~ oNGREss is about to direct
the opening up OF a great
new entrance into the Ma
tional Capital. which will
result in the peopling Of an ex-
tensive territory to the north. thus
relieving the housing congestion, and
will afford much-needed traffic facili-
ties for the thousands of manned
service men at Walter Reed Hospital.
Legislation which will make pos
sible this development by the extern
sion Of 14th street. the new uptown
business thoroughfare. into score
OF towns and villages to the north in
Maryland, throwing open the gate
way SO that the residents OF these
towns can have easy access to wash
ington and giving a capital link to a
great highway for tourist travel from
the north directly through Washing
ton city and past the White House. to

Representative Fred N. Zihlman of
Maryland, whose district embraces the
territory which would be opened up
for development by this new gate
way to the capital. has been woVk king
for months and now has assurance
that the necessary legislation will
soon be passed. He has the support
of congressman from the north and
south who are anxious to authorize
removal Of the only barrier to such a
great tourist avenue thr0 ugh the
historic country about the cs-pital.
Representative Zihlman has axplain-
ed to his colleagues that 18th street
is now "the neck of the bottle" for
those sections in the northwestern
part Of the city and adjacent subur-
ban territory In Maryland. No i'm
proyement now under consideration
for the District of Columbia will do
more toward the development of the
capital. he emphasizes, than the bill
now before the House military af-
fairs committee, which has already
passed the Senate.
This provides for vacating and clos
ing certain streets through the Wal
ter Reed Hospital reservation. and
also provides for the extension and
widening of 14th street north from
Montague street, in accordance with
the plan of the permanent highway
system for the District of Columbia.

Gen. Harbord, deputy chief Of

appropriations yesterday:
IF provision is not made for 150, 900
men. then we who are charged with
operations and maintenance of the
work must ask Congress to restate
for us the mission of the Army"
This is reasonable in the highest de-

Bald Heads.


Now somebody or other has come
forward with an explanation of bald
ness in men. 1t completely reverses
the old dictum to the effect that bald
ness arises from too persistent wear
ing of hat or cap. The new theory is
that it is the violet ray in the sun
light which kills the hair and causes
it to fall out. For our part we be-
lieve neither theory. Badness Is a
distinction the Creator has served up
from the beginning against this day
when women have taken everything
that appertaineth to man-his trou-
sers, his ballot. his tobacco-every-
thing but his bald head. The dis
tinction of the bald head is vouch-
safed to men as grand hailing sign
among brothers. We have not yet
come to the view that science is
everything. We still like to believe
in special dispensations.-Mich

Gus Barner of the Raymond pre-
cinct, who has been spending the win
ter at different points in California,
leaving Plentywood Christmas day.
returned to Sheridan county, Mon
tana, Tuesday. Mr.. Barner while in
the west took occasion to visit many
places and to observe how people
were making a living and taking
notes on what is going on. He WIS.,
tied the fruit growing section as well
as the large cities and also the lumber
camps and mill cities of Oregon and
Washington. He says that after his
trip and his observations he is, con-
vinced that Montana is the very best
place yet for the poor man. He says
that there is nothing going on in the
woods, and that most of the mills
are closed down; all ship building has
ceased, and foundries and factories
are closed and that the laboring peo-
pie are suffering seriously. He also
says that the fruit growers of Cali
fornia are not making a thing from
their fruit and many of them are
poverty strickened. Mr.. Barner ad-
vises those living in Montana to
stay right here as it is still easier to
make living in the Treasure state
than it is any place that he visited
in the west. Mr.. Barner is now busy
getting ready to put in another crop
this year.

WHATS THE use?
Asks Rose Gibson, to Put in a Mort
gagged Crop on Mortgaged Land,
With Mortgaged Horses and Ma
chinery?

Now, Farmers, get in your mort
gagged horses: feed them little If
you have any. We hope you didn't
sell them to buy coal. Why don't
you burn buffalo chips? Put on your
mortgaged harness and sow Your
mortgaged acres with mortgaged ma
chinery and seed. Be sure the crop is
mortgaged for 1922, then thresh. Oh
Lord! You know what that means!
If he don't get all, steal a few bushels
to buy wife and kiddies a pair of
shoes. You can do that easy. Of
course it is the first step to becoming
thief but who cares-the way to do
it Is easy. Sell it in some one else's
name or get some one. that never
farmed to take it to the elevator for
you. Your mortgage is there dis
played to all. The big boss will look
him up ask few questions and you
will get the money. Send for the
shoes and also some coffee. Turn your
old coat upside down, not inside out
you have done that for four years
now. People will talk about it. IF
your wheat is Durum you will get
so cents. Now it is twice that! Why
didn't we hold it till spring? The
man with the mortgage knows why
He knows why all notes are made
due in the fall. 1t is for some one
else to get the big price for the poor
fool farmers crop. How long will it
last in the Comertown country?
Many an acre will go back to sod
this year for the farmers have not
taken any interest--the poor old
mortgaged horses have died and the
men are gone or going. They have
tried their best and lost all for 12
years. Us unfoItunates have worked
and shaved for nothing, so what is
the use!

FREIGHT REDUC.
ton SOUGHT

Helena, Montana, March II: Every
railroad in Montana was today nam
ed as defendant in an action filed
with the state railroad commission
by Attorney General Wellington D.
Rankin asking for a reduction of ex-
listing freight rates. The complaint
urged that hearings be held as soon
as possible that the level of freight
rates within the state be reduced
horizontally to just, fair, equitable
and reasonable basis.
The complaint charges that exist
ing rates produce many undue pre-
ferences and unjust determinations
between localities and between per-
sons within said state and that such
increase in fenght rates resulted and
now results in the imposition of un-
just, unfair and unreasonable rates
and charges for the services rendered
by such carriers, ard works a mani
fest injustice upon the producers of
raw materials, and upon consumers
and upon shippers of freight and the
the people of the state of Montana as
whole and retards the development
Of the resources of the state"
The attorney general complains
that the increased rates were ordered
at a time when the cost of labor, ma
teriaIs and Of hauling freight was at
the peak and "that since such time
there have been and now are marked
decreases in the cost of railroad labor
and in the cost of railroad material"
It is also charged that in the face
of decreased costs to the railroads
they have maintained "and do now
maintain, notwithstanding the state
wide protests of shippers and of the
public generally, said excessive, un-
reasonable and exhorbitant charges,
rates and tolls"
The complaint sets forth that the
state railroad commission has full and
complete jurisdiction over intrastate
freight rates and is empowered to or
der a proper reduction.
