GOES TO FINAL REST

A large number Of the men,
bers of Jasmine Chapter No. IS,
Order of the Eastern Star, OF
which Mrs. Finlayson IS an hon.
ored member, marched from the
Masonic lodge room to the church
in a body.
The floral offerings were beauti-
ful and numerous, it requiring
two automobiles to transport them
from Hardin to Billings, where in
terment took place, a large con-
course of relatives and friends
following the remains the fifty
miles to their last resting place in
beautiful Mountview cemetery.
The palbearers, all intimate
friends, were Charles S. Elder, Nels
Jensen, Jack Davis, Tom Macleod,
Matt p. Calderwooh and Fred Old
Horn, member of the Crow tribe
of Indians. In all the years John
Ffnlayson had operated in the
sheep business on the Crow reser-
walton he had purchased much
hay and pasture from the Indians,
who held him in highest esteem.
When they learned of his death,
the members of the Black Lodge
district, in which Mr.. Finlayson
had operated so long, held a brief
council and passed resolutions of
r. Spect for their departed friend
and of sympathy for his widow
and family, which they had re-
duced to writing and through
their chairman, Fred Old Horn,
presented to Mrs. Finlayson. It
was an unusual and fitting trib-
ute to one who in all his many
dealings with them through a
long period Of years had retained
their confidence and esteem.
John M. Finlayson was one of
natures noblemen, kind and gen.
erous to a fault, and during his
long residence in this community
had made friends of all who knew
him. His passing has caused genu-
inc sorrow throughout Big Horn
county.

SOAAAA AVA. ~AALoyoOAA OA4C VI WIG
most widely known sheepmen OF
eastern Montana, died at an early
hour, Sunday morning, at his
home at the corner of Second
street and Chouteau avenue in
Hardin. While he had been a suf-
ferer from a dropsical affection,
the past several months, he had
been up and around the house and
occasionally went out for an auto

sheepman was unusual, as he had
sheep in practically every
country of the world, from
Australia to Argentine Republic.
At the age of Is Mr.. Finlayson

C0RN-HOG ADJUSTMENT
PROGRAM IS EXPLAINED
BY County Agent. Gustafson in
Series of Meetings Held
Over County

The main points of the corn
hog adjustment program as they
apply TO the farmers of Big Horn
county are being explained by
County Agent Geo. w. Gustafson
at a series of meetings which will
be held at various points in the
county as follows:
Wyola-Tuesday, Feb. 81, at 1870
p. m.
Lodge Grass-Tuesday, Feb. 81,
at 7:3O p. m.
~Hardin-Wednesday, Feb. %, at
100 p. m.
st. Xavier-Thursday, March /,
at 1870 p. m.
Spring Creek school house-Fri-
day, March 2, at 2:30 p. m.
Pryor-Saturday, March 3, at
100 p. m.
That all farmers in the county
may learn of the provisions of the
corn-hog contract and the pro-
'cedure to be followed here and in
Montana generally, County Agent
Gustafson has prepared the fol-
lowing summary for this paper:
The farmer who signs the corn
hog reduction contract agrees in
1884 to reduce by Is per cent the
number of filters narrowed on his
farm during the base period
1928, and to reduce the number
of pigs raised for market by Is
per cent. If he is a corn grower,
he also agrees in 1884 to decrease
his average corn acreage by at
least 20 per cent. The farmer with
less than 10 acres of corn may
sign a contract without making
a corn acreage reduction.
The farmer who has averaged
less than four filters of hogs dur
ing the base period may sign a
contract but in such cases he will
produce one litter less than his
average. This is a recent ruling
to take care of the small producer.
All hog producers may now sign
contracts.
The contracting farmer also
agrees not to plant more acres of
crops for harvest in 1884 than he
did in 1882 or 1888, whichever is
the higher. That is, the total
acreage of harvested crops on the
farm will be no greater than in
1882 OF 1888. The acreage planted
to crops designated as "basic" in
the agricultural adjustment act
will not be greater than during
the base period. He also agrees not
to increase basic livestock pro-
duction other than hogs, and not
10 increase the number of feeder
pigs over his average Of 1928.
At this time, only dairy cattle are
listed as "basic" other than hogs.
For complying with these terms
the farmer will receive $500 per
head on IS per cent Of the ad-
justed annual average number Of
pigs produced for market from
1928 litters. The pro-rata share

FOUND GUILTY
 OF MURDER OF
 OHIO SHERIFF
One Member of Dillinper Gang, Despite Plea, Is
 Convicted Quickly

LIMA, Ohio, March l2.-Harry Pierpont, member of the notorious John Dillinger gang, was found guilty last Saturday night on a charge of first degree murder for the staying of Sheriff Jess Serber during jail break
 The jury of ten men and two women failed to recommend mer- cy which makes it manc@tory for death in the electric chair.
 The jury deliberated only 55 min- utes.
 Earlier in the day, Pierpont, who is a smooth talker, took the stand in his fight for his life. In clipped precise sentences he told of his armed movements around the country and expressed admir- ation for the desperate Dillinger, but denied emphatically he was in the Allen County jail on October 12, last year, when Sheriff Sar- Der was shot to death in a deliv- cry in which Dillinger escaped. Although the Sheriff's widow iden- tified Pierpont as the killer, Pier point declared he never saw Sar- Der in his life,

AND. C0UN C|LMEN TO. SEEK NEW TERMS
Mayor Announces His Can didacy-Members of
 Council to File

Mayor I. Goldstein will seek re- election for another term in office at the municipal election next month. An announcement to this effect was authorized by him today.
 All three members of the City Council whose terms expire this year = H. Messerschmidt, Ralph Beistline and w. s. George = are expected to run on the same ticket with him, it was revealed. The first two have assured the Mayor they will run with him, and Mir George, prior to his departure last month for the south, indicated he, also, would be a candidate.
 The ticket, MT. Goldstein said, will not be filed for several days, probably not until MT. George re- turns home. He is now in the East but is expected to arrive before the end of the month.
 @'After some discussion, we have decided to seek another term in office in order ~to complete the program the present Council launched a year ago We feel that our campaign of retrenchment and economy, of reducing the public debt of the community, has the ap- proval of a large majority of local property owners and residents" the Mayor said. Tt is our intention, if reelected, to continue this policy in every way that is possible with out destroying the efficiency of the City Government or neglecting necessary public Improvements
 The announcement insures at least two tickets will be in the field. Several days ago former Mayor Thomas B. Judson an- nounced he would seek the office again. He is understood to have practically completed his ticket and was expected to file it before the end of the present week.
