To the boy raising the best corn or potatoes, or the girl making the test corset cover in their respective counties. the Montana State Fair, Sept. 22-27, is offering free entertain- ment at Helena during Fair week, Including hotel bills, meals and free admittance at all times to the fair. Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific railway, Is the donor of the medals and each poli- ty winner is to receive a handsome bronze badge, with name engraved upon it, while the three winners of first prizes in the statewide com- petition will receive gold medals, with silver and bronze medals as sec- ond and third prizes. The keen competition in these events is conducive to an awakening of interest by. the young Montanans in the pursuit of useful duties, and when they come to Helena in Septem- ber and sea the Treasure State's natural resources on pretentious dis- play, they will think that the win- ning of the county contest is a worthy honor. In many counties last year there was great interest shown. Yellow- stone county had over three hundred entries for the badges, and Custer county over two hundred. Every winner who was a guest of the Fair at Helena last year wrote a personal letter to Secretary Breitenstein or Superintendent Cobley of the Agri- cultural College, expressing thanks for what they all conceded \a fine time at the Fair.\ ROAD REPAIRS.

TOWN HYGIENE How many persons in this town realize that the town's appearance is a vital point in its commercial life —Everyone will admit thet a man twill be more .likelly be/become suc- cessful if he is well groomed. Whet is true of a man is true of this town. It is not good poliek to be so wrapped 'up in the quest for doe late that we neglect to keep the town in order. Physiology and hygiene teach us that to keep the body healthy we meet keep it clean. and this applies in equal force to the health of this town, or in fact, every town. It is just as necessary to keep the towa clean end to give the buildings a new dress occasion- ally as it is for a person to have clean laundry and new clothes. Why does the rising generation prefer the progressive city? Of course there may be several rea- sons, but prime among them stands head and shoulders above the others, the fact that a town becomes dis- tasteful if it has a slovenly swear- ance. if your boy goes away to cat- iege—and - we will suppose, for s sake at comparison thee the college town Is a progressive one -what is his impression of this town, his home town, when he returns after four years or so, after having four years Of his life when his ruled is in the most receptive motel for Wager and better things. Does he like the led town and is he proud to being his chum of the campus home with heel will 'he be willing to come iiKkl ivt here to make his start in :che' , beisiness world. Remember that 'fltere may be much truth in the ek- pression \what we never had we nee. er miss\ but your boy had four Years in a progressive town and he es going to miss the clean streets, the neat lawns and. the well kept homes If they are niot here. If you would keep your boy here in this town, your only salvation is in making this a better town, in power rights, etc., are now con - which to Live. Do notewait for some Cie:tiered worth around $100,000, new; one else to set the pace. Get and will be retained until opportun- busy with the rake, the hammer and ity offers to nails and. some paint. Do not put from them. It off until a more convenient time, that time never comes. Of course, You are not responsible for your TEMPLETON neighbor's building or lawn, but by making a State you'll be doing him WARNS KENDALL MINE 18 NOT TO BE RE -OPENED, After thoroughly sampling • the workings of the Kendall mime at Kendall lessees who considered the project at reopening the property out of which the Finch and Camp- bell company of Spokane took $1,500; 000 in profits, decided not to under- take it, according to information giv- en, out at the office in Spokane. The company dropped operations a year ago. The mine will therefore, not be worked again in the near future. So fair els is now known its owners do not intend to resume operations The holdings of the company water - secure some returns a favor and indirectly a Paver to this town. If your neighbor has pride, he will went his place to GRAIN BUYERS THE look as well as yours. If no one breaks the ice, the town will deter- iorate, end perchance, in time, disa pear. \Now therefore, I, S. V. Stewart, as governor of the state of Montana, upon recomnien,datton of the livestock sanitary board do hereby declare all of the last above named counties in illtarantine oh spacount of cattle scab and do hereby Pre.hibit the Olivine, driving or trailing of cattle out of the said counties of Valley, Blaine, Hill, Chouteate Teton, Cascade Mus- setehell, and Yellowstone into any other counties of Ws state, except upon the written permission of the livesakk sanitary board and the State veterinary surgeon. \Aill railroad companies, common carriers and all persons intending to ship trail, or drive cattle from any of the said counties into any other county in this state must give due and sufficient \ notice to state vet- erinary entegeon at Helena and must before moving such cattle, obtain of 'the state veterinary surgeon writ- ten permit stating that such stock are clean and tree from scabies and have not been exposed to this We- ald*. BERT DECKER WRITES EXPERIENCES EAST. Adams county friends will be in- terested in hearing the latest from Bert Decker who is at present reek-- .og on his claim about 80 =Mee from Moore. Mont. He and wife and chil- dren and a nearby neighbor with hie wife decided several days before the Fourth to spend the national hnlitley at Moore with relatives. So they made preparations a few days pre- vious and started for the deints. in the course of the trdp there Was a rarer to toed, and the water being high and overt the party deckled to go on a few miles and miss the wide Pond and end a narrow craning Weil the upshot of it was they missed the road and were lost in the \bad lands.\ Night came on and the foal and feed was used up and nothing dada'. They came across a closed shack the , next morniing and on pry ing oph the door found a few quarts of flour a bit of lard, baking powder 1and some corn syrup. Mrs. Decker always! was a master haul at build- ing biscuits and the bunch was pret- ty hungry so she jest filled them on the best they ever tasted. They bed no horse feed but the horses came in fore their share of the We- mita The next day along in the evening the party came upon a tittle hamlet and Bert says that it looked as big as Chicago. They found their bearings at this place and drove to (Moore In time to celebnate. Ho says for hie Adams county friends net to worry as a new bridge is under con- structIon and the bad lands episode I. olosed.