DEMAND FOR MONTANA SEED

A. ]. Ogaard, who is our extension
agronomist, and also secretary of the
Montana Seed Growers Association,
had charge of the Montana exhibit at
the international Seed Show, that is
held at Chicago the first part of this
month. There he found a keen de-
mand for hardy Montana alfalfa seed.
In writing to County Agent Hill
man he said, "When see the interest
here at Chicago among the represen-
tatives of seed growers associations
for pure seed of all kinds and for
genuine Montana hardy alfalfa seed.
/ cannot help but feel that we need
to wake up to our possibilities. We
ought to feature alfalfa seed every
chance we get"
Mr.. Ogaard will spend about a week
in Sanders county, sometime in Feb
ruary- He will attend meetings of the
farm bureau, telling about the work
of the Montana Seed Growers Asso-
citation and explaining the rules fo1
growing certified seed potatoes anC

saw this sign:
John Doe, his checks no good, no

Only the name was not John Doe
but was that of a priminent Gallatin
Valley business man and farmer
and a man whom the people of the
country have had enough confidence
in to select to positions of responsible
ty. He would probably have been
a whole lot more surprised than we
were had he seen the sign. 1t seems
that he had given the Celestial pro-
prietor a check on a Three Forks
bank. 1t was the same bank that
is closed temporarily for reorganiza-
tion and while closed have stopped
payment on checks. The check came
back and the Chinaman thinking he
was "stung" wanted to let his pat
rons know that this mans checks
were no good. 1t reminds us of a
story of girl who told friend that
it seemed queer to her that a big
bank like the Commercial National
would not have more than ten dollars
on hand, and then showed a returned
check with this marked across it,

Local Comment


Full many a keg or hue and sheen

Full many quart is born to blush

So sings the poet and it is a case
of more truth than poetry, for in
every copper wash boiler and every
bath-tub there are unlimited oppor-
trunities for "Home-brew" and
Moon. The recent law providing
a high fine for the manufacture OF
the forbidden stuff only adds a zest
to the sport. They don't always get
away with it. The other day we read
in the eastern paper story about
two prohibition officers who made a
raid on a suspected house. They
searched the house and finally knock
ed on the bothroom door. Don't

running water came to the officers
waiting outside. The one turned to
the other and said, what is it Cap
tain, discretion or duty?" "Duty" was
the reply, and the door was forced
No scene of September Morn greeted
their eyes, but in the bath-tub was
a complete still and over it stood
q woman-frantically trying to run the
precious contents into the sewer. And

ace college freshman is light brain

that were written last week at our

was in regard to The effect that
Jazz has on morals. It was a
question that required serious and
original thought because there is
very little reference on the subject
available in the college library. The

ing part of the affair was the
point Of view that the boys and

r.ovided a healthy and normal method

osite side of the question. Without
ezeeption they considered that Jazz
WAS q detriment TO community or in

~art Of a large part Of the crime
and immortality existing today. Once

Why Clothes Wear Out
Faster In Winter

Every woman knows some Of
the reasons why clothes wear
out faster in winter-drying on
the line, stiff, brittle as glass,
ends frayed by the wind, is one
cause.
Frozen things crack easily.
Wear is doubled in winter.
And handling these chilly,
ice-like slabs; furnbling with
blue fingers for clothes-pins
that are frozen fast-is there
any work half so trying; so
dangerous to health?
There's a method of lessen
ing winter wear; a more sensi-
bic way of washing.
It's this-you simply bundle

washing, and phone for our
driver.
We wash for you in our
modern, clothes-saving way
iron all the fiat pieces, and fluff
the underwear, stockings, and
bath towels until every wrinkle
is smoothed out.
When your bundle returns,
only a few finishing touches
are left for you to do.
Doesn't that sound simple,
and reasonable? It is-and
it's economical as well. Try
