ROGER BURK NOW IN
CHARGE OF PROMOTER

Roger Burk, former newspaper mar
at Glasgow, Scobey and other points
in this part of Montana, has acquired
the control and now is in charge of
the Wolf Point Promoter. A. l.. Skare
former editor, has severed his con-
n~ection with the publication.
The Promoter was first issued on
March 6, 1919, with the firm name
of Skare & Mann 1T the masthead
Later the firm became Skare &
Whitehead, who continued as owners
until the sale last week.
Mr.. Skare states that his address
will be Wahpeton, N. D. He is a hard
worker and a skillful printer and he
and Mrs. Skare will take with them
to their new home the best wishes of
many friends with. whom The Courier
wishes to be counted.
Until about three years ago Mr.
Burke was connected with the county
offices at Plentywood and was more
or less active in politics. Since then
for a time he was one of the propri.
etors of the Scobey Seminal. He is
known as a good newspaper mar and
a brilliant writer.

Wheat Freight Cut.

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has granted the request the of
the railroads for a reduction of freight
rates on wheat shipments from Chi
cago to New York for export. The
cut amounts to z cents per 100
pounds. 1t is probable that other re-
auctions will be made on grain ship
ments from Mississippi River points
and other cities farther west. The
railroads recognized the insistence of
the farmers that grain rates were too
high, and they also noted an increas-
ed demand from abroad for American
wheat. 1t is believed that with the
new schedules commerce will be slim
ulated, the increased traffic on the
roads will largely compensate for the
loss of revenue due to the lower rates.
and the farmers will receive a sub
s~tantially higher price for their grain

The Silver Lining

Direct tax reductions are not to be
confined to the rich or to big bust
ness. The Ways and Means Com
mittee has determined to increase the
exemption of married men from
$4,000 to $4,000 if they have an in
come of $4,000 or less, and to grant
further exemptions of $500 for each
dependent and minor child instead of
5000 as at present. Those provis-
ions will make direct cuts in the as
sessments of hundreds of thousands
Of taxpayers in their next returns, for
the new exemptions will be retroac-
tive to January l, 1921. Furthermore,
every in the land will be
indirectly benefited by the repeal OF
the excess profits taxes and the high
er rates of surtaxes. Industry will
resume, better labor conditions will
follow, and lower prices will be en-
loved by all.

SILOS REQUIRE
PREPARATION
Should Be Gone Over Before Filling
Useful Hints for the
Farmer.

With the approach of the time for
filling the silo, experts call attention
to the desirability of putting silos in
shape and making plans on filling
which will save valuable time in the
rush of work. Silos are a compare
lively new feature Of farm manage
ment, and in many cases have been
built less substantially than some of
the older forms of farm structures.
Need Occasional Attention.
Even the best constructed silo will
need some attention occasionally,
Concrete silos, which are among the
quire the least attention as a general
rule, but they will give better service
if the inside is given a coat Of spec
ial paint about once in three years,
Paint for treating the interiors OF
silos is easily made of raw coal tar
mixed with gasoline and applied with
a tar brush. The roof should be in
spected to see if it is water-tight,
and the doors may well be looked
over. They need to fit tight.
Wooden silos, either stave or board
construction, require additional at
tention. The hoops of stave silos
should be frightened and any defective
pieces of wood replaced. In wood
silos, particularly the cheaper ones
and those of home make, there is al
ways the likelihood of inlets for air,
which will spoil the silage. If the
silo is so built as to require guy wires.
these should be kept frightened to keep

