Billings, June 23. -That Brasil is taking a keen interest in the work of the Dry Farming Con- gress and will be represented both with exhibits and delegates at the fourth session at Billings, October 26-28, is shown by the following letter from Dr. Laurence Baetmi- Neves to Governor Norris, presi- dent of the congress, accepting appointment as corresponding sec- retary of the Dry Farming Con - grew \It was with great pleasure . that I received your official an- nouncement of my appointment as corresponding secretary of the Dry Farming Congress, my title in connection with this Organiza- tion now being 'Foreign Vice President and Corresponding Sec- retary of the Dry Farm t ing Con- gress.' This courtesy, in addition to that of being chosen vice pres- ident of the organization, is to me an additional proof of the friendly interest of the United States in Brazil and I accept the office with the same spirit in which it is tendered and shall try as much as possible to do my duty in this capacity. While awaiting official action by the Brazilian -govern- ment. I shall not neglect my work for the success of the next and future congresses. \Having been appointed by the board of organization of the Fourth International Latin Medi cal Congress to make a report con- cerning the nmeans of reclaiming the arid lands of Brastt and thus rendering more tit to sustain life a region subject to drouth, I have emphasized the work of the Dry Farming Congress in my re- port, soon to be sent out to the Brazilian congress mentioned above, which . meets in Rio de Jn- nerio under the auspeciea of the Brazilian government. \According to the wish of Mr. John T. Burns, I have suggested that a branch of the Dry Farming Congress be established in Brazil at the expense of the government, by which all discussions in Ameri- ca (United States) may be trans- lated into Portuguese and likewise, all discussions of interest in Brazil will be translated into English, that the two republics may reeeive mutual benefit. I shall talk with Secretary Burns concerning this matter Before I leave the United States, \In a few days I shall send my government, in behalf of the con- gress, an invitation to send del- egates, exhibits and so on, as suggested by yourself. \Please accept my thanks for the honor you have given me in my appointment as official of an organization which knows no sectional or national lines, but whose one aim is to bring pros- perity and blessing to the whole world. Yours very truly, L. BAETA-NEVES.\ Dr. Baeta-Neves is an eminent civil and mining engineer whose eminence in scientific research has won for hinm the signal distinction of appointment as chief engineer of the technical department of public works and industries . in Brazil. Ile was a delegate to the third Dry Farming Congress at Cheyenne and at that time was elected vice-president of this or- ganization, representing the Bra- zilian republic. Spend the Fourth in Whitehall. Going West. During March and April of this year 771,000 persons went west on the Harriman and Hill lines to go at farming in Idaho, Colorado, Wyoming, California and Mon- tana. The next census will show a marked increase in the number of farms and of acres of improved land in those states which will be gratifying to local pride. But the growth in the number of farms is not confined to the far west. It is even more 'narked in the south, where the large plantations are being steadliy broken tip into small holdings. There were 5,- 737,000 farms in the United States in 1900 and the cencus returns for 1910 should show about a million more. Of the men who are making new homes for themselves in the west and northwest a considerable number are farmers from the middle west. They are going from a region where land is dear to a region where it is conmpant- tively cheap. Cheap land is the magnet which is drawing Iowans and Illinoisans to the American and the Canadian northwest. It will be responsible for sometime for a shifting of many farmers from one part of the country to another. It would be more pleasing to chronicle n rapid increase in the n amber of farmers thru a move- ment from the cities to the firma. The great cities are overcrowded and the rural dish -lots are under- populated. Even with all the help that machinery can give the farm- ers suffer yearly because of a great esareity skiletsiterrilrf - la- bor. If there were more of it at theie command they would con- vert into improved land millions of acres of what is now classified as \unimproved land.\ That dis- cription covers 6,000,000 acres of land in Illinois and about as many in Indiana, If a few hundred thousand people could be removed from the congested districts of the cities, to those acres, city and country would be gainers. The transfer of labor from cities w here it is occasionally employed to rural districts where it could be steadily employed is one of the remedies for poverty mentioned by Prof. Laughlin in his article in the last number of Scribner's Magazine on \The Abolition of Poverty.\ It is a remedy which has nothing utopian about it and should be tried. Millionaires who have moneY to spend could not make a better use of it than in settling men the cities do not want on land that needs cultivatori.-Chicago Tribune. Bank at Three Forks. The work for excavating for the foundations of the new bank building was commenced Tuesday and another fine building will be added to those of our prosperous city. The building will be of brick, two stories high and mod- ern in every respect. Work on the structure is being rushed and we understand the bank expects to move into their permanent quarters in lees than sixty days. -Herald. A Tribute, Julia Ward Howe's sense of the ridiculous has always been a sav- ing grace, leading her to uvo'd grandiloquence. On one occasion a lady at Newport, trying to get a fine sentiment out of her, said, one moonlit evening on a vine - hung veranda: \Mrs. Howe, do say something lovely about my piazza!\ Whereupon every one listened for the reply. In her delicately cultivated voice, Mrs. Howe responded: \I think It is a bully piaz.\-New York Herald. College Men Much credit must be given to the college man as a leader in the procession of fashionable deessera. He's bright and youth- ful and wants to show it in the clothes be wears. His ideas have been admirably interpreted by Strauss Brothers, Master Tailors, Chicago. In both fabrics and fashions, they show many creations that make for the originality sought by Gus college man. You may not number yourself with the \college boys\ but that's bo reason why you shouldn't enjoy the college spirit in your clothes. Don't fail to see the couection of dashingly beautiful fabric* we are now showing. It's worth your while to call whether you order or not. H. II. HUBER, Agent A Forsyth Man who chewed twenty cents' worth of tobacco a week concluded to try a tobacco cure. In two weeks he ate $1.50 worth of the cure, and for the next two weeks used live cents , worth of gum, five cents' worth of candy, five cents'worth of peanuts, and five cents' worth of gumdrops daily. During the next two weeks he had also consumed two large rubber erasers, ate the rubber tips from fourteen lead pencils, chewed up ten penholders, .and browsed off his mustache as high as he could reach. He is now chewing tobacco in the interest of economy. I II IG RE ESTATE BULLETIN Bargains in Whitehall Property. One 4 -room house, well fin- ished, with three full lots; shade trees.

Miss Sarah Ann Amelia Serous Spoke well on graduation day; She looked alluring in white togs, And when she'd had bee, high browed say All vowed it Was the proper caper To print it in the local tamper. It made three columns- something o'er - And Sarah rend it throi with pride; She marveled at its wonderous lore And joy at reading could not hide, For to this maid just graduating Iler words in type were fascinating. But Sarah had hysterics wild That smelling salts would hardly cure; The editor a brute was styled When she had reached the signature; The type machine had slipped its cogis. And made it read Miss Sarah Sitcyntygxtwx! -Denver Republican. Big Reservations Opened In July, 1909, three more Indian Reservations will be opened to the white man.
