If hail comes before harvest it may destroy your crop in a few minutes. The risk of hail damage may be greatly reduced by securing hail insurance from the STATE BOARD OF HAIL INSURANCE which has distibuted over $1,100, 300 to farmers during the last eight years. This is a much great er amount than paid out by any other agency. State hail insuance payments are not subject to garnishment or attachment, but may be assigned. Application for hail insurance on grain must be made to the as sessor of the county in which the grain is growing. Full informa tion will be furnished by any as sessor or by the STATE BOARD OF HAIL IN SURANCE, Helena, Montana.

This met with such a vigorous protest from the floor that it had to be abandoned. When the meeting reconvened, the fireworks starte d. It was found that | th& administrat ion had packed the d j mee ^ n g w ith 25 stalwarts, who by , th wa * had already se nt in their ^ he Secr y eta ry to be cast the ° kl «ang. The «reworks : were , at "^ JrZul , moved that the names ot the various districts of the Association be given bv the Secretary and that the chair announce that £ was in order for ,, members to make other nominations districts be voted for the ~ ; upon for director at this meeting re gardless of districts. Reactionaries Stirred to Action The reactionaries, led by Editor Bruce Johnson, vigorously opposed this move, which culminated in the chair coming to their assistance by. overruling the motion. After the loud 1 protestations against the ruling c £ ! the chair had subsided, Mr. Dow moved that " all mail ballots be re jected and not cast for the following reasons: (1) that the mailing en velopes were opened before the meet 1 ing was called to order, contrary to I the by-laws of the Association, thus a chance for substitution of giving j ballots and (2) because the by-laws ! do not provide for the voting for di } rectors by mail. "Tampering With Ballots" Mr. Dow stated that owing to what occurred a year ago, the opening of the ballots before the meeting, caus ed people to suspect that the ballots were tampered with. He contended ! that mail voting was allowable only at District nominating primaries. This resulted in a confused discussion which resulted in the chairman leav ing the chair and Mr. McConnell tak ing his place. If the new chairman knew anything about parliamentary procedure, he did not display it. In stead he argued vigorously with ev erybody present who disagreed with j him. Mr. Small took a ballot envelope and demonstrated how easy it was, with the outer envelope opened for any interested party to remove the inner envelope which contained the marked ballot, and insert another en velope with the same number but i with a different mark on the ballot. Flathead County Actions Dismissed. The discussion continued until five o'clock when the progressives, led by Mr. Small, told the old gang that they would permit balloting to con tinue only on one condition, viz., that all actions pending against members in Flathead County upon marketing agreements be dismissed and that no more actions be commenced for a year*. This ultimatum was accepted and concurred in by the now whipped Cresap-Hollenbeck gang with the re sult that an agreement was drawn up and signed containing the aforemen tioned proposition. Progressives Elect Majority of Board The balloting for election of direc tors then took place with the result that when the votes were counted and a new board was declared elected, the progressives were shown to have decisively defeated the old gang. yy LOSES GUN, MONEY AND BALL PLAYER Wibaux Deputy Sheriff, Accompanied By Grain Dealer, Pur sue Fugitive Baseball Player to Medicine Lake. While Deputy and His Friend Visit "Bad Lands" and Shoot Craps, Deputy's Gun and Money Disappear from Grip. RETURNS WITHOUT MUCH WANTED TWIRLER Who put the medicine in Medicine Lake ? That is the quiry they are now trying to figure out in the slier iff's office in Wibaux county. "There is a reason-' fc.r the mental cogitations of the she.iff and his dep *^ eS 'o ^ ■ ia i < ris begmnmg in cer tam financial dealings a ball player named Tracy had with , nt , . , 1 , 1 u • WK F Tvannlift club in Wibaux county Tiacy shift- i ted his center of gravity to Medicine Lake. The sheriffs office heard ; about it and forthwith a deputy and | a grain dealer proceeded to Lake" to bring the elusive Mr. Tracy I a , . back to Wibaux county and the base bal1 club he bad overdrawn on. i» The! When the deputy sheriff got a room in a hotel he didn't think he'd need any hardware in the pursuit of Tracy so he left his gun and some money in his grip in the hotel room in which he was to sleep that night. He didn't need to grab Tracy right away and anyway his grain dealer friend want ed to know what kind of "medicine'' they extracted from Medicine Lake. He found that out alright with the re sult that he and the deputy could not see their hands, let alone the il lusive Mr. Tracy. While the baseball player was hid den away by some of the town sports, and the deputy and his friend were sampling the "medicine" and shooting craps with others some one got busy and "appropriated" the deputy's gun and the money in his grip at the hotel. The net result of the deputy sher iff's hilarious trip through the bad lands fringing "The Lake" was the loss of his money, one gun, a fugitive baseball player and his equilibrium. Hence the wondeiment In the Wi baux Sheriffs office as to who was the guy that put the "medicine" in Medicine Lake. MOONLIGHT MAR RIAGE AT COURT HOUSE SUN.

With beaming faces and thanks to the obliging county officers, Henry and Marge proceeded to spend their honeymoon in the city and prepare for their new responsibilities.

The committee is arranging to make July 3rd as interesting as July 4th.
