the nest box. If it is Of heavy mate

ware nests are too cold in winter.
Some do without pans by putting

NUMBER OF EGGS UNDER HEN
In Natural Season Fowl Can Comfort.
ably Cover Fifteen-Much De-
ponds on Time Of Year.

The number of eggs to be placed
under a hen depends on her size and
the season of the year. The usual
number a medium-sized hen can com.
rortably cover in the natural season
is IS. During very warm weather this
hen perhaps could cover II eggs. If
possible set two hens at the same time
and give all chicks Matched to one hen.

Worth Ponderino Over.

To understand the world is wiser
than it is to condemn it. To study
the world is better than it is to shun
it. To use the world is nobler than
to abuse it. To make the world bet
ter, lovelier and happy, is the noblest
work of man OF woman.

as they are early in spring. In many
cases this means the loss Of many
thousands OF dollars worth Of hay.
In some states very little has been
done toward preventing this loss; but
In Minnesota and Nebraska grasshop-
pers are fought systematically with
considerable success.
Grasshoppers in alfalfa fields may
be held in check in ordinary years by
blowing late in the fall the waste lands
where they breed and by dfsk-harrow-
ing badly infested fields, thus Destroy
ing the eggs in the soil.

Tho important point in picking
strawberries, and other berries, too,

NEW SAVINGS SYSTEM.

A new system of teaching the
school children of the city to save
will be introduced in the Glasgow
public schools. 1t is called the
System Bank" way and it's practic-
ability assures it of success.
Mr.. Carlton A. Grier of Coeur
d'Alene, Idaho was in the city this
week and took up the matter of es-
tablishing the system here. He was
given very cordial reception by
both bankers and school officials and
expects to have the system in op.
'eration during the early part OF
March.
State Superintendent H. A. Davee
is very enthusiastic over the new ides
and in this regard says:
"The Helena schools have just in
troduced school savings banks using
the System Bank" way. This system
has many advantages over the plat
generally used; no expense to th'
schools; no financial responsibility tt
the school or teacher; operates ever!
month in the year, vacations includ
ed; open to every bank desiring t.
cooperate; the selection of bank lef
to pupil and parent.
"Thrift is one of the great need
of the nation. There is an old Ger
man maxim to the effect that what
ever you wish to come out in the lif
of the nation should be put into tn
public schools. We are fast becomin!
nation of spendthrifts. Why no
put school savings bank in you
school this year,"

DR.. Allen l.. Kroner, an optician
of Helena, who is we'll known in the
city, having made periodical visits
here for the past ten years, died in
Havre Monday. He arrived in Havre
last week and was taken sick Sunday.
He did not think his illness serious
and refused to permit friends or the
attending physician to send for his
wife who was in the southern part
of the state. His trouble was diabe-
tes, from which he had been suf-
ferer for the past ten years. he
failed rapidly and a telegram was

"BLYCk" BUYS CIGAR FACTORY

A. E. Blycker now signs his name
as proprietor, president and chief
bottle washer of the LaMedalla Cigar
factory, having acquired the above
titles by purchase from candy" Tor
gerson, who left last week for the
west. While "Blyck" knows more
about selling knot-holes than rolling
"ropes," yet he hopes by the patron

up the local factory until some day
it will be housed under a three-story
shack with big plate glass windows
all around, and with the words "Pri-

G. n. TO EXTEND BRANCH.

Removal of construction equipment
from points along the Great North
ern line in Mckenzie county to the
vicinity of Lambert, Mont, indicates
that the railroad plans an early re-
sumption of construction operations
on the New Rockford, North Dakota,
to Lewistown, Montana, line.
A. Guthrie & Co., holders of big
contracts with the Great Northern,
are shipping their equipment from
Mckenzie county in North Dakota TO
points along the survey in Montana,
and officials Of that company declare
the plan is to begin work early in the
spring.
Substantial evidence has come
from several sources that the Great
Northern will go about construction
work on an extensive basis during the
coming summer season and the New
Rockford -Lewistown line may be COM
pleted by the middle of next winter.
Following the completion of the New
Rockford to Lewistown line, the Great
Northern intends to construct hne
from New Rockford to Larimore,
North Dakota, thus establishing a di-
rect route between Grand Forks,
North Dakota and Great Falls,

TRAGEDY AT HAVRE.

Preston L. Conrad, a we'll known
railway conductor, committed suicide
at Havre Saturday by shooting him
self in the head. Before turning the
gun on himself, Conrad sent bull
let crashing into the head of Mrs
Elizabeth Coulter.
That Conrad was insane is the gen.
eral opinion of those who have OBJ
served his actions the past few
months. About seven months ago he
was knocked from the top of freight
train and railroad men say that he
never entirely recovered from the ac.
cident.
Conrad died instantly, but Mrs
Coulter withstood the shock and will
probably recover.

