TlHE 1920 census tells it's own
story of the decline of agricul-

professional optinists, of course, will
say that it is good thing for farmer
to have mortgage, that the amount
OF the mortgage represents, that much
more money added to the investment
on which he can earn an income. In
the great majority of cases, however,
the farmer does not earn as much on
his Investment as he pays his banker

It is useless to expect the politi-

themselves.

MONTANA Will
HAVE WIRELESS
Radio System for Supplying Market
Information Will Serve This
State.

Washington, April 24-Extension
of the new wireless market reporting
system into Montana will follow in
evitably if it turns out to be the sue
cess nationally it has been in COM
paratively local field. 1t will mean
that prices at distant markets can be
flashed around the country and known
in the small community or the indi-
vidual farm in few moments. Any
one able to purchase a receiving out
fit and patient enough to learn the
code can have the reports, whether
in town or country.
The market radio available for the
farm is an accomplished fact, having
been established last week following
experiments started during the Wilson
administration. For three months tests
have been made. "Radio- market
grams" 400 to 600 words long, have
been sent from the wireless station of
the bureau of standards located at
Washington to farmers and other ag-
ricultural interests within 200 miles of
Washington. On April Is the regu-
lar daily service was established, US
ing stations of the postoffice depart
ment located at Washington, Belle
fonte, Pa, St. Louis and Omaha. It
is limited at present to II central and
10 eastern states.
The marketgrams can be picked up
within 300 miles of the sending sta
ton. 1t is only a matter of little
time until the whole country will
have the benefit of the service.

FREE TOURIST
PARK LOCATED
Ground Near Ball Park On River Will
Be Improved for Visitors Ac-
comOdatiOn.

Glasgow will have a free tourists
park with light, water and other ad-
vantages. This arrangement has been
made by the city authorities, and
clean up week will see the ground in
shape to receive visitors.
The good news was passed to the
Courier by City Manager Mitchell,
who escorted reporter to the site,
which is the vacant ground owned by
the city, just east of the base ball
park, and fronting on the river. Or
ders have been given for the extension
of the light and water to the ground,
which will be cleaned up and beauti-
fled to some extent, and which will
make an excellent temporary home
for the tourists who temporarily So

Mr.. Mitchell has also secured a
number of iron signs to guide tourists
to the place, and some very handsome

be erected on the roads coming into
and going out of town. The latter
will be set in concrete and are per-
manent and will be durable.

TOLOSE JOBS IN
ROAD CHANGES
Men at Bottom of Seniority Lists
Will Be Affected by COnsol-
idatiOn.

Employees who are on the bottom of
the seniority list will be effected by
the change made by the Great North
ern Railroad Co., which resulted in
the consolidation of the Havre and
Wolf Point offices. w. R. Smith, dis
trict superintendent, who was expect
ed from Havre last Friday is said to
have gone to Whitefish.
About 80 men will be out of employ
ment as a result of the consolidation,
| it is expected. The two offices have
about 80 men and they will need but
so, according to the new plan. Some
of the men will be shifted to other
divisions in case the quota at Wolf
Point is more thrn is necessary, but
it is hardly possible that The rail
road will make new jobs for those who
are effected by the consolidation.
The consolidation will also leave two
superintendent and but one office of
superintendent. 1t is question as to
whether j. L. Close of Havre or A. E
knight of Wolf Point will be in charge
of the Wolf Point division. One of
them will have to go, and it is ex-
pected that either will be transferred
to some other division.
1t is expected that the closing of the
Havre office will be temporary, but a
crop failure this year would carry it
over another year, it is said.

way commission announces that on
May l the shops maintained by the
commission at Deer Lodge will be
closed and the employees laid off.

road equipment has been secured from
the war department of the federal
government since the close of the
war. The government has given the
states this equipment free in an eff
fort to promote highway building
throughout the country. The states

the equipment to the various destin-
ations and also paid the loading and
unloading charges.

WATER USERS gain ALL
REQUIRED CONCESSIONS
RATE is LOWERED TO 81; TINE
EXTENDED ON PAYMENTS AND
PENALTIES; MORE WATER is
PROMISED.

Advices received by our senator
and representatives in congress, which
have duly reached the Courier, are
to the effect that the water users of
the Lower Milk River Valley associa-
ton have gained from the govern
ment, all of the concessions asked for
in the resolutions passed recently.
Morris Bein, acting director writes
from Washington:
"The Lower Milk River Valley
Water Users Association in reso-
luton submitted in February had pre-
sented two propositions with refer
ence to extending the time of paw
ment of the 1920 charges; that is, (D
that the date fixing the 5 per centum
discount on 1920 charges be extended
from March l, 1921 to October /, 1921.
and (2) that the penalty date for
1920 charges be extended from June
l, 1921, to January l, 1922. AS stated
in my letter addressed to you March
80, 1921, the Secretary on March 26,
in consideration of the fact that the
farmers on this project are in bad fl
nancial condition due to the poor mar
kets for agricultural products, chang
ed the due date for the charges Of
lo-o lIoIIl march L, 1871 10 OcLODef L,
1921. In other words, while the
charges will be due October 1, 1921,
the penalty for failure to pay will
not begin to run until January /, 1922,
and this, as l understand it, will sat
isfy the request on this feature made
in the said resolution Of March IT,,
1921.
"Since the receipt of your letter of
April A, 1921, this matter has been
again submitted to the Department,
and under date of April Is, 1921, the
Secretary, taking the position that
the Importance of having the farmers
approach the coming season in full
confidence of their ability to over
come last years reverses warrants
the first consideration, reduced the
charges from $500 to $500 per acre
foot.
"This, it is believed, disposes of all
features covered by the resolution ex-
cept the question of furnishing water
for two additional months. This mat
ter would be, of course, dependant en-
tirely upon local conditions, and the
Project Manager has been requested
to submit report thereon, and l will
be glad to advise you further when
decision has been reached"

to the German war burdens commits
sion demanding that one billion gold
marks be deposited in the Bank of
France on or before April 80.
Berlin, April 25.-The payment by
Germany of two hundred billion gold
marks for reparations is, roughly, the
proposal submitted by Germany for
transmission to the allies, according
to sources close to the government.
The payments will be spread over a
period of from 80 to AZ year, or less,
according to Germany's economic re-
covery.
+ Economic pledges il. the way OF
goods and participation in German in

The offer, it is indicated, inclines
more toward the terms formulated by
the allies at the Paris conference last
winter than toward the offer made by
Germany at the London conference,
which the allies summarily rejected.
