COLLEGE MEN INSPECT LAWNS
FOR THE PRESCRIBED BARDERRY

Aesrs. Cmmins and Cottam from
the college mt BozemAn are work
ing Cascade county under the depart
ment of agriculture in the barberry
eradication campaign. They were
In Belt Tuesday after having been in
the Waltham country.
Barberry is the host for black stem
rust in the spring stage. Both Da-
kotAs, Wyoming, and Colorado and
surrounding northern states in the
wheat growing region are infested
with black stem rust and numerous
harberry bushes are being found in
these states.
Eastern Montana is slightly infec-
ted with rust this year but due to
the dry weather conditions it will
not cause a great loss.
No rust has been found in Cascade
county and very little northwest of
Billings.
This campaign contains a house to
house survey Of Cascade county and
an inspection of all planted shrubbery
So far only six bushes have been
found and these only in the city Of
Great Falls. In Yellowstone county
1000 bushes have been found and de-
stroyed
The barberry bush is ordinarily
used as an ornamental shrub in lawns
but its use as such is prohibited by
state law.
The common barberry can common
ly be distinguished from the japanese
barherry which is harmless by its
more erect growth, red berries in
clusters of more than two, leaves
with spiny edges, thorns in threes to
fives at the base of the leaves.
The Japanese barberry does not
have a spiny leaf, berries never in
clusters of more than two and single
thorns.

was not very sick until q week before
her death, when she WAS seized by
convulsions, which soon took her
strength. Even though very young.
the babe had became an attraction to

outside Of the home circle.

Combines Prove
Popular This Year

WhtdL harvest Is III luii DldSl
Few fields of winter wheat are a.
yet untouched while only a small per
centage of spring grain is rips
enough for harvest
So far it appears that almost al
winter wheat is touched with smui
although few fields carry a sufficient
amount to call for heavy deckage,
For this the season must be at fault
because smut can be found in fields
where the seed was treated either by
the dry or wet methods.
There is a shortage of harvest
hands and many farmers have been
compelled to work shorthanded while
others have purchased combines and
are cutting down their labor costs
and putting it into machinery
About 2000 bushels of wheat are
being received a day at the local ele-
vators. This amount will be doubled
by the end of the week and 1000 to
5000 will probably be received daily
by August 18th
The wheat is of excellent quality
very little being short of protein and
none received so far has fallen be-
low sixty pounds per bushel in
weight and some attained sisty-six
pounds per bushel
The acreage this var is large and
the total amount of wheat raised will
probably exceed that produced in any
year in the history of the state. The
yield per acre is good varying from
II to 25 bushels to the acre for stub
bled in wheat to so bushels for the
best of summer fallowed land.
On the old Clark and Eaton ranch
now operated by J. Frisbee the sum-
mer-faIlowed land produced as high
as 4S bushels to the acre, and yields
on the Gusic and Bazant ranches are
proportionate.
Most Of these men are combining
their crops which are considerably
earlier than those south and east Of
Belt. Grain in the Kibby, Spionkop,
Geyser and Raynesford sections Is as
good if not better than that close to
Belt but because of the altitude is
later.
Beautiful grain can be seen in the !
Little Willow, Willow Creek. and
Little Belt sections although no re
port Of yield has yet been received.
Parties who have seen this wheat /
say that 40 bushels will not be un-
usual.
The amount of wheat to be mar
1eted in the sections named will ex-
.eed TOO 900 bushels this year from
.stimates by people familiar with the
conditions. Geyser will have an
exceptional crop as win the Monarch
.ountry.
The cash income from the grain
rop added to the receipts Of the
took shipments will assure the Belt
Talley Of a joyful Thanksgiving

Eagles Stretch
Wings at Bell

All day long Sunday cars Wers
flashing back and forth between
Great Falls and Belt carryisg crowd
Of Eagles and their friends to ans
from the picnic at Belt. The das
was not as hot as those preceda ae
had been and the pic-nickers seemed
to be enjoying themselves.
Two good ball games were pulled
off, the Bootleggers winsing from the
Great Northern team by a score OF
10 to /, while Neihart beat Raynes-
/ ford Q to 2.
There was very little to complain
of by anyone in the behavior Of the
crowd, everyone being in a good na-
tured mood and although the dust
husg heavy over the streets late in
the evening there were no accidents.
The Tribune says:
With 5000 persons on the grounds
the greater part Of the day the MEM
bers Of the Fraternal Order Of Eagles
Of Great Falls staged their picnic at
Belt Sunday to raise funds to send
the drill team and drum corps Of the
lodge to the national convention at
Seattle this month. Hundreds Of
Great Falls residents motored to
Belt to attend the affair and nearly
every community in the surrounding
territory was represented by large
delegation.
The events scheduled on the pro-
gram of the picnic went off with
clocklike precision and every minute
of the day was erammed with some
sort Of entertainment. A tug-o'-war
between teams representing Great
Falls and Belt was won by the Belt
team after long pull The Great
Falls aggregation almost had the
Belt team over the line at one time.
The Great Falls team will be ths
host to the Belt aug-o'-war men at
dinner to be held soon at the Gerald
Cafe.
Two Baseball Games
Two baseball games, one betwten
the Bootlgggers and the Great Nor
thern shop teams Of this city, and
the other between Neihart and Ray
nesford, furnished several hours en-
for the picnickers. The

