W. C. DAWES, STATE PRESIDENT OF W. C. T. U. ADDRESSES BAKER WO MEN THE COUNTY FAIR Mrs. W. C. Dawes of Bozeman, State President of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union, ad dressed an audience at the Congrega tional Church in Baker last Sunday evening in an able and interesting manner. A brief history was given of the Women’s Christian Temperance Un ion whch has had over fifty years of activity, and to which, perhaps, more than to any other organization is due the achievement of National Consti tutional Prohibition. The organiza tion also had a large part in securing the adoption of the Nineteenth Am- mendraent, giving equal suffrage to women. At present, said Mrs. Dawes, the aims of the organization are world prohibition, world purity, and world peace. This is Youth year in the activi ties of the Montana W. C. T. U. Lo- The County Fair books, with pre miums and programs is now mailed out. W e intended that at least one book should be in every family in Fallon County. If you received none write or phone the Secretary. You will note that the Fair Board has covered everything produced in the County. Refer to the premium lists and get in touch, with the Division Superintendent who has charge of the division in which you wish to enter any article for a premium. Ox write the Secretary who will list your entries. All • Superintendents and Assistants have expressed their willingness to enter into tlhis Fair to the fullest extent and will welcome your co-operation, so write them or talk to them and get entries fisted. The season is most too busy to try and get a meeting of the Heads of the different Divisions, but if all will take hold, we will attain success without a meeting. We do not expect any very fast cal unions in the state are working especially in the interest of the boys, houses for the races, nor very fast and girls, enlisting and training them!cars. bu* ^ ould llke a , have in the principles of total abstinence j el*her of *he above *<> let « s kn™ and prohibition.

If good citizens would proclaim the benefits from prohibition to our state and naton, it would do much to counter-act the false propaganda of \ the organized liquor forces that pro hibition has been a failure and that condtions are worse than before. Roger Babson was quoted by the speaker as stating that prohibition has been the chief factor in the largely increased bank deposits over our country, in the number of sav ings accounts having multiplied over feur times, and in the decrease of the natonal death rate to the extent that approximately a million lives have been saved in the 5j4 years since the 18th Amendment went into effect. In some counties in Montana the cost of criminal prosecutions has de creased more than 75 per cent since saloons were closed in our state on January 1, 1918. According to Mrs. Dawes, the re cords of the Mfontana State Prison at Deer Lodge show that the average daily population of that institution has decreased 50 per cent since 1917; from 709 in that year to approximate ly 300 at the present time. The last published report of the be appreciated very much if those called upon to take pert will do so.

The Fair Board wish to thank you in advance for your support, and will expert .to'.sce you at-the -Fair. Yours truly, Fallon County Fair Board. OIL NEWS (By G. R. Moshier) The regrettable thing in the Baker Field is that the thousands of dollars that have been spent by the Baker people in oil stock and speculation in other fields, was not used for the de velopment of this field. If this haa been done, the Great Baker Field would today have been an oil pro ducing field instead of a plain wild cat territory. The striking of oil at Edgemont makes this field look more favorable than ever. It proves that oil exists in the sands that are known to be here.

The following figures are taken from State Vital Statistics: The number of deaths from alcoholism in Montana for the last three years be fore prohibition was 1485 or an aver age of 495 each year. For the next 3-year period after the saloons were closed there were 231 deaths or 77 each year. The number of persons using alcoholic beverages in the state ,has greatly decreased since the qual ity of the moonshiner’s product rs spread regarding the cessation of op erations of the California-Montana Syndicate oil well in Carter county, Mr. John L. Schaefer, chief counsel for the C. M. Syndicate, who has just returned to this section, has the fol lowing to say: “The C. MJ. Syndicate has never had any definite idea of abandonig their their drilling project in Carter coun ty. It is true that the present litiga tion with L. J. Leutbart has caused a temporary delay.

There has been a slight increase since 1923 in the number of deaths from alcoholism and this is largely attributed to .the violations of the medical prescription law. The prohbition law passed in 1916 by nearly 30,000 majority of Montana citizens was a bone dry law. This was in effect over two years when the state legislature nullified a part of it by legalizing the medical pre scription of alcohoL The W . C T.

Then two big pails of cocoa and a large quantity of cookies were served to the hungry boys. The high eating score of the evening was made by Gene Duppler, cub Scout, who ate seven hamburger sandwiches, half a dozen cookie;, a pocketful of choke-cherries washed down by two cups of cocoa, and then he admitted he wasn’t hungry. After the big feed, several boxing matches were pmt on by-the boys ev enly matched. Bud Zook, cub Scout, delayed the game when it came his •turn to box, until he emptied his poc kets of choke-cherries. , The Scouts arrived in Baker about •9 o’clock “rarin’ to go again” soon. ; The Scouts will furnish lots of en tertainment at the County Fair this year. There will be bicycle races, foot ■ races, boxing and other contests by the Scouts., The Scouts, met in the basement o f Corning, Iowa, but was located in ^Geraldine, this state for about 'll years.

The post office business has long grown ouj of the old quarters and a larger build ing was much tyeded. Few people realize the tremendous amount of mail that is handled at the Baker Post Office. Mail goes through this office for some twenty| other post of fices in the south country, and a lot of space is needed for this mail alone to say nothing of the local mail which is increasing each year.

It is also an accepted fact that conditions under which the house is now open arc such as to warrant a liberal patrofiage on toe part or all of us. Those conditions are that the elevator will not only be kept .open the year round, but will also handle all kinds of grain for which fflere Is an established market. That the ne>v owner and manager will bc absolute-.
