Parrish, Editor and Publisher Entered as second-class matter March 25, 1911, at the postoftice at Geyser, Montana, under the act of March 3, 1879. T11111011Alr', Joys. 13, 1912 3in fkautiful 'Nonfarm Of beautiful Montana, Today my theme shall be, To sound her praises far and near, Both over land and sea. And when these verses have been read, If, then, the reader will, Just speed the story on its way, A mission to fulfill. In beautiful Montana There's room for all who come And on the broad green acres here Build for themselves a home. Then don't stay where you'll crowded be, But come where wealth is Sure, To perfect climate, health and life, To air and water pure. In beautiful Montana, The skies are deepest blue, And in the woods and meadows wide Are flowers of every hue. The clear streams ripple swiftly on, The birds sing free and gay, The glories of the sunset, grand, Adorn the closing day. In beautiful Montana The scenery is sublime; Its grandeur cannot be surpassed In any foreign clime. The mighty rivers, crystal lakes. The mountains' towering height, The sunlit vales and purpled hills Are pictures of delight. In beautiful Montana, Our sheep by millions feed, And \cattle on a thousand hills\ • Supply the rancher's need. And yet, Montana's pride is in Her fields of golden grain. Where but a few short years ago 'Twits deemed but sterile plain. in beautiful 1\lontana, The soil is simply great; For here was raised the finest wheat E'er raised in any state! The famous Judith Basin, fair, This grain of wonder grew. Which won the thousand dollar cup From all the country through. In beautiful Montana Oats give enormous yields. And wonderful alfalfa's bloom Is seen in many fields. Our barley also leads the world! And all these three have won First prizes at the great land shows And yield their place to none! In beautiful Montana, Potatoes do surprise The stranger here, both as to taste And their tremendous size! All vegetables and fruits do well, And 'tis a joy to know, That when the planting once is done. The things are sure to grow. In beautiful Montana Are mountains, grand and high, The sturdy pine trees on their slopes Reach upward to the sky ; And hidden'mong their rocky - depths Are mines of wealth untold— Coal, silver, copper, sapphires lead, And tons of gleaming gold! In beautiful Montana, The warm chinook winds blow When winter's snow conies on apace And melt the deepest snow. Our grass is of the finest kind, And cures upon the ground; So, whether one has hay or not. There's feed, the whole year round. In beautiful Montana, Our schools are of the best; Our churches are a pleasant place To spend the day of rest. Our 'people are free -hearted, too, Their doors wide open stand With the true hospitality That marks our western land. In beautiful Montana, The moon shines clear and bright; Her silv'ty ras flood hill and vale With sparkling, radiant light. The soft wind ever lingers near Those scenes of beauty rare. And, our dear State, there is for thee. A future just as fair! —M. E. Bain. Knerville, N.loot. Notice—Brands By an act of the 1911 legislature all owners of brands are required to re- record their 'brands by November 1, I 19I2 Any failure of owners to re-' record will be considered an abandon- ment of the brand and it will be open for record for anyone applying. The fee for re-recording is 25 cents per brand. D. W. RAYMOND. Recorder of Marks and Brands, • 5-9-6 Helena, Mont, Some lady reader of the Times is going to receive a fine $400 piano free. Will it be you? Read the announce- ment an the opposite page. If not you help a friend to get it. /. This Beautiful Free! , Artistic, 25 -Year Free! Guaranteed Piano To Be Given Away Absolutely Free as First Prize , 36 piece Silver Set as 2nd Prize 15 piece Silver Set as 3rd Prize Ladies' Jewel Case as 4th Price - Other prizes are to be given away. Any lady, married or single, in this or adjoining counties, is eli- gible to enter the contest. / If you have ever wished to own a beautiful $400 piano or one of the other valuable prizes absolutely free, now is your chance. Nominate your- self by use of one of the blanks below. If impossible for you to enter the contest, nominate one of your friends. We want all the nominations we can get so that the necessary amount of interest and enthusiasm in this peat contest will be shown. Someone is bound to win the beautiful - artistic $400 piano or some other prizes. You can win it with only 'a small part of your spare moments as well as anyone else, and in addition , have the knowledge and pleasure of knowing that you have entered a friendly contest and made a successful conclusion. Make your time worth A400 for the corning few weeks and we will guarantee to give you all the assist- ance possible and aid you in any way that we can. The question on all sides is, HOW CAN WE DO I1'? The answer is exceedingly simple. A newspaper's circulation and subscription list is its life. Without a complete circulation and subscrip- tion list, there can be no successfid newspaper for the simple reason that the advertising would not be beneficial to the advertiser, hence we would receive very little money on our advertising contracts, because we did not reach the homes of the people who are interestsd in the upbuilding of this great state and who are spending their dollars with our merchants and business men for the goods which they are advertising and offering for sale through the columns of this paper. Every business man is interested in making this a bigger and better state. They are also interested in the practical development of every foot of farming country, for the simple reason that as every section of the country develops its natural wealth, that section of the country becomes safer anti bigger and better from a business standpoint for every man. woman and child who resides therein. AVe do not expect to make a dollar on this contest this year and perhaps the next, bin the benefits derived by its and the inhabitants by our increased circula- tion will be untold and we will be years ahead in subscriptions and we will give more and better news and carry better advertising in our colutnns than heretofore. Join this campaign for a better and bigger newspaper and a more stivcessful state than anywhere else. Nomination Blank—Good for 5000 Help your friends win the Beautiful piano.

No Change In Plans Milwankee Line Will Enter Great Falls on North Side. of City as Originally Announced The Nhilwatikee railroad station the company's freight houses and terminals for Great will be in Riverside Park 4s originally planned, says Sun- day's Tribune. The road will enter the city, too, along the right-of-way formerly announced, coming just to the - south side of Black Eagle Park and to the north side of the Royal mills, thence westerly along Gibson Park and into the site for the station to the west of the Great Northern's track and in Riverside Park north of First avenue north. 'l 'he fact was made emphatic yester- day by C. A. Goodnow. assistant presi- dent of the Milwaukee road, who is in the city looking after the final de- tails connected with starting construe-; tion work on the line for which the contract has been let and which will mean a 138 -mile extension of the coin- ! pany's system from Lewistown into this city. Mr. Goodnow says the company has not yet decided on the location of its townsites between here and Lewis- town, but has most of them tentatively in mind, and some of them have been definitely selected.

If a large crop is to be reaped in 1911, a large amount of land should be devoted to fallow.