WILL FURNISH
FREE BEETSEED
Commercial Club to Supply the
Farmers for Making Tests.
FARMERS TO COOPERATE
Successful Tests Will be q Big Fac
tor in Getting . Sugar Beet
Factory Located Here.

The Glasgow Commercial club will
have a limited quantity Of sugar beet
seed this year to distribute among
farmers for experimental work.
It is the intention of the club to
place the sugar beet seed in the hands
of farmers owning land under irri-
cation when water will be turned in
the ditch. No beets will be grown on
bench lands as this is of no benefit
to the development of sugar beets
commercially in the district.
Owing to the scarcity of sugar beet
seed in America it is very difficult
matter to secure enough to make a
practical test as was done in 1915.
The Commercial club has managed
to get limited amount of seed and
it will be given out only in small
quantities and every farmer securing
the seed must be willing to grow the
beets according to direction furnished.
No greater work for the benefit OF
the farmers and business men can be
accomplished than that Of developing
the real facts about sugar beet grow
ing in Lower Milk River Valley. Peo-
pie locally are satisfied the beets can
be grown here to profitable advant-
age but the work cannot stop with
that assurance alone. 1t must be
demonstrated to the satisfaction Of
those who can and will invest their
money in a plant before the work car
be called complete. The only way tt
do this is by growing the sugar beets
on the farm according to the method:
required by factory so that tn
very best results may be produced. Il
is the percentage of sugar, the purit!
of the beet grown, and not the big
ness of the beet that is essential. T,
get the proper results, extra work il
required. The Commercial club il
wiling to spend money and time tt
help develop this industry, if 1.
farmer will do his share thorough!
and as required, the battle will b
more than half won.
Farmers willing to assist in thi
work, who will have land in cultiva
ton in the valley, should communi
cate with the Commercial club at once
The seed will be distributed abou
March Is, and the club wishes t.
know just how many farmers will co
operate in this work.

CHINOOK CAUSES
FLOOD AT HAVRE
Bull Hook Creek Overflows Banks
Property Damaged.

The Chinook winds which visited
this section the first of the week and
melted the snow which lay to the
depth of two feet on the level, caused
Bull Hook creek at Havre to over
flow it's banks and part of the Gas
city is now under water.
The flood waters came down with
rush Tuesday afternoon, and so un-
expected was it that the children in
the schools on the south side were
marooned and wagons and automo-
biles were pressed into service to lake
them to their homes.
The city pumping station was flood
ed and put out of commission and the
water plant cannot be operated, leav-
ing the citizens out of water for do
mestic use.
A gas shortage was reported, due
to the breaking of a gas main and
coal could not be brought in from the
mines near the city because of the
high water. AS result many people
are without fuel of any kind. All the
families that remained on the south
side Tuesday night were removed to
the downtown hotels by automobiles
and wagons.
Many of the houses in the flooded
district are standing in three feet of
water and the people of the city ex-
press fears that if the ice in the Milk
river breaks up and causes an ice
blockade the flood may grow much
worse.
An idea of how rapidly the waters
rose can be ascertained when it was
learned that the water rose four and
a half feet in a period of little
more than three hours.
The damage from the flood cannot
be estimated, but it amounts to sew
eral thousand dollars.

pi0nship at Stake.

pi0nship at Stake.
Lovers of virile, red-blooded sport
cannot afford to overlook the basket
ball tournament that is to be held in
Havre on the 25th and 26th of this
month. The prize for which all of
the teams will strive is the champion
ship of the northern district and the
privilege of representing this district
in the big state tournament at Boze-
man early in March.
Four high schools, Glasgow, Chi
nook, Havre and Fort Benton will
have teams entered in this tourna-
ment and from the very start it will
be a battle royal. The teams will be
paired by lot for the first round of
games on Friday evening, February
Is. On the following evening the
winners will play for the champion
ship and the losers will also prob
. ably play an exhibition game. Thus
there will be four good games in the
course of the two evenings. Glasgow
lis scheduled to meet Chinook in the
first game.
Followers of this popular sport
know that all will be good games, Cor
all the teams are going exceptionally
we'll, and all have championship aspir-
ations. There will be "blood on the
moon" from the very start and all the
way through.
The Great Northern has kindly con-
ceded rates of fare and one-third on
the certificate plan from Shelby, Fort
Benton, Glasgow and intermediate
points. Thus it will be possible fol
anyone who desires to go to Havre fol
the tournament, or on other business
to do so at minimum cost. Those who
make the trip should buy tickets al
regular rates and take receipts. Wher
countersigned by the tournament au
thorities, these receipts will entitl'

cent a mile.

: shape by the time of the tournament
and Coach Buchanan is pushing hi
proteges through daily practice. Glas
