STATE VOCATIONAL
AGENT AT COLLEGE
Work Started First of This Month
to Provide Education
for Crippled
Last Friday and Saturday, Mr. F.
C. Clayton, rehabilitation agent of
the feredal bureau of vocational edu
cation. was in Bozeman for the pur
pose of discussing state rehabilitation
work with Mr. G. B. Edwards and
Lloyd A. Henry. Mr. Henry was re
cently appointed to have charge of
federal rehabil tation work in Mon
tana, with offices at the State col
lege here, and Mr. Edwards is state
director of vocational training, with
offices at the state capitol at Hel
ena
Tho work of rehabilitation and vo
cational training is divided into two
and while
se;r":te departments,
working together are administered
from separate offices. Mr. Henry
wdi devote his time to the industrial
department and will direct the voca
tional training, not only of the fed
eral, but of the state boai'd and will
co-ordinate them. He has his office
work fully established at the college
and Mr. Edwards has been taking a
survey of the state for the purpose
of preparing the way for those de
siring vocational assistance.
The object of the vocational de
partment is to make it poss ble for
those who have received permanent
injuries whereby they cannot earn
their own livelihood in the occupation
formerly followed. The present work
of the department is making a sur
vey of the state listing those who de
sire to bo placed so that they may re
ceive the train ng that will make
them self sustaining. There are
many in the state who at this time
are charges upon the county, who
could, with a reasonable amount of
training, become self supporting;
many desire to do so and these will
be given the chance. They will be
examined a ; to their rrof ciency in
ard ability to take up some gainful
occupation and will be assisted in ac
quir'ng the trade or profession for
whleh they are fitted.
The state has made no financial
provisions with which to do this work,
but has provided the director. His
v/ork will be that of bringing those
des ring trainmg in contact with
those who can make jt possible for
f ctr to do so and in th:s way bring
about the desired results. In some
counUes there are people who are
bung cared for at county expanse,
v 1 o wish to. make their own way.
i commissioners will be met by
i ' r * "'*nry and toe method of opera
t;on of the plan explained. The
amount of expense that is pa d out
at the present time to keep some of
the charges can be expended upon
them in giving them the training to
make them self supporting and in
this wav the burden is taken from
the taxpayers, and those who are
now county charges will become in
dependent and make their own way.
ROUNDUP HAS FULL
With Parade at 10:30 Wednesday
Morning the Big Event Started.
Big Crowd Attending
With the big parade at 10:30 sharp
Wednesday, the roundup was off in
full swing in Bozeman, riders, horses,
Indians and everything right on deck.
From every indication this will be
the greatest success of any round
up ever staged. The great number
of world wide riders that have en
tered for the big contests assures
V
. . . J
the patrons of everything there is in
the line of good horsemanship.^

Helen Holm, well known movie ac
tress, who has done trick riding
everywhere, will be one of the big
features as will be Annetta Trickey,
who has the reputation of being the
best there is in a saddle. Many of
the great lady n ;..s are here and
will tackle anythin j with hair and
four legs. Yakima Kanute came in
Monday to /participate and he will
have his hands full to win here, as he
recently did in CL. ago, for there
are so many high cla s r ders on the
program that it will Le a close run
for first place.
There are several strings of relay
horses here, the moet recent arrival
being a bunch of fast horses from
Moose Jaw and another from Chey
enne. The relay races, always pop
ular, will prove to be big events thir
year. The prizes are good enough
to attract the very best and the ef
fort to win will be shown when they
line up for the start. It will be for
blood. Three bands will funrsl

HAY S MAKING TIME IN GALLATIN COUNTY
The first cutting of Alfalfa proved to be a big one this year throughout Gallatin county, most of which is now up. Production of alfalfa, clover
timothy and all, hay crops usually bring big returns but this year there will be a better yield than for the past four years due to the presence of all the
water needed for irrigation. The 150,000 acres of irrigated land in Gallatin county will produce wonderful returns in all grains this year and the
farmer is now in the midst of the harvest.

Elk's City League
Boss This Season
By Winning Game From K. C.s Fri

Away by Fast Team
The final
contest between the
Elk's and K. C. baseball teams for
the city championship, came to a fin
ish Friday evening when the umpire
stopped it in the Elks half of the
ninth ow ; n? to the darkness . The
j score was 14 to 9 when the last in
ning was started, in favor of the
Elk's, and this was the official score
given out.
Excitement ran high during every
inning of this game, there being ex
tra Interest in it as the deciding one
of the season for the title - and
friends of each team were there in
great number. It was the largest
crowd that witnessed a game this
season. The rooting was at times
deafening and the cheers from the
sidelines kept the players
toes at every moment.
There was so me, fine baseball dis
played as well as some mighty poor
playing, at times, while all through
the playing was such as to give every
patron all the thrills desired. As one
of the rooters stated, big league
teams "had done worst lots of times,
and the truth was never more surely
spoken. The home boys participating
in the final game are all to be comm
ended for their ability as ball play
ers.

Saturday afternoon the champions
met a picked team from the country'
outside of Bozeman and won again
the score at the finish being 20 to 9.
This game could not be considered a
fair estimate of the ability of the two
teams as the visitors were without
any previous practice togather. It
might have been a different story
had the county team played a few
before the exhibition Saturday at the
Gallatin Day contest. There were in
the team, players from the Belgrade,
Three Forks and Salesville teams
and as individual players they showeo
excellent ability but their teamwork
showed the lack of practice togather.
MENARD LINE EXTENSION
Members of the Bozeman chamber
of commerce held a conference with
officials of the Milwaukee railroad
Tuesday afternoon at which time the
matter of construction of the Men
ard extension line was discussed.
The matter was gone over very
thoroughly at this conference, and
the necessity of the line was agreed
to by every one present. It was stat
ed by the officials that at this time
it is impossible for them to consider
this extension, or in fact, any ra 1
road construction. They agreed, how
ever that they would give the Men
ard line first consideration over any
other construction which may be
started later on. When condition^
arrive whereby the Milwaukee can
take up again the building of ex
tensions and other improvement, it
is their intention to do this work at
the earliest possible moment.

A very interesting talk was giv
en by E. P. Johnson, state trade
manager for the John Deere Plow
company. After giving the city of
Bozeman a very fine compliment for
its advanced civic development and
comparing it with eastern cities of
40.000 or 50.000 population, he prais
ed the progressiveness of the citi

zens.
Mr. Johnson discussed the present
business and industrial conditions of
the country, giving as his opinion
that thei'e would be greater problems
to meet during the coming winter
months than had yet been met.
Sneaking of the larger industrial
sections and the working people
there, he stated his belief that there
would be more bread lines and more
people would have to be cared for this
winter than has been the case for
many years. This will be due to a
large extent to the fact that a great
many of the large manufacturing
plants will be either closed or run
ning on greatly reduced output- As
an instance of what may be looked
forward to in this respect, he sighted
the fact that the Moline Plow, the
Rhode Island and the John Deere
Plow companies are now about shut
down* This has had the effect of
throwing many thousand of people
out cf woik who will be unable to se
cure employment soon.
There are also many other plants,
he stated, manufacturers of stand
ard articles, that are closed at this
time with no outlook of immediate
resumption of work. This has added a
great number to those out of em
ployment, and there will be many
thousands more without work with
in the next six months. Cool heads,
careful managers, and above all in
telligent jj^ndling of the affairs of
business, will be necessary to avert
a real panic. This state will not be
Fable to suffer as will those of the
eastern and western coast, for it has
so much to sustain itself, was the
opinion of Mr. Johnson, but he cau
tioned all to be moderate in their un
dertakings.
