LEADS IN
CERTIFICATE SALE

Montana leads the Northwest states
in the sale of the new issue of United
States treasury savings certificates,
according to Postmaster P. L. Herring,
who has just received sales figures
from the ninth district headquarters
at Minneapolis.
During January and February-the
period for which comparative figures
are now available-the people of Mon
tana invested S15O,OOO in certificates.
This is an average Of rs cents for
every person in the state.
Postmaster Herring looks for an in
creasing local demand for this in
vestment as the certificates have many
attractive features. They are a direct
government obligation and pay inter-
est at Az per CEN compounded semi
annually, This compares favorably
with the rates of other government
issues. The certificates have added at
fractions such as the redemption
privilege, and the registration feature
protects the owner against loss
of any kind.
They may be purchased at the post
office in three denominations costing
500, $50 and 800, which at the end of
five years will be worth $25, 500 and
$1,000.

THE SONG OF THE CHICKADEE

Chick-a-dee, a Chick-a-dee,
See me skip from tree to tree.
This warm sun entices me out,
That l may have another bout.
Frolic, frolic, all day long,
List to the lifting of my song.
Chick-a-dee, a C~hick-a-dee, T.
Life is happy, gay and free.
Take a hint and live like me,
And my wisdom you will see.
"Just for today" suffices me,
What hinders you? Be free, be free
Won't you learn from just little me?
Chick-a-dee, a Chick-a-dee,
ALPS as joyous as a be.
When you realize spring has come,
And that life has just begun.
Why be depressed? 1t nought avails
Cheer up, cheer up, nothing ails,
and the wind will fill your sails
Chick-a-dee, a C~hick-adee,
Are you blind? Why won't you see?
This is the motto for me and thee.
Sing, oh sing, just follow me,
This is the song of the Chick-a-dee.

UP AGAINST OLD LAW

Iowa is now to WELD another wea-
pom in the fight against moonshiners
and bootleggers.
The Willis Campbell law recently
passed by congress, revise the old
revenue laws providing heavy pen
alties for illicit distilling of liquor and
will be pressed into immediate use as
a final blow to drive the prohibition
violators out of the state.
Strangely enough, this most power
full new weapon was originally design
ed years ago to protect the big dis
tillers from the illicit competition of
moonshiners. 1t lays a moonshiner
liable to a tax of $3.50 a gallon on
illicit booze, in addition to an annual
tax Of $4,000 and a further penalty of
$1,000.
This clause which will strike a body
blow at Iowa moonshiners, is the pro-
vision that these taxes must be as
sessed against personal property.
Homes may be sold outright when
owned by moonshiners to satisfy the
fines. When leased they may be OBJ
tanned by court action and sold at
auction, thus making house owners
responsible for the characters of their
tenants. The $4,000 and $500 fines
may both be assessed in the full a.
mounts, regardless of whether the
m%oonshiner has been caught making
one glass or so gallons of liquor.
The old laws have proved remark
ably effective in other states and will
be revived Immediately in Iowa.

KNOCKERS AND BOOSTERS

In the beginning the Creator made
all the good creatures in the world,
the spirit of evil brooded nightly and
he introduced into the mind and heart
of men the seed of jealousy and ill
will. When the evil work had become
manifest in many deeds by man
against each other, the devil gathered
all the worst thoughts of all men,
caused them to take shape, clothed
them with suspicion, shod mar with
envy, gave his a yellow streak for a
backbone and christened him "A
Knocker."
The product was fearful to contem-
plate, so the All-wise Creator decided
to make something to counteract it;
so he took a sunbeam, the heart of a
child, the of beauty in flowers,
fields and the great outdoors, formed
them into the shape Of an upright man,
girded him with equality and justice,
armed him with mercy, righteousness
and good will and named him "A
Booster"
Ever since these two were created.
man has had the privilege of choosing
his own associates.

