HORSFORD FORCES AIR
McCONE COUNTY ISSUES

In this issue Of the Herald the
Horsford for Commissioner Club
again uses space to get the truth
before the voters of McCone coun-
ty. The battle grows exciting with
a joint debate in prospect. When
it comes off, if it does, there will
be a big crowd up our way in at
tendance. We hope we hear of it
in time to reach the scene before
it's all over.
Some subjects of great impor-
tance to McCone county taxpayers
are discussed by the Horsford
folks this week and they deserve
the thoughtful attention of all our
McCone county readers. Up to
date it appears that Tom Hors
ford and his friends are several
laps in the lead but the other side
is yet to be heard from on the
matters under discussion, and the
folks across the river will anxious
Iy listen for the guns of the return
barrage.

LOAN PAYMENTS
FOLLOW BIG CROP.
(Great Falls Tribune)

Montana's state banks this year
will see the greatest liquidation
OF loans and the largest deposits
of any year in the history of their
operation, according to A. J. Loeb
rie, state examiner and superin-
tendent of banks. Mr.. Lochrie
was here with R. l.. Smith, deputy
state examiner, comforting with
local bankers.
General crop conditions with
the product naturally finding it's
way to markets will by the end of
the present year practically wipe
out those loans which were not
cleaned up with the excellent crops
of 1927, in the opinin Of the state
examiner A heavy delivery of
livestock, especially, lambs, is
noted in all parts of the state this
fall.
"The weather has been ideal for
harvest this year, affording the
grain growers an oportunity to get
their complete crop threshed and
either sold or under cover for a
later market" said Mr.. Lochrie.
ut is also gratifying to find no
poor crops in the state this year,
many fields running as high as 35
to 40 bushels to the acre.
There is a general good feeling
among bankers this fall brought
by the improved conditions. Peo-
pie are showing more confidence
in the banks as is shown by the
increase in deposits.
There have been no real bank
failures this year in Montana Or
any consequence, and taking it as
a whole the banking situation is
most satisfactory"

FARMERS MUST
LOOK TO HOOVER
LEAVITT CITES CANDIDATES.
WORK ALONG CONSTRUC-
TIVE LINES

LAVINA, Oct. 1S.- Herbert
Hoover has solved with distinc-
tion every problem he has under
taken. In his speech of accep-
tance he said solution of the farm
problem is the most important OBJ
legation of the next administra-
ton. This declaration by Hoover
and his plan for reorganization of
our marketing system appeal
strongly to the American elector-
ate, and particularly the farmers.
So spoke Congressman Scott
Leavitt in addressing voters of
Golden Valley county at a repub-
lican rally here Wednesday night.
The congressman himself the un-
animous choice of his party at the
July primaries for reelection,
pointed to the early life of hard
ship of Hoover in Iowa and Ore
gon, and his subsequent successes
in engineering and business enter
prises and philanthropic activities
during and after the world war, as
demonstrating outstanding and
tried qualities of leadership on the
part of the republican candidate
for president.
The election of Mr. Hoover was
predicted, and an appeal made for
the election to the senate and I
house at Washington of men who |
would support his policies. Par
ticular emphasis was placed on
the qualifications of Joseph M,
Dixon, the republican candidate
for senator, as shown by his SER
vice as congressman at large, SEN
ltor, and governor of Montana.
Mr. Leavitt's own candidacy for
to the house of repre-
is based on the slogan
hat ga record made is better
han promises"
Mr.. Leavitt is making from one
o four speeches daily, in support
# the entire republican ticket.
lis campaign will be concluded
November 5, when he will address
Great Falls audience. A huge
demonstration in rec
gnition of Mr.. Leavitt's services
5 being planned for the evening s
f November by his fellow
Ownsmen.

LIVESTOCK Train
DREW BIG CROWD

Last Saturday, date of the visit
of the State Livestock special
train, and opening day of the Sixth
Trade Carnival in Wolf Point,
brought throngs of visitors seldom
seen before, except at annual
court house and depot and special
train was mass of cars and
trucks
The very interesting and educa-
tional demonstration talks on cat
tie types, illustrated by living pic
lures of the types were made from
flat cars so that all could see. At
terward the crowds were invited
to pass through the train and see
the sheep and hogs and exhibits of
feed crops and the placarded in
formation about them. The whole
exhibit was splendidly prepared
and displayed. To get the benefit
it all held it had to be viewed. A
printed description is wholly in
adequate to convey what was in
tended. The only trouble was
the time was too short and the
crowd too big to get real chance
to see and study what was shown.
The train left for Glasgow about
noon Then the crowd was hailed
up town and given free lunch at
the Tourist park kitchen. 1t was
one of the biggest luncheon par
ties ever given in the town A
program of talks on Feed Crops
was advertised and carried out
but only a few farmers attended.
They believed they had seen and
heard enough and wanted to do
heir shopping.
The train was fine piece of
cooperative extension work by the
State college, the railroads and
he communities visited.
