Displaying a superior brand of under

scattering and husbands hopping their
foreheads, Mrs. Robert E. Freer, wife of
an attorney for the Interstate Com
merce Commission, captured the Lyon
Village long distance rolling-pin- hurting
contest at the Lyon Village carnival
grounds last night.
Mrs. Freer, slim brunette with a
boyish bob and one of the lightest of
the dozen contestants, heaved the heavy
pin a distance of Sc feet and 3 inches
Mrs. Freer was showered with con-
gratulations by feminine admirers, while
the men crowded around her husband,
standing at a respectful distance, and
offered their condolences. The latter
said he was considering formation OF a
husbands protective league.
IT really didn't know l could do It, -
the new champion stated after the con-

HOOVER HASTENS
WORK ON BUDGET
Getting Department Affairs in
Shape Preparatory to Retire
ment From Cabinet.

Secretary Hoover, Republican standard
bearer, today worked over his budget,
but the Job was in no way connected
with his campaign for the presidency.
It was the annual budget of the De-
partment of Commerce which claimed
the attention of the Republican candi-
date, and he forsook political prob
lens in order to plunge into the task.
The budget task Is one Of the last
obstacles standing between Hoover and
release from cabinet responsibilities, and
he entered into the undertaking with
a will. He Is determined to leave his
office at the department In the best
of order before he hands his resigna-
ton to President Coolidge at the Sum-
mer White House next week, and &C
cordingly he is spending many hours
with his departmental assistants in an
effort to close up the affairs of his post.
Brown His Chief Aid.
He is being aided in the budget by
Walter r. Brown, Assistant Secretary Of
Commerce, who has been mentioned
prominently as prospective successor
to his chief. Even the work of writing
his acceptance speech was sacrificed
yesterday and today to the budget work
Hoover has not decided how he will
spend the Fourth of July tomorrow.
His aides have suggested that he take
rest from the trying whirl Of activ-
ity at the department and depart for
a cruise down the Potomac on the Kill
kenny, ship belonging to the Naviga-
tional Bureau of the Department of Com
merce. The suggestion so far has met
with no definite response, and it is
likely that the Secretary will spend
most of the holiday at his home.
Receives Political Advice.
Hoover interrupted his departmental
duties long enough to talk briefly today
with several political advisers and
friends. Representative Wood, Repub-
lican. of Indiana gave him a report
on the political outlook In his State.
Others who saw Hoover included
James B. Reynolds, who managed the
Coolidge campaign in 1920; Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney
General and ardent Hoover booster:
William s. Culbertson, new Ambas-
of New York, and Herbert Pennock,
pitcher for the New York Yankees, who,
like Hoover, Is a Quaker, and who
wished to pay his respects.
Chairman Work Expected Soon.
Having submitted his resignation to
the President as Secretary of the In
terror, Chairman Work Of the Repub-
lican national committee, is expected
to return here Thursday and advise
Mr.. Hoover of the part that President
Coolidge will play in the forthcoming
campaign. Hoover will see the Presi-
dent a few days later for the
purpose of handing in his own letter
of resignation. Hoover expects to leave
Washington about July 10.

Play "Chuckle-up."
A game Of "chuckle-up" or hazard
was begun. The game is played with
three dice manipulated by the housf

lies on the table The chart Is divided
into two sections called low and high
fields Bets laid in either field pay
even money. Any number under IL Is
In the low field Eleven or higher is
In the high field. Numbers from l to

begin to range from anywhere from 2

Der pays are stamped on the chart

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
BEEF RUSTLERS
WORKING AGAIN

Ugh price of beef, which aused
II talk of a boycott in some eastern
cities, is said to be having the good
effect OF putting cattle raisers ono
more on their feet. Not only cattle rails
ers. but cattle rustlers as we'll, If one Is
to believe reports emanating from the
Deer Lodge valley.
According to residents in that section
1t is common rumor about the country
side that a we~ll-organized body OF rust
lers is again killing stock on the range
between Anaconda n Deer Lodge. and
in several cases nCrth of the latter place.
There are several who openly voice the
belief that h gang which is reported to
be operating is the same one that has
been stealing stock lately in Jefferson
county. where the commissioners, in an
effort TO protect the legitimate stock
ralsers. have offered a reward OF $500 for
the arrest and conviction of any one
guilty of cattle stealing in that county
Three Jefferson county stock owners have
offered an additional reward. and the
Whitehall Stock association has offered a
$500 reward for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of any one
guilty OF stealing cattle which belong to
the members OF the association.
Drastic Measures Needed
1t Is the contention of the Deer Lodge
valley stockmen that some drastic meas
ure is necessary to COPE with the situa-
ton. While the present state avs allow
for the appointment of deputy stock in
spectors. no one cares to accept such po-
sition in view of the small return for
service rendered. No mileage is allowed
and the fee for inspecting killed beef
o not keep the average mar in chew
ing tobacco, they claim. Every time a
bevy Of the valley residents chance to
meet, the subject comes up for discus
sion, and 1T is not all uncommon to heal
names OF persons mentioned suspected
of killing cattle on the RANGES and dis
posing OF the meat In Anaconda, Deer
Lodge and Butte.
With the law such as it is. there is
only one method left that will be of prac-
tical use, until the statutes can be
amended at the next session Of the legis-
lature,' one prominent valley resident
recently informed a newspaper represen-
tative. is to engage a man, have
him sworn in as a deputy inspector OF
sheriff, and put him out on the range,
Let him give his entire time to the mat
ter. which is becoming serious. Such q
deputy should be thoroughly familiar
with conditions and the county he is to
patrol, and not afraid to go after the
thieves in a way that shows he means
business. He should be in position to
furnish his own car and saddle horses,
n give his entire time to the problem.
Such a man would be worth paying a
salary, and !, for one, am willing to con-
tribute to a fund to hire him. Some
thing has got to be done, that is GER
tain
Further inquiry led to the securing of
information hat a number Of cattle were
killed recently on the range In the vicin-
ity Of Race Track, and all indications are
that the killings were made by the same
