Predatory Animals
Decreasing Here,
Shown by Records

Evidence that Cascade county
is no longer the home of the wolf
is revealed in a review of the
bounty records on file in the office
Of County Clerk John E. Moran.
So far this year. only one wolf
pelt has been brought into Great
Falls and recorded. Since Janu
ary 1 of this year, 414 coyotes
have been killed in the county.
June was the record month for
coyote pelts, with approximately
$3.50 being paid by the county in
bounties during that time. The
county pays $3.50 bounty for each
animal. The exceptional record in
June was due to the prize bag
made by one rancher who collected
$40 for destroying Sc coyotes.
During the last few months, but
little bounty money has been paid
by the county, which is considered
an Indication that the number Of
coyotes is fast diminishing in this
part of the state.

How to Buy Linen

Don't pay for linen silk and wool
and get cotton, says the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.
Even if the cost of clothing and
the material for clothing and house.
hold use is going down, the purchaser
is just as anxious to get what he pays
for, or he should be. The Department
of Agriculture has issued instruc-
tions for finding out just what the
various fabrics contain.
"Pure linen," says the announce
ment, "is so scarce and high in price
nowadays that the housekeeper needs
to be doubly sure that she is getting
pure linen when she pays for it.
Cotton, especially when mercerized, i.
often used to adulterate linen, and
the high lustre makes it difficult te
tell the difference. Cotton and liner
mixtures and mercerized cotton alone
especially in tablecloths and towels
and proving a satisfactory substitute
for pure linen, and they should b
sold for what they are and priced &C
cordingly.
"Whenever possible, lengthwise ant
crosswise threads Of the materia
should be raveled out and examined
Newark post., 1921-12-14

Cotton, however, does not hold dyes
so well as silk, and such fabrics some
times soil and wrinkle more easily
than pure silk.
IA mixture of cotton and silk can be
detected by boiling sample Of the
material for fifteen minutes in a pint
Of water to which has been added ono
to two tablespoons of household lye
or caustic potash. The lye or potash
will destroy the silk fibres, leaving
the cotton intact. Mixtures of wool
and cotton may also be tested in this
way, for lye has a similar effect on
wool. Care should be taken not to
get any Of the lye solution on the
hands in making this test"
Newark post., 1921-12-14

Cotton fibres appear short, dull and
fuzzy; linen fibres are long, fine, stiff
and lustrous.
"If cotton cloth is torn, the ends Of
the threads appear fuzzy, while those
OF linen are straight and smooth.
Cotton feels soft and somewhat
warm; linen feels wiry and cool.
Linen looks transparent if glycerine
is dropped on it, while cotton does
not. Linen dries more rapidly than
cotton. This quality, of course, makes
it particularly desirable for towels
and handkerchiefs.
"Silk, apparently of good quality,
sometimes splits or falls apart after
a little or no wear. Weighing the
fibres with mineral salts just before
dyeing to give the fabric body is
generally the cause, and this kind Of
adulteration has been very common
during the last few years, when raw
silk has been exceptionally expensive.
Weighted silks sometimes give good
service, but in general pure-dye silks
wear better.
Burning a sample Of silk is an
easy way to test for weighing. Pure
silk burns readily, gives off an odor
like burning hair or feathers and
leaves ball of ash. If weighted, only
the silk fibres burn, and the mineral
salts are left sometimes in the very
shape of the sample. Whenever pos
sible, silks for hard usage, as in coat
Innings or petticoats, should be tested
in this way.
"Silks are also occasionally adul.
terated with cotton, and for some
purposes such mixture is excellent

TRAFFIC RULES
TO BE ENFORCED
Speeding Vehicles Raise Ire of
Local Residents; Trucks
Must Have Mirrors

Recently there have been several
persons arrested and fined for MAX
ing improper turns at the dummy
policeman" at Main Street and Elk
ton Avenue. This is about the busi-
est corner in Newark and several ac-
cidents occurred at this point before
the placing of the dummy" there.
But even with this "Turn to the right"
warning many motorists violated the
law and took turns to the left but
now that the teeth of the law have
made themselves felt it is thought
that conditions will be better. An
other item that will make the mo-
torists take more heed Of the law is
the fact that at the session Of Coun-
ell last week the fine for erring auto
mobilists was advanced from a mini
mum of $5 to $40.
Another point that the casual OBJ
server notes along the streets Of
Newark is the speed of motor vehicles
when passing through town. Many
of the cars travel along Main Street,
Depot Road and Elkton Avenue. at
breakneck speed and endanger the
lives of pedestrians as well as other
automobile drivers who keep within
the law Large trucks, many loaded
with many tons, are especially un-
needing of the law and travel at high
rates of speed.
With this condition many residents
are in hopes that action will be taken
Immediately to stop the practice and
make the streets safer.
A warning to olcal and all other
nearby truck owners is given by the
orders issued by Superintendent OF
Police Black, of Wilmington, in re-
gard to mirrors on all trucks. There
is a State law that requires all truck:
to be outfitted with mirrors so tina
the drivers may view vehicles tina
overtake them and wish to pass. Thi
law has not been rigidly enforced bu
the Wilmington police have beel
ordered to inform all truck driver
that these mirrors must be used.

FEWER ACCIDENTS

An analysis of the latest Inter-
state Commerce Commission figures
on the annual accident records of all
railroads in the United States pre-
pared by the Committee on Accident
Statistics of the American Railway
Association, shows that fewer people
were killed in 1920 than in any year
since 1898. The report gives credit
for this achievement to the combined
efforts of the officers and employees of
the railroads, the public and the press
in systmatic safety education.

They will not consent to a continuance of such a
waste Of blood and treasure if possible solutions
can be reached which will render wars no longer

HOMILY ON GOLF

Men take up golf for the exercise AS a game
il makes walking most interesting.
An inexperienced player going over on eighteen
hole course will perhaps cover five miles. The
more proficient he becomes at the game the less
he walks-ergo, the less exercise he gets.
So if you are taking up golf for the exercise
what is the sense of becoming expert, and thus
reducing the amount of exercise? The answer is
that an American doesn't want to be dub at
ANYTHING.

we pronounce the best book. The greatest good we
