Information comes from the county Red Cross headquarters here advising that the follow­ing points in Roosevelt county will be distributing points for the stock feed which has been turned over to the Red Cross for distri­bution: Froid, McCabe, Rainville, Culbertson, Brockton, Poplar and Wolf Point.

One carload of feed has been re­leased for each of these points and should arrive within a week. This feed is in the form of ground wheat and comes sacked in one hundred pound burlap sacks. The first carloads to arrive will neces­sarily be of small capacity, and, in order that all may get a portion,

School District 45And Citv Elections

Last week’s question was: What are the qualifications required of voters at city elections? School district elections (for trustees)? General elections (state and nat­ional officials)? (Value, ten points.)

The following answers are taken from the election laws of the State of Montana.

H. C. is decidedly enthusiastic over the new car and hopes to re­ceive a shipment at an early date.

Interest in the local elections , The advertising on the new line is hard to discover but such as has not been received by the week- thero is centers on the school dis-. lies but it is said the price spread trict election, Saturday. A. T. Lis- i between the fours and the sixes tug for mayor and Councilmen Al- ; is only $50 and that the fours have rick. Heinze and Maltby and Char-, been slightly reduced. Mr. Ditmar- les Gordon for police magistrate, son claims the new eight has about have the city ballot all to them-1 everything the other 1932 eights selves. If any opposition develops J have plus low price and gasoline it must be with written-in names 1

Getting the gopher before he raises a family has long been rec­ognized as the key-note in gopher control. Killing the gopher early means maximum results for the expense and effort expended. With county mixed gopher poison now available at every town in the county the control of gophers should start at once on every farm.

Poison sold by Roosevelt county has been prepared this year with more than the usual care. The best Montana oats available were pur­chased last fall and were used for the 1932 poison. Mixing was done by experienced operators and has been done according to the instruct­ions of the U. S. Bureau of Rodent Control.

Purchasers of county poison will find that larger bags than usual are available this year at the stan­dard price of $1.00 due to the low­er cost of material.

Gopher poison is now on sale at the Monarch Lumber Co. Wolf Point; Equity Elevator at Poplar; Monarch Lumber Co. Brockton; Farmers Elevator at McCabe; H. A. McCracken, Bainville, and the County Extension office at Cul­bertson.

Three or four such gatherings are held each year and this will be the tenth meeting of its kind to take place since the organiza­tion became established in Roose­velt county in the summer of 1929. Because of the growth and the organization as well as the vital discussions brought upon the floor both by delegates and visiting speakers, these county meetings have from time to time shown a gradual increase in attendance and have during the year past been very largely attended by farmers and business men from all over the county.

J. Tl Kelly, state president of the Farmers Union in Montana, will be the principal speaker at the coming convention at Bainville. He not only has a message of vital interest and importance to every­one, but will present plana for im­mediate united action on the part of the membership for upholding and promoting the Farmers Union program. Mr. Kelly has been pres­ent at three former conventions and those who were present at any of these meetings will appre­ciate and welcome this opportunity of hearing him now, in a discussion of present day topics that have an important bearing upon agriculture and our nation as a whole.

As is the usual custom, Farmers Union delegates will meet in the forenoon at 10 o’clock in business session. The afternoon will be de­voted to speaking and other enter­tainment, the program to start at 1:30. Everyone is cordially invited to be present in the afternoon. The committee hopes to have the privilege of welcoming another large attendance and assures you that you will feel your time well spent.
