GOOD FARM CENSUS WANTED
Commissioner Hall Urges Farmers to Give
Accurate Returns to Enumerat0rs.

Accurate Returns to EnumeratOrs.
In connection with the efforts Of
Director Durand of the United States
census bureau. to the end that COM
petent and believable farm census
may be taken next summer } II. Hall,
commissioner of the state bureau
of agriculture, -labor, Industry and
publicity has sent out Il circular. Il
copy of which will be found be-
low.
81 am impressed with the idea. -
says Commissioner Hall, "that too
much preparation cannot be made Ivy
the farmers of the state with Il view
of giving accurate returns to en,lmer-
ators, for as stated in the circular, l
have a firm conviction that if an accu-
rate census be taken in Montana this
state will stand at the head of the
column inch by inch for every piece
of cultivated land within it's borders,
and the fact that census figures stand
as authority for decade. will give
Montana a standing which is bound
to prove invaluabln to her advance
ment.' The circular reads as fol
lows:
81 have received a circular from
Director Durand of the United states
census bureau. in which he makes an
appeal to all farmers organizations,
commissioners of agriculture, etc. to
take personal interest in the forth
coming census to the end that the re-
suits will reflect an accurate, prac-
teal condition of farm wealth rather
than an imperfect, misleading state
ment which is sure to result, except
more than ordinary care is taken by
all concerned. and particularly by the
farmers themselves in their report to
the census taker who will he along in
the spring.
In the case of the state of Mon
tana it is particularly desirable that
every farmer give especial care to
making up the returns of the products
OF his fields. his livestock and all
other resources of income. because it
is well known by those in close touch
with the facts that in this state true
inventory Of the farms. their yield
and output from all sources, is great
er than in any -Other state in the
Union and pays IL larger interest on
the investment. If the real facts can
be made apparent in the forthcoming
18th census, there is perhaps nothing
that will serve more definite pur-
pose in the advancement of land
values of farms, or induce Il more
spirited movement from the farms of

Adams street is the inventor and
has been granted a patent by the
United States patent office on Oc-
tober l. on an improved flue point
or joint between the flue and the

prevent all leaking Of the flues

man on the locomotive that drew

Coleman says his flue point joint
will never leak and the flues, If
ever destroyed in q locomotive
after II leaves the shops, will be
destroyed by other causes than the
leaking of the points. The leaking
of the flues Of a locomotive Is one
of the worst weaknesses in rail-

motives will hardly run three
months before they begin to leak
in the firebox end of the flues.
After that 1t requires from So to

keep them from leaking so badly
as to put the locomotives out of

MAN CRAZY FOR CANDY

HILLSBORO, N. D., Oct. 15.-
Because of his peculiar actions,
James Parker Of Garden City,
Mimi, was arrested here and
taken before the board of insan-
ity. After thorough examine
ton he was discharged, the EVIL
dence produced being insufficient
to commit him to an asylum.
Parker had a mania for sweets
and seemed to live on candy. He
wanted to buy candy in hard
ware store and. according to his
own story, had breakfasted and
dined on candy. He was ragged
and dirty, but displayed checks
to the amount of over 500 re-
ceived from former employers.

LOCAL MAN LNVENTS SAVING
DEVICE FOR LOCOMOTIVES

At the end of 10 to- 1S months
new set Of flues Is required. To
put in a new set of flues or to re-
point the old ones costs from
$1,000 to $500 per set. But there
are other serious losses to rail-
roads caused directly by leaky
flues. Probably. one-tenth of all
locomotives in use at the present
time are more or less tied up all
the time on account of leaky flues
or by reason Of these flues being
repaired. Trains are delayed. the
equipment Is rendered inefficient
and tn oprating expenses are in
creased. Probably the items con-
servatiyely estimated are fully
equal to 10 per cent of the present
earning capacity of the locomo-
tives. A locomotive earns on an
average $4,000 per annum, and
the installation of the Coleman
never-leak flue point will therefore
increase this earning capacity by
about $4,000 per year.
