(Continued on page 4) Good Crop of Flax Among the lucky ones to get their threshing done this week was Jos. Liberty, the land man. NI r. Libert:. had 152 acres of flax from which he received 1,498 bushels. according to ' machine measure. This is more than , was expected by those who know the ' conditions under which the crop was , grown and harvested. To begin with it was sown the 8th of June, which is consideted too late by most farmers. The rainy fall hindered the work ot cutting and stacking. Mr.. Liberty contracted to buy this quarter section last spring to demonstrate to prospec- tive buyers that the first crop of flax from the land around here would amount to enough to pa; the first in- stallment of the purchase price asked and pay all expenses connected with putting in and harvesting the crop. It has done this in Mr. Liberty's case, as he will receive enough for his 1.498 bushels of flax to enable him to pay one-fourth down on his land, besides fencing; breaking, seeding and all the necessary expense for labor connected with seeding and harvesting the crop. Creditable Christmas Edition An - o ig the many excellent Christ - editions coining to our exchange table, we note the Fergus County' Democrat of December 12 as possessing more than ordinary.' merit. The paper con- tained 24 pages, filled with excellent special artieles on live topics of interest to Lewistown and the Judith Basin. The issue was printed on enameled paper, and carried many tine views of Lewistown and Fergus county scenes. 1 The business men of that hustling lit- tle city showed their appreciation of Editor Stout's efforts by taking liberal quantities of space for their advertising, the typographical excellence of which reflects much credit on the mechanical force employed by the Democrat. Notice, Modern Woodmen! A regular meeting and irt election of officers of rcey- ser Camp No. 10887. NI. will be held Satur- day, Dec. 30th. at Geyser Hall. All members earnestly requested to attend.

The only other case we have heard of is Mrs. Ethe! Pontet, who is reported quite ill, but as all school children and young pec pie of the neighborhood have been meeting to practice for an enter- tainment it is feared that others may come down later as almost everyone has been exposed. Those who have been successfully vaccinated are fortu- nate. Good Crop on the Shonkin H. A. Nottingham. a Shonkin stock- man, has recently finished threshing grain, and reports oats limning at 108 bushels and wheat 50 bushels to the acre, on 40 acre tracts, says the Fort Benton correspondent of the Great Falls Tribune. This is not a dry farming proposition, being up in the Highwood mountains. but the farming pro.laganda is probably responsible for getting Mr. Nottingham into .he idea of farming. With such good returns' NIT. Nottingham and other old-timt ' stockmen will probably take notice that farming pays. Notice to Stockholders The annual meeting of,the.stock-. holders of the First State Bank of Geyser. Montana, will be held in the bai king rooms of said bank between the hours of I p. m.. and 4 p. m., on the 1st day of January, 1912, for the purpose of electing a board of di- rectors for the ensuing year, and . for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before said meeting.
