BEWARE OF YOUR LIABILITY

Almost every state now has an en-
ployer's liability law. 1t may be ap-
piled to every farmer who hires one or
more helpers, outdoor or in. The law
may even apply to help engaged tenn
porarily by the day. In some states,
an employing farmer must post a
notice on his premises that he has
complied with the law. Whether it is
better and cheaper for the employer
to take his chances under whatever
system of direct liability and COIN
surance the law provides, or to insure
against this liability in some well-es-
tablished insurance company, is a
problem upon which opinions differ. 1t
depends a great deal upon the nature
of the law and how it is administered.
Any farmer in any state who is not
informed upon the law in his own state
should write to the department of
agriculture at it's state capital for a
copy of the present liability law and
the regulations for its enforcement.
In some states certain exemptions are
granted farmers employees which
may or may not be extended to house
hold help.

scrape it off, stretch the skin, scrape
both sides we'll and rub repeatedly
With lard or castor oil to make it pli
able.
Another way to remove hair or fur
from skin, is to soak from two to six
days, or until the hair slips readily, in
a mixture of 10 gallons cold soft
water, eight quarts slaked lime and
eight quarts hardwood ashes. This
makes good raw hide.
If it is desired further to tan the
skin apply a mixture Of two parts
powdered alum and one part table
salt to fieshy side of skin. Fold and
put it away for "a hours. Then make
a brine with the same mixture of salt
and alum and apply with brush, maxi
ing sure that every part of the skin
is reached.
Sprinkle a little bran over the skin.
Fold it up and after three days open
it out and hang it in a well-ventilated
room. The skin will then be hard
and can be softened with little water
and then stretched.

COWBOY ARTIST
GETS BIG ORDER
=. NJ. Russell TO PAINT PIC.
TURES OF WESTERN LIFE
FOR MILLIONAIRE.

Great Falls, May 25.-Announce-
ment has been made that Charles M.
Russell, the Great Falls artist has
received orders from Thomas E.
Cole of Duluth, for six oil pointings,
the average price Of which will be
$4,000 a subject. Mr.. Cole recently
passed through Great Falls from
Butte. Mr.. and Mrs. Russell met
him at Cascade, riding with him to
the city on the train, during which
time definite arrangements were
made for Mr.. Russell to paint two
subjects of Mr.. Coles selection and
four of his own.
The subjects selected by Mr.. Cole
include the incident of Sacajawea
meeting her brother, an Indian kins-
man near the source of the Missouri
during the Lewis and Clark expedi-
ton, and an event in the life of Wild
Bill hitchcock, a noted character of
western frontier life. Mr.. Russell
will draw upon his artistic talents
for the other subjects.
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell have recent.
ly returned from the east, where IL
paintings were sold and orders tax.
en- for six more oils, to be finished
any time between this date and Jan.
uary, 1918, according to word giver
out.
i Heretofore Russell's pictures have
been shown in New York and Chica
60, but this year they were exhibited
in Pittsburg, where several of tn,
paintings were sold. Among the pur
chasers in Pittsburg was the famou!
Du-Quesne club.
The last commission to paint 81,
subjects for the we'll known copper
magnate, added to other orders re
ceived, will keep the Great Falls ar
tist busy for many months to come
Mr.. Russell's rise from a cowbo,
in the Montana hills to the recog
nized peer of western artists make
it possible for him to draw thou
sands for one painting, where for
merly his salary was $50 month an
"chuck" for punching cows.

COUNTY EXHIBITS AT FAIR

Already twenty-five counties have
reserved space for their exhibits at
the Montana State Fair and Exposi-
tion this year. This breaks all pre-
vious records of reservations made
this early in the season, and indicates
that the number of counties which
will be represented at the fair with
exhibits this fall will exceed that Of
any previous year.
The list Of counties which already
have made appropriations to defray
the expense of state fair exhibit,
or the commissioners of which have
assured Secretary R. s. Skinner of
the presence of exhibits, are: Big
Horn, Blaine, Beaverhead, Broadwat-
er, Custer, Choteau, Cascade, Deer
Lodge, Fergus, Hill, jefferson, Lewis
and Clark, Madison, Musselshell
Meagher, Missoula, Park, Phillips,
Ravalli, Sheridan, Silver Bow, Sweet
Grass, Valley, and Yellowstone.
In addition to this list, assurances
have been received from Prairie and
Richland counties that they will have
exhibits at the fair. Although Sec
retary Skinner has received no word
from Gallatin county, he is in hopes
that it will have an exhibit this year.
1t dropped out last year for the first
time in many years.
Secretary Skinner is working with
the Commercial Clubs of the various
Montana towns wherever possible as
regards the matter of county exhi-
bits at the State Fair, and with ex-
cellent results. The Commercial club
boosters in every section of the state
recognize the advantages to be Sc
cured by having an exhibit from their
county at the state fair, and the ad-
vertising benefits derived from it.

