Reducing Bumps
On City Streets
Mogul Grader, Drawn By
Engine, Does Very
Good Work

The city streets and roadways
leading to town are being great
" iiy improved Il this week by the
use of Russell Mogul road
grader, drawn by Geo. Berns'
Reeves engine. T h 9 grader.
when properly handled, makes
a nicely rounded pike road, with
bitches on either side for drain
age. The city streets and roads
leading to the city from the
east and north have been in bad
condition this spring and the
bumps are being reduced in fine
shape, much to the Joy of drivers
of all sorts of vehicles, particu-
larly the autoists and motorcy-
Gle fiends.
The graders will be used on
the roadways in the n orth
country and east and south of
town this spring and summer
and it is hoped that they will
be the means Of stimulating a
spirit for better highways in
this section, Natural conditions
for splendid roads exist and a
little scientific work will do
wonders in the way of providing
roads that it will be a Joy to
travel over.

There is q little humor and a
great deal.of food for thought"
in the following, handed to the
Pioneer Press by a local citizen:
He gets up in the morning at
the alarm of a Con n e c ticut
clock, buttons his Chicago sus-
penders to a Detroit overalls,
washes his face with Cincinnati
soap in a Pennsylvania pan, sits
down to a Grand Rapids table,
eats Chicago meat and Minne-
apolis flour, cooked on a Saint
Louis stove. Then he puts a
New York bride on a Missouri
mule, fed on Iowa corn, and
plows with an Illinois plow.
When bed time comes he reads
from a Bible printed in Boston,
says prayer written in Jeru-
salem, craWls under a blanket
made in New Jersey, only to
be kept awake by a Montana
coyote--the only home product
on his place.

County Option in Hill

County Option in Hill
Few people seem aware of the
fact that Montana has a county
option law on its books. The
law was passed several years
ago, In a s2lrit Of, lexity we are
told, but since the temperance
wave commenced to spre a d
over the state it is probable that
it will be invoked in a number
of counties. A movement has
begun to make Hill county dry"
by the medium of t.his law.

Wallin Crofts, who has been
engaged in the contracting bust
ness at Browning for the past

taken Ill several weeks ago and
about a week ago went to the

Cut Bank, having been employ
ed on the Cut Bank Tribune as
foreman, when it was in charge

Tennis Fanatics Of
Cityill Great GIee
Have Erected Fine Court
Fronting on East
Main

The tennis bugs have broken
out of their cocoons after a long
dormant spell and are working
like ants in preparing a splendid
court, on the lots of r. L. Taft,
fronting t b e school grounds.

several men are now at work
leyeling off the plot and putting
it in shape for the court. The
grounds are b ing enclosed
with a woven wire fence at
tached to h G h posts. 1t is
planned also to have a croquet
ground inside this court and
there will be room for two ten
mis- courts inside the plot. r. l..
Taft and Frank VanDemark are
in charge of operations n d
they expect to have the work
completed about the last of the
present week.
The grounds are ideally situ-
ated and the tennis devotees ex-
pect to arouse great interest in
t he G a m 6 this year. They
will meet at the court Sunday
morning at 1890 to organize a
club and make plans for the
C 0 m j n 6 season. There are
crack tennis teams at Browning,

Browning

The children Of St. Michael's
Parish received their first COM
munion last Sunday and it was
a day of rejoicing. The wealth
er was all that could be desired
and the church was beautifully
decorated by the ladies of the
Altar Society. The attendance
was large.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. E. McCabe
and daughter stopped off be-
tween trains for a short visit, on
their way to the coast.
n Cut Finger school has been
moving toward Browning and
will soon be in service training
the minds of the young. We
cannot urge too strongly on pa
rents the necessity of taking
more interest in the education
of their children.
Reuben Black Boy has been
seeing strange light for some
time in the northwestern sky.
Better investigate it, Reuben,
and let us know what you find
out.
A bunch of checks has been
lost or stolen. They were is
sued by one Of the contracting
firms operating in the Two Med
icine district.
The sad news have reached
us from Spokane of the death Of
j. S. Galbreath, on April 18th.
The Reservation has lost one of
the best of men and the Indian
has lost a real friend. He was
always willing and ready to
help. His word was as good as
another mans bond.
We hope that the Park to Park
road. will soon be open to the
public and we want it to run
through Browning, as it will
materially help the town.

