Law fORBIDS use OF
FLAG IN ADVERTISING
Many Forms of Put'icity Disre-
gard Statute by Display of
National COlO--3.

There is a ~too-general disregard of
the law which forbids the use of the
American flag for advertising pur-
poses, according to a statement from
the school Of journalism at the State
University of Montana. "The terms
of the flag law are specific and
STERN" says this statement, "yet there
are many advertising cards and PAM
phlets sent out these days which de-
pend entirely upon their display of
the national colors to attract atten-
ton"
Printers should be careful in this
respect and should inform themselves
as to the terms of the statute. The
printer is held equally culpable with
the advertiser who uses this form of
publicity. There are so many other
ways for attracting notice and for dis
playing printed matter that, aside
from the law, a proper regard for the
flag and it's significance would seem
to prompt avoidance of any act which
tends to cheaper the Stars and
Stripes or to bring the national en-
blem into disrespect.

OWNERS NAY LEASE
IRRIGATED LANDS
Farmers Unable to Handle Acre.
age May Lease Lands Through
Government Agents.

A special effort is being made by
the reclamation service at Malta,
Montana, in the lower Milk River val
ley, to interest practical farmers, par
ticularly those who have the neces-
sary equipment and experience in ir-
rigation, to lease the excess holdings
OF private land owners on the Milk
river project. The project manager is
securing options and leases, and will
act as agent in locating renters or
purchasers without charge. Numer-
Gus owners have listed their lands
with the government, their leases
running for three years with a privi-
lege to buy at the end of one to three
years. Very liberal terms are offered
ranging from 5000 per annum for 100
acres to IS per acre annually, or from
one-fourth to one-half the crop re-
turns. The lands are all under gov
eminent bitches, and water will be
available for 1918 crops.
Opportunities are offered for farm
ers to lease these lands for three
years, during which period they will
have practically no investment in the
land itself. The selling price is fixed
at the time of the lease, so that the
renter is protected against imitation of
values if he decides to become a pur-
chaser at the expiration of the con-
tract.

cold wave the mercury dropped to
the lowest point so far this winter.
Cold weather during the first four
days Of the week with sharp winds
made the sensible temperature quite
severe. The cold spell was broken

TUNGSTEN MATERIALS AID
IN MAKING TOOL STEEL
University Geologist Describes
Them in Third of Series to
Aid Government.

Some of the tungsten minerals are
important in the manufacture of high
speed tool steel. The demand for
this quality of steel is great in these
days of intensive manufacturing of
arms and munitions. These brief de-
scriptions of the more important tung-
stem minerals may prove helpful.
There r nine definitely known
tungsten minerals. Not ali Of them,
however, r commercially important.
The nine are Wolframite, Scheelite,
Huebnerite, Ferberite, Stolzite, Ras-
pite, Hungstite, Cuprotungstite, Fer
ritungstite. The first four are the
ones which are commercially import
ant in the United States and are the
n which are described here.
Wolframite-This mineral is gen.
orally black in color, heavy (between
~ and 7.5); can be scratched by a
knife; streak dark brown, breaks
smooth along one plane. A good field
test for all the tungsten minerals is
first to pulverize the mineral finely
and then boil for Is minutes in hydro
chloric acid. After this boiling drop
a piece Of metallic zinc into the solu-
ton; if the mineral contains tungsten
the solution will turn indigo color.
Sometimes the color is quite light,
nearer violet and soon turns brown
ish.
Scheelite-This mineral varies in
color from nearly pure white to
straw-yellow, reddish-yellow, gray or
greenish-gray. It is quite heavy,
having specific gravity about 6. It is
easily scratched with a knife, breaks
regularly in several directions and
therefore nearly always presents
smooth faces; the hydrochloric acid
test with zinc is easily made with this
mineral and is very characteristic.
Huebnerite - This mineral is US
ually reddish-brown in color; heavy,
specific gravity about the same as
Wolframite (7.2); can be scratched by
a knife, the streak is generally light
brownish-red; H%uebnerite may some-
times be difficult to determine as it is
at times coated with pyrolusite, which
is black in color, or with limonite,
which is brown; in order to obtain the
real color and luster, the mineral
cho,,11 o11ryo VIC bo hroLop or %bo% %ko
fresh unoxidized surface may be seen.
Ferberite-This is a black mineral
but owing to it's being coated often
with iron oxide, it may be brown. It
is slightly heavier than Wolframite
(about 7.5); easily scratched by a
knife; streak jim dark brown to black.
Generally tungsten minerals are
found in granite regions.

A North Dakota editor tells of an
old Indian who came to his office to
subscribe for the paper. The editor
took the money but the Indian want
ed a receipt. The editor tried to talk
him out of it, but the Indian insisted
on getting a receipt. After making
out the receipt the editor wanted to
know why the Indian was so persis-

The Indian said: "Me die some day.

LEGEND OF

THE LEGEND OF
BOASTFUL BILL"
From "Gun and Saddle Leather"
At a roundup on the Oily,
One sweet mornin' long ago,
Ten of US was throwed right freely
BY a hawse from Idaho.
And we thought we'd go a beggin'
Fur a man to break his pride
Till, a hitchin' up one leggin'
Boastful Bill cut loose and chied:
"1'm an onr'y proposition for to hurt;
I fulfill my earthly mission with a
quirt;
l can ride the highest liver
Tween the gulf and Powder river
And I'll break this thing as easy as
I'm flirt.
So Bill climbed the northern fury
And they mangled up the air
Till a native of Missouri
Would have owned his brag was
fair.
Though the plunges KEEP him reelin'
And the wind it tapped his shirt,
Loud above the horses squealin
We could hear our friend assert
"l'm the n to take such rakin's as
a joke;
Some one hand me up the makins' of
bright'nin'
wy I'll rope a streak O. lightnin'
And I'll cinch i'm up and spur. i'm
till he's broke
Then one caper Of repulsion
Broke that hawse's back in two,
Cinches snapped in the convulsion.
Skyward man and saddle flew.
Up he mounted, never laeein.
While we watched him through our
tears,
And his last thin bit of bragein'
Came adroppin' to our ears:
