e Finds Snoring Costly Habit.

" A Brooklyn mans snore is costing
him $4,000 because he has to take ii
to Europe with him. The snore is SO
powerful that he has found it neces-
sary, if his wife was to get any sleep.
to occupy a, room far apart, from hers,
in his large residence. The couple are
planning a Mediterranean tour and
the husband had to arrange for sepa-
rate stateroom accommodations, for
his wlfe's comfort, J; so she might

TRAILS IN GLACIER
BETTER THIS YEAR

Tourists to Glacier park this year
are finding roads and trails at the
park in better condition and r see
ing the park in a more beautiful con-
dition than it has been since 1917, ac-
cording to word received at the Great
Northern offices in Great Falls. Fish
ing has improved to a great extent and
the weather is ideal. according to the
announcement. he following was re-
ceived from H. A. Noble, general man
ager Glavier Park Hotel Co.:
Roads and trails were never in bet
er condition and Glacier park is more
beautiful this year than at any sea-
son since 1917. The mountain sides
are covered with wild flowers in
greater profusion than ever. The
fishing in Two Medicine and Many
Glacier region is the best / have
ever seen. A 19-pound mackinaw
trout was caught in st. Mary's lake a
few days ago and a nine-pound rain
bow in Two Medicine. One party
caught "a mountain trout in Two
Medicine in two hours last Tuesday.
Another party Of four caught IA cut
throat in Josephine lake the day be-
fore. Trout are rising to the fly
freely. Many young people have gone
on walking trips and horseback bust
ness shows a decided increase over
last year. Cool weather has prevailed
and the days have averaged from 60
to IS above, while the nights have
ranged from As to 80 degrees"

GOOD CROPS IN MONTANA

A personal investigation of crops
and land values in the northeastern
part of Montana was made by Ed
ward Kostlan, of Scotland, S. D., who
was accompanied by ]. P. Sternhagen,
of the S. j. Rumble company. The tour
of inspection was made in an automo-
bile.
Crops in Montana were the most
promising Mr.. kostlan saw on the
tour. A wheat yield of from twenty
to forty bushels to the acre is pro-
duced on this dry land. The quality
of the soil nea Glasgow, Mont, is ex-
c~eptionally fine, he said. :.
Driving through the Milk River val
ley, the new irrigation project COM
pleted by the general government was
investigated. "This irrigation dam is
n of the finest in the United States,
said Mr.. kostlan. THE valley at that
point is from three to five miles wide,
being fine, level land, deep soil and
the finest grass land. An improved
ranch was inspected where several
hundred of alfalfa was ready for
the second cutting.
Il am so well impressed with the
country that it is my inten-
ton to dispose of my realty holdings
and move to the Milk river valley,
land is much cheaper than in
the middle west and larger yields of
wheat a be grown, said Mr.. Kost-
Ian.-Sioux City Tribune.

CROP
BUREAU JOINED

AS provided by an act of Congress,
the Bureau of Markets and the Bureau
of Crop Estimates of the United States
Department of Agriculture were COM
bined and became an organization July
l. The new bureau is now known as
the Bureau of Markets and Crop Esti-
mates.
Preparations for the merging of
these two important branches of the
department have been going forward
for several months past, and the
change was effected without any pre-
ceptible interruption in the business
of either organization. Leon M. Esta-
brook, who had been chief of the Blu
reau of Crop Estimates since 1913,
was transferred April to the Bureau
of Markets as associate chief in order
that he might study the personnel OF
both bureaus and work out ways and
means of combining the two to elimin-
ate any possible duplication of work.
In combining the two units of the
department careful plans have been
made for the future development of
the new bureau, so that it a be of
the greatest benefit to the producers
and marketing agencies throughout
the country. 1t will work with farm
organizations that need Federal aid
in securing dependable crop and mar
ket news and information on supply
and demand.
Following the resignation of George
Livingston, who has been head of the
Bureau of Markets since 1915, DR.. H.
c. Taylor. Chief of the Office of Farm
Management, has been appointed by
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace.

