known as the Farmers Store for the

The firm of Ingvalson & Company
is composed of a Mr.. Peterson Of
Minneapolis, Mr.. Christensen, the we'll
known and leading merchant of Red
stone, and Mr.. 1ngvalson, a very
prominent merchant of Crosby, N. D.,
who has been very successful r1er-

All of the members of the firm of

OF the west, and demonstrates that
these business men still have great
faith in the future prosperity of
northeastern Montana, who realize
that after the lean will come many
fat years, and are going to be pre-
pared to reap the harvest when it
comes.
The faith of the new firm in this
section Of the country and in Plenty

it will put in a fifty thousand dollar
stock and will be prepared to show
complete line Of ladies' and gentle
mems clothing and furnishings and a
large line of dry goods and shoes be-
sides carrying a large stock of gro
ceries and provisions.
This firm will make a bid for the
business of this section of the coun-

FIGHT TO FINISH IS-ON.

The following article taken from
the Opheim Observer indicates that
the farmers of the north half of VAL
ley county are getting busy and that
there promises to be a merry f1ght
The great question seems to be which
will it be, DanielA or Bench county?
1t is rumored on the street that
the Bench county promoters have
employed B. X. Wheeler to represent
them at the cou1 7 division meetinr

1t is also rumored that a great
many of: the farmers in the proposed
Daniels county are opposing the divi-
sion.
The prospects now seem bripht for
splendid fight between the Daniels
county forces and the Bench county
promoters.
The opheim Observer reads as fol-

Falls Power Company, in the manner
provided by law, as herein directed" !"
The above, which is the concluding
paragraph of the decision of the Su-
preme Court of Montana, is sufficient
to prove conclusively the sweeping
victory achieved in the uphill fight
which has been waged by Attorney
General Ford to compel the Montana
Power, Company to pay taxes on
$50,000,00O worth of revenue produc-
ing property which Gov. Stewart, Sec
retary of State Stewart and State
Treasurer Hart as a majority of the
State board of equalization have re-
fused to assess.
Of course the fight is not won,
and it puts the three members of
the board in hole All of them
have gone on record as having re-
fused to assess "intangable property"
because to do so would be illegal.

Ford that intangible property should

mony, and who apparently was in
neys for the Power Company.

In plain English. the court held ::
that the proper method to pur- '.

TAKE MOVIES" OF APPLE
INDUSTRY IN STATE

The Bureau of Plant Industry, Penn
sylvania Department Of Agriculture, as
moving picture producer, concluded
work for the season last week with
filming of apple scenes in Franklin
and Adam counties.
The Bureau in the Spring, started
an extensive movie" which would
show Pennsylvania apple industry
in all it's ramiications. The film will
later be used in educational work
among the fruit growers of the State.
The pictures taken last week show
various methods of picking, grading,
and storing the apples. While the film
is partially completed, additional pic
lures will be taken next spring and
summer and the film, in its entirety
will be completed in the fall Of 1921.

Low Pitch VS..
High Pitch

By Walter Lewis
There IS an enormous mass OF dis
satisfaction everywhere regarding the
present unsettled condition OF band
pitch. In the case OF orchestra the
question has long since been settled in
favor Of low pitch for all orchestras
except those few which do an exclus-
lively dance business, for which high
pitch is undoubtedly preferable; but
among the bands the question is unde-
cided, so much so that q promineu,
clarinetist remarked 10 me one day: =
nearly always take both high and low
pitch with me when filing an out-of-
town engagement, for if is very seldom
indeed, that a leader, when engaging
me thinks to specify the pitch used"
While this makes no difference TO the
up-to-date brass instrument player, who
usually has an Instrument which can al
most instantly be adjusted TO high or
low pitch, it IS vast handicap to the
reed instrument player, who IS obliged
to have separate instrument for each
pitch, by reason OF its construction.
The question OF band pitch cannot al
ways be decided without reference to
other conditions. For instance, if an
orchestra IS connected with the band
and that orchestra uses low pitch. the
band must do the same. else those Dlay-
ers who are members OF both organiza-
tons often find themselves in
dilemma. And while il IS more or less
essential that such band should use
low pitch, it by no means follows that
low pitch is best for band purposes, or
that band which is located in some
vvfiizOa
or high-class musicians. should procure
a set OF low pitch instruments
Here is point that is often lost
sight OF: Almost any high pitch brass
instrument can be altered to low pitch
IN lew moments, without expense; Blu,
low pitch instruments cannot be altered
to high pitch except by returning them
TO the factory in which they were made
and mourning considerable expense.
do not mean to say that an instrument
made in high pitch will always be as
good in low pitch as one which was
purposely so made, although my expe-
rience has been that If the maker OF the
instrument knew his business only an
expert, and q very wise one at thar.
could tell the difference. To be sure,
ones valve slides must be in good work
ing order, for each must be drawn TO
a certain definite extent; but as the dif-
ference between the two pitches IS less
than 4 half-tone, no fears need be en-
tertained regarding the length OF any
OF the slides-all will be sufficiently long
for the purpose. Ii I owned high
pitch brass instrument, and had to
change to low pitch, I would not pur-
chase new instrument unless the old
one was nearly worn out. l would sim
ply have a set OF longer slides made.
that's all, and would then have two
horns in one.

BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS INFEcTs
mULTlTUDEs OF HUMAN BEINGS.

Twenty per cent Of the human tuber-
culosis in Pennsylvania is traceable
directly to bovine infection This
/ rather startling information has been
| furnished the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry, Pennsylvania Department OF
Agriculture, by the Health Department
Of the State.
The Bureau Of Animal Industry.
through its accredited herd plan, under
State and Federal supervision, is
eliminating the tuberculous COW from
the diaries Of Pennsylvania as rapidly
az possible According to DR.. T. Z.
Munce, chief of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, however, the greatest pos
sible progress can only be made
through the cooperation Of the dairy
men Of the State. The doctor points
ont that not only is the tuberculosis
COW poor investment for the farmer
from an economic standpoint, but that
it constitutes menace to the health
Of the community, even TO the health
Of the dairyman and the members Of
his family.
Pennsylvania has eight hundred
herds that are either accredited or
under inspection but with the CO.
operation Of the farmers this number
can be rapidly multiplied within the
next few years.
At the conference on bovine tubercu-
Iosis eradication work, held at the
University of Pennsylvania recently
and attended by officials from a dozen
surrounding States, it developed that
the methods pursued by the Bureau
Of Animal Industry of Pennsylvania
are in the main superior to those
pursued by our neighbors, the only
weak link in the chain being the slow
ness Of the farmers in some sections
of the State TO cooperate.
