SEE EARLY ACTION
ON BUILDING BILL
Commission Puts Aside Plan
Submitted in Belief Con-
greSS Will Act Soon.

With the President. the Budget Bu-
reau, the Public Buildings Commission
and many members of Congress heartily
In favor OF making an early start on the
program advocated by President Cool
idge in his first budget message of
spending $5.00o.000 p year until the
pressing needs Of the Government Offices
| in Washington for proper housing in
Government-oWned buildings have been
met. there is every prospect that this
legislation will be rushed through carly
in the next session Of Congress.
This was the conviction expressed at
a conference Of the Public Buildings
Commission in the Office Of Senator
Smoot yesterday, when it adjourned
without taking action on n proposition
whereby the Office of the controller gem
eral, which is one Of the Government ac-
tiVities most urgently In need Of new
building would be adequately housed. A
private construction company had been
negotiating with the Public Buildings
Commission and with Controller Cen
eral McCarl looking toward erection of
a building on b street between Nine
teenth and Twentieth streets to be
| leased to the controller general for n
| period of years, with the United States
Government having an option to pur-
| thase the building within time limit at
a fixed price. The plans called for this
proposed building to fit in with the pub
| Tic buildings program as provided for in
| the Smoot bill now pending.
No action was taken by the commits
sion at its meeting yesterday upon this
proposition, because the commission felt
so sure that the s50.000.000 program for
| housing Government activities in Gov
ernment-owned buildings would go
through early in the coming session. 1t
,, was thought that Congress would readily
appropriate some s3,000.000 or $4,000
900 to start work on this program. as
| all that would be needed the first year.
Leading advocates of the $4,000. 900
public building bill for the National
| Capital emphasize that President Cool
| idge has repeatedly declared his ap-
proval of such legislation. and that the
! Budget Bureau is heartily in favor of 1t
| as a measure of real economy, because
| it costs as much for repairs on tempo
rary war buildings now used as Offices
| and for storage Of priceless documents
| which are known to be flretraps It
| would cost to build or rent modern

How does your hair look an

For then there was no quick,
effective way to keep the hair

times just as you want it to
look. Old-fashioned pomades
matted the hair and made it

MoNTANA's FARM PROGRAM IN BRIEF

The "hgh lights in President Atknsonfs recent address before the
bankers and lawyers committees at Bozeman were
KEEP FORM COSTS DOWN-Success in the nonirrigated areas of
Montana depends, to a great extent upon farmers tnng a large acreage
with the smallest labor outlay. This means large teams and especially de-
signed homemade implements. Farmers, too, should raise their own food
supply, so far as possible, O their own farms.
WHEAT-The fact that Montana is the last state in America to have
big areas of cheap land means that wheat production here will continue. for
some years, to increase. The superiority of Montanas wheat wei other
states indicates that it will undoubtedly command a premium price for q
long time. Success depends upon getting the largest possible returns at
the lowest possible cost.
SUGAR BEETS-Montana can raise high quality sugar beets. AS rap
idly az markets are made available, this cash crop should be increased.
BEANS-Beans are a soil improver and a excellent crop tt use in
rotation. The quality of beans grown here assures an outlet for the crop
in larger markets.
PEAS-Pea canning has a future in this state. Peas of fine quality
and flavor are produced in good yields AS cannaies are built. this crop
viii increase in Importance. Montana peas ire also in demand for seed in
other states.
Eastern and northeastern Montana are particularly adapted tt its culture.
APPLES-The quality of apples grown in western Montana assures
tina. the demand for that product will increase.
CORN-Corn has proven adaptable to Montana. II is nrohab1e that
it will be utilized almost exclusively as a feed crop, thus farmers should
stick to the varieties that fit this scheme. Farmers raising corn for feed
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-02-07

