Practically every visitor to the
County Agents office, and in most
OF the conversations on the farms,
the live stock subject comes up.
All classes of live stock come under
discussion, and the feeding question
is foremost. 1t shows that the sit
uation has come to the point where
1t is almost unanimous that live
stock feeding is the solution of one
OF the most important problems of
this section. A market for feed
stuffs. Climate conditions are In
our favor. Feed crops aae6tsd to
Park County grow and produce in
quantities that there may be
abundance of feed for all pur-
poses the year round. These crops
been produced and attempts
made to market them. These have
to be profitable and the CON
sequences are evident Let us have
live stock properly fed.

No outstanding act has been
made in banking circles of recent
years more notable than that Of
Frank NJ. Heinrich, of the First
National Bank of Hardin, Montana,
when he not only met his assess

but he has also thrown an addition
= 500, 100000 into the banks
treasury to make possible the re-
opening of the bank, and that his
name as its president, should not
be smirched. Mr.. Heinrich, although
realizing that he was not legally

is to arise to the moral liability.

1t is generally conceded that the
best and most efficient method of
marketing feed products is through
live stock when situated as Park
county is in regard to the main
markets. At this time it is well to
think about the condition of the
lambing ewes on the farms. Are
they on a gaining ration? If not
the feed should be increased. Grain
should be fed to insure a good sup
ply of milk at lambing time. A
week lamb is a liability. A poorly
fed W will not shear as much as
II she was well fed. These things
should be taken into consideration,
they mean profit or loss for feed

An exchange tells a story of a
man who was caught out in the
woods during a storm. He did not
want to get wet and the only place
he could find was a hollow log, into
which he managed to crawl. The
rain lasted a couple of hours, when
the fellow decided he had better go
home. He tried to extricate him
self from the log. but the soft wood
had swollen and he couldn't bulge.

woods, many miles from the nearest

SINCLAIR SAYS
SENATE ,PROBERS
.UN AUT HORIzED
Charge Teapot Dome In
vestigatiOns Carried On
Without Authority

WASHINGTON, March IA (P).-A
contention that the senate oil investi-
cation which rocked the country three
years ago was carried on for months
without the committee having legal
authority to examine witnesses was
raised today by the defense in the con-
tempt trial of Harry F. Sinclair
For this and other reasons, counsel
for the lessee of Teapot Dome has
asked Justice Hitz to direct the jury
to return verdict of not guilty. After
hearing argument for three more hours
with the jury again absent, the court
took the motion under advisement.
The defense's contention about a
want of authority by the committee,
due to an oversight by the senate in
adopting a resolution continuing the
inquiry into the naval oil leases, ap-
parently took government counsel by
surprise.
Tn replying to the general argument
ney Gordon passed over this question.
This caused Martin w. Littleton of
New York, one of the lawyers for the
oil operator, to twit him.
Finally, Justice Hitz suggested that
| the government lawyers might want
to dwell on the point upon further re-
Election and later Owen J. Roberts re-
piled briefly, arguing that even though
the senate had failed to specifically
give the committee authority to sum-
mon witnesses and administer oaths,
the chairmen of the standing commit
tees had right to give the oaths and
that consequently when Sinclair was
! sworn on December 4, 1923, that oath
was binding.
For their part; the defense counsel
, insisted that there was no such au-
thority at law as Roberts claimed and
that since the committee did not have
the right to swear the oil operator in
December and omitted to give him the
oath when he refused to answer ques-
tions, he could not have been in con-
tempt as he had not been legally sum-
moned
Should Hitz agree with defense
counsel the trial would automatically
end, counsel said. If he does not, he
then is expected to pass upon two
other questions raised-the admissa-
bility of the defense testimony before
/ the jury and whether he or the jury
is to decide the question of the per-
tinency of the questions which Sinclair
refused to answer.
Arguments on prayers to the jury
men and the general summing up then
would come before the case would
reach the 12 men who have heard very
little of the case in the five days it
p, has been in progress in the District Of
l Columbia supreme court.

