This town amid tbe fertile loam Js just as good a town as Rome Ha boost for Home! Tbe shower that fell Monday night was most refreshing ami plainly indi cated that tbe elements will not al ways withhold thetr moisture. When the school bell rings next Monday morning another school year will have begun. The enrollment promises to be tlio largest in the .bistory of this district. The products gathered for exhibit at the state fair plainly show that in upito of tho drouth it is posslblu to grow grains and vegetables in hot weather without rain. If it is pos sible to glow a little why Isn't it pos sible to grow much ? Why lu it thai some fields of corn will yield at least n half crop and other Hclds nothing? There must be a reason for tills and if it is possible for onu man to raise a crop under adverse conditions- it is possible for all. The man who takes advantage of this Ituowlcdgu is the man who will win. The more we icatljof thu actions of 1'rcsldeut Wilson thuinore fully we become, convinced the people of these t'nited States made no mistake when they elected him. When the news pnpci men go lo him for interviews on the givat national questions of the day, ho smiles and tells theiu, in a pleasant way. "that when he hay given the matter enough thought lo bo able to answer Intelligently, he will then take it tip with congress and the news paper boys will te given the informa tion desired as soon as it is practical." So dllfeient; no grandstanding; no ad vertising; no posing before the people as a greBt mau of statsmanshlp. Simple, plain and careful the kind of mau that everyone trusts. No, we made no mistake when we elected Woodrow Wilson. Monroe County Appeal. A gooil example of an unreliable re porter is given elsewhere in this issue Anyone rendirg the article would come to the conclusion that every farmer in the country was busy knock ing his pigs in the head. He would also thing that nil Inhabitants were actually starving to death. Reportc of this character can do untold dam ago to any country because tlio aver ago render at a distance will take the statements for the absolute truth. Years ago this country suffered more from tlio stories of Indians and cow boys circulated by unreliable report ers than it ever did from grats-hoppers or drouth. Just what pleasure these writers got in drawing on their imagination is unknown but the He once let lonse travels with the wind. Tbe last Napoleon lost Sedan, and died in exile, because he went to fight before he was ready. How many young men and women, when the bat tle of life is on, will fail because they were not prepared for the Contest! It is education alone which enables us to tight from vautngo ground. They who do not have It will not bo able to stand when the heavy charges are made on them, Success must be won, and how can It be done without a drilled mind, liko n skillful general, to lead the assault? Do not accept ignorance or partial propitiation us your lot, u oy any means you can osoapu It. It is not by jerks that the load Is moved. It is the steady pull that counts. Spasmodic getting ready usually ends in no preparation at all and consequent failure. The student who comes to school regularly, and adds to each day's acquisition it little more knowledge Is growing, Is laying by a sinking fund upon which he can draw in the futitie, anil above all, he is gaining mental miisclo to enable him to combat the ditlleultles of his later life. IMucation is u growth. If it be sudden, liko that of, the mush room, It will amount to as little, if it be like that of the oak, It will be per manent and useful. Uncle Sam Offers i Montana Land Most persons arc prone to under value picnics. Ileie it is "that old frleuds meet and enjoy n good visit. !Tlie picnic furnishes a means for the commuuity to get better acquainted. In the early days people were more sociable because they bad more picnics more meetings, more social gather ings. We need to return to the old time festival that we may become bet ter acquainted with each other. In this connection the Chief would like to suggest to the business men of tbe city, to the Chamber of Commerce or to auy other organization that it would be helpful to have an old time dinner given by tbe city to the people of the surrounding country. We gave up our cbautauqua for the year but that is no reason why we should not provide some entertainment to take its place. Frame Construction Is Most Preferable for homo building not only on account of its economy, but be cause of its adaptability to chang ing conditions. Homes built of wood are easily moved from one location to another; they can be altered or enlarged without Injur ing their general appearance for the reason that painting will make the old look as good as the new. Instead of painting being consid ered an expense it should really be held as an improvement because it freshens up the whole appearance of your home, and instead of ulti mate decay and deteriorated value as is the case wlth'ljtbstitutes that can only be renovated by building a whole new house, your home be comes constantly more valuable This Is only one of the little things to consider when building a home, "Little drops of water, etc., make a a mighty ocean." Come in and we'll tell you more about lumber. "There's Ifc Mm Like Neae" Saunders Bros. Ret Cloud.

Peck Indian tesctvallou in north east ern Montana next month. This is the last great laud drawing Uncle Suut has to offer bis people hikI one of the greatest In the history of government laud openings in point of fertility, (lovernment agricultural experts esti mate that when this vast stretch of virgin soil is tilled it will add about S5,0(H),0U0 bushels of grain annually to the production of the United States enough to feed an entire nation. The Interior Department is making extensive preparations to rush a big corps of clerks to Glasgow, Havre and Great Falls, Mont., which are to be the registration points. These land otllces will be open September 1 next and tlte work of tiling for this land will then begin. The people will have a chance to coutlnue filing until Sep tember '20. The vustness of the area opened to white settlement is expected to make this one of tbe most alluring laud openings over presented to tlte people Inasmuch as their opportunity of get ting something in the drawing will be much better thuu in any previous luud opening. For instance when the Coeur U'Alene, Flathead and Spokane land -drawings were held lust year a total of UO.OoO people filed and dtew for the lauds in those three Indian reservations, the total men of which was about one fourth of the area to be opened upon the Ft. Ieck reservation. Government otllclnlsdo not think that more than 75,ut0 people will lllo tor the Fl, I'eck laud. Hence the chances ul drawing a quarter seoliou in the Ft. Feck reservation 'lottery" aie about tour times as good as they have been in previous government laud drawings Thu actual value of t'lls laud is said b) government agtict:.- tttral experts to average about 4-'."i an acre. However, tlio government's ap praisal for its opening to wuitujjutt le nient is only from SL' r0 to $7 per acre, thus making real prizes for those who draw this laud. The drawing wilt take place 111 this way. The names of all who Ule for laud will be placed In it big box and the envelopes drawn out one by one and ttumbeted, until enough envelopes arc taken from the box lo coriespoud with the number of quarter sections available 8.100. Those getting the eurly numbeis will uf course get lirst pick of the laud, in rotation, nccurdiug to the uuwbeis drawn, Then actual settlement of tbe luud will begin. May 1, 1014.

I'lio settler, however, has the option of taking advantage of the now three year liomeatead law by paying for hit laud at the cud ot three years and thus proving up on It. This gives the man of small means a chance for his "white alley." Half a doieu modern town-sites al ready have been located by the govern ment at poiuts along the main trans continental line of the Great Northern Railway which runs through the Ft.

This is unfortunate as only plowing has I een found to ulve bet lot' i cults than latf. Tito ylold from July phmimr hu frequently bent found to be double that of September plowing Disk plows will work in a drier soil than will it mold board plow and ato being used this summer to a considerable ex tent. Except on sandy soils deep plowing is best if It has time to settle nnd form a deep, firm seed bed from which the plants may diaw plant food, and in which they may develop a strong, vigorous root system. On the other hand, according to Nebraska bulletin No. IIP, "Where the plowing is done shortly before seeding nnd danger of dry weather exists, the plowing should be rather 'shallow unless plenty of help is available to work the ground until it Is thoroughly firmed. If the soil is plowed deep and the seed sown without much working, the furrow slice will be loose, and may dry out. before the young plants get their roots through it and established in tbe firm, moist soil beneath " It Is Important that each day's plow ing be harrowed tbe same day that it is plowed, particularly if the soil is moist It is not only easier to pulver ize than at any other time, but the mulch which is formed reduces loss by evaporation.
