The Hecksen Grove near Colum-
bus will be the site for the first an
nual ram sale Friday and Saturday,
August 26 and 27. The location is
ideal as there is plenty of shade,
water and good feeding available,
which will keep the stock in good con-
dition.
Upward Of 800 rams and registered
ewes will be offered for sale and it
is estimated that 1000 people and 200
flockmasters will attend. Some Of the
best blood in the Rambouilett and
Hampshire lines in the west will be

South central Montana is looking tC
this first ram sale with considerable
interest. The success of the local poo

seven counties of the district, one OF
which is Carbon, has made breeders
look for better stock and this sale will
afford a great opportunity to i'm
prove the flocks.

POSTOFFICE TO Be
MOVED TO POLLARD
BUILDING dec. |

T. F. Pollard of the New Pollard
hotel received word Wednesday that
the unoccupied part of his building
had been selected for the postoffice.
The letter was dated August Is and
was signed by Mr.. c. F. Trotter, First
Assistant Postmaster General. The
lease for the new postoffice quar-
ters will run for a period of ten years,
from December /, next.
The present office has been located
in the Savoy hotel building for peri
cd of ten years which expires on
December l of this year. Prior to the
present location the office was 81
tuated in the building now occupied
by the Red Lodge Electric company
and before that in the building now
occupied by the News.
The postal department assigns their
reason for the change in stating that
the Pollard hotel is in the very CEN
ter of the business district and di-
rectly across the street from the
United States National bank, where
the government does it's banking. The

FLOWER AND FRUIT
EXHIBITS AT FAIR
TO Be ATTRACTIVE

That Montana people are devoting
more attention to beautifying both
their country and city homes by the
growing of flowers is the opinion ex-
pressed by Edward Dickey, chief of
the division of horticulture and super
intendent of the fruit, flower and
honey division of the Montana State
Fair.
"To tourists coming through our
valleys there is no more attractive
feature than beautiful flowers around
the homes,' he says. ut seems to
give the impression that we are liv-
ing in a happy atmosphere. In driv-
ing around the state notice that
nothing sets the residence districts out
as much as we'll kept yards. In Butte
the efforts of the Women's club have
worked wonders in drawing attention
to the fact that the city can be mad
as beautiful as any. All sections ar
adding much to the natural beauty o
the state by increased interest in tn
cultivation of flowers.
'The fruit and flower division a
the Montana State Fair has Away
been the most attractive of the ex
hibits from color standpoint. / ex
pect the flower exhibit this year tt
surpass all in beauty and size, because
of the increased interest in flower
gardening. Fruit exhibits may suffer
from the late season and not be as
large as usual but the flowers,
think, will make up for the loss in
quantity"
More than 5000 will be given in
premium awards in Mr.. Dickey's di-
vision at the fair. Prize money is of
fered for both plate and box displays
Of apples, crab apples, pears, plums
and miscellaneous fruits, in the fruit
section, while in the flower section
two classes, one for amateurs and the
other for professionals, will receive
awards for the best single displays
Of the various flowers Of the state
basket displays, and pictures dealing
with the flower garden.
"The people Of Montana should show
great interest in seeing that The
fruit and flower division is well filled
as it is an indication of the pride
they take in their state and home,
Mr.. Dickey said.

PROHIBIT USE OF
APPLE BOXES FOR
SECOND PACKING

AS the marketing season for local
apples is here, it is deemed advisable
to call to the attention of growers,
buyers and common carriers, the fact
that it is unlawful in Montana to mar
ket apples in old or second hand ap-
pie boxes. 1t is a direct violation of
the Montana Horticultural Law to
use apple boxes a second time, and
anyone packing apples in used boxes
is subject to heavy fine. Growers Of
apples are cautioned therefore, to use
only new boxes for marketing pur-
poses. Growers must also be very care
full and pack only apples which are
free from disease and insect pests
such as worms.
Railroad and express agents, also
buyers and dealers, are instructed tc
refuse acceptance of any and al
apples packed in used boxes. Further
more, every owner Of an apple or
chard should refuse to allow anyone
If anyone brings such used boxes into
his orchard for use there in any way
If anyone brings such used bores into
his orchard or otherwise violates the
Montana apple box law, the matter
should be reported to R. E. Bancroft
State Horticultural Inspector, at Bill
lings.

by B. E. Clements announced Friday
through Ralph Rosen, its chief of
counsel, that it intended to start
court action to prevent Jack Dempsey

JOHN BARRYMORE
AS THE GREATEST
OF GREAT LOVERS

John Barrymore in don Jaun,"
coming to the Iris theatre is an at
traction that has been road-showed in
the principal cities of the country at
$500 prices and acclaimed by critics
everywhere as one Of the most not
able photoplays ever screened.
The Warner Brothers, striving with
every effort to surpass their pre-
vious Barrymore pictures, Beau
Brummel" and "The Sea Beast have
succeeded in making a bid for un-
dying screen fame.
The story, founded upon the legend
Of the greatest lover Of all the ages,
has back of it three hundred year
tradition that has inspired poets,
dramatists, musicians and artists.
From this wealth of story material,
Bess Meredyth, the scenarist, has
built tale that brims with the splen-
dor of the Rome of the Borgias, and
is alive with flashing action.
Barrymore, who. is acknowledged
the greatest romantic actor Of his day,
fairly revels in the silken fascinations
of the role of the great romantic
lover. Amid scenes that range from
an old Moorish castle in Spain to the
glorious pageantry of Rome, the
character finds the beautiful ladies
Of his hearts desire, and loves them
exquisitely.
Among the beautiful ladies who ap
pear with Barrymore are Mary Astor
Estelle Taylor, Helen Costello, Jane
Winton, June Marlowe, Helen LIE,
Worthing, Hedda Hopper and Myrn;
10y. The men in the memorable cas-
include Montagu Love, Lionel Brahm
Nigel de Brulier, Gustav Won Setter
titz, Joseph Swickard, Gibson Cow
land and Warner GLAND. The pictur,
was directed by Alan Crosland.
