NATIONS BEST ENTERED
CHICAGO o. SHOW
HELD HI

From New York to California and
from Manitoba to the Mexican border
the choicest of horses, cattle, sheep
and swine will be assembled for the
opening of the Goth International
Live Stock Exposition in Chicago on
December l.
Secretary Manager B. H. Heide an
nounces that the total number of en-
tries, both of live stock and in the
grain and hay department, are the
largest ever received. Upon this he
bases the opinion that the coming ex-
position, scheduled December | to 8,
will surpass all that have gone be-
fore it in the quantity Of its exhibits
and in their quality as well-entries
for the most prominent state fair
winners on last falls circuits having
been received.
Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1928-11-15

According to the secretary's fig
ures, there are several hundred more
entered in the individual live stock
classes than any time before. Short
horns lead their last years lineup
by nearly 100 head, with a total of
642. "NVhite Faces" will number 422;
and the Aberdeen-Angus breed will
be represented by SAG choice individ-
uals. Hampshires head the swine
breeds for numbers, with 1874, and the
Chester Whites are second with 212.
A total of 1440 will take part in this
division of the show.
Introduce Foreign Champions
The pastoral picture will have in it
200 more units than were to be seen
last year, with a total Of 1403 sheep.
Of these the Shropshire breed will
be in the majority, represented by 233
head. P~ercherons and Belgians again
lead the draft horse breeds as to
number. In the Belgian and Perch
eron rings several illustrious show
animals will be introduced to Ameri-
can horse show rings for the first

While the business of the day, on
the surface at least, was to cement
again the friendly relations that have
had much to do with the millions
both promoter and boxer have made
together, Richard said the business of
a comeback would be discussed later.
But, in accordance with his canny
policy of getting the most from his
publicity assets, he said there would
be no definite announcement for
several days" at least.
The promoter said he had but two
courses open in the event that Demp-
sey did decide to return to the ring.
One would be the announcement that
the old champion, twice the victim of
the retired Gene Tunney, was ready
and willing to Eighth the winner of
the winter elimination tournament in
a title battle next summer. His 9TH
er plan would call for Withholding Of
any announcement until the elimina-
tion parade ends.
Both the Maestro, Richard ano
Dempsey, the greatest ring attraction
of all time, believe that the present
lull in the heavyweight situation is
temporary and awaits only the an
pearance of an iron-fsted youngstel
to. again make possible million dol
lar gates and purses. Richard be-
lieves that Jack still has the power
to lure immense numbers of fight
fans to the turnstiles.
Dempsey smiled at that but was
ready to demand at least $500 0(
for his services once the promoter
opened negotiations.

co. LIBRARY NOTES

The library has added several new
children's books to its collection.
Among these new books are:
Patches" by Clarence Hawkes..
Patches is "A mustang, a broncho, or
a cayuse, but most of all he is a low
able horse, a courageous horse and
of almost human intelligence. Mr..
Hawkes. wildly describes the origin
and development Of the cattle indus
try of the Middle West.
"Winnie-the- Pooh," by A. A. Milne.
The book contains stories of his toy
animals told to Christopher Robin by
his father.
"When We Were Very Young" by
A. A.. Milne. 1t is said that no book
for children in many years has been
so deservedly successful as this. The
illustrations are as perfect as the
poem.
1.-THE Lone Scout of the Sky" by
James E. West. This is the boys
story of Charles A. Lindbergh by the
Chief Scout executive of the Boy
Scouts Of America. 1t is a book that
every boy who likes a thrilling tale
Of Z hero will want to read.
"The Aliens and Aunt Hannah" by
Clara D. Dillingham;. This is a sim
pie wholesome story concerned with
the Plucky Aliens and their happy
Christmas and the development Of
their playground, 1.-THE Valley Of
Content" 1t ends with an account
OF the wedding of their friend, the
school teacher and Uncle David.
"The Singing Farmer" by James
S. Tippett. This is a reader for the
very young children in which farm
life is depicted by short, rhythmic stor-
les, very simple as to content, vocab-
ulary and structure. The Illustrations
are attractive and helpful.

time, they being recently imported
from across the water after winning
at the Brussels Show in Belgium and
the national French expositions. When
the light horse and car load lot en-
tries, which close later on, are added,
the total number of animals on ex-
hibit will be around the 10000 mark,
declares Mr.. Heide.
Wool Show Added
A new note in the 1923 Information
al will be sounded in the form of a
Wool Show. 1t has been planned to
encourage the production of better
wool, as we'll as to improve on the
methods ordinarily used in preparing
fleeces for market.
In the Grain and Hay Show, which
has grown to be the largest display of
forage products in the world, over
5000 samples will be on view. The
fact that samples are on the way
from the Canadian provinces, as we'll
as Australia and New South Wales,
gives this part of the exposition a
truly international significance.

