SINGING MOUSE DIES,

day cat in the house caught q mouse
and while the cat was playing with
the little rodent the latter was heard
TO emit the singing notes that had
previously attracted attention. Her

cat, and if was placed in little cage

dead the other day.
Hundreds Of persons heard the lit,

at other times to hear the mouse

On the subject Of singing MICE. The

following intesesting comment: Much
has been written about the singing
powers Of the mouse, and the fact
thar it docs sing is supported by the
evidence Of perfectly trustworthy wit

of music, but it is not fully determ

it is normal Or is an individual pecu-
laIity Some writer's have gone So

$4,000 AUTO LICENSE
PLATES r ORDERED

With plans for distribution of 80
600 automobile license plates in 1920,
Secretary of State C. T. Stewart is
sending the first carload of plates
throughout the state for motorists.
The second carload of plates is ex-
pected from the factory daily. All
shipments were delayed in the factory
because of labor difficulties and be-
cause of poor quality of metal paint
which was discarded and slowed up
production.
Distribution in the last few years
has increased steadily until the peak
was reached last year with nearly co.
900 plates purchased by motorists in
Montana.
Applications have already been re-
ceived for $4,000 plates for use by
Montanans and with the motor sea-
son opening up it is expected that
the number of applications will in
crease materially in the next few
weeks.
Of the orders received 5000 were
sent out on Monday and it is expected
a similar number will go out on Tues
day.
Secretary of State C. T. Stewart,
registrar of motor vehicles, is plan
ming an intensive campaign in the
next few weeks in an effort to bring
in all applications in a short time. Ev-
cry peace officer in Montana will be
enlisted in the campaign to enforce
the motor registration law, which has
brought material funds for road con-
struction in the state.

1919, the ranges suffered to such an
extent that it will require two years
of normal precipitation to bring them
back to the point where they were
three years ago.
"For the last three years, due to
the high price of grain, many fields
of alfalfa were plowed under and the
acreage devoted to grain. In addition
much of the native pasture was put
under the pillow, and thousands of acres
of native grass land taken from the
pasturage area.
Heretofore, Montana has in years
when the hay crop was short in this
state imported thousands of tons of
alfalfa from Idaho. Due to the prev
alence of alfalfa weevil in that state
a quarantine has been issued by the
governor prohibiting the Importation
after April /. 1920, of alfalfa from
any section of Idaho into Montana.
THE result of the conditions out
lined above is that unless Montana
this year hay and fodder crops,
there will be another shortage of home
grown animal feeds in this state, and
a more or less serious repetition of the

SEED IN
SHERIDAN COUNTY
WON T LOSING

The special election held over in
Sheridan county last week for the
purpose of determining whether or not
that county should issue bonds for the
purpose of purchasing seed grain for
drouth stricken farmers carried by a
substantial majority, says the Balm
vile Tribune. This is the second time
that this matter has come up for a
vote recently, being defeated the first
time.
In the first election the entire east
end and practically the entire county
with the single exception of the SEQ
hey territory went strong against the
bonds but at the last election this or
der was somewhat reversed although
the extreme east end again voted it
down. The portion which is contained
in the proposed new county of Dan
ields, however, saved the day for the
farmers by returning an almost solid
vote for the bonds.
The outstanding feature of the cleo
ton was the sphinx-like silence main
tanned by the socialist sheet over at
Plentywood. This paper took a very
active part in defeating the bonds in
the former election but straddled the
fence in the last campaign and nary
a squawk was heard from them one
way or another.

BY executive order President Wilson
relieved the members of the commits

STINkING SMUT IN WHEAT.

Don't delay in treating spring
wheat for seed for sinking smut"
This is the message of cereal spe-
c~ialists in the United States depart.
ment of agriculture to spring wheat
growers in the northwest, where stink
ing smut or bunt of wheat is prevalent
and annually causes great losses.
Sinking smut of wheat may be pre-
vented readily by treating. the seed
with formaldehyde or with bluestone.
Formaldehyde is very generally used
in the region east of the Rocky noun
tains. In the Pacific coast states blue
stone is more commonly employed, be-
cause it usually gives very much bet
ter results; this is doubtless because
soil infestation OCCURS in that region.
The best method of applying the
formaldehyde solution is by the So
called dipping method" which is as
fellows: Prepare a solution of for
maldehyde, using l pound to 40 gal
lOIlS Ol WdltI. IldCC SOIlS VI tile SU-
luton in a tub or barrel; pour the
grain to be treated slowly into the So
luton, stirring thoroughly, so that
the smut balls and trash may float to
the surface and be SKINNED off. Drain
the solution off from the seed and
pour it out in a pile and cover with
sacks or canvass for 5 to II hours.
Do not allow the seed to remain in the
solution more than 10 minutes. Forty
gallons of the solution is sufficient to
treat 40 bushels of grain. After re-
moving the covers from the grain
spread it out to dry.
1t is necessary to avoid contami-
mating the seed again. 1t must not
be placed in smutty sacks, o sown
with a smutty drill. Sacks, bins, drill,
etc, may be disinfected by washing
thoroughly with a solution of formald-
ehyde of l pound to 10 gallons OF wat
er.

