STATE HAS LOANED.
FARMERS $4,2OO,OOO.
LACK OF FUNDS WILL NOT PER-
NIT AS MANY LOANS IN FUT-
URE AS in PAST
Applications Will Henceforth be Act
cd Upon in Order the Abstracts Are
Received; How the School Funds
of Various Classes Are Invested.
Up to November 1 the state board

of land commissioners had made
loans to farmers in Montana aggre-
eating $4,200,000 The report of
Sidney Miller, register of state lands,
on the first of November showed that
there were 65 farm loan applications
ready to close amounting to $117, 600
and on the day that the report was
made there were 20 applications with
abstracts for $4,000. In the past
applications for loans have not been
delayed by reason of lack of funds.
In the future, however, the probable
ity is that all applications will be
acted upon in the order in which the
abstracts are received, and that there
will be delays because of lack of
funds. Loans to farmers are made
out of the common school fund, and
the report of Mr.. Miller shows that
the amount in that fund November /
was $138,833.53. There are a suf-
ficient number Of applications on
hand to take up this amount, and
what %accretions there may be to it
in the near future. The money in
the agricultural college and other
school funds, except the common
school, is used in the purchase of
school bonds. The report shows that
in August, September and October
$4,000 in these different funds
was used for the purchase of school
bonds, and that $246,500 was loaned
to farmers and that about 100000
was used for the purchase of state
warrants.

New Use for Russian Thistle

The despised Russian thistle, the
worry of many a farmer in Montana,
is to contribute to relieve the hous-
ing problem. The thistle, mixed into
clay, will be the filler for blocks to
be used for construction purposes. A
company is being organized at Miles
City to make these clay blocks and
erect dwellings,. The plan is being
used successfully In California, but
chopped hay and straw is used in
stead of thistle in holding the clay
together. The blocks are fireproof
as we'll as proof against the weather.

N. P. GETS BUSY
in BUILDING WEST
MANAGER OF DEVELOPMENT
AND IMMIGRATION DEPART
MENT TALKS
He Is Studying Problems of Various
Sections; Cooperative Method of
Marketing Agricultural Products
Is Winner, He Says; Discusses Dry
Farms.

The bright spots in the west today
are those where marketing of agri-
cultural products has been placed on
a safe basis by cooperative methods,
E. f. Benson, manager of the devel-
Opment and immigration department
of the Northern Pacific railroad said
last week. Benson, who has just be-
gun his new duties, had just return
ed from a three weeks trip of in
vestigation through the western part
of the territory trayersed by the
Northern Pacific. Montana and
states west of it to the coast were
visited.
Berry growing and poultry raising
he said, offer today the great oppor-
~tunities to the man of small means
who wishes to leave the city and
build up for himself an independent
lands of the west.
"The great hope for western devel-
opment lies now in settling the cut
lands and the lands that can
be irrigated" he said. 1.-THE wheat
lands have all been taken up long
ago. Under their cooperative mar
methods western berry grow
ers are prosperous this year, while
those who have raised other agricul-
tural crops have been suffering from
the marked price declines.
The wages paid in the cities during
the past few years have drawn heav-
lily from the farms, but I look for a
back to the land as war
time Industrial activity lets down and
the heavy buying of the postwar pc
riod passes into the q~uieter period
are 10Y experiencing in all lines
of industry"
Western dry farms, he said, can
not be successful if the farmer insists
on combining himself to the raising
of small grains. For success on such
lands, he said, there must be a
scientifically diversified agriculture,
with a good deal of dependence on
livestock raising. He pointed to the
abundant crops of forage and hay
have been raised this year.
Benson said there are 5000, 900
acres of cutover lands In western
Washington and Oregon of which
about one-half can be used success
July in agriculture. Ownership of
land, he said, is distributed
among lumber companies, individ-
lals, and the states themselves.
In the spring Benson and members
IF his staff will make a similar tour
inspection covering northern Min
lesota, North and South Dakota and
eastern Montana. /

