TO HONOR PARENTS OF’ INDIANA HEROES One of the oldest log cabins in the country, which stands on the Gillan farm in Lawrence county, Ind., will be made a shrine dedicated to the memory of Indiana’s supreme war mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. David P. Gillan, of Lecsville, who lost three sons in the World war, according to plans announced hy the Gillan post of the American Legion, Bedford, Ind. Gillan post, named in honor of the Gillan boys, announced the plans for the shrine immediately after the father, David T . Gillan. seventy-one years old, dropped dead at his home at Lecsville recently. State records show Mr. and Mrs. Gillan to have been the most sorely tried and the only parents in the state to have given and lost three sons to their country's service in the World war. The three hoys were the only hoys of the family and entered the uriiiy in the spring of 1918.

Legionnaires declare It will be made a shrine. To Reduce to Minimum Illiteracy in U. S. A. The Americanism commission at na tional headquarters of the American Ligion is making a determined light to reduce to a minimum illiteracy in the Initial .Slates. The commission has been battling this menace in Amer ica through its American education week, lield annually through presiden tial proclamation. Since it was inaug urated in 1921, tin* United Stales lias come up from the eleventh in illit eracy among the enlightened nations, to ninth. As regards illiteracy in the United States, Garland W. Powell, director if the Americanism commission and u member of tiie national illiteracy com mission of the United States, revealed the following information: “Figures based on actual tests show that one out of every sixteen persons over ten years of age in the United States cannot read or write; 0 per cent of the population of our country over ten years of age have had no schooling whatever, and 4,931,905 per sons in the United States over ten admit that they cannot write—how many did not admit it? “Approximately one out of every four men drafted and examined for military service during the World war was illiterate. “We spend over seventeen times more for luxuries in our nation than we cio for education. In 1923, in 201 cities of 5,000 population or more, there was reported a shortage of more than 300,000 seats in the schools. “The Americanism commission in connection with its American educa tion week made it a point to en lighten the public to these portentious conditions in the hope that the level of illiteracy in the United States may he lowered through education. In our American education week we set aside a day known ns Illiteracy day, at which time all interested organiza tions and agencies considered il literacy problems and took construc tive steps to minimize that menace in this country.’’ New Legion Posts in Department of Mexico About every new moon shines upon a new American Legion post in the department of Mexico. The latest post to lie formed in the “department!) caliente\ is Juasteca post No. 0. which is located at Mata Redondn. Vera Cruz, across the I’nnueo river from Tampico. Other posts will he formed soon, as signatures for an application for a charter at Vera Cruz are now being obtained and the American vice consul in charge at Sallna Cruz is en deavoring to obtain a sufficient num ber of signatures to organize a post in Hint city. ‘Tampico post is the largest post in any country outside of the United States, with a menfbersliip of 302. which represents a gain of fnore than a hundred members during the past year. “Hello, A ir Proposed Greeting for Buddies ‘‘Hello, Al 1“ is the way John Frank lin Miller post of the American Le gion of Michigan City, Ind., wants all Legionnaires to greet each other and to that end will endeavor to have it adopted nationally as the universal greeting of one Legionnaire to anoth er. As regards the fitness of the greeting Miller post points out: “American Legion—A. L. for short spells Al. Hence, ‘Hello, Al T There could also be a distinctive reply given, as onr French friends say—‘Al-lo.’ ” TREASURE STATE FARM SUCCESS •T. C. Swiss, farming north of Richey, Richland county, arrived in 1907 from Faribault, Minn., bringing with him at tiiat time $1.25 in cash assets. For nine years he engaged in well drilling—a business that was pretty brisk on account of the great number of incoming homesteaders,^ each of whom must have a water source in-the. transition that made the country one of home-owning farmers out of au old free range. The remarkable thing about the S'i;iss success is the fact that he began his farm operations in 1916 and at the beginning of what is generally termed “Montana’s hard years.” A careful sur vey of the following eight years, take) in detail, will show the results on the Swiss farm to he the diainertrieal op posite of that most popular and thread- worn myth. Good management, attention to de tails and keeing out of the rut of strict ly small grain farming are some of the tilings given by Mr. Swiss as being at the bottom of whatever success he may have had. Outside of one small tractor, used only for plowing, all of the Swiss operations were conducted with heavy, well-kept horses. Fail plowing and early’seeding, with an eye for good rotation methods, according to Mr. Swiss, will, in not overly rainy years, return pretty good yields of small grains. In the grain department of his fanning, this was his method of attack. That it paid, is attested to by tlie entire banking fraternity of the county. Starting It as a side line, developing tt Into a hobby and getting much fun out of tiie game, Swiss early branched Into tiie cattle end of farming. It was a small beginning, blit how it did grow! During tlie year of the long winter when almost every one else had no feed, tlie Swiss herd got to spring grass with no loss and for that year it was a record. At this time Mr. Swiss 1ms, tax and mortgage free, SOO a ores of tlie best up land soil in Richland county. Tlie lien) is going Into tin1 winter with 80 bead— ami food enough to see them through. Willi no debts, a eonservalive estimate of ihe Swiss aeciilunmtions runs in tlie 'heiclihorimod of $35,000. To a question asked hy a Northern I’aeifie representative iri seareli of farm success in Montana, as to where else he could bettor his condition, Air. Swiss said; \Nowhere.” MONTANA WINS HIGH HONORS AT THE H A V AND GRAIN SHOW By winning 28 per cent of the prize money in the classes entered and tak ing Hie highest honors In the world with oats and barley and the world’s reserve wheat championship with n sample of hard rod winter wheat, Mon tana ngairi won the undisputed place of the world’s greatest grain producing commonwealth, nt tlie 1924 Interna tional liny and Grain Show nt Chicngo. C. Edson Smith of Corvallis won both tlie reserve wheat championship and the world’s barley championship, while L. E. Peterson won the oat championship which had been held by Canada for the past six years.

No man realizes ns promptly that ho is a failure ns he does that he is n success. Iodine Safeguard for Litter Pigs, like human beings, need iodine, according to investigations reported by Dr. II. C. H. Kernknmp of the veteri nary division, Minnesota experiment station, university farm. Particularly does tlie sow need iodine if her off spring are not to show goiter and lack of hair. Dr. Kernkamp says that pigs born of affected sows are often hairless or partly hairless and often show goiter and that weak and, hairless pigs often die withihn a few hours or a few days, Tn rases where sows have been given iodine before the birth of their litters the pigs when born have been normal; whereas pigs from animals kept under the same conditions except for the Iodine In their food have been affected with goiter and have been hairless; Lambs suffer In the same way, show ing goiter THREE MONTANA GIRLS WIN CANNING CONTEST HONORS Alary Given of Plevna, Montana, member of the Valley Canning Club won’third place in the northwest divi sion of tlie national canning contest conducted by the Hazel Atlas Co. of Wheeling, West Virginia, according to an announcement received at the State Club Leader’s Office at Bozeman. Frances Shartz and Anna Weinserott also of Plevna and members of the Valley Canning Club placed eighth and tenth in the contest. This gives the Plevna club the unique distinction of producing all three of Montana s win ners. Airs. George Mellóse is the club leader of the Valley Canning Club. Alary Given was tlie leading club girl in the state last year and placed fourth lu a national canning exhibit in 1923. That November was the banner month for tlie Blaine County Market ing association was made known by W. A. Cesseli, its secretary. The asso ciation during the last month paid the farmers of that county $7,850.47 for the potatoes and hogs sold them dur ing tlie month. The association paid Blaine county fanners an average of about $5,000 a mouth for the products it handled during tlie other 10 months. Mr. Grossed says the association laid stiiplied 32 carloads of hogs tills sea son. This does not include tlie many shipments that have been sent out of Blaine county by private shippers. Tlie hog Industry is one of the new indus tries in Blaine county, being only two years old. .Tack Green, representative of the Hill county creamery, at Havre, sup erintended tlie loading at Malta Dee. (> of 2,500 pounds of turkeys for the Chi cago market. Additional 1 o a d i a g s were made at Dodson, Saco, Hinsdale and Glasgow. Air. Green said lie ex pects to have 24,000 pounds when tlie rnr finally left Glasgow. Turkey rais ers were paid a percentage based on the current market price and are to receive tlie balance of tlie final price which is paid when the shipment readies Chicago. The Great Falls liny n n d Grain Commission company expects to open a branch office In Livingston for the purpose of purchasing bay from tlie :ocal producers for shipment to other points. Tlie ranchers in central Alon- :ana this season put up an exceptional ly large amount of No. 1 hay nnd doubtless tills winter will see many ;a Hoads shipped from points In this ricinit.v to western Montana nnd states west of here where tlie hay crop has been a very short one. The winter poultry house should he large enough to allow three to four square feet of floor space to cadi bird. Tlie small breeds requiring less space. Special attention should he given 1o ventilation. Colds and roup are caused as frequently by “not enough air as by too mueh air.\ Without proper venti lation tlie air becomes laden with mois ture and an unhealthy condition is created. Birds should he free from direct draft hut there must lie pro visions for renewing the air. The first annual Achievement day celebration ever field in Rosebud coun ty took place Dec. 6 nt Forsyth. County Agent Ralph D. Mercer nnd Miss Jessie Adee, home demonstration agent, enierialned more than 100 dui) boys nnd girls who laid finished tiie year’s work and their parents at noon luncheon in the bnsement of the Pres byterian church, after which the after noon was spent in playing games at the high school auditorium. The question of an agricultural agent for Carbon county was the chief topic of discussion at the monthly meeting of the Farmers’ Educational and Co-operative union at Silesia. A committee composed of R. W. Dunn of Silesia, L. DeVries of Roberts and Mr. Turner of Bridger was appointed to in vestigate the probable expense and the possibilities for such an officer in tiie county, and to report at next meeting. NEW COUNTY AGENT TO TAKE UP WORK IN CUSTER COUNTY Hall and Robinson are feeding out a number of lanihs on their place near Malta on sugar beets that were plowed out too late to ship to the factory at Billings. Those in charge of the feed ing say the sheep are doing exception ally well and that the beets are prov ing to be almost the equal of corn in food value. After making