Seed Corn Selection

Although the season has been
very backward this year and the
corn crop in this county is not up
the average, there are large num-
Der of fields on which the corn is
far enough along, that next years
supply of seed may be picked.
The corn crop all through the
state is considerable below par and
it is expected that seed corn will
be selling for a high price next
spring. Therefor it is necessary
that every effort possible should be
made to select and dry as much
home grown seed as possible.
Ii is true that the frost has killed
the corn stalks, but if the ears that
are mature enough for seed are
selected and properly dried before
a very heavy frost most farmers
will be able to get enough seed for
next year.

the wall of his house. Guy PattlsOn,
cashier of the bank, who lives about
a block away from the bank, report
ed that at about 2 o'clock in the
m orning he heard an explosion
which was followed by several
others. Looking out of the window,
he saw a man moving about with 9

fire arms, he was powerless.
About 5 o'clock, a car was heard
starting on the other side of the
tracks south of the town and the
bank robbers made their getaway
Sheriff Ben Olson, Valley county,
was notified and went to Glentana
early 10 the morning.

Growth in education associations pro-
notes educational progress 1t is no mere
coincidence that the achievements indi-
Gated by the table above have been Sc
cured during the decade of unparalleled
membership growth in state and national
associations. ~ y
These achievements of the past decade
are inspiring, but they must be surpassed
during the the decade just ahead. The
educatianal advantages of the best COM
munities must make further advances.
Strength lies in uniting the educational
forces of the nation. The Montana Ed
ucational Association gives every teacher
opportunity to have part in this great
program of progress.
We desire TO call the attention of the
teachers of our county to the fact that
the new membership year for the NJ. f
A. began September 1. Ii comedies with
the school year. We feel that We have
an excellent group of teachers in the
schools Of Sheridan County and we are
convinced that their consciousness of pro.
fessional comradship with those WIN are
working for the betlerment of education
will cause them to become members of
our own state association. At the County
Superintendents Convention last April
discovered that Sheridan county's percen-
tage of membership was among the low
est in the state while that of our neigh
boring county, Daniels, was over 95S.
am sure our teachers are just as loyal
in working for the improvement of our
other county in the state, so we are hop
ing that this year we may all show our
faith in the M. f. A. and all il is work
ing toward by forming strong county
unit. All teachers must believe that
education pays. 1t pays the state and it
pays the individual 1t relieves both
from the handicap, not to mention the
menace of ignorance. Let us have a
united effort toward obtaining equality of
educational opportunity for all children;
salary standards commensurate with SER
vice standards; a just, equitable, and
adequate Teachers Retirement Law; the
professional and social betterment of its
members, and the development of a spirit
Of democracy through school service.
We are well pleased with the work being
done in the schools we visited last week.
The school buildings were we'll kept, the
pupils orderly and industrious and the
teachers progressive and alert. The
school board OF district number 81 de-
serves commendation for the excellent
condition of its school buildings. All had
been we'll cleaned and the interiors cal
cimined and, tinted during the summer
vacation.
We have limited number of copies of
the last Biennial Report of the Superin-
tendent Of Public instruction of Montana
for distribution.

Mrs. Snyder's confession, which was
read to the jury yesterday. Mrs
Snyder said she stood in the hall
while the corset salesman dubbed
her sleeping husband with an iron

Gray, in his confession. said that
when he got through hitting the
man, she "belabored" him with the
weight, too.
Had Tried Before With Gas
"She made several other attempts
to kill her husband" Gray also re.
vealed. I'm two instances she gave
him sleeping powders or turned on
the gas. I think she gave him
bichloride of mercury when he was
sick with hiccoughs."
Gray said for two weeks before
the murder. while the plan that
succeeded was concocted, he was
"in q literal hell"
