1t is doubtful if any musical
feature has ever been presented to
the American public which has won
greater favor or obtained a wider
following than that of musical bell
ringing. The art was brought to
America first in the '4Os by the late
P. T. Barnum. While touring Eng
land he heard group OF dozen
church bell ringers practizing upon
hand bells, and he conceived the
idea of using large peal of bells
and playing more elaborate music.
These bells were made in England,
as the worlds best bells always
have been, but in conformity with
his unfailing originality as an adj
vertiser, he dressed the players, both
men and women, in the costumes of
Swiss peasants, and called the COM
pany, The Swiss Bell Ringers y
For many years this company toured
the United States in wagons before
railroads were at all general. The
art at that time was so successful
that our grandfathers recall most
wildly the visit OF the Swiss Bell
Ringers to their native towns.
1t seems that thereafter the art fell
into disuse and it was not really
perfected or revived in any worthy
way until 1898, when Ralph Dunbar
and his brother founded the famous

AUTO SERVICE STATIONS

One of the most striking illustra-
lions of changed motoring conditions
since few years back, when the car
owner feared to go on any lengthy
tour, is found in the Ford organi-
cation which is today providing SER
vice facilities for approximately
half the motor vehicles in the United
States. 1t is estimated that there
are 100000 Ford cars and trucks
traversing the streets and highways
of the nation and Ford service
stations are scattered in most every
city, village and hamlet to keep
these cars running with a minimum
of delay and at low cost.
The Ford Motor Company was
among the earliest automobile com
panies to recognize that popularizing
motor car travel depended upon SER
vice facilities and that the motorist
in need of service or replacement
parts must not be compelled to wait
day or two, but be cared for in the
shortest possible time.
Establishment of Ford service
stations therefore started years back
but under the remarkable demand
for Ford cars, particularly during
the last few years with sales rum
ming close to 100000 annually, it
has been necessary to extend this
organization and to do it quickly.
How well this has been accomplished
is seen in company records which
show that since 1928, when Ford
dealers totaled a little more than,
5000, the number has been in
creased to $500. But in addition
to this the authorized Ford Service
stations have been increased more
than 100 per cent in the last two
years until at present there are
$4,000 such stations throughout the
country. This makes a total OF
close to $4,000 places where Ford
owners may secure necessary adj
justments and service parts for their
cars.

BETTER MAILING CAMPAIGN

Offenses against good mailing
practices are not confined entirely to
the average man who mails only his
yearly quota OF 112 letters, Post
master General New declared in
II connection with his better mailing
campaign.
The business man, who is
naturally expected to take every
precaution in the interest OF in
telligent communication with his
clients or customers, often falls
woefully short in providing adequate
safeguards for the efficient delivery
of his mail.
1t is true that comparatively few
business letters reach the Dead
Z Letter Office because the business
man learned long ago to have his
return address printed on his
envelopes if only for it's accruing ad,
yertising value.
There are firms, however, that
purposely leave off return cards
when sending out circulars and adj
vertising matter. They seek this
method of arousing curious recip
tents to examine letters which other
wise might be consigned unopened
to the waste basket.
But Mikes "-meaning letters re.
quiring directory service before de
livery can be effected-are compris-
ed largely of business letters, and
this service costs the Post Office
nearly two million dollars yearly.
The practice of buying sales
lists-usually Anticipated ones-for
advertising soliciting through the
mails is especially prolific of mixes
tempt to keep them current al
though the Post Office will furnish
clerks to revise such lists at the
nominal charge of IS cents an hour
Advertisers in newspapers, mag
azines and elsewhere often fail to
specify their own street addresses.
Answers, therefore, parti u ar y
where the advertiser is located in
one of the larger cities, just as
frequently are returned to the
senders.
That's a penny-wise and pound
foolish policy" Mr.. New said. The
return of one letter marked Not
Found will do the advertiser more
harm in the town from which it
came than he can repair with many
thousand dollars worth of ad-
vertising.
The person to whom it is re-
turned will give him plenty of ad
vertising, but it will be of the
wrong kind"
Almost as foolish is the firm
and there are many of them-which
fails to carry it's complete address,
including street number, city. and
state, on it's letter heads and other
stationery, particularly, order blanks
More and more schools Throughout
the country are establishing regular
courses OF instruction in the proper
preparation and disposition of mail
not as favor to the post office, but
as duty to the community g
contribution to business efficiency
for the postal service is the life blood
of business.
The Post Office Department, OF
course, is in favor of the general
extension of this practice, and stand
ready to supply teachers and pupils
with any information that will aid
in such studies.