WAS SEEDING BEFORE
COLUMBUS SET SAIL

The forest service has placed two
distinctive and unusual though COM
pelling window displays in the win
dows of two Kalispell stores which
ably bring out the need Of forest pro-
lection.
In n window are the cross Sec
tons of two fir trees, one a giant
tree 430 years old. The tree was cut
in the fall of 1920 by cutters working
for John Laur. The rings of the tree
show it to have started it's growth in
149O, or two years before Columbus
discovered America. This tree has
lived during the entire birth and
growth Of the American nation and
was ~ years old at the time of the

FORT DOUGLAS,
utah, IS G. N. 7.
CAMP This YEAR
Young Men from Montana, Utah, WyO.
ming, Idaho and Nevada Will
Receive Free Training.

To date, the response to the Wal
Departments announcement that there
is to be held this summer a Citizens
Military Training camp at Fort Doug
las, Utah, for the young men of Utah,
Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada and Mon
tana, is disappointing when it is con-
sidered what a wonderful opportunity
the government is placing before the
young men of these states. That any
young man., who can possibly get away
should fail to long for and grasp such
a summers vacation is incomprehensi-
BILE. Think Of tat trip to Salt Lake
City; a month of healthy outdoor &C.
tivity; engaging in athletic competi-
tons; supplied with plenty of ammu-
milton for rifle practice; a chance to
make the acquaintance of other young
men from all parts of this area, and
acquire knowledge Of III wonderful
finland Empire;" and an opportunity
to see many points of interest in and
around Salt Lake City.
Fort Douglas is an ideal spot for
such a camp, situated on a plateau 800
feet above Salt Lake City, with a won
derful view of the city, valley and
the rugged mountains that surround
it. 1t is only 20 minutes by trolly
from the fort to the heart of the city
where there are many forms Of amuse-
ment, and things of interest to occupy
the leisure time of the students. Swim
ming, dancing and amusement park at
Saltair, Is miles distant On the shores
of Salt Lake, provide an inexpensive
and pleasant motive for a short trip.
All this at little or no cost to the
students. The government furnishes
transportation, food, uniforms and
equipment. Something must be wrong,
but what is it? There must be ten
thousand eligible young men in this
area, yet to date it looks as if there
was going to be difficulty in finding
a thousand with red blood in their
veins.
Wake up, young men, and get into
the game. The instruction you will
receive this summer may be invalu-
able in later years. Don't delay in
getting in your applications as all ap-
plications must reach the headquarters
of the 104th Division at Fort Douglas,
before May 31st. Priority will be CIV
en- to applications as they are received
during the month of May.
Send your applications today.

SMALL WOOL GROWERS
SHOULD HOLD FOR PRICE
Advice of County Agent is to Get
Together and Command Top
Prices for Small Clips

Conditions have reversed themselves
for the wool growers this spring. A
year ago the sheepmen had to almost
give their wool away and in giving
it away the buyers were not very an
xious to take it and not very many
buyers were in this section. But now
the wool growers are coming to their
own thru cooperation, organization
and organized marketing and tariff
protection.
Wool buyers have been in this Sec
ton often since January, and started
out offering 80 cents for the best and
of course they said that was good and
top notch better contract. But no
clips were reported sold in this section.
Last week two of the largest clips in
the county were sold for 40 cents f.
O. b. Glasgow. These were good clips
but very attractive prices are being
made for other clips of coarse wool
at 35 cents and over and 80 cents for
* blood.
An effort is being made to help the
owners of small clips to get the ad-
vantage of the price paid for the large
clips. The plan is to have the small
clips all brought to Glasgow and be-
tween the Goth of June and the first
Of July arrangements will be made
to have three or five buyers here to
bid on the wool. If the owners of
small clips would keep their coarse
wool together and the fine wool to-
geer the small clips could be included
with the large clips and receive the
same price. 1t is impossible for a
small clip to be sold separately and get
the top price because the buyers are
not acquainted with the clips nor the
man. The wool grower is urged to
pull out the cockel burrs, keep sheep
off spear grass range as much as
possible and not tie the wool with sisal
binding Irvine.
If the owners of small clips will
work together in the way suggested
they will receive a much better price
because there will be several buyers
present andh heretofore the buyers
would hardly look at a small clip and
would finally offer three to five cents
less than what it was worth and the
small sheep mar had to accept it as
that was the only way out of it to get
his wool to the market.
The advice is to assist the small
sheepman holding out for a better
price and to bring your wool to Glas.
gov and get the advantage of several
buyers instead of one and perhaps
none.

