Friction Matches.

Friction matches are comparative
ly modern invention. They were first
made by John Walker In England in
1927. but were rather crude affairs.
He improved them somewhat in 1893
by using phosphorus. The first really
practical friction match was made In
the United States In 1886 by L. @. Al
len Of Springfield. Mass. Before this
time clumsy form of match was Inn
ported from France, which had to be
dipped into bottle of sulphuric acid
before 1t could be lighted. This took
great deal Of time and trouble, and
Allen, seeing the necessity for friction
matches, set about to make them and
succeeded. He neglected to patent
them, however, and on finally apply
ing for letters patent found that a
man named Alonzo Phillips, who was
a peddler, had discovered through a
third person the secret of making the
matches and had already obtained a
patent Thus Allen, though the real
inventor. was forced to become mere
manufactures under another mans pat

fly will lay her eggs and bring forth
AZ abundant brood Of young flies in a
very few days. In order to prevent
this the Matching places must be elm
mated, not once month, but every
day.
Remember that there is abundant
organic material in the average can
from which vegetables or fruits have
been removed to furnish a Matching
place for many flies; therefore see
that tin cans from which food mater
ials have been removed are burned be-
fore they are placed where flies can
secure access to nhem, or better yet,
see that they are promptly removed to
the dump grounds.
Constant cleanliness will reduce the
flies to a surprising extent. Spasmodic
cleaning will have little or no effect
on the prevalence of flies. Individual
cleanliness is essential in all things.
but community cleanliness is required
in the fight against the fly.
By fighting the fly you are not only
preventing typhoid fever, but you are
preventing many other diseases. The
fly can carry the germ Of every known
disease on his feet. All the fly asks is
source Of Infection and he will do
she rest.

Land Agent Whipple accompanied
Senator McCone down.
At Fairview were the principal
"doings'' Of the day. The Glendive
contingent arrived something after
IL o'clock. A barbecue had been
prepared for the great crowd, con-
sisting of a roast OK and other ac-
cessories. In the afternoon Messrs.
Norris, Yoder and Whipple made
short talks as we'll as other local
speakers. There were also foot
races, horse races, and a ladies
baseball game. The people were
surely jubilant that the long fought
question was so near final settle

as 5000 people were assembled at
Fairview.
Besides the autos from Glendive,
there were many from Savage. Sid

Notable Production Coming Here

THE Girl From Rector's, which
had run of over three hundred nights
at Weber,s Music Hall, New York,
will be seen in this city at Glendive
Opera House for limited engagement
OF one night, Saturday, June 3rd.
Paul M. Potter is the author of the
work, and despite the fact his past
has been identified with plays of a SER
lous nature, he hit upon a vein of hu-
NOR in 10The Girl,' which astonished
even his most ardent admirers. 1t is a
long step from a play of the nature of
'Trilby," of which he was the author,
to an offering like that of his latest
creation. The New York critics declare
that he has made name for himself
in the field of comedy which will sur
vive his former reputation. There ism t
a dull line throughout SThe Girl From
Rector s. and not a situation that
cannot be understood and appreciated
by anyone. The success Of the piece
may be judged from the fact that its
earning capacity at Weber 5 was many
times greater than that of the same
house when Weber & Fields, offerings
there were the sole topic Of New
York S theatregoing public

INSTRUCTIONS FOR
SEEDING ALFALFA

Alfalfa should be put on land that
has been we'll prepared and which has
been in either corn or potatoes or 9th
er cultivated crop the year before. It
should also have received a good coat
Of manure a year or two ago. A top
dressing Of we'll rotted manure will
help at any time. The seed bed should
be good and firm with about an inch
to an inch and half OF soil mulch ON
the surface. The alfalfa should be
sown between the 3oth., Of May and
first of June at the rate Of 10 to i
lbs. per acre. The best way to seed al
falfa is with grass seed attachment
on the ordinary grain drill. The grass
seed attachment should have spouts
that would deliver the alfalfa into the
discs or shoes of the drill. At the same
time the drill is seeding the alfalfa
about 100 lbs., Of alfalfa soil should
be sowed per acre with the drill; the
soil to be put in where wheat Or oats
would be seeded.
Alfalfa should not be soWn morf