nent, on the first floor of the North

icultural products of the states ira

should remove p~rOtruding nails or
anything else that would injure the
stock that is to be shipped, but the
shipper must not u that the
railroad has done its duty nor must
he assume that the door fasteners,
floor patchings and other parts of the
car are in acceptable condition.
Loading should be done early enough
so that it will not be necessary to
hurry hogs up or down steep chutes.
Some of the animals are likely to be
injured. Driving hogs in hot wea-
Their is likely to result seriously. Do
not throw cold water on the back of
an oyerheated hog. A fine spray
may be thrown on its belly or the
floor may be sprinkled. Hot hogs
can wallow in water without injury
but the chilling effect of dashing
water on their backs is likely to
prove fatal. Hogs that are not and
painting should not be loaded into
cars because they are likely to suffo-
cate. A bruised or crippled hog is
a loss to the shipper unless he can
make someone else pay for it. FIRE.
~quently the expense of collecting
damages is greater than the value of
the animal. Precautions may avoid
the loss of the animal and the ne
cessity for collecting damages. Grip
pies discovered when stock is fed or
watered in transit, should not be re-
loaded. Shippers should refuse to
use pens paved with mud or chutes
that are dangerously steep.
Producers will do well to cooper
ate with the packing and commission
interests in this campaign. The pro-
Queer is directly concerned because
losses from this source are borne by
him direct and he can we'll afford to
take the precautions which will rea-
sonably insure that the animals reach
market in good condition.

MONTANAN IS KING
OF REFRIGERATION
PENWELL OF HELENA HAS DE-
VELOPED NEW TRANSPORTA-
TION COOLING SYSTEM
Is Being Used by Many Big Railroads
and Other Transportation Con-
Germs; Will Be Used Largely on
Ships and Fishing Boats, 1t is Pre-
dicted.

Lewis Penwell of Helena, formerly
active in the livestock industry of
Montana, bids fair to become the ra-
pid transit refrigeration king of
America, if not of the world, through
his development of the A. B. c.. Rapid
Transit Refrigeration company of
Chicago, of which he is the head.
The new refrigeration system de-
veloped by Penwell and his associates
is based on brine circulation. All of
the big railroads of the country and
scores of ocean transportation COM
panies are beginning to investigate
Penweli's plan, and many of them
have already equipped part of their
refrigerator cars with the A. B. G.
system.
A representative of the A. B. c..
Rapid Transit Refrigeration company
is now in Canada, at the request Of
the traffic officials of the two Cana
dian transcontinental railway sys-
tens, closing negotiations as a re-
suit of which a large number of the
refrigeration equipments will be
ordered for those lines, according to
Penwell, who was in Helena last
week, calling on his associates. Pen
we'll was On route from Chicago to
Portland, Ore, at which place, by in
vitation, he will address the national
convention of ice cream dealers on
the advantages of the A. B. c.. refrig-
Grafton for motor delivery trucks.
Adapted to Fishing Boats
While on the west coast, Penwell
will visit Seattle, Los Angeles and
other deep sea fishing ports, in res
ponse to inquiries received from the
of fishing fleets who desire
demonstrations of the new refrigera-
ton. The A. B. G. system is peculiar
II we'll adapted to fishing boats, as
the brine circulation is based upon
the natural movement of a boat caus-
ed by the action of the waves, by the
rule that makes it an ideal sys-
for railroad and motor cars.
Penwell is confident of opening up
big field for the A. B. G. system on

ARE
in NEED OF HELP
DIR. w. J.. BUTLER, STATE VET
ERINARIAN, TALKS ON THE
CATTLE INDUSTRY
Financial Help From National Finan-
ciers Should be Extended through
Local Banks, He Asserts; Montana
Ranges will Support 100000
Cattle.

DR.. w. J. Butler, state v~eterinar-
ian said last week that the ranges of
this state were capable of caring for
2,O00,O 900 head of cattle and that at
present only a small number more
than one million is now feeding in
the state. In speaking generally of
the cattle industry, DR.. Butler said
that the cattle in Montana were now
entirely free from contagious or in
fictitious diseases. He said that while
the state had always been noted for
its healthy cattle that since the crea-
ton of the livestock sanitary board,
diseases among the cattle had dis
appeared altogether.
If the industry in the state is to
grow, as it should, DR.. Butler is of
the opinion that financial help to cat
tie growers is needed through the To-
cal banking institutions. In discuss
ing this DR.. Butler said:
sit is absolutely imperative for ma
tional %financiers to realize that local
bankers and only local bankers are
thoroughly conversant with the sit
uation in the real stockgrowing COM
munities of the west.
although the livestock industry
has received a setback, and it needs
attention now, there is no reason for
to fear that it will not pay
out. Montana is slowly coming back
to stock production.
Because of so much agitation,
many have the idea that this is a bad
year for cattle, and that they are bad
loans. With proper readjustment
and a correct understanding of con-
ditions, livestock loans will be as
good in the future as they have been
in the past. One thing necessary in
this is readjustment to a proper cor
relation between production and SELL
ing prices. There must be some con-
troll wherein the producer of live
stock will be assured a fair profit,
when they load their stock on the
cars. Unfortunate curtailment of
summer range and increased labor
have made the cost of cattle |
production greater than receipts"

