REV. HANNAH HOME
FROM HIS VACATION

Rev. G. G. Hannah, who has been on
vacation from his regular church
duties, returned with his family last
week from Luccock Park Epworth
League Institute. The Institute is an
annual camp conducted by the Metho-
dist church for its young people, and
three OF, these are held in different
parts of the state. Luccock Park,
owned by the Church, is a beautiful
piece Of land, forty acres in extent,
located twelve miles south of Living
ston, just two miles off the Yellow
stone Park highway. Adjoining it to
the eastward is the Absarokee Forest,
and in the background tower lofty
mountain peaks. Even to people who
come from mountainous parts of the
state these mountains are impressive,
but those who come from the eastern
end of the state stand and gaze in
awe Some Of those who come have
never seen mountain until they get
as far west on their trip as Billings.
Rev. Hannah served on the Insti-
tute faculty, having a class in the
subject, Making our Recreation More
Christian and directing the recrea-
tional activities of the one hundred
and seventy delegates to the camp.
This makes the fifth year Rev. Han
nan has acted in this capacity.

TWO BOYS ATTEND

Last week Rev. Hannah spent some
time at the Boy Scout camp that was
held at the grounds above Richel
Lodge. Two boys from Troop were
in attendance at the camp throughout
the three-week period, George Free
man and Tom Hannah, The boys adj
vanced splendidly in Scouting, George
Freeman coming back with eight
merit badges and Thomas Hannah
with six, in addition to their rank as
First Glass scouts. Both boys have
met the requirements for Star Scouts,
except that of three months service
as First Glass scouts, and are on their
way to that rank of Life Scout. Tests
passed by the boys include such sub
jects as Pioneering, Pathfinding,
Leathercraft, Wood carving, Public
Health, etc.
Rev. Hannah, who conducted reli-
gious service for the boys last Sunday

a huge success, under the able leader

MANY INTERESTED
IN STOCK MEETING

Fifty interested farmers and ranch
ers were in attendance at the Dairy
Sheep Meeting held at the courthouse
Friday evening August 2.
c. w. Conger, local Smith Hughes
instructor, was chairman of the meet
ing. J. O. Tretsyen, Dairy Specialist,
Bozeman, discussed the place of the
dairy COW in Carbon county, stressing
the Importance Of the use of high
class, pure bred sires coming from
high producing ancestry Mr.. Trets-
ven discussed the matter of shipping
in dairy cattle and warned against
the shipment of mature COWS, stating
that heifers of s and 18 months of
age from high producing dams were
much better proposition since the
buyer runs less chance of securing the
culls from someone's herd elsewhere
and that the percentage of diseased
animals is less in young stock.
Irving J. Courtice, Agricultural De-
velopment Agent, Northern Pacific
Railway, discussed the small farm
flock of sheep project, outlining the
salient success of this project in
North Dakota, Minnesota, and East
ern Montana. Mr.. Courtiee states
that the territory adjacent to Red
Lodge is one of the finest grass coun-
tries he has ever seen and feels that
small farm flocks of sheep will fit
nicely into the scheme of agriculture
in Carbon county, especially in the
and irrigated regions.
He explained the various schemes of
the small farm flock pro-
ject, mentioning the local finance in
the securing of sheep on
the share basis, and explained the
Agricultural Credit Corporation and
their scheme of finance.
A goodly number of farmers present
showed interest in adding more dairy
stock and small flocks of sheep and
was set up for pursuing
this project, locating, financing, and
the desired live stock.
Mr.. Conger, the local Smith Hughes
instructor, who is member of the
local committee boosting the project,
is in position to furnish information
to interested farmers and ranchers
who were not in attendance at the
meeting.