COURT DENIES
MOVE TO QUASH
SPERRY CHARGES
Attorney Cites Supreme
Court In Move to
Dismiss Case

A bombshell was thrown into the
superior court at Tombstone yester-
day when Attorney w. c. Gilmore
moved that the case against his client,
A. A. Sperry, being tried on embezzle-
ment charges, be dismissed. The mo-
tion was oyerruled.
Gilmore made his motion on the
grounds that the supreme court of Ari-
iona has ruled that embezzlement is
not a continuant offense, and that a
man cannot be convicted on III diff
ferent counts when he is being tried
for only one.
To prove the point he cited, the
Storm case as an example. The Storm
case was similar to the one now in
progress and created considerable ex-
citement about 20 years ago.
Alexander Murray special prosecut-
ing attorney said that the state had
not been taken by surprise with Gill

ed to the motion. The objection was
sustained by the court.

FRANCE TO SEND
AN OBSERVER TO
PARLEY ON ARMS
British Admiralty Lays
Disarmament Plans Be
fore Parliament

PARIS March IA (P).-An American
invitation to France ''to be represent
ed" in some manner at the projected
three-power arms limitation confer
cnce which will include Great Britain,
Japan and the United States, was pre-
sented to the foreign office this. after
noon.
The French government, having de-
clined President Coolidges original in
vitation to five-power naval limita-
tion conference, it is thought will COM
ply with the second request by sending
IAN observer" thus following the meth
cd which the United States has en-
ployed on several occasions in Euro
pean conferences. The new note will
be sumbitted to the cabinet tomorrow
The opinion is expressed by political
men here that President Coolidge's
second communication to France means
he still hopes to induce Foreign Min
lister BRAND to revise his previous de-
cision against taking part in such ne
gotiations, and to join the conference
on the same footing as Great Britain
and Japan. This hope, however, is al
legged to be in vain, because of French
disappointment over the results of the
Washington conference and the dilap-
idated condition of the French fleet.
LONDON, March IA (P).-The British
admiralty's view of the three-power
naval conference at Geneva proposed
by President Coolidge was laid before
the house of commons today by w. c.
Bridgeman, first lord of the admiralty.
Making the reservation that he could
hold his present attitude only as long
as the admiralty was able to carry out
it's sacred duty of maintaining a fleet
equal to that of any other power and
providing reasonable security for Brit
ish sea communication, Mr. Bridgeman
expressed the belief that nothing but
good could come of such an exchange
of views.
He insisted that perfect frankness
between the powers concerned was es-
sential for the success of the confer
ence. Likewise, they would have to
respect and consider each others spe-
cial difficulties.
The head of the admiralty said he
earnestly hoped that France and Italy
would reconsider the position taken
when they failed to accept President
Coolidge's original suggestion of a
five-power conference, and would agree
to take part in the Geneva meetings.
But even without them, he believed
] Great Britain, the United States and
| Japan could make considerable prog
ress toward naval disarmament with
/ out risking the sacred obligations
which he had mentioned.

Wide-Open Gambling Act
OF Nevada Goes to Senate

wide-Open gambling bill will be

ate at Carson City tomorrow morn

tiOn in the assembly today.
The assembly last week passed
the bill, which would give gambling
establishments "a legal status by inn
posing a license tax of $1,000 upon
them. The vote was 20 to II, just
short of twO-thirdS majority,
which left it open to the assembly
to reconsider it's actions. This it
did not do today, and therefore the
bill goes to the senate. Nevada has
had state laws against gambling,
but i'm some communities they adj

CATHOLIC POET

WASHINGTON, March IA R-Paul
Claudel, the new French ambassador,
arrived in Washington today from
the far east. His arrival adds to
the list of the capital not only one
of Frances greatest diplomats but
also one of her supreme poets, COM
monty regarded as the Regeneration
of Catholic poetry in this country if
not in Europe generally. For more
than 80 years Ambassador Claudel
mas been combining skillful ana
calculating diplomacy as a profess
sion with mystic poetry, deeply I'M,
bued with Catholicism as an in.
spiration and spiritual relief.
In those branches he has proved
himself remarkably versatile, in both
achieving a great reputation. Plead
ing unfamiliarity with all issues
now under discussion between the
United States and France owing tc
his long stay in Japan, where he
has been stationed and the fact that
for the last month or more he has
been travelling, the new ambassador
refrained from commenting upon po-
litical questions.
He expects to remain in the United
States about one month before pro,
ceeding to France for the wedding
of one of his daughters, and to con-
fer with his government concerning
matters pending between the two
countries. He will return here at
the end of the summer. His cred>
