COUNTY EXHIBIT AT
MONTANA STATE FAIR

Sheridan county will again have q
display at the Montana State Fair at
Helena, Sept. "a to %. The nature
of the exhibit that will be sent from
this county will be somewhat differ
ent from those sent in the past, in
that it will be a strictly advertising
in nature for Sheridan county. Coun-
ty Agent Ferguson who is in charge
of the exhibit with the assistance Of
Steve Slate and Harry DeSilvia, are
working on designs that will advertise
two of Sheridan County's major crops,
namely, spring wheat and flax. The
last five years this county ranked
first in comparison with all other
counties in the state in the produc-
ton of flax. For the past two years
ranked second in the production Of
spring wheat. Mr.. Ferguson is cap
italizing on these facts and these two
crops will be the feature of the state
fair exhibit. The plans for this ex-
hibit were worked out early in the
summer and submitted to several au-
thorities on display work in the state
and it was their opinion that such an
exhibit would be Of an excellent adj
vertising scheme for Sheridan county.
The entire collection will be brought
back from Helena and will be placed
on exhibit at the Sheridan county fair
which will be held from October 10 10
12.

REGULARS READY
TO WAGE BATTLE
in NORTH DAKOTA


Bismarck, Sept. 13.-North Dakota
republicans today had split over the
question Of supporting Herbert Hoov-
er for president.
The nonpartisan league faction of
the party was on record as refusing
to endorse Hoover's candidacy while
the independent republicans are back
ing him.
The action came yesterday at a
meeting, called to organize the repub-
lican state central committee. The in
dependents offered resolution en-
dorsing Mr.. Hoover and his stand on
agriculture. This vote was defeated
by vote of 10 to 8.
AS a result, the independents or
regular republicans" organized sep
arately and decided to carry on Wig
orous campaign for the national tick
ct.
The nonpartisans in their resolu
lions criticized Mr.. Hoover as stool
of big business" and asserted that the
republican party had strayed from its
original course. The resolutions made
it clear that the action was intended
to show a lack of faith in the republi-
can party and its candidates rather
than an endorsement of All Smith.
The regulars" were defeated by
the committee members from districts
which had been hostile to the present
Coolidge administration and the nom
nation of Mr.. Hoover.
The democratic state central COM
mittee also met yesterday and unani-
mously placed its approval on the
party's national platform and ticket
headed by AL Smith for president and
j. I. Robinson for vice president.
The question Of agricultural relief
is the great issue before the people
according to the committees resolution
which added that "the democratic ma.
tional convention has promised an or.
ganization through which agriculture
may work out and apply its own rem,
edies as well as receiving government
aid through federal farm board"

REGISTERED WHEAT
RETURNS BIG YIELD

One of the largest yields that has
been reported in Sheridan county was
secured by Lars Angvick of Reserve,
on sixty five acres Of registered mar
quis wheat which yielded 50 bushels
per acre. Mr.. Angvick grew his reg
istered marquis wheat on OVERLAND
breaking. 1t was seeded with a press
drill which resulted in a very uniform
stand throughout the 65 acres. When
l.. ID. Kurtz, extension agronomist,
inspected Mr.. Angvick's field in July
he said that it was the best field Of
registered marquis wheat that he had
inspected up to that time. Mr.. Ang-
wick has been a registered wheat
grower for the past several years and
takes a great deal of pride in the
production Of pure seed of high quail
ity. During the heading season he
spends a great deal of time in the
field hand picking any mixture and
weeds that would show in the field.
The entire Lot Of registered wheat was
binned on Mr.. Angvick's farm and will
be sold as registered marquis wheat
to farmers in Sheridan county.

tunity for the candidates to meet and
address voters.
Republican State Chairman Hallett
Brown of Billings has opend state
headquarters in the Montana building,
Helena, and expects his organization
to get into full swing this week.
Charles I. Nevin, state chairman for
the democratic party, said, following
the state meeting, that he would get
MS organization into action as soon
as 1t can be completed.
Interest in the national campaign
was heightened by announcements
that Montana voters will hear both
Gov. AL Smith and Sen. Charles e.
Curtiss. Gov. Smith will speak at
Helena Sept. "a and will make brief
stops but no speeches at Billings and
Butte. Senator Curtis plans to speak
at Hardin and Billings.
At Hardin, in the center of the
Crow and North Cheyenne Indian
country, it is expected that the sena-
tor himself of Indian ancestry, will
attract much attention from the ma
tive population. An effort is being
made to induce Mr.. Hoover to visit
Montana toward the close of the cam
paign as he returns from the east to
California to vote.
In the meantime the national cam
paign is getting under way. Under
the general supervision of DIR. T. J
B. Stanley of Butte, Smith clubs are
being organized by Lester Lobe of
Helena apd Mrs. r. C. Battey of Bill
lings; Democratic veterans clubs by
JOHN Mahan Of Helena, and First Vo-
ters clubs in the interests of the same
party by e. Pat Kelly of Livingston.
Nor is the doctrine of the brown
derby the only one to be impressed
on the voters, J. J. Wuerthner, state
senator from Cascade county, heads a
volunteer Hoover urtiss organization
with Mrs. j. e. Patton Of Great Falls
as vice chairman; w. J. Paul of Deer
Lodge and w. r. Flaschenhar of Ter.
ry, chairman in their respective con-
gressional districts, and a dozen
prominent citizens included in the ex-
ecutive committee.
