substitute a department of national
defense for the War Department and

nights, have three good meals day,
with the privilege of walking in the
Geological Park each afternoon with
his owner, Miss Anne L. Sanders, an
employe of the Home Owners Loan
Corp, who lives at 1881 Calvert street.
Here is the situation: The Calvert
street premises are getting just a bit
too small for the Major, now entering
his fourth year. A native of Augusta,
Ga, he is accustomed to plenty of
romping place. AS his little mistress
has to go to Office each morning, the
Major is without a companion during
the day. And he does love company.
Especially children. So Miss Sanders
figures out the best thing she can do
is to throw the Major on the mercy of
some good hearted soul who has big
back yard, plenty of children, and a

5 SEED MEETINGS
ARRANGED FOR co.

A series of meetings will be
held throughout Sheridan county
for the purpose of taking appli-
cations for orders of seed. The
government program regarding
handling of seed will be explained
by F. e. McSpaddsn, assistant ag-
economist, from the state college at
Bozeman.
Now is the time to plan your
1885 acreage, determine the am
cunt of SEED needed, and make i'm
mediate arrangements for seed,
either through local sources or the
federal seed stocks committee.
Barley and oats are especially hard
to get. Many states are bedding
for our Montana seed. This makes
it necessary to Immediately assem-
bic orders to protect the Montana
allotment. If you have sufficient
seed for your own use or sur
plus to sell, YOU will be interested
in attending these meetings. Bring
samples of your surplus seed and
list it with the county drought
committee.
Remember that a 10 per cent
cut in your wheat acreage from
the previous three to five year av-
erage is required, if you are a
member of the County Wheat Pro-
duction Control association.
Bring list of your acreage of
crops for 1885. Also list the am
cunt of each variety q seed need
ed.
Farmers are urged to attend
these meetings. So prepare to or
der such grain as required, and
learn about the entire seed pro-
gram for 1885.

HIGHLAND FARMERS
ACTIVE TO BUILD
A COOP STORE
Recent Meeting With Hariu
Puts Things Into
Motion
by a Farmer Correspondent

HOGELAND, Mont.-Some time
ago a gathering was held at Jens-
venS for the purpose of organizing
a committee to interest the farm
ers in this territory IN getting a
farmers and workers cooperative
store started.
Because of the rather cold wea-
Their, the crowd was not so large
but all present were quite inter
ested. There were two speakers
present from Superior, Wis. One
was Mr.. Harju, secretary of the
Workers and Farmers Cooperative
Unity Alliance. He stated the
reasons why such store should
be started and how to go about it.
Small Shareholders
He explained that the main thing
was to get membership on a very
large scale, with shares at rela-
lively small amounts rather than
let any one particular person be-
come too big a shareholder. Har-
Ju suggested that the shares be set
at 81 apiece and limited to SO
shares a person with only one vote
to each person, regardless of the
number of shares held. That would
enable the smallest and poorest of
the shareholders to have a voice
in the workings of the store.
The idea seemed to take well
with the people. And meeting
is planned in which further dis
cussions and plans will be made
and petitions distributed to each OF
the II committee members.
The petitions were drawn up by
Mr.. Harju, stating the purpose OF
such a cooperative store. They will
serve to get prospective members
to sign their names and pledge the
amount they can give to the es-
Enlistment of the store. In that
way, the amount taken in could
be estimated quite correctly before
anv money is actually handled anC
future meeting of all the sign
ers could then be called later.
The next committee meeting will
be held as soon as weather per
mits and decisions of interest t.
the Hogeland public will, no doubt
then be made.

Corn-Hog Meeting at
Courthouse Saturday

A countrywide meeting of inter
est to corn-hog producers will be
held in the Sheridan county court
room on Saturday, Feb. 2, at 1870
o'clock p. m. At this time a re-
preventative of the state COLLEGE
at Bozeman will briefly explain the
1885 setup.
Practically all producers of corn
and hogs, whether or rot they took
part in the 1884 program, are eli
gible to sign a 1885 adjustment
contract, according to M. J. Peter
son, county agricultural agent.
Those eligible to sign irclude per-
sons owning and OPERATING their
own farms, and tenants operating
farms on a cash rent or fixed share
agreement; person operating
farms being purchased by them for
cash or for fixed commodity paw
ment; and tenants OPERATING farms
rented on a crop or stock share
lease or agreement.
Eligibility in all cases will he
determined bv the county allot-
ment committee, which acts in ac-
cordance with instructions issued
by the AGRICULTURAL adiuetment ad-
ministration and approved NV the
secretary of agriculture. The al
lotment committee will determine
whether the applicant for a 1895
contract is a bona fide producer
qualified to sign a contract and
receive berefit payments.