ROBBERS BUNGLE ATTEMPT
TO ROB BANK AT MAD0C
Safe Proves too Much for Them to
Break and Gun Is Only Re-
ward Of Nights Work.

During. the wee small hours of last
Sunday morning some amateur safe
crackers tried their luck on the State
Bank Of Madoc and while they were
not molested in the least in their eff
forts to extract from their neighbour
ing village, some of it's residents hard
earned cash they met with but DOR
success. The only thing of any value
that has been missed by the officers
of the bank is a revolver which was
taken from one of the drawers.
It is evident that entrance was
gained through n of the windows
in the rear of the bank after which
an attempt was made to open the door
of the vault. The combination dial
was knocked off from the door and
the bolt lever was bent in their eff
forts to open it. The large iron
hinges on the door showed the effects
OF a sledge hammer as we'll as other
fixtures pertaining to the vault door.
About two dozen burned matches lay
on the floor in front of the door of
the vault and it is evident that an at
tempt was made to work the combin-
alton before using force.
The discovery was first noticed by
the cashier, Carl B. Ross, late Sunday
afternoon, who notified the sheriff's
office to that effect. A search was
made of the surrounding country and
up into Canada for the suspects who
are well known to the county officials
as well as to the officials in some
counties in the western part of the
state, but to date no trace Of the fu-
gltlves has been found.
Word was sent to the various sher-
ifs in eastern Montana and on Tues
day a wire was received from Sheriff
Hall of Valley county that he was
holding two men that answered the
description somewhat, that was fur
nished by the sheriff's office at SEQ
hey. Sheriff Martin left Immediately
for Glasgow but on arriving there
found the parties that had been picked
up by the Valley county sheriff were
not the ones he was looking for.
1t was necessary to send to Min
neapolis for an expert to open the
door of the vault before the bank
could resume business. The expert
arrived in Madoc on Wednesdays
train and after two hours work had
the door open and everything inside
the vault was found as it was left

After chicks are Matched they should
not be fed for at least "a hours, says
Prof. w. F. Schoppe, poultryman at
Montana State college. For the next
ten days they should be given feed
four or five times a day, but never
allowed to have all that they want to
eat, The aim in this early feeding
should be to keep the chicken alwoys
a little hungry. Sour skim milk, chick
en- grit, oyster shell and charcoal
should be to keep the chickens always
times from the start. The practice
at the Montana experiment station
poultry plant is to feed four or five
times a day for the first few days, Civ
ing the chicks what they will clean up
in from ten to fifteen minutes. Poul-
trymen of Montana may obtain the

has been reported from a few Mon

gained a strong foothold IT the state,

very rapidly, according TO .. E. Sip

bees are more susceptible to this dis
ease than Italian bees. The disease is
more prevalent during spring and ear
ly summer months. Colonies which
are weak and short of stores usually
are first affected. Colonies which
come through the winter in a weak

CONSOLIDATED GAS co.
DIVIDEND TO BE PAID
NJ. Y. Edison to Rescue With
Extra Disbursement.

The Consolidated Gas Company's
executive committee declared yesterday
the regular dividend of $1.75 a share
on its capital stock, payable on March
10 to its stock OF record on February
., which was something of surprise to
the financial district, which expected
that action on the dividend would be
deferred until the United States Su-
preme Court should have handed down
q decision on the higher rate case.
Pending the release OF about $4,000, 900
tied up in the action, it was believed
that the company would have no money
with which to pay the dividend.
The New York Edison Company,
however. came to the rescue with an
extra dividend of per cent. All of
that conlpany's capital stock Is owned
by the Gas company and that extra dis
bursement, sl,734,S26, took care of
practically all OF the quarterly disbuTse-
mcnt OF the parent company. which ag-
gregatod s1.750,000.
After yesterdays meeting Of the gas
company's executive committee the fol-
lowing statement was given out
AT its regular monthly meeting to-
clarec an extra dividend out of It's UNI
divided surplus earnings of 2 per cent.
upon its capital stock, all of which is
held by the Consolidated Gas Company,

Company to declare a dividend of s1.75
