CHURCH TROUBLE
GETS INTO COURT
Butte Gazette: As a result of
trouble over the conduct of church af
fairs in the “Church of Christ” at
Gross, J. M. Bayne, one of the officials
of the church was compelled to de
fend himself against an attempt of
Maford K. Stevenson to have Bayne
put under bonds to keep the peace.
The hearing was before Judge Ford
Monday, and at the conclusion of the
hearing, .Judge Ford dismissed the
petition.
The suit was the result of trouble
which has been brewing for some
tine. Stevenson, who is one of the
more recent additions to the church
seems to have become possessed of
the idea that the church was going
wrong, and must get back to the “old
apostolic lines,” as he expressed it.
His first objection was to the organ
and to singing as part of the services.
A year or so ago, he and the then
acting minister, removed ^he wicked
instrument, and brought it to Mr.
Bayne’s home, where it was stored in
the garage. This did not suit the
more progressive faction, and the
ladies, the result being that the lat
ter began a series oi entertainments
and accumulated enough money to
put a fine piano into the church. The
resulting bad feeling came to a cli
max when this fall a Lyceum Course
' was-secured and the church was to
^ be used for the purpose, one of the
^ church societies being the sponser
thereof. Complaint was made to the
deacon, C. E. Yenglin, who went to
see Mr. Bayne, the threats Which
caused the lawsuit being alleged to
have been made to Yenglin. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Bayne strenuously denied
that any threats had been made and
the proof showed that Mr. Bayne had
never kept a gun or firearm of any
kind, and never had a fight writh any
one “except me.” as Mrs. Bayne testi
fied. (She smiled when the Judge re
marked in an undertone “I’ll bet he
got the worst of it.”)
rne cnurcn was punt many years
ag-o and Mr. Bayne lives near it, and
has had charge of the building most
of the time. It is stated that he sug
gested to Yenglin that they go to the
entertainment to which there was ob
jection, and if it was immoral or ob
jectionable no more would be allowed.
Bayne and Stevenson hold the of
ficial positions of elders, and Yenglin
is a deacon. It is claimed that the
great majority of the members sus
tain Bayne in his contention that
more modern ideas should prevail in
the management of the church. Mr.
Bayne stated that things had im
proved so much in the last 2000 years
that it was no use to ask him to go
back and do just as they did then; he
just couldn’t do it. Mr. Yenglin has
been a resident of Spencer for several
years, but has held his official con
nection with the church.
NEBRASKA SECOND IN
PUREBRED SIRES CAMPAIGN
Nebraska stands second in the
number of stockraisers using nothing
but purebred sires. More than 300
farmers in this state have enlisted in
the campaign to encourage breeding
of better stock. Virginia leads all
states, with 1,000 farmers using only
purebred sires. South Carolina fol
lows close to Nebraska. The cam
paign is being conducted co-opera
tively by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, state colleges of
agriculture and local farm bureaus,
in an effort to improve the quality of
live stock. When a farmer has re
placed all his scrub sires with pure
breds he applies to his local farm bu
reau for official recognition as a
breeder of better stock. When his
application is accepted he is awarded
an emblem to post on his farm, ad
vertising the fact that he is a pro
gressive farmer. It is believed that in
five years the campaign will result in
a material improvement in the quality
of the live stock produced in the
United States.
STOCK FEEDERS
REVIEW THE SITUATION
Nebraska stock feeders, in their an
nual fall meeting, decided that it will
cost about 11 cents a pound to pro
duce beef at present feed prices. Corn
was figured to 60 cents a bushel and
alfalfa at $10 a ton. A good many
men are feeding this year in the hope
of obtaining a little more for their
corn than they could by selling it for
cash. Some are turning cattle and
hogs into the fields to avoid the heavy
cost of husking the corn and marketing
it in the usual way. The drop in grain
prices and the tendency of the fat
stock market to weaken are causing
feeders to proceed with caution this
year. While the feeders did not s(*t
any specific price they should have for
their fat stock, because of the varying
prices at which the stuff goes into the
feed lot, as well as some variations in
feed prices, under conditions existing
to date the feeder that receives less
than 12 cents for his finished product
will not be making much money. The
meeting brought out that stock men
are now carefully figumig the cost of
fattening cattle and hogs. The day
of hit and miss business is gone
among the progressive feeders.
FREE PUBLICATIONS
ON JUDGING CATTLE
The United States Department of
Agriculture has issued two publica
tions which should be of much interest
to farmers who buy or raise cattle.
! One is called “Judging Beef Cattle,”
I and the other “The Beef Calf—Its
Growth and Development.'’ The first
bulletin deals with the points one
should know in buying cattle at a
public sale or in obtaining feeders for
the fattennig lot. It deals generally
with the beef type, ponits of the beef
animal, parts of the beef carcass, and
gj>es into some detail in the judging
of fat ctatle, feeders and breeding cat
tle. The other bulletin is intended j
primarily for boys and girls who are
starting in the live-stock busniess, but
it will be of use to any cattle breeder.
It deals with the fundamental princi
ples of selecting a good beef calf and
its care. Residents of Nebraska may
obtain both bulletins free either from
the College of Agriculture Extension
Service at Lincoln or through county
farm bureaus. Ask for Farmers’ bul
letin 1068, “Judgnig Beef Cattle,” and
Farmers’ bulletin 1135.

I Before buying that
OCntas phonograph
Gome- hmanino
on the Nev> Edison
Rachmaninoff has not
only made Re-Creations for
the New Edison. He has also made
recordings for one of the standard
talking-machines.
We are glad to announce that
these talking-machine recordings
ipay now be heard. We wan t you
to hear them—and compare! De
termine for yourself which gives
you the real Rachmaninoff.
jLet us play Rachmaninoff’s
Edison Re-Creations for you.
Mark how clear, how true the
piano tone. See how every note
in his runs, every accent in his in
terpretation, every shade in his
pedalling is perfectly Re-Created.
This was proved by a test made
at Mr. Rachmaninoff’s home in
New York City. He played the
Second Hungarian Rhapsodie
(Liszt) in direct comparison with
the Re-Creation of his perform
ance by the New Edison. The
absolute fidelity of the Re-Creation
to the artist’s original peformance
astounded the listeners.
Make the Rachmaninoff com
parison. It will guide you right
in selecting your Christmas phono
graph.

about our Budget Plan
It brings your New Edison for
Christmas without squeezing your
pocketbook. Remember, too, that,
in buying a New Edison now, you
are virtually buying a before-the
war-value with an after-the-war
dollar. The price of the New
Edison has increased less than 15%
since 1914, and a portion of this
increase is war tax. “ Edison stood
the gaff” to keep his favorite in
vention within the reach of every
one who loves beautiful music.
