FREE GOVERNMENT LAND
Is FILED FOR RAPIDLY
At Present Rate But Little VIII Be
Left Six Months Hence, Says
Official.

Helena-"Reports which come to this
department" states c. D. Greenfield,
commissioner of agriculture and pub
Lefty, the number of filings under the
recently enacted 640-acre grazing
homestead act, in the next six months,
will cover a very large portion Of the
free government lands in this state.
At the Helena land Office, have been
informed, the filings aggregate about
$4,000 acres daily. At Miles City they
are running about 10000 acres, and at
the other land offices east of the noun
tains the story is about the same.
1.-THE last report of the general land
office, under date of July 1, 1916,
showed that there was surveyed pub
lilo land in Montana open to entry
aggregating a little more than 9,000.-
900 acres. This includes mountain
GUS, agricultural and grazing lands.
I'm the year from July L, 1915, to
June 80, 1916, more than half mil
lion acres of surveyed public lands
were entered in Montana. The enact
ment of the 640-acre law, which was
signed by the president recently, has
had the result in two weeks of caus-
ing filings on more government land
in this state than was entered during
the whole of the fiscal year ending last
June.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girisl Try Thisl Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, BeautifuI-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
sOftness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless observation-disclosures
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it If you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

Millions Spent or Music.

II expenditure of money is any test,
America can certainly claim the credit
of being a musical country. Accord
ing to an estimate compiled some time
ago by an expert, the United States
spends no less than i120,0OO,OOO on
music every year. This is three times
as much as the same country spends
on its army and navy; while musical
Germany" it Is pointed out, spends ten
times as much on Its army and navy
as on its music.
In the American total, church music
accounts for f1O,OOO,OOO a year. The
sale Of pianos reaches f27,0O0,000, of
organs f13,OOO.OOO, and of sheet music
and music books, e., 100000.

WESTERN CANADA LEADS
AS WHEAT PRODUCER
342, 100000 Bushels Wheat In
1915; In 1916 Many Farm
erS Paid for Their Land
Out of Their Crop.

That Western Canada is indeed
Mistress Of Wheat" to the extent that
its 1915 crop exceeded, acre for acre,
the production of any country on this
continent is striking fact proved by
the following figures:
In 1916 the Dominion of Canada pro-
duced 376,0OO,OO0 bushels Of wheat,
which represented an average yield OF
20 bushels to the acre. The United
States produced 1,011 SOC, 900 bushels,
yield of II bushels per acre. The only
serious competitors in wheat produc-
ton in South America were Argentine,
with 1921 900 bushels, or less than
II bushels per acre, and Chile. with
100000 bushels or Is bushels per
acre.
The three Western Canadian prairie
provinces Of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta produced between them
842 100000 bushels out of the total Ca
madam 376OOO,OOO bushels. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that, outside OF the
United States, Western Canada pro-
duced considerably more than the COM
bined production Of North and South
America. Canada Is of course new
settled country, and the fact that the
crop Of the United States was pracd-
cally three times as much Is no dis
enlargement. The United States has
at present more than twelve times the
population of Canada in approximately
the same area.
To illustrate further the greater pro-
ductiveness of Western Canadian land,
we submit the following figures, show
ing the 1915 yields per acre in the
three provinces Of Western Canada
and In the states which in that year
produced the greatest quantity OF
wheat. The figures are taken from the
U. S. department of agriculture's an
nual report and from the figures of the
Dominion census bureau:

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuee sweating, - in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason

SIS, 1000 WORTH OF WHEAT
Fergus County Crop Expected to Reach
That Sum.

Fergus county Crop Expected TO Reach
That Sum.
Lewistown.-Fergus county's wheat
crop this year is expected to bring the
farmers at least 100000 in cold
cash. County Agriculturist Carl Pc
terson estimates that the acreage in
winter wheat is not less than 100000,
to which will be added 100000 acres
of spring wheat. Figuring the aver
age yield on the very low basis of 20
bushels to the acre, this would give
100000 bushels of wheat for mar
keting. He takes $3.50 per bushel as
a safe basis for the price, and this
would give the s15,O00,000. AS a mat
ter of fact, the crop is far more likely
to bring in sum considerably in ex-
cess of this than under it.
