10 BALLOONISTS
 TO ENTER RACE . FOR NEW RECORD
San Antonio Promoters
 Predict Phenomenal Flights April g

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March B. (By Associated Press. LA new Ameri- can record and a new worlds record for free balloon flights are anticipated by members of the San Antonio Aero- nautic association and by entrants in the national balloon race which is scheduled to start from Kelly field on the afternoon of April g. The Ameri- can recosd of approximately 1,400 miles was made in 1910 by Post and Hawley, who landed in the wilds of Canada, north of Quebec. The worlds record is 1896 miles and was made in Europe.
 New Starting Point
 By making San Antonio the starting point, officials believe they have made it possible for new records to be estab- lished. It is pointed out that the drift of air currents in previous races has almost invariably carried the balloons toward the mouth of the St. Lawrence river. From Kansas City and St. Louis, both of which have been start ing points, the distance is about HOO miles and this has been the normal course of the flight. From San An LOHiO luS OL dlT CuTTcHtS dISO IS toward the mouth of the St. Lawrence. Thus, balloons rising here will have a possible flight of approximately 2,400 miles.
 The race, besides deciding the free balloon supremacy of the United States, also will serve for choosing the three contestants, to represent this country in the international balloon race.
 Ten Entrants Expected
 Ten balloons are expected to be en- tered, three of them being United. States army entries. A cash prize of $1,000 will be paid to the winner. The second price is $500; third, 5000; fourth, $500 fifth, $200, and sixth, $100. A bonus of $100 will be given to the pilot of each balloon starting in the race; a bonus of $125 will be given to the pilot who breaks the American record, and ran additional bonus of $125 to the pilot who breaks the worlds record.
 Each balloon probably will be equipped with a radio receiving set and pilots will keep in touch with broad casting stations in the country over which they pass as to the weather con ditions ahead. Meteorological data from all stations in- the United States and Canada will be provided during the race.
 Maj. Albert Bond Lambert of St. Louis will act as referee of the race.

SLUM RESTAURANT
 USES CARS KNIVES
600 Pieces Of Cutlery Each
 Bear Royal Arms

LONDON, March 5.-(Correspond- ence of Aassociated Press. )-Cutlery which was once the property of the late Czar and which adorned the tables of the royal palace, is now in public use in an obscure restaurant in one of the slum districts of London.
 There are 600 knives at the estab- lishment each bearing the royal arms engraved upon the blade Some of them have the device filled in with gold, but these the proprietor is not using in the restaurant.
 The history of the knives since they left the Russion court is not known, but when they came into the hands of the previous owner of the restaurant they all had massive handles of solid gold. These were replaced, however, by more conventional and less tempt ing ones, and although the cutlery is used daily by customers it is seldom that these historical relics are recog- niZed.

AMERICAN WOMEN , CALLED BEST COOKS
Expert Finds Kitchen Becoming
 More Popular

CHICAGO, March 23.-(By Associ- ated Press. )-American women are the best cooks in the world, and American men the best-fed mortals, in the opin- ion of Ada Bessie Swann, chairman of the home economies bureau of the American Gas association. The aver age woman is happjest when she pre- pares food in her own kitchen and sits down with the family to enjoy it, she adds.
 All this talk about getting the fam lily out of the restaurants and cabarets and back to the dinner table is exag- gerated," writes Miss Swann. Any one who reads the American woman aright knows that she loves her home and family first. She might have wavered bit in those uncertain days following the war when millions of women became wage earners instead of home-makers, but the trend is the other way now.'

LONDON, March 7.-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press.)-The number of working days lost by trade disputes, as reported to the ministry of labor, in Great Britain and north ern Ireland in 1920, 1921, 1922 and 1923 were approximately 26,0O0,00O, S6,OOO,OOO, 100000 and 1O,5OO,O00, respectively.

PROMOTING Beet Industry

c. Fl. Barnes, field man engaged by
the valley farmers to promote better
farming and to introduce the methods
of growing sugar beets, was in Har-
lem recently meeting the various busi-
ness men and telling them of the possi-
bilities for the beet industry here. Mr..
Barnes is carrying on an educational
campaign to show the farmers md
business men thar a different 5 Z on
of farming will be adopted In tn al
ley If farming is going to be put a
paying basis.
The campaign is now on to havo II
Of the farmers in the valley pre- e
ground for beets in 1925 by growing
cultivated crops lke corn. potatoes,
beans and peas 1t has been assured
that If 5000 aefes of land in the Mix
River valley can thus be prepared this
year there will be no trouble at g,l in
inducing a factory to come here.

Farm Operations
About to Start

These are busy days for the folks
on the farm, all of whom are making
preparations to start spring work.
Some have already, started to work
in the fields and others will in few
days.
1t is anticipated that the acreage
that will be farmed in McCone coun-
ty this year will be larger than that
of last year.
The wheat acreage will be consid-
erably less than last year. The corn
acreage it is said will be at least
double what was planted last year.
Flax is going to be the major crop in
this section this year, it being esti-
mated that the acreage will be three
times what it was a year ago. The
flax acreage in the state will be
doubled, according to reports.
At present flax is the only crop
really worth planting, and the price
should remain fair. Montana is one
of the leading flax producing states
IN the Union, and McCone one of
the best flax growing counties in the
state.
In corn McCone ranks also among
those at the head of the list, and we
look for some splendid yields again
this year.

STATE SUES RAILROADS
FOR SLEEPING GAR TAX
Attorney General Files Suit to Collect
$4,000 From Three Lines on
Licenses

Suit to collect an aggregate of $685.
400, plus interest. has been filed by At
torney General Rankin against the
Northern Pacific. the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul, and the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy railroads. The
facts set forth by dfr. Rankin were
not disputed and the only point raised
by the defense was that of constitu-
tional authority, 1t being contended the
sleeping cars were engaged in inter-
state commerce and not subject to a
state license tax A ruling to this
effect was handed down by one of
Montana's former attorneys general.
First honors in the suit went to the
attorney general when Judge A. J.
Horsky in the district court of Lewis
and Clark county Thursday, April 3,
over-ruled demurrers of the railroads,
attacking the law on constitutional
grounds.
Judge Horsky's ruling is regarded by
Mr.. Rankin as a complete victory for
the state. Except for a possible ap-
peal to the supreme court to test the
soundness of the decision, Mr.. Rankin
does not believe the roads will further
fight the case
