Fighting for the Farm Vote.

Ever since former Gov. Frank O.
Iowden Of Illinois left the Kansas City
convention in despair at receiving the
Republican nomination for President
snd in chagrin over the failure Of his
party 10 adopt a farm relief plank in
its platform satisfactory TO the inter-
ests which he has for several years
represented there has been some feel
Ing Of concern on the part Of the Re-
publican party managers as TO his
attitude toward the nominee in the
campaign. Not until yesterday did he
break his silence, steadfaStly main
tanned since the convention. Then, at
his Summer home, he made a statement
regarding Mr.. Hoover's speech of &C
ceptance which will greatly hearten
the Republican organization and
strengthen its confidence that there
will be no material detection Of the
Western farmers. Mr.. Lowden says
that he IS much impressed by Mr.
Eoover's speech as whole, that his
frank recognition that the agricultural
problem is the most urgent economic
issue IN the Nation today is very heart
70 bring the farm population up to
economic equality with other groups
have his heartiest approval. He adds,
however, that he thinks it will be pTac-
tically found that the sterilization COR
poration proposed by the Republican
candidate can only attain the objects
which he hopes to accomplish if the
cost Of stabilizing the price Of any COM
modify be distributed over the COM
modify involved and not taken from
the public treasury.
While this statement was being issued
and distributed, Gov. Smith was hold
ing a conference with group of rep
resentatiyeS of the farm interests re-
garding the agricultural question. The
reports Of that conference do not throw
much light upon the trend of the ne
gotiationS which are obviously under
way for a Democratic-farmer alliance.
From the agrarians themselves came
the statement representing their views
as expressed to Gov. Smith and their
pleasure with the governors interest
In and understanding of the agricul-
turai problem. From the governor
came the statement to the effect that
he and his callers were agreed as to
the necessity of legislation to help
Americas basic industry; that he had
assured them that in his opinion the
essentials Of the relief they are seek
ing through legislation are covered in
the Democratic platform upon which
he stands, and that there remains but
70 determine the details to make these
essentials effective. He added that he
intends to discuss this subject fully in
his acceptance speech.
Yesterday a statement was issued
from the Republican headquarters in
this city to the effect that some fifteen
newspapers directly representing the
farm interests have declared for Hoover.
Al the same time announcement was
made by former Senator Moses E.
Clapp Of Minnesota that he win sup
port Gov. Smith for the presidency, on
the ground that Mr. Hoover, judged
by his record in Office and by his speech
Of acceptance, would. in the event of
his election to the presidency, afford
no relief TO agriculture.
So wages the fight for the farmers
vote.

far as he was represented by the United
states Government, set about to fine
out what was to be learned from tho
Indians Already 1t was almost toe
late. Much Of the native culture was
dead and forgotten Much of the re-
mainder was dying and half forgotten
The mind Of the red man was changing

querors
At the very time when Indian tribes
we're making their last stands for in
dependence the Bureau of American
Ethnology was organized us Govern
ment institution. under the direction
of the Smithsonian Institution. It's
object was to preserve at least a record
Of the native cultures. to collect the
Inventions. the laws. the faiths and the
songs of the vanishing peoples.
Few Government bureaus have operat-
I'd with less public attention. The staff
consists of small group of scholars
who are working for the future. They
are trying TO preserve. until such time
as it will be appreciated, one Of the
worlds great cultures It is a priestly
task The Smithsonian Institution has
announced the appointment OF new
chief of this little group Of scien-
titic workers Mathew w. Stirling is
one of the younger men who have
forged their way to the front in the
fields Of anthropology and ethnology
during the past ten years He comes to
q place Of magnificent opportunity and
infinite labor Despite the past years OF
research comparatively little is known
Of the Indians. Where did they come
from. how did they live. how did they
think? These three questions remain
to be answered
1t is an extremely difficult field. In
the first place, the native races left
almost no written records Their writ
ing was crude, clumsy and hard to
interpret. In the second place. they did
not have a universal language, as did
their conquerors The Europeans came
speaking various dialects of common
mother tongue. English, French,
Spanish, German, Dutch. Swedish.
Russian were essentially the same, ex-
pressing thoughts in a common way,
An Englishman thrown among Russians
in few months could make himself
understood and in a few years speak
the new dialect as If 1t had been taught
him in the cradle. The Russian and
the Englishman think in the same order
and the difference between their
languages is merely one of vocabulary.
But the Indian tribes had APP
proximately eighty different languages
built up on eighty different fundamental
ideas-that is. the tongue of one Indian
tribe differs from the tongue Of an
other as much as Siamese differs from
Greek-Latin -German-Swedish- Russian
Bulgarian, considered as a single
language built up on a common root
stock.
This diversity OF languages itself
illustrates the enormous difficulty Of
finding and saving the culture of the
red men--a culture which the present
Indians, driving their eight-cyIinder
automobiles, have mostly forgotten.

