Where They Arc In Use
Early installations were made on
the Paradise road, at Swampscott.
Mass, and In the village of Colonie,
N. Y, on the highway between Al
bany and Schenectady.
Detroit has Installed them upon
many of the highways leading into
the city through the suburbs and the
surrounding country. The Lincoln
Highway Association las adopted
them for lighting the ideal section Of
the famous national turnpike. this 500
ton now being built in Lake County,
Indiana, and a South American me
tropolis. Santiago. capital of Chile.
has placed an order for $50 of the
units for lighting the suburban roads
approaching a park.
In Florida, a much-traveled pleas
ure highway. the causeway between
Miami and Miami Beach. is to be
lighted with a large number of these
units.
Most interesting of any installations
yet made. however. Is the plan of the
town of Amherst, N. Y. near Buffalo,
to light every mile of roadway within
Its limits with Novalux highway units.
This will require between 1000 and
1900 Of the units. and the work will
not be completed for a year or two.
A total of 100 miles Of roadway will
be illuminated. This will make Am
herst undoubtedly the pest lighted
township in the United States. Two
hundred Of the units are already b.

pike that runs through the town. and
the rest will be supplied as called

Sugar Beets
AN INSURANCE POLICY ON THE FARM

The sugar beet crop has been called an insurance policy for the farm
er, landlord, tenant, banker and merchant.
To insure is to secur against loss, to make sure.
The quality of safety has been recognized in the sugar beet crop by
farmers and others during the years it has been grown in this district.
Hence, they call it "an insurance policy m the farm.
In cash and certain market makes it less of a gamble. It's resistance
to hail and other conditions fatal in g greater degree to most other
crops reduces the chance of loss It's presence in a rotation plan helps
profitably t. increase the use of labor and equipment o n the farm.
Farmers IN this district arc thinking of taking less chances this year
with crops which do n 10 thold out a positive guarantee and which after
leaving the farm give them n oassuranc of participation min higher
prices.
The sugar beet crop answers the need in this district of more assurance
of profit and greater protection against loss in farming.
Under the best sliding scale contract er offered here and a high
guaranteed initial payment sentiment is turning strongly toward sugar
Ibeets as the farmers safest crop.

They must be going somewhere because

Many farmers, 1t was brought out, now

and buy the products named for their

More Economical Credit
AT the conference at Ithaca, N. Y,
those participating felt that a better
understanding between farmers and
bankers would be beneficial to both
At present large amount of the cred
1t used by farmers is in the form of
mercantile credit. which, 1t was point
ed out, is much more expensive for
them than bank credit It was felt that

acquaint farmers with banking facili.
ties. The conference. therefore, rec
commended that the Agricultural Com.
mittee Of the State Bankers Associa

resentatives Of the Farm Bureau and
the State Grange get together for the
purpose of working out programs and
plans for further meetings to be held
in the various counties of the state.
At a conference held at Amherst.
Massachusetts, there were representa-,
tves from Vermont, New Hampshire.
Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con.
necticut. Emphasis was placed on the
Importance of the Boys and Girls
Club work. The New England confer.
ence also felt that the importance OF
bank credit over mercantile credit
should be stressed A resolution was
adopted and is being sent to agricul,
tural committees in each State urging
that they get in touch with their agri-
cultural colleges and map out a pro
gram for educating the farmer In re.
gard to the Importance and the econo-
my of bank credit over mercantile
credit
The emphasis on this resolution
came not SO much from the bankers
present as 1t did from the representa-

Warm praise for the work of
President Alfred Atkinson OF the
Montana College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts and Director F.
B. Lfnfield of the experiment sta
ton at Bozeman is given in re-
ports submitted to the senate by
the special committee appointed to
investigate state institutions, rec
ommendation being made that the
heads of these institutions use
every endeavor to hold down the
cost of operation, in view OF the
financial condition of the state.
The committee, composed of Sena
tors Dearborn of Musselshell, RhOads
of Teton and Duncan of Madison
finds that the total cost of the A. and
M. college for the year ended June
80, 1922, was s670,285, of which
$326,081 were capital expenditures
This shows an increase for 1929
of $4,000 over operating costs OF
four years ago. says the committee,
but this increase of cost follows a
common ratio peculiar to all of our
educational institutions for the same
period.

pers who had protested his joining

Independence in March, 1912.
Ostracized by Store Clothes
When Hamilton arrived at Inde-
pendence he was. dressed in the very
finest of tailor-mades, style and fash
ion in every line. AS result he was
the butt of the jokes of the from
tiersmen, who played all manner of
pranks on the "tenderfoot" and ask
ed Williams if he expected to feed
him to the Injuns.
1t didn't take the lad long to get
next, however, and he rushed over
to the frontier store and snapped
his fine clothes and trimmings for
two suits of good buckskin and was
soon dressed "a la PRAIRIE" while the
storekeeper made fully one hundred
per cent on the transaction.
There were many things in my
life that made me happy, but the hap
piest moment ever experienced was
when | put on my first buckskin suit
and realized that l looked just like

could buy and in the spring of 1912
set forth on hunting, trapping and

Some of the associates of Bill Will
liams and Jack Perkins, who COM
manded the party, which consisted of
eight free trappers, protested against
the taking of so slender and fraiI a
youngster as Hamilton, believing that
he would get sick on their hands
and that during the journey he would
prove an encumbrance and probably
not survive. But Williams was in
sistent on his going and when the
party turned it's horses westward

Hamilton went along, clad in his

THE work of Presiden< Alfred At
kinsOn and the agricultural college
has, from an educational standpoint,
been recommended very highly. The
practical work, which this institution
is also carrying on for our agricul-
tnral industry, is very valuable.
No Well-Founded Criticism
AS with our other educational in
situations, there seems to be no we'll
founded criticism. We found In the
instance of this college the same as
with other institutions, that the large
cost of operation on the surface indi-
Gates a thorough examination of its
business administration would eff
feet saving in the total costs. While
your committee approves the appro-
priatiOns allowed for the operation of

two years, we would not recommend
further cuts in the allowance unless
it we're possible to recommend the
specific charges that could be elm
mated or reduced"

wild Life Gives Him Health

From the time the party started
Hamilton improved in health and
strength and the frail boy developed
into muscular man and hardy from
tiersman. The youngster, whose
death within a short time had been
predicted by st. Louis best physi-
clans, lived for sc years and 10 days
longer, hardly ever experiencing a
sick day, and surviving hundreds of
combats with savage Indians in which
scores of redmen were killed and
many of his companions met death.
In the declining years of his life,
which were spent near Columbus, in
the Yellowstone valley, most of his
time being devoted to hunting, trap
ping and fishing, "Uncle Billy" as
he was known to all pioneers, used
to delight in telling how he had fool

him in the spring of 1908, he record
