ORGANIZING MOVIE
COMPANY FOR HAVRE

Havre, Jan. 18.-1ncorporation Of a
picture company to produce motion
pictures in Northern Montana, with
headquarters in Havre, is contemplate
ed by a number of prominent people
of the motion picture world and Havre
business men.
Preliminary plans for the company
were outlined last week when "Where
Rivers Rise, the motion picture pro-
duced by the Flathead Producers Cor
poration, in which Art Station of
Havre is the star, was shown at the
Orpheum theatre.
Mr.. Station will be the star for the
new organization and it will probably
have as director, according to some
of those interested, Cliff Smith, a
noted director who directed many of
the pictures in which Bill Hart has APP
peared, Robert Phalen, a prominent
motion picture operator of Los Ange-
les, has declared that he will take a
financial interest in the company.
Havre, it is pointed out by those
behind the proposed organization, is
ideally situated for the production of
western pictures, pictures with real
action in them. The adjoining towns
and scenery are such that tens of
thousands can be saved in the produc-
ton of a picture through not having
to build many of the elaborate scenes,
which have to be constructed in South
ern California, which is 10Y the prin-
cipal land of movie production.

ADVANTAGES OF A SILO

From the Farm Bureau News)
The following are the advantages of
a silo. Do you want one?
1. The silo provides a means of
saving a larger percentage of the nu-
trients in the corn and sunflower
crop, especially in case of drouth, ear
ly frost, or failure to mature.
2. The silo conserves the nutrients
of the entire corn and sunflower plant
in a palatable form.
8. Silage is succulent, and provides
conditions in winter similar to sum-
mer pasture.
4. The silo insures a saving of time
and labor in winter feeding. The farm

fields in stormy weather.
S. Silage furnishes a uniform quail
ity of feed and puts bloom and good
coats OF livestock in winter and milk
in the pail.
6. More feed can be stored in the
form of silage than in the form Of
fodder or hay.
z. Acre for acre, silage is moer eff
ficient as a feed than fodder.
8. Silage can be used p~rofitably as
a supplement to pastures in summer.
9. Silage properly made is a good
feed for horses, cattle and sheep. II
increases the flow of milk in winter,
when prices are highest, thus lower
ing the cost of production and increas-
ing the profits.

period of "four months and a reason
able time for delivery. Just what
was a reasonable time" at the time
when the transportation lines were
suffering from a congestion of traf-
fic, caused a great deal of discussion
among traffic circles, and when the
whole subject of express rates and
changes in classification was consid-
cred by the commission last year, the
reasonable time" clause was finally
set at fifteen days.
The present financial or credit stu
alton was one of the most important
points taken into consideration in this
extension of granting more time for
shippers in filing of claims. With
money tight" and manufacturers and
jobbers extending longer credit to
their customers four months and fiji
teen days are not always sufficient
for filing claims. Thus, the shipper
might extend a 90-day credit to his
customer and not bill on him until the
end Of such period and then by the
time the customer made final settle
ment the four months period would
elapse, preventing the shipper from
making claim in case Of loss or dam
age.
Furthermore, the express regula-
tions are thus made uniform with
those of the railroads., which for some
time have allowed shippers six months
for filing claims. The obvious advan-
tage of uniformity to shippers is ex-
pected to make the concessions by
the express carrier agreeable news to
many express users. This should not
be an incentive to dilatory practices
in filing claims, as the shippers today,
general speaking, are far more alert
in looking after their interests than
formerly. This is shown by the fact
that no matter how small an amount
is involved, claims are not generally
filed whenever a carrier is liable.
The great improvement in the ex-
press claim situation is another rea-
son why the express company finds it
easier to establish the six months rule.
With a reduction of more than 65 per
cent within a year, in number of
claims presented. and the files of the
express company being in good shape,
it is not a difficult matter to check
their records and promptly adjust
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1922-01-20

claims on shipments moving six
months back.
There is, of course, the necessity
by the railroads and express COM
panies to establish some time limits
on loss and damage claims. They
should have the privilege of investi-
eating the claim while the loss or
damage is fresh in the minds of their
employees, and consequently they
should not be asked to locate billings
and other data filed away many
months or years prior to receiving
claim papers. 1t is believed that bet
ter and more prompt handling Of
claims is assured with the manifestly
better service which the express COM
pany is now rendering the public.