NEW FRENCH ARMY HELMET

Sixty-four operations are necessary
in making one of the steel helmets
that the French soldiers wear. The
first step, says Pearson's Magazine,
is stamping out disks from great
sheets of steel. A machine that ex-
erts a pressure of one hundred and
fifty tons, and can cut out five thous-
and disks a day, does that work.
Each disk is placed under a shap-
ing machine, which presses the disk
into the form of helmet with broad
rim. Polishing and cutting machines
remove all irregularities in the he'll
met, after which holes are punched
in the crown-some for ventilation
purposes, others for fastening on the
regimental crest.
Each helmet is cleaned and dipped
in special mixture that makes it a
dull, inconspicuous blush gray. A
lining and leather chin straps are
then fastened on, and the helmet is

FUTURE SUPPLY OF GASOLINE
When the quantity of petroleum
that can be obtained from the oil wells
of the country begin to show signs of
diminution, there will still be vir-
tually inexhaustible source Of supply.
It is the shale beds of Colorado, Utah
and Wyoming. The United States
Geological Survey estimates that in
Colorado alone there is sufficient shale
in beds three or more feet thick, to
yield twenty billion barrels of crude
oil, from which at least two billion
barrels of gasoline can be extracted.
Bituminous shale is clayey, haky
rock that contains hydrocarbons or
bituminous materials. Heat changes
hem into crude oil, gas and ammonia.
The refined oil yields about ten per
cent of gasoline, thirty-five per cent
of kerosene, and considerable guam
tity of paraffin. In Scotland they
have extracted oil from shale for more
than fifty years, but the average
quantity of oil recovered from ton
of shale is much less than the amount
our own shales would yield. The re.
tail price of gasoline is now higher
than it has ever been before. Ac.
cording to government figures, the
total yearly output is about sixty
three million barrels, and, as it i:
estimated that only about nine hun
dred and thirty-four million barrel:
can be produced from the presen
sources, there is little prospect thai
the price will come down.

PECULIAR TIRE VULCANIZER
MADE FOR MOTORISTS

In an attempt to simplify the pro-
cess of repairing the inner tubes of
motor-car and cycle tires a novel vul-
canizing device has been introduced
which mends a break in few min
utes without requiring the use of ce-
ment, acid, or gasoline. The de-
vice is described in the June Popular
Mechanics Magazine. 1t comprises
clamp and a number of prepared
patches, each of which consists of a
metal pan that has piece of raw
rubber on onoe side and holds COM
bustible material. When the latter
is ignited, after being placed over a
'ncture, it vulcanizes the rubbed to

MOVIES AND SURGERY

Members of the New York County
Medical Society recently witnessed a
series of motion pictures of intricate
surgical operations, intended to show
medical students and doctors the lat
est methods and technique of leading
surgeons. Since the pictures were
taken within eight feet of the oper-
ating table, every movement of the
surgeons can be seen more clearly
than is possible in a clinic amphithe.
ater, where the seats of the students
are fifteen or twenty feet from the
operating table. According to the
New York Times, the accuracy and
,tail of the pictures are excellent.
The films are entirely impersonal, for
only the hands of the chief surgeon
and his assistants appear. The SER
les will not be shown in public, but
duplicates will be kept in medical
colleges and medical libraries. Even
tually it may be possible for any sur
geon or student to get at short no.
tice the film he needs to illustrate
the details of an operation that he
himself must perform without delay.
Thus, when a leading surgeon of Ber-
lin, Paris, London, or New York in
vents a new and valuable method,
the films will reproduce his procedure
in any city Of the world.

