At a concert in st. Petersburg, be-
fore a brilliant assemblage which in
cluded the car and many members
of his court, Franz List was conduct
ing a symphony. During the course
of the music the czar began to con-
verse in audible tones with one of his
fair neighbors. In the very midst of
the movement List gave with his ba-
ton a signal for the music to cease,
and the players stopped short.
The abrupt silence filed the audi
ence with surprise, and the car at
once sent an equerry to ask for an
explanation. Whereupon List sent
back word:
''When the car speaks, all the rest
must be silent"
AS this was court regulation, the
car had to suffer the rebuke Of a

Charleston in Ireland

The charleston has been included
Ia the annual dancing tournament be-
tween cities of Ulster, Ireland. 1t Is
not classed as one of the regular
dances, such as the foxtrot, waltz and
tango, but is given in special and
separate competition. The tournament
this year was conducted in Victoria
hall, Belfast, by the Ulster amateur
dancing championship, and every anna
teur dancer in Ulster was eligible.
The first prize was loving cup pre-
scented by the lord mayor of Belfast,
when the contest was inaugurated
three years ago. Miss Katherine Wat
son of Derry judged the trials, and
admitted that Belfast had better dane
ers than Derry.

Harvest Commenced

Grain cutting in the north Raymond
territory is now under full head the far
mers preferring TO cut the grain before it
is fully ripe, rather than take chances on
the black rust which mas made its APP
pearance on all late grains. The roumors
that the crop will be almost a failure is
unfounded, as the kernels are plump and
the heads are we'll filled. but the straw
has become greatly weakened ON account
of the rusty condition that has prevailed
the past ten days. IL is possible that this
grain will shrink some and the yield and
grade will not be as good as otherwise,
but these farmers have realized this and
are going ahead with the harvesting.
Reports have it that north of Outlook
there are many fields that will be 40 per
cent short on account of the rust, but
they too are busy today cutting the grain.
and in another week there will be very
few fields left uncut,
Cutting is about two thirds finished
south of the 500 Line. and threshine is
already commenced in the Medicine Lake
and Dsgmar country with good yields
reported generally.

hlblted at Helena. The sheaves
should be of selected fine heads of
grain with straight straw, and
should be made into bundles not
over four inches below the heads.
The straw on the outside of the
bundles should be stripped clean of
all leaves, and tied in three places.
The easiest bundles to make are
the flax specimens. as all you have
to do is to pick bunch of good fax
where there are 10 flowers or buds,
and form bundles of the above size,
and then bind them solidly, saw
off the roots. The bottom of all
sheaves should be cut or sawed off
clean. Specimen exhibits of grasses
should have all leaves intact, and
as they judge grass exhibits for
their forage qualities only, care
should be used in choosing speci-
mems that are not too ripe. Ex-
hibits of threshed grains and grasses
should consist of one peck of grains
or one gallon of grass seed. and
this should always be clean and not
mixed with other seeds.
If sufficient samples are brought
in. the Commercial Club will en-
ploy help to do this work under Mr.
OlSens supervision, as it usually
takes some time to prepare them as
thoroughly as the requirements of
the State Fair calls for.

advertise Sheridan county and if
you farmers will only do your share,

If you have any nice potatoes,
select one dozen even sized, and

but that Sheridan county will win
as many as ever and we owe it to
ourselves as we'll as to Mr.. Ostby to

Barn Destroyed by Fire

Harold Cleveland had the mis-
fortune to lose his barn and some
hay by fire last Saturday after
noon. Nobody seems to know for
a certain how the fire started. but
it is thought by many that if the
matches and ciearetts were kept
away from numerous of the young
sters who run around through the
back alleys and into empty build
ings that such things would not
happen, There is too many of
these young lads running around

day there is going to be fire that

is a stop put to it.-Redstone Re-

1t is the plans of the County Ex-
tension Dep ,rtment to send an Az
riculturial exhibit to the State Fair
at Helena. Sept 5th to 9th. With
the prospects for Sheridan County
this year, it is believed that there
was never better opportunity for
an exhibit to be assembled that
would be a credit to this section of
Montana.
Mr.. Ferguson, who Is in charge of
County Agent work during the alb
sence Of Mr.. 0stby. asks for the co
operation of every farmer in the
county in preparing the display
that wi, be sent to Helena.
Due to the fact that there is only
two weeks left before tie exhibit is
TO be sent to Helena, MIR. Ferguson
has asked that every farmer who is
interested in advertising bis pro-
ducts. to select sample of the best
he has produced this year and send
il in to the County Agents office on
or before August 9th.
1t is impossible in the short period
of time before the fair for one indi
vidual to 90 over the country and
select the best grains and forage
crops that are produced this year,
80 it is requested that every farm
er make a special effort to send in
one or more exhibits to the County
Agents Office. 1t is hoped that
there will be at least two hundred
and fifty entries sent in before Aug
9th.
The display will be made up Of
all varieties of grain both tbreshed
and sheaf, forage grasses, potatoes
corn and vegetables, All threshed
grain samples should consist of one
peck, sheaves, four inch bundle
when all leaves are stripped off.
The forage crop sheaves should be
about six inches in diameter with
all the leaves left on.
All samples that will be sent in
will be entered in the open classes
to compete for cash and special
prizes. then the exeibit from the
county will be judged in competi
ton with exhibits from other coun-
ties In this district for a one hun,
dred dollar cash prize.
Bulletins can be secured at the
County Agents Office on How to
prepare agricultural exhibits" Any
one desiring such information should
get in touch with that office at once.
1t would be we'll for those who
are interested in fair work to gath
er two exhibits at this time. One
for the state fair at Helena and the
other for the north Montana seed
show that will be held here at
PIeDtywood in October.
Now is the time TO be planning
for the success of the show to be
held in this county and it is the
duty OF every producer to help make
this show q success. With a little
extra effort another sample could he
