Nellie nowdle Dead.

Hedges Herald: On Friday MORN
ing last the sad news spread ON the
streets that Nellie Howdle had died
suddenly at Belt. She left here last
Sunday, apparently in good health, for
visit ut Belt aud Great Falls. The
news came by telegraph to her brother.
Frank, who left ON delayed No. "a the
same night. There was nothing in
the telegram, received by her brother,
stating the cause Of death, but it was
learned later that death was due to
heart failure.
Nellie Howdle was born ut Living
ston, Wis, y years ago. In 1902 she
removed, with her parents, to Parker,
5. d., at which place she resided un-
til she came to Montana to visit her
brother, Frank, last July. She filed
on Il homestead, adjoining that of her
brothers, shortly after arriving here.
Her sudden demise is quite shock
to her many friends in this vicinity.
She was regarded as being very ro-
bust and was also quite athletic and
fond of outdoor exercise.
The remains were taken to her old
home at Parker, s. d., for burial.
The Herald joins with host Of
friends in extending to her bereavetl
brother and parents their heartfelt
sympathy in their sorrow.

Why would it not be better to grow
grain on them? For the reason that
these lands will not grow grain. ill.,
definitely, without impairing fertility
1t the grain thus grown is sold from
year to year. The feeding of the
coarse grain to live stock will sell it
at a higher price in the end than if it
were sold directly. But for few
years ut the first it is not 80 necessary
to grow live stock. The introduction
of the same onto the bench land

$l3,7s0 JUDGMENT AWARDED.

We reproduce below the story Of a
law suit that may prove interesting
to many Of our readers who have
read some of the extravagant claims
Of the catalogue houses. If the in
cident referred to is Il criterion of the
reliability thereof we wonder what
the end will be.
Sears, Roebuck & Co.. the Chicago
mail order house, has been ordered
by the courts to pay damages of
$13, $50 to Charles \. Stickney 4 Co.,
st. Paul. Mimi. manufacturers of
gasoline engines.
1t is the result of Il suit in which it
was shown that Sears, ROebuck 4
Go. had fraudulently listed gasoline
engines in their catalogues at high
er horse power than the engines
possessed.
In the first trial Judgment was
given against Sears, Roebuck Il Co.,
for s1o,0o0. An appeal was taken and
new trial granted on technical
grounds, but the second award was
even higher than the first-s13, $50.
1t was shown in court that Sears.
Roebuck Il Co. had tried to involve
Stickney 4 co. in wrong-doing by
asking them to make the same fraudu-
lent claims Of horse power in the
Stickney catalogue. This they did
not succeed in doing.
It was shown in court that Sears,
Roebuck & Co. listed a and one
half horse power engine in their "Big
Book as "a ; horse power engine, one
of and one half horse power as IA
horse power engine, one Of ) horse
power as 9 horse power engine and
so nall along the line. 1t is estimat.
ed that Sears. Roebuck II Co. made
from SIS to $50 additional on each en-
CINE by means of the higher rated
horse power.
1t is IN easy matter for dealers to
advertise that they sell machines
cheaper than other dealers, but when
1t is shown in court, as in this ease,
that the engines are not of the capa-
city advertised, it is wise for people
who send their money to catalogue
houses to know that they get what
they order before they crow over their
neighboIs that they are buying cheap
er than those who purchase from
manufacturers who allow the pur-
chaser to have the machine put in
and tested to see if it comes up to the
guarantee before he is compelled to
pay for it.
Is it not foolish as we'll as danger
Gus to patroniZe such mail order
houses where you send your money
in advance. and sensible to patronizp
your home merchants that help pay
yOurtaxes?
Your home merchant is Il necessity.
and is it not your duty to give him
your trade that he may stay with YOU?
Ills interests are your interests.

STATE BUSINESS MEN
 TURN DOWN VINCENT BILL

Hartford May 13.-As diplomatical- Iy as possible the directors and legis- lative committee of the State Business Mems Association turned down the so-called Vincent Public Utilities bill, yesterday at, their meeting in this city. Softening the fall. s. E. Vincent of Bridgeport and Senator Moses w, Manwaring of Bridgeport were added to the committee but at the same time George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill and L. E. Whiton of New London. with Ralph O. Welles were also added 10 the committee. The two first named had been outspoken in their opposition to the Vincent bill declaring 1t en- tirely inadequate. Nevertheless the Vincent bill had thereafter been strengthened by the Bridgeport Asso- citation by the inclusion of provisions for audit and publicity and to prevent stock watering.
 In one respect the Vincent bill was better than the measure advoeated ny

THE ROWLAND DRY GOODS co.

Chandler. despite the principle laid dow., in the New York Public Service law and the Interstate Commerce act would only give the public servics commissioner power to recommend rates while the Vincent bill conferred the power to make rates. But this power was much crippled by the ap- peal clause, which would relieve the corporations of the duty to obey tho commission upon the ground of finan.. cial inability. This repeal clause met with no favor.
 The directors of the State Associa- ton will meet in two weeks to hear the draft of the new bill. This draft will probably contain parts of the Vim cent bill and a bill offered by Mfr, Welles but the committee will un- doubtedly go back to the Inter-State Commerce act and the New York act, and perhaps to the bill recommended in 1909, by the State Commission. for much of the new measure.
