Men who drive cars are face to face with
condition that becomes more and more
serious each day.
That condition is the constantly de-
clining grade of gasoline.
Nearly every engineer has said goodby
forever to high-gradc gas.
For the moment. and possibly for al
time, multi-cylinders, counter balanced
crankshafts, and little tricks with valves
give way in engineers discussions to the
gas problem.
Every alert engineer is bending his
utmost to make 'one drop of gas now do
the work of two''.
Just as great situations produce great
men, so out of this condition has come
great engine.
1t is Chalmers.
1t makes hig oh power out of low grade
Compared with other engines of the
same size or thercabouts, it shows:
More poaUer More rapid acceleration
Greater economy Greater length cfHte
Greater smoothnew
And an amasiug ability TO start quickL ON
cold day, and to "warm up aVithout delay.
The Chalmers engine is a simple one.
That is one reason why it is so good.
In many engines of the moment the gas
passes on its way from the carburetor to the
cylinder throug tunnel, which runs all
the way through the engine block.
Before the gas gets to the cylinder it is
forced to turn many sharp angles and does
not become completel y mixed with the air.
This results in raw gas running into not
only one but all the cylinders, particularly
when the car is cold, and especially when
running for the first five or ten miles.
In the case of the Chalmers engine this
type of intake manifold has been COM
pletely eliminated.

Bulletin On Millet Just Out

Washington, D. C. April 12th.-
If you have some rich, loose loamy
soil that you are not going to plant
with a valuable crop then seed it
with millet, says the Department
of Agriculture.
In an illustrated farmers bull
etin just from the press, Foxtail
millet, its culture and utilization,
is fully discussed, informing the
farmer how to take advantage of
the opportunity to try out this
catch crop" Congressman John
M. Evans distributed several sam
pie packages of the Kursk variety,
which is best adopted to Montana,
and now some may be had through
the local experimental stations.
Why not try it out and get yield
of hay in sixty-four days.

Sheriff Twible of Glendive was

Plant Spring Wheat

Reports from the central west
indicate the loss of millions OF
acres of fall sown wheat through
winter killing. This means that
the wheat crop is going to be
short unless there is heavy spring
planting. With present world con-
ditions, there is urgent need for
maximum production and the
United States should contribute
more largely than ever before to
the worlds supply of food.
Montana produces exec llent
wheat and she should raise at least
100000 bushels in 1917. In
1915, the government estimate
placed the Montana wheat crop at
100000 bushels. In 1916, the
report showed only 28,OOO,OOO bu-
shells in the state, the reduction
being due to loss from winter kill
ing. A total of fifty million bu-
shells would mean only the very

MP. Trains Resume
Travel On Own Line

Train No. l on the Northern Pa
cific which was delayed by trouble
from ice and water at the Missouri
river got over Tuesday at 8::55 a. m.
and arrived in Miles City last night.
According to arrivals on the
train the trouble was on the low
lying flats between Mandan east
to the Missouri river. From the
Missouri east to Bismarck there
was no trouble whatever. The flat
between Mandan and the Missouri
river bridge was under several
feet of ice and water owing to a
gorge and about a mile of track
was taken out.
Five travelling men, who attemp-
ted to go from Mandan to Bismarck
in a boat, in order to spend Easter
Sunday at their homes, were
drowned, and a sixth had an ex-
tremely narrow escape. The men
aimed to reach the bridge in a row
boat, the bridge being high enough
to be out of water and there being
no track under water from the
bridge east to Bismarck.
The men in the boat found the
wind so strong and the current so
swift that after they had gone
some distance they decided to try
and get back to Mandan, but in
turning around their boat struck a
wire fence and was upset, all but
one being drowned. As the water
vas comparatively shallow the
bodies were recovered later.
Trains were detoured between
Sidney and Jamestown over the

Have You Potatoes to Sell?

According to reports there seems
to be quite a lot of potatoes
throughout this section which can
not be disposed off, owing to no
local market.
A movement is now on foot
whereby it may be possible to dis
pose of a few carloads. The plan
is to find out how many have po-
tatoes to sell and howmany bushels.
Arrangements would then be made
to have all having potatoes to sell
to deliver them in Richey or Glen
dive on some certain days, say two
days, and ship them east on the
market where they are needed and
there is no doubt but what they
would bring a good price. At least
it would seem that it should be
possible to get $1.50 per bushel be-
sides expenses of hauling them
there.
Anyone having any potatoes to
sell may drop us a line and we
shall see what can be done. How
ever it is important that you act
soon.

Ranch Home Destroyed By
Fire--Lady Perished In Flames

The saddest tragedy that we
have had occasion to chronicle for
some time is the news that the
ranch home of John Romine out
on Mcclure was destroyed by fire
a week ago yesterday and that one
human life perished in the flames.
The fire was disc overed about
a o'clock in the morning when the
Romines were awakened because
of the house being full of smoke,
and Immediately the Romines, to-
gether with Mrs. ]. E. Wright, a
sister of Mrs. Romine and G. L.
Reifenberick who was there on a
visit, started to leave the house.
Arriving downstairs all passed out
of the house and Mrs. Wright was
seen coming also. However in
stead of going on out the door the
others had, the lady had gone in
to the dinning room in an attempt
to go out another door. She had
reached the door-but failed to get
out. In a few minutes she was
missed and a search was made by
the others but the fire had already
gotten such a headway that they
could not get inside.
Cause of fire is supposed to have
started from Goals in an ash buck
ct standing by the cook stove.
The deceased lady was SIS years
of age and had arrived here about
two months ago from Oklahoma
together with her husband. 1t
happened that the night of the
fire Mr.. Wright was at the Nc
MILAN ranch on visit, having
gone there the day before.
Remains were shipped back to
Oklahoma the foreparte of the
week, being accompanied by Mr..
Wright.
The Banner joins in extending
coincidence to the relatives and
friends in their hour of bereave-
ment.

A jury trial was called and
Koontz was found guilty and given

Reports from Buenos Aires bring
news of continued anti-German

endorse the action of the United

The only South American nations
that have not been frank in their
endorsement of the step taken by
the United States are Ecuador,
Chile and Peru. Following is the
way the other Latin-American
nations whose positions are defined
were lined up today:
Cuba-Decided war against Ger
many.
Panama-Declared its readiness
to assist in any way possible in the
protection of the Panama canal.
Costa Rica-Offered its ports
and other territorial waters to the
United States for war needs of the
American navy.
Brazil-Relations broken with
Germany.
Bolivia-Relations broken with
Germany.
Urguay-Endorsed the action of
the United States and characterized
Germany's submarine warfare as
an Insult to humanity"
Paraguay-Expressed sympathy
with the government of the United
States forced into war to rehabil-
itate the rights of neutrals."
observation-disclosures the action
of the United States as just and
right.
Mexico-Neutral.
Honduras, Nicaragua and Saliva
dor are believed awaiting action