Will Give Sugar
Beet Seed Away
Great Falls Chamber Will
Try to Encourage
Industry

Working in cooperation with
farmers in the vicinity Of Great
Falls, the Commercial Club has
purchased five hundred pounds
of sugar beet seed which it will
distribute free to those interest
ed and who will follow the sug-
gestions of the club in planting
and raising the product. From
the success Of these expert
ments, tests will be made from
the sugar beetS raised and data
kept on the progress of the
plant. The large companies de-
sirous of erecting sugar fac
tory somewhere in this section
require sufficient interest arous-
ed among farmers and the plan
of raising about a fourth Of an
acre of sugar beets will give
sufficient idea of just what can
be accomplished in northern
Montana in the district adjacent
to Great Falls. County Agri-
,culturalist Blanchard has pre-
pared suggestions for planting,
cultivation and irrigation. Sec
retary A. 3. Breitenstein reports
the requests for beet seed very
numerous but a sufficient guam
tity left to take care Of many
Others.

ARCH STREET TRUCK GROWERS HEAR TALKS ON MARKETING

RURAL TELEPHONE FACILITIES ENLARGED FOR PULASKI
 COUNTY.

Curtis Stout, district manager of the Southwestern Telegraph < Tele- phone Company, announces that his company is now fully prepared to pro vide telephone service to farmers in Pulaski county. According to MT. Stout accommodations have been in- stalled in the telephone exchange to take care of 200 additional rural line telephone stations on the basis that from three to five subscribers will share each telephone line. MT. Stout is a great booster for telephone serv- ice on the farm. He claims that it is just as necessary for a farmer to have telephone as it is for any busi- ness house in the city to have one. In his judgment the modern farmer, in order to keep up with the march of progress, needs telephone service. He needs it to keep in touch with the current market prices for crop. it enables him to hold his crops until the highest prices are offered; keeps him in almost instant touch with his neighbors; provides fire alarm serv- ice, and guards against almost any emergency. A few years ago farn.- CT who had a telephone was consid- cred as one enjoying a great luxury. Today he is spoken of as one who is up-to-date.

bureau what quantities would be available for shipment to markets other than Little Rock. The business men will undertake to find market for these products.
 MT Kapp told of the great difficulty farmers everywhere have of selling the things they raise at profit, and said that the only relief to be had was by the farmers and business men cooperating. He told of an incident in the Southwest part of the state where the merchants of the town had obtained an agreement from some of the big sawmills in the community to buy the farmers products. such as potatoes and canned goods, in prefer ence to foreign goods that heretofore have been brought into the communi- ty in large quantities.
 Dr. Campbell explained how the Little Rock meat inspection regula- tions had raised the standard of meat offered for sale in the city, and made it possible for the farmer to get bet ter prices. Before there was in spection the man with a poor quality of meat came upon the market and of fered it at prices that the farmer who raised good meat could not afford to take, and thus kept prices down. Now only good meat can be sold and the buyers are willing to pay good prices
 Many questions were asked by the farmers in attendance and the meet ing proved profitable one. After the speaking there was a business session of the association.

FIFTY ACRES OF WHEAT AS FIX PERDIMENTAL CROP ON THE
 ESTES PLANTATION

One of the big cotton planters of Pulaski county who this year is grow ing other crops than the snowy sta pie is Dr. J. H. Estes, and he says that his neighbors in the Arkansas bottoms are planting more feed crops than they have done in the thirty years of his observations in this sec cotton acreage will run about 35 per cent on an average.
 Dr. Estes planted wheat as sub- stitute for cotton on about 50 acres He had never grown this crop before and is uncertain about the kind of soil that it is best adapted to. Wish ing to get a little experience in this line, he planted some of the grain on sandy land, some on buckshot land and some on his best alluvial soil. He. says it is all doing fine and that he will harvest a good crop next month if there is no setback. Should any thing happen to the wheat he will have plenty of time to plant cowpals or sorghum after the wheat is off. However, he is figuring on getting a good yield of whea,. If tue expert ment works out satisfactorily he will plant more wheat next year giving preference to the land that makes the best showing this year.
 More oats and corn are planted this year than ever before on the Estes All crops are up to a splendid stand and farm work is well
