LIBRARY BENEFIT
BRINGS OUT CROWD
EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE
OF LOCAL TALENT WINS
MERITED APPLAUSE

The Womans Club benefit per-
formance at the Liberty Wednes-
day evening has been voted de-
cided success and the receipts
were large enough to enable the
club to complete all obligations
assumed in connection with the
founding of the city library. The
dramatic and musical talent ex-
hibited during the evening was
high class and thoroughly enjoyed
by the packed house which was
present for the occasion. A num-
ber of visitors from other towns
were noted in the audience and
they too have been enthusiastic
in their praise of the program.
Much of the credit for the sue
cess of the evening belongs to
Miss Belle Donaghue, in charge
of the dramatic section of the
club. Miss Donaghue has worked
hard the last month perfecting
all the plans and attending to the
thousand and one details neces-
sary. Speaking on the behalf of
the club she wishes to thank those
who took part in the evenings
especially the talent
outside of the club who so gem
erously donated their time and
services. The club also wishes to
thank the general public for
their generous patronage.
The stage settings were well
prepared and the ease and natural
ness with which the various play
ers presented their parts spoke
we'll for those who directed the
affair.

NO LAUGHS LOST IN
"C0HENS-KELLYS'

If life was made for laughter,
whoever attends the Liberty
Theatre Nov. 25th and 26th
while "The Cohens and Kellys,"
the Universal-Jewel, is the fea-
ture, will live complete life dur
ing the run of the picture. This
picture will also be shown at 8
p. M, matinee, Thanksgiving af-
ternoon.
"The Cohans and Kellys" is
life jammed with wholesome hu-
man touches of pathos and conn
edy. 1t is a beautiful painting
from the delicate brush of the
great artist, Harry Pollard, the
director who put Reginald Denny
on the road to success.
1t is not a farce comedy, but
it is drama of the relations be-
tween the Irishman and the Jew
told with an eye always on the
comic possibilities of the tale.
The Irish policeman who opens
his heart to the Jewish family is
played by Charlie Murray, whose
most recent roles have been as
a character comedian. He is ex-
ceptionally good in this part.
Teamed with him in furnishing
much of the comedy is Kate
Price, real Irish lady from Ire
land, while on the other end of
the balance are Vera Gordon,
the famous hit of "Humoresque"
and George Sidney, stage actor
of 80 years experience, famous
for his character work in the Pot
ash and Perlmutter plays and as
the prince in "The Prince of Pill
sen." These two Jewish players
contribute their quota of laughs.

LEGION MEETING IS
VERY WELL ATTENDED

The meeting of Leonard Deth-
man post of the American Legion
last Monday night had the larg-
est attendance of any meeting
this year, according to Post Com
mander B. A. Baricl1man. In ad-
dition to completion of plans for
the indoor circus which is being
held this week to secure funds
for a municipal swimming pool
two other business matters of in
terest were acted upon.
1t was voted to change the date
of the election of post officers
from January to June in order
that the terms of office of local
officers might conform with terms
of office of state officers.
Communications regarding the
care of orphan children of ex-
service men were read and the
local post voted S24 for this pur-
pose. The funds were asked for
on a embership basis. The
case of the Gunther children,
formerly of this city and now in
Helena was cited as an example
of the need along those lines. Mrs.
Gunther is now working in the
home of Governor Erickson and
has her oldest daughter with her.
Two of the smaller children are
in a children's home in Helena.

