Poor Wheat Outlook
Sends Market Higher
BY Universal Service.

CHICAGO. April Ia. - Growing
seriousness of the poor outlook for
the new wheat crop finally swung
May wheat. the old crop delivery,
into new high ground today. In
fact, all months hit new levels.
Wheat closed x to Ia cents
higher; corn was % to Is cent ad-
vanced; oats were * to q cent
higher: rye ruled y to 1 cent
higher, and barley closed steady.
Seaboard houses bought May rye
and sold the July. Speculative
trade in this grain is poor. Pro-
visions ruled easy due to heavy
realizing sales through commission
houses. Lard closed 1914 to Is
cents lower, and ribs were 10 to
1914 cents lower.

Ia the opinion of Dr. Wolff, a
solution TO this grave difficulty can
be found without recourse to yary-
ing the number of grains of gold
behind the dollar by regulation of
the total volume of circulation OF
both currency and bank credit,
principally through regulation of
the volume of money of account
which plays a role nine times as
important as currency itself, in
proportion to the volume of pro-
duction-that is. TO the actual re.
quirements of business on a stabil-
ICED dollar basis. This. he claims,
would have the further advantage
of stabilizing the value OF gold
itself in relation to the good dol
lar, this being automatically accom-
plished because the average price
level would no longer change

JULY AND AUGUST ARE
HEALTHIEST MONTHS

The death rate for Montana dur
ing 1922 was slightly higher than for
1921 statistice of the State Health
Department show. There were a
total of 5,1O5 deaths in the state in
1922 as against 1895 during 1921,
an increase of 410, raising the death
rate from 80 per 1000 in 1921 to
SO per 1000 in 1922.
Of the 5,1O5 deaths we find the
following particulars; 3,154 were
males and 1851 were females, from
which may be deducted that being a
woman is a safer occupation than
being a man. 2,212 were single and
1860 married, which would indicate
that a single person had a harder
time to live than a married person,
comic supplements to the contrary.
July and August appear to be the
healthiest months, having 364 and
357 deaths respectively during 1922.
March, with 681. has the greatest
number of fatalities for the year,
and is followed by December with
449.
Diseases causing the greatest mum
Der of fatalities. are, heart, $685.;
pneumonia, (including broncho) 547;
early infancy, 447; accidental, 394;
tuberculosis Gall forms) SOL; canoe
(all forms) 338; premature birth,
266; ~apoplexy, 265; ~nephritis, 255;
and influenza 1872.
76O deaths occurred in 1922 in
children under one year, making the
infant mortality rate 69.6 per 1000
living births, against 827 in 1921,
with a rate of 68.2. This increased
rate is due to the fact that 1O,936
births were reported in 1922 while
1927 were reported in 1921.

PURSE But
RECEIVERS MONEY

Mrs. Francis B. Head, who spent
several days in the city this week,
met with an unpleasant experience
Wednesday evening, just as she was
about to depart on No. 3. On her
way to the train she stopped in at
Mamanas' repair shop, corner Main
and Third street, to secure some
small article or service, and after
paying Mamanas, left her purse, con-
tanning 500 in cash, which she had
laid down, in the place. She had
only a short time to reach her train
and hurried to the depot but missed
her pocketbook before going aboard.
She hurried back to the shoe shop
expecting to find it there, but Mama,
mas told her he had not seen it and
didn't know anything about it.
Mrs. Head remained in the city
and this morning went to attorney
Marion who secured a search warrant
With Policeman Nichol they went to
the Mamanas place and demanded
the purse and the money. Mamanas
set up the plea made the night be-
fore that he knew nothing about it,
but soon weakened and said he would
pay $50 rather than have any trouble
about it. The purse was not found.

Fashions Forecast By
Buttrey's Buyer

Fall fashions were forecast in a
letter which the Buttrey-Swift Co.
reviewed recently from Mrs. Buttrey
who is now purchasing fall styles
for the stores at Wolf Point and
Havre.
Mrs. Buttrey said that coat dresses
in the long lines with side fasten-
ings, either tie or buckle, would be
the predominating style for wool and
that the long draped effects would
be carried out successfully in the
silk gowns for dinner and afternoon
wear.
Grays seem to be the favorite col
ors for afternoon wear with strapped
pumps of the same color. Browns
and tans will be popular as will black
and blue for street.
Coat models in the unbelted show
the same style tendencies. The coats
are nearly all trimmed with fur and
elephant gray is the new color. JAG
quettes with pleated skirts are still
very popular for street wear
Millinery this fall will be distin-
guished by the smaller shapes in
bright colors. While the market is
crowded with buyers and desirable
merchandise is hard to get, Mrs.
Buttrey has been very successful, Sc
some of the leading imported
for these stores. Early models
are beginning to appear in the win
dows of Buttrey's.

