Roads Are Reported
Fair From City to
All Fishing Points

All roads out of Great Falls are
reported in fair condition for those
who wish to make fishing and
pleasure trip today. The roads to
Choteau and to Belt are probably
the best of ALL these being hard
surfaced and graveled highways
which have not been hit as hard
by recent rains as others.
The road to Cascade and Craig
is said by tourists at the auto
tourist camp to be fair although
rather rough. Between Cascade and
Helena, it is said the highway is
worse. g
The road to Ulm is said to be
good on the Helena road, but the
n which leads to that town on
the east side of the Missouri river
is dangerous because of the many
ruts and hollows.
From ChOteau to the Canadian
line, the road is in just fair shape
for the same reason, but road
crews have been working on this
trail and it should be in better
condition than it was reported a
few days ago.
The Fort Benton-G Great Falls
line is good, but beyond Benton,
as far as Havre, the road is not
so good.
The Lewistown road is good all
the way. The road to Monarch and
Neihart is being worked on and
is in better shape than before.
Tourists will find travelling
harder and slower than usual at
this time on all roads because of
the recent rains. Many roads have
been soaked and cars passing over
them soon after, have caused deep
ruts to be made which can not be
taken out without scraping.

PARIS FERRIS WHEEL DOWN

Paris. May 17.-Americans visit
ing Paris will no longer see the fam
Gus Ferris wheel. which with the
Eiffel tower for 90 years has been one
of the most familiar landmarks of the
French capital. Modern needs have
decreed that the colossal wheel make
way for a more profitable investment.
Workmen are now dismantling the huge
steel structure. the axle of which alone
weighs 10000 pounds and is set a dis
tance of 164 feet from the ground.
Built in 1900. ut the time of the
Paris exposition from plans of an
American engineer whose name it
bears, the gigantic wheel has afforded
pleasure and amusement t o hundreds
of thousands of Parisians and foreign
visitors, young and old.

Supervisor Warns
Against Stealing
Flowers From Park

"As the beauty Of the wild
flowers on the hillside is marred
when the flowers r taken from
their natural state so is the beauty
of the domesticated flowers of the
city parks destroyed when they
are taken from the plants on
which they grow" said Frank
Reimer, superintendent Of Great
Falls municipal parks.
He said it sadly for the park
man" loves flowers and he is
proud of the ~colorful flower beds
that add to the beauty of the parks.
And the folks are stealing the
flowers, he said, picking them and
taking them home to cramp them
up in vases where they only
wither and die.
So many flowers have been
taken by park visitors that special
protection is to be given the flow
ers by the city police department.
There is a city ordinance that pro-
vides that it is against the law to
take flowers and tr%espassers on
the flower beds will be prosecuted,
the park man said.

OIL NOTES

A cloud burst at Box Elder washed
out a part Of the six inch pipe line
Of the Montana Independent
according to reports from Lewistown.
The pipe line extended about half a
mile over the creek and the heavy rain
was followed by floods which carried
out most of this and permitted the oil
in the line from the storage tanks some
10 or II miles distant to be lost. an
amount of several thousand barrels.
Telephone poles were washed out and
definite information could not be OBJ
tanned from the field.

FLIES DECREASE MILK YIELD
ing Cow For the Time and Saves
Temper Of Mixer.

The irritation of cows caused by
files not only lessons the milk pro
duced, but, due to the restlessness of
the cows, is frequent cause Of in
efficient milking.
The fly spray furnishes a means Of
relieving the COW for a time at least
and of saving the temper of the milk
ers. The following fly repellant mix
ture is recommended:
Four and onelLalf quarts of coal tar
dip, Az quarts OF fish oil. quarts OF
whale oil. ia quarts of oil of tar and
n ounce of oil of pennyroyal. Dis
solve pounds OF laundry soap In
water. add the ingredients Of the spray
and bring the whole up to 80 gallons
with lukewarm water.
This quantity will spray 40 cows
twice a day for 10 days. The spray
Should be applied In the morning after
milking and in the afternoon when the
cows are In the barn for silage or
green feed.

especially the farmers of Kentucky
where ii is used as tobacco spray.
The Farm Bureau of Kentucky has
secured prices on acid phosphate to the
farmers which is from $12 to $14 per
ton cheaper than former prices, thereby
saving to the farmers of this state a
vast amount of cold cash"
All railroads south of the Ohio and
east of the Mississippi rivers proposed to
raise the freight rate on livestock ship
ped, regardless, whether the destina ton
was within er on the outside of said Sec
ton. The raise from points in Ken
lucky averaged 81 percent above the
present rate. This no doubt would have
been put in operation but the Farm
Bureau was on the job and by appear
ing before the Interstate Commerce
Commission saved an immense amount
Of money to the farmers of this state.
This is not all that has been accom-
plished but enough to convince the most
skeptical that the Farm Bureau is not
only worth while but necessity. 1t
is fact that the farmer must be heard
in the councils of government or be-
come the serfs of the country. Which
shall it be? We must either stick to-
gether or get stuck.

