Mills and Mills, aerial artist, direct
from the Minnesota and Iowa State
fairs. They will impersonate animals
of numerous kinds on a wire so feet

free acts making the circuit of the
western fairs and is a sensation in
itself. Then, with a bang and q
flash, the fireworks display will be
let loose.

state queen will be received by the
Gallatin queen and there will be g
sparkling dance revue by Mrs
Camille Keister's Dancing Kiddies.'

DEMOCRATS BID
FOR wet" VOTE
Rudely Reject Platform Plank
Endorsing Initiative
Measure No. 30

What appears to have been a direct
bid for the chimerical wet" vote
was made by the Democratic state
convention in session at Helena
few days ago when, by the over
whelming vote of 55 to 8, il refused
TO GO on record as opposing Initia-
tive Measure No. 80, the proposed
repeal of the "dry" laws of the state.
The platform plank thus rudely re-
jected was placed before the conven-
tiOn by former Governor Sam v.
Stewart and United States Senator
T. j. Walsh. It's introduction created
an urroar that ended only when the
decisive vote was taken. In view OF
the result, say prominent "dry" adj
vOcates, it seems safe to assume that
either the Democrat party, or such
portion of it as attended the state
convention is "wringing wet" or the
meeting made bungling attempt to
play politics" The action is not
likely to arouse enthusiasm in the
hearts Of the many "dry" members
Of the party.
The platform as adopted followed
the usual line of such documents
when drawn by Democratic hands.
1t condemned virtually everything,
from the Republican party as an or
ganizatiOn to the least of its prin-
clples, and Republican administra-
tions from constable to president. As
vas expected, the administration of
Governor J. E. Erickson was lauded
Senators Walsh and Wheeler praised
and Congressman J.. NJ. Evans COM
mended, although for just what has
not yet been learned. The boosting
Of Wheeler proved bitter pill to
some Of the delegates, but they swal-
lowed it in the interest of harmony

YELLOWSTONE TO
CLOSE SEPT. 20

YELLOWSTONE PARK, Wyo.-
Yellowstone park, region of wonders
and the courtry's largest game sanct-
uary, has begun preparations for
winter at the close of its most sue
cessful season,
m The animals are drifting down
rrom the high ridges to the sun
warmed and grass filled valleys while
the rangers ration outlying snowshoe
cabins and cut the winters wood.
Rail travel to Yellowstone ceases
September 20, and on that date the
hotels, permanent camps and trans
pOrtation company likewise cease OPP
Grafton for the season. Persons in
private automobiles will be permit
ted In the park as long as weather
permits, which should be until about
the middle of October.
The motorist who comes TO Yellow
stone after the close of the regular
season viii find stores open at main
points in the park. The Hamilton
stores at Old Faithful and Lake viii
also be ready to accommodate linn
tied numbers who desire board and
lodging. At Mammoth Hot Springs
and Yellowstone Canyon, the Whit
taker stores viii be open for trade.
0ld-timers predict a heavy winter
and Yellowstone seems to deserve it,
after the big summer it experienced.
Fully 10000 more people win have
visited the park when the gates are
finally closed in 1926, than in 1925
And 1925 was 3. record year. The to-

SHOULD CONTINUE
WAR ON BARBERRY
Twelve Thousand Plants Des-
trOyed But Much Remains to
Be Done, Says Expert

While more than 10000 barberry
bushes have been eradicated in Mon
tana since the campaign against
black stem rust Of wheat started here
four years ago and while rust losses
this year are lower than they have
been for some time, partly because Of
weather conditions during the season
and partly because of the progress
made in barberry eradication, there
still remains considerable work to be
done before danger of rust losses IS
eliminated, according to w. L. Pop
ham, in charge OF barberry eradica-
tion for the state.
/ Mountain valleys and certain areas
about cities and towns in central and
western Montana present the great
est difficulties in the barberry eradi~
cation work, says Mr.. Popham. In
these places common barberry used
for decorative purposes escapes from
cultivation and often large areas are
found infested from a single bush.
At one point more than 1900 plants
were found within a radius Of a mile
and a half from a common barberry
hedge. Birds carrying seed are re.
spOnsible for much of the spread of
the plants.
The success Of the campaign Of
eradication depends largely upon the
cooperation Of the public, says Mr..
Popham. There is a state law against
the sale and importation of the COM
mon barberry in the state and this
has been responsible for keeping out
large numbers Of the plants, but oc-
casionally unknowing OF unthinking
individuals bring in common barberry
plants from other states and use
them for decorative purposes about
the home. Such plants are difficult
to locate and often cause widespread
infestations.
Mr.. Popham suggests that where y
species Of barberry is desired for
decorative purposes that the Jap
'anese barberry be used. This plant
is more ornamental than the common
barberry and is not host Of the
fungus which causes wheat rust

GALLATIN COUNTY exhibitors CAPTURE
MANY FIRST AWARDS At HELENA FAIR
Big County Collective Exhibit
Wins Firsts in Vegetables
and Forage Crops

Once more, at the State fair at
Helena last week, Gallatin county
farmers and stock men demonstrated
that crops and stock raised in this
valley cannot be excelled.
The big GaIlatin county collective
exhibit, in charge of Ralph Darlin-
ton, placed first in vegetables, first
in forage crops, and second in grains.
Most of the prizes in hard wheats
went to Gallatin farmers. The win
nings included two silver trophy cups
and nearly $500 in cash.
The premium money will go to the
Gallatin County Fair commission and
will be used to help pay the expense
Of preparing the collective exhibit.
The exhibit is now at the Midland
Empire fair at Billings, at the close
of which it will be brought here for
display at the Gallatin County fair.
A complete list of the awards made
to Gallatin county exhibitors will be
published as soon as it is received
from the secretary Of the state fair.
Besides taking high rank and many
awards in threshed grains, sheaf
grains, forage crops, vegetables, and
other agricultural products, Gallatin
exhibitors made a splendid record in
livestock and poultry. In the sheep
division, C. E. Sine, Arnett and Wad-
dell, and the Manhattan company
captured many of the ribbons award
ed. Gallatin also maintained its lead
in the auction ring, where more than
1,700 registered sheep from four diff
ferent states were sold. The highest
co raid st the sale. $235, was raiC
