1900 RABBITS
SLAIN IN DRIVE
Two Fortuna Men Hurt by
Falling Horses

FORTUNA, Mont.-Three thou
sand rabbits and three coyotes
killed were the result of the big
eest rabbit drives here last Sun
day.
From far and near farmers and
towns people attended to take part
in the sport. R. Stubbe and Ted
Nordhagen brought truck loads Of
men from Westby.
The huge pile of rabbits that
was built after the hunt was over
was a sight that made every
farmer feel good.
Two of the hunters on horseback
got hurt when their horses slipped
and fell. Edwin Anholt and Mr.
Legard, of Fortuna, suffered
broken legs when the horses fell
upon them. The money that viii
be gotten from the sale of the rab-
bits will have to be used to pay
hospital expenses for the two in
iured men.

COA4COSs Q1Ollbs
Producers News:
am enclosing 1925 for re-
newal of the Producers News and
also for subscription to the Farm
ers Weekly.
am sorry that / have not been
able to do something for both
papers, but with the wheat allot-
ment, bad weather and financial
embarrassment being kept home
the last six weeks I have done moth
ing. However, ! expect to be able
to get a drive started soon.
Everything looks favorable for
getting subs. The allotment pay
ments are not satisfactory to most
Of the farmers. And the CWA is
worse with the cut to Is hours pei
week and about one-half of the
men cut off entirely.
And the latest is that the gov.
ernment is demanding mortgage
on this years crop for past seed
loans. And they want the allot.
ment committees to pass on thi.
years seed loans.
This condition viii make NOR,
and more farmers like our paper
which tells the truth about thing,
and shows what we can do about
it.
have been called to Scobey foI
a meeting on Monday to get in
structions for organization.

Horses Decreased z Per
Cent While Cattle IN
creased 9 In 1888

The U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, Bureau of Agricultural
Economics, issues the following re-
port on livestock in Montana:
The following changes in num-
bers of livestock on Montana farms
and ranches as of date Jan. 1,
1884 and compared with a yea,
! ago are reported by the U. S. Di-
vision of Crop and Livestock Esti-
mates at Helena: Horses and colts
/ decreased 2 per cent; sheep and
mule colts remained unchanged; all
cattle and calves increased 9 Der
cent; sheep and lambs increased I
per cent; all swine remained un-
chaged.
The present population of live
stock as placed by these estimate.
IS as follows: Horses and colts
$4,000 head, last year, S88.OOC
mead; mules and colts, 5000 head
last year 5000 head; all cattle ano
calves, 1, $4,000 head, last wear se.a,
$4,000 head; all sheep and
lambs, 4,144,OOO head, last wear
4,O87,OOO head; all swine 227 000
head, last year $4,000 head.
Included in the estimates for al
cattle and calves are 211 900 hea1
OF cows and heifers kept primar;l,
Tor milk purposes. This nunnha1
is . per cent larger than the tota
reported year ago when II wa,
2O1 900 head.
i Total inventory value of prin-
clpal classes of livestock in Mon

$4,000, which is 1O.5 per cen
larger than a year ago when /;
was $50, $4,000. Two wears ao
the value was $53,545, 900. Horse

The inventory value of livestoc

Resolution
We, the United Farmers League
members of Raymond, Montana,
owing to the fact that we have ne
ceived no hay or grain so far, are
losing large numbers of cattle and
horses, and have been for many
weeks. The present intense cold
is causing further serious losses,
with a large percentage of the
farmers having had no feed for
several weeks, thus eliminating the
small farmers only means of live
lihood.
Therefore, we demand adequate
feed here at once, not less than Ii
carloads of hay and eight carloads
of feed grain.
We therefore send copies of thi.
resolution to Sen. B. K. Wheeler

retired the side. He, also, yielded four runs in the seventh but with out a hit being made off him. His wildness was costly and the base ball behind him wasn't any too smart.
 Last In Seventh
 The fourth local score happened in the seventh. Snow singled, ad- vanced on an error by the second baseman, to third on Andrews out and tailed on another out by Koshak.
 The all-stars more than held their own in fielding and turned in some wonderful individual plays. Garn made flying leap to snare a drive from Miller in the sixth. Bill Schmitz took one off his shoe tops in the first, and later robbed "Swede" Hansen of a homer by fast fielding in the third. Fine base e-throwing in the fourth killed off couple of loose aviators who strayed too far from their anchor ages. But the dynamite packed in the Navy's bats was just too much for them.
 A big crowd the biggest of the season, saw the game and enjoyed 1t. They also enjoyed the music furnished by the Wrights fine band. And, as for Friday nights contest, well it may have a diff ferent ending.

WAKE UP YOUR
 LIVER BILE- WITHOUT CAL0MEL And You'n Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk. don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water. oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and mere movement doesn't get at the cavse. The reason for your down-and-out feeling Is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely. your food doesn't digest It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have e thick. bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system Is poisoned.
 1t takes those good, old CAREERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to ReI these two pounds of bile flowing freeiy and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts. amazing when 1t comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter'a Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent . subsdtuts-

W Alister Is Hmd Luck Kid; Gets
 Finger Knocked Out

It locks like Ward McAlister, star pitcher of the Legion, is the original ''hard luck" kid. Ward was disabled a couple weeks abo at the ball park when he caught a bad hop on the nose and had to spend little time in the hospital, and last night he had the misfor- tune to catch a hot drive on his thumb. While he was throwing the ball during bat ting practice, McAlister took a stinger from Molly MacSpad- den and had his thumb knock cd out of joint.
 As ball players know, a dis located thumb is no help in throwing baseball. It will cause discomfort for McAlister for many weeks, and might prevent his pitching any more this sea- son. Yessir, Ward is the hard luck" kid.
