Strange Angle
of Honor System
Comes to Light

A strange angle OF the honor system
among conylcts came TO light today at
the capitol ground, prison camp.
Three men, Ace Foley, Frank lmpSon
and Bob Wilder were convicted about
year ago on charges Of stealing horses
from Davis & Younger OF Oklahoma
City. These men went TO the peni-
Tertiary, became honor men and were
assigned to the crew that is grading the
state house grounds
When the crew came here Il was
necessary to obtain teams and scrapers
from them and the state made arrange
ments with Davis & Younger for the
hire of the equipment Now each of
the men convicted of stealing horse,
from Davis & Younger is entrusted
with the care of team belonging to
that company.

YOUR
The Business Side of Home Buying

The price of building materials has not gone up nearly
proportionate to the average mans earning power and
the prices of other things. The money you earn today
will come to buying home than would the money
earned two years ago in the same length of time.
So correct to say that the price of homes has
gone up Consider the effort you had to put forth two
three years ago to home, and the amount
qured and you will that homes really cheaper
Secondly real esatevaues are going to increase after
the war. History shows that during the Civil War no
body would buy vacant lots but after the establishment
of peace the demand for property went steadily upward
This has been the history of all and shows what
will happen in this country when the present warisover
Buy your home and you not only have the use Of
it but you have something that will later be worth
to you than you paid for it. Later if you think you'd
rather have the money than the home you can make
profit on your investment
When you can buy home right now, use it as long
you like and then if you DESIRE sell it for than you
paid, is there any good reason why you should any
longer go without this necessary adjunct to human hap

OPEN OFFICE TO DISTRIBUTE
SIS, 000, 900 TO AID FARMERS
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Will Have Charge of Great
Falls Headquarters

Great Falls.-G. /. Christie, assis-
tant to Secretary of Agriculture Hous-
ton, has arrived here and opened a
suite of offices in the federal build
ing, from which he will dispense the
S5,0OO,000 fund made available through
President Wilson. The money will
be disbursed in amounts not exceed
ing $500 and at the rate of SO an
acre to the farmers in the burned
out districts of Montana and North
Dakota. Meetings will be hello in all
the Montana counties from which there
were no crops this year and also at
Minot and Bismarck, n. D.
Besides the county agricultural
agents, Mr.. Christie will be assisted
by staff of six from the office of
the secretary of agriculture at Wash
ington, and three or four from the
Montana agricultural college at Boze-
man. The office here will be open
six weeks, and if the proposed aid for
the farmers is approved by congress,
the office will remain open indefinite
Iy. The available aid is only for the
winter planting.

Ribbons for Prizes.
Experience has proved that the
awarding of money prizes not only
makes the cost of a fair prohibitive,
but, by placing the emphasis on money
instead of on the honor of achieve
ment, defeats the purpose of the fair.
The best results have been obtained
where ribbons have been awarded, the
color of the ribbon denoting the grade
of the prize. If money is available
for printing the ribbons, each one
should be so printed as to show the
occasion, place, and date. Awards
should be made ON the basis of the
excellence of the exhibit, and no pre-
MUM should be awarded to a poor
exhibit. Accordingly, for the informa-
ton of exhibitors, it is well to publish
for each class of exhibits the require
ments that are to be considered by the
judges in awarding premiums.
The arrangements of county fairs
are beginning to realize the value of
the community exhibit as a factor in
making the county fair serve its pur-
pose as an agricultural exhibition.
Liberal premiums have been offered
for these community exhibits, either
in cash or in such form as to be of
use, as, for example, ref
erence books on agricultural subjects
to be kept in the community library,
trough conveniently located,
Or drinking fountain. One state has
passed law providing for
the holding of community fairs and
appropriating money for the purpose
Of packing community exhibits and
them to the larger fairs.

Honey in Place Of Sugar.

The simplest way Of using honey Is
to serve it like jam or strip with
bread, breakfast cereals, boiled rice,
pancakes, and other mild-fiavored
foods. AS ordinarily used on bread,
an ounce of honey spreads" as many
slices as an ounce of jam. When it
is to be used in the place of sirup
some people dilute it by mixing it
with hot water, which has the effect
of making it not only less sweet but
also easier to pour.
Honey or mixture of honey and
sugar sirup can be satisfactorily used
for sweetening lemonade and other
fruit drinks. Sirup of any kind is
more convenient for this purpose than
undissolved sugar, and when charged
water is to be added 1t has a further
advantage, since it has less tendency
to expel the gas.
The fact that honey consists prfn-
cipally Of sugar and water and II
slightly acid suggests that 1t Is Z suit.

1. Produce clean milk and cream.
Cool the cream Immediately after it
comes from the separator. Clean and
sterilize all utensils.
2. Ripen or sour the cream at from
o5 degrees to IS degrees F. until mildly
sour. Always use a thermometer in
order to know that the right tempera-
ture is reached.
3. Cool the cream to churning tenn
perature or below and hold at that
temperature for at least two hours be-
fore churning.
4. Use churning temperature-usu-
ally between 81 degrees and Sc de-
grees F.-that will require 80 or 40
minutes to obtain butter.
5. Clean and scald the churn, then
half fill it with cold water and revoIve
until churn is thoroughly cooled, after
which empty the water.
6. Pour the cream into the churn
through a strainer.
Z. Add butter color-from 20 to 35
drops to a gallon Of cream-except
late in the spring and early in the
summer.
s. Put the cover on tight; revolve
the churn several times; stop with
bottom up and remove stopper to per-
NIT escape of gas; repeat until no
more gas forms.

the same temperature. Use the Their

lures. Put one-half the water into
the churn with the butter.
II. Replace the cover and revolve
the churn rapidly a few times, then