a survey of the 3924 output. J. S. Bock, general agent of the Great Northern railway at Great Falls, stated that turkey shipments this year will show a 100 per cent increase over those, of 1923. The figures luclude the Butte division of the system. Piiul Al. Lewis of Sundance will bo the now County Agent fo r Custer County after, the first of tlie year. Mr. Lewis takes tlie place of C. Al. \rerring- ton who is leaving to take up other work on the coast. The new agent comes to Alontana after having served us county agent for two years 4n Wyoming and one and a half years in Idillio. Ile was horn and raised on a farm and lias .had’much experience un der emulilions similiar to those found in Custer county. Air. Yorrington 1ms been in Custer County for the past seven years and (luring that time lias devoted special attention to tlie production and mar keting of alfalfa seed, the organization of livestock shipping associations, corn production, the development of the State Corn show, and boys and girls club work. Thirty-one thousand dollars was paid to farmers of Pondera county nt Conrad Dec. 5 and 6 for approximately 110,000 pounds of dressed turkeys. Tlie purchase, which was made by tho Northern Creamery company of Great Falls lliorugh the Pondera ‘Turkey Marketing association, comprised vir tually four carloads of poultry for Christmas tallies in tlie east. Farmers nettl'd 31 cents for No. I birds, 22 cents for No. 2 birds and 28 rents for old toms. ‘Tills, according to officers of the associatimi, Is beter than indi vidual shippers could have done on tlie Chicago market. Two carloads of turkeys loaded in tlie llarlowton section will lie sent by the Wheatland County Co-operative Marketing association to Miles Olty, where they have been sold to the Wes tern Creamery company of that city, Tlie turkeys will be graded, weighed and paid for as soon as delivery is re ceived. No. 1 young toms and liens have sold for “ 1 cents a pound ; old hens at 28 cents; old toms at 24 cents and No. 2’s at 20 cents a pound. These prices an* as good or even better than the present Chicago prices. According to 11. F. DePuc, Richinnd county’s agricultural agent, Richland county never was bettor prepared to go Into a crop season than It will he for the year 1925. With 20,000 acres of summer-fallowed land combined with the 60,000 acres this year put in corn, the county has n \jump on the gun,” according to Mr. DePue. lie fur ther cites the fact that on account of the open full, with plenty of moisture, practically all of the fall-plowing was completed. George Smith, one of the successful ranchers of the country north of Alnlta lias shipped two cars of hogs to the Spokane market. Not all of the two cars were raised by Air. Smith. He had over a carload and purchased enough more to fill out the two ears. Recently lie sold a carload of Aber deen Angue cattle on tlie St. Paul market as yearlings and topped tlie market for the day and received as miieli per head ns some two year olds were sold on same day. Tlie man with the lend pencil says there is a distinct shortage in tlie tur key crop. Prices have not been as high as they should, however, because there is still a stock of frozen turkeys left over in the storage houses. S o m e people find it easy to raise turkeys nnd while tlie birds will always lie expen sive to the consumer there probably will never be a turkey famine.—Farm Life. The best prices o f the year will be. received by turkey raisers o f Gallatin county Tor the carload of dressed fowl which will be sent east soon for the holiday trade ln Chicago. Nb. 1 tur keys will bring 32 cents, old toms 27 cents, and No. 2’s 23 cents. With each gander you can mnte one to four female geese, depending some what upon their age. Young ganders will often take up with only one goose, but older ganders will usually mate with three or four geese. An excellent plan is to provide ganders for your en tire flock at the rate of one to four, and then put in a couple of extra gan ders to make sure all of the geese will be properly served.—Farm Life. Here's a simple method to estimate the weight of your haystack-. Subtract the width of the stack from the dis tance over the top from side to side, and divide hy two to get the average height. Multiply length, width and average height, nnd divide by 512 for newly built stacks—up to 60 days—or by 422, for older stacks, to get the number of tons. Ed Nelson of Upper Four Mile near Fairvlew has departed for St. Paul where he expects to purchase two cars of cattle to ship back to Montana and feed at his farm. Nelson is of the opinion that feeders can be bought cheaper In the South St. Paul market than on the range in Alontapa. F. C. Welch and Harry De Rnsha left Alelstone for Seattle a few days ago with two cars of fat hogs. Other shippers were E. W.‘ Scbroeder, Joseph Joyce and Elmer Collier. s Success Is the dream of the . many and the accomplishment of the few. *r‘ -JT*'?*
