100 NEW HOMES
 LIKELY BEFORE
 END OF MONTH

ID UILDING permits for the first ID half of August aggregated ap-
 proximately $400,00O--a de- crease over the corresponding period last month. Inspector J. E. Spencer said a slight slump always occurs at this time of the year. He looks for another boom to set in with the coming of September.
 The bright spot in the August record to date is the heavy number of permits issued for residences. At the clip now being maintained, more than 100 new homes will be placed under construction before the end of the month.
 'sThe vast majority of these" Spencer said, fare modest homes-a class of construction that denotes sound conditions in the city"

STATE COLLEGE AUTHORITIES
URGE TREATING OF FLAX SEED

There is chance that flax seed NOT
treated before planting will return as
good yields of good seed as the seed
that has been treated, yet it is urged
by Montana Experiment Station work
ers that the formaldehrde treatment
be practiced as means of Insurance
against crop damage.
The seed is easily treated. Enough
seed to fill the seeder should be spread
in a trough or box and sprayed with
about one quart of the solution while
being stirred The solution should
consist of one pound of formaldehyde
to Az gallons of water. After treat
ment the box should be covered for a
short time, then the seed stirred again,
preferably with rake. County agents
can give more detailed directions and
tell of available supplies of formalde-
hyde or methods st making treating
boxes.

Mine Tax Law
Up to People
Campaign is Launched in State.
Measure viii Go over Big IN
Mccone and Entire State

An initiative measure to tax metal
mines of Montana on their gross
production basis, is now pelng CIT
cuIated throughout the state, with
the intention of having it submitted
to the voters at the next general
election in November this year.
There is no question but what the
measure will receive popular sup
port and that it will carry by nice
big majority, in most counties or
the state including McCone.
The bill as to be submitted to the
people, is declared not to increase
taxation, but to equalize the burden
of providing revenues for the state
government among mining, agrlcui-
ture. bushes and the various other
industries of the Treasure state.
Based upon the production OF 1928,
the measure will raise approximately
s5OO,O00 from natural resources OF
the State that now escape taxation
or at least pay but very small por-
tion in comparison to other lnuus-
tries, particularly that Of agriculture.
The proceeds from the metals. mine
tax is to be distributed equally be-
tween the public schools and the
state treasury. Thus direct beneflt
will be received by all the scnooi
children of the state, and it would
have tendency to reduce local taxes
for school purposes cnsiderably, one
report estimating that it would re-
duce local school taxes throughout
the state to the extent of quarter
million dollars a year.
Petitions are now in circulation
and should be signed by as many as
possible to insure that the measure
can be brought to a vote next Nov

INFORMATION FOR
THE FLAX GROWERS
State College Specialists Contribute
Suggestions for Benefit OF
Our Farmer Readers
Montana Making Rapid Strides
as Flax Producing State

Montana is one Of the four leading
flax Producing states of the Union and
there are predictions that In 1924 she
will go nearer the top in flax produc-
tion than ever before 1t is estimated
that the 1924 acreage Of flax In Mon
tana will be 140 per cent greater than
the acreage of 1923
Naturally this increased acreage
will bring much old land into flax pro-
duction. New breaking is the ideal
! land for flax, as 1t is free from bad
weeds the first year and newly turned
sod furnishes the ideal firm seed bed
that flax requires. Yet ii has been
proven that old land competes favor
ably with new breaking II 1t is in the
proper condition. Specialists of the
Montana State College Extension Ser
vice have found that failowed land
or corn land are suitable for flax grow
ing, since they both are comparatively
free from weeds, and are packed
| firmly.
Potato land, or land used for any
other intertiIled crop that may be kept
free from weeds the previous year, is
good flax land. This weed growth Is
one of the most important things about
flax growing, for flax is d poor COM
petitor against weeds. Where eds
are thick, flax simply does not
good start and makes only a r,or
yield.
1t is recommended that the Ian; n
be planted4fo flax be given shal "
cultivation as early as possible, to
start weed seeds to terminating. Thon
just before seeding to flax another
shallow cultivation should be given TO
rid the land of all weeds. Witt re
weed seeds terminated and the ueads
out of the way, flax has good opror-
tunity. Shallow cultivation Is urged
SO that the ground shall not be stirred
deeply and the firmness of the seed
bed destroyed. y,
Seeding should be. at the rate cf Isl
or 20 pounds to the acre and the seed
should be planted not more thai AMI
inch deep. Seeding should begin
as soon after May 10 as possible.
but good flax yields are often obtained
by seeding as late as the middle OF
June. IN

back any farther. The Oldest son,
Clarence, helped the other children
to land by wading in the water. The
horses became frightened and start

ed off the edge of a culvert the box
came off tn wagon and Mr.. Steffen-
sen aoated down stream for about
80 rods in the wagon box before

Daddy Long-Legs May 2nd-3fd
Did you ever want to laugh and
before you could get your face in
shape to do so you found yourself
wiping a tear? That's Daddy Long
Legs-laughter and pathos inter-
mingled. The whole gamut of emo
tions is run every minute. You
laugh at Judy, you laugh with her
and you weep with her
You'll like Jervis, his big heart
and his child-like simplicity, ou
laugh at Jimmy and Mrs. SemDle.
This play is one of the big ones.
Read what the New York Times re-
viewer said of it following its first
first nightin New York You will
feel the same way after ou have seen
it,
"If you will take your pencil and
write down, one below the other, the
words delightful, charming, sweet,
add them up, the answer will be
Daddy Long Legs" To that result
you might add brilliant, pathetic and
humorous, but the answer even then
would be just what it was before
the play which Miss Webster has
made from her book, Daddy Long
Legs and which was presented at
the Gaiety last night. To attempt to
describe the simplicity and beauty
of Daddy Long Legs, would be like
attempting to describe the tlrst
breath of Spring after an exceeding
ly tiresome and hard Winter.

An Appreciation


In our hustle and hurry it is quite
easv to forget to give credit to
those to whom credit is due. At this
time we wish to express our appre-
citation of Mr. Hafdahl and his work
in connection with the basket ball
team. To play basket ball there
must be a referee. Mr.. Hafdahl
served in this capacity and he serv-
ed well. He was always out for
practice and he was always fair. All
year he and his car have been at
the service of the team and other
school organizations.
Some may judge basket ball team
by the number of games won or lost.
We rather feel that this is not so
important as the development of the
moral side that basket ball affords.
With such men as Coach Bair and
Referee Hafdahl on the job basket
that the men will be clean. The
present status of our basket ball
makes it an honor to be on the team.
A phase of basket ball quite COM
monty misunderstood is the scholar
ship side. To play basket ball in
Montana student must be up on
three subjects and must have passed
lin that many subjects the semester
preceding.
Two men on the first team were
Iconsistantly on the honor roll. At
the end of the first semester 28.5
per cent of the first team were on
the honor roll while 21.5 per cent of
the boys in the school were on the
roll Basket ball can be used to en-
courage good scholarship.
