COOLIDGE EXPECTED
TO NAME CONVENTION
CHAIRMAN NEXT WEEK
Confers With Political
Leaders on Subject
in New York.

Washington, April 2S.-Selections
for the temporary and permanent
chairmanships of the Republican ma
tional convention are being given con-
siderable thought by President Cool
idge, and he is expected to make
known his preferences before next
Wednesday, when the national COM
mittee's subcommittee on arrange
mcnts win meet at Cleveland.
The President conferred with n
number of political leaders on the
subject while in New York to address
the annual luncheon Of the Associat-
ed Press, but desired to consider the
matter further here before making a
decision. He is understood to be de-
voting chief attention to the tenn
porary craftsmanship, since the man
selected for that post usually sounds
the campaign keynote.
Former Governor Lowden of Hi
nois is regarded by some as likely
choice among those mentioned for the
temporary craftsmanship. This opin-
ion is based on the expectation that
the President will favor the selection
of a Western or Middle Western man
not connected officially with the adj
ministration. Others under consid-
Grafton are said to include Secretary
Hughes, Senator Willis of Ohio,
Charles G. Dawes, Representative
Longworth OF Ohio, Senator Borah of
Idaho, former Senator Beyeridge of
Indiana, Governor Hude of Missouri
and Groesbeck of Michigan. and Sen
ator Pepper of Pennsylvania.

NEW FIRE FIGHTER.
Truck That Can Travel 90 Miles an
Hour Rugged Up at Kelly.

A fire prevention and wrecking
truck that travels at the rate of 60
miles an hour has been prepared at
Kelly Field, under the direction OF
First Lieut.. r. B. Walker, for use in
case of airplane accidents and has
been equipped with a compound es-
pccially manufactured to combat fires
fed by gasoline and oil.
Speed in reaching the point at
which an accident occurs and in ex-
tinguishing fires are the two things
that most concern those who are
charged with the duty OF rendering aid
to the victims. Chemicals that here
heretofore been used in the fire ap-
paratus at Kelly Field have caused
fires to spread without putting. them
out.
The new truck is equipped with a
preparation called Foamite. Its
manufacturers claim that it will ex-
tinguish a gasoline fire within one
minute after being thrown on the
blaze and that it will have a sooth-
ing effect on any person caught in
the fire.
Experiments both as to the speed of
the truck and as to the efficiency of
the compound will be made at Kelly
Field Thursday. Two fires will be
started. and the new apparatus will
compete with the old from Kelly No.
l, for the purpose of seeing which
one works best.
Fire Chief J. G. .Sarran of the San
Antonio fire department, has signified
his intention Of inspecting the new
truck, according to Kelly Field Off

Mr.. Flaherty learned in Minnea-
polls and st. Paul that financial men
are familiar with the fact that the
average loan per acre on Montana
land is $6.37. This low average is
making possible resale of large num-
bers of farms to the original owners,
on long time terms. Concerns with
large interests are forming coloniz-
ing organizations and are co-operat-
ing with the railroads in bringing to
Montana farmers with capital and a
genuine knowledge of agriculture.
Farmers in southern Minnesota
and northern Iowa are loaded down
with taxes which have in the last few
years grown into a tremendous bur-
den," Mr.. Flaherty continued There
are instances in those states where
the taxes on a quarter section are
five tines the amount assessed in
Montana, a fact largely due to ex-
cesses in highway construction"
Minnesota and Iowa have gone
through what Mr.. Flaherty calls the
west coast epidemic" Thousands
OF families left those states for Cali
fornia and other coast states during
the last few years.
I'm the spring of 1928" Mr.. Fla
herty stated, more than 1000 fam
lies left Minnesota for California,
and the bulk of that exodus has al
ready returned, poorer but consider
ably wiser. Eastern bankers and
mortgage companies are Withdrawing
loans from southern California in an
ticipation of p possible collapse in
values due to over-inflation."

