MARINE GUARDS
ON ALL TRAINS
SMALL DETACHMENT SENT TO
THIS STATE TO PROTECT
NAH. FROM ROBBERS

United States marines have been
on duty on the mail trains running
through Montana and at some of the
larger postoffices for several days,
and since they have come no mail
robberies have been committed.
A look around some of the larger
postofftces would convince almost
any one that to attempt robbery there
would be to court sudden and violent
death. Not that there are so many
guards on the job. but they look so
business-like. They greet your smil-
ing advances with a stare that wipes
away your smile, and a watchfulness
that makes YOU wonder what might
happen If they gol the wrong impress
sion. Hence, it seems certain that
it would be very bad luck for any one
who entered with evil design.
The marines are there for a pur-
pose, and if YOU try to talk to them
you will find them about as talka-
tive as deaf mute at funeral.
It's the same at the large railway
stations or with the mail trucks. 4
big motor car will tear down the
street. Lettered along its sides are
the words, United States Mail" A
uniformed driver is at the wheel, and
at either side. standing on the run
ming boards which lead along the
wire cage containing mail sacks, will
be a uniformed marine. And about
the most conspicuous thing about
this marine is his holstered automa-
tic. There's only one thing to do. in
that case: Get out of the way. And,
further, don't try to stop the truck
on any pretext whatsoever. for it is
rumored that the marines pistol i.
loaded.

erly thrash the grain. At II O'clock
in the morning, when the weather
has warmed up and the bundles dried
out. it becomes necessary, with the
whole crew working. to change the
teeth settings. For only an instant
about the same length of time as is
required to stop the motors short
turn OF hand lever does the work
and the thrashing goes on, almost
without a pause in feeding the bun
dies.
Three Sizes of Grain.
That much is claimed for the new
thrashing machine in the saving OF
time and dollars that can be effected
Allowance is made in 1t for three
different sizes Of grain. to handle
which the concaves can be set, with
two. four or six rows of teeth. After
the thrashing is done, the grain is
as nearly clean as it can be; yet the
separator is held to be an important
factor Of this newly invented ma
chine.
Economy OF parts in the manufac-
ture of the new machine it is claimed
means a reduction in cost to the
thrasherman in QUILTING himself
which can be passed on to the farm
er in a lower cost of thrashing. On
the new machine there are no sleeves,
no side elevator, no shoe or grain
augers, all tailings being handled by
the cleaner. The person who is
familiar with a thrashing machine
can readily appreciate the saving
possible through an elimination Of
expensive machinery and parts
There are two cleaners on the sep
arator. and the construction Is such
that there are continuous straw racks
and CHAPTERS in the machine. In the
absence OF belts, chains, gears and
other familiar parts, one needs be
told almost that the machine is a
thrasher intended to do the same
work as any other separator but
much more efficiently and economic
ally.
Field Test Successful
The whole outfit, including cyl
inders. concaves. separator and
cleaner. is Mr.. Owens invention, de-
signed and patented by him in con-
clusion OF II long years of repeated
experiment and trial with attendant
disappointments too numerous to be
recounted. Realization of his hopes
and ambitions, a crystallization of
his dream of many years. Mr.. Owen
believes now is within sight. The re-
cent field test given the machine was
said to have been more than success
full. and demand for it is felt to be
in the immediate offing.

Meetings under the auspices of the

meetings so far held have been in
Valley, Phillips, Blaine and Hill coun-

held in other counties in that part
of the state later in the year. Three
and four meetings were held at Diff

What impressed me most at these
meetings" said Mr.. Greenfield yester-
day, was the interest shown by the
farmers, One would naturally think
after what they have gone through
in the past five years, they would be
ready to quit. But the reverse is the
case. The aggregate attendance at
the 13 meetings was between 1900
and 1000. At Malta there were
about 500 and at the little town Of
Clifford, with about 200 inhabitants,
there were 800, at Nashua some zoo
and other towns in proportion At
each place not less than 95 per cent
of those in the audience were real

1t was this way: The storm
came along while great flocks Of
wild fowl were on the water. Snow
and sleet soon covered them and
froze into an incrustation which
did not permit them the motions
required to fly, run or waddle.
Gunners who didn't understand
took shots at the great flock. but
the shot glanced from the slippery

The entire flock of helpless wild
fowl then was simply picked up.

vOirs With Water for Irrigating
Farms.

Already the plan advocated by w.
r. Crockett and others to accumulate
artificial glaciers has attracted con-
siderable attention among farmers
In the country north Of Red Lodge,
and is being accepted as one of the
possible solutions OF the serious wa
ter shortage which has menaced the
county during the past.
The latest convert to the plan is
Jacob KerO. one of the substantial
farmers living between Roberts and
Fox, and who, with several Of his
neighbors, has been on an exploring
expedition in the Beartooth noun
tains for several weeks in search of
possible reservoir sites that might
be available for water shortage.
It was stated by Mr.. kero that
several sites We're tested, but in each
case the country was found SO steep
that the cost of constructing dams
high enough to store the necessary
amount of water made the cost pro-
hibitive.
The general steepness of the coun-
try does, however, says Mr.. kerO,
make conditions ideal for the artifi-

and there released in spray which
will freeze and pile up an immense
amount of ice during the cold months

Numerous small creeks and can
yOns are available for the accumula-
ton of ice and it is believed that the
scheme might be successfully work
ed out at small expense. kero and
his neighbors are now planning on
starting Immediately to construct a
small pipe line and the necessary
equipment for producing an easily
frozen spray in some Of the creeks
above Red Lodge, that the plan may
be thoroughly tested and used on
larger scale at later date if found
to be successful.

mer following with the clod mulch
system.
The meetings were devoted to
summer following diversification and
crop rotations. For five years the
station at Fort Assiniboine has been
carrying on tests in summer fallow-
ing. depth of blowing, and crop rota-
ton. together with the results from
spring and fall blowing, as we'll as
the use of different implements in
summer following. After five years
certain outstanding facts have been
demonstrated. and Mr.. Morgan told
the farmers about the results, H.
Illustrating his talk with charts. A
striking fact was that the results
as given by Mr.. Morgan. who carried
on the tests. were almost identical
with the results achieved by those
farmers who had worked out a
system OF summer following and crop
rotation which had proved successful.
Can Change Methods
The motto of the meeting was:
We cannot change the climate, but
we can our methods and it was this
change of methods which was the
burden of the talks.
1T also developed al the meet
ings, where the farmers told their
personal experiences as dry land
farmers, that where they had grown
some forage, and all had produced
corn who were successful. and had
a few cows, hogs and poultry, they

drought, cutworms, and grasshop-
