NEW YORK. Dec. 16.-The stock
market today followed recent Sat-
urday precedents and kicked around
indifferently over a generally mar
row range.
Mild rising tendencies cropped up
here and there, but usually failed to
get very far. Declines and advances
on the whole. were relatively small
at the close.
Steels and aircrafts tried to leao
the list on forward jaunt at the
start. These soon lost heart a.
settled down to slack performan,e
during the remainder of the pre-
ceedings.
Offerings from the beginning We
as light as demand and transfe

100000 shares.
Wheat at Chicago jumped abo'
cents bushel to new 2-year peal
and other commodities mostly poir

Although encouraging to tho

The welfare of the democracies

and every banker. With the loss
of democracy we lose the capital
istic system. and when that is gone
our liberty and our possessions dis
appear he said,
He pointed out that few people
understand the real meaning of the
capitalistic system. They regard
1t as the vehicle Of the wealthy
class, and its motives are always
questioned as representing a Ger
tain class interest. If properly in
terpreted the system means that
the citizens of our country may
enjoy the maximum of necessities
and luxuries of life with a mini
mum of expense: fair wages and
reasonable hours for employees, and
q fair profit for business.
IN the international drama that
is unfolding the banking fraternity
of America must take leading role.
If we are to prosper let us face our
responsibilities with grim deter
mination to sucCeed-let us do our
part in arranging happy relation

us put money to work, for when
money won't work men cannot. 1t

Wheat Allotment

The wheat allotments for the
United States have been in
creased to g. million acres for
1910, a rise of seven million
acres over 1889, the Big Horn
county Agricultural Conserva-
tion office announced recently.
This additional allotment will
raise the present wheat allot-
ment on individual farms d
small percentage.
Farmers under the conServa-
ton program and stockmen I'M
der the range program must
sign before June l il they in
tend to participate in the 1889
program and receive any ben
efits, it was reiterated.
The national allotments of
wheat will soon be distributed
to the states which In turn will
break them up for each county.
The county committee of Big
Horn county will give these al
lotments to the individual
farmers as soon as possible.
Wheat growers who comply
with the conservation program
this year will have the advan-
tage of conservation payments,
crop insurance, wheat loans and
parity payments.
Farmers who have more than
one farm but work all farms
with the same machinery and
work stock must sign form 95
which combines their farms in
to one unit. This must also be
done by June l..
A recent release by the Crop
Insurance corporation states
that those having crop insur-
ance policies on their wheat
must try and save their crops
from grasshcpers that are
Matched locally. but would be
exempt from migratory grass
hoppers.

Sage dnd Soil
BY Mrs. Paul Schuller

It may be laziness on the
part of the writer, but to get
enthused over housekeeping in
the face of recent dust storms
is beyond my comprehension.
incidentally, I had Just hung
eight pairs of freshly laundered,
ruffled curtains the day before.
Thursday, I had set out a
hundred strawberry plants, on
ly to see them twisted and beat
en-. To date they have survived,
however.
All along the roadsides, there
are trees split and unrooted. Let
us hope the circles around the
sun mean better weather ahead,
One of my Indian friends had
stopped to tell me ne enjoyed
Sage and Soil, and went on to
explain those circles and sun
dogs that have been appearing
the past few days.
We all enjoyed the article
by Carl Rankin in the Billings
Gazette, telling of early days
in Hardin.
We are wondering what has
happened to our rural electri-
fication project. My idea of ru-
raj luxury Is an engine that will
rum without a spark plug or
gasoline and a light that doesn't
mean a nickle spent eVerV time
you use it.
The little one is in big bust
ness trying to figure out how to
get a saddle horse without sell
ing his litter of pure-bred hogs
The dog keeps house when we
leave for the day.
We wish that he might tell
us in words how glad he is when
we get home. The show he puts
on is worth a lot anyway.
Next saturday is Poppy Day
and somehow, when I see the
roppy chairman urging people
to buy, I think of the long rows
of disabled men I saw, pain
fully putting those red flow
ers together.
It was back in 1881. Many
faces were old before their time,
bodies were twisted, many were
struggling to get along with one
arm or one leg, but in all there
was the spirit to go on in the
face of adversely.
Don't think of your dime
think of the fellow who made
the poppy.
