Reaper
Strikes Again
Hardin Community, Dies at
Billings Sunday.

The Grim Reaper has been
cutting a wide swath in the ranks
of the early-day residents of the
Hardin community, recently. Last

land Nov. 2, 1887 and came to
Montana in 1900, locating first at
Manhattan, in the Gallatin val
ley, where he engaged in farming
and a few years later coming to
Big Horn county. He was a World
wal veteran and a member OF
Hardin Post No. 8, American L.
gion. Some three years ago he
received an inheritance from Hol-
land and since has spent most OF
his time in and around Billings
making frequent visits to Hardin
which he continued to call home

Doornbos, of Alberta, Canada; c
Doornbos of Texas, and G.. Doorn-
hos in Holland; two sisters, Mrs

Big Horn Men
Visit Spokane
Representatives Farm Loan Assn's
Confer With Directors of
Dist. Land Bank.

Sivert Torske of Hardin, presi-
dent of the Hardin National Farm
Loan Association; Francis Eggart,
WyOla, and Dell Morrison, McRae,
directors of the Little Horn and
Maschetah National Farm Loan
Associations, last week attended
a meeting in Spokane, where
presidents of national farm loan
associations from the four north
west states participated in a
round table conference with Of
ficers and directors of the 18th
district land bank.
The conference was held for the
purpose of giving complete infor-
nation about the banks opera
tions and to invite discussion on
the problems of conducting this
cooperative MORTGAGE system. How
the bank is endeavoring to de-
c%entralize its activities and place
a larger degree of responsibility
in the hands of the local. associa-
tions, embracing the principle of
farmer ownership and control, was
also fully explained.
As the local link in this CO.
operative credit system connect
ing farmers with the investing
public, the national farm loan
associations own capital stock in
the district bank equal to five per
cent of the amount of the first
mortgage loans they have closed
through the bank, and therefore
have a direct interest in the sys-
TENS financial progress. Each
land bank famer-borrower SIM
ilarly holds an investment in the
voting capital stock of his local
association which -rovides a CO.
operative sharing in all gains or
losses in the system.
Last month marked the Goth
anniversary Of this cooperative
mortgage system. during which
time farmers have steadily re-
ceived the benefits of lower in
terest rates on their mortgages
and more favorable terms of re-
payment. In this 20-year period
the land bank of Spokane has
closed nearly $4,000 loans to north
west farmers and its outstanding
volume Of $110,O00,000 in loans
makes it the largest financial
institution of its kind.

Trio Of Games
On Schedule
Today

The scholastic football week has
brought about two developments
Of interest.
The first involves the Tech
High team. The second Techs
brother elevens.
Last week the Trainers be-
moaned the fact they had a we'll
organized football team on hand,
but no field on which to play.
Today the boys have that field
at last, it being their own spa
cious Tech Stadium, which almost
everyone will agree, is the most
beautiful of the stadiumS in the
city.
Permission Granted
A little matter of permission to
use the field was granted the
Techites midway in the week and
It cleared up a situation that
promised to take its place with
the unusual
The "hold-up" trouble started
after the field was re.Sodded
about three weeks ago. One Of
ficial at the school was told the
players would ruin the turf if
they bounced upon it. Others
were told the field was in good
enough condition for football
practice right away.
Jerry Crane. assistant superin-
tendent of schools, was sum-
moned early in the week to
help Straighten out the matter.
He allowed as how the condition
of the field was all right, thus
giving permission for the Techmen
to ego ahead"
Now the development involving
Techs brother elevens. 1t in
cludes the trainers, too, in that
the rain of the past couple of
days has kept all teams on the
inside where outside drills could
have been used to advantage
for games scheduled today and
tomorrow.
However, many of the coaches
were just as we'll pleased by the
rain, as it gave them a chance to
hold important blackboard drills
Those games should be quite in
teresting. Three are scheduled to
day when Central engages Wash.
ington-Lee High at Central, $3.50
p. m: Eastern meets Gonzaga at
Eastern, $3.50 p. m, and Western
opposes st. Johns at Western,
$3.50 p. m.
Tech plays the fourth game for
the week when it tackles Episcopal
at Alexandria tomorrow at 2:30
p. m.
The contest for Western will
mark its first of the season. Cen
trails will be it's second, ditto fol
Eastern while Techs will be its
third.

T>HE morning after the ice storm
Tommy Tit the Chickadee had
been one Of the first to be out
Il and about He had been fairly
comfortable in one. Of the bird houses
Farmer Browns Boy had left out for
Winter use: Tommy had been in
there all through the storm. He was
quite all right, but very, very hungry.
He had flown straight over to the
feeding shelf at one Of the windows
of Farmer Browns house, where food
for the feathered folk was always
kept by Farmer Browns Boy. The
food was there, but Tommy couldn't
get any of it. No, sir, he couldn't get
bit of it. The big piece Of suet
was incased with ice. All the seeds
were covered with ice. Tommy felt
that he never had known worse dis
appointment.
Having made sure that he could get
nothing there, Tommy Tit wasted no
time hanging around and complain
ing. He straightway made a round Of
the trees in the Old Orchard, looking
for one that might in part at least
have escaped tine Ice and on which ne
might find eggs of plant lice. Every
twig of every tree was coated with
ice. The very trunks Of the trees were