BULLET FATAL
TO FROID MAN
JAMES ROWAN SUCCUMBS TO
WOUND FROM GUN DIS
CHARGED BY ACCIDENT

Froid, Nov. 13.-James Royan
of this community, who with his
family have been making their
home with Henry Weinch, who
resides a few miles southwest of

Royan, in company with Allen

bank into the water, turning over
once. During this time rifle
which they carried in the car was
accidentally discharged. The bull
let entered Royan's stomach and
passed out through the back, just
above the kidneys.
Some time after the accident
happened Logan Walker and Joe
Obershaw, who are hauling coal
to Froid from out in the Smoke
creek country, came upon the men
and took them to the Walker
ranch, later coming to Froid and
reporting the accident.
IRoyan was at once brought toI
Froid and rushed to hospital at
where he died Thurs
1av about noon. He is survivedI
ov his wife and son, about Z
years of age, and daughter, l3

MONT. FARMERS
OVER the HILL
STATISTICS SHOWING THE
STEADY GAINS MADE
LAST TWO YEARS

Helena, Nov. 16.-Early in
1925, Montana agriculture turned
the corner of its adversely and in
the past two years has in part re-
covered from the drouth years of
1917, 1918, and 1919, followed
by postwar deflation, says the
biennial report of the state de-
partment of agriculture, labor and
industry.
'FThe grain harvest of 1924
1925 was large" the report says.
"A world shortage greatly in
creased prices. New hope was in
stilled throughout the grain belt.
The effect of this improvement be-
gan to be felt in the closing
months of 1924 when the market
ing of crops began to assume vol
ume.
Income Grows
The total farm and livestock
income increased from $97,656,-
900 in the crop year of 1923-1924
to 1924, ,476,000 in the crop year
1924-1925. The 1925-1926 total
farm and livestock income was
$12, 900, well above any pre-
ceding season of the war period.
"The cattle industry recorded
noticeable improvement. The
value of marketings increased
from $19,215,000 in 1924, toI
$20,477,000 in 1925. There was
an improvement in average prices
of about fifty cents per hundred
pounds compared with the preced-
ing year. The volume of market
ings reached 407, 900, the largest
normal turmoil for single year
in the states history. Farm and
range prices both increased dur
ing the two-year period"
The 1926 Crops
The value of farm crops alone
in Montana will this year ap-
.proach $11S, S,O0O,O 900, am increase
of about $6,000,000 over 1925,
according to the biennial report
of Commissioner A. H. Bowman,
of the department of agriculture,
labor and industry.
The Montana farms are today
valued at S453, 3,345,643, so that
the gross value of farm crops will
be more than 25 per cent OF the
total value of farms.

PLAN FOR PROGRESS
In 3 COMMUNITIES

Meetings at which the program
of the communities will be dis
cussed and plans made for def
mite work along progressive lines
will be held in the Volt, Perish
ing and Bredette communities
November 10Th, Gosh and 22nd.
The meetings are scheduled for
80 p. M, it being the plan to
spend the afternoon discussing
factors which have influenced
the farm income, and if possible,
to work out a community program
to put more of the progressive
practices into use.
Meetings held in these com
munities a year ago to analyze
and measure progressive practices
indicate that there are many far
mers who were experimenting
blindly and not making use of
the information available through
experiment stations and local
tests. The meetings November
10Th to 22nd will be follow-up
to the meetings held year ago,
but will be more inclusive as ex-
perience has proven that other
features should be included.
Rating Score
Roosevelt county communities
have been compared by means Of
a community rating card which
has been developed and used dur
ing the past year. A large num-
ber of factors which enter into
community operation have been
included and the communities
rated have been scored on each
point. 1t is believed that Roose-
vel- county communities will rate
as high as communities anywhere,
due to their use Of progressive
practices which have affected the
farm income.
The first part of the meetings
will be devoted to study OF
community problems with the last
part of the afternoon being given
over to plans for solving prob
lems of the community in am or
ganized way. These meetings
have proven to be of considerable
interest in the past and it is urged
that as many farmers as possible
he out to these meetings and take
part.-A. w. Warden, County
Agent.

TAXES COMING IN FAST

Treasurer McFarlan says he is
very much pleased with the way
taxes are coming in this quarter
Mondays receipts amounted to
$1,000, Tuesdays to $4,000 and
Wednesdays to nearly $4,000,
An encouraging feature and one
which indicates prosperity and
good management is the fact that
large majority of tax payers
are making their payments at one
time rather than making two pay
ments.