should also raise high protein hay or sweet clover to balance the ration
for their stock.
SEED-Montana small grain and potato seeds already command a
premium on eastern markets. 1t is conservatrvey estimated that TOO car
loads a year of Montana produced seed potatoes eventually could be sold
to southern growers.
STOCK RAISINC-Ihe old range days are gone from Montana. Low
priced beef and high priced labor makes many changes necessary. Montana
must produce well bred, early maturing cattle and get them off to market
as yearings and two year ols. The fat five year old steer is a thing of
the past. The market now wants 900 to 100 pound stuff. The freight
rate situation makes it necessary 20 ship only finished stuff to the market.
DAIRYING-Darying is a consistent and heavy labor consumer and
many farmers will prefer to devote themselves to grain raising O stock
raising, which car be done with less help. In communities where dairying
is being built up, car should be exercised to see that farmers do not I'M
dertake it in a large way before they have had actual experience
SHEEP-The outlook is that sheepmen of Montana will continue to
enjoy relatively satisfactory prices for some time. The Use of improved
smes to insure lambs of higher wool and mutton production. and more care
at breeding time to bring about a higher percentage lamb crop, make for
better returns
HORSES-It is almost sure that a shortage of good horses will be felt
in the lear future. This would suggest that farmers will find the raising
of a few colts of good type and quality a good line to take up.
HOGS-Local demand and western markets call for a substantial in
crease in hog production. The "hogging off" of corr and the growing of
young pigs On pasture reduces costs and makes possible pork production
under Montana conditions.
LAND Observation-Disclosures needs more people. In attracting
people to the state, however, it is important to remember that only the
settlers who com to the state and meet a fair degree of success m per-
manent assets. There is, therefore, pressing need for reliable and full
o the soils of the state.
THE FARM UNIT-In settling the lands of the state consideration
should be given to the proper sized farm unit. This will vary with the
conditions in any given locality. Enough study has been made and enough
gained to show that the quarter of half section non-irrigated
farm is too small to afford a living up to a reasonable level in most sections
Of the state.

Coal Rates Cut To
North Mont. Points

Helena, Feb. 2.-Reductions rang
ing from six cents to S1.09 a ton on
coal shipments from Kirby and Sher-
idan, Wyo., to Great Northern points
in northern Montana, were provided
for in new tariffs which have just
been received by the Montana rail
road commission.
Tariffs carrying reductions in
rates from these two Wyoming
points were filed by both the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads in compliance with an order
issued by the interstate commerce
commission in the western coal rates
case, in connection with which a
hearing was held in Butte in 1922.
The new rates are effective February
20, and while applying to all points
on the Great Northern, are quoted
as to the following leading points:
From Kirby to Great Falls, pres
ent rate $4.O5, new rate, 1918;
Glasgow, present $5.O1, new $4.95;
Wolf Point. present $5.01, new $3.50
.ulbertson, present $5.O1, new $4.O5
Plentywood, present 1928, new,
scobey, present $5.35, new
$3.50.
Sidney-Falls Rate Basis
The rates to Wolf Point, gilbert
son, Plentywood and Scobey apply
via Sidney, Mont, while all others
above apply via Great Falls.
At the time of the hearing Of this
coal rate case the Montana railroad
commission endeavored to obtain a
reduction in rates from all coal ship
ping points in the state, as we'll as
from outside points, but as to the
rates from Montana points the in
terstate commission held:
"It cannot be said that the Mon
rates are excessive, and this
conclusion is strengthened by the
comparison offered by the carriers
between the rates in Montana and
rates for corresponding distances in
other parts of the west"

POPULAR PREACHER
GETS GOOD HEARING

The union meetings of the M. E
and Presbyterian churches started
in a fine manner with the II O'Clock
service Sunday morning. A fine
crowd was present both morning and
evening to hear Rev. Alexander Muir
den and the large majority of them
went home feeling that the biggest
job facing the Christian people of
Wolf Point is to get every man, wo-
man and child of our city in touch
with Jesus Christ.
Inspire the Best
Rev. Muirden's messages challenge
the very best and finest ideals that
the people of Wolf Point possess. He
has no time or place in his preach
ing to deal with the little petty
things that the professional evangel-
list often makes the main issues in
a series of meetings; but he is
preaching a Gospel that will lift men
and women above the petty quarrels
of life. The men and women who
are not attending these services are
missing a real treat in things spirit
ual.
The chorus choir under the di-
rection of Rev. Mnirden, is doing
fine work and Sunday night they rem
dered two fine numbers. Rev. Muir
den is singing one or more solos
each evening and we hope to have
a male quartet ready for service the
