Final day for primary filings has
come and gone with its usual last min
ute surprises, and today political bat
tie lines are clearly drawn for election
day, July Is.
Tom Stout's candidacy for election
to congress was, of course, the biggest
surprise. All those who were sun
posed to be in the know" had viz
tually conceded the election to the in
cumbent. And then, almost at the last
moment the prominent and politically
powerful Lewistown publisher an
nounced his candidacy.
OF course Mr.. Stout and Mr.. Leavitt
will not cross political swords in the
primaries; the former is democratic
while the latter is republican. But
the contest in the final heat leading up
to general election day, November 4.
will be interesting
The LewistoWn democrat was n
member of the 63rd and Gath congress
from Montanas second district and de-
cIlned to run for third term His
candidacy at this time was impelled by
Senator T. ]. Walsh who, it is under
stood, called Mr.. Stout on long distance
and prevailed upon him to be candi-
date
Yes, MIR. Stout's candidacy is the big
surprise OF the primary campaign and
his race against Congressman Leavitt

MISSOULA, June 16.-(U.P.)-If
figures compiled by the division of
horticulture are fair criterion, agri-
culture in Montana west of the Rocky

that the average return west of the
divide is $21.25 per acre on agricultural
products and 1855 per square mile on
livestock returns Figures east of the
divide are $16.95 per acre and 1922 re-
spectively.
Lincoln county's average return pr

Just a ather

Never said much, but just plugged along
Day after day; never envied the throng
OF weather. men who passed him by
In their costly cars, with their heads held high;
Worked every day, and worked too,
Always, somehow, he found something to do,
Whether at home down at the MILL
He worked all the time with tireless will:
And once in while, with smile, he'd allow
He was zone jump ahead of the sheriff now
Children grew up, and went their ways,
But they never forgot their childhood days
Never forgot the old home there
In the quiet street, off the village square;
Oftei remembered, with unashamed tears
The love of those precious childhood years,
And always found time to keep in touch
With the dear old home that they loved SO much
The home that throughout their lives would be
A lesson in finest nobility
Never said much, when the letters came,
But the old man priced them just the same;
And ma" he would say, every now and then,
Just read that last letter over again"
And as she would read, his face would seem
A little less tired, and his eyes would CLEAN
With a certain light that could tell
Was because the children were doing so we'll.
Just an average father, stranger to fame,
Who never said much, but just played the game!
