new STANDARDS
CONTROL GRAIN
Dealers Must Conform to Reg,
ulations Set by Department
of Agriculture

Montana grain dealers have been
officially advised that new federal
standards for wheat became effective
the first of this month, and other
standards will become effective Aug
ust first, and that all wheat in in
terstate or foreign commerce must
conform to the new standards. The
notice sent out by the office Of mar
kets, United States department of
agriculture, states:
"Your attention is called to the fact
that the official grain standards of
the United States for hard red winter
wheat, common white wheat, and
white club wheat becomes effective on
July 1, 1917, and the standards for all
other wheat on August 1, 1917.
ION and after these dates, respec-
lively, the grading of all wheat which
is sold, offered for sale, or consigned
for sale by grade and shipped in inter
state or foreign commerce must be &C
cording to these standards.
"That the grain trade should have
an intimate knowledge of the new
standards for wheat it is of the ut
most Importance. This is especial,
true with respect to the classified
ton of wheat under the new standards
The new classification involves man!

inches apart. Use a biscuit pan IL
by IA inches on the top to hold the
water, and where the refrigerator is
to be used indoors have the whole
thing standing in a large pan to catch
any drip. The pans and case may be
painted white, allowed to dry and
then enameled. A covering of white
Canton flannel should be made to fit
the frame. Have the smooth side
out and button the covering on the
frame with buggy or automobile cur
tain hooks and eyes, arranged so that
the door may be opened without nu-
fastening these hooks. This may be
done easily by putting n row of
hooks on the edge of the door near
the latch and the other just opposite
the opening with the hem on each
side extended far enough to owe the
crack at THE edge of the door, so as
to keep out the warm, outside air and
retain the cooled air. This dress OF
covering will have to be hooked
around the top edge also. Two dou.

BIG INCREASE IN AUTOS

In 1916 there were 10,067,332 more
motor cars registered in the United
States than in 1915. This was an in
crease of 43 per cent. The gross total
of registered cars, including CONNER
cial cars, was 3,512,996; the number
of motor cycles registered was $780,

diers of the commissary who are
making gardens.
All these troublesome vagrant
plants, that gain footholds in the gar
den, forage upon the plant food and
water which should be available to
build up food plants.
They stunt some vegetables by
stealing their s%ustenance and crowd
out and shade others.
From morning until night weeds
that are allowed to grow in a garden
work steadily against the interests Of
the gardener; and the longer they are
left undisturbed the greater becomes
their capacity for harm.
If you have not begun to free your
garden crops of the weed enemies
that are probably attacking them now,
you should lose no time in beginning
your campaign. 1t is a warfare that
you will have to wage, off and on, all
season, but if you bring superior
force into play early you will be able
to confine the enemy to a struggling
guerilla offensive that will aus lit
tie destruction.
In this warfare the hoe is your
heavy artillery and is to be depended
upon chiefly for action in the open
Weeders are the most effective wea-
pons for close action. Neither tool
however, will wholly do away with
the necessity for the hand-to-hanc
struggle to uproot the persistent
weeds that grow closely about the
stems Of the smaller plants you wish
to protect, and which yield only when
they are pulled bodily up by the
thumb and finger.
The fight on weeds should begin
as soon as it is possible to distinguish
easily between them and the garden
plantlets. 1t is even possible to dc
much effective work in killing weeds
between the rows before the young
vegetables make their appearance
provided the exact location of the
planted seeds is marked.
The gardener should choose q
bright, sunny day for wedding. Al
this time even weeds which are only
partially severed from their roots will
have little chance of surviving the
whitening rays Of the sun. If weed.
ing operations r conducted on q
cloudy or damp day, however, many
of the weeds that are incompletely
severed will take fresh growth.
Wedding does more than free the
gardens of undesirable plants. The
digging incidental to removing the
weeds also serves as a cultivation. As
soon as the weeds have been dug up
the roughened ground should be care
fully smoothed with a rake. This
will incorporate air in the soil, form
a dust mulch which will aid in pre-.
venting the loss of moisture through
evaporation, and will tend to bring
to the surface and expose to the sur
weeds roots and sprouting weed seeds
which otherwise might produce plants

THE POLYTECHNIC EKECTS
THREE NEW BUILDINGS

A great forward move is being
made at the Polytechnic which is sit
uated at Billings in the heart of the
Midland Empire Three new buildings
are being erected and their completion
will mean that this school in the
shadow of the giant rim-rocks will
be one of the best equipped education
al institutions not only in Montana,
but in the great northwest.
There is ample room in Montana
for a great Independent university.
This is especially true of eastern Mon
tana which has no state institution of
learning. The Polytechnic is making
the most rapid strides. It has grown
faster than any of the state schools
during their first eight years and has
erected more buildings in the past five
years than all the state institutions
put together. At it's present rate Of
growth it will have a million dollars
in property and one thousand students
in five years time. When it is consid-
cred that this wonderful school with
it's beautiful buildings, grounds and
farm has been built in eight years
and without aid from the legislature
or a dollar of tax upon the public, it
becomes more remarkable and takes
it's place as a monument to the genius
of it's founders and the open hearted
generosity and farsighted vision of its
friends. The three buildings to be
erected are the Losekamp Memorial
Conservatory of Music, Kenney Hal
and the Gymnasum-Armory.
The Conservatory
In a few weeks the corner stone Of
the conservatory will be laid and thu
thought of John D. Losekamp, wht
bequeathed in his will the money t.
erect the building, will have become
true. He said, 81 do not know of an!
greater thing I can do for the north
west than to establish a c~onservator!
of music where the young women o
the northwest can secure the very hes
of advantages of a musical educa
ton. A great conservatory of must
established at Billings will contribut'
much to refinement and growth o
the coming generations"
The buildings will be cross-shaped
Tudor-Gothic in architecture, fou
stories high, built of gray rock quar-
ried from the bluffs back of tn
school. The wide front will contain
25 studios and practice rooms and on
wing will house the Polytechnic Ii
brary. The long center stretching
back 120 feet will contain a beautifu
auditorium seating about 600. TIL
stage will be convertible so as to b
used for music recitals, chapel, publ
occasions, or for dramatic work. !

which will be used for programs an

courses. The basement will be use
for general class purposes as needle
and will tighten the burden of pre-
viding class room facilities for tn
rapidly growing student body.

The Walker Bill.

The bill introduced on Wednesday
by Senator Walker of Somerset pro-
viding for change in the present law
regarding the employment of superin-
tendents of schools by the union of
towns. proposes the extension of pro-
fessional supervision to all towns of
the State.
Under the law now in effect 319
cities, towns and plantations have taxi
en- advantage of the provisions of this
law. In these places are "a per cent of
the school population, SO per cent Of
the school enrolment and u per cent
of all schools.
In most of the towns of the remain
ing group the need of expert super
vision is great. Unfortunately, how
ever. it is not possible for some of these
places to unite with other towns. This
is due in part to the fact that the pres
ent system has grown up gradually and
naturally and that the geographical
situation is such in many cases that
towns can only obtain the privileges Of
the law by favorable action on the
part of joint committees of adjoining
unions. Other towns, after taking fay-
orable action to instruct the commit
tees to enter unions are prevented from
so doing by reason of the fact that
those towns with which they would
naturally join have taken no such ac-
ton. Altogether there are dfty-one
