• 4 • 111E HARDIN Till BUNK • VOL. II. NO. 42. HARDIN, YELLOWSTONE COUNTY, MONTANA, EBIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 190(). WOODMEN LODGE WILL ORGANIZE Work Begun by Greenlee and Nichols is !king Completed by J. F. Strut her:, The movement that started aLout two months ago to organ- ize a M. W. A. camp at this place has been taken up by John F. Struthers, district deputy head counsul, and indications are that a strong camp will be organized here the fore part of November. The parties that first took up the work proved unworthy of their trust and Mr. Struthers was sent here by the head counsul to in- vestigate cobditions and if possi- ble complete the organization. Mr. Struthers state he is getting the tangle pretty well straight- ened out and hopes to organize as above stated. The Modern Woodmen of America is one of the strong lodges of the present day, carries insurance for its members and is doing splendid fraternal work. Particularly men wanting insur- ance, should not neglect this opportunity of securing protec- tion. 4rouse Law Out Nov. 1st. On Nov. 1st. the grouse hunt- ing season will come to an end, and no more birds can be killed legally for another year. Few have been reported killed since the season opened, as the birds were high in the mountains, and none too good eating as the flesh had begun to get strong. There has been a disposition during the few years to have grouse peringh- ently protected by the legislat- ure, but these efforts have failed. It is reported that unless prompt action is taken to save the game bird, it will not be long before it will be harder to find a grouse than it is to find a wild pigeon in Montana. On the bad lands in eastern Montana grouse and chickens are more plentiful than in any other part of the state. Oripmany of the ranches there are still a great many prairie chickens, for they are guarded jealously by the owners of the places, hunting not being per- mitted under any circumstances. In places of this kind chickens stay year in and year out and steadily increase in numbers. Threshing is Over John W. Daily, who has had charge of the threshing rig that operated in the valley this fall, has completed the run and re- turned to his home' in Billings Wednesday evening. Mr. Daily states that he had a larger run than he expected, threshing neatly 42,000 bushels in forty days. He says: \Not more than two-thirds of a crop was threshed owing to the hnil in August and lack of irri ,, ,, in the early part of the )n. In my opinipn another year there will be three times the amount of grain raised in this vicinity han was raised this year. There is more than double the acreage of winter wheat sown now than was sown last year and in most cases the ground is in better con- dition and the wheat looks very healthy.\ He says that despite the draw hacks of the season, the majori- ty of the farmers are very opto- mistic and are already doating .)n t yParS crop. If you want loan on your ranch see J. W. Johnston. Montana's Greatness James J. Hill in his speach on President Taft's day at the state fair at Helena after speaking of the building of the Great Nor- thern road through the treasurer state said: \Now I have never lost faith for one moment in the fertility of the soil of Montana. And to -day what have I sean? I have seen the fruition of our hope, maybe our hopes deferred, but in that building there is an exhibition of agricultural pro- ducts that cannot be obtained by any other state or province on this continent. And in some re- spects it cannot be equealed by any state or province on this con- tinent. I was glad to see your cattle, and thay are fine and a credit to the state. I was glad to See your livestock, I was glad to see your fruit. It all goes to make happier, more com- fortable lives for the people, but let me say that the great founda- tion of your fut-tre prosperty is in your ground; and Montana, in my judgment, will be the great- est grain growing—that is the growth of small grains—greater than that of any state in the Union and from what I saw I am not prepared to say that Mon- tana will not eventually be' a great corn state. But' if you are not a great corn state, you will rank in the very foreground' in alfalfa, and alfalfa will take the place of corn. If you want to feed livestock and put your cat- tle and your hogs in very prime condition, remember that with alfalfa and barley you can make as good beef and as good pork as ever was offered anywhere. The best hams in the world are known as Westphalia hams, and my German friends here know there was never a kernal of corn fed to hogs in Westphalia.\ Using Denmark as an example Mr. Hill showed how this nation could support six times its pres- ent population—better cultiva- tiod of the land, by getting peo- ple on small farms and getting the last and best result that can be gotten out of the land. Cook Cancles Dates In last weeks issue of the Trib- une we announced that Dr. Cook, the north pole explorer, would lecture at the Babcock theatre in Billings on the evening of Oct, 29th. Information of later date advises that he has cancled all dates west of Minneapolis. The Right Kind For a good everyday house- hold angle, give us a woman who laughs. Home is not a bat- tlefield, nor life one long unend- ing row. A trick of always see- ing the bright side, or if the thing has no bright side, of shin- ing up the dark one, is a very important faculty and one of the things no woman should be born without. We are not all born with the sunshine in our hearts,. as the Irish prettily phrase it; but we can cultivate a cheerful sense of humor if we only try. Ex. P. O.