Seed Pea Work at Bridger

The Great Western seed warehouse
at 1ridger was a busy spot last week
when work began on the final hand
ling Of the 1928 seed pea crop. 1t
is the plan of Mr.. Walker to complete
the sorting by May 1, by which date
he will Lave about $4,000 bushels of
seed cleaned, sorted and sacked for
distribution.
Mr.. Walker is proud of his new
plant and said, give got the best
picking room in the state" After the
seed pea crop is handled the plant
will be available to farmers desiring
to have bean or other seed crops
cleaned. The firm will also clean
wheat and other seed grain for farm
ers desiring it.
Of the $4,000 bushels of seed peas
now stored in the warehouse ready
for ~re-cleaning and picking, about
half of it, or 5000 bushels, will be
used for SEED in this locality next sea-
son, for it is Mr.. Walkers intention
to contract with farmers for 1000
or more acres next year. The sur
plus seed will all go to Wisconsin to
the Lang Canning company to be
sown as seed for peas for canning.
This seed will not move until the lat
ter part of March or early April.
Four men are employed at the
warehouse handling the crop as it ar
rives. Mr.. Walker finds the past
seasons crop far better than early
indications promised, and says the
quality is very good. The seed is :
moist, and the company is paying
more for moisture this year than any
other year it has operated in Mon
tana. Dried samples often show a
shrinkage of 10 per cent.

buying and selling of wool
| has become a highly special
w. E. Joseph of Montana State
college. To qualify as an expert
grader or an expert buyer of wool
requires years Of experience and
vet, according to DR.. Joseph, there
are certain fundamentals in the
grading of woods with which the
farmer and sheepman should be fa-
miliar.
In the larger wool markets woods
are bought on two bases, depend
ing upon the section of the coun-
try in which they are grown. Fleece
woods are bought on the basis of
the wool as it is taken from the
sheep, grease and dirt included.
woods are bought on the
secured basis.
Fleece woods are those grown in
the more humid sections of the

BUYING AND SELLING WOOL
A HIGHLY SPECIALIZED GAME

ern and southern states and in irri-
gated sections of the west. Woods
grown in the more or less arid or
semi-arid sections vary greatly in
the amount of shrinkage or in the
amount of grease and dirt they
carry, making it necessary to buy
them on the clean or secured val
uation. 1t will be noticed in wool
market reports that different prices
are quoted for woods from differ
ent states or different sections. A
special quotation will be noticed for
territory woods" and Montana
woods come under this. class. The
other mountain states, Wyoming,
Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Colorado
and Washington are also included
in this class. The name originated
at the time when the areas includ-
ed by these states were territories.
1t is interesting to note that Mon
tana woods are considered the most
desirable over woods from other
territory" states.
Territory woods are divided into
classes on the basis of the length
and soundness or strength of fiber.
Roughly speaking, there are two
classes, staple or combing woods
and short or clothing woods. Staple
must be sound of fiber and two and
a half inches or more in length.
Clothing woods are those under two
and a half inches in length. A still
further classification is made on
certain discriminating markets
known as French combing woods
which range from two to two and
a half inches in length.
Wool is graded on the basis of
the fineness of fiber, or the spin
ming qualities. These grades are
fine land fine medium), half blood,
three-eighths blood, quarter blood,
low quarter blood, common and
braid. Each or the liner grades IS
divided on the basis of length of
as shown above, making three
classes for fine wool and two
for each of the medium
The coarses woods are al
ways long enough to be classed as
or combing woods provided
there is a years growth.
From the names of the grades
it would appear that the various
woods get their names from the
breeding of the sheep. Perhaps
he terms originated in this way
but they have become simply trade
names. Thus, "half blood" refers
a certain market grade of wool
and not to the blood or breeding of
he animal on which the wool was

ATTRACTS
EASTERN FARMERS
SUPERIOR QUALITY OF WHEAT
AND CORN DEVELOPMENT
HAS GOOD EFFECT
Concerns With Large Interests Are
Cooperating With Railroads in
Bringing to Montana Farmers
With Capital.

Montana is placing the finest
kind of advertising before east
ern farmers who might be inter-
ested in opportunities offered by
the Treasure state" said James j..
Flaherty, of the Great Falls Paper
company, just back from the east.
This is through the fact that the
price of land here is low and the
further fact that Montana is be-
coming nationally known for the
high quality of her wheat. Corn
too is proving a tremendous factor
in attracting the attention of east
ern farmers to Montana"