SUMMER FALLOWED
FIELD YIELDS "a BU

The Martin Jacobs farm, four
miles west of here, offers this season
one of the most remarkable contrasts
between summer fallowed and fall
plowed land ever found. This spring
Mr.. Jacobs seeded in wheat a 90
acre field that was summer fallowed
and summer titled last season. Adj
joining this field was 25 acres that
was plowed last fall. This he also
seeded to wheat.
The 90-acre field did well from
the start and had sufficient moisture
to carry it through the dry spell
until the rains began June 10. The
25-acre piece was badly hurt by the
dry spring and a myriad of grass
hoppers Matched in it while the sum-
mer fallow was practically free from
them except where it Joined the fall
plowed field. The hoppers took most
of the wheat that survived the
drought ON the 25-acre piece. The
result as told by the threshing ma
chine was: on the go acres, 2150
bushels or practically "a bushels TO
the acre; on the 25 acres, 40 bushels
or less than enough to pay the ex-
pense of threshing it.
This is perhaps an extreme case,
but it proves none the less what can
and often does happen.

Wind Gets 4 to 8 Years

Otto Wind, formerly of Glasgow,
who last fall was arrested on grand
larceny charge, it being alleged that
he had stolen a Ford touring. car be-
longing to Chris Wolstad, a farmer
residing south of Wolf Point, plead
guilty to the charge before Judge
Leiper on Tuesday and was sentenced
to from four to eight years, and will
be taken to the State Penitentiary at
Deer Lodge in few days. Mr.. Wind
has been in jail here since last fall,
being unable to get bondsmen.
The Ford car enyolveda ilAthss case.
had been stolen during the threshing
season last fall, but the car was not
found until a short time ago. Sheriff
Davis worked on the case nearly three
months when sufficient evidence was
picked up to satisfy the authorities
that Wind was the guilty party, and
consequently in February information
was filed in District Court, charging
Wind with the crime. When the in
formation was filed Wind evidently
got cold feet, so he proceeded to write
a letter to a friend of his residing
uOItu VI GldSSOW. L HIS l6II6T Wluu
had slipped to party here in town to
mail, as he was not permitted to go
to the postoffice or write letters with
out being censored by the sheriffs
force, and the party to whom he had
given the letter did not mail it, but
turned it over to Mr.. Davis, the sher-
iff. The contents of this letter gave
him away. He had written his friend
that the sheriff knew everything and
telling his friend the car was located
in vacant building some 40 miles
north of Glasgow, asked him to take
the car into Glasgow and leave it in
the street some place, presumably so
the police or some one would find it,
and thus probably clear him, if the
sheriff's force would be unable to find
the car.
However when told of the Sheriff
having gained possession of the letter
above referred to, Mr. Wind gave up
and signed an affidavit before County
Attorney Hoover to the effect that he
would plead guilty, which he did be-
fore Judge Leiper on Tuesday of this
week.

1922 Tax Sale Is
Held Invalid
Opinion Asked by McCone County
Prosecutor Based on Recently
Made Law

Helena, March 17.-Tax sales, il
any, resulting from delinquencies in
! payment OF 1922 taxes are invalid and
all taxes and penalties which may
have been collected under such sales
must be refunded to an opinion given
out Friday by Attorney General w. d.
Rankin IN reply to an inquiry from
county Attorney II. A. Hoover of Cir
Gle
IN his opinion the attorney general
quotes Section | of Chapter l of the
laws of the recent legislative assembly
as follows:
No property upon which taxes of
any sort have been levied for the
year 1922 shall be sold for such de-
linquent taxes until the first day of
UGeober, 1925, and Section of the
s.sne law as follows:
in all cases where such penalty
90 per cent? has been paid on taxes
delinquent for the year 1922, such
penalty shall be refunded by the board
OF county commissioners of the city
council, as the case may be, upon
claims filed therefor in the same man
ner as other claims are filed, as re-
quired by law"
Ine attorney general states that the
only question to be determined is
whether the statute is valid insofar as
il attempts to operate retroactively
which ne holds the act does in that it
expressly declares to be retroactive
by providing that the penalties al
ready collected should be refunded
and by making the act apply to all
property on which taxes were levied
for 1922.
He holds the act does not impair
vested rights, being simply remedial
act, but that the purchaser of prop
erty already sold has no vested right
in the property but has merely an
incheate right that may or may not
ripen INTO a complete title.
1t is my opinion, therefore," the
general decides, that sales
CT property for taxes levied for the
year 1892, paade before the passage
and approval Of Chapter l of the laws
Of the eighteenth legislative assembly,
are Invalid and that all penalties col
lected thereby, as well as the original
Lax, must be refunded upon proper
claims therefor being presented with
n the time named in the statute"
