STO BE TAUGHT IN SCHOOL The Yellowstone county farm bureau has announced that in view of the precept that more farmers fail because of poor farm management than as a result of poor production, a series of farm management and household accounts schools will be held. A systematic study of farming will be started, according to County Agent R. S. Brossard, in these schools, the first meeting of which are to be as follows: Elder Grove school, at Hesper, Octo ber 12; Cody hall, at Comanche, Octo ber 13; Broadview hall, at Broadview, October 14; Shepherd hall, at Shepherd, October 15; city hallat Laurel, October 18; Community hall, at Pineview, October 19; Sinton's hall, at Pompeya Pillar, October 20, and at the church in Bal lantine October 21. 'Farm and household accounting will be featured at the first series of meetings," said Mr.

Brossard. "Detailed study will be made of farm and home bookkeeping, and everyone present will familiarize himself with the account book. When the details are definitely understood the farmer will start an in dividual record of his own farming op erations in an account book furnished free for the purpose. Follow-up meetings will be held, as fount necessary, for the completion of the work. "Originally, the farmer produced everything necessary for the family.

The few things not raised were received in trade at the village store. The meas ure of the farmer's success was judged by his ability to produce his own food and clothing rather than by his ability to organize his business and buy and sell. With the introduction of machin ery in the factory and on the farm money has become a necessity for the farmer. He sells most of his products and buys most of his necessities. All these changes mean that the farmer has become a business man.

He produces, sells and buys. These changes demand the application of business principles in farming. "The kind of' business ability needed is not so much that of a trader as the executive who can organize a farm into a successful business enterprise. The idle horse in the barn is a more frequent source of loss than is the bad bargain in buying a horse. "The record books on the farm will assist the farmer to improve his business.

It will furnish the facts for study so that his farming organization can be improved. The 'leaks' in the business can be discovered and thepaying en terprises found. Readjustment of the farming operations and home expend! tures will unquestionably result. "The account book is a valuable asset as a record for income tax payments. Thousands of dollars' worth of unjust income taxes will be paid unless record books are started on the farm." No charge is to be made for the schools and the record books are to be furnished free.

It will be necessary for those wishing to attend the schools to Registration cards can be ob tained from H. S. Brossard, county agent, or Miss Inez Foster, home dem onstration agent, Billings. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Jacob Kuhn et ux to Charles Waltrip, lots 1-8 inc.

Trudell of Home of Stein Bloch Smart Clothes Opposite Babcock Theater 119 North Broadway in SIM By Doctors have determined that Beau- dette Barton, 13, from Sarpy creek below Hysham, suffered concussion of the brain as the result of being run down by an automobile on South Twenty-eighth street Tuesday night, but it was reported from St. Vincent hospital last night that there is every indication favorins the lad's satisfactory recovery. The story of the accident as told by Clifford Campbell, 17, Beaudette's com panion, sounded like a chapter out of the experiences of Huck Finn anl Tom Sawyer, but in this case the young adventurers didn't have the hardy luck of Mark Twain's classic pair. It appeared that the boys decided to quit the old homesteads on Sarpy creek and try their fortunes in the wide, wide world. They set their faces toward the city.

On arrival they determined to petition for employment at the sugar factory, and it was on the way to the factory that misfortune overtook young Barton. City bustle and traffic regulations are confusing when one has always had free range of the hills and is only 13. Young Barton felt more comfort able walking in the road than on the sidewalk. He never thought to look back. The automobile, a grocery truck driven by Fred Swartz, came from be hind.

When he suddenly looked around the glare of headlights confused him; Instead of stepping out of the road he jumped into the path of the machine. The police were called and sent the lad to the hospital. Beaudette's father, a prominent cattleman of Sarpy creek. came yesterday after being notified of the accident.

The bank has made its investigations and applications and examinations of titles with out charge. ALLEGED AUTO THIEF SOUGHT BY OFFICERS The sheriff's force is seeking James J. McGraw, it became known Wednesday, on a charge of having stolen a Mitchell roadster from P.