100 PERISH WHEN SHIP SINKS
OFF ATLANTIC COAST, SUNDAY P. NJ.

More than 200 of the 339 passen-
gers and crew of the steamer Vestris
who abandoned their sinking ship off
the Virginia capes Sunday were res
cued Wednesday, but for the rest,
some Of whom could be seer floating
dead upon the stormy waters, there
was almost no hope.
As darkness of the second night
since the castaways took to life boats
and a makeshift raft settled over the
gray waters, Vice Admiral Taylor of
the battleship Wyoming reported by
wireless that it was not thought pos
sible any more of the u%naccounted for
were living and that he was leaving
the scene of the disaster.
If the admiral's belief proves to
have been well founded the death list
will be in the neighborhood of 100.
The American Shipper, first to
reach the scene, reported rescue of 1913
persons, 80 of them passengers. When
the list of rescued passengers was
received by wireless, however, there
were SO names and it was not clear
whether this altered the total or was
balanced by a similar change in the
crew.
The liner Berlin rescued % persons
and started for New York, where it
was expected to arrive about s o'clock

dard varieties of corn grown in this
district have been listed There is
also going to be a Potato Show with
a class for certified seed and an open
class for commercial potatoes in
which growers of Bliss Triumphs,
Irish Cobblers or Melted Gems may
enter exhibits Forty potatoes will
constitute an exhibit except in the All
class in which only twenty potatoes
are required Bliss Triumphs, being
the leading variety produced in this
section, will be featured with larger
cash premiums than are offered for
the Cobblers or Gems.
Since the common alfalfa and sweet
clover industry is vital to Montana's
agriculture, an open class for seed of
this kind is again a part of the show.
A gallon constitutes a. exhibit.
Montana is considered an outstand-
ing state in the production of high
quality milling wheat, ranking low in
the percentage Of dockage shipped to
terminal markets. This is partly due
to much new, clean land being brot
under cultivation each year but prin-
cipally to the system of maintaining
registered and approved seed supplies
produced by growers who cooperate
with the Extension Service in pro-
ducing and distributing high quality
seed grains to the commercial grow
ers. Since Marquis and supreme
wheats are the two leading CONNER
cial varieties and which are produced
in much larger quantities than any
of the other wheats, seven cash
prizes will be awarded for the best
exhibits in Marquis and Supreme, the
first prize being ten dollars. In ad-
dition to this there will be several
special prizes. 1t is hoped that
farmers in the district will all CO.
operate with their county extension
agents, under whose management the
show is conducted, in assembling for
exhibition the best seed the state OF
Montana has to offer.

TEX AND DEMPSEY IN CONFERENCE;
PROSPECTS GOOD FOR Ex-CHAMPIONs
COMEBACK, ACCORDING TO RICHARD

New York.-Two wealthy business
men sat down Tuesday to discuss
through the smoke of mild Havanas
everything pertaining to the fight
game except the chances of one of
them, Jack Dempsey, returning to
active competition.
The boss of Madison Square Gar
den, tanned to about half the COM
plexion of his cigar, came back to his
desk after a six weeks vacation in
Florida. His return was the signal
for the prompt appearance of Demp-
sey and revival of the rumors of a
new comeback attempt to be staged
by the old Manassas mauler next sum-
mer.
For more than two hours, Dempsey,
in a most congenial and receptive
mood, talked of fights and fighters
with Richard and a host of news
papermen.
He discussed the advantages of
Florida as a winter training ground,
analysed the fighting qualities of
Pauline Uzcudun and agreed the
Spaniard would be an ideal opponent
in the event of a comeback.
The former champion was careful
to avoid mention of his oft-reiterated
statement that he was Through with
he ring forever" He appeared rest
less, anxious to find an outlet for the
nervous energy that keeps him con
tinually con the 60" When he had
left the room Richard smiled a be-
nign smile and said:
"A few more months and the big
fellow will be begging for a fight. He
just can't stay inactive"

Wednesday morning.
The tanker Myriam saved Ga per-
son and the battleship Wyoming
picked up eight. There was one re-
port that a dead mar had been found
by the Wyoming but direct messages
from the battleship made no mention
of this.
This would give a total of PIT or
222 (according to Interpretation of
the reports from the American Ship

counted for.
The complete story of the hard
ships which the rescued must have
endured before they were saved can
not yet be told, for the air and all
available radio facilities have been
needed in the work of life saving,
but a few bits have come through
to indicate the sort of thing that
must have been general.
Clings to Beam
One man pulled from a beam to
which he was clinging for his life
told of floating past a raft on which
a woman-and she must have been
drenched for the waves were running
high-sat with two children. Search
was begun for them but no reports
Of their being found come in. A

ers' Association. These exhibits are

the Bozeman office of the associa-
ton for purity and termination tests

State Seed Show. If there are any
registered or approved groves who

Piles they are urged to do so at once.
No cash prizes are awarded in the
State Seed Show but ribbons and
trophies are given the winners in the
various classes.
The Northern Montana Corn and
Pure Seed Show which will be held

the Berlin told how Carl Schmidt, a
third class passenger from Chicago,
was saved after % hours in the wa
ter, sustained only by a lifebelt in
the tossing waves. And yet Schmidt
was included in the % persons saved
by the Berlin of whom Captain Won
Thalen reported "all safe and sound"
AS the rescue fleet still patrolled
the waters off the Virginia coast
Tuesday in hope of finding more of
the castaways the navy ordered the
dirigibe Los Angeles to fly to the
scene to offer what assistance it
might. This order, however, later
was countermanded when rescue ships
reported all lifeboats had been ac-
counted for and little hope remained
for members of the ships company
who had not been picked up.
What lingering hope there was
that those umrescued yesterday could
survive another night was lessened
by reports of the weather. Captain
Won Thalen radioed that there were
very strong northerly winds with
high seas, no sort Of weather for men
and women and children already
weakened by a day and a half in
