DLxon resumed his official post at the state house at an early hour Wednesday morning, after an absence of two weeks, he and Mrs. Dixon having returned Tues day night, from Missoula. Among his first acts was the signing of a large number of documents and attending 'a brief meeting of the state board of examiners, of which he is chairman. During he forenoon the governor was compelled to answer questions of his visitors regarding the automo bile aecident of which he and Mrs. Dixon were victims when they first went east, the accident taking place ^between Chicago and West Baden. The governor talked lightly of the af fair, stating that he received^ only ta few minor bruises. Mrs. Dixon, was, however, not quite so fortunate, it being found after they returned to Chicago that her collar bone had been * displaced, an injury from which she now is about fully recovered. Accompanied by Mrs. Dixon, the govenior left Helena on October 14 for French Lick, Ind., to attend the conference of governors, and from there went to Washington where he 4 took part in the conference of the governors with President Coolidge. While in Missoula Governor Dixon in an interview, based on facts he had gathered while attending the conference of the governors, gave statements to the effect that \nar- . cotics probably' are doing greater harm and destroying more people in the United States at the present time than is poisonous liquor. “ There will be no permanent re vival of business in this country un- jtil Europe has been rehabilitated., “The republican platform in the next presidential election will be ab solutely dry. “ The phenomenal thing about the east, about the whole country, is the great interest in the building of good roads. t “A hundred housand immigrants a year are entering the United States illegally.” Oklahoma City, Oct. 31.—A possi ble delay of almost a week in the impeachment trial of Governor J. C. Walton loomed today as the predic tion was made in legislative circles .that the senate court of impeach ment would consent to a brief con tinuance should the executive re quest it when the hearing opens to morrow. In such event, a postponement at least until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week was considered entirely probable. While there has ' been no official indication to what course the gov ernor’s ^counsel will pursue, observers previously had «expressed the belief that an application for a continuance would be their first move should the court override a general demurrer which < they expect to' file to the 23 charges of official misconduct against the executive. C0ÜT1; BEST Washington, Nov. 1.—The country’s agricultural position is the best it has been in three years, the depart ment of agriculture announced , in its monthly review. “Purchasing power of farm pro ducts, though still at a disparity as compared with, industrial products, is now- ni the highest- point .in three years,” the review states. “More over, farm- prices for agricultural products are higher at a season when farmers actually have something to sell. The spring wheat territory continues in distress. Fanners in this territory are also discouraged at the low price of potatoes and inci dental crops. There is considerable talk of diversion, and especially of increasing dairy stock. “Prices of crops as a group in September were slightly higher than in August, and 28 per cent higher than September a year ago. Prices of livestock products as a group made the largest gain of any one month since February, 1922. By specific products, advances were made in cotton, wheat, hogs, eggs, butter and lambs. Corn and potatoes registered declines.” PUBLIC AUCTION We will sell at public auction, 2% miles north of Collins, 4 3-4 miles southeast of Brady, Wednesday, No vember 7th, 22 head of horses and mules, cattle, farm machinery, in cluding our household goods. .This is to be one of the largest sales ever pulled off in this community.

They telephoned to Choteau for assistance and Clyde Kraber went out for them. After viewing the stalled car it was decided to tow it to town. All went well until they were nearing the town of Bole, when he front wheel o f the Kish car broke, causing the car to turn over with the occupants. Mr. Mozer was thrown clear of the wreck and his face, hands and legs were severely lactrated and he was rendered unconscious. Mrs. Kish was also clear of the car, and was not badly cUt up, although she had tht misfortune to have some of her ribs broken. John Kish, the driver, was pinned beneath tht overturned car, and it was with considerable diffi culty that Mr. Kraber and Mrs. Kish were able to lift the 'car enough to tnable them to get him out. His face Near Bole was> cuti;in numerous places by the glass- from the windshield and the fiesh- -froi& his cheeks was litterly ground.-to pi tees, but fortunately no bones' were broken. - The- injured were loaded in the Krabtr* car and brought to town where Dr. H. T. Rhoads administered first aid.. Mr. Mozer is at the Cho teau Hospital at present and Mr. and Mrs, Kish are at their home, and, ac cording tp the doctor, doing as well as coulcLbe expected. ■While all are in considerablt pain, no serio'us consequences are antici pated. \... Hallowe’en has come and gone. The .boys and girls doing the usual stunts of soaping windows, tick tack ing, etc, but no damage of any kind to property has been reported. The town officials are to be congratulated on their handling of the situation and the youngsters are deserving of much praise for the maimer in which they heeded the, warnings of the town marshal and the orderly, manner in which they conducted themselves.

Davis for president club of Marshall county.” Plans for organizing similar clubs throughout the country were discuss ed. GREAT BRITAIN ACCEPTS TERMS H London',: Oct. 30.—Great Britain has accepted 4 the terms specified by Pre- Mier Poincare of France for a con ference .&£ experts to consider the re- paration^question. - T h e ‘ i^nerican Government will be acquainted v£lth the willingness of all the countries concerned in the repar- ation problem to participate in the conference and will be asked immed iately to designate its member of the committee of experts. IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE Voters of Teton county will remem ber how the Csoteau Acantha during the last nominating election cam paign, spread the propaganda of how I. S. Martine, then sheriff, was lax in his duty in enforeng the prohibition laws of Montana. It insinuated that he was unfit for the office, and paint ed in glowing colors, a word picture of how Teton county would be the Saraha of the world if their candi date should be elected. In the elec tion the voters saw fit to give Mr. Reiquam, their man, a large majority and subsequently elected him at the genreal election. In last week’s Issue of that paper they have the following explanation as o why the humidity of this county has not been changed. “It would be regrettable if the general public were to censure the law enforcement officials of the state for a seeming laxity in enforcing a law, wherein the of ficers hands are completely tied, at least insofar as taking the in- itative in ferreting out and bring ing to justice, hose who are en gaged in the violation of the pro hibition law. “In a raid made some time ago, the sheriff of Teton county found thirteen gallons of illicit whisky and made several arrests. Re cently the sheriff was compelled to destroy the liquor which was to have been used as evidence against the men. The destruc- ' tion of\the liquor was in conform ity with the ruling by the distiict court, and when the cases come, up for trial, which is unlikely now that the evidence has been destroyed, it would be practically impossible to secure a conviction with the evidence safely out of . . the way.” Now, we know of no changes that have been made in the prohibition laws of the state, other than the right of justices of th epeace to issue search warrants on the recommen dation of the county attorney. This clause being added, according to the sponcers of the bUl, in order to make -Hie enforcement rosier. Now what we would like to know, does the Acantha mean that it was insincere in its writings against the former sheriff or does it mean that it makes a difference whose ox is gored? HE ALMOST YELLED A Jew, who had never been up in an airplane, desired mightily to state the experience. But he thought the aviator’s price too steep. After much haggling, the airship man made the proposition that he would take the Jew and his wife up in the machine on condition that if they didn’t holler it wouldn’t cos them a cent; but if they yelled it would cost them thirty bucks. They took it, got into the machine and up they went. The avi ator put in a few fancy stunts—but no sound came from his passengers. He pulled some a little more daring— but still no outcry. Then he looped the loop—but nothing stirred. Sur prised he addressed the Jew with the query, “What kind of folks are you that you didn’t holler on that one?” \Oi yoi,” came the answer, “I almost yelled ven ve lost mamma out—but I didn’t.’’—Ex.

Busha, Jr., manager of, the Helena suboffice of the Veterans' bureau, who has just returned from the meet ing. Frank T. Hook of Townsent, coun ty attorney of Broadwater county, was chairman of the committee on time and place, the committee se lecting St. Paul as the convention city for 1924. C. E. Pew of Helena was on the committee to make a re port to congress on the further de centralization of veteran’s aid activ ities. Mr. Busha was also prominent in committee work. Mr. Busha predicted that laws giv ing further adjusted compensation to veterans will be enacted by the next congress. Montana Legion men are already discussing sending a special train to the St. Paul convention. T UNCLE SAM Denver, Nov. 1.—President Cool idge and congress will be urged to place a heavier tariff on wheat im ported into the United States and to establish a government board or bureaU with power to purchase and merchandise the exportable surplus, George C. Jewett, general manager of the American \Wheat Growers, asso ciation, said here today. The announcement of Mr. Jewett followed a two day conference here between representatives of the wheat growers organization and the Lowden committee, at which plans for cen tralizing the control of co-operative wheat marketing were discussed. Mr. Jewett said his association would urge that the government bu reau or board be given authority to sell the wheat in the world markets, and that any lo3s taken on the ex portable surplus be prorated back on the entire wheat crop. The plan was originated and agreed upon in an executive meeting of the board of trustees of the Wheat Growers’ association yesterday. Mr. Jewett said. He declared he would go to Washington early this month and lay the plan before the govern ment. Men’s good grade leather vests at $8.75. HIRSHBERG’S.
