ing and farm management have been
conducted in accordance with the
schedule and requirements of the
state supervisor of Smith Hughes ag-
riculture. This work was taken adj
vantage of by 20 different boys, and
80 minutes per day was devoted to
each class. In addition 10 these
classes the instructor taught general
agriculture to a class of prospective
rural school teachers during last
term. One of the requirements of the
agricultural course is the farm shop
work. The boys taking agriculture
were given a special course in farm
shop work by Mr.. Chauner, using the
equipment of the manual training de-
partment.
All of the requirements of Smith
Hughes act have been complied with
as nearly as possible, and the Schoo
nas received the approval of the stat,
supervisor for the annual reimburse
nent. A favorable report was alst
-endered by the federal representa-
ye who visited the school in May

GALLATIN ROADS
IN huge PROGRAM

Gallatin county with a proposed
expenditure Of $15O,OOO for paving is
one of 80 states, counties, townships
and municipalities announced within
the past week as contemplating high
way Improvement to a grand total Of
SITS, 1907 ,359.36.
More than S1,OOO,OOO,OOO is avail
able for good roads and streets in
the United States. This sum, large
as it is, represents an increase over
the highway revenues of 1914 of only
about $50 per cent, while highway
traffic has increased 450 per cent
There are now 2,5O0,OO0 miles of
highways in the United States, Of
which only an approximate 100000
miles are improved with modern
pavements. When compared to sums
expended for luxuries by the pleasure
seeking public the American highway
budget does not look so impressive.
The people of this country spend
/ $1,000, 100000 a year for candy, $3,-
| 100000 for automobiles, S1,000,000
000for automobile tires, $1,275, ,000,-
900 for gasoline, ,500,000,O00 for
carpets and rugs, $1,950,000,000 for
cigars, cigarettes, tobacco and snuff
and 81 $50 100000 for jewelry, per-
fumery and cosmetics. On the other
hand the sums spent for roads anC
streets are seven times greater thar
those expended for water supply i'm.
provements, three times those fol
sewerage work and fifteen time:
those for bridges.
In connection with the road build
ing program public officials are cast
ing about to find the types of pave
ment best suited to their purpos
and best calculated to save money t.
the taxpayers and those who use tn,
his Aways. 1t now costs from $20,00I
to $4,000 a mile to construct moderl
paved highways, depending on tn
dimensions OF the pavement, the kim
of material used, and the local condi
1 tions encountered such as labor cost

PI beta PHI TO
PUT Chapter HERE

A telegram received this morning
by members of the Phi Gamma local
sorority stated that the petition for
a charter in Pi Beta Phi had been
favorably acted upon and that the
chapter would be installed this fall.
This comes as agreeable news to all
who have the interests of Montana
State college at heart as it is not
only a recognition of the worthiness
Of the petitioning body, but it also a
recognition of the standing of the col
lege.
Pi Beta Phi was founded at Mon
mouth college in 1867 and was orig
inally called the 1. G. Sorosis. In
1883 the present Greek name was
adopted. The fraternity is one Of the
oldest and best established in the
Greek world, having more than sixty
chapters. 1t is a conservative or
ganization and this fact makes it the
more desirable goal for local frater-
nifty to attain. The badge of the fra
ternity is a tiny gold arrow bearing
the Greek letters ''Pi Beta Phi" trans.
versly on the feather with a loor
chain pendant from the shaft. The
colors are wine red and silver blue
The fraternity flower is the dark rec
carnatiOn. The pledge button is IL
gold.
Phi Gamma, the petitioning soror
yity, was established at Montana Statt
college in 1912 as the Keseke club
In 1916 it adopted the Greek name
1t was the first woman's fraternit!
at the State cLllege, ard was the frs
sorority to open chapter house.
This is the fifth national socia,
fraternity at Montana State college
Alpha Omicron Pi, women's national
was the first, and was granted
chapter in 1916. In 1917 Sigma CHI
the first mems national, was install
ed. Next came Sigma Alpha Epsilo
for men, and Chi Omega for women.

Mason KILLED when
AUTO Turns OVER

Harry Mason, the 20-year-old son
of N. B. Mason of Manhattan, was
killed early Friday morning a few
miles south of Willow Creek, when
his car turned over and the running
board caught him in the neck and
strangled him to death.
The young man was on his way to
Butte, hoping to secure work as a
printer. He left Manhattan about 4
o'clock in a Ford car and such bag
gage as he would NEED for his person
al wants. Passing through Willow
Creek about 10 minutes before five
o'clock, he was noticed by Jesse
Capps, who was on horseback In e
field a short distance south of Vii
low Greek. Capps st-ted that Ma
son was driving very fast. Hearing
a crash, Capps locked around anC
saw the car standing on edge on th'
side Of the road. He rode over tt
the fence, tied his horse and went tt
the scene of the accident, short dis
tance from the fence, and found th'
car on top of the man, whom h
thcaght was dead. He went to al
adjoining farm about 100 yard
away and called Sam Lane, who wen

WOOL ASSOCIATION
INCORPORATED
Montana WOOlgrOwers Incorporated
and Board of Directors Named q.
to Finance Members

The Montana Wool Acceptance
company has recently been incorpor-
ated and a board of directors named.
The acceptance company has named
as its wool committee, G. H. Will
Iiams, Deer Lodge; S. McKernan,
Helena, and E. J. Bowman, Anacon-
da and Dillon.
Control of the sale of all wools
handled through the acceptance COM
pany will be in the hands Of these
three men, who are well known thru
out the state and have had abundant
experience in banking and wool mat
ters. Two of them hold similar Of
fices in the Montana WOOlgrOwers'
association so that the two commit
ties handling these woods for respec-
tive q alpanios are practically iden-
teal. The wool grower who does not
desire an advance at this time should
sign up the Montana Woolgrowers'
association member marketing agree
ment. If he desires an advance at
shipping time he should consult his
local banker as to the method to be
pursued to secure an advance which
would not be to exceed ten cents per
pound on his wool. His local banker
can arrange through the acceptance
company for three months and if the
wool is not sold at the end Of that
time a renewal of three months can
be had. The drafts will be discounted
at the rate Of interest which will not
exceed seven and one-half per cent
per annum.
The method OF obtaining an adj
vance IS extremely simple and the
woolgrower should approach his bank
on the subject. In all coses where
the members have signed up the mar
keting agreement, the control of the
wool will be reliquished in favor of
the acceptance company.
Dealers are now soliciting consign-
'ments and offering advances in some
cases up to fifteen cents per pound
and are offering to purchase woods
at Is to q cents, some sales having
been made at something over the lat
ter figure.
Generally speaking the woolgrow-
er believes the offers made are in
adequate and that his wool should
command higher price and many are
preparing to ship their woods, as OF
the basis Of actual sales made in 9th
er states, and particularly in Utal
where woods are being handled free
ly at approximately twenty cents pc
pound, the light shrinking woods il
Montana should command now, al
they always have in the past, severa
cents more per pound. The wool
grower also realizes that any pur
chases made by dealers at this tim
are with the expectation of a goo
profit and where it is possible fo
him to do so the woolgrower feel
that he should be entitled. this seaso
particularly, to obtain all the woo
will command on the market whe
sold to the mills less only the cost o
transportation and the reasonabl
cost of handling. He has been so har
hit in short lamb crop, taxes, expel
ses and reduced prices during tn
past two season that unless he doe
get all the market offers it is gOin
to be still more difficult for him t
continue in business with any hoI
of ultimate success.

"When the Republican House of