MORE CLOVERS AND
DAIRY CATTLE NEEDED
By p. G. Holden, Field Director, Agri-
cultural Extension Department, In
ternational Harvester Company.

If every American farmer will give
greater attention to the growing Of
protein feeds-alfalfa, sweet clover,
cowpeas, soy beans, peanuts, and 9TH
ell members of the clover family-the
production of protein feed and dairy
products will be greatly increased.
AS result, also, the production of al
most every other crop produced on the
farm will be greater.
The growing of clovers means
crop rotation and diversified farming.
1t means more live stock and more
dairy products. 1t means more fertile
soil, greater prosperity, a steady in
come the entire year.
Alfalfa and sweet clover can be
grown on any farm. Patience and
determination alone are necessary for
success. If we raise hay we are
bound to raise live stock. This means
more dairy cattle and more dairy
products. Whatever the market price
Of alfalfa may be, it is worth more
when sold in the form of milk and
butter.
You cannot afford to feed the scrub
cow that does not produce enough
milk to pay for her keep.
Dairy products furnish protein
necessary for the building of bone
and tissue. The worlds destiny must
be carved by vigorous men and wom-
en-. If you are to have strong men

and women, you must have well-de-
velopd boys and girls.
Do not underweigh the effect which
the clover in your pasture may have
upon the future development of civil
ization. America possesses large
fields, and upon these fields must be
grown not only the meats and the
grains, but the protein demanded for
that balanced ration which all men

AGRICULTURE
EVERY FARM NEEDS POULTRY.
BY Celia Wigent, Agricultural Extern
sion Depart. International Harves-
ter Company.

Every farmer should raise poultry.
Practically every farmer does but
many of us do not give poultry rails
ing the attention we should.
Poultry raising nets an annual re-
turn in the United States of more
than half a billion dollars.
Only very small part of this vast
sum is produced by the commercial
poultrymen of the country. Ninety
per cent of it is earned by the little,
often neglected focks on the farms of
the country.
Farm poultry is profitable because
the investment is small, the cost of
the labor needed to take care of them
is low, feed is cheap, the chickens
utilize the waste products of the
farm and destroy weeds and insects.
While poultry are always profitable
on farm, they can be made more
profitable if they are given reason
able amount of care and attention.
The average farm hen produces 60
eggs a year. She should produce 12O.
Profit depends on surplus production.
1t takes certain number of eggs to
pay for her board and keep. After
that every egg she lays is a profit.
Good housing and proper feeding
will increase your profit. The hous-
ing need not be expensive; it only
needs to be comfortable.
A hen will not lay eggs unless she
is comfortable and has a reasonable
variety of feed.
Handle and market your eggs right.
Market the kind of eggs you would
want to buy if you were buying them
for your table. Have convenient
nesting places so the hens will not
lay in the grass and woods. Keep the
nests clean, gather the eggs every
day, keep them in a cool, dry place,
and market them twice a week.
Improve your flock. Gull out the
poor stuff; build up good flock and
eventually keep one breed only.
A good hen house can be built at
very little cost. It should not be
cold, dark and damp, but it can be
made out of any material, just so it
is light, clean, cheerful and comfort
able.
The poultry house should be close
to the other buildings and easy to
clean. A low house is hard to work
in; high house is hard to keep clean.
Have plenty of light in the house
sunlight is good germ destroyer.
Leave all or a part of the south
side open to keep the house dry and
we'll ventilated. Allow no drafts.
Keep the house clean and free from
vermin.
If you want winter eggs, duplicate
spring conditions. Varity is import
ant in the winter ration. Eggs can
not be produced unless the feed con-
tarns the material from which eggs
are made. An egg is about 10 per
cent fat, Is per cent protein, "a per
cent water and per cent ash, chiefly
,, lime.
Grain, especially corn, furnishes the
heat and fat making foods; mill feeds
with milk or beef scrap, furnish the
protein. Some green food is neces-
sary in the winter time.
Give the hens all the water they
will drink; in the winter time warm
it if possible. Furnish grit to grind
the feed and if possible oyster shell
for making the egg she'll and char

