felt that they were very much on their
guard, anxlously waiting an opportuni-
ty to depart. He left the table, and
strolled out on TO the promenade. SO
far as he could observe. this move
ment attracted no attention, although
a moment later his eyes plainly caught
bit of drapery drawn slightly aside
at one Of the cabin windows Of the
Seminole, and. he felt convinced, the
quick gesture of a woman's hand.
, There was a woman on board. then
This certainty of knowledge by evil
dence Of his own eyes, set his blood
leaplng. Whatever the purposes Of
these people he was again upon the
right trail A little later one of the
fellows loafing on the pier, rather
heavily built man, with closely clipped
red mustache, and a scar over one
eye slowly crossed the deck, and EN-
tered the cabin. He came forth again
a moment later, asked some question
OF the workmen below and then clam
bered back carelessly over the rail-,
Joining his companion ON the pier.
"A half hour yet; 1t was quite job
toe boys had, but they are making
time. Come over here n minute"
They walked forward, out OF ear
shot from where West sat on bench
In the sun. He watched the fellows
closely, yet without neglecting the boat,
but they neither glanced toward him,
or seemed aware of his existence. His
whole thought centered on the early
arrival OF McAdams. Until the detec-
tive came, there was nothing he could
do but sit there quietly and wait. But
what If the necessary repairs were
completed. and the Seminole sailed be
fore Mac got there? Was there any
means In his power by which this could
be prevented? The only suggestion
which came to him was the picking
Of quarrel in some way, with the two
men ashore. The boat would never
depart unless they were aboard, as
they were evidently the leaders OF the
gang, yet this would be most desper-
ate expedient, to be resorted to only
when all other effort had failed. Be
sides II would put them on their
guard, and possibly avail nothing. Why
not speak to the fellows pleasantly,
and naturailyY They had no reason to
be suspicious OF him; he was but one
of many others lounging Idly about the
pier. His curiosity would seem reas-
enable enough, and he might thus gain
some clue as to their destination. Their,
even If they did sail before Mac ap-
peared, they could be safely intercept
ed in time for rescue.
Circumstances seemed to work to
this end, the two men strolllng care
lessly back toward where he sat, paus
ing within few feet of him, all their
attention apparently riveted upon the
yacht.

A new BUREAU
IN HOME ECONOMICS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. g.
An announcement of unusual signifi-
canoe to both farm and city women
made today by Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace to the effect that
steps will be taken shortly to
strengthen the scientific work of the
the department as related to home
economies" A similar statement
from Secretary Wallace is being made
today by Assistant Secretary Pugs-
ley, who is speaking before the Amer
lean Home Economics Association at
Corvallis, Oregon.
ultimately / have in view making
the home economics work an indie
pendent bureau" said Secretary Wal
lace in his preliminary announcement,
ranking with the other bureaus of
the department, and placing at the
head of it a woman of executive abil-
ity, thorough scientific training and
a broad and sympathetic understand
ing of what is needed to make such a
bureau most helpful to the women of
the country"
Work for women has grown steadily
in the Department of Agriculture. In
1915, what has been called the office
of home economics was created as a
part of the extension service. In this
home economics work a great deal OF
attention has been given to studies
of foods and how best TO use them
labor-saving devices for the home
studies of dress-making and mater
ials, etc. While work of this kind is
planned primarily for the help of wo-
men on the farms, much of it is equal
Iy helpful to women In the cities, anC
especially to those in moderate cir
cumstances who must exercise econ
Iomy and get the greatest value fol
the money spent.
The woman chief of the proposed
new bureau will rank with the chiefs
of the other bureaus of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, attend. week.!

and thus bring the women's viewpOin
into the general work of the depart
ment.

PROFITS IN
WEATHER FORECASTS

Forecasts of weather conditions for
alfalfa harvest are widely distributed
in the vast, particularly in Oklahom,
where 1000 or moree growers receive
the forecasts through the local agents
of the extension service of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
In Utah a rather limited but import
ant frost-warning service for alfalfa
seed growers is in operation.
Seed is largely grown from the
second crop, and if the cas- is late
the harvest and fall frost periods
come close together. As the seec
crop increases in value at the rate OF
about S. a day for each acre of seeC
when nearing maturity, the growers
let the seed stand as long as posi-
bic. When temperatures low enough
to cause damage are predicted by thu
Weather Bureau, it is not unusua
for the seed growers to run theil
cutting machines most of the night
In one section of Utah during a re
cent harvest season fully 500 acres o.
seed were cut after receipt of tn
warnings, at an average saving o
$40 to $50 an acre. Two OF thes'
growers reported that they saved q
least $4,000 as a result of the wealth
or information furnished by Uncle
Sam concerning frost conditions.