One hundred and forty carloads
of Flathead valley potatoes have
been shipped this season from Kalis-
pell by the Northwest potato ex-
change. according to statements of
officials, and there are approximate
ly 100000 pounds Of potatoes on
the floors of the new potato ware
house at the present time. The
storage bins Of the warehouse are
filled with potatoes which are being
held by growers until the market is
more favorable, when they car be
shipped at q days notice.
Two carloads of "Flathead Aristo-
Gratis" are being loaded out daily con-
signed to the Great Northern dining
car service, where they will appear
on the tables of the dining cars as
big baked potatoes. They are all
over IA ounces in weight and are
packed for shipment in crates in
stead of the customary sack.
In addition to handling potatoes,
the exchange has shipped out several
carloads Of apples, plums, prunes,
peaches and other fruits, besides ham
ding 10000 pounds of cabbage.
The night shift put on two weeks
ago is still maintained and the rush
of incoming potatoes and the loading
of outgoing shipments has diminish
ed but little. The potatoes have all
been dug, but many have been put
in pits and are now being hauled to
the warehouse as fast as possible.

A black bear Of the Nyack region
near Kalispell has the old original
way of fishing and is successful, &C
cording to John O'Conner, a home
steader and park guard. He says he
watched this bear while she stood
in a creek and caught all the white
fish she and her hungry cub wanted.
The bear was a graceful fisherman,
too, in addition to being able to pull
them out with her claws in quick
order.

MEMPHIS, Mo-, Sept. 1.-THE
Missouri annual conference Of the

subject 1.-THE Wonders OF Chr1st1an-
ity."
The bishop spoke very feelingly or
the preachers that died during the
year. He said they were not dead,
but have just begin to live. The pain
of life is but a minute, the reward
is for eternity, he said.
| There were four that died last year

RECITALS
The Edison Recital.

One of the most unique and thor
oughly pleasing recitals ever given in
Keokuk was presented last evening at
t the Grand Opera house by Miss Davis
and Miss Fagen The recital was an
artistic success in every respect, and
Odell's is to be congratulated for Sc
curing these capable and charming ar
lists for an appearance here.
When Mrs Osborne appeared on the
stage and stated that Miss Davis
would sing in unison with her re-
created voice and that the audience
would not be able to tell the difference
between re-created and living voice,
many persons were skeptical. At
tempt to match that glorious voice
with a device of mere wood and
metal! Impossible! The sketics
were soon convinced, however, for, in
Miss Davis initial number on the pro-
gram, her lips ceased to move, but
her song went on. Slowly it dawned
on the mystifed audience that Miss
Davis was no longer singing, though
her voice came forth as clear and
sweet as before. Again, she sang,
but the audience only knew 1t was the
living Miss Davis by the motion of
her lips. 1t. seemed as if there were
two artists on the stage-two singers,
but only one voice. The tones eman-
ting from the new Edison were identi-
cal with those of the living artist,
and it was impossible to detect any
difference. The instrument produced
not an echo or copy, but the real
thing-Miss Davis voice, untainted
by any mechanical Transformations
unspoiled by any metallic ring.
After the applause which followed
this miracle" exhibition, Miss Pagan
and Mr.. Osborne shared the stage
with their fellow musician, the new
Edison. They played and sang in
unison with the recreation of their
art Only by watching them could
one know when the living artists were

young lady barely touched upon the
subject OF restringing the beads should
the string which held them together
take sudden notion to part company

wiped their sticky faces and assem-
bled them as best could and put 'em
in covered box. I applied next day
for dental floss, the material on which
they are strung, and the same ex-
quisite young lady undertook to in
struct me in the art OF restringing
pearl beads. First, she said, I must
tie one end in such and such man
ner, then I must double back and work
in such and such manner. No l
couldn't use needle but must quirk
my thread into a stiffness sufficient
to poke. Then must tie my thread
in such and such manner. After
that must graduate each bead. After
