T R Ì T I The republican national adminis tration has the backing of the people. Especially that portion of the people that lives in Montana. No more out* .standing result of the reoent state primary is apparent than the support of Montanans for the Harding admin istration. Congressman Carl W. Riddick, suc- - cessful candidate for the United .States senatorial nomination, mad>e his campaign upon a straight declar ation that he was a consistent sup- porter of the administration. The congressman pledged himself to con tinue that support as a member of the United States senate. The people nominated him from a field of five, thus expressing their confidence in the national administration and show ing a determination to continue its support. Congressman Riddick, who is back in the state in the interests of his campaign, is continuing along the same lines as in the primary cam paign. He is standing squarely be hind the administration and its poli cies. Recently in speaking at a con ference of republicans, Mr. Riddick declared that the results of the pri mary showed that Montana is snfely within the republican ranks. He fur ther declared that the national ad ministration is looking for a republi can senator from this state, in addi tion to the two republican members of the house. He points out that two years is a short space in which to carry out platform pledges, but de clares that a considerable start has 'been made in that direction and with support for President Harding elect- ed in the various states, the present administration will be in shape to put through every principal for which republicans stand and make a part of their creed. Congressman Riddick declares that he was much pleased with the sin cere expressions of support he had re ceived from those who for one reason or another were lined up with other candidates in the primary. He be lieves these expressions indicate cer tain republican victory in November and that the candidates of that party will be successful all along the line. CARD OF THANKS To the friends and neighbors for their kindly sympathy and beautiful flowers, to Rev. Stong, Rev. Bush, the Ladies Industrial, the Rebekah Lodge and the Odd Fellow Lodge for their assistance at the services and to all who helped smooth the way at the time of the death of our mother, Mrs. Sarah E. Logan, we wish to ex press our sincere appreciation. MR. AND MRS. JOHN TRUCHOT MR. AND MRS. W. E. LOGAN. JUDGE GREENE DISSOLVES RE Judge John J. Greene dissolved the restraining order Tuesday, forbidding Prof. Williamson from interfering with Prof. Ray in the performance of his duties as superintendent on the hearing which was held the 25th on a motion to dissolve the order. The question was raised as to whether or not Teton county was the proper plaintiff as to the legality of the Ray contract. As to the Ray contract, the law provides that the high school board and the district school board shall each have 5 votes when sitting as a joint board, and in case of a tie, the county superintendent of schools shall cast the deciding vote. From this it would appear that in case of a tie the county superintendent’s vote would make six on one side as against five on the other, and decide the matter voted upon. It is con tended, howejgsr, that the whole high school board composes part of the joint board and as it consists of seven members, the total joint board wo‘uld consist of 12, of which a ma jority would be seven. Mr. Ray’s contract was approved by a majority of the voting members of the joint board, being six as against 3 or 4 voting against it, but he did not receive 7 votes which would have been a majority of the full membership of the two boards. The action is still pending, the de fendants having only appeared spec ially. * ST.. STEPHEN'S CHURCH (Protestant Episcopal) REV.. H. E. BUSH, Minister Sunday Services: 11:00 a. m.

Patriotism and Business Every good citizen at this time should do his share toward strengthing the Federal Reserve Banking System which our govrnment has cre ated with its billion dollars of resources to stand back of its member banks and all their depositors You can contribute directly to the strength of this system, and at the same time secure its pro tection by depositing your money with' eus, since part of every dollar goes directly into the new system, where it is always ready for you when wanted- This is a suggestion for prompt action.

TETD1 SCDDDES m PRIZES County Superintendent of Schools Edythe Saylor returned from Helena Wednesday evening, where she was preparing the school exhibits for this county. Mrs. Saylor informs us that the two subjects judged prior to her return, that Teton county won a first and a second. The blue ribbon being won by Melvin Buhling of Fairfield, and was on a threshing machine, or miniature separator, under the entry of mechanical ability.- The second prize, or red ribbon, was won by a club of youngsters in the Agawam school, under the entry of spliced knots. The blue ribbon under this entry was won by a Helena public •school boy. Teton county has other entries, consisting of doll houses, furniture, maps, toys, etc., some of which are in a class to win ribbons when these displays are judged. This is Teton’s first attempt at the school exhibits, and taking into con sideration the small amount of time taken to gather displays, as well as the fact that some of the best work from the various schools was not saved at the end of last term, we think a good showing was made. Canadian Cattle Being Shipped to Montana Thousands of cattle are 1 being shipped from Canada to Montana this fall due to the fact that there is a shortage of feed there, similar _to that ex'pereinced in Montana in 1919. Sixty-seven carloads have been brought through Sweetgrass and sev eral thousand have been driven overland. Most of the cattle havo gone to va rious cattle outfits at Roy, near Lewistown, as grazing in that section is better than it has been for years and much hay has been produced in addition to the increased amount of stock being fed on the range. Mr. Roberts, collector of customs, at Great Falls, states that cattle on the Edmonton market is selling as low as 1% cents per pound and that the Canadian stockmen 'anet profiting by the experience of the Montanans and are selling their stock so as not to buy high priced feed to pull them through the-winter.
