Arthur Nolan, of st. Paul, Mimi, a
stranger spent a very lively hour on
the streets of Red Lodge yesterday
At the end of that time he landed in
the county bastile, charged with the
theft of two suits of clothes, which
he picked up on his way out of the
local ]. G. Penney store, after he had
purchased two 19c handkerchiefs.
He evidently knew what he was
doing for when Sheriff John Albert
took him into custody he made the
statement that he could not be charg-
ed with more than petit larceny.
When the suits were checked up il
was found that one of them cost $19.-
rs, and the other $24.75. County
Attorney E. P. Conwell filed a com.
plant against the stranger charging
him with petit larceny.
Sheriff Albert, who was passing
the store in an automobile, as one
of the clerks was going to the court
house to get an officer, took charge
of the prisoner, who had been taker
back to the store by j A. Tuott. He
was apprehended at the post office
where he went after leaving the store
One of the girls in the store noticed
Nolan as he put the two suits inside
of an overcoat he was carrying, and

Fergus and Custer counties have
employed county E~gents continuous
ly for 10 years and 81 of the 35
agents in the state are working coun-
ties that have had the work for 10
years or more. Most of the cost has
been borne by the counties and is pur-
ely an optional obligation. Most
boards of county commissioners are
sound and conservative and will not
continue to make expenditures not
demanded by law that the people do
not consider justifiable.
Would County Agent Work Be Worth
While in Carbon County?
This question was discussed from
every angle at three meetings held
in the county a couple of weeks ago
at Fromberg, Joliet and Belfry, I'M
der the auspices Of the Farmers
Union. Fred Bennion, Nominal coun-
ty agent leader, outlined the reasons
why he believed this county should
employ an agent. At each meeting
questions asked by farmers disclosed
keen interest in the question. About
a month ago a similar meeting was
held at Belfry, where very favor
able attitude toward county agent
work has existed for some time. Mr.

;TAT% COUNTY AGENT LEADER TELLS
- .>MERS AT MEETING THE ADYANT-
AGES OF SCIENTIFIC FARMING, ETC.

Through the courtesy of Fred Ben
Mon, county agent leader, of the CO.
operative extension work in agricul-
ture and home economies, Montana
State College and the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, the Carbon
County News has been enabled to
publish the address in full, which was
delivered by Mr.. Bennion at the Car
bon County Farmers Union meetings
which were held at Fromberg, Joliet
and Roberts, March 20, 81, and %.
Mr.. Bennion is a very capable and
talented speaker and his address was
both instructive and interesting to
his audiences. His address follows:
What Will County Agent Work
Cost in Carbon County? is one of
the most common questions. Farm
ers are already bearing heavy tax
burden and hesitate to undertake any
additional tax burdens. County ag-
ent work in most counties is main
tanned out of the general fund and in
Carbon as in some other counties may
not mean any additional tax. In a
few counties a special lay is made.
If this were done in Carbon, a one
half mill tax would be necessary to
properly finance the work. Out OF
each 500 taxes paid about 80 cents
would go for county agent work. This
will raise about $500 which with
some state and federal money would
be enough to properly finance the
work.
The expense would include salary
of agent which would depend upon
how good a man Carbon wanted. A
county agent is not a county official,
but a hired, skilled employee and US
ually it is better economy to employ
a good man at an adequate salary
than it is to hire a less experienced
man at lower rate. About $1,000
is necessary for travel expense of the
agent within the county, $1,000 for
clerical assistance, and $500 for dem
onstration, office and miscellaneous
expense. This totals about $2700 in
addition to salary of agent. The Of
flee is provided and equipped by the
county.
About 43 percent of the taxes of
Carbon County are paid from agricul-
tural property. Of the $4,000 to be
paid by the county for extension
work the farmers will pay $1,634.00,
or about S1.60 per farm. The nom
agricultural property bears this tax
because of the indirect influence of
county agent work upon it. Many
counties regard county agent work as
an investment in tax reduction as
the agent is concerned to quite an
extent with the creation of new tax
able wealth. 1t costs just as much to
run state and county governments
and schools and taxes are not lik-
ely to be materially decreased except
through spreading the tax burden
over additional wealth.
Montana has 95 county agricultural
agents. Carbon countys' cost will be
almost the exact average for the
state. The taxable valuation of the
county is greater and the cost Of
county agent work will be cores

TIPPING STUDENTS IN
LINE FOR HONORS

Miss Margaret Rogers, local high
school teacher of the commercial
classes, is justly proud of her pupils
these days. She states that she has
two pupils who are very proficient
in tipping and that they have very
good chances of getting some very
worthwhile prizes for their work in
school.
The Royal typewriter people give
prize of two portable typewriters to
each state, each year. The school
year is divided into two periods and
the pupil with the best record in the
state for each period gets one of these
machines. The first period prize this
year went to girl in Fort Benton
schools, who had record of So words
minute for so minutes, with no err
rors, and now Miss Rogers says that
Mary Kolarich of the local high
school has just made a record of Sc
words minute for 80 minutes with
no errors, and that she stands good
chance of winning the portable type
writer for the second period this
year. This record, of course, has to
be made on a Royal typewriter in ,r
der to win the prize.
Alice Boyer, the other of Miss
Rogers star pupils, has made an ex-
cellent record on the Underwood
typewriter Her record was a speed
of 81 words minute for so minutes
with no errors, and Miss Rogers
states that Miss Boyer will receive
gold accuracy pin from the Under
wood people for this record.