The vote in the primary election
was light and the democrats believe
that, for some reason or other, many
of their party men went over to the
Republican to vote in order to insure
the election of friends. This has not
been verified and probably is an ex-
aggeration. At any rate the repub-
leans polled a large share Of the
vote.
The judges Of the primary election
in the first ward were Fred Sunder-
meier, Sam Williamson, Phil Leveille,
Jack Hane and Frank Heron. In the
second ward they were NJ. C. Sene-
cal, Leo c. Graybill, George Mace.
Mrs. Lille Thompson and Mrs. Maud
Noble. In the third ward they we're
Mike Lynch, c. F. Gustafson, Mrs.
Larkin, Leo Spogen and Dominic
Spogen.
The city vote is as follows:
First figure after each candidates
name will be his vote in the first
ward, the second figure his vote in
the second ward. third figure his
vote in the third ward and the fourth
figure is the total in the city Of Belt.

DIRECT PRIMARY NOT TO HOLY
TO TOUCH

The direct primary is no NOR
sacred than this years radio model
Let that be remembered by its blown
in-the bottle partisans whose backs
are now up because of the criticism
growing out of the Pennsylvania
Orgy.
The direct primary is a means tc
an end, piece of mechanism inten-
ded to produce a certain result. If il
does not work well we will be foolish
if we do not hasten to scrap it for
something better It must justify it.
self. If we keep it we must have a
better reason than that persons who
worked hard for its introduction
thereby acquired for it a special and
blind affection.
In such attitude we see no vicious
animosity toward the direct primary.
Yet some of it's friends are now
charging that "enemies" are taking
advantage of the Pennsylvania dis
closures to attack the primary sys-
tenn. This blossoms from an assumP
ton that the primary is sacrosanct.
The Pennsylvania disclosures are IN
themselves an attack on the primary
system. They have emphasized what
was already lnown-that under the
direct primary system candidate
cannot appeal to a lot Of voters with
out lot of money legitimately spent
at that So many voters. so many
postage stamus. envelopes printed
circulars, hall hired, and so on. When
you figure it out yourself it is sur
prising to find how much money it
takes to appeal legitimately to
million voters.
This is fault which has been
greatly increased by the direct pri-
mary. It cannot be a crime TO say
so. It seems to us that the ardent
friends Of the direct primary would
do better to quit yelling "murder!"
and to try to find way to improve
the primary system in this respect.
They will find good citizens gener-
ally ready to help them, for all good
citizens want it the best and most
effective method Of selecting and elec
ting candidates. etioa sshrdlu etaoo
ting their Representatives in govern
meut.
We would have poor opinion OF
the radio manufacturers If they in
sisted that their device stand or fail
as Il is this year. The makers OF
elcteion machinery, too, will be most
successful If they are quick n ac-
knowIed@e and to try to cure faults
Improvement. the spirit Of American
Invention and industry. is not out Of
place in American politics.

DENIES BERLIN PATIENT
IS DUCHESS ANASTASIA
Friend of Cars Daughter Says
German Claimant Bears
No Resem blance.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, January
l6.-Grand Duchess Olga, daughter of
the Dowager Empress Marie Feodo-
rova of Russia. has returned from
Germany, declaring there is no truth
in the report that Frau Won Tschai-
kowsky, recently discovered in Ber-
IN sanitarium, is really Grand Ouch
ess Anastasia, daughter of the late
Car Nicholas.
The story was first circulated In
the German press some weeks ago.
Olga last saw Anastasia when the
latter was 10 years old, but says Frau
Won Tschaikowsky has not a single
facial trait in common with Anas-
taSia. Furthermore, she speaks only
German, while Anastasia. who was
among those shot by the revolution
lists at Ekaterinburg, was unable to
speak German at all.
Olga believes Frau Won Tschaikow-
sky is a neurasthenic, who believes
stories concerning her origin circu-
lated by persons closely associated
with her.