NOTED CHARACTER
TO VISIT RED LODGE

"Deadwood Dick" what a name to
coniure with. The youth of today
only hears the echo of that name, but
the man of 80 knows there was such
character. He reads it in the old
yellow-backed dime novels and while
he hardly believed that so many
scalps had been raised by Dick, still
he was confident there was such per-
son. And there was, and he is still
alive today
"Deadwood Dick" will visit Red
Lodge with the caravan that is cover
ing this country from the Black Hills
country next week In the spring a
number of cars left Billings for trip
to the Black Hills and among those
going was J. P. Plunkett of our city.
AS a youth he lived in the Black
Hills and he knew both Deadwood
Dick and "Silver Tip" another noted
frontier character. Both these men
will accept the invitation to visit us
and they will ride in the front or lead
car with w. D. Fisher, secretary of
the Custer Battlefield Highway.

PLENTY OF GRAFTERS
BUSY IN MILES CITY

miles City," said a business man
last week, lis the mecca for all those
seeking easy money, and apparently
this must be a very fertile field" he
continued, for they all seem to get
out of here with the earnings of the
merchants
The latest alleged advertising stunt
was cover of some sort to be used
to inclose the theme sheets of the
students of the grade and county
schools. The promoter of the stunt
guaranteed the advertisers a circula-
tion of $4,000 of these covers. In
reality he placed an order with a
printer for 1000. In making his ap-
peal to the merchants he represent
ed that he had letter of recommen-
dation from the county superintend-
ent of schools. The high school di-
rectors had previously turned down
a similar proposition.
This is but one Of the very many
schemes of the kind that has drawn
a lot of money out of Miles City this
year. Greater Montana Incorporated,
an absolute fake, got away with about
5000 easy money. Following this
came magazine stunt which raked
in another $500, the advertising in
which was absolutely valueless to 10
cal houses. Then came along a slick
er with bill of fare for local res
taurant. He collected a considerable
sum from merchants for advertising,
but the fellow nor his "bill of fare
cover" have never been seen or heard
of since.

misrepresentation to those not ac-
quainted with what stocks and the like
kind of paper is, sells such paper to
ignorant people. Misrepresentation
may not be resorted to, but the lack
of definite information leads to the
same result. No one should buy
shares or stock until the advise of
one competent to pass upon same has
been secured.
Further as to the Deseret company
is the following by Wilbur M. Krie-
ger in the Mortuary magazine for
July 1929.
Three years ago the Deseret Nor
tuary brought forth its original GER
tificate plan. This was an attempt to
control volume and reduce operating
overhead, at the same time, building
up an operating fund at the expense
of the public. 1t is useless to go into
great detail on this plan, because it
is generally known to the funeral di-
recting profession. Their certificate
sold to the public for $50. This sum
entitled the purchaser or any member
of his family to a funeral service at
cost plus 10 per cent They posted no
reserve to guarantee the future carry
ing out of the contractual obligations,
nor would they specify as to what
basis was to be used in the compila-
tion of cost. They attempted to
branch out from their original estab-
lishment in Utah and were stopped in
California, Oregon and Washington
through combination of blue-sky
laws and unfavorable public opinion
created by the activities of the Better
Business Bureau. They did succeed in
establishing their organization in
Montana and are now operating only
in Montana and Utah. Montana has
recently passed legislation aimed at
controlling this organization and Utah
has very definitely placed them under
the jurisdiction Of the State Securities
Commission
Don't be afraid Of the men who con-
duct businesses in your midst. They
will treat you with not only Difference
but with compassion at the time of
trouble and grief. Don't listen to the
men who make their money by knock
ing the man who is your friend.
We might add that the matter of
such campaigns as outlined above was
taken up during the last session of the
Montana legislature and law was
passed making it unlawful for any
person, firm, corporation, association,
or other entity and their en-
ployes, agents or other representative
who shall solicit or induce the making
of any written contract in this Act
declared to be unlawful, or who shall
accept any fee, money, or other valua-
ble thing for or on account of anv such
contract shall be guilty of n1isde-
meanor and upon conviction shall be
punished for each offense by fine of
not to exceed one thousand dollars or
by Imprisonment in the county Jail
for not more than one year, or both"
