AIM TO PRESERVE
LONGHORN CATTLE
Government Will Maintain Herd
On Wichita National Forest
in Oklahoma

That the long-horned or Spanish
breed of cattle, once so numerous in
the Southwest, may be preserved from
complete extinction, the Forest ser
vice, United States department If
agriculture, will maintain a herd on
the Wichita National forest in Okla
homa, according to an announcement
made by Col. W. B. Greeley, chief for
ester. The agricultural appropriation
bill, signed by President Coolidge on
January II, carries an item for their
purchase and maintenance.
The department has for several
years urged the necessity for a small
herd of these picturesque examples of
early pioneer life of the Southwest
for the benefit and education of fu-
ture generations interested in pioneer
history, said Colonel Greeley.
The Wichita national forest lies
right in the heart Of the range OF
the old southern herds of plains buff

Here also grazed some Of the pic
neer herds of these long-horned cattl,
when the livestock industry in thu
Southwest was in its infancy.
There are still a few living mem
bers Of this once breed o
cattle to be found in Texas. The her,
for the government will be selecteI
by expert cattlemen familiar with tn
characteristics of the cattle and of tn
southwestern ranges, and will b
grazed in a pasture Immediately ad

l2,OOOBARBERRY
BUSHES REMOVED
Vigorous Eradication Campaign
Being Waged Against Breeder
of Black Stem Rust

Since the beginning of the barberry
eradication campaign in Montana in
1918, almost 10000 common barberry
bushes have been located and der
strOyed, according to a report by w.
L. Popham, in charge of barberry
eradication in the state. The plant
is a host of the rust fungus which
causes black stem rust of wheat and
other grains, says Mr.. Popham, and
a concerted effort is being made
throughout the spring wheat belt and
other western states to remove all
barberry bushes, thus preventing the
tremendous losses in grain which are
traced directly to this cause.
In the 1O-year period starting with
1915, it is estimated that black stem
rust caused a loss of almost 15,00O,-
600 bushels of wheat in Montana, an
average of 1,500,O 900 bushels a year,
says Mr.. Popham. In 1916 it is es-
timated that rust destroyed 100000
600 bushels of grain in the states pro-
ducing spring wheat, with much Of
this loss in Montana, Minnesota, ana
North and South Dakota.
In the eradication campaign in the
state, the entire eastern half has beer
covered by a farm-tO-farm survey
and some of the important whea'
growing areas west of the mountain
as well. Only the counties of Lin,
coin, Glacier, TOole, Sanders, Mis-
soula, Powell, Lewis and Clark, Gran
tie, Ravalli, Deer Lodge, Silver Bow
and parts of Beaverhead and LAX
counties remain to be surveyed. Tn
work will be pushed to completion a
rapidly as possible, advises Mr.. Pop

'WORLD BUSINESS"
SUBJECT OF TALK
Paul CIagstOne of y. S. Chamber
of Commerce, Analyses
Present Day Conditions

Paul ClagstOne, manager of the
Western division of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States, ad-
dressed a special luncheon of the
Bozeman Chamber of Commerce Fri
day. The title of his address was
"The World of Business" and he gave
an analysis of the peculiar civiliza-
ton in which we live today, which
differs from previous years in that
most of our thoughts are devoted to
commercial activities.
The speaker outlined the great
prospects which have come to large
sections Of the population through
industrial building up" during the
last 100 years, eliminating in the
years 1925 and 1925 with every pros
pect that very prosperous conditions
will continue in the United States for
some time to come.
Reasons for Optimism
MI. Clagstone gave a number Of
reasons for our present prospects,
emphasizing Standardization, effici-
ency in eliminating waste in many
fields, and especially the fact that
the government of the United States
has avoided passing national legisla-
ton along unsound economic lines,
whereas other nations, particularly
since the World war, have expert
mented with paternalistic legislation
, of various sorts.
The speaker stated that the great
> questions which affect most of the
population today are business ques-
. lions and can be solved only through
e the aid of business men. He ex-
planned that business organizations
s such as the BOzeman Chamber OF
s COmmerve, the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, many trade as.
s sociatiOns and the international Cham.

WOMEN APPLAUD
new STYLE
KITCHEN CABINETS
First Cabinets Ever to Ap-
pear in Exquisite Period
Design

Once again the modern woman has
kitchen equipment.
For long time now interior decor
ators have sensed the fact that the
cold, bleak, dead white kitchen, with
it's severely plain, business-like equip
ment was losing favor-especially
with the alert, MODERN housewives.
These modern women have come to
the conclusion that the sameness of
TOO MUCH WHITE and BLACK
and GRAY is monotonous and really
depressing.
Today the fashion of having CHEEKY,
colorful, inspiring kitchens is growing.
These new-day kitchens have colored
walls and woodwork-smart, contrast
ing curtains-very artistic floor cover
ings, often in beautiful tile effects.
They are delightful, livable rooms.
And to meet this trend one alert
manufacturer of kitchen cabinets has
recently introduced a brand new
style in kitchen FURNITURE.
He has made these cabinets in ex-
quisite PERIOD STYLES-a radical
departure-and something entirely
new in beauty. Yet women who have
seen these new style cabinets have
applauded loudly, because there has
been added to the utility for which the
cabinet is SO widely known just the
touch of smartness and color that the
modern woman wants.
For instance there is gay, color
ful Spanish model And there is
dainty, soft-tinted Colonial and a
smart, up-to-date Modern-American
(Klearfront). These are exclusive de-
signs created by distinguished Euro
pean artist.
None of the efficiency, none of the
time and labor-saving features are
missing. They are all there. But
there has been added new concep-
tion of beauty and color which will
undoubtedly start many people to
thinking of the great possibilities in
kitchen arrangement.
These new style kitchen cabinets
are being shown by one of our leading
merchants. 1t will be a delightful
revelation to you to see them
Unquestionably this new turn of
things will be vitally interesting to
women everywhere who keep up with
the times. You will want to know
all about them of course, so as to be
able to discuss the subject.
While editorial policies will not per-
nit US to publish in these columns the
name of the merchant selling this
new style cabinet, we will gladly fur
nish the information if you care to
call the advertising office of the pub
Usher.
