rF ANY more evidence were needed to
definitely establish Montana as the
leading high quality grain produc-
ing area Of the world, that evidence
was supplied at the 1927 hay and grain
show at the international Livestock Ex-
position held at Chicago at the close
Of November. In the five major grain
divisions, wheat, oats, rye, flax and bar
ley, the Treasure state won nearly 54
per cent of the prize money awarded.
Out Of total Of 237 places in these di
visions Montana grains were awarded
Ill. There were IS classes in these di-
visions and in these classes Montana
won nine first places, IL second places
and 10 third places. In the six cham
pionship contests in the five major grain
divisions Montana won four champion
ships and four reserve championships,
winning either the top place o. next to
the top place in each of the divisions
and both places in the durum wheat and
barley divisions. With further winnings
in the timothy and alfalfa classes Mon
tanas total was raised to five champion
ships and five reserve championships.
While Montana produced the winning
grain at the show this state also pro-
duced the champion exhibitors. G. Edison

exhibitor Of high quality grain at the

in the tub. When he emerged he looked
like gilded lily, and we had to use the
blacksmith's rasp to clean him"
Reputable records show that the first
bath tub in the United States was built
by Adam Thompson in 1842 in Cincin-

men present tried the tub, but the water
was too cold for the women. News o.

The first object of a judiciary at all

Thomas Joyes (democrat), a LAWYER
delegate from jefferson county, was one
OF the most vigorous supporters of Mr.
collins amendment to increase the num-
Der Of judicial districts to 16. He claimed
THAT the court calendar was so congested
In Jefferson that justice was being sub

Mr.. Joyes by explaining the crowded con-
dition Of his home county's court cal

"I had an idea when we assembled

Mr.. Joyes in this manner:
