Candidate For Republican Nomination For Sheriff The Montanan is in receipt of information that the list o.f candidates f o r \-thh republican nomination, for sheriff of this county will be augumented by the filing of Charles W. Wymer uf this city. The publisher of 'this paper has known Mr. Wy­ mer for a number of years, and have always found him to be an upright, honorable and consci­ entious citizen, and we believe that the voters of this county could look a long while before finding a more able man for the position. As yet we have no knowledge of what his platform will be, but from past experien­ ces, we are sure it will be for the best interests of Teton, county. day where they had been mak­ ing arrangements for the spring work there. SCOTT L E M Washington, May 7.— I f re­ turned for a second term Con­ gressman Scott Leavitt, in an­ nouncing his candidacy for re­ nomination and election, this week stated that his entire time would be devoted to serving the people of his district and repre­ senting them in congress to the best of his ability. Monday he Mailed his nominating- petition tp'-'Shcrstary of '\State Stewart, which insures his name appear­ ing on the nominating ballot at the primary elections on August 27. As at the 1922 election he asks that the following words appear after his name on the ballot : “ F or 'the greatest good to the greatest number.” In his nominating petition Mr. Leavitt says: “ I f T am nominated and elect­ ed I will during my term of of­ fice \or>in t lie to guavd the in­ terests of those to whom the na­ tion owes a debt of gratitude for their defense of its exist­ ence; to work consistently and to the best of my ability for the good of all the people through such measures as will best ad­ vance and protect the social, agricultural, business and in­ dustrial needs of Montana and the general welfare and peace o f its people: to stand for jus­ tice and for the enforcement of law and the preservation of ¡those instutitions existing under jthe constitution of the United ¡States which guarantees the liberties o f our nation and its citizens.” ‘Td like to borrow $50 to buy a cow I saw yesterday,\ said a farmer to the cashier of a country bank. The cashier hesitated. “No, I can’t lend, you $50 for a cow, but I’ll let you have $100 or $125.” Astonishment was written all over the face of the man seeking funds. “Why. I can’t afford to pay that amount for a cow. I’m rather hard up just now.” “ If you can afford to buy a cow at all, you can afford to b»y a good cow instead of a poor one,\ replied the cashier. Then he proceeded to ex­ plain just why a high-priced cow was cheaper than one costing only $50. “The average cow, producing about 165 pounds of butterfat valued at 50 cents a pound, earns $82 as a year’s gross income,\ he said. “Deducting the. cost qf feed leaves a profit of only $10- to $12, and does not -take into ac­ count the labor involved, deprecia^ tion,' and other overhead expenses. Now can you honestly afford to buy this kind of a cow? A $100 or |125 cow .jvill produce 300 to 350 pounds of butterfat. You can figure the prof­ its for yourself.\ , April, 1924, did not vary a great deal from normal except in precipitation and the number of cloud days. The tempera­ tures ere about the same for 1922 and 1923. There was a lower peccipitation with a larg­ er number of cloudy and partly cloudy days. A meeting for the purpose of discussing the possible outbreak of grasshoppers on the Porter Bench this spring will be held in Pendroy on Thursday even­ ing, May 8.

A demonstration will be put on showing how to prepare this poison and how it should be spread over the fields. The habits of dierent kinds of grass­ hoppers and how to identify their eggs will also be disussed.
