improved overnight. If only slightly.
The bulletin signed by Sir Hugh
Rigby. Sir Stanley Hewett and Lord

In spite OF the king having pass
ed a disturbed night. there is a
slight improvement in both the gen.
eral and local conditions"
Follow Apprehension
These welcome tidings came after
night during which public appre-
hension prevailed that the kings Ill
ness, after encouraging progress
over the weekend. might have taken
definite turn for the worse. Such
disquieting possibility was indicat-
ed to the popular mind by last
nights bulletin.
1t was understood that well-in-
formed quarters regarded the latest
bulletin as indicating the slight set
back reported last night was merely
temporary as had been hoped. 1t was
said that 1t represented part of the
ebb and flow which was to be ex-
pected.

the bulletin was issued. An anxious
crowd in front Of the palace had as
sumed considerable proportions
earlier than usual. despite the foggy
morning because Of renewed fears
that things within the palace were
not going well. The crowd was
greatly relieved when the doctors
report was posted with its more
favorable news.

REGISTERED SEED
ON THE INCREASE
LARGE PRODUCTION CALLS
FOR STRICT INSPECTION
JUNE 1ST LIMIT

All growers of registered SINAI
grain and alfalfa seed must nave
their applications for inspection
in at the office of the Montana
Seed Growers association, BoZe
man, on or before June /, advises
L. d. Kurtz, secretary of the asso
citation and extension agronomist
at Montana State college. The
prospects are that there will be
more pure seed fields and increas'
ed acreages, making it more ne
cessary than ever to arrange for
field inspections well in advance,
says the agronomist.
Over 1000 Fields
The business of pure seed pro-
duction has reached very stable
proportions in Montana. Last
year there were nearly 1000
fields passed inspection and many
more that failed to meet the
stringent rules laid down by the
organization and the agronomy
department of Montana State col
lege. This represents a develop
ment of 9 years as there were but
two fields of registered seed in
the state in 1919.
Applications for inspection I
expected from growers of Marquis
and Supreme wheat, Newland
flax, Victory and Markton oats,
Horn barley, and Grimm alfalfa
Roosevelt county. In all, it
will be the best balanced program
Of pure seed development carried
On in cooperation with the extern
sion service.
Rules and Fees
Registration rules for the com
ing season are much the same as
asst year, advises Mr.. Kurtz. The
only changes of consequence deal
with fees, these having been
increased to take are of

was the result of his observations
that most tourists welcome SER
vice and are willing to pay rea-
sonable rates for it. He doesn't
expect that his venture will pay
very much return on his invest
ment for a year or two. but he
hopes eventually to make it a
popular stopping place with a
wide reputation. He counts on
the Wolf Point bridge as a large
factor in this result.

Characteristic Fight
The state convention was in
session for five hours continuous
ly with three brief recesses dur
ing which very few delegates left
the Eddy rose room in which they
were meeting. There yer several
skrimishes between the dyed in
wool Smith men and the last ditch
Walsh men, when many verbal
passages at arms were made with
peace prevailing in the end. 1t
caused many to wonder what the
convention would have been like
if Senator Walsh had been a con-
tender for the outright indorse-
ment of his home states delega-
ton.
j. Bruce Kremer of Butte, demo-
cratic national committeeman
from Montana, and Senator Walsh
were elected delegates at large to
the Houston convention by ac-
clamation amid a Juror of APP
plause and shouting.
The presidential electors chosen
are: William NJ. Bole of Great
Falls, Mrs. Mary Simonson of
Butte, Pat Carney of Waterloo
and Walter L. Pope of Missoula.
Roosevelt county delegates to
this convention were VIM. Pow

LOCAL ATHLETE MAKES
GOOD AT STATE MEET

The paragraphs below are clip.
ped from the stories of the pre-
liminary trials at the interscolas-
tic meet at Missoula, published
in the Great Falls Tribune and
other state dailies. 1t was the
largest field of school athletes
ever brought together in the
state and the local boys work
showed well and made a distinct
impression Fred took third in
the finals of the event referred to
below:
"Laroque of Wolf Point is ex-
pected to give Fred Bennion, Jr..
of Bozeman, a great race in the
finals of the 120-yard high hur-
dies scheduled for Friday. La
rogue won his semi-final heat in
16.S seconds, while Bennion made
the distance in two-fifths of a
second less. Both these marks
are better than the state record
but were not allowed because of
a wind which was at the runners
backs. Wallinger of Havre tied
for third place in the second heat
and will be in the finals"
Twice the 12O hurdle record
was broken and once it was
equalled, but officials ruled the
new marks out because of heavy
wind. Bennion of Gallatin, grace
stick topper, equalled the rec
ord of II seconds made by Covert
of Billings in 1914 and equalled
three times since. With a beauti-
full, even stride, Laroque of Wolf
Point clipped t%wo-tenths of a
second from the old mark"

very happy, satisfactory election
year. According to leadres of the
