NEW BUILDING FOR THE BANK Handsome Structure Will Be Begun About June 15th The First State Bank will com- mence the construction of their new bank building as soon as the plans which have been ordered from the architect can be submitted, and bids received from contractor& . The building will be a two-story pressed brick, of ha adsome corner effect in architecture. Two lots were purchased from the townsite com- pany on the south side of Central avenue, the one where the building will stand being on the corner of First street. The structure will be a pleasing addition to the substantial buildings of Stanford, and will indicate to the public the confidence felt by the stockholders in the institution in the growth and development of this The World, in common with the - other papers of the state, has given generously of its space for the ad- vertisement of these institutes. It be- lieves that the best interests of Mon- tana will be subserved by the proper education of the settlers it has this year. It has implicit faith in the soil and climate of the state, but to reach the best results the efforts of the farmers must be carried on in a more scientific manner than are usually followed in older and more oopiously watered stated. There is no richer soil lying outdoors than that which comprises the many thousands of acres in the Judith Basin and other basins tributary to Stanford. A thorough knowledge of climate and crop conditions, though, is absolutely necessary to the attainment of the degree of suc- cess which the fabulous richness of the soil entitles its cultivator. A crop failure where farming has been done in the best manner taught by experience has never been re- corded. The state has never sent from its borders a man or family poorer than when they came, much less hungry, and never will if the proper heed is paid to the teachings of those whose long yearsof exper- ience and scientific education en. titles them to an attentive Marini The World has said before, an repeats again, that this year in MATTR OF DRESS HOW THE WPRL4 WEARS ITS CLOTHES T HE type with which a newspaper is printed, in the parlance of the profess.ign, is its \pfress.\ That heing understood, the readers of this paper will pardon it if it pauses for a few periods to shy bou- quets at itseif.

Of this type the World makes its dress. Using type is ,like wearing dresses, all in the wearing ; This paper is not ashamgq to aPPagr 01 any company, for in fact there are but few more gistinguished appearing papers in circulation—distinguished for good l breeplipg, which no plebian can imitate. IS A GIANT STEAM PLOW F RANK W. MITCHELL this week contracted with Arthur T. Harvey qf Philbrook, for the breaking of a tract of land of several hundred acres. Mr. Harvey has recently purchased a giant steam plow en- gine, 110 -horse power \Beat with a full compliment of mold board plows, discs, etc., and is baying it shipped to Stanford. With this equipment he will turn over forty acres of sod each day, and disc it as he plows. This rig is of the type used in the grain fields of California. Mr. Harvey will later buy a combined harvester and threseher to be operated with the engine. He will make $ . 1.60 per day during the plowing season. Montana is a critical one. Many in- experienced farmers have come to the state and are now engaged in breaking ground for their first effort at crop raising in a dry land region. If these people fail, then there will have been done to the state an ir- repairable injury—one that can be attributed alone to their lack of edu- cation. In nearly every hamlet and town in the broad state today there is a commercial club, or some boost- er organization. the object of which is to get people Into the state. Everywhere cities and towns are ad- vertising the latch string outside the door, and urging people to come and be of thorn. Let Stanford not oease a moment in its efforts to get peo- p le into this section, and in referring to the subject the World does not seek to discourage the hopes and efforts of such worthy organizations, but into the constitutions and by- laws of these organizations it would ufge the word educate along with \advertise.\ While other cities and towns are advertising their resources and allowing the settler to educate himself, which in many instances will be at the sorrowful school of experience, let 's go them one bet- ter, and educate what we have here now, The best advertisement the country can have is 40 bushels of wheat per acre. Every acre in the Basin will produce that amount if properly tilled. A . 1101',.Il.II1fIARIISTOCR A CY 0 'fill[]; I SHOW .

The Goilmars this year are carrying a 80 -car train of ani- mals and circus equipment. The whole of Fergus county will be plastered with bills calling attention to the grand exhibition, and rail- roads will sell excursion rate tickets for the occasiou. Fred C. Gollmar, one of tke owners, and Fred A. Morgan, railroad contracting agent, were in Lewistown Saturday and made the necessary arrangements— and the Fergus county youth, and the older generation, who never grow too old to attend a circus and see the animals, need not worry further, for the joy of childhood and the delight of old age will be their portion for these gentlemen have said so.

S. Senator, Mont.) During the past twenty years I have annually cultivated from fifty to three hundred acres of land in Cascade county, depending wholly on the natural moisture, and from my indifferent methods of farming I have learned that the possibilities of farming on the rich, mellow lands of northern Montana are almost without limit. During this time I have never failed to grow on sum mer-fallowed land in the dryest years we have had in all this time, a crop of wheat considerably larger than the average wheat crop of Minnesota or North Dakota. I re- gret that I did not sooner learn by practical tests the advantages that can be derived from growing alfalfa without , irrigation. For, while this (Continued on page 6.) will probably be made at Butte in both directions for Anaconda and intermediate points on the B. A. & P. Ry. No. 43 will leave Billings at 7:00 a. in., Great Falls at 3:20 p. m. Shelby 7:15 p. m., connecting with train No. 361 for Sweet Grass and Lethbridge. No. 44 will leave Great Falls at 9:50 a. na., arrive Billings 6:00 p. m. The Gollmar brothers are cousins of the famous Ringlings, who have done so much to place th'e Ameri- can circus on a plane of respecta-. bility, and who stand today the ab, solute kings of the show arena ; Respectability in the show business has paid the Ringlings, and it is paying the Gollmars. With their circus there is no graft. The entire business of the show is carried on with as much regularity as though it were a savings bank under gov, ernmental supervision. The old, time circus agent with them is no more. There is no one whose cosi, tion compels him to lie about the show. They have certain prescribed duties to perform and that is all. The Gollmar brothers offer to the people of Montana the cleanest At- traction ever 4iven under a canvas. CONCRETE CO. OPERATION A Force of Men Turning Out Blocks for Every Purpose A visit to the' works of the Stan, ford Concrete company in the south, eastern part of town yesterday jound that company with a force of workmen engaged in turning out the product, which seems to be a modern version of the stuff from which the Egyptians built the pyra- mids. The product is in the shape of brick, blocks, chimney and cor- nice pieces. The chimney bears re- semblance to brick work, but in- stead of being brick laid one upon the other it is built in sections, that is the the hole, bounded on four sides with cement. Every piece manu- factured has its peculiarity and its individual place in the building of which it will be a part. There is no doubt that there will be a ready demand for the entire output. 1 1 o te I ,';lanford Best Hotel on Billings & Northern Railway. Handsome Three -Story Building.
