Heart Trouble for Sure
Cook was left with land and hold
ings valued at more than $1,000, 900.
He told Axel Holstrom soon after the
sale, "Well it's not the first time
1 have started over. This time it's
something I know. Let's build up
something bigger and better than
ever before"
But the 6-foot 2-inch frame of A.
B. was tired, the light blue eyes that
had looked holes through a thou
sand men were a bit cloudy, his dark
hair was thinning and gray at the
temples. Losing his cattle was as
hard for Cook as it would have been
to lose his children.
Within a few weeks after the sale
he entered a Helena hospital. Just
a few days more than a month after
the sale ga. B." was dead. The doc
tors report said heart disease. The
friends who knew him and his love
for his cattle, thought so too.

"Sure, but I thought you didn't

them to the Helena place"
"No, you're not. No, you're not!
No chickens, no dealt If you don't
sell me the chickens the whole deal
on the place falls through"
Cook got the chickens.
IFS Yours"
He was just as brusque, but more
tolerant, in his business dealings a
few years before this incident with
Hollie Herrin, father of Tom Herrin.
Hol1ie Herrin had sold Cook some
horses. 1t was almost two years be-
fore Cook could manage to pay for
the horses because he was short on
cash at the time.
Several years after payment vas
made, Herrin saw Cook in Helena
and asked him if he had any bulls
for sale. Cook said yes, and Herrin
said he would be out to look them
over IN a mOnJn or so.
A few days later, George Sim
picked out one of the best range
bulls in the lot, sent it in a railway
car, together with a caretaker, to
Wolf Greek, Herrin's loading point,
with instructions from Cook.
"You helped me out when I need
ed it; now I a pay the interest.
This is your bull" The bull was
shipped prepaid; Herrin was never
able to get Cook to accept payment
of either the freight or the bull.
Although Beau Carlos and Cuba's
Panama were the mainstays of the
Cook breeding program, there were
others used to advantage in the herd.
Premier Sd was one, a bull also
going back to Beau Brummel and
Lamplighter, and of course Anxiety
4th.
An Epic Event
But now we are back to the start
of our story, the dispersion sale of
the Cook herd in October, 1923.
The sale started at noon on the 18th,
and within three hours $196, 600
worth of cattle had been sold, al
most 1000 head.
The following day the remainder
of the cattle on the Harvey ranch
had been sold and the crowd moved
to another ranch near Townsend
where the main show herd was kept
At the end of the third day OF
selling the clerks total showed
$453, 700. This was not an impressive
average on the number sold, and
Holstrom felt that a qualified Here
ford auctioneer might have raised
this total $4,000 to 500, 900. How
ever, the auctioneer who knew the
cattle best could not make arrange
ments within the short time avail
able to sell the cattle.
Walter Hill, Wilsall, was one o
the largest buyers at the sale; hi
check totaled some $136 900. TIL
Castle Mt. Cattle & Sheep Co. a

After this step the chute will look

roll it up in a neat bundle starting

such as is used in grocery stores 70

slack is necessary because when the
package is dropped from the plane
the rip cord will break the two
strings tied around the entire chute

the remaining string, the chute viii
be pulled open.
Test Load Limit
Now put the supplies or whatever
IS to be dropped into a sack and tie
this sack to the parachute by means
of the clotheslines which are shown
in Figure 6 below the knot. It ID
a good idea to tie a length Oh
clothesline to the rip cord. Tie the
free end of this line to something
inside. Then, when over the target
the chute and supplies are kicket
out the door and the rope, tied to tn.
plane, pulls the rip cord.
Mr.. Barrett says he was informe,
that each square foot of chut
should carry one pound. At his alti
tude, about 1000 feet, this was abou
twice too much for groceries. H
suggests that prospective users do
little practicing by using differen
weights of dirt in sacks until tn
safe load Is determined.

Competition

The livestock and meat Indus
try Is noted for its keen COM
petition. Livestock is raised on
almost all Of the six million
farms in the United States
Each farm II a separate and
independent business, with 4
wide choice of markets in which
to sell livestock.
Meat animals are processed
by thousands of slaughterers in
the United States. These are
separate and independent BUSH
nesses, competing for live ami
mails on one side and for retail
trade on the other.
Meat is sold to consumers in
more than 3OO-thonsand retail
food stores in this country
all competing for consumer dol
lars. Shoppers have a choice of
many stores in which to buy
meat.
Every segment of the meat
industry is known for its ag-
gressive competition. This is a
healthy condition one that
helps insure efficient low-cost
meat production and process
sing, and quick response to
consumer demand

The boys took a substantial

they reached Bobby, it was too
late.
Although Bobby had been able
to swim, chances are that all the

Most swimming accidents and

Accidents can happen to even the

AMERICA has it's work cut out
in this unsettled world. Reliable
reports coming out of Germany
say anti-semiticism is a prevalent
IS it was in the hey days of Hit
Ter and those days proceeding the
advant of National Socialism. The
only reason we don't hear much
about it is its played down by po-
litical leaders, hushed up by the
church leaders, and Of course when
some political demogogue bursts
forth in open TRADE against Jews,
he is frowned upon by the more
respectable, much like the greet
ing given Rankin or Eastland.
What a World, but you amt
heard nothing yet. Right here in
! our dear old "America," where
freedom is talked about as casual
ly as the greeting Of "Howdy do
to your next door neighbor, we
are still witnessing lynching of Ne
groes, and xxx floggings of not
only Negroes, but whites as well.
And right up North you could
have read a sign at a summer re-
sort which read "For Christians
Only"
It must be quite humiliating to
our diplomats outside of the u.
S. to face such headlines in the
foreign press as xxx beating Of
Negroes, floggings of white Min
listers" and the Burning of a
Firery cross before homes of Ne
groes in a white community"
But why America will stand by
and watch such happenings right
here under our nose is a puzzle to
me. More puzzling when you con-
slider that America was conceived
in a revolution and it is still a re-
bellious nation, and stands for
nothing it doesn't like.
We have a congress to thrash
out difficulties Of any problem
which effects the welfare Of the
nation, and protect it's prestige
in other parts of the world.
Whether the advocates of the civil
rights program were presenting
an empty gesture, or were in real
ity, thinking Of America and hu-
mainly, we don't know. Thus far,
it would seem like the gesture was

swimmers and result in tragedy.
People who swim in dirty water,
ir in unknown waters which
might be polluter, take foolish
chances because they can easily
take in harmful germs that cause
serious illnesses.
Most Of us, adults as we'll as
children, enjoy swimming. Com
mon sense and moderation will
keep it a healthful, refreshing
sport instead of the hazardous TX
~perience that some make it thru
carelessness and taking foolish
chances.
