Greatest Interest Is Exhibited by Visitors in High -Priced Machines, Although, of the Tractors, the Cheap Auto -Pull Furnishes Sensa- tion of the Webk. With farmers and auto fans pres- ent from every section of the state, with even large delegations of In- dians on hand, from the Crow, Black - feet and other distant reeervations, the Montana automobile show held at Great Falls last week under the auspices of the Montana Distributors' association was in every respect the state affair that its name implies. There were nearly 60 cars on the floor on the second story of the big municipal market building in which the show was held and downstairs were a dozen or so booths 'occupied by dealers in accessories. There was one exhibit -on the lower floor that seemed to break the rule that this part of the building should be de- voted to exhibits of accessories. This was a display of overalls by a Detroit concern that is about to begin op- erations in a new branch factory at Livingston, Mont. The exhibit was admitted at the solicitation of the Livingston Chamber of Commerce. Show Opened by Parade. The show was opened after a rep- resentatiVe automobile parade had Wound its way through the principal streets of the city despite a drIzzlimg *mew storm and ,a precipitate drop in the thermometer. For the first two or three days the coid weather tend- ed to discourage attendance until it was finally noised abroad that the big market building was well heated afternoon and evening. Thereafter those who had not previously seen the show did their best to make up for lost time. The best attendance of the week was on Farmers' day, which happened also to be a holiday Sr aroul ail Iamb* Sloan's Liniment Perwtrittes without rubbing APPENDICITIS jf you have heat threatened or have DALLSTONM, INDRAIITION, GAS or paina in the ti -ht r FREE side. write for valuable book of informat on.

Op the evening of that day there was no ses- sion of either of the farmers' con- ventions that met in Great Falls dur- ini the week as the Co-operators' congress had come to a close that afternoon and the regular Equity convention was not scneduled to be- gin its sessions until the following morning. Many Farmers Buy Machines. The day prior to Farmers' day was \society day,\ but the attend- ance on Farmers' day was made - up of men and women who appeared to be fully as prosperous as those who had attended by special invitation the day before. In fact, a considerable number of visiting farmers pur- chased automobiles during the week. The farmers revealed more interest in the show than any other class of visitors and many of them returned to the show on Dealers' day. the day following Farmers' day, for a more critical inspection or the cars on ex- hibit. This is regarded by the auto- mobile men as an augury of an un- exampled expansiot. of the automo- bile business in this state this year. The coincidence of the sessions of the Co-operators' congress and the convention oT the Montata Union of the American Society of Equity, which hundreds of farmers attended as delegates or visitors, with the holding of the automobile show, in- duced the distributors to exert themselves to the utmost in the dis- play of cars to attract attention of these prosperous tillers of the soil. • Tractors and Trucks Barred. It turned out that the auditorium where the show waa held, although it was one of the 'largest in north- ern Montana, was only a third large enough for a full display of honest - to -goodness automobiles for Hale in the state, to say nothing of tractors and trucks, which were barred out altogether. Although tliptractors never got inside the shot• building. they v. -ere constantly in evidence during OA_ week. Many of the tractor agents drove their machines about town across the paths of the visiting farm- ers, while other dealers kept their tractots out in the street In front of their saleerooms for a good part of the time. This was the more easily done as most of the tractor - agen9ies are located on the south side of the city, where the traffic is not so eas- ily impeded as it is in the main busineSs section. In fact, so close- ly have the tractor dealers drawn to- gether on one or two streets that an area two or three blocks in extent Juts 'become known as \tractor town.\ Auto -Pull Furniehes Sensation. The sensation of the tractor line was furnished by the Auto -Pull of CI A. Ilunt & devite that' enables a farmer to transform his Ford into a tractor in a few mo- ments' time and to revert to a road- ster as quickly when he desires to igo Joy riding., \Mr. Il'unt had adver- tised extensively in publications that • BUTTE CABARET ELECTION ISSUE MUNICIPAL CANDIDATES ARE LINING UP FOR AND IN OPPOSITION. • Miners Against the Cabaret, Women Who Frequent Them Are for Them, and Both Parties Have Votes; Good Government Club Would Have Women Deputies at Halls. The Good Government club of Butte is after the county commis- sioners to name women deputy sher- iffs to supervise dancing. I3utte is full of cabarets. Nightly crowds gather at these places to one step and bunny hug and hesitate. The Good Government club imitate too many girls of tender years fre- quent these places, ana women depu- ty sheriffs would see that very young girls are kept away. One sees much of the drama of life in these cabarets. The other night, as the midnight hoar apprached, a burley miner, in his digging clothes with his dinner bucket in his band, went into the largest places. It after- wards transpired that he had gone to his home, and, not fniding his wife, started out to hunt for her. She . are read by the farmers asking the delegates to \look for the Ford car painted white\_if they desired to meet the man \who makes farming a joy ride,\ and everywhere his little ear went it attracted a throng of the Equity folk who were eager to in- spect thip later simplification of the farmer's labors. The Auto-Pull'e rival in low price, the Challenge -light farm tractor, failed. to arrive from the factory, in time for the -- exhibition during the show week. A. P. Heaney, who him the state agency for thie tractor, and W. - R. Sutherlatid, the northern Mon- tana distributor, received many in- quiries during the Week for their machine, and they proinieed to give a' demonstration of hovt it operatee as soon as the first shipment is re- ceived from Minneapolia The Studebaker company made it'n imposing display of highclass care in the corner of the buildnig where they had received an allottment of space.