WHAT THE FARM BUREAU
HAS DONE FOR THE FARMER

The Farm Bureau Fedora ton has
been organized only a few years, yet
il has done more for the farmer than
any other organization. We have learn
ed from the experience of former or
CARNATIONS until now we have so per-
fected a plan that works successfully.
1t is not only saving the farmers mil
lions of dollars but will eliminate the
hazard of farming by stableizing, to n
great extent the prices of farm pro-
ducts.
During the short space of time the
Farm Bureau has been organized IT
has not only caused Congress to sit
up and take notice" but the influence
of the farmer is felt i'm the financial
world as never before. Not because
the farmer desires or expects to dom
mate Congress or business to the ex-
clusiOn of other interests. They do not
seek or even ask for special privileges
such as guaranteed profits, bonuses or
subsidies but demand that the same
consideration be given the farmer that
is given other business.
/ will mention some of the things ac-
complished by the Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton. After the crash of 1920 when
BUSINESS BHItit tO II StdnuStlbs az
over the country. especially rural banks
were filled with notes and other credit
instruments on which they were unable
TO collect money. The whole country
was stunned. Agriculture was pros
trated. 1t was in this emergency that
the farm leaders showed their grasp of
fundamental conditions. They demand
ed that credit be advanced to agricul-
tttr la IF no To
Bureaus the War Finance Corporation
was revived but it required hard fight
to make the old line bankers and other
financial men recognize that the way to
revive business is to revive agriculture.
Within few weeks after the War
Finance Corporation began to function
cotton advanced in price ten cents per
poud. This not only means thousands
Of dollars to Fulton County, but saved
the South and relieved the pressure on
the country banks. BY the same act
IL relieved the pressure on the Federal
Reserve System, which had poured mil
lions into tn South to prevent a gen.
eral financial crash.
1t was the Farm Bureaus that Sc
cured an appropria ton last fall of one
billion dollars from Congress for the
War Finance Corporation which enabled
the foreign governments to start buying
our products, and which, as result,
has put hogs and cattle up to most
satisfactory price and has been Of direct
financial benefit to every farmer in the
United States.
Again, Ii was pressure from the Farm
Bureaus that reduced the railway val
uation for the purpose Of computing the
guaranteed earnings. one billion sever
hundred million dollars, which makes
an average saving of $50 each for every
farmer In the United States
1t Is almost as rare as frost In Jup<
Tor the farmers to be the victOrs In 9
tariff battle with a trust. White ar
senic was placed on the free list which
win be q great saving to the farmer

USE MORE REGISTERED SIRES
Notable Progress Is Reported In NOW

With Purebreds.

prepared by the United States Department
OF AgrtcutureD
There is every reason to believe that
the replacement of scrub and grade
sires by purebreds Is on the increase.
Reports received by the United States
Department of Agriculture from coun-
ty agents in various parts of the coun-
try show that the Better Sires-bet-
ter Stock" movement Is having
noticeable effect. a recent statement
by NJ. @. Lewis. county agent OF
Rockbrldge county, Va. Is typical OF
large number.
The purebred bull movement.

Idly. Since January I, Is farmers have
disposed of grade or scrub bulls and

ONE MAN BURNED TO'DEATH

else. Many records have been kept
during the last few years to prove
out the actual value Of purebred
bull In dollars and cents
Some of these actual figures were
Ohtulncd recently by the Department
Of Agriculture through an inquiry
sent ont 10 more than 500 farmers
throughout the United States These
men gave IL as their opinion that Ii.
all kinds of farm stock purebreds have
an earning power more than 10 per
cent better than common stock. II In
noteworthy that In the case of dairy
cattle. whose productive power can be
easily measured, purebreds were con-
sidered to be 47.s per cent better than
common cows. The lowest percentage
given for any kind of stock was 1913
per cent.

SECOND FLOOD IN p
STREETS OF HICKMAN
Water to Be Six Inches Higher Than
Three Weeks Ago.

For the second time this Grring
the business section of Hickman is
covered with water and, tho nearly
every merchant on Clinton street is
doing business on scaffolds, there is
g better feeling. They are accustom-
ing themselves to the conditions,
which is much better attitude when
it is possible. The seven-milc levee
below Hickman was holding the first
of the week. A loop levee has been
constructed just below, SO that in
case Of break there is a chance of
breaking the current and checking
the water. Cairo is billed for a
gauge of Sd fee Certainly the peo-
pie OF Hickman have been sorely
tried with high waters.