—Adattne Co. (Ia.) Free- ! ;ILO \Dry Homestead\ Bill The senate has passed a bill pro- viding that whenever the secretary of the interior shall find that in tracts of lend in Montana and other weetent states out:idea to entry under the en- larged homestead act do not have up- on them eueficient supply of water suitable for domestic purposes as would Make residence continuously upon them possible, he may design - ate suich treats of land not to ex- ceed one million scree in each state and thereafter 'they will be subject to entry without the necessity of residence. In such events the entryman shall in good faith cultivate one -sixteenth of his area during his second year and one eighth during the third year and one-fourth during the fourth and fifth years, and after entry and until final proof the entrynie.n shall reside in such distance of the land as will enable hen to farm the same. PREPARING FOR CROP MOVING' GROWING INTEREST IN SILOS CO-OPERATION OF THE SHIPPER AND THE RAILROADS IS SOUGHT. (With the usual ilt4M of business in- cident to this period of the year, the railroads are °tenting trouble in the form. of a shortage of cars. In anticipation of this the rail- roads have repaired and added to their equipment, but it is the fear of thoee in change of railway opera- tion that this alone will not suffice awl to avoid serieue delays and con- gestion the shippers and the railroads must actively co-operate Delay ion the part of shippers in loading and unloading, cars es often the direct cause of the carrier's in- ability to furnish oars, whereas if the shipper would toad and unload promptly and when consistent load oars to their rated capacity diffi- culties incident to the rush of busi- neeis would, it is believed be approx- imately relieved. The soeution to the problem ap- peens to be cooperation, prompt load- ing and unloading of oars by the shipper, and prompt movement and delivery of cars by the railroads. With kilts end in view, last year the California railroad commission as wee as the railroad commission of Oregon and several other etates took cognizance of the conditions, 'and with the hearty support of many trade and commercial organi- zation.s, developed a &spirit of co- operation between the &Uppers and the railroads which very substanti- ally relieve the situation without serious delay or congestion • any- where. rrhe plan garve such genentli satis- faction that in all probability it will soon be a mutual 'working arrange- ment. Present indications are that in the near future demand. for oars will be very heavy and even with a large supply of equipment in ser- viceable condition to prevent •delay and congeption in supplying and Waving cars active co-operation of t cateders and the shtppens most ob- tain. Mrs. Alice B. Henley has final- ly received her commission as postmistress at Moore, it having been %sued this month. By an wagtail! coincidence, Mrs. Henley's 4 commiesion bears the date of isitn- mete the same as the anniversary of her birth. DUG, OR UNDERGROUND SILO FINDING FAVOR AMONG THE FARMERS. The corn acreage in Montana is considerably increased over previous. years and there is a growing inter - eat in entlitege as a means of pre- serving the tforage. Settlers who are earnestly trying to perfect their titles to homes, and meanwhile to make ends meet are wondering how they are going to raise the money to build the silos with. It colas from three hun- dred to five hundred dollars to build a wooden or concrete till*. There is a type at silos that seems to bib growing in favor under such circum- stances as ours that is both 'eat- isfaotory and cheap. It is known as the Pit, Dug, or Underground It is made by digging a circular pit of desired capacity, and cement- ing the sides. L, L. Wilson, of Pe- lee, agriculturist for Custer county, will be glad to ferule& the specifica- tions for such silos to those 'who apply. „Mr. Wilson has over forty vari- eties of corn under cultivatIoit St wir baux and Mlles City. About 500 boes and girls in Custer county are competing in the industrial contests under Mr. Wilsonts direction, for the trip to the State Fair at Helena which is given to the boy or girl winning first place in each county in growing corn or potatoes or in sew- ing. 'Me buster county boys are competing for other prizes amount- ing to about ;500, given by the var- ious city commercial clubs. More corn, more forage, and more evestoc will give a better direction to Mon- tana agriculture. (While here arranging for an ex/ Met to be placed in the Montana din Play to be shown through the Mid- dle West states, H. H. Webber of Great Fable made a trip through the farenteg country viewing the crops tukl said the groin and hay crops around Moore were by far the best of any he had seen in his trav- els through the state and the .North- west. ',Mr. 'Webber plans to interest the Moore Oommerclail club in plac- ing a good grain exhibk in his Mon- tana display tent, *Mich he will car- ry through Nebraska, Minot*, Iowa and Wisconsin for ten weeks dur- ing Augnet, September and October, for the purpose of attracting settlers to the Judith Daft Chief Grain Inspector J. E. Temple ton warns the Montana grain deal- ers to beware of an eastern print- ing house that is sending samples of a grain storage ticket to the Mon- tana grain trade claiming the ticket conforms with the new rulings of the Montana state grain inapeotion partment. Mr. Templeton Says the ticket has not been authorized by his depart- ment and that it ()Wits sevens), Ian- portant items that are positively re- quired by law, and it also Incorpor- ates matters that the law does not authorize. Mr. Templeton stake a form of storage ticket is BOW being prepar- ed that will in all respects conform to the reettirements of the Montana law. Copies of it will be sent to the wain trade and to any persons and firms appleing for it. FIRM CHANGES. A deal has been made whereby H. 0.

GATHERING DATA FOR AGRICULTURAL BOOKLET. Agents will shortly be pieced in the field by the department of ag- rioulture and publicity to obtain data for a new edition of the book \Mon- tana\ the Bible that hits converted thousands of farmers to take advant- age of the Treasure state opportun- ities. The field work will require about two weeks, and the work will be is- sued sometime in November. The department intends to gather more than an estimate of the acreage sown in this state to various crops. Heretofore the figures of the de- partment have always been taken as to acreage, but the Montana de- partment believes they are inade- quate, and do not truly represent de- velopment that has taken place in the shine PREVENT WEEVIL IN- VADING MONTANA State Entomologist Is Sending Exhibits to .
