A meeting Of about 100 persons
vitality interested in the welfare of
the Pas-Kar Coach Company was

Der of Commerce rooms in Alma, at
which matters pertaining to the fl
rancial welfare of the institution
were gone into as closely as possible.
Among those attending the meeting
were many residents of both St.

closely associated with the company
in one way or another since it start

Following discussion Of the af-
fairs Of the company and the reading
of statement by Secretary Ream,
committee of five members was APP
rointed, which will have for its aim
a thorough knowledge of all Of the
affairs of the company and the pos
sibilities that are offered for the
future.

poses TO take arr not known at this
time. and whether the committee
may possibly attempt to secure new
finance for the concern, or take some
other steps cannot be tod at the

the committee will make full in
vestigation into all of the affairs Of
the company before anything further
may be expected.

OUTLOOK IS GOOD
FOR THE FARM[R
Sec'y of Agriculture Wallace
Sees Fine Farm Prospects
for the Coming Year.

Twelve months ago most of the six
million farmers of the United States
were starting on the long hard climb
out of the valley of economic depres-
sion. They have not yet attained the
heights which are bathed in the
grateful sunshine of prosperity. Some
indeed, have fallen by the way. 9th
ers are still in the valley. Neverthe-
less, as we stop bit and look back
ward we can see that very consider
able ground has been gained by the
great majority, and we can enter the
New Year with renewed hope and with
that courage which comes from the
realization that we are really making
progress.
A year ago, when speaking of the
prospects for farming in 1922, said
that while there was no reason to ex-
pect boom times for the farmer in the
near future, there was promise of
better times, both for the farmer and
for those whose business is largely
dependent upon him. The year has
brought fultillment of that promise
Speaking generally, times are better,
much better, than year ago, both
for agriculture and for industry.
Crops have been good, on the
whole. Prices of the major crops
are most considerably higher. While
there has been corresponding adj
vance in the prices of the things the
farmer must buy, the total sum which
farmers will receive for the crops of
this year is greater by a billion and a
half dollars or more than that which
they receive for the crops of last
year. This will certainly mean bet
ter times on the farm, and farm folks
will be able to ease up a little on the
grinding economy they were forced to
practice the preceding year.
The labor cost Of producing the
crops Of 1922 was still further re-
duced. There were some substantial
reductions in freight rates. Much
helpful legislation has been enacted
and more will be this winter. Inter
est rates are lower and the credit
strain has ceased. This has made il
possible for many farmers who were
rather heavily involved to refund
their obligations and get themselves
in condition to win through.
There are still some dark spots. In
some sections weather conditions were
unfavorable and crops were short, and
farmers in these sections are having
very hard time Of it. Freight rates
are still too high, especially for those
who must pay for long haul to mar
ket.
Taxes are high, but this is largely
due to the increase in local taxes
over which farmers themselves must
exercise control.
There has been gratifying growth
in farmers cooperative marketing as
sociations, and more of them are be
ing organized on a sound bushes:
basis.
Aside from the help which has beer
given by legislation and by admins
tration activities. strong economic
forces are at work to restore a more
normal relation between agriculture
and other industries.
The peril in the agricultural de
preston is more keenly realized b!
other groups than ever before, and OF
every hand sincere desire is being
evidenced to do what can be done
safely to help the farmer better hi
condition.
Everything considered, we have
good reason to expect still bette
things for agriculture in the yea
1923.

bucks. The association committee
composed of Henry Sieben, w. J
Beckett and Arthur Ward, all of Hell.

