PALESTINE FOR
THE jew, WHY?

At the Stivers Hall, Tuesday, July
18th, G. H. Draper of New York
spoke on the subject, Palestine for
the Jew, Why?" The substance of the
lecture was as follows:
For nearly two thousand years the
Jews have been without a home. But
all this time they knew that in some
manner they would be restored to a
place among the nations of the earth.
Mr.. Draper stated these expectations
were based upon the writings of an
cient prophets. Among the many
promises that God made to Israel,
he said, was one concerning the land
of Palestine. This land, then, was
to belong to the Jew by Divine right
The history of the Jews began at
the death of Jacob, and they have
continued their scattered existence
down to the present time. Today
we see them rebuilding Palestine and
returning there in greater numbers
year by year. During 1925, 10000
Young men and women returned, anC
were actively engaged in planting
trees, building roads and erecting
modern houses. Mr.. Draper ended by
claiming that the return of the Jews
to Palestine is but the beginning Of
great and far-reaching blessing
which shall be the portion of all man
kind.

REGULAR RANGE AND
LIVESTOCK SUMMARY

(By Montana Dept. of Agricultural
May rainfall throughout the state
was deficient and the early part of
June saw a continuation of dry hot
weather. However, beginning the
18th of June and continuing at inter
walls through the third week of the
month precipitation was general ever
the state. This moisture relieved the
shortage or range water and altered
the outlook for summer grass to a
great extent. While sheepmen and
cattlement over the state are much
encouraged at range prospects, con-
siderable Improvement will have to
take place in some localities in order
to prevent a shortage of range feed
later in the season.
Ranges: On July 1, the condition
of ranges for the state as a whole
was reported at SO per cent of a nor
NAL compared with 101 per cent last
month: los per cent a year ago and
81 per cent in 1924 The continued
precipitation through the early days
of July has done much to improve
the already Frightening prospect for
good summer range, brought about
bv the general rains and showers that
occurred in June. Range grass in
east central and southeastern Mon
tana will need considerable moisture
and favorable weather if a shortage
of range feed is to be avoided later
on in the fall.
Cattle: July l condition of cattle
is placed at 101 per cent of a nor
NAL compared with 105 per cent las
month: LOT per cent last year and 10E
per cent in 1924. Cattle are report
ed as making excellent gains thru
out three central and southwestern
districts; as holding their own in dis
tricts l and 9 northwestern an
southeastern districts); and as il
poor condition in the east central dis
trict. where drouth conditions hav
! damaged the range. Prospects ar
, improving in the latter locality due t
the continued favorable condition

sheep and lambs for the state
placed at 1O3 per cent of a norm;

elimination of a series of challenges
which have passed back and forth be-
tween the two managers during the
past several weeks. Both Felsch and
Hester are confident that they have
the best team and the only drawback
to the contest in the past has been
the selection of a neutral ground up
on which to stage the battle.
Glasgow has the finest and fastest
ball park in this section of the state
and the ground will be placed in ex-
cellent condition for the big contest
Three games will be played, one or
