places and Helena and has carried me

and back 1t has been a grand old
buggy and today I'll bet that it will
stand more hard usage than nine out
of ten of the modern buggies built.
1t is made of the best grained season
ed hickory and was certainly thing
of beauty when took my first ride
in it. 1t was a heightened buggy as
well as one that boosted the rider
high in the air."
Had Wonderful Career
During its active life, this buggy
it has been on the retired list for
several years now-had a wonderful
career. 1t has carried valuable
quantities of gold dust many time.
1t has travelled for days across the
burning alkali plains; it has rolled
hundreds of miles over snow-covered
bench lands; it has been soaked in
the raging torrents of mountain can
yOns; it has upset and been set up
again many times, but never once
has it failed to make good and de-
liver its occupants safely at their
destination.
The seat of the buggy was raised
high in the air upon two springs, one
before and one behind. 1t shows the
marks of it's hard life in country
of hard roads. It's top wore out and
was taken off long ago. The cushion
is gone. It's bright coat of paint is
a thing of the past. Only the iron
frame of the dashboard is left; but
the running gears-and it is still a
buggy as long as its running gears
are in good shape.
Mr.. Graeter takes good care of his
old friend. 1t dwells peacefully in
a shed built for it's especial care.
Other vehicles may not associate
with this aristocrat.
Here the first buggy ever brought
to Montana awaits it's end. It's flu
ture cannot be predicted. Graeter
has offered it to the state historical
library, but his offer was refused

His story of once winning the Ken
lucky derby as pickaninny jockey,
strapped to the back of the winner of

of literary prominence. To have
heard old "Uncle Joe" tell it himself

interesting. For many years his

ity has been familiar to Missoulians.
1t is not known just when "Uncle

believed to have been about 20 years

Five major projects looking toward
the rehabilitation of Montana agri-
culture and industry have been out
lined on the 1923 program of the
Montana Development association by
the directors of the organization, ac-
cording to their official bulletin just
issued here.
The association will undertake to
carry out the following:
Continue the summer tillage
campaign;
Assist in establishing a perma-
nent agriculture through diversified
ton;
Become acquainted with the
resources and possibilities of Mon
tana by gathering accurate data and
assist in extending farm studies
throughout the state;
4-Give Montana square deal by
truthful publicity;
5-Assist in marketing the states
products to the best advantage.
Last Years Work
During the past year the associa-
ton, which is composed of several
thousand business and professional
men from all sections of the state,
conducted an intensive campaign for
better farming through summer till
age.
This campaign, according to the as
sociation bulletin, resulted in the or
ganizing Of 400 farmers in summer
tillage clubs and in the proper prep
aration of approximately half a mil
lion acres of land last summer for
next seasons crop.
The effect of this campaign on
crop production will not be known |
until next harvest and the association |
plans to keep an accurate history and |
record of every field titled by mem
bers of the various clubs. The till
age work has been in the nature of
a contest among club members and
$4,000 in prizes will be awarded to
those farmers with the best records /
next fall.
with the summer tillage cam
paign we'll under way" says the bull
letin, ''the next logical step in the
better farming program is one of
supreme ce-diversification.
The association will use every means
of encouraging this in the belief that,
although the farmer may rely upon
certain crops for the major part of
his income, his first consideration
should be to grow living for him
self and family on his own farm.
This means good garden, then
corn and other forage to feed live
stock, and then something to feed it
to-a few cows, pigsrand poultry"
Truthful Publicity
The association has already active
ly begun work on the project of "giv-
ing Montana a square deal by truth
full publicity" according to the bull
letin, which explains that the organi-
cation has definitely arranged to CO.
operate with the Great Northern,
Northern Pacific and Chicago, Bur-
Iington and Quincy railroads in their
million dollar advertising campaign
of the northwest next year.
The association will attempt to fur
nish the managers of the campaign
with accurate data from all parts of
the state and will supply information
to those answering the advertise
ments concerning Montana.

RULER ORDERED WIFE SLAIN
Emperor Constantine Had Faustina
Smothered to Death Because
She Accused Stepson.

Flavia Maximinna Faustina was the
second wife of Constantine the Great.
In the year SO8 her father took her to
Gaul, where he gave her in marriage
to the Emperor Constantine. She was
for long time most exemplary wife
and mother. Her devotion to her hus-
band was such that she even sacri-
feed her fathers life to him, after DIS
covering that her parent was involved
In q plot against Constantines life.
Faustina has been accused Of stain
ing the last years of her life by the
commission of many crimes, among
others that Of causing the death OF
Crispus, the son of Constantine by
former wife, by making false accusa-
tiops against him.
Constantine revenged himself on
Faustina for having caused his sons
death by having her suffocated in
warm bath.-Detroit News.

Three Thousand Fold.

Seventy ears were raised from one
grain of wheat in an experiment at
South Hornchurch, Essex. England.
The seed was sown in March in pit
4 yard wide and Is inches deep. As
soon as sprouts appeared they were
lightly covered with earth, and from
then all through the summer the
sprouting grain was covered over and
over again until the pit was full and
its surface covered with a grass of
wheat. The shoots remained Quiescent
during the winter, but in spring grew
rapidly. and eventually, in the follow
ing autumn, IS stalks were cut, of
which no fewer than seventy had
ripened ears. These seventy ears
weighed over a quarter of a pound
and averaged forty-four grains to the
ear. Surely an amazing harvest from
one seed.

THE FUTURE OF LEAD.

1t is the opinion of mining men in
the west that the price of lead will
average higher in the future than in
the past They base their reasoning
for this on the fact that the telegraph
and telephone wires in the cities are
all going underground in lead cables,
and that the consumption of lead in
automobile batteries is permanent and
is an entirely new addition to lead
consumption; also, the consumption
for paint will continue at a rate equal
to if not greater than at any time in
the past
The revenue department has fixed
the price of lead at 415c, for use in
valuing mines, and in case it is neces-
sary to value a new mine under the
discovery clause of the income tax
law. if the average price of lead is to
rule at a higher level in the future
than in the past, the treasury depart
ment should recognize the fact
Men in a position to know say that
it is impossible to produce lead at
cost equal to the old figures prior to
the war. and they do not see any hope
of getting costs down to anywhere
near the pre-war level; so that should
the demand fall off sufficiently to bring
the selling price down. the high cost
producers would have to close up
thereby forcing the price of lead up
again. This same line of reasoning |
was pursued n few years ago in the |
matter of copper, but it apparently |
did not work out, due to the fact that
the copper producers, instead of clos
ing up when the price of the metal
went below cost. kept on producing
md stored their product; also, the
European market was partly lost.
The automobile industry has nearly
cached the saturation point. or. at
east the buying power of the people
n the United States has about been
cached, so that in the future sales
viii be more in the nature CT replace
nents. This, of course would not re-
ult in any decrease in the use of lead d,
or batteries as it would be necessary
o use batteries regardless of whether
? not the car was new or old
Another exceedingly important rea-
on for believing that the price Of
lad may continue at a higher level
han before the war is that no large
lad mines, with the exception of the II
burma mines in Asia, have been de-
eloped in the last eight or ten years.
cad is fortunate in having an excep-
onaily diversified consumption. and
ne demand for it seems to be widen
lg. This fact, coupled with the pos
biiity OF having a smaller world sup
lyin the future is sufficient to make
ad producers optimistic All these
'njectures are. of course. subject to II
mango by unforeseen circumstances.
