The Montana s1ate interschoIastic
music meet Will be held In Helena
March 20, 20, 80 and 81. 1t promises
to be a larger M better meet Than
was held in Livingston In 1927 and

cessfully," said Principal A. J. Roberts
of the Helena high school. Last year
there were 80 schools entered In the
meet-this year the number has been
increased to 40.
THE expense is usually borne by the
of season tickets which include
seven or eight exceptionally interesting
events. 1t is sort of a three-ring circus
where the ticketholder may attend any
one of the three meets at each session.
After the meet in Livingston last year
V. Brown, principal Of the Park coun-
ty high school. said that while 1t en-
tailed a good deal of work and seemed
discouraging at the time, in retrospect 1t
was n of the best things ever staged
IN Livingston and has given an impetus
to music n art which will be felt in
that city for a generation to come.
1T is the custom of the town where
the meet is held to inc room and break
laSl lor the contestants III private MONIES
to the limit OF 80 from any one school
and to furnish the same number with
tickets for lunch and dinner The fol-
schools have entered the meet and
are sending two TO 55 contestants:
Anaconda, Augusta, Belgrade, Belt, Bill
Townsend, Browning, Butte. Eka-
laka, Cascade, Columbus. Corvallis, Miles

ING PROGRAM

The organization of an incor-
porated association which will
market turkeys for growers in
Sheridan, Roosevelt, and Daniels
counties was decided upon at a
