strange, mysterious female quirk

dirt on your feet now you can
stay outside and eati"
There's nothing that is quite so
strange as how a woman's mind
can change. One day Mirandy
will complain cause we've had
weeks without a rain, and then
when it begins to storm she's mad

She'll buy a hat with greatest
glee and then she'll go to church
and see the same thing on some
other head and whisper, Il wish

gals with too much weight, then
say that fatter ones look great;
she changes ideas ev'ry day, I
never know what I dare say. On
just one thing she stays the same,
and that is how I cause her shame.

DR.. Butler said there was only
one case of bovine tuberculosis in
Montana last year. Bangs disease,
he said, continues to cause "a great
deal of furry" but he sees no par
ticular cause of worry, since it has
been proved that the disease can be
eradicated, under range conditions,
'by common sense alone"
One of the needs of the livestock
industry in Montana, DR.. Butler said,
is more young veterinarians. cit is
tough that we do not have a vet
Urinary college in Montana" he
added. Colorado has 800 applicants
for veterinary study, with facilities
for only so, while at Washington
State college only one student from
Montana was admitted to the vet
Urinary school last year.
DR.. w. J. Cashmere of Helena,
past president of the Montana Wild
life federation, urged joint commit
tees of livestock men and sportsmen
to tackle common problems of these
groups. To improve relations be-
tween them, he advised stockmen 10
have signs on the posted property to
read: mo trespassing, hunting or
fishing without permission. Kindly
leave your car at the ranch house."
He also urged stockmen to assist
in maintenance of a strong state
sportsmen's organization.

pointed out that lands which are
under consideration for purchase by
users include soil conservation and
grazing service lands and are not
forest service lands, as is assumed
in some cases. He said that his joint
committee favored a plan whereby
all such lands primarily suitable for
grazing would be granted to the state

leasing the land to any suitable par
ties, such as stockmen, dude ranch

Inspect Experiment Station
Following the technical talks,
visitors inspected the experimental
cattle and breeding herd of the
college. A tea was held for stock
mems wives at Herrick hall.
Declared from the convention floor
the "most outstanding speech we
have heard at this convention" was
the talk given by Bill Michael, 1948
state president of the Future Farm
ers of America. Michael stressed the
point that lack of proper training
at home and in the classrooms
brought about the grave situation of
young people being unable to accept
responsibility.
Parents" Michael said, Should
consider it their obligation to give
their children the correct kind of
guidance, see to it that they realize
the benefits derived from religion
and good spiritual life and that they
receive as much education as pos
sible.

days and all headed for BoZeman
May 1915 to attend the 64th annual
convention of the Montana stock
growers association.
"Neckyoke Jones' was there from
his shanty on Lone Pine creek. In
all, almost 1000 conventioneers
heard a program of speakers who
gave a picture of the problems con
fronting the cattle industry today.
Presiding at the 1913 convention
was Vice President c. K. Warren,
Deer Lodge, who stepped in to take
the place of w. P. Sullivan, presi-
dent of the association. Sullivan, at
convention time, was hospitalized
as a result of a horse falling on
him. Present reports indicate he is
now back on his Square Butte ranch,
again hazing cattle.
During the sessions, work of Mon
tana State college was praised, atti-
tude of government bureaus was
scored and selection of a special
committee to consider desirable live
stock legislation was urged.
Public Relations
Need for a sound, continuing pub
lie relations policy on the part of
stockgrowers vas emphasized by
Alan Rogers, Ellensburg, Wash,
chairman of the public relations COM
mittee of the American National
Livestock association.
Declared Rogers: "The very fact
that most people who purchase the
meat products we grow are still of
the impression that cattlemen make
movies in their spare time, or just
raise beef between rodeos is proof
enough that we, as an industry, are
a bit tardy developing our public
relations program"
Many problems of interest TO
stockgrowers were explained by F.
E. Mollin, Denver, secretary of the
American National Livestock asso-
citation. Of foot-and-mouth disease,
he said: mo recent change of i'm
portance in the situation in northern
Mexico. The vaccination program is
just getting underway and the BAL
hopes to be able to pinch off some
points which are rather ~protruding
northward from the buffer zone, thus
Strengthening out the quarantine
line and slowly pushing it a bit
southwark"
Concerning price and cost trends,
Mollin said: "While there has been
a lot of talk about the dangers Oh
runaway initiation, there are a good
many indications now that the peak
of the boom has been passed-bar-
ring, of course, any real shooting wal
in the near future, which I, for one
do not believe is in the cards"
Stockmen Optimistic

D'Ewart, Wilsall, pointed out tina
he wished that every member o

Newest in Purse Seiners May Change
Japan's Deep-Sea Fish Industry

TOKYO, Sept. 8-California me-
thods may soon revolutionize ia
pans deep-sea fisheries industry,
according to an International News
Service dispatch.
The ms report says that an ex-
per'mental purse seiner, converted
from a traditional 100-ton fishing
boat powered with sails and an aux
iliary diesel engine, has proven so
efficient and economical that other
fishermen may follow the example.
With fish providing two-fifths Of
Japan's diet needs, improved me-
thods Of deep-sea fishing would
make a heavy contribution towards
solving Japan's critical food prob
lem.
The only obstacle to a mass con-
version into purse seiners Japa-

cost involved. Fishermen are short
of cash.
