$500 in Mail Box.

Butte.-A mail carrier of this, city
was tempted to believe he was dream
ing when he opened a mail box and
found it partly filled with silver dol
lars and other coins which counted up
to $4,000. The money lay loose on
the bottom of the box, and evidently
had been poked through the letter
slit. The mail carrier took the money
to the postmaster, and later Charles
Stenar of Lewistown, applied to the
police to help him recover $4,000
which he said he had put in UNITED
States street safe" Stenars conduct
led to his detention, the authorities
deciding that his mental state was ir-
rational.

No Damages for Loss of Lea.

George Carvel, railroad construction
laborer, who broke his wooden leg
while working for the Grant Construc-
ton company at Shelby, will receive
no accident compensation award by the
state compensation board. While the
leg may be an accessory, aid, appur-
tenance, trimming or decoration to its
owner, it is no part of his mortal
frame, hence does not come under the
compensation law.
Carvel's artificial limb could not be
mended at Shelby, and the construc-
ton company sent it east, where it
was mended for $2S, which bill the
company paid, and then asked the
compensation board to require the in
surance company which insured it to
assume.

Efficiency.

After many trials and tribulations
Mrs. Timson had managed to get q
maid" of sorts.
"Now, Thurza," said she, 'be careful
about the water. We only use the
well water for drinking, as we have
to pay man to pump it. The rain
water is good enough for washing up
and so on"
After tea Mrs. Timson asked:
"Did you remember about the water,
Thursza?"
"Oh, yes, m'm," said Thurza. II
filled the kettle half full of water
from the butt and the other half with
water from the well. l thought that
bottom half might as well be getting
hot at the same time for washing up
after San Francisco Argonaut.

Mr.. Farmer: Are you making

If you are making food for your
family and feed for your live stock,
YOU are not being fooled. Let's fig
urc a little on making cotton and
buying hay, corn, meat, -four and
lard. "Figures will not lie If you put
them down right"
In an average year, with cotton at
l2c., a $50 bale will buy
~ barrels flour at IS per barrel.
500 pounds lard at Zoe. per pound.
so bushels corn at 75c. per bushel.
800 pounds salt pork at 12c. pound.
1 tons hay at Sl5 per ton.
92 bushels oats at 65c. per bushel.
With 1Sc. cotton a 500 bale will
buy
8 barrels -four at $40 per barrel.
500 pounds lard at 1Sc. per pound.
75 bushels corn at $1.20 bushel.
500 pounds salt pork at 1Sc. pound.
%% tons hay at $24 per ton.
80 bushels oats at 81 per bushel.
Your $50 bale doesn't buy any
more than your $50 bale did. Cot.
ton Is good money crop. 1t is, and
always will be, our principal cash
crop, boil weevil or no boil weevil:
but no one knows what cotton will
be selling at next fall. SO let's play
safe and raise home supplies first
and then all the cotton we can.