DON'T GO OF YOUR
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Keep your War Savings Stamps
is what Lew Wallace, Jr., director of
savings, treasury department, Wash
ington, says to the people who hold
government securities.
Wal savings stamps of the 1918 is
u will mature on January 1, 1923,
at which time the government will
pay $500 for each stamp of that is
sue. The stamps were issued at prices
ranging from s4.12 to $4.23, according
to the month in which purchase was
made, and have always been redeem
able.
Mr.. Wallace states that the $500
stamp issued in 1918 is worth sA.63
at the present time. Next January it
will be worth $500, a difference of
81 cents. The owner of $4,000 ma
turity value in stamps will receive on
January l, $7.4O more than the pres
ent redemption price.
AS a part of it's refunding opera
tions the treasury department is of
fering a new issue of five year treas

OFFICERS GRAZ STILLS
ON WILLISTON N

Two stills with a combined capacity
of 25 gallons a day were found in OPP
Grafton at the Timmerick farm about
IA miles north of Williston, and Wes-
ley Timmerick and Lee Ellis were ar
rested by Sheriff Mackenroth and
Deputy Jacobson. The men waived
preliminary hearing and were bound
over to district court, both furnishing
bonds.
The officers say that they have for
some time suspected Timmerick of
manufacturing liquor, and he has also
been under suspicion of hauling whis-
ky from Canada. There was n small
still that seemed to have been used
for some time, and another new one
Of greater capacity. It is thought
that Timmerick's business outgrew
the capacity of the small outfit and
thereupon he had the larger one con-
structed.
Ellis is a timer of Williston, and
he is supposed to have made the new
outfit, and the fact that he was on
the premises with Timmerick at the
time of the officers visit indicates
that the new outfit had just been in
stalled and was being tested.

IRRIGATION
FOR MONTANA
Congressman Carl w. Riddick Giving
Special Attention to Reclama-
ton Plans Before
Congress.

Congress will soon enact !egisla-
ton whereby thousands of acres of
land in Montana may be irrigated,
writes Congressman Carl W. Riddick,
if the efforts of certain aggressive
western and southern reclamationists
shall prove successful, as he believes
they will.
Carl Riddick, who is n of the &C
tive advocates of irrigation in con-
gress, is a member of a special COM
mittee of representatives and senators
whose duty it is to educate and in
terest a majority of the membership
of congress to the need of legislation
at this time for reclamation and de-
velopment of waste land in the west
and south.
President Harding has been inter-
ested and has given his support by
specifically recommending in his last
message to congress that the recla-
nation of arid, swamp and cut-over
land be speeded up. In harmony with
this recommendation, and in response
to the efforts of those most actively
interested, the committee on irrigation
of arid lands of the house of repre-
sentatives within the past few days
made a favorable report upon the So
called Smith bill, which it is hoped
may be promptly enacted into law.
This law contemplates that state
legislatures will authorize the organ
ization of irrigation districts in each
state, with authority to issue bonds
and to make contracts with the secre-
tary of the interior. The secretary of
the interior is authorized to i%nvesti-
gate the feasibility of retaining
lands in any district that may be or
ganized, whether large or small. One
half Of the cost of the investigation
is to be temporarily advanced by the
district and one-half by the United
States government. If the plan is
feasible the secretary Of the interior
may contract to construct reclamation
works for the district and operate
the same until the works shall finally
be paid for. The land included in an
irrigation district may be all or part
public land, homesteaded land, decided
land or state land.
The actual cost of construction, OPP
Grafton, maintenance and Of first in
vestigation shall all be paid for by
the district in not exceeding forty ;
years, with 5 per cent interest. Bonds t
will be issued covering all costs and {
delivered to the United States, and
the federal government will advance i
money necessary to do the work. The $
federal land bank will dispose Of the t
bonds as soon as the property of the
district is worth twice the amount Of s
the bonds, thus creating an unending
revolving fund. It is purposed to au- c
the appropriation of $3.50, OOO,- t
900 to the fund at the start, to be ,
available as needed. /
Ex-service men are to be given S
preference in all construction work and I
ire to have 60 days preference in fill
ng upon open land. Farm units are o
lot to be in excess of 100 acres and d
arrangements are to be made so that
land in any district is to be prompt fl
y settled upon and placed under cul- h
