GRASSHOPPER POISON
is NOW AVAILABLE

"In spite of the cool weather, the
grasshoppers are continuing to hatch
in various parts Of the county. While
the cool weather will undoubtedly re-
suit in the death of a lot of these
pests. sufficient numbers will undoubt-
edly remain to require the poisoning
of certain areas" says R. E. Bodley,
county agent.
"Where farmers are looking over
their land every few days, and find
where the grasshoppers are the thick
est, and poison over these areas, best
results are being secured.
Supplies of poison materials are
available for distribution from Boze-
man. Manhattan, Three Forks and
WilIovcreek. A sufficient supply OF
poison materials is now on hand to
meet the demand for the next few
DAYS. BY that time we expect to have
sufficient materials on hand to meet
the requirements for the balance Of
the season."

LAD SHOOTS CHUM-
INJURY NOT DANGEROUS:

Albert Nicholson, of Pray, was acci-
dentally shot by a companion while
out hunting and is now at the hos
pital at Chico Hot Springs, but is not
dangerously injured, it is said.
Nicholson and a chum, whose name
was not given, went into the hills IN
search of game. In negotiating a
mountain side at a time when the
Pray boy was in the lead, the gun Of
his friend was accidentally dis
charged, the shot striking Nicholson
in the right leg.
The injured youth was given first
aid and taken to his home. Later he
was taken to the hospital at Chico.
where it was found the bullet had
entered the fleshy part of the leg and
lodged in the bone. An operation
was performed and the surgeon found
it necessary to chisel away a portion
of the leg bone to remove the bullet.
The boy, who is a son of Mrs. j. P.
johnson, of Pray, is said to be get
ting along nicely and it is believed he
will have no serious results from the
unfortunate accident.

HARDING MAY ASK
CONGRESS TO LIFT
SHIP LIQUOR LID

Washington, June 12.-There were
increasing indications in high official
circles here today that President
Harding might ask congress when it
reassembles next fall to modify the
prohibition law as it affects the ear
rying of liquor on board foreign YES
sells in American waters.
The president was said to believe
that congress never intended the gov
eminent to be confronted with the sit
uation it now is called upon to meet
by the objections of foreign powers
in regard to the new rigorous ship
liquor ban. :
In the present circumstances, it was
added, Mr.. Harding sees no possible
course open to him but to enforce to
the letter the Volstead act as it re-
Gently was interpreted by the supreme
court. He believes that no executive
regulation he could issue could prop
erly modify application Of the courts
IOpinion and that only an act Of con-
gress would be sufficient.
Should the administration decide to
make such Recommendation when con
gress re-assembles in December, it i
regarded SIS certain that one of ths

Mrs. banner said, she could not sleep,
that about 10 o'clock Danner got up
and busted himself outside the tent
for about two hours and then returned.
In the morning there was a mound
of earth within a few feet of the tent

shut" So
The next morning Banner annaun-

SKIDLES5 ROADS
NATION s PROBLEM
Association Examines
Different Material Types.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Slow to
make the modern highway skid-proof
is an engineering problem to which
the National Motorists Association is
going to direct it's attention this COM
ing year. The number of automobile
accidents accompanied by fatalities
which can-be attributed to slippery
pavement surfaces has been sufficient
in past years to make solution of the
problem imperative.
An announcement just made public
says in part:
Thus far the problem of construct
ing and maintaining a smooth non
skid road has baffled the skill of the
engineer. The only non-skid pave
meNts in the country today are those
constructed of brick. or blocks of
granite.
"A concrete roadway can be made
non-skid by scarifying or roughening
the surface before the top finishing
hardens. but experience shows that it
will not stay non-skid Earth, waste,
oil drfppings from traffic, all fill up
the crevices in short order, with the
result that the road is soon without
the non-skid feature"
Feeling that the time has come
when the utmost in skill and science
should be brought into play in build
ing American highways, the National
Motorists Association intends to coop
crate to the fullest extent. A study
will be made to determine whether
Concrete and asphalt Surfaces can be
made as sldd-proof as tF1ck or granite

Dealing in real estate would not be

yesterday by Robert Jemison, ST.,
prominent real estate man, in speak
ing to the board about his recent visit
to Europe.
''Reclaiming lands torn by shot and
shell is IAN expensive Job" Jemison
said, sit costs about $500 more an
acre to reclaim the land than our best
land would bring
Jenison believes that Germany
should pay every penny Of her in
oemnity. and that she is in better con-
dition financially than ever before.
"AH Germany lost in the war was a
number of non-producing men," he
rointed out Her lands were not
touched by war.