OVERLAND FOUR SETS A
new ENDURANCE MARK
Stock Car, Running "a Hours a Day
for Seven Days, Establishes Rec
ord at Indianapolis.

Driven continuously for seven days
and seven nights, over ordinary su-
burban roadways, an Overland 4 stock
a has established at Indianapolis,
Ind, a new unofficial worlds mile
age record for a light car under 1853
hours of in%cessant driving.
The Overland 4 in the seven days
and nights of this remarkable endur-
ance run piled up a record of 5(452.15
miles. The car finished the grind on
the same Fisk tires with which it
started. To make this new record,
the drivers of Overland 4 maintained
an average speed Of 32h miles an
hour, "a hours a day. Gasoline mile
age was 2O.24 miles a gallon.
The consistency of Overland 4 per-
formance is shown in this tabulation
of each days run The first day and
night, the speedometer registered TAO
miles. On the second day, the mark
was IT'S miles; on the third, TAT miles;
on the fourth, 1893; fifth, 300; sixth,
1923, and on the last lap of the new
unofficial worlds record, 1853 miles.
The test, the first of it's kind to
be tried and actually accomplished by
a light car, started at 8 a. m. on Feb
ruary 25th and ended at 9 a. m. on
March 3rd. The run was conducted
by the Gibson company of 1ndianapo-
lis, distributors for Overland cars.
The mileage and gasoline records are
certified by the following observers:
Howard F. (Howdy) Wilcox, win
ner of the 1919 Indianapolis Speed
way 500 mile racing classic; Munroe
E. Boblet, secretary of the Hoosier
Motor club of indianapolis, and H. R.
Scrogin, editor of the Hoosier Motor
list.
Although the new Overland 4 with
Triplex springs had been tested ESQ.,
900 miles under all possible weather
and road conditions before it was
placed on the market by the WHY'S
Overland Company, the officials of
the company feel that the Indianapo-
lis endurance run is one of the most
convincing demonstrations yet made
of the reliable, economical perform
ance of the car and the road-comfort
qualities of the now famous triplex
spring suspension.
Officials of the company witnessed
the start and the finish of the seven
continuous-day run. Careful exam
ination of the car and it's power plant
after the run convinced the Gibson
company that the car was ready to
repeat the endurance test of the 1913
hours Of furious driving and largely
because the car had been protected
by the new triplex springs. The run
is considered the highest possible ver-
ification Of the ability of this new
spring suspension to protect the car
from road wear and provide big car
riding comfort in a motor car of
short wheel-base.

STARTED TO MAKE
SOME YEARS AGO

On February 10th, at 9 a. m. Ford
son tractor number 100000 left the as
sembly line in the Fordson plant at
Dearborn, Michigan, slightly less than
two and one-half years after number
one was completed. And here again
has Henry Ford set a new high record
in the manufacture of farm tractors
via the quantity production route.
Although the Ford interests are very
recent entrants in the ranks of the
tractor manufacturers, yet Henry Ford
really built a tractor-of steam type
before he started work on his first
gas car. And incidentally, that tractor
and the first car, still in very good
running condition, MI. Ford occasion
ally demonstrates to visitors at his
farm in Dearborn.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. Ford
began work on what has come to be
the Fordson. This tractor was really
a Ford car equipped with special
wheels and included of course some
mechanical changes. By 1908 he had
a workable tractor; it plowed, har-
rowed, and did much other work on
the farm. Then ensued nine more years
of experimental work before the first
tractor was put on the market.
Fordson tractors are now being as
sembled at the rate of $50 daily at
Dearborn, 100 at the St. Louis as
sembling plant, and it is estimated
within a short time the Des Moines
branch will be in operation. There is
also an assembling plant in Cork, Ire
land.
