What Others Say
r WE STAND
iFrom the pouglas Budgetl

(From the Douglas Budget)
Recently w. S. Kimball delivered
an address before a meeting o.
Masonic past masters at Casper ant
depressed from his subject to stres.
the need and the value of co-opera
ton in a community. He illustrat
ed his point by relating the history
of Casper and of Douglas from
the early days. Douglas had an
suspicious start. widely advertised
favorable location and good soil
while Casper had nothing, not eve
a slightly location But the citizens
of that town avoided petty jealous
les, and had as their object "All fol-
Casper" while Douglas was con
stantly torn up by factional strife.
What was the outcome? Mr..
Kimball. sums 1t up in this para
graph: THE result of it all was
that ever before the days of sue
cessful oil development. Casper's
fame was spread abroad as a strict
ly modern. progressive little city
with the final advantage that when
the days of our really great OPP
portunity came, Casper was ready
and rendered full cooperation in
the development of the oil indus
try"
The moral is plain. Citizens of
a community who would have that
community prosper must sink their
petty personal prejudices and work
with their fellow citizens for the
welfare of the whole community.
Douglas yet has room for improve
ment along this line.

POULTRY NOTES

Culling the flock reduces the cost
price Of eggs and meat.
Chicks that are overfed or under
nourished are, alike, Improbable.
The demand for capons is growing
every year aud there is always a mar
ket for them.
Within the past few years ducks
and geese have both been selling at
high enough figures to make them
profitable. 8
So long as the geese and ducks are
growing rapidly 1t Is not necessary to
feed grain heavily. provided they have
good pasture. Just enough grain to
keep them strong and vigorous is all
that they require. E
Never make the mistake of putting
young chicks on a bare cold floor with
out any litter Of any kind.
Sometimes 1t Is advisable with geese
to make the hens lay about three lay
ings Of eggs, and then permit them to
hatch the last eggs and to care for the
young.
Baby chicks will grow very fast
when fed a mash composed of two
parts cornmeal, one part middlings and
one part bran muistened with skim
milk or water.

While I take a nibble of this new
mown hay"

come with me.
For I too. have some hay you
see."
SO they got nowhere; just paved
up dirt.
And oh, by golly, how that rope
did hurtl
Then they faced about, those stub
born mules,
And said, 1--WE are just like hui
man fools.
Let's pull together: III go your
way,
Then come with me and we'll

Well, they ate hay and liked It,
too.
And swore to be comrades. good

AS the sun went down they were
heard to say.
All this is the end of a perfect

Cold Weather Driving
Antelope To Valleys

MALTA.-Extreme cold weather
and heavy SHOWS in the north
country and Canada are driving
numbers of antelope into the Milk
river valley and on toward the
Missouri. 1t is reported that herds
of from 10 to Is up to three or
four hundred are making the trek.
They have been seen in various
parts of the Big Bend of the Milk
river, where scattered groups r
trying to get at hay stacks. Others
have been seen around Woodbridge,
Bowdoin and Stratter, along the
railroad, on Larb creek and in the
Harb territory. While the upper
parts of Frenchman creek and the
brakes of the Missouri river have
been frequented by antelope in
recent years, they have been al
most unknown in the Milk river
vally. The hope has been ex-
pressed by sportsmen that some
provision for feeding them might
be made by the state game de-
partment, and that care be taken
to carefully preserve them in the
hope that they may establish per-
manent stamping grounds in the
valley.

Map Makers Twist
Two County Seats

Transplanting of two of Mon
tana's county seats and the shift
ing of court houses from two
thriving communities to two
others which had no idea that
they were being honored by be-
ing presented with county build
ings, has caused the Montana
state railroad commission to mott
fly folks concerned that the error
which occurs in the index of the
new state official map, was a typo
graphical blunder made in st. Paul
and not a deliberate revamping of
the list of county seats.
The face of the maps shows the
county seats properly located but
the index indicates that Bainville
is the county seat of Roosevelt in
stead of Wolf Point and that the
Judith Basin courthouse is at
Hobson rather than at Stanford.
where it rests on a firm founda-
ton.
The error is being corrected in
railroad commission headquarters
but hundreds of the maps have al
ready been mailed and the two
courthouses will have to be moved
back to their proper locations by
the present owners of the maps.