WOOL GROWERS
URGED TO COME

The Montana railroad commission
is mailing out a letter to all WOO
growers in Montana urging attend.
ance upon the hearing to be held ir
Helena on August 10 by the inter
state commerce commission to inquire
INTO the matter of the application of
the carriers to put into force a reduced
rate of S1.35 per cwt. on wool in the
grease from North Pacific coast ter
mlnals to eastern markets.
The Montana commission asks all
growers to submit what data they
may have in their possession on the
matter of rates. 1t is the intention
of the state commission to protect the
growers of Montana so far as possi-
BILE by asking the interstate commerce
commission to receive evidence as to
the reasonableness of rates from in
termediate or intermountain points to
eastern market points.
The carriers base their application
for the proposed reduction upon the
ating through the Panama canal. Ac-
cording to the letter of the Montana
the carriers at the same
time aver that the present rates at
intermediate points are no shigher than
reasonable rates"
The board says in its letter that
it is firmly of the opinion that there
is no ground for argument in favor
Of lower rates on the same commodity
for the entire haul from Seattle to
than from Helena to Boston,
though the Seattle rate is pre-
licted upon water competition.

NO TYPE OF ROAD BEST:
TRAFFIC NEEDS DIFFER

No effort has been made to encour-
age the construction of any particular
type of road in the Federal-aid pro-
jects administered by the Bureau of
Roads of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The legal re-
quirement that the roads shall be
Substantial in character" has not been
interpreted to mean that only the most
expensive types of roads should be
built. 1t has been recognized that the
heavy and expensive construction
which is necessary in New York, Mas
sachusetts, and Pennsylvania is not
suitable or warranted for the less eX-
acting traffic of Nevada, Idaho, and
the Dakotas.
There is a suitable type of road for
every type of traffic. Granite blocks
are best around wharves and freight
depots; country thoroughfares need to
be better than rural side roads, lightly
travelled. A number of other consid-
erations have influenced the choice of
type in many cases. 1t is frequently
found that suitable materials may cost
less than better materials imported
from a distance; approval of the use
OF local materials is not i~nfrequently
given LOT the purpose OF encouraging
local production. In parts of the far
West the entire absence of water along
a right of way, and the expense of
keeping an adequate supply, often
makes it necessary to approve the
building of a type of construction that
a be built without using large guam
titles of water.
The initial decision as to the type
OF a particular roads is made by the
State highway department. The Bu-
reau of Public Roads makes an indie
pendent study of the conditions. The
most suitable type of road in the .judg-
ment of the engineers of the State de-
partment and of the Bureau of Public
Roads is finally decided upon. The
earth, sun-clay and gravel roads which
make up &c per cent of the mileage
have cost only about one-fourth of the
Federal-aid funds used, while the
higher types, including cement con-
crete, brick, and bituminous concrete
have called for 60 per cent of the
money to build "a per cent of the
mileage. lIYE0

FARMS ARE THE
BONUS NOW OFFERED

On September 9th, 222 farms will
be opened to homestead entry by SOL
diers of the World War, on the North
Platte Irrigation Project, Wyoming,
and one week later, September 10th,
81 farms will be thrown open under
the Shoshone Project in the same
state About 10000 acres of land are
included in the two openings. For
sixty days no n but soldiers OF the
World War will be permitted to make
filings on these farms.
North Platte Project Lands.
A decade e the lands now includ-
ed in the North Plate project were a
vast range occupied by nomadic herds
of cattle, but National reclamation has
wrought a marvellous change in that
section. The landscape is now dotted
with hundreds of prosperous farm
homes, and a hundred thousand acres
are producing valuable crops of alfal-
ia. sugar beets, corn and potatoes.
Numerous towns have been establish
ed and railroads have extended their
branches to connect the valley with
the country's great markets. Dairy
ing has become a profitable industry.
More than Sd, 500, 900 worth of crops
were produced on the project in 1920.
Shoshone Project Lands.
The Shoshone project, in the north
western part of the state, lies in a
region of great scenic beauty, and
healthful climate and fertile soil. Like
the North Platte project it has trans
fromed the desert into a thickly popu-
lated and highly productive agricul-
tural section. 1t is a fine dairy
try, has a creamery and alfalfa meal
mill. 1t is devoted to general farm
ing.
Abundant Crops
Crops to the value of over 81 ,OO0,-
600 were produced in 1920 on about
$4,000 acres.
Soldiers who are interested in the
land are invited to investigate the OPP
portunities offered by these openings.
Detailed information concerning the
farms and the method of obtaining
them may be secured by writing to
the Project Manager, U. S. R. s.,
Mitchell, Nehr.. about he North Platte
project, to the Project Manager, Pow
el, Wyoming, concerning the Shoshone
opening, or to the U. S. Reclamation
