IMPORTED SEED
TO BE COLORED
FOREIGN GROWN VARIETIES UN-
ADAPTED TO MONTANA'S Gil
Matte CONDITIONS

Because the short alfalfa seed
crop produced in Montana this
year may cause imported seed to
find its way into the state for sale
and distribution to growers, Ralph
ID. Mercer, asrOnOmlSt,
advises Farmers that the federal
seed act requires the coloring of all
lots of alfalfa seed imported into
the United States.
All seed from foreign countries, eX-
cept Canada, is unadapted and non
hardy under Montana climatic on
ditions, Mercer warns. Tests conducted
with a number of foreign importations
at the Judith Basin branch of the Mon
tana agricultural experiment station
have proven conclusively that alfalfa
seed from foreign countries is infer
ior in both yield and survival to the
three standard varieties recommended
for Montana-Ladak, Cossack and
Grimm.
In order that producers in the state
may be informed about the federal re-
quirements, Mercer lists the colors and
percent of colors for various importa-
tons of alfalfa seed. These are:
Canada percent violet colored
seed.
Africa-1O percent red colored seed.
Turkestan-10 percent purple red
colored seed.
South America-1O percent orange
red colored seed.
Unknown origin-10 percent red COL
ored seed.
known origin but not coming from
colored seed.
BY this coloring system purchasers
can determine whether the seed they
are considering is imported seed, Mer-
Ger said.

Footballically speaking, the year
1908 was one of the best ever en-
joyed by the Montana School of
Mines. The team that season shared
the state collegiate title with the
Montana Agricultural College Of
Bozeman. The Mines twice defeat
ed Montana University by scores
Of 10 to 0 and % to 0. The game
with the Montana Agricultural
college resulted in a scOrelesS tie.
Butte high was defeated 81 to 6.
Butte hi-gridders put over the
only score registered against the
Miners. Only four games were
played. Two contests were at home,
one with the University and with
Butte high. The team played the
State College game at Bozeman
and one game with the University
was played at Missoula- A second
game with the Agricultural school
was called off because Of cold
weather. 1t was to have been played
on November IA.

brought Stanley Ketchel and Mike
Twin Sullivan together. With several
hundreds of dollars in his jeans, he
and a companion figured that the
money could be used for other pur-
poses than railroad fare, so they de-
cided to beat their way home.
Boarding a manifest freight at
Sacramento, loaded with oranges, they
eventually arrived at Salt Lake. En-
route they had orange juice and sliced
oranges for every meal, as they forgot
to stock up with food. When they got
off the car at Salt Lake they were
picked up by several railroad dicks
and ushered to the city Jail.
Judge Liked Boxers
A kind-hearted judge listened to
the complaint. He asked Sid his name
and occupation.
my name is Sid Lafontise; I'm a
boxer, Judge, I live in Butte, and am
on my way home,' vas the answer
of Lafontise.

Sid paid out two bucks to the rail-

Greedy Brakeman Fired i.
A brakeman, a big tough bozo,
came along to the flatcar Sid and
his companion occupied. He asked
them for a buck each, the usual
take-off extracted by some brakemen
another.
Sid and his companion refused to
come across.
The brakeman stuck a gun in

pair jumped they rolled down an en-

The engineer of the freight train

in the greedy brakeman, who might
have been an accessory to a poten-
tial double killing. The brakeman
lost his job.
Most Satisfying Victory.
Sid spent several days in Pocatellc
looking for the enemy railroader. He
came across him in a saloon. The
brakeman was in the heavyweight
class and knew his way about in a
rought and tumble fight. Sid, weigh
ing about 160, also knew the tricks
OF fight-as-you-have-to. They went
at it in the saloon, but were asked tc
move out in the back yard. They
fought for an hour. Both men were
down more than once. The man who
stayed down when the braWl was over
wasn't Sid.
Sid found out in the first 10 min
utes of fighting that he could shell
lack his opponent, so he designed to
beat a tattoo with his fists in places
where tattooing would hurt most.
When he was satisfied that the

A Greet Motto

ONE of Americas great busi-
" ness organizations has adopt
ed a motto for the guidance of
its people-a little fve-letter word
with a big meaning. 1t has been
cut in huge granite letters over
the entrance of recently con-
structed building used as a train
ing school. 1t is made the theme of
many employee discussions. 1t
hangs over the desk of company
executives. The word is THINK.
Educators, philosophers, preach
ers throughout the ages have
written and talked about it. Rodin
gave the world a famous statue
called "The Thinker" "Think" is
a significant word. 1t represents
the only means by which human
progress can be accomplished. 1t
annoys people who have lazy
minds, because thinking means
mental effort. Practically all the
accidents in the world are caused
because people don't think. Thou
sands fail in life simply because
they don't think. Others give great
inventions to the world because
they do think.-The Pickup.

the old gate into the lane, and so on

their four selves were at the table.
Serena was no such housekeeper as
Victoria Hardisty, but she made no
apologies for a poor dinner and in

was clear and cold; after dinner
there was a fire intermittently re-

At first they played in the sitting

was overcome with sleepiness, and
she felt that she could decently sug-

not on the game; she felt nervous
