In this production Rogers, in the

small army of snobs who think it is
sophisticated to sheer at everything
American when they are in Europe.
Joel McCrea, as a sophisticated play

GUS cheers when he finally realizes the

Wheat Smut Takes Heavy Toll.
BOHEMIAN. Sept 6-Montana ca

BOHEMIAN, Sept. 6.-Montana coun-
ty agents again are emphasizing the
need for treating seed wheat with cop
per carbonate before planting. Because
Of failure to treat seed or improper
treatment smut continues to take a
heavy annual toll from the wheat
farmers of the state. In 1880 inspec-
tons at Harlowton, Bozeman, and
Great Falls showed that 1413 cars OF
wheat out Of total Of 1896 graded
smutty Wheat from the 1881 crop re-
ceived at Great Falls, Portland, Seattle
and Spokane showed 1873 cars smutty
in shipments of the first six months.
A careful check of smut in a number
Of fields in Gallatin, Choteau and Ju-
dith Basin counties in 1881 revealed
more than 10 per cent smut.
Extension agents point out that il
costs from six to eight cents per acre to
treat seed and that losses due to smut
dockage range from two to six cents
per bushel at the elevator. In spite
of low prices farmers are realizing that
it pays to treat their seed and agents
are providing thousands of Montana
farmers with the details of effective
seed treatment in advance Of winter
wheat seeding.

history and laboratory science. Thus
it is possible to graduate without Latin
or without two years of mathematics or
without two years of science by COM
pleting other courses which give equiv
alent credit and fit the pupil more di-
rectly for his business For example,
if he fulfills the requirements above
he can take enough tipping, shorthand
and bookkeeping to offset his Latin.
However, if he later makes up his
mind to study medicine or law he will
be handicapped because he did not
take high school Latin. The same is
true of student who decides on IN
gineering unless he has taken advan-
tage of the high school mathematics
possible.
Many students. of course. do not
have very definite plans when they
enter high school. For these the faculty
advise the fundamental college en-
trance requirements with the remain
der of their course made up of bust
ness subjects. fais gives both prepar-
alton for college ana a quite complete
business course. A number of grad
yates return each year to complete
some course. especially commercial,
that they were not able to take in their
regular four years This is an excel
lent plan and all such pupils will be
accommodated as long as the work can
be carried with the present teaching

WASHINGTON
eY RApFoRD MoeLN

WASHINGTON, D. c., September C..
Official Washington is giving lot of
its attention right now to figuring out
the effect upon the foreign trade of
the United States as result of the
agreements between the different mem
bers of the British Empire, which were
concluded short time ago at Ottawa
On the face of the agreements be-
tween the different colonies, dominions
and commonwealth, it looks as If
American trade with nations under the
British flag might be seriously cur
tailed. Just how far that may prove
to be true is guess work. The Cana
dams are a canny folk, and they stood
firmly out against number of pro-
posals which would have impaired
commerce across our northern border.
1t is all very we'll to be patriotic, they
said in substance, but a dollar is dol
lar. Nothing is likely to be done N
Washington about these matters which
are all inside the British Empire, but
when the world economic conference
for the purpose of finding further ways
to increase commodity prices is held
in Europe in the fall, Uncle Sans
representatives will have some ammu-
milton to use in the effort to. stimulate
the interchange of goods between ma
tions.

One point on which very strong
attack will be made at the next session
will be that of veteran pensions The
National Economy League claims that

sions to which the beneficiaries are
not entitled for any reason except that
congress voted to give them the money
That came about through the enact
ment of the law which provides that
If any veteran of the World War be-
came disabled or died before Janu-
airy l, 1925, it should be presumed
that the disability or death occurred
on account of war services. This ig-
nored the fact that, as each man was
discharged from the service, he went
through an even more rigid physical
examination than when he entered
According to the National Economy
League, we had only 100000 men
wounded or gassed or otherwise in
jured or incapacitated during the war,
of whom more than $4,000 were able
to return to duty But now more than
ten years after the war, $4,000 veter-
ans are receiving pensions for "disabil-
tiles incurred in or resulting from the

Development of Campaigns

Reports received in Washington
from all parts of the country continue
to indicate that the wet and dry issue
is not likely TO affect very many presi-
dental votes one way or the other,
but that in many of the states which
were dry before national prohibition
there will be some pretty bitter fights
over the congressional elections, in
which party lines will be largely oblit-
Grated. Whether Mr.. Hoover comes
back or Mr. Roosevelt takes his place
in the White House, the next president
will be committed to radical change
in the prohibition Laws. 1t would be a
curious state of things if the next pres
ident should find a dry majority in
congress.
This is not likely to be the case,
however. The dry movement has lost
much of its organized strength with
the detection of the Rev. DR.. Daniel
A. Polling who was one Of the most
important religious leaders of the pro-
hibition movement. DR.. Polling has ex-
pressed himself as willing to accept
the repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, provided the old-fashioned
saloon is eliminated Mrs. Ella Boole,
just reelected president of the W. G..
T. e., and Bishop Cannon of Virginia,
are almost the only remaining dry
leaders Of national fame who have not
changed their views.
On the other side, Jouett Shouse,
formerly executive chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, has
succeeded Major Henry H. Curran as
the head of the national association for
repeal Of the Eighteenth Amendment.
All of that means that the best poll
teal strategists are no longer on the
dry side, as they were few years
ago.

definite authority by congress. When

1t is not often that mayor Of New

ical Importance, but that is what has
happened in the case of Jimmy" Walk
er. The belief that Governor Roosevelt

fear of mourning the enmity of Tam

vote of New York state seems to have
been dispelled. Even the governors
political opponents concede that his
handling of his personal investigation
Of Walkers conduct as mayor was an
excellent piece of work. Also Mayor
Walkers resort to the courts, in the
