BUT YOU REALLY CAN'T BLAME TIE DRIVERS FDR THEIR KIDDING" ,"

What will the stock tourist jokes be Tor the coming season This is a ques- ton which is receiving consideration from hotel clerks, ticket agents, stage drivers and others who come into con tact with that class of people who make travelling for pleasure and informa- ton business. Those who cater to the tourist are constantly bombarded with thousands of questions which have brought about some famous re torts. Others have learned of witty answers and have applied them to their own use until the past season jokes have become common property, but the originator is generally given credit.
 To Tex Butler, stage driver over the Apache Trail, is credited this one:
 A school teacher from Boston rode in the front seat with Tex as he was making his trip from Globe to Phoenix He began asking questions the moment he crawled into the seat beside the driver. With academic craving for de- tails, he refused to be satisfied with general answers to his questions, but demanded facts and figures concerning practically every point of interest along the scenic highway Other pas sengers of the car who desired in tractive places were completely cut ofI by the insistent schoolmaster.
 Near Fish Creek there is a white surveyors monument in a conspicuous place on the hill. As he passedsit. But Ter slowed the car, removed his hat for a moment and gazed soberly at the monument.
 ..Ah. that monument" exclaimed the man from Boston. T notice you pay your respects to it. What is the sig nificance of that white slab on wonder hill2''
 Tex turned upon the schoolmaster with a mournful expression.
 "One of the former stage drivers is buried beneath that white slab on yon- der hill," he explained.
 "Ah, perhaps some fatal battle with bandits, or a collision. Or it is possible he lost control of his automobile and plunged over the precipice ?"
 No, mo-" Tex replied mournfully. You are wrong, my friend. His death

was more horrible than any you have mentioned. He was talked to death by a tourist
 Joe Thompson, another stage driver over the Apache trail, introduced inter est for the tourists by pointing out markers along the trail
 "On your left" Joe would tell his passengers, you will see markers as we pass along this trail which show the number of Indians killed at that spot Markers on the right show the number of white men who met their death during some battle in that par ticular place. This highway is the Apache trail and is marked with blood from beginning to end. Almost every mile of the road has markers showing some battle which was fought between the whites and the Indians"
 Their interest aroused, the tourists would generally point out each marker and note the number in excited voices.
 There is where 30 white men fell" one would exclaim, while another would call attention to the spot where 15 Indians "bit the dust" But the

The lower spring absorbes the shock while the upper spring controls the rebound, and coun- teracts the tendency to throw the body upward.

SCARCE AND
VERY HIGH In MONTANA

! Green vegetables are scarce and
expensive in Montana this spring.
Carrots and beets which should be
plentiful are scarce in all the cities,
and some days they are not to be had
at all. Tomatoes are much the same.
Asparagus is to be had at about 35
cents bunch, the prices fluctuating
from day to day. Head lettuce is a
bit more plentiful and less expensive.
But many housewives claim that they
find it still much cheaper to buy the
canned vegetables, although the
fresh green things are tempting.
And fresh fruits are worse than
vegetables, they say. Oranges run
as high as 81 a dozen. Strawberries,
35 cents box and in box only
about enough for one plentiful help
ing. Even rhubarb is expensive, 35
cents for two pounds, and then it
takes so much sugar to cook it. And
sugar is soaring in price, which
means, of course, that the prunes
and dried fruits that SO many house
wives fall back on when fresh fruits
are prohibitive in price, are also an
expensive dish.

STATES RIGHT TO
BUILD ELEVATOR
SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS THE
CONSTITUTIONALITY OF TER
MINAL ELEVAOR ACT
Injunction on Sale of Bonds Was
Brought by e. II. Lyman to Test
the Legality of the Act; Court Says
Legislature May Establish Institu-
tion for Public Good.

| In a decision rendered a few days
ago the state supreme court upheld
the constitutionality of the act of the
legislature of this state in providing
for the issuance and sale of $250,000
in bonds for the erection of a ter
minal elevator at Great Falls. The
opinion of the court was written by
Associate Justice Mathews.
The bonds for the erection of the
elevator were advertised for sale
during January by the state board of
examiners, but no bids were receiv-
ed. The board then decided to make
another call for bids, and when the
advertisements were published E. F.
Lyman brought an injunction suit in
the supreme. court to test the legal
ity of the act. In view of the deci-
sion of the court it is thought the
board of examiners will readvertise
the bonds within short time.
Wide Power
In it's opinion, the court decides
that the legislature in it's discretion
may establish any institution it
deems for the public good. 1t de-
clares the language of the constitu-
ton is broad enough to include any
sort of an institution. On this point
the court says:
Section 1 of Article X of the con-
stitution declares educational refor-
matory and penal institutions and
those for the benefit of the insane,
blind, deaf and mute, soldiers home
and such other institutions as the
public good may require, shall be es-
tablished and supported by the state
in such manner as may be prescribed
by law. This language is broad
enough in it's scope to include any
sort of an institution which the .legis-
ature may determine the public good
requires. Therefore, whether the
authority of the legislature to estab-
ish and provide for the support of
my public institution by the state is |
% be found in this clause of the con-
'titution or in its general police |
power, there can be no doubt that it
Exists"

i that the winter crop is moving along
nicely and that there is going to be
large spring acreage seeded, though
not SO large as the crop of 1919.
Mr.. Meier's department places the
winter acreage at 425,000 acres and
the April report showed its condition
83 per cent of normal 1t probably is
somewhat better than that now. He
estimates that the final total on the
spring wheat will show about 1,150,-
600 acres, which is considerably less
than 1919.
He says there appears to be plenty
of spring wheat seed but there is a
shortage of seed oats and barley

ly by the wet weather of April, he
says they are making the best of the
weather of recent weeks and are now
very busy with their crops.
