TituRsDAY, Auu. 15, 1912 ON STAKING GRAIN One of the most repeated arguments put forth by patties in favor of farmers' elevators is that the line elevators in .the stn,aller towns grade the wheat down to the lowest possible standard when buying from the small grower. This undoubtedly is true in many cases. However, in just as many instances probably the farmer has been careless in failing to protect the crop after it is cut and before the threshing has been done, thus allowing the wheat to be- come discolored and damaged. The Montana Central Elev. Co., who are building an elevator at Geyser this fall, call attention ro this matter in their advertising, asking the farmers to do thier share toward making the grading of . the grain as high as possible. Their advice is as follows: \If the Judith Basin is to take the place it rightfully deserves as a wheat growing country, the farmers must ap- preciate the importance of preserving the high quality of the wheat grown. \Last year, after raising a crop of splendid wheat, the grade was vrious- ly damaged by rain after the crop was in the shock. Nearly all of this dam- age could have been avoided if the grain had been stacked. Why not stack your crop this year. The ex- pense of threshing from the stack is no more than that of threshing from the shock and you will make money on the quality of your grain and suffer less dockage and shrinkage on stacked wheat than on wheat threshed from the shock. This is especially true if we get a wet fall. \It will be necessary to grade wheat more carefully in the future than in the past, and the difference in the quality is going to be an increasingly import- ant item to the farmer.\ Live Stock Sale at the State Fair Successful Feature of Last Year's Fair Meets with Hearty Ap- proval of Breeders The auction of pure bred live stock, which was inaugurated as one of the features of the livestock department of the Montana State Fair last year, met with the hearty approval of the breed- - ers of the state who are interested in that line of industry. The beneficial results of the auction sale in increasing the namber of breeders of thorough- bred stock is noticeable this year. the Fair management believes, in the pros- pects for increased entries in that de- partment of the exposition. Needless to say, the auction sale will be one of the features of the fair again this year. Last year the sale was held on three different mornings of fair week. This year that will be changed and the sale will occur only on Friday morning. Cattle, horses, sheep and swine will receive the attention of the auctioneer. Colonel George P. Bellows of Kansas City, who has a national reputation as an auctioneer of pure bred stock, and - .who presided at the block last year, will do the spieling again this year. Harry L. Summers of Bozeman is the superintendent of the auction sale, and exhibitors who have stock to ()ler should notify him before Septem- ber 1st and send him pedigrees so that sales lists may be made up. Aside from increasing the number of exhibits in the livestock department, the auction sale tends to draw a large number of men who are interested in raising thoroughbreds and who come as pro- spective purchasers. The auction sale seems to fill a long . felt want of breeders in Montana which market sales have failed to do, and if is believed that it will be conducive to higher breeding in all branches of the livestock industry in this state.

Dines as secretary to President Taft, was formerly a coal miner and got his first start in life as a wielder of the pick. Since that long ago day, however, he steadily moved upward and for many years has been a prominent figure Iii onto politics. A native of West Virginia and forty- two years old, Mr. Thompson has spent most of his life at Ironton, 0. By working in the mines he earned enough money to get is high school ed- ucation and then took an aeademle course in the Ohio Slate university. Two years of teaching and more sav- ing enabled him to lake a law course at the same institution. In 1595 he was admitted to the liar, and he began practice at Ironton. After a term as city solicitor he went to the legislature and was speaker of the house in 1906-7. Then he was eieeted secre- tary of state and re-elected two years later. At the close of his second term h e was a ppoin t e d assistant secretary of the interior at Washington, from which post he resigned to take the place made vacant by the selection of Mr. Hines to manage President Taft's campaign. Judge Dillon of Ohio. Judge Edmund B. Dillon of Colum- bus. who was nominated for governor by the Ohio Reptiblicans , and subse- quentiv withdrew from the ticket, took that unusual step because of the de- termination of the Roosevelt party to put up a third ticket in the state. The nomination of Judge Dillon Was made against his own wish. When the delegates were gathered for the state convention he steadfastly re- fused to allow his name to be used In connection with the goventorship. wanting only the nomination for Judge of the supreme court. After several ballots had been taken a stampede was started for Judge Dillon, and he was on the fifth ballot nominated. Judge Dillon thought when he was nominated that his seletition marked the end of the new party movement EDMUND H. DILLON. In the state, and lo a brief speech to the convention noi opting the noniltm- (ion he said, \I NX git e to the party and the people of the state the best that is in inc.''

Me., -tuy father told me of a very curious inci- dent of pioneer life. Ills parents were the first settlers in the town .:hip, and bears, deer and all sorts of wild game were plentiful.

Bet one very still evening the children heard a dog barking over in the next town- ship, and they ran to their mother just about seared to death at the ery of an animal they had never beard before. The growl of the bear and this wailing yell of the catnumunt they were used to. but the bow -wow of in dog was something strange and terrifying.\ Is to soperamirai Shrine:1 calks' -'Imixt ; whirls the fox is eti- ietitetti a.; a are nund, itt Le of tin. de.