LAUGHS REPLACE
VILLAINY IN FILM

Attention of the man who de-
could be constructed without a vii
liam is respectfully called to INC
Fadden's Flats" showing at the
Liberty theatre Dec. 20 and 26,
with matinee Christmas day, 25th.
For the screen production of
this feature comedy, like the stage
play that endured for more than
thirty years of successful and con
tinuous runs, is practically with
ont the suggestion of villainy.
While more laughs, numerous,
unusual and side-splitting situa-
tions have been added to the orig
inal stage play in order to fit it
for the screen, it is as much with
out the usual "heavy" work of the
ordinary play as when it first was
produced.
"The substitution of so many
laughs must have made up for the
lack of villainy." said Edward
Small, who produced it for First
National Pictures. Newer pro
auctions are proving hal audi
ences, the world over, love to
laugh and that they don't mind if
the usual rules of production are
overlooked in the finding of those
laughs. Successful entertainment
of the future will run more to
humor than sobs, and money will
be expended for ideas rather than
for lavish settings"

are enrolled shortly after birth in

Hughes Talked OF
For Chairman OF
G. O. p. Convention

WASHINGTON Dec. (H)-As
leaders of the republican party moved
today toward laying the ground work
fer it's convention in Kansas City
next June, there was talk that
Charles Evans Hughes might be
chosen as temporary chairman OF
the meeting.
Those members of the republican
national committee who are charged
with making arrangements for the
convention, were called into confer
ence by Chairman Butler to map out
the general program, other commit
teemen began to start for their
homes, convinced that the party must
look elsewhere than to President
Coolidge for it's candidate.
They felt also that Hughes had
eliminated himself definitely from
the field.
A good share of the committee,
which yesterday decided to hold the
convention in the heart of the grain
belt, expressed satisfaction when the
word was passed that the former
secretary of state was being men
toned for the conventions keynote
speaker His was practically the only
name figuring in discussions.
The temporary chairman will be
selected by the arrangements COM
mittee, headed by Chairman Butler
some time after the first of the year
He will be replaced by permanent
chairman after the convention has
been organized for business. There
has been little discussion so far as
to who the permanent chairman
should be.
The name OF Hughes, mentioned
by various committee members, seem
ed to incur favor particularly because
of his reiteration yesterday that he
is not a candidate Tor president. His
withdrawal, some members felt, left
him, together with President Coolidge
who would not be available for service
in the convention, as the outstanding
republican for a keynoter, because he
would not have been looked on by
the convention as a possible repub-
Ilican standard bearer in the ensuing
campaign,
With both Mr.. Coolidge and the
former secretary of state generally
considered out of the running, the
committee members let their specula-
ton turn freely toward Secretary
Hoover, Vice President Dawes and
Frank 0. Lowden, with some dis
cussion here and there ABOUT Sen
ators Curtis of Kansas and Willis of
Ohio, avowed candidates for the
nomination
Hoover supporters appeared espe-
cially interested in whether the adj
ministration would take any stand
on candidates and pressed each other

Secretary Work were favorable to the
candidacy Of their colleague, the COM

GALES SENDS
INVITATION To
FL|ER
Aviator Will Start From
Washington in Spirit of
st. Louis.
NOT FIXED
Ace Has Not Determined
Whether He Will Make
Nonstop Trip.

WASHINGTON Dec. tP The
spanning of the 1000 air miles between
the capitals of the United States and
Mexico will be the next international
mission undertaken by Americas am
bassador of good will, Charles A.
Lindbergh.
A telegraphic invitation from Presi-
dent Gales of Mexico to make the
flight reached the transatlantic flier
here today and he has accepted. AL
though his plans are not completed
Lindbergh said tonight that he would
not necessarily attempt nonstop
flight.
81 have not studied the project" he
added, "and the route depends on fly
ing conditions Whether or not any
stops will be made en- route also must
be decided later"
1t is Lindbergh's present intention
York, and to use his spirit Of st.
Louis"
The young aviator, who thrilled the
world by his lone flight from New
York to Paris, has not determined when
he will attempt the trip to Mexico.
He feels certain, however, that he
will not cross the Gulf of Mexico, since
the route over land is only about a
hundred miles longer.
The motor of the spirit of st.
Louis" which carried him across the
Atlantic, he said tonight has never
been overhauled, although it has been
inspected thoroughly The same st.
Louis hackers who sponsored the trans
Atlantic hop he announced, are in
terested in the Mexican venture.
Lindbergh is not now considering
extending his flight to Cuba, or Cen
trail and South American countries.
''Those possibilities have not enter
ed into the flight to Mexico" he said,
"and at present do not know what
will follow the Mexican trip"
The invitation came during Col.
Lindbergh's visit to Washington to re-
ceive the Langley medal for aeE'o-
dromics presented by the Smithsonian
institution for his New York-PariS
flight. The medal was conferred by
Chief Justice Taft as chancellor of the
institution, and hardly were the cere-
monies completed before Lindbergh
slipped away to talk over the proposed
Mexico City venture with Under-Sec-
retary Olds at the state department.
Before he left, however, Col. Lind
bergh gave Smithsonian officials for
NAL assurance that the other half of
the team 1--WE" which thrilled the world
in the Paris flight, The Spirit of st.
Louis" ultimately would take its place
among the treasured historical exhibits
of the Smithsonian, which include the
Wright plane that was the first real
ization of human dreams of controlled
aerial navigation.
