|ODD INCIDENTS STUD MEETINGS
Fenniman Nominated as q. 0. P. Committeeman,
 Wife Names NOrwash

Naugatuck, August 24. - Two unusual incidents occurred last night as Republicans were holding their town convention in the bor- ough courtroom. Shortly after the convention started, the door opened slowly, head popped in and with muttered, "Oh, pardon me" quickly withdrew.
 It was Warden John J. Sheridan, whose presence at Republican convention certainly would be news. Later, MT. Sheridan explained he forgot the Republicans were con- vening and thought 8 meeting Of some of the Democratic leaders, scheduled for the same night, was being held in the courtroom. Both the Republicans and the warden got quite a kick out of the incident.
 The other incident occurred when Harris Whittemore, Jr., town com- mittee chairman, told the conven- ton delegates that John Suther- land who has been finance commit tee chairman for the party for 15 years, wished someone elss would now assume the burden, and MT. Whittemore said, had indicated earlier in the day he would be will- ing to take the duties. MT. Whitte- more said MT. Fenniman should be chosen before he changed his mind and tried to avoid the job which means considerable work.
 To the surprise of the delegates, a member of the convention imme- diately arose and nominated Walter Norwash expressing the opinion a member of the town committee should hold the post. MT. Fenni- man is not a member of this com mittee. MT. Whittemore pointed out MT. Norwash indicated his bus mess will curtail his Republican activities. However, the stand of the nominator was not changed so action was finally left up to the town committee.
 The nominator of MT. Norwash in opposition to MT. Fenniman was none other than MT. Fenniman's wife, Mrs. Edna c. Fenniman. Later she explained smilingly her hus- band has enough to do without hav- ing the duties of party treasurer added to his other work.

FARMERS A
0 CRICKETS

The preparation for the cricket
control work in Big Horn county
the coming year is nearly COM
plete, and when the crickets ap-
pear they will be met with the
best organized campaign since the
cricket menace appeared five years
ago, according to George w. Gust
afson, county extension agent.
The main weapons of defense
for repelling the invading insects
will be % busting with arsenical
powder consisting of l part re-
fined arsenic and 3 parts diatem-
aceous earth, (2) The use of tin
barriers ten inches high supple
mented by pits used as traps, and
81 Oiling the water in irrigation
bitches to keep the crickets from
the irrigated sections.
The dust will have more univer-
sal use than the other two meth
DDS and will be spread by means
of hand and power busters. The
latter doubtless will be used more
extensively, says Mr. Gustafson,
because they WILL reQuce mucn OF
the labor and lessen the danger of
poisoning common to hand busting
methods.
The dust has been mixed by a
cree of men at the fair grounds
for the past three weeks, and a
large supply is at hand to meet
the demand when the crickets
come out more generally.
H. c. Heckenlively is supervisor
of the cricket control work in
Big Horn county and is cooperat-
ing with state and federal agen-
cies.
Meetings to discuss the plans
for control and to explain the as
sistance provided through federal
funds have been held in the fol-
lowing communities: Decker, Wy
ola, Lodge Grass, Spring Creek and
st. Xavier.

WATER STORAGE
ROGET IN PARK
Quddruped Engineers Store $500
Acre Feet of Water In
Bowman Lake

Rangers in the Polebridge dis
trict report that a colony of beav-
ers, renowned engineers of the an
imal kingdom, have just completed
one of their most ambitious water
conservation projects at Bowman
Lake in Glacier National Park.
Putting a dam 40 feet long and
IL feet high across the outlet,
they have succeeded in raising the
water level of the entire lake
slightly over a foot. AS Bowman
is one of the larger of the parks
$50 lakes, being roughly 7 miles
long by a half mile wide, park en-
gineers estimate the beavers have
in storage $500 acre feet of wa
ter.
Although it is the policy of the
National Park Service to oppose
man-made dams in the parks no
effort is made to interfere with
operations of native wildlife.
Therefore the 839 beavers estim-
ated in the reservation carry on
their work unmolested.

INDIANS DENIED
RELIEF BY COURT
Supreme Tribunul Prohibits
County From Giving
Indiuns Aid

In a test case brought by Herb
ert A. Williams, the supreme court
of Montana decreed last Thursday
Big Horn County Public Welfare
Board must not receive further
applications from ward Indians or
pay direct relief to such Indians.
About so applications had been
made to the county for direct re-
lief to Indians. The condition of
the poor fund of the county was
such that other relief activities
would have been very seriously
curtailed had the sums requested
in the applications been paid.
Presumably, the federal govern
ment is responsible for care of
these Indians. A local attorney
states that under the law it has
always been the custom and gen.
orally recognized duty of a guard
ian to care for its ward. The In
dams are legal wards of the Uni
ted States in this instance he ad-
ded.