CHARLES N. PRAY
Republican Candidate for Nomination as
UNITED STATES SENATOR

Has been a resident of Montana for twenty-five years.
Was county attorney of Chouteau county, before the
county was divided, for four consecutive terms.
He was the representative from Montana in the Six
teth, Sixty-irst and Sixty-second congresses, at a time
when the state had but one congressman. Mr.. Pray was
instrumental in securing the passage of the Threeyear
Homestead law, the Surface Title and Enlarged Homestead
bills and Twenty Million Certificate bill to complete irriga-
ton projects; he was the author of bills which were enacted
for extension of time of homesteaders, relief of homestead
ers, appropriations for surveys, restoring homestead rights,
relief of homesteaders in frestricken districts of the west,
validating entries, extending Communication clause of home
stead law to northern Montana, and for establishment of
Bureau of Mines, Mine Rescue Stations throughout the
country, compensation for injured employees under bureau
and many other measures.
After great opposition in two congresses Mr.. Pray
succeeded in securing the passage of the bill in the house
of representatives, establishing Glacier National park, also
many other senate bills, including a large number of bills
for relief of Montana citizens, originating in both branches.
Circulated and paid for by Chas. N. Pray.

BIG BOSS Is HEAD
Of COLLEGE HERD

Big Boss, the three-year-old boar
which now hoads the Poland China
herd of the Montana Agricultural
College, at Bozeman, has won about
all the honors which a hog can win at
Montana fairs. He won first prize in
the Pig Club GLASS at the jefferson
county fair in 1919, winning with it
a free trip for his owner to the state
fair. He was first in the Spring
Boar Pig Club class there, and GRAND
champion over all breeds, rs well as
first in the open class, and Junior
champion of the fair.
In 1921 he stood second to the
grand champion at the state fair at
Helena, but went down to the Mid
land fair at Billings, the following
week and was placed first yer the
boar that beat him at Helena. There
is not much left in Montana for Big
Boss to win.
Big Boss was bred by H. Walter
of Townsend, Broadwater county
and was sold to Harold Donohue, OF
Whitehall, a member Of the Jefferson
County Pig Club, to carry through
a Pig Club project. The pig was far,
moved April 6, 1919, and Harold
bought him when he was SO days old
At the time, he weighed "a pounds
On September l, Harold weighed him
and he tipped the scales at 22E
pounds. During the period from june
June A to September 1, 80 days, h
gained 2.25 pounds per day. Whel
showed at last seasons fairs, HI
weighed in the 900 notch, being jus
past two years of age.
Harold was a lad of 18 when h
bought the boar, but he had abilit,
TO grow him into a wonderful hog
An Iowa breeder offered Harold $50
for the pig in 1919, but Harold woul
not let him go out of Montana. H
sold him last December to the Uni
versity Of Montana for 500, wher
the boar is now working at the jo
of improving Montana swine.
Harold has now sows whic

COUNTY EGG-LAYING CONTEST

A mortality of less than 10 per
ceent for the year among hens en-
tered in the egglaying contest Of
Soroma county, California, last year
is reported to the United States De
partment of Agriculture by local ex-
tension workers, who worked out thee
feeding formula used in the contest.
The health record Of the hens entered
and their laying average. Of 176 eggs
per hen for the 364 days have led
many local peultrymen to adopt the
management and feeding methods
used in the contest. 1t is estimated
that 80 per cent Of the p~oultrymen
Of the county have changed THEN
method of feeding during the last
five years, due to extension work in

WISE FARMERS WILL
KNOW WHEAT GRADES

To enable farmers and local grain
buyers to meet more satisfactorily
the conditions under which wheat is
handled and graded when it reaches
the terminal market, the extension
services Of Minnesota, North Dakota
and South Dakota, cooperating with
representatives of the United States
Department of Agriculture, are con-
Quoting a know Your Own Wheat
campaign. During the firs ten days
of the campaign, schools were held in
Fargo, N. D., and Bookings, S. D.,
where specialists in handling and
grading wheat gave instructions to
county agents from the three states.
Following this preliminary work,
local meetings of one or two days
each are being held in wheat-produc-
ing counties where the county agents,
assisted by the specialists assigned
for the campaign, are demonstrating
directly to farmers and local grain.
buyers the best methods of handling
and grading wheat for shipment tc
terminal market. Grain-grading ap.
paratus has been supplied to 10 coun.
ties in each of the three states, fol
use under the direction of the county
agents and specialists conducting thu
work.
1t is planned to have farmers ant
buyers attend the same meetings s.
that both may have like information
regarding methods of handling ant
grading. A representative of the de
partment recently spent three week
assisting in the campaigns.
