I'm in wisconsin the Democrats are
wooing the La Toilette Progressive vote
In that state and in other States the
Democrats are making a play, not only
for the La Toilette vote, but also fol
the German American vote. Some o.
the Republicans are saying that TIT
followers of Senator La Toilette II
Wisconsin perhaps have forgotten I'M
rowgh ride that Democrats gave I'M
late Senator La Toilette when there
was a demand for his expulsion IRON
the Senate, In 1917, because OF M
st. Paul speech in september OF ina
year. which his critics insisted was pro
German. When a resolution OF tint
Minnesota Commission Of Public Safet!
was laid before the Senate urging TIT
EXPULSION of Senator La Toilette, Sen
ator La Toilette delivered an address
defending himself and the right OF fre'
speech. Senator Robinson of Arkansas
the Democratic candidate for Vice
President this year, was one OF thoS'
who undertook to criticize Senator
La Toilette severely on the floor OF TIT
Senate.
For more than a year the resolution
regarding Senator La Toilette lay dor
mant in the Senate committee on priv
ileges and elections. Indeed, 1t wal
not until January, 1919, a1Ler the Ces'
sation of hostilities, that 1t was resur'
rected, and a report was made to TIT
Senate by the late Senator Dnlingha1
of Vermont declaring that the speech
delivered by Senator La Toilette at st
Paul did not justify any action by thu
Senate. The report of the Senate COM
mittee was thereupon adopted by 9 vot'
of so to 81, 33 Republicans voting ir
favor of the resolution and II Demo
Gratis. while 20 Democrats voted againSt
it and were joined by ] Republican
former Senator Smith of Michigan. The
Democratic candidate for Vice President
the Republicans say. would have voted
against the resolution and Senator La
Toilette had he been present. AS 1t was
he was recorded as paired with Sena'
tor Hardwick of Georgia, who was ir
favor of the resolution and would have
supported 1t had he been present.

AMERICAN FOREST
WEEK APRIL 22-28

Further details of the obser
vance of American Forest week
April 22-2S in Montana, have been
announced by Rutledge Parker,
state forester and chairman of
the Montana activities. Free
planting is to be the theme of the
week.
In a large part of our state no
forests exist, but the planting of
groves and shelter belts and trees
for home decoration is essential
to the permanent up-building of
that part of the state. A real home
without trees is hardly possible.
and it seems appropriate at this
time, when the state and the ma
tional government are establish
ing a nursery to supply planting
stock for farm woodlots and shell
ter belts, that emphasis be placed
on tree planting as one of the
most effective things that can be
to improve home surround
ings and living conditions in Mon
tana.
Contest For Students
A new feature of the observance
If the week this year, Mr.. Parker
is a statewide essay contest
or high school students. Eigh-
cen cash awards will be made.
With a first prize of $500. The
Students will have a choice of
our subjects on which to write,

MONTANA COLLEGE HEAD
TALKS TO new WORKERS.

Competition from at least three
major sources will force farmers
to make readjustments in their
farming programs and farming
methods, according to DR.. Alfred
Atkinson, president of Montana
State college, in an address before
New York farmers at Cornell Uni
v~ersity recently. DR.. Atkinson is
on a years leave of absence from
the Montana institution.
The competition to be expected,
said the speaker, will come from
new agricultural areas, from in
creased production of high quail
ity products and from increased
specialization which is bringing
about lower production costs.
Methods Increase Production IL
Using Canada as an illustration,
he pointed out that this country
exported $4,000, 900 bushels of
wheat in 1914 and 800, 900, 900
bushels in 1926. Russia, he stat
I'd, is likely to come back into
production resulting in increased

states in the Rocky
fountain area production has in
reased from 5000, 900 bushels
4 1910 to $4,000, 900 bushels in
927, said the speaker. This in
rease has come about largely
trough the use of improved ma
which has resulted in
'wer production costs which in
I'm has helped to offset the long
stance from market in this area.
Advantage In Quality

Through The Great Waterways of
The Far North
by c. j. Fereuson)

Edgar Hay, invited him to come
in and hide a few groceries" He
was greatly surprised to learn
that the lake was frozen beyond
that point and that he would have
been unable to have padded an
other hundred yards before en-
countering solid ice.
Though that rocky point was
about the last place on earth we
could have expected to meet. we
were nevertheless glad to see
each other again. Very nearly the
whole night was spent sitting
around the campfire explaining to
each other what it was all about.
1t appears that his delay was due
to travelling with a man who was
scared to death of the dig lake
with the result that two full
weeks were sometimes spent, tied
up in some sheltered pot while
waiting for a perfect day to ven
ture on the lake.
Coming up the rapids, Edgar
had a very heavy oad,-including
ultra-modern radio, specially
constructed for him by a Califor-
mia concern-in a light hunting
canoe and reported having the
toughest trip of his whole career.
He brought a couple of letters for
me-the last mail to be received
until we make the long trip to the S
at Christmas. l
Battles With Ice {
By the 18th a heavy wind and i
ain had apparently opened a S
