Farm Demonstration Train
Center of Attention Today

The big travelling farm show
known as the Success Farm Demonst-
ration train is in town today and
the train and diversified program
of speaking and pictures, at the Lib
erty theatre, is holding the attention
of large number of farmers as well
as people of other occupations The
Southside farmers were cut off by
the condition of the river. The whole
enterprise is the idea of M. L. Viii
son, director of farm management,
Montana state college, and is the most
original and practical scheme of
bringing new but tried methods of
tilling the soil under dry farming to
the very doors of the farmers, yet
tried. The three cars are filled with
photos, charts and pieces
in miniature.
The program includes Mr.. Wilson
and several other speakers with
charts and pictures on the screen to
illustrate points.
Banquet Tonight
This evening at Young's cafe the

FAMOUS DETECTIVE
COMES TO WOLF POINT

The popularity of mystery dramas
inaugurated by the phenominal sue
cess Of "The Bat," "The Cat and the
Canary" and other meyyr shockers
of the stage has created a vogue of
similar plays on the screen. "The
Hound of the Baskervilles, Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle's greatest Sherlock
Holmes story, is one Of the first TO
reach the silver sheet. With Ellie
Norwood as the great detective and
q brilliant cast in support, it is the
current feature at the Liberty theatre
Thursday and Friday.
The dramatic treasure chest of
Conan Doyle has been opened again
upon the screen and all the old fa-
vorites that have thrilled the reading
public for years come swinging back
to life.
There are Sherlock Holmes and the
devoted Watson and the flaming
hound that bays across the desolate
moors of old England at night and
sends the simple folks of the villages
to shelter. One can read
lily imagine what wealth of mys-
terry can be developed from such a
igure as a savave, man-eating dog
hat suddenly appears at midnight
and gives folks flare of fire from its
body, much as if it wore a cloak of
yellow flame. And the hound is
argely responsible for much of the
MYSTERY in the adventures of the

dertisement by the postoffice depart
ment for bids for carrying mail from

INTERESTING ITEMS
FROM The CAPITAL

/ (FfOm our special Correspondent
Washington, March 26.-Produc-
ton of rain by artificial methods is
condemned by the weather bureau
of the department of agriculture as
futile undertaking which science
has disapproved. New ways of MAX
ing rain, preventing fog or rain, or
forestalling the disastrous effects of
storms are not new, but none of them
stand the test of scientific knowledge
or atmospheric conditions, a state
ment made by the department holds.
1t is pointed out that to produce
one inch of rain on an acre it is
necessary to draw 113 tons of moist
ure into the air to be precipitated.
For section of land 1890 tons
would be required. Enormous force
IS required, weather experts say, to
elevate moisture above the earth be-
fore it can be precipitated. Numer-
Gus failures of experiments are re
viewed.

that capacity under Mckinley, Roose-
velt, Taft, Wilson and Harding.
Since President Harding is recuperat-

his consideration. Mr.. Forster has
been deciding just how important
such matters are for the past quarter
of a century.

A Suggestion to
Sportsmen, From
The State Museum

Although the State Museum has a
fine and almost complete collection
of the birds of Maine, it is lacking
few species and several specimens
in unusual phases of plumage of the
more common birds, especially in
water fowl, and amy gunner who
shoots bird that he cannot identify
readily is asked to kindly send same
to the State Museum for Identified
ton in order that it's exhibit may be
made as near complete as possible,
Look carefully before you shoot, as
quite few water fowl are protected
by State and Federal law. especially
the woodduck, woodpecke-s, glllls
and all insect eating and song birds.
While mud hens, or bittern, looms
and blue herons are not protected by
our Maine laws. they are protected
by Federal laws, therefore it is I'M
lawful to kill them at any time.
Sportsmen are cautioned in order to
avoid complications. to study both
the State and Federal laws before
going cunning.
Copies of botht State and Federal
laws may be obtained from the De-
partment of Inland Fisheries and
Game at Augusta.