N. Price. McGraw, who has been engaged in insurance business in Billings for some time, is said to have disappeared last Thursday morning. The authorities struck his trail at Livingston a day or so later, but no further trace of him has been found, it was said. Livingston informants were reported to have given the opinion that the man was traveling toward Helena.

Price, who is also an insurance man, swore out a warrant for McGraw's arrest. It was understood that he had entered a deal whereby McGraw was to buy the car, but the transaction was not completed. Price said the machine was taken from front of his garage at his residence, 3012 Second avenue north. It was intimated that other persons might file charges against McGraw if he is apprehended. Price has offered a reward of J50 for information leading to the recovery of his automobile.

He said the license number of the machihe was 53.255. Ex-Soldier Has a Good Stomach. "If a man spends six years in the army he surely would have to have-a good stomach. I have a good one now, and Foley Cathartic Tamlets made it that way. If any one does not believe this, let him write to Arthur L.

H. Steele. The local department had planned to show fire prevention pictures on Saturday, but was unable to obtain the films. Chief Steele, however, would have citizens of Billings benefit in every way possible from the proclamations drawing attention to the Importance of fire prevention precautions. "All citizens should make personal surveys of their homes," he said.

"Especially, should they examine their chim neys and furnaces, which they are soon to use, get the rubbish out ol the attic and the ashes out of the cellar. "The value of setting aside one day of the year to bring to the attention of the people the awful losses which we suffer from preventable fires can not be estimated, but why have one dav or one week each year? We should practice fire prevention every day of the year. If the habit of being caret ui with fire can be formed our national ash heap will diminish in size until it becomes negligible as one or the dan ererous sources of loss. "No matter how well trained and equipped the fire departments may be, no matter how many laws are pro mulgated, until the great mass of humanity in this country establish habits of carefulness in handling lire, monumental losses will go on." President Wilson's proclamation concerning Fire Prevention day is as fol lows: "Whereas, the 'destruction by fires in the United States involves an annual loss of life of 15,000 men, women, and children and over $250,000,000 in build ings, foodstuffs, and other created re sources, and, "Whereas, the need of the civilized world for American products to replace the ravages of the great war is espe cially great at this time, and, "Whereas, the present serious short age of home and business structures makes the daily destruction of build ings by fire an especially serious mat' ter, and, "Whereas, a large percentage of fires causing the annual American fire waste may be easily prevented by increased care and vigilance on the part of the citizens: "Therefore, Woodrow Wilson, pres ident of the United States, do urge upon the governors of the various states to designate and set apart Saturday, Oct. 9, 1920, as fire prevention day and to request the citizens of their states to plan for that day such instructive and educational exercises as shall bring be fore the people the serious and unhappy effects of the present unnecessary fire waste, and the need of their individual and collective efforts in conserving the natural and created resources of America.

"In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United. States to be affixed. "Done in the District of Columbia, this seventh day of September, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty, and of the inde pendence of the United States, the one hundred and forty-fifth. "WOODROW WILSON." FARM BUREAU BOARD TO HOLD MEETING SATURDAY Recommendations on the standardiza tion of Yellowstone county potato wheat, corn, and barley crops are ex pected when the executive committee of the Yellowstone County Farm bureau meets Saturday afternoon in the county agent's office at the courthouse. The farm bureau has conducted ex perimentations in the growing of various varieties of all these crops, and the recommendations the committee make will be in time to guide farmers in the selection of their seed for the fall planting.

The committee also is expected to take up the advisability of organizing a hay growers' association in this county to aid in the movement of the several thousand tons of surplus hay in this county. The farm bureau has made an extensive study of the form and func tions of such organizations. It vs probable that the committee will indorse a plan to hold a number of community fairs throughout the county pryor to the Midland Empire fair next year, and, through the agency of the bureau, select from the best exhibits in these fairs a prize-winning county ex hibit to be displayed at the state fair and the Midland Empire fair. This plan is being advocated by County Agent H. S.
