WEEKLY WEATHER REPORT

Cool, showery weather prevailed
the week ending Saturday,
July Bird, with light to gentle north
west winds and an average deficiency
in the daily mean temperature of 9 de-
grees, as compared with the normal.
The highest temperature was 76 de-
grees on Tuesday, June Goth, and the
lowest was 80 degrees on Monday,
28th, making a weekly range in tenn
perature of 80 degrees. There was a
heavy frost Monda ymorning in

a heavy dew deposit also in Milk Riv-
er Valley. The total rainfall for the
week was OBJ inches which is slightly
above the normal for this perod.
Thunderstorms occurred on June 29th

partly cloudy and 2 cloudy days.
The weather throughout the week
was i~nterspersed with plenty of sun
shine and was generally favorable fol
a continuation of the excellent out
look for a bounteous crop. A perioc
of dry warm weather now is needed
and would be very beneficial.-C. w

Questions for Discussion
Among the questions that are prov
ing the most profitable for discussion
are: Transportation of Pupils.
What size of School District is Most
Eficient?" "How can a More Equit-
able Basis of Taxation be Secured ?"
How can a Good Teacher be Secur-
ed and Retained What is the Most
Satisfactory Way Of Caring for the
Janitor Work." "When Should High
School Courses be Provded?" "Man-

COUNTY TRUSTEE ASSOCIATION
C.. w, Tenney

Among the many good things plan
ned by Superintendent H. A. Davee,
and the county superintendent for the
betterment Of Montana schools the
movement to effect a regular and per-
manent organization of the school
trustees and clerks in each and every
county in the state promises to be one
of the most helpful. Heretofore a
number of meetings of trustees have
been held in connection with institutes,
county fairs, etc., but nothing of a
permanent nature resulted. The plan
suggested by Superintendent Davee
provides for an organization that
stands on its own merits and not as
a side show to some other meeting.
As such, it is appealing to the trus-
tees in such a way that it will be but
a question of a short time until every
county in the state will be organized
Though the constitution can be made
to suit the needs of each county, a
simple form, providing for the usual
offices and an executive committee OF
five members that leaves both the rec
tape and the detail to be worked out
in the bylaws where they really be-
long, is providing to be the most sat
~isfactory.
Plan for Meetings
The annual meeting is called at tn
county seat, where a one-day session
is held with the county superintendent
and the local board acting as hosts
Opportunity is given each district t.
bring up and discuss the questions tina
most vitality concern it, and the day
work is concluded with a dinner wher
each man cares for the expense of hi
own plate. in order that no fnancia
liability be incurred. Then othe
meetings for other parts of the coun
ty are planned from time to time
order to give the men from the coun
ty seat a chance to return the call an
to prove that where the heart is right
it is no farther from the county sea
to the most remote part of the count

FORD INvENTS MOTOR TRACTO1

FORD INvENTS MOTOR TRACTOR
Detroit. June 29.-After more than
80 years of toll, Henry Ford, has an
nounced that he has perfected a mot
or tractor that will give the high cost
of living its hardest blow yet.
"a tractor has been my ideal fer
many years." said Mr.. Ford. II have
worked at it constantly. It is now
ready and it means much"
The inventor claims the new farm
implement will reduce the tilling of
the soil at least a third of the present
cost, will keep young men on the
farms who will produce a greater
amount of food, give work to $4,000
men and will mean a boom in lake
shipping.
Mr.. Ford plans to build 1000, OOO
tractors and 1900. 900 engines yearly
He says that operation on the build
ings will start at once and he expects
to employ about 10000 men when op-
erations begin. The tractors will sell
for 5000 or less.

LETTER

July &, AOAo'
President Wilson is enjoying his
short vacation in New Hampshire. A
daily round of golf is n of the
Presidents favorite pastimes and, as
a rule, a long automobile ride is taken.
On the first day of his stay at Cornish
a fifty mile motor ride was INDUCED
in during the course of which the
chauffeur lost his way on several &C.
c~asions and the president himself got
out at farm houses to inquire as to
the proper road to take.
Hon. John Burke, Treasurer of the
United States, formerly governor of
the State of North Dakota, left Wash
ington Tuesday for San Francisco to
superintend the counting of the mon
ey at the mint. This will take about
three weeks to accomplish. The Trea-
surer will take in the Panama. Pacific
Exposition before his return.
The United States has just COM
pleted the purchase of 10000 acres of
land at Tobyhanna, Penn, to be used
as an artillery range. Similar ranges
will eventually be established in the
south and on the Pacific coast.
Because of the large orders for am
munitions of war which have been
placed with many American manufac-
~turers, they have made very tempting
offers, to army and navy officers, who
are familiar with such affairs; this has
caused some officers to desire to resign
and take these positions. The govern
ment legal experts are now bus,
looking up the law to see If there Il
not some statute which would prevent
officers fro mresigning.
The government has now adopted
the plan of notifying the German au
thorities of the date of sailing of al
American vessels so as to prevent
repetition of the attacks by German
submarines upon such ships.

PAYING HOMAGE TO
THE POSTAGE STAMP

The civilized world today pays hon.
age to the postage stamp, the little
friend of humanity, on its 18th birth
day. Not since the days of the dis
covery of printing had there come to
human beings such a boon as was
launched in England on May 6, 1910,
when the first postage stamps were
used. That date in history marked
the beginning of popular communica-
ton, placing within the reach Of the
poorest peasant, the means of writing
to relatives and friends. It put the
people of the world into closer touch,
it encouraged the art Of writing as
no other agency had done. But great
est of all, it spread civilization.
It was in 1910 that Rowland Hill,
an English schoolmaster, stirred all
Europe to laughter by declaring that
James Chalmers and himself had de-
vised a system whereby a two-sheet
letter could be sent from London to
Edinburgh for 2 cents and yet leave
the government a fair profit on the
transaction. At that time the fee was
81 cents for that distance for a two
sheet letter. Such an idea seemed RI
diculous to the public, which had look
ed upon the sending of communities
tions as an expensive luxury. And
so the joke went around, and the poor
laughed with the others at the idea
Of any means that would place them
on a par with the aristocracy.
Hill persisted despite the ridicule'
He worked diligently on his schedule.
and when the time "a ripe he flash
ed the system on parliament and the
public. Hill offered proof that was
incontravertible that the actual cost
to the government for carrying each
letter averaged only a small fraction
of a cent. He proved that the ex.
pense of hiring men to figure out pos.
tai rates on the system then existing
based on distance and the number OF
sheets, was greater than the profit
gained, and he urged the adoption Of
a fiat rate for all letters under a GER
tain weight, no matter how short OF
long a journey they were to make. HI
originated the idea of FASTING a labe
on every letter, to show that the cos
had been prepaid. to the government
and he pointed out that this woult
save the expense and time of collect
ing at point of delivery, which custom
was then in general use.
The postage stamp came into S il
the United States in 1847, seven year.
after Great Britain had adopted it
Five and 1O-cent stamps were the frs
American postage stamps, and the.
carried the heads of Franklin ant
Washington. Four years later the let
ter rate was lowered to 3 cents, AM
in 1883 to 2 cents. Before the post
age stamp was adopted, the posta
charges were more moderate in tn
United States than in England. Gu
Frates were 6 cents for 80 miles or less
1917 cents up to $50 miles; Is g.
cents up to 400 miles, and Is cents TO
every distance w that.
Hill, the discoverer of postag
stamps, was knighted and received
gift of $4,000, raised by public sub
scription.-From Detroit Journal, Ma