Unheeding the little waiters who at- tempted to \show' him out of the place he strode about, looking into the faces of those who sat about the tables. There was an expression in his eyes which forbade interference. Finally he found her. She was seated at a table with two other young women and three men. The miner started In to clean up the ta- ble. One after another in quick suc- cession he knocked the men down as they rose. He had them all on the floor at once, and was leading his young wife out of tne place by the ear, when the police reserves arrived and assisted in the process. The cabaret evil le getting to be a serious question in Butte. The mu- nicipal campaign is just about on, and the cabaret is an issue. Mayor Lane, who 111 a candidate for re-elec- tion„ is for their regulation. Walter Shea, mayoralty aspirant, would have police matrons at every cabaret and dancing hall. William Maloney, with an idea of catcning the vote of the young women wno dance, is for the cabaret, and helps his candidacy by appearing nightly at ono of them and dances his approval of :hem as an institution. Young Miners Oppose. Many of the younger miners, espe- cially those who work on the night shifts, are very much opposed to them. They contend that while they are away at their work, delving in the bowels of the earth, their help- mates are apt to be at some cabaret, holding high revel. As there are thousands of women who attend the cabarets nightly, and every one of them has a vote, the re- sult of' the forthcoming election will be watched by the rest of the state with a great deal of interest. In the meantime the Good Govqrn- ment club has gone to the board of county commissioners of Slitter Dow county for the . egulation of theThab- aret. They would have a woman deputy stationed at every hall. She will be emblazoned with the badge of office.

Thinks NOW Law Will Have Effect of Retarding Agricultural Develop- ment From Which the State Is - Just Beginning to Benefit; Sug- gests Vigorous Prote.st. According to C. L. Worth of Dil- lon, known as \the man who made good\ in dry -land farming to such an extent that he amassed a modest fortune in a relatively short space of time, the 640 -acre homestead enact- ment will stunt the state's growth and agricultural development will re- ceive a blow. Mr. Worth said: \Latest reports from the interior departmeat.Rcetu,le . Farry, „e* - the idea advanced by many citizens of Montana, and other semi -arid states, that the stockmen's 640-aere home- stead law will stunt agricultural de- velopment to a great extent. if, not cripple ,it altogether. Blocks the Homesteader. • \The law just passed gives the eli- gible homesteader the right to file his intention on 640 acres of the pub- lic domain regardless of the classifi- cation of the land, with prior right over any one electing to file on ihe Same land under the 160 or 320 -acre homestead acts for agricultural pur- poses, and his entry holds good un- til such time as the land is designat- ed by the interior department. Re- ports from the land offices in vari- ous parts of the country indicate to many that all of the farming land in 'Montana that was open to entry, has been grabbed under the 'stockmen's' 640 -acre aet, and now this entry holds good over any entry which may be made under former ' homestead acts until Ruch a time as the land so held is designated and classified. No one seems able to state the date or time of this designation or classi- fication by the interior department. It le probable that the citizens of A lgeptane anref othec. western states who fayor thb agricultural develop- fitent of the land will emit such a hcilvl of preterit' that the secretary of the interior department will hold up the desigeation of the 'stockmen's' 640-ecre homestead land until the department has ample time to thor- oughly investigate conditions—who is taking up this land, and whom is it for. Fine for Bpeculators. \It SCCIII8 the general concensus of •opinion that the land to a great ex- tent is being comae(' by the specu- lator and is not passing into the hands of the home-builders..or future husbandmen of the state. One would naturally think that when the facts are known the citizens of Montana through its commercial bodies would protest to such an extent that -the in - (prior department would institute an investigation and recommend the re- peal of the 'stockmen's' 640 -acre act. and leave the public domain open for filing under the 160 and 320 -acre laws. With this accon3plished the land would be secured by the home - builders, farmers and husbandmen of whom Montana and othet western states are in need. Stunts Development. . \To me it seeme very unfortunate that the agricultural devolopment of the Treasure state ha., been stunted and the breaking up of our virgin soil for the grov:th of wheat and oth- er grains retarded. During the past At - years there has been a wonder- 6 ful advancement in the agricultural development in our state, and what the next few years would bring in the way of increased yields passes all human understanding.• \Go and_look at the table lands of Montana today! You will find great fields of grain and prosperous homes. New towns have sprung up in a day, and become prosperous.. Prosperity reigns on every hand in the Treasure state.
