Judd Bell got the contract and
IL at work painting the new board
IN house at the Experiment station
So great is the demand for har
vest hands that Supt. HaneY has
allowed the men working on the
Boarding house and the stone tow
er 2 weeks vacation to 90 to the
harvest field.
The 1st floor of the new board :
ing house is plastered and white
coated and carpenters are putting
in the doors and castings
Harvest commenced on Tuesday
over at the Experiment station,
and the different kind of grain is
grand; queer to say, some of the
beardless May wheat not yet ripe,
the ripest piece being from a pint
of seed brought from Japan; the
time of rIpening, size of beads e
lenght of straw being well demon
strated now that harvest has come.
So that it might be gathered
with care, and every kind kept sep
arate SO a careful record be kept,
in the test field Just south of our
town, where over a hundred kinds
of seed were planted, from 1 ounce
to bushel, every kind kept sepa-
rate and marked, Prot. Haney was
experimenting the cutting, where
it was a sWath or over wide. he
drove 4 horse binder, with an
outrider on front team to keep the
exact line, while men shocked IN
rows each kind. In the smaller &
short rows it was cut with SICKLE
OF cradle and each separately tied,
In the still smaller samples the
heads were cut and put in a proper
lY labeled gunny or paper sack.
His experiment with a big field
of Macaronl wheat shows it to be
a success IN this country. But this
was wet season and it must be
tired again for a dry season,
1t has been a grand and success
ful test, in a very favorable year,
of about every kind OF wheat ever
grown IN this country for many
years and his report on the result
will be published all over the q.
s. and read with great interest by
thousands and thousands of farm
ers everywhere.
The Board of Regents of the
State Agricultural college found
that Prof. Haney was a success,
as Superintendent of the Ft Hays
Experiment station has proven
success and have increased his sala
ry from $1,000 to $500 and gwen
him an assistant, Mr.. Filing ut a
salary of $50 month.
He gets a nice house rent free,
and a good team of roadsters to
drive in looking after his work.
Our citizens are much pleased
with his style of work and rejoice
at his success,
Prof. Lantz was also a success
as pararie dog eXterminator and
been employed another year.
His work has surely proven ben
eft to this county.

FLOWERS FOR GRADUATES
Bouquets Have Given Place to Large
Baskets That Express, Much

Z Spring. comes accompanied by the in
.evitable but nevertheless delightful COM
mencements and the "sweet girl gradu-
ate'' is queen of the land. It is to her
throne that many gifts and heaps Of
flowers find their way. The winter long
she has not lacked for flowers, for she has
followed the pretty fashion of carrying
and wearing them to social functions.
which her older sisters have revived. But
this commencement simply large bouquets
will not satisfy this imperious maid.
When flowers are carried to her on
commencement night they must be in a
large basket. These baskets differ very
much in both shape and size. This gives
an opportunity for one to show his in
-dividual taste or to pay a delicate COM
pliment by selecting one which would be
her preference. The showiest and per-
haps the prettiest are those which are
rather tall and have high handles. A
large bow of wide ribbon always appears
on this handle. When the flowers are
arranged in this way the whole effect is
sure to be artistic and highly gratifying.

CITY NEW
TO SHOW MOREGREEN
City Adopts Policy Of Wider Boul-
evard Strips and Narrower
Roadways.
The Plan Not Only Promotes Econ
omy, but Adds to
d. Beauty.

S. Minneapolis is about to inaugurate a
general plan for a reduction in the width
of the roadways of the city. A begin
ming has been made on Park avenue and
on Fifth street southeast and Tenth ave-
nue. southeast. The former will be mar
rowed by ordinance from Sc to SO feet,
and when the paving work is begun, the
curbs will be moved in to comply with
the law. The East Side streets mentioned
have been narrowed from 40 feet-which,
by the way, is the average width of the
roadways in the residence districts-down
to so feet, which is the proposed standard
width
The. various advantages Of this move
ment are important. In the first place,
it will enhance the beauty of the, street,
as it will give from eight to twenty feet
additional width for "boulevarding.' This
is. a feature which the citizens are be-
ginning to appreciate more thoroly as their
ideas on civic adornment advance. AL
the streets in the residence districts will
some day be practically parkways, and the
giving of additional space for boulevards
will hasten this end.
AS question of economy, the reduction
of the width of the roads is Of paramount
interest to the taxpayers. 1t will greatly
reduce the cost Of paving and materially
| reduce the expense of general mainte-
nance and sprinkling. On Park avenue,
| the narrowing of the roadway means a
SeiVlllS VI ~ per cent on TIE cost
of the new paving. and those who will be
called upon to pay several hundred dollars
! for the improvement will, in all proba-
! bility, appreciate a 40 per cent discount
| City Engineer Andrew Rinker, when
asked if he considered 80 feet sufficient
for a driveway in the more thickly settled
parts Of the city. said that it was ample,
and any one could easily satisfy himself
on this point by observation.
| During a recent visit to Chicago" said
Mr.. Rinker, Il was struck by the width
of North State street. which, as you know,
is not only a fashionable street. but one
of the main approaches to Lincoln park.
I measured and found that 1t was only
80 feet wide. That is ample for any street
| in Minneapolis. Should it ever be turned
over to business, it is a simple matter
| to reset the curbs again farther apart
This statement tallies exactly with some
observations recently made on Portland
avenue by E. J. Phelps who used the data
in the agitation for narrowing the Park
avenue roadway. He measured from out
side to outside of the wheel tracks or
Portland avenue and found that all the
4 traffic on that prominent thorofare ha6
used a space only 81 feet in width.
1 Hereafter, when any new paving work
is undertaken or, new curb Is ordered
i the width Of the street will be narrowed
and it is possible that there will be a gen.
leral ordinance re-establishing the widths
LOT all the streets in the city.

The Great Northern will spend about

cut off, less than 100 miles long, simply to
do away with some bad grades. The new
line will start at Columbia Falls, fifteen
miles east of Kalispell, and will
extend westerly to point
few miles north Of Jennings. The
route will have little advantage over the
old in distance. The construction Of the
new lines will make Kalispell a station on
a branch line, while at present it is an i'm
portant division point on the main line.
But there is a branch line from Kalispell
to Somers on Flathead lake. and there has
been talk of extending that branch around
the lake to connection with the Northern
Pacific at Jocko. If that projected line Is
.built Kalispell will be an important town

Omaha Dividends.


The high prices of materials and the I'M
settled condition of the labor market is
likely to affect dividends Of the Omaha.
It's annual meeting was held in Hudson
Saturday. Increased earnings had caused
the stockholders to hope for a larger
dividend than ordered last year, but in
creases in wages and other expenses de-
tered the directors from making the in
crease expected. Last year the Omaha
paid Z per cent on preferred and per cent
on common stock, which will undoubtedly
be the rate this year. During April the
company earned 1924, 008 as compared
with $S88, 642 for the same month last year,
an increase of i$55,366.