R. R. KILL MANY
MONTANA DEER
WESTERN MONTANA TRAINS III
NUMBERS OF THEM EVERY
YEAR is REPORT

Many deer are killed annually along
the rights-0f-way of the railroads In
western Montana, rail officials say.
There being a lack of salt i'm the hills,
the deer come to the trackside and lick
the alkaline and saline deposits. Trains,
swinging around the curves of the
track through the mountains, strike
many of the animals.
There are many of the animals being
killed at the present time near st. Regis.
Game Warden j. j. Meany of Plains re-
Gently made a trip to investigate this
condition, and recommended the placing
of salt blocks back in the hills away from
the railway.
This method of saving the deer was
not found effective along the Great
Northern. G. w. Robertson of Nimrod
said. The Great Northern placed the salt
there some years ago, but the deer had
formed the habit of coming to the track
for salt, and did not go to the new ticks,
There were many killed in the cut along
the Great Northern, Mr.. Robertson said.
On the other hand, Russell Bradley
for many years a forest ranger at Essex,
on the Great Northern, said that the deer
did not go to the track after salt when
ticks were available farther back in the
hills.

CHICK GROWERS

fFrom Montana state CoIIerel

4 N ORGANIZED effort TO ~standardize
u the baby chick business in Montana
4 4 was launched at Helena, June 23,
with the organization OF the Montana
Baby Chick association. The purpose Of
the organization is to provide an inspec-
ton service for hatcheries and poultry
breeding fiocks which will insure the pro-
duction OF high quality. disease-free
standard bred poultry for the state. The
association is affiliated with the Mon
tana Poultry Breeders association and
the plan adopted is similar to the recon-
mendations for poultry improvement
Drawn up by the United States depart
ment OF agriculture.
Officers Of the new organization are
Walter Mecklenburg, Bozeman. president:
d. o. Lager. Helena, vice president; Ross
Plumley. Abortion, recording secretary.
and Miss H. E.. Cushman. poultry special
it for the Montana Extension service,
corresponding secretary. Additional mem
bers of the executive committee are Gus
Schultz. Miles City. and Mrs. Gordon
Ferguson. Cascade.
The association is established for the
purpose Of standardizing h baby chick
business OF the state. a step which is
considered essential for the proper de-
velopment Of the poultry industry. ad-
vises Miss Cushman. At the present
AAAAASF ~ AID u "
tana requires approximately 1000. 900
baby chicks a year to maintain fiocks.
About two-thirds Of these chicks are now
furnished by commercial hatcheries, the
rest are Matched on the farms.
With the development of high stand
ards of quality which is expected to re-
suit from the work of the chick a~ssocia-
ton. 1t will be but a short time before
practically all Of the baby chicks required
to take care OF the needs of poultry foe
owners in Montana will come from COM
mercial ~hatcheries, Miss Cushman be-
@lieves. Poultry committees at the agri-
Montana last e a recommended the
purchase Of baby chicks from reliable,
accredited hatcheries over farm Matching
and the new organization is the first Or
ganized effort along this line, Miss Cush-
man advises.
Active work of the association will
start this fall with the establishment of
a system of inspection for poultry breed
ing flocks. This inspection is intended
to insure sufficient supplies of depend
able Matching eggs from ~disease-free,
standard bred fiocks to meet next
springs requirements. Local inspectors
will be employed under the direction of
the poultry department of the Montana
Extension service. TIE money needed
for this inspection will be obtained from
fees assessed against flock owners and
hatcheries. Hatcheries also will be sub
ject to inspection and chicks will be sold
according to grade.
