Hunters Think State
Record Made; IS Coyotes

The Garfield Flying Service
of Williston is making life mis-
cradle and in most instances ex-
tinct for coyotes, according to the
news Item from last weeks issue
of the Williams County Farmers
Press which appears below.
Mr.. Garfield will be remembered as
putting on a flying circus and market
day last fall at which time merchants
of Plentywood awarded prizes to those
who attend the flying fair, and was
lucky enough to catch the parcels as
they were dropped from the air by
parachutes. They were visitors about
three weeks ago here On one Of their
hunting expeditions; intending to bag
a few Montana coyotes in the Dale
view district.
With several weeks Of hunting still
in prospect, Ed Garfield, Williston
airplane pilot, believes he will set a
record in the state for collecting coy
ote skins. Eighty-five coyotes have
been shot from his plane thus far this

Go to Wi||iStOn to
Attend Meeting in
Interest Of Dredging

Mr.. and Mrs. F. D. Morck and Mr..
and Mrs. P. G. Neville motored to
Williston on Monday where they at
tended the meeting conducted by
Prof. Simpson of Grand Forks, rela-
tive to the deepening of the Missouri
river from the Yellowstone to the
Mississippi for the purpose of again
using the Missouri for river shipping.
There was a large gathering of inter
ested parties from Northwestern
North Dakota and Eastern Montana
and everyone appeared to be greatly
in favor of the projected deep water
ways up the Missouri River. This is
in part the matter of taking r of
flood waters for future years so that
such a disastrous flood will not &C.
cur again as did when the Mississippi
river overlooked its banks two years
ago and caused billions of dollars
in damage as we'll as taking the lives
of scores and hundreds of people.
Other Hearings Conducted
Other hearings had been conducted
at points further south and southeast
in the states of South Dakota and
Nebraska, and this was the last of
the series of hearings, after which a
detailed report will be made to the
Water ways commission in Washing
ton, with recommendations that the
work be undertaken from the money
already appropriated by the federal
government for flood control meas
ures.

F|REMEN'S BALL IS.
EVENT OF SEASON

The Firemen's 18th annual Ball was
staged last Saturday evening at the
Farmer-Labor Temple with the usu-
al record attendance. There were
275 couples that crowded the spacious
ballroom for the occasion, many COM
ing from long distances, and visit
ing terperschorians wereh ere from
Crosby, Williston, Wolf Point, Oph-
elm, and all cities and towns in be-
tween, as we'll as from the country
homes throughout Northeastern Mon
tana. Scobey was represented by IS
couples and Medicine Lake by 25.
The music furnished by the Plenty
wood-Scobey orchestra was simply
grand, and the dancers enjoyed them
selves to the utmost. The dance was
very orderly and no occasion was
found where any complaint could pos
sibly be made on this score.
The receipts were good, when con-
sideration is taken of the present fl
nancial depression, and altho there
have been occasions when large re-
ceipts were obtained, the Firemen's
Association of Plentywood are jub-
liant over the splendid attendance as
well as the receipts.
Novelty souvenirs in the form of q
huge bandannas upon which was prin.
ted "Firemen's 18th Annual Ball" was
gwen to every couple, but the supply
Of over 500 bandannas were exhaust
ed long before the crowds ceased
coming to this ball. The dancers all
wore these huge red handkerchiefs.
cowboy and cowgirl style and it would
have led a timid easterner to believe
thet all the dancers were ranchers
instead of the ordinary rank and file
of our town and farmer folks Of
northeastern Montana.
All who attended danced until they
were fully satisfied, and when il
broke up shortly after 2 P. M. there
were no one that did not feel they
had been royalty entertained by the
Plentywood Firemen's Association.

Farmers TO MEET
TO STUDY WAYS Of
FEEDING LIVESTOCK
County Agents Office will
Outline Various Means
for Farmers

On Saturday, March Ia, at 1870
p. M. many farmers and stock
men of the county will gather at
the Ruegsegger farm, three miles
west and one mile south of Out
look for the purpose of gaining
information regarding the feed
ing and finishing of livestock
for market.
Due to the decline in prices of GER
cal grains, many stockmen who have
in the past been selling their stock
in the fall as feeders, are interested
in feeding their stock so that they
may be marketed as finished stock
and be ready for slaughter. Mr..
Ruegsegger has had better than a
carload of yearling Herefords on feed
for several months which will be ready
for market about April l. They have
been finished on a ration of barley,
oats and wheat fed in a self feeder and
have made very good gains. Pros
pective feeders will be particularly
interested in the method in which
Mr.. Ruegsegger has been handling
his herd.
D. E. Richards, State Livestock
Specialist, will be on hand and will
give a demonstration of grading beef
stock according to the market stand
ard. He will also discuss feeding ra-
tons and management practices hat
are being used by feeders in other
parts of the state.
Max Legge, fieldman for the In
termountain Livestock Marketing AS
ISOLATION, which is the marketing or
ganization in Montana recognized by
the Federal Farm Board, is expected
to be present to discuss the methods
of financing and marketing through
the National Organizations.
After the meeting at the Ruegseg-
ger Farm, the group will go to the
Andrew LELAND farm at Outlook
where Mr.. Richards will give a dem
onstration of selecting and grading
feeder cattle. All farmers and stock.
men who are interested in livestock
production are invited to attend this
meeting on March Ia.

Last week this happened with
a vengeance when we set up
the story about the X. C. lodge
having decided to help the un-
employed in this community, by
listing prospective openings for
work and list the names of
all job seekers. However instead
of setting up the word "list"
we got it twisted around to read
"slit".
This is on par with that OF a
North Carolina paper that re-
corded that a sailor " was kill
ed by coming in contact with a
live wife" Possibly another
Linotyper's error, yet such
things have happened.

Red Cross Gives
Aid in Twenty
States of Union

According to a map issued by the
American Red Cross, we find that
this organization is giving drought
relief in 1885 counties in twenty states.
This map shows that no Red Cross
aid is being given in Daniels, Sher-
idan, or Roosevelt counties, but i'm
mediately west of these counties and
clear across the state from North to
South is a shaded portion almost 100
miles wide where the Red Cross aid

of us this map indicates that such
aid is given in Divide, Williams, and
Mountrail counties.
