The drop in the price of sugar is
a practical testimonial to the new

Democratic party does not expect
by statute to regulate sunshine and

boosted prices whether the crops
were scarce or bountiful. And the

The rapid rate of development in
this state is attested by the livestock
that is being shipped in, -tenths
of it by settlers. During April more
than $780, 900 worth was shipped in,
and as much more during March. If
this rate is maintained it will bring
the total importations for the year to

According to the figures of State
Veterinarian W. j. Butler, last
month there were $40 importations,
when a total of 1851 head of horses,
5,727 head of cattle and 1902 hogs were
brought in. In March the importa-

Montanans Respond Loyalty.

The sale of the Montana Souvenir
coins throughout the state on the i'll
itial day Of disposing of the dollars,
was far beyond the most sanguine ex-
pectations of the members Of the
Montana Exposition commission.
Last Saturday was declared Montana
Dollar day by proclaim ltion issued
by the governor and an extra effort
was made to make that banner day
throughout the state. TO say it was
a success is putting it mildly. ON
that day alone it is estimated that
10 600 of the coins, or one-hAlf OF the
entire amount of coins ordered, were
disposed of, and it now looks as
though the Montana building at San
Francisco was au assured fact. J,he
| people of Montana responded in their
customary loyal manner to the call
for assistance, and from now on the
public spirited citizen will be known
by the Exposition Dollar he carries
in his pocket
Since the sale of the coins began
the office OF Frank UaZelb%ker at
Dillon, who is secretary for the COM
mission, has been sWumped with new
orders for more coins and on Satur-
day long distance calls, kilograms and
letters were received urging that theil
supply be replenished by return mail
Among tile most urgent calls were
those from Roundup, Savage, Arm
stead, Devon, Malta, llobson, Wis
dom, Monida, Whitehall, and a mum
Der of others.
The management of the big fair at
San Francisco have thought so vel
of the Montana scheme of raising
money, they have constantly been il
touch with the Montana commission
ers in regard to the sale of coins, an(
will suggest it to other states where
the legislatures have made no proyis
ions for the erection of state buildings
at the fair.
Those who are living in remote dis
tricts where they are not able to bu,
the coins can receive the same b,

Selection of Seed Potatoes.

In selecting potato tubers for seed
purposes the grower should keep in
mind the following we'll KNOWN prin-
ciples:
Select seed true to variety and type.
Avoid abnormally elongated and
tapering tubers as they are degener-
ated or run out and will produce only
low yields.
Asa general practice discard the
small tubers for seed purposes, as
they were obtained largely from poor
hills. Small tubers produced by
high yielding hills, however, are
preferable to larger tubers from poor
hills.
If you are dependent upon bin
selection, use tubers weighing at
least five ounces for seed and you
will find that this will eliminate a
large percentage of the inferior
strains.
PLANT hills with one seed piece and
during summer mark the most Wig.
orous hills with stakes and save
the tubers that yield best and are
truest to type for next seasons seed
plot
If hill selection is carefully carried
out, there will be little, if amy, need
for change of seed. There are records
Of several growers who have main-
tanned their yield for long periods by
careful selection.
If your seed stock has been run out
by improper selection, purchase new
seed true to variety aud type from a
reliable grower or scotsman.
Stick to the standard varieties that
have been proved by trial successful
in your locality and avoid or test
only in a small way the new or little
known sorts.-Richard Wellington,
University Farm, st. Paul.

HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Some of the Noted School
houses Of Philadelphia.
Franklin D. Edmunds Unearths 2
Wealth Of Information on the Part
These Structures Took In His
tory Of United States.

Boston.-When careless school chill
buildings they never stop to think OF
the historic memories that Turk around
the place.
The mere fact that they have been
~remodeled does not destroy their old
time charm nor ruin the realization
that many were erected in the eight
eenth century. William Penn had a
hand in some buildings, and others
equally interesting are to be found.
Franklin D. Edmunds. a school arch
itect and son Of Henry Edmunds.
president Of the board of education,
has unearthed q wealth of informa-
ton on local schoolhouses In Ameri-
can history.
Mr.. Edmunds, recognizing that there
was much to be discovered in this
fertile field and that all that had ever
been written about %schoolhouses had
been directed at the pedagogical and
political phases Of the city's educa-
tional development, went right at the
study Of the buildings themselves.
One building he found to be Of spe-
cial interest because it had been used
in revolutionary days as both church
and schoolhouse. The lowering
school at Ridge avenue and lowering
R~oxborough. 1t was erected In 1748
by William l.. lowering, who was to
distinguish himself as an officer in
the struggle for American %indepen-.
dence. 1t was for many years used
by both c%hurchgoers and pupils. On
Sunday the Baptists worshiped there
and on week days their children
studied on the long, hard benches.
This doubling of purposes was very
common in colonial days. Further
more. the lowering school vas used
as a meeting place for the %colonists
during the strenuous pre-revolutionary
discussions. The Roxborough inhabi-
tants met there to protest against
taxation without representation"
and subsequently to organize troops
to register their determination for
freedom.
In 1856 a hurricane took it away,
but the next year it was replaced by
a more modern structure. Roxbor-
ough kept growing, and the children
kept increasing in such numbers that
by 1894 more accommodations were
necessary, and the present house was
erected. lowering did not have his
named attached to the school, and it
was only in 1917 that "RoXborough"
was wiped off and william l.. Lever
ing placed owe the door.
The recent physical growth of Phila-
delphia is in no way better illustrated
than by the development of it's school
system. One of the best known ele-
mentary schools in the city is the

The Following, Taken From unwrltten

On the afternoon OF October II,

and Chestnut street was alive with
colonial damsels out in their new furs.
"Good-day, friend George" quoth
the dentist, as he finished polishing 9
long. wicked-looking spear and picked
up q cleaning crowbar.
What brings you downtown thus
early?" pursued Stradles, as he laid
down the crowbar and picked up an
eight-pound monkey wrench. Moth

And he put down the monkey wrench
and picked up q bone-handled iron

you say"

you here this beautiful day." said the
