SMOOTH HOMBRE
PUTS ONE over
Hadley Auction Sale Scene of
Slick Swindle, Says Man
haitian American

r. K. Long and others whose names
have been unable to secure, fell
victims of a swindle, the affair hap
pening at the auction sale of Joe
Hadley, two miles west of Belgrade
last Monday, says the Manhattan
American.
Mr.. Long tells us that at the sale
a man representing himself as being
connected with a firm that employs
travelling men, and that he had some
which he claimed to be cashmere,
were represented to be cashmere,
worsted, ETC., of high quality. Nh.
Long, being unfamiliar with the diff
ferent grades of cloth for women's
garments and believing the gentleman
when he opened up the big rolls #
cloth with the statement that the boss
had told him to sell the cloth at what
he could ge for it, and with a keen
desire on Mr.. Longs part to secure
something of high quality for his
wife, bid IN a portion OF 1t Tor SlS.5V
that he found after arriving home to
BIS only mohair cloth, the kind used
in the lining of mems coats and vests
and does not sell to exceed SOC a yard
! MI. Long thought he was buying cloth
at a bargain, that sells for many dol,
lars a yard, and instead of getting
from $50 to SIS worth of cloth fol
$3.50, he would be glad to get $2.5C
for his purchase. We have been in
formed that Bill Kratcer was also
burned on the same deal.
Mr.. Long states that this smootl
guy must have collected from 500
to $3.50 for these cheap grades o
) cloth.

Frequent Inspection of
Wiring Is of Importance

If car owners would make a point
of inspecting the wiring on their ma
chimes two or three times a year, a lot
Of trouble would be avoided.
There Is no such thing as tighten
ing a connection so that you are sure
1t will stay. The constant Jar and
sway Of a car will sometimes succeed
in working loose a nut that has been
jammed down so tight that It seemed
to be there for keeps. This is partlcu-
larry likely to happen If there Is slack
in the wire 80 that It whips back and
forth.
It Is quite common to find batteries
that are ~undercharged for no other
reason than neglect OF the owner TO
keep connections tight between bat
terry and generator.

cOrding to Director F. B. Linfield Of
the Montana Experiment station. The
study Of agricultural economic prob
lens in the state under which will
come matters dealing with marketing
farm crops, Investigations in home
economics and work in rural sociol-
ogy, viii be the important new lines
Ct work opened up by the federal act.
Heretofore, Investigations by ex-
pertinent stations have been limited
largely to the problems Of production,
according to Director Linfield. Now
an entirely new field is opened up
a field which deals with the human
side Of agriculture, The Purnell act
rounds out the scope of investiga-
ton to it's logical completion, making
it possible for experiment stations to
render service in all phases of agri-
culture.
The Purnell act, Director Linfield
explains, is the result of many years
of endeavor on the part of the Asso-
citation of Land Grant colleges. Years
Of depreciation of the purchasing
power of the dollar has seriously cur
tailed experimental work. With the
same amount of money in 1925 as in
1912 and with the purchasing power
of that money greatly reduced, ex-
pertinent station work has been handl-
capped. The real purpose behind the
Purnell bill is to make up for this
loss and to broaden the field of work
of experiment stations,
AS in other matters where govern
ment funds are involved supervision
rests with federal authorities. The
work to be started under the Purneil
act will be outlined and directed by
national and district committees of
experiment station heads, with the
cooperation of federal men. Some Of
the work to be undertaken will be
national in it's scope and some will be
local or Of interest only to a group
of states. The conference recently
held at st. Louis, attended by prac-
tically all experiment station direc-
tors was for the purpose of consider
ing what work should be undertaken
and committees have been appointed
to arrange ways and means Of con-
Quoting the different experimental
projects. At the present time C. M.
Arnett, in charge of the live stock
work of the Montana Experiment sta.
tion, is attending a committee meeting
in Washington, d. c., for the purpose
of arranging the work in live stock
production.
It is desired, according to Director
Linfield, to go into the matter of out
lining the work very carefully to pre-.
} vent overlapping of effort and dupli.
cation. The first years work under
!, the new act will be largely that O
getting the experiments organized s.
that the most effective and most valu
! able work may be done.
At the present time the MOntani
Experiment station is planning in
vestigational and experimental prof
ects in agricultural economics, hom
economies and rural sociology an
special work in farm management
the marketing Of farm products an
land economies.
Under the Purnell act each state ez
e pertinent station receives $4,000 {
: carry on the designated new work an
/ to supplement the projects alread
! under way and this sum will be il
II creased by $4,000 each year for Il
y next four years, or until the tot,

T. B. IN POULTRY.

tuberculosis is ore Of the most
serious diseases of poultry in Mon
tana according to Dr.. Howard WEIGH,
veterinarian at Montana State college.
In practically every community in the
state, says the doctor, flOcks Of poul-
try may be found infected with the
disease. AS On the case Of cattle and
hogs tuberculosis can be detected IN
birds by testing, but ordinarily this
method is not resorted TO.
Poultry injected with tuberculosis,
advises the veterinarian, loses weight,
becomes droopy, spends much time on
the roosts and finally dies. Other
loss occurs through a falling OF ID
egg production. The disease is par
ticularly important because Of the
possibility Of its transmission 20

The traffic survey of Washington,
just completed by firm of trans
portation engineers, has answered
the question, whether it is more
expensive to ride to work on the
street car or in an automobile. The
answer is that it costs Washington
automobile owners nearly five, times
as much to use motor cars as'it does
to ride on the trolleys. The engi-
neers determined the annual average
cost of operating an automobile as
$4,000, or 11.49 cents a mile.
Comparing this with mileage costs
of other modes of transportation,
fixed after exhaustive surveys, they
found that;
Street cars, if tokens are bought
at 2-3 cents, cost 2.44 cents a
mile; if the Scent cash fare is paid,
they cost 2.93 cents per mile.
Motor busses, at cents a token.
cost 1855 cents a mile; at the 10
cent cash fare. 4.07 cents a mile.
Taxicabs cost 1890 cents a mile.
The engineers found that the
average WashingtoniaH drives to
work alone more often than ne car
ries passenger with him. Check
ers stationed around the boundaries
of the so-called downtown section
for a period Of some weeks deter
mined that the average number of
persons in automobiles entering the
downtown work section" was only
1876. Lots Of seats were vacant.
If the automobile owner was able
to share the cost of operating his
car with his .95 Of a passenger, his
mileage cost would be only 5.S5
cents mile, little more than twice
the street car cost, but the chance of
the owner collecting from his pas
senger is slight.

While agriculture in France and
Belgium has measurably improved
since the war, conditions in England
are far from encouraging and offer
little promise of an improved mar
ket for American agricultural pro-
ducts in the near future, according
to DR.. Thomas B. Symons, director
of the University of Maryland Ex-
tension Service, who but recently re-
turned from trip to Europe.
While DR.. Symons' trip was
mainly in the nature Of vacation,
he made special efforts in England.

the condition Of agriculture in those
three countries and to investigate
the progress being made in CO.
operative marketing and extension
education.
In England, according to DR.. Sym
ons, agriculture has suffered in
sympathy with generally unfavor-
able economic condition. Unemploy-
ment remains a big problem, labo'
conditions are unsettled, industry il
far from prosperous, taxes are high
and living costs have increased at
rapid rate. All of this has had Its
effect upon England's agriculture.
In addition, the English farmer must
contend with a minimum wage for
farm workers. with relatively low
prices for farm commodities and
with taxes that far exceed anything
the American farmer has to meet
The result has been decrease ir

In all three countries, farm or
