Local FL. A.
Boys TopBronze
Division At Meet

Winslow Devereaux, president
of Browning High School Chap
ter, Future Farmers of America,
was elected fourth vice president
of the Montana Association at the
convention at Bozeman last week.
The project was at Montana State
College.
The local F. F. A. Chapter was
placed at the top of the bronze
division in the Chapter Achieve
ment contest.
According to R. W. H a rris,
local F. F. A. advisor, it is the
custom in F. F. A. Giro e 8 to
place the outstanding Chapters
or individuals in gold, silver and
bronze divisions, similar to the
blue, red and white classes of
the Danish system used at fairs
and livestock shows.
Two Chapters Flathead kali
spell) and Huntley Prof &c t
(Worden) placed in the gold
division: followed by Glasgow,
Belt and Mission Valley (St. Ig-
natius) in the silver.
The bronze division included
Browning, Malta, Fairfield and
Miles City in that order. This
placed the local Chapter sixth in
rank among the 43 active Chap
tiers in the state.
The local Chapter was further
honored by having Steve Barcus
elevated to the State Farmer
Degree. He is the second Brown
ing boy to be so honored, Win
slow Devereaux having attained
this Degree a year ago.
Both boys further distinguish
ed themselves, Devereaux by
topping the gold division in the
ownership project event, and the
latterby getting one of two silver
division awards presented to
Chapter reporters.
The local Chapter also received
the top gold award on it's Chap
ter scrap book. This book con-
tains a complete story of the
Chapter year with pictures, clip
pings and momentos of various
events, highlighted by col r
photos of buffalo grass dance
troupe, which attended the ma
tional F. F. A. convention in
Kansas City last fall.
Local Chapter members attend.
ing the state convention last
week, besides Devereaux and
Barcus, were Billy McCurdy,
Eugene Kipp, Jerry Show and
Bob Harris, advisor.
They attended meetings CT the
delegate assembly, state public
speaking contest and the annua
banquet at the Baxter Hotel.
Beside these events, the boys
were entertained at Talent Night
toured the College buildings anc
made extended and very worth
while visits to the various Colleg'
barns, poultry establishments
test plots and the like. They al
so visited the Montana S e e
Growers testing laboratory.
The s tate judging contest
were followed with keen inter
est, much valuable information
being secured.
The local boys were not enter
ed in these contests this year
as it was felt that another year.

William H. Tuohy to make "a full

is actually responsible for the mob

LATIMER said CCLC dele
CATION had visited new Superin-

demanding an intsrcultural pro-

Latimer criticized the Mayors

for failure to distribute adequate
educational material throughout
the city, especially to answer the
myth, used by the real estate trusts
to keep the Negro people in the
bounds of restrictive covenants,
that Negroes lower property
values.

WASHINGTON-FP)-Bow-
ing to the Internal Revenue
Code, Sec. of the Treasury John
Snyder this week released the
names of individuals who shaved
for corporations at $4,000 and
more per year during the fiscal
year ending in 1916.
The list, which includes toll
ing top executives and idea men
for the biggest, most respec-
table corporations that ever
forced their workers out on
strike, is limited only to "com-
pensation for personal services"
in excess of IS grand.
1t does not include the fabu-
lous sums which many on the
list took home by virtue of
their ownership of the means
of production through stocks,
bonds or control of banks. Thus,
the F. w. Woolworth Co. is
listed as having four executives
above the magic mark, but
Barbara Hutton, the poor little
rich girl who makes the mos
from the dime stores, is no
mentioned.
