The completed program for the
short course which begins next Thurs
"«Jay TuFeiiöön and'continues until the
end of the week, provides for prac
tically every hour of the three days
and evenings. The activities of the;
course this year have been central
ized at the High school auditorium
building, with the exception of the
poultry show which will most
ably be established in the science
laboratory room of the High school
, building just* across the street from
the auditorium. The committee
been able to do this by eliminating
the live stock show for this year,
They hesitated to cut out the livestock,
but owing to the late winter, the dif
ficulties of properly caring for the
stock presented a problem which de
t ided the matter.
Ben Beach, head of the agricultural
department of the Belt Valley High
school, announces that he will be glad
to assist anyone in the selection of.
fowls for the poultry exhibit. Pens
for the fowls to be exhibited can be
secured at the manual training de
partment of the school.
An outline of the program is pre
sented herewith and indicates a var
iety of subjects that should appeal to

Among the visiting speakers and
demonstrators who have consented to
attend the course are A J. Ogaard
«who will talk on "Pun- and Certified
prob-jseed," and "Tillage Methods." Prof.
C. W. Amett will cover the livestock
situation in an able manenr and give
hints upon the organization of live

this affair is exclusive and admittance
j is confined to niamed couples of ma

I from reports it seems that the Great

backing the proposal intend to leave
no stone unturned to carry their

stating that at a meeting held in lha»
town sentiment was almost unanimous
favor of budd J7 the canyon road,

appoftioned by fc
for the graveling of the Great Falls-'
Cascade road,
The good roads committee of the.
Great Falls Commercial dub also pre

Parties from Simms and the Bird Tail
divide section argued against buildng
the road at any time, while members
of the Taxpayers' association and
others argued that the project should
be delayed until financial condition*
were bettor. The legality of the ac
ft ion wax also attacked, il being the
belief of one speaker that the bond
money could not be legally used for
(the construction of the cut-off, and it
was also declared that a big oppos

from taxpayers who know what they

in their belief that they can reduce
taxes. Realizing that the ordinary
taxpayer is not familiar with the du
of the county assessor's office,
and believing that the taxpayers' as-1

whom I do not consider honest in
their urging, I would state that this
office is open at all times to visits of
any taxpayer, and every explanation .
asked will be cheerfully given. Our
books are open and 1 would ask the
public to call and examine at any
time, and I welcome suggestions and
honest criticism—but not from big

pearance in this vicinity some 10 or
12 days ago, the first of the week be
came prevalent throughout the city
and community and since then there
has been some 30 cases calling for the
ministrations of physicians, while
there have been as many more who
have not been sufficiently ill with it,
who have not cared to call profes
sional services. Last Sunday marked
the beginning of the disease here in
a prevalent form, and a dozen or more
persons were reported as having
come down with it. Monday and
Tuesday new cases continued to devel
op rapidly until Tuesday night jt was
e$timaatod there were fully HO per
sons sick with it ur just recovering.
The disease is showing no claas par
(iality and those in ail walks of life
have suffered from it. In some in
stances whole families are suffering
fmm its effets.
As is fhe case all over tfye country,
the disease is in a much milder form
than during the epidemics of 1918
19, and so far, locally, no flu pneu
monia has developed. As a rule the
patients are confined to their homes
only from a couple of days to a week,
and the after-effects, while leaving
them weak, are not of the severe na
ture of the former outbreak. In fact,
many of those suffering from it have
not considered themselves sick enough
to take to their beds.