occasion in a fitting manner. The
splendid hospitality of the FairvieW-
ties was certainly appreciated by all
the visitors.
The return to GlendiVe was made
without serious mishap, and all ar
rived home in good time last even
ing. Minor accidents occurred to
many autos, but these were quickly
remedied.
1t may be remarked in passing
that the upper part of the Valley at
the present time seems several
weeks ahead Of the lower as regards
crop conditions, moisture, seeding,
etc. However all the residents are
enthusiastic over the crop prospects.
Those who had never visited the vals
ley before were certainly enthusias-
tic over,its wonderful possibilities.
The weather, while a trifle warm
IN the afternoon, could hardy have

renee of such an auspiciOus event. T.

than Ii inches deep and an inch is PRO
badly better. If it can be PUT in just
SO as to get into the moist soil without
getting more than an inch deep II is
best.
The weeds should be destroyed be-
fore seeding, by thorough narrowing
Of the ground. IF weeds bother during
the summer time they should be clipped
with a mower whose bar is set high
enough SO as to run over the alfalfa
plants. Should the alfalfa turn yellow
it is usually we'll to cut it Immediately.
Alfalfa should never be on ground
that is so low that there is any chance
Of water standing upon it in spring
and it should not be soWn on ground
whose permanent water table IS closer
than 3 feet to the surface Of the ground.
Low, cold, bottom land will not raise
a good crop of alfalfa. A rich, well
drained clay loan with clay subsoil
will produce the best stands of alfalfa.
On some soils an application of lime
will be very beneficial. Under no cir
cumstances should alfalfa be sown on
poorly prepared or Weedy ground nor
on land that has a poorly prepared seed
bed. Alfalfa sown on spring plowing
will usually be failure because the
land is too loose

Third Unit To Be Opened

On June % at noon, the third unit of
the shoshone project in Wyoming will
be opened to settlers. This unit which
is adjacent to the town of Ralston
contains some Of the choicest land on
the project.
The successful entrymen will secure
farms IN country which is already
occupied by prosperous farmers with
the advantages of good roads, rail-
roads, telephones, rural delivery,
schools and churches. No real pioneer
ing IS required to establish a home
here. Water is now ready for the land.
The shoshone project lies in a re-
gion Of great scenic beauty with de-
Eghtful and hea1thful climate and a

TYPHOID FEVER AND FLIES

A large per cent of all cases of Ty-
phoid Fever that occur in Montana be-
tween now and the first of September
will be due to fly Infection. That IS,
the disease germs will reach those
who become infected by flies transmit
ting them OH their feet from sources
of infection to the food.
Now is the time to fight the fly.
See that your windows and doors are
screened securely. This will keep most
of the flies out of your house. But even
with the most careful screening, some
flies will invariably find their way into
the house and come in contact with
your food. Naturally if the number Of
flies be reduced there will be less IL
ability of their getting into your house,
therefore, do your part iE reducing
their number by doing away with
places where they breed.
Horse manure is the favorite breed
ing and Matching place for flies. Do
not permit this breeding ground to ex-
ist on your premises. If you do not
have enough manure to justify hauling
it away daily, provide fy-proof box
IN which to keep the manure. Such a
box is easily made from large dry
goods box provided with spring door
IN one side or end. This door is made
by cutting out square piece from
the end of the box and attaching ar
ordinary spring hinge at the lower
side, so that when a shovelful of ma
nufe is pressed against the door it viii
spring shut again. The bottom Of the
boX is removed SO that the manure rest:
Oh the grouud, and when the box i.
1ull it is lifted off and the manure i.
more easily shoveled into the wago1
than would be the case if it were
paced N completely closed box.
Manure is not the only place whert
nles breed and hatch. Any organic ma
VefiaI will furnish suitable Matching
pace Therefore see that your garbag,
cans are we'll covered or screened
against flies. See that every particl
= organic matter is removed from
your yards. Do not throw table refus