Everybody will attend the farming congress at Billings ne , 1 V week so says the Billings Gaze , J. H. Sledd of the Northwe: tern Stockmen ann Farmer, wh( returned from the Dakotas Mon day, says: \At Glendive the have chartered a car and expeci to have enough people coming ti require two or three cars. The have a car load of exhibits thai was started toward Billings to day. The car started from W) baux and 4nished loading a' Glendive. Practically every dis trict in Dawson county is repre sented in the car. Some of tilt Glendive people told me they eN pected fully two hundred peopk would come from that place to Billings for the Congress. \I heard the same kind of talk in Rosebud and Custer coun- ties. In fact the entire eastern part of the state and wiktern North Dakota there is keener interests hi the coming congress than in any other agricultural gathering of the year. The lit- tle town of Beach is rapidily re- covering from the effects of the fire.of a few months ago and will have a good representation here.\ Two carloads arrived from Alberta, Canada, Sunday. The exhibit was collected under the direction of Thomas H. Woolford of Cardston, who is a member of the advisory exhibits commit- tee for Canada. The exhibits from the various places in the province were assembled at Leth- bridge, where the local board of trade had gathered a large dis- play of 'crops from that section. By courtesy of the United States treasury department, Billings has been made temporarily a port of entry and the cars of Canadian exhiblts were permitted to be brought direct to Billings with- out the inconvenience of being stopped for customs inspection at the border. There will be three delegates from Illinois, one being the ed- itor of the country lands depart- ment of the Chicago Record - Herald. They have informed the secretary that they will tell the westerners how much their section of the country is inter- ested in the queition of dry farming. Illinois and Indiana find their interests in the sub- ject because of the necessity of applying methods of agriculture that will prevent losses during the years when drouths devas- tate their fields. Storm Sweeps the East While we have been enjoying the finest kind of weather a num- ber of the states have beeen vis- ited by severe storms. As early as the 11th a terrific storm swept over Minnesota, Iowa and Mis- souri. a fall of several inches of , snow being reported. - In other states still further south a tem- perature of 15 degrees above , zero was recorded. The storm seem* to have traversed the en- tire length of the Mississippi valley. At Key West,Florida,the , lamage to property, caused by the storm, is estimated at $2,000,- 000. One hundred vessels were in harbor and but five remained at anchor, the others either having gone to sea or been washed upon the beach. G. H. Thomas has had a crosq ing put in across 4th street. PER YEAR. Gibson Bros. Away To show our appreciation of our cash business, we have purchased from the J.,13. Mier Furnitnre Co. a $45.00 Wilton rug which will be given away to our Customers. With each Dollar purchase customers are entitled to one cupon, we keeping duplicate of all cupons. On December 4th at 2 oclock p. m., the duplicates will be put in a box and shaken up by some disinterested party. Some child chosen will then draw from the duplicates until a number is secured, whose corresponding number is held by some customer, who will then be entitled to the rug. In order to be entitled to a chance on this rug each cupon holder must be present with cupons, or have some representative present with coupons. The draw- ing will positively continue till a number is secured held by some purchaser. Will begin giving cupons on Mon- day morning Oct. 25. Rug ck‘i!1 ;114 hi% be given away on this date, dS staled above. Gibson Bros.

Less After the First of January After the first day of next January if you issue a check for less than one dollar you will be liable to a penalty under the fed- eral law. ...That may be news to most people, but it is a fact. The new penal code of the United States goes into effect on the date named, and among its provisions is one which forbids under penalty the making, issu- ance, circulation or paying out of any note,check,memorandnm, token or other obligation for an amount less than one dollar. Its presence in the bill reported by he committee to modify the laws in the last congress attract- ed no attention in either chamber of that body, and the measure became federal law in the closing hour of the final session on March 4, 1909. Accordingly the New York Commercial bankers, mail-order houses and business folks in gen- eral are up in arms over the en- actment, for its inforcement will mean the substitution of postage stamps, subsidiary coins and postoffice money orders in lieu of bank checks in payment of ac- counts representing fractions of a dollar. If the purpose of the designers of the provision— whoever they may have been— was to stimulate the sale of post- age stamps and money orders, the goternment's gain thereby would be something very close to minus quality, because the num- ber of such, checks is consider- able; but they are very conven- ient at times in adjusting bal- ances, whereas t) secure the ex- act change in coins or tempor- arily convert sticky postage stamps into a circulating -medium is bothersome in the extreme, while balancing accounts, big or lItt le, with money orders entails1 Ii The Money \SI \yr .414h.