THOUSANDS OF
NEW SETTLERS
MONTANA'S FAME AS FARMING
STATE BRINGS MANY
HOMESTEADERS.

During the past five years 100000
homesteaders have come to Montana
and the past IL months have witness
ed the advent of more land buyers
than any previous three year period,
according to Seth Maxwell, secretary
of the state bureau of agriculture.
Scarcity of homesteads, easily &C.
cessible, and the fact that Montana
has proved itself a farming state,
where the element Of risk is not great,
have resulted in an influx of land buy
ing Observation-Disclosures farmers
who come to this state with few
head of livestock, carload or two of
household effects and money enough
to start, farming operations imme-
diately," said Mr.. Maxwell.
"The two by four country stores
have been doing business in imple-
ments that would make big establish
ments of the state jealous.
$50 many homeseekers have come to
this state within the past five years
100000 of them, according to our esti-
mate-that all of the homesteads with
in easy access of railroads have been
taken up. Real estate dealers as a re-
suit have bought large tracts and have
interested eastern homesteaders in
large numbers"
Discussing farming conditions gen.
orally throughout the state, Mr.. Max
we'll said that there is popular mis-
conception as to the effects of the
cold weather and recent rains.
"These rains mean everything to a
large portion of the state," he said
"While there has been plenty of mois'
ture in Broadwater and Gallatir
counties up to 10 days ago there was
a pressing need of rain all along the
northern part of the state from Plen
tywood to Shelby. AS result Of
these rains what we call the High
lands are now assured of good crops
this year.
"The weather has been too cold TO
anything to grow, but we'll get lot'
of growing weather in July and that's
;hen the benefcient results of thes'
rains will be manifested"

RAPID GROWTH
REMARKABLE
H. A. CUNNINGHAM BOOSTS
NORTHEASTERN MONTANA
AFTER VISIT HERE.

Raw veldt seven years ago, Sheri-
dan county, tucked away in the north
eastern part of Montana, produced
last year eight million bushels OF
grain, one-seventh of the entire
amount of grain Montana sent to
market. More acreage has been
seeded this year than ever before, and
Sheridan county is looking for a crop
of ten million bushels. =;
These are the facts that confronted
H. r. Cunningham, general manager
of the Montana Life Insurance COM
pany last week when he went to Plen-
tywood in response to an invitation
to address the Sheridan County Bank
ers' Association. He spoke on Mon
tana.
"If that part of Montana is not al
ready the greatest part of Montana it
will be in the near FUTURE" said Mr..
Cunningham. "Consider, if you will,
there were IS bankers in attendance
on that county meeting, representing
% banks, more than are to be found
in any other county in the state.
There are IL or Is substantial towns
in Sheridan county. Plentywood has
four banks, Medicine Lake has three,
nd nearly all Of them have two, and
they do business without crowding
one another.
II saw more red barns and two story
houses on Sheridan county ranches
than have seen any place else in the
west, Minnesota alone excepted. The
country is prosperous, the towns are
prosperous. A visit to Sheridan
county will make an optimist Of a
pessimist, and he'll boost for Mon
tana harder than ever.
"The Fort Peck reservation is
destined to become as good an agri-
cultural domain as Sheridan county
/ was told 200 families, we'll equipped
and well-to-do have filed on the reser-
walton this year, and it is expected
all the open land will be gone before
fall.
"After having the prosperity OF
Sheridan county demonstrated to me
so amazingly, appreciated to much
greater degree the significance of the
train service there. 1t leans to the east
instead of to the west. In other words,
it is easier under the present train
service for a Sheridan county man to
20 to Dakota or Minnesota to trans
act business than to transact it with
other parts of Montana.
"Rich and productive as northeast
ern Montana is today, it is not a
marker to what it will be in few
years. Bankers, merchants and whole
salers in other parts Of Montana
should devote more attention to this
part of the state if they seek an ex'
pansion of business.
"Glasgow is steadily growing. A
fine five-tory building is being erect
ed there and the Odd Fellows will
build handsome structure, which, in
cidentally, will be financed by the
Montana Life.
"All northern Montana is one sheet
of water, which will insure good
crop this season."

Two of a Kind

Two wretched looking tramps were
brought before justice Of the peace.
Addressing the worse looking one, the
justice said: "Where do you live?"
Nowhere"
"And where do you live?" said the