WORK RESUMED
 ON RIVERSIDE

Operation of the Riverside mine was resumed late last week by J. D. Littlepage and M. J. St Clair, who are the controlling factors in that well known property under a leas- ing and a purchase arrange ment with the H. C. Strong interests. The present working force is small, only five or six men being employed in the mine and mill, but will be in- creased as conditions warrant later in the season.
 The renewal of operations on this promising property is a matter of considerable grati- fication and everyone in the district is earnestly hopeful that Messrs. Littlepage and St. Clair will achieve the highest degree of success in their eff fort to again place the mine on a productive basis.

Postal money orders stolen from the Gainesville, Mont, postoffice June 29th last are being forged and cashed along the Pacific coast, according to an announcement made by the postoffice department in which the public. is warned to beware of accepting unverified money orders. The theft included L. ITO of the blank orders, which are being cashed by the for gers, in sums ranging from S20 to $50.
 A man, presumably II. c. Hill, and a woman are known to have cashed some of the orders, the victims of their operations being drug stores and stores dealing in women 5 apparel. The operators have been traced from eastern points to Seattle, which was the last place reporting their presence.

GOOD HEADWAY
 ON MOUNTAINVIEW

Development work on the Mountainview Gold Mining Company properties on Fish Creek is proceeding in excel lent manner, with the newly installed mine, power and tram equipment working in fine shape, according to man. ager Arthur Moa. The mine is now fully equipped with machinery and future develop ment will be conducted on 5 much increased scale as com pared to earlier periods.
 Unlike a majority of local development operations, the work of opening up this fine property has been carried to completion, not only in Tt. markedly fast time, but also 80 quietly, that few are aware of the really vast amount of 
 labor that has been accomp- lished by MT. Moa and his as- assistants. Fewer still realize the fact that the property has practically reached the pro ductive stage and will soon be adding it's wealth to the dis trict's output.

MACHINERY FOR
 BIG MISSOURI

Preparations for increasing the scope of present develop ment operations are under way on the Big Missouri. The com pressor and other machinery equipment lately in use on the Forty Nine, is being trans ported to the Big Missouri. where it will be used in the further exploration of the huge ore zone recently uncovered by manager Pat Daly, and which promises to develop into d source of vast ore production under commercial exploitation.
 Late visitors to the property report that the big ore booy is said to be showing up better every day as the tunnel pro- gresses and is unquestionabIy of tremendous potential value.
 MT. Daly also has a crew at work on a newly discovered lead of gold ore which is said to carry high values in the yellow metal.

A lively and vociferous al. tercation over the tenancy of a tide flat lot at the corner of Main Street and First Avenue created an unwonted diversion for the habitues of that section for an hour or two Monday morning. After a vast deal of wrangling in which many of the bystanders participated with vim and vigor, the con- tending claimants agreed on a compromise, whereby one of them paid the other for his Costs and disbursements ln- cured therein," to quote the legal sharps, and quiet was once more restored.
