The government is going after the butter trust which is alleged 'to be in kahoots to raise the price of butter for the benefit of the large concerns. The price of butter has been so high for so long that we have forgotten how it tastes, but . we are authority on good lard and ole. While we are celebrating our Xmas festivties it is interesting to give a thought of how we came to have such customs. Not everyone knows, for instance, our Santa Claus came from Holland, our Christmas stockings from Belgium and France, and MU Christmas trees from Germany. while the universal greeting - Merry Christ- mas!\ was shouted one to another by. the English many years ago. Saving is a habit and it must be ad- mitted•that some get the habit hitched onto them too strong, just as some have th4skirbit of spending every cent they make \ soon after they make it, or perhaps a little before. When saving becomes such a habit with people that they will deny themselves even the simplest things Itecaose of the cost, of what value is that person's life? Is the satisfaction of property accumulation worth , the cost of food necessary to sustain life? Practical men a2ree that goortseed is a most important factor in sticness- ful cropping. .1 itiltoil;ies pace the increase in (-nips due to the use ot good seed over the general average_at. twenty -Us e per cent or more.

P. Nash and Chas. Bridgeman of Clyde Park. They produced 3,035 bushels of grain on 52 acres. During the year 1911 the best wheat in the great Northwest was produced by James Todd. who resides on a cosy ranch five miles north of Geyser, and was awarded a 51,000 trophy offered by J. J. H and is now on exhibition at rhy hank. This year. so far as we know. no one has op any effort to the prize. !nit we hive heard of ye1ds ciiiialed the prize winning wheza.

Chatterton, manager of the Cooper—Hughes ranch returned from his Chicago trip Wednesday evening. While in Chicago. Mr. Chatterton visited the International Live Stock Show and saw the blue ribbon placed ori a steer raised just across the line from us in Canada and raised and fat- tened on oats and barley. Consider- abe significance is attached to this win- ninq, when it is realized that the steer won against cattle exhibited from all parts of the world, and cattle raised in the Corn belt. It is really a big vic- tory for the Northwestern cattle grow- ers. We forgot to mention in our last weeks items that 0. J. Maguire re- cently of Colorado has been engaged to teach the Keeton school and com- menced his term Monday the 9. Mr. Maguire comes highly recommended as a teacher of more than usual ability.

About midnight, I'. B. McAllister with Tom Harney as clerk started the sale of the baskets which brought the neat sum of $56. Quite a number from Geyser attended and by their generosity and kindly spirit helped the affair both financially and socially to a consider- able extent.. Spion Kop is strong on the activity these days with considerable lumber going out on the different ranches, a healthy trade is on in groceries, pro- visions and coal and it is no uncom- mon sight to see teams, very often from long distances waiting horn morning to late at night to be shod by our very able horse shoer. Lewis Anderson, Jack Logan and Herman Koski are transacting business in Great Falls and Belt between trains today. Jai. H. Frye is spending a few days at the ranch and visiting friends. Local.

Harney & Adams have added some neat cabinet shelving in their hardware I store in which they will keep their finer, shelf hardware. Lester Winner an I a car load of his goods arrived the first of the week and he will occupy a sheep ranch about six miles from town, which he purchased last August. This is ideal weather for this time of year and every ,body seems to be enjoying it. Mornings and evenings are crisp but as soon as the sun is up a little it warms up so that with a small fire inside the door may be opened and one is comfortable. A Montana prize steer was recently sold at the Live stock show at Lewis- town. Idaho, for $1,33/1.75. The animal weighed 1275 pounds and brought $1.05 per pound. He was of pure bred Herford and was 14 months old and was raised, by the Jones Land and Cattle company. Considerable wheat is being mar- keted at this point, notwithstanding the low price the market is just now offering. If obligations are not press- ing too hard the farmer should not market a bushel while the price is down, but wait until these who make the market price get thru gambling with the farmers property and the price will surely go up and the wheat raiser will get what belongs to him. An investigation by the Great Northern officials is to the cause of trains 43 and 44 coming together was held in the Falls last week and their findings have not been made public. Agent Wilson of Belt, was present but he has nothing to say more than he is not responsible for the wreck. He is a much liked man by the Belt people, and they all hope that the investigation %% ill leave him with a clear record. At present he is suspended from duty. THE TIMES IS A Visitor to nearly every home in Geyser and nearly every farmer re- siding in the trading district. That's why it is a good advertising medium. And a word to those who do not subscribe for the TI NI ES. Do you know the money you would save on your purchases by buying according to the display advertisements in this paper. It pays you to subscribe for the TIMES if for no other reason than to take advantage of the Bargains and Opportunities offered by Geyser businessmen. The 'limes, Geyser. At the recenfLand Show in Minne- apolis. Professor Crane gave out some valuable information regarding the burning of wheat straw stacks and con- densed the habit, he says: \Straw burn- ing must cease, by all means. Wheat straw and with is worth % a •orth wi $2.1 0 fields n $2.15 per toil a ad e s l a f c l ea n through the introduction of a a cultivated crop, we will then he able to scatter a clean straw over those Ileitis after seeding time, thus adding to their humus content, and retaining to a large degree, the element of potash.\ It is the wish of every patriotic par- ent that his child shall stand in the front ranks of the business world. To get these results the teacher, the parent and the child must work together. Own mutiny with the school means hindrance to the child to attain this high standing. There should be close unity. If your child, is not doing well in school it is your duty to see the teacher and help her to devise plans that will remedy the evil. Don't pour oat your wrath against the teacher at the supper table in the presence of the children. It only means that your children will reap what you sow for the n. They will have no confidence in the teacher, cause trouble in the school and lose interest in learning. Mrs. John Sanders was a Belt visitor lait Monday. There are four more shopping days before Christmas. For Sale—A good second hand 20 h. p. engine been used one year, in good condition.—Inquire of . elevatcr man. Fred Morgan and Geo.

The young swan which were hatched last summer in Gibson park at the Falls, met with an accident last Thursday. Some animal, persumably a stray dog, got into their pen and mangled one so it had to be killed, and broke anothers wing but it is thot it can, be saved as it has been placed in the hands of a physician. Everybody is interested in the swan family for it is the first known to have been hatched while in captivity.
