks. Bob
Wenzel and his brother, Dick, are
caddies at the Pleasant Run course.
Bob was playing Merriam in a third
round match. 1t happened that on
the seventh hole Bob saw a stick
on the fairway a few yards ahead
of his ball. He had his caddy re-
move IT. Merriam saw the act and
protested. They continued play TO
the eighteenth green. Wenzel halved
the match when he won the hole,
but when the referee heard Of the
removal OF the stick he awarded that
hole TO Merriam. Thus, Wenzel was
eliminated on the seventeenth green.
Wenzel gained no benefit whatsoever
by, having that stick removed. dc
accepted the verdict without a whim-
per, however, and lost, a victim to
the rules. He is confident Of COM
ing back next year.

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June rs.
The jinx which for five years has
pursued Crimson shells continued its
chase up the River Thames during
the annual Harvard Yale regatta
here, late Friday, and gave the Blue
it's sixth straight victory.
It was real race and both crews
shattered the record of POPS for the
four-mile upstream course.
Yale won In 20:142-5, lowering the
record by IL 3-5 seconds. Harvard's
time was 20:23-3-5, 42-5 seconds bet
ter than the previous best. The
Blue shell was less than two lengths
ahead as it swept across the finish
line.
Although the strong-arm men OF
Old Ell led every inch of the way,
the Cambridge eight fought grim,
game fight to break their five-year
streak of bad luck. Frequently they
threatened to come onto even terms
with the powerful New Haven shell.