the building plumb and well braced to
Withstand winds.
Careful attention should be paid to
seeing that the machinery to be used
in harvesting and storing the silage is
in working condition. Corn harvesters
and also silo-filling machinery are
frequently owned in partnership by
several farmers and, of course, ar
engagements need to be made in adj
vance to see that all owners get their
corn in at the season when it is in
best shape. In using the corn har-
vester the bundles should be made
rather small. While this takes more
time, the extra expense is more than
offset by the ease in handling the
bundles and feeding them into the
silage cutter.
The corn ordinarily is hauled to the
cutter on common, flat hayracks. The
low-wheeled wagon is much prefer
able to the high one. An underslung
rack can be constructed with COM
parative ease and will save much
labor. The rack consists of two q
by 6 inch bed pieces, Is or 20 feet
in length, bolted together at the end
to form a V. On top of these timbers
is built a rack 6 feet in width. The
bottom of this rack is about s feet
long. The end boards are 4 feet high,
built flaring so they do not quite
touch the wheels.
The apex of the V is suspended be-
low the front axle of an ordinary
farm wagon by means of a long king
bolt. The other ends are attached be-
low the hind axle by U-shaped clev-
Uses. The materials needed in it's con-
struction are 80 board feet of 4 by 6
inch plank, SO feet of boards l by II
inches, % feet of lumber 2 by 4
inches, one long kingbolt, two stirrup
rods, and bolts and nails.
lift the silage cutter and lifting
machinery have not been selected,
every effort should be made to get
machinery which has sufficient or
excess capacity. The mistake is often
made of getting an outfit that is toe
small, thus making the operation of
filling the silo very slow and inter.
fering with the continuous employ.
ment of the entire force of men. A
of satisfactory silage cutters are on
the market. The chief features to be
considered in a cutter are that it is
strongly made and will cut fine.
Opinions differ as to the fineness te
which silage should be cut. The
length varies from one-fourth to one
inch. The latter is a little too long.
as the pieces do not pack SO closely
in the silo, and they are not so com
pletely consumed in feeding as the
shorter lengths. On the other hand
the longer the pieces the more rapid
ly it can be run through the cutter.
Fine cutting and thorough tramping
are needed if it is desired to make the
best quality of silage and fill the silo
to its greatest capacity.
Two types of elevators are in use
the old-style chain carrier and the
blower. The chain carrier requires
less power but is harder to set up and
makes more litter, especially in windy
weather, though some chain carriers
are so inclosed as to keep the fodder

Costs Less To Go Abroad.

The "See America First" movement
gets a severe jolt from the announce
ment in New York newspapers that
a trip to Europe costs less than a trip
to the Pacific Coast. Perhaps this
differene in favor of seeing Europe
first is due to the fact that the rail
roads are still almost entirely operat-
ed under the direction of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, which
regulates rates, and the Railroad
Labor Board which regulates work
ing conditions. 1t would be interest
ing to see what would happen if the
government would loosen it's grip a

War are asking to be awarded medals.
They r entitled to them, if anyone
is, but when one considers the num-
Der of medals which were dished out
by the Democratic Administration be-

MERCHANTS SUCCESS IMPOS-

reputation as a successful business
man. Therefore, it is not to be Won

The Pledge,

A staff correspondent of the New
York Times, Democratic, writes to
that paper from Washington that
members of the Ways and Means
Commute "want to keep the Repub-
lican platform pledge to reduce
taxes. Now why can't the "Times'
be honest? Here is the exact Ian
guage of the Republican platform
pledge on the subject of reduction OF
taxes:
"In presenting a true statement OF
the situation, we must face the fact
that while the character of the taxes
can and should be changed, an early
reduction of the amount of revenue
to be raised is not to be expected"
The Republican platform empha-
sized the fact that the Republican ad.
ministration would inherit an enor.
NOUS Indebtedness from the Wilson
administration, and that this, with
interest, must be paid, in addition tc
maintaining the various agencies OF

was inferred, but it was specificall!
stated that immediate reduction coult
not be expected. This is the frs
session of Congress since the Repub'
leans came into power, and reduc
ton now would be Immediate" re
duction.

whether the Times is misrepresent'
ing through ignorance or malicious
ness.

JAZZ MUSIC BRINGS
TILT BETWEENL LEGION
AND THE AUXILIARY
w omen Pull Out of
Dance But Men Will
Give 1t Anyway

Jazz music has brought about n
tilt between the members OF the
AMERICAN legion and members OF the
auxiliary Of the ccgion. The blight
tilt over Jazz has causgd the tables
to be turned.
First the auxiliary OF the legion
wished to give n dance at the armory
on the night OF November II. The
auxiliary sought the assistance OF the
legion members. Now everything IN
reversed. Tho legion Ii giving the
dance at the armory on the night OF
November II and the former soldiers
wish the aid OF the auxiliary.
Several members OF the legion at a
recent meeting Htid they understood
that the auxiliary wanted the legion
to arrange for the music at the dance.
The legion members. afcr consentinE
Il IL said. called upon the musicians
union first and the latter, because the
armory In on tho unfair list. refused
to play for them.
The legion then hired the Jazz
orchestra. Then the auxiliary believed
that was not proper either. Thus
the tilt. The auxiliary OF the legion
has decided according to a prominent
legion member not to have anything
to do with the dance.
The legion, being persuaded into
tho proposition by the auxiliary, Is
not going to back down now but un-
aided will give u dance at the armory
Friday night.
