condition in a laundry bag hang
ing in the kitchen Of the Ballard
home, where the boys had been
playing" was the verdict of the
cOrOner's jury after the inquest
this morning.
The shooting occurred about
o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mrs
Laura Ballard, mother of the bo.

VOTERS MUST UNDERGO
LITERACY TEST UNDER
PROPOSED AMENDMENT

Whether literacy is to be a test
fer a voter in Montana is a ques-
tion which the people themselves
will decide if a bill for consti-
tutional amendment authorizing
the legislature to require a liter
acy test becomes a law. Notice
of the measure was given in the
house Thursday by Glaybill of
Cascade.
The amendment would give the
legislature power to establish this
test, if the legislature should deem
such a demarcation between citi-
zens advisable.

LOBLE DOUBTS VALUE
OF STATE ASSEMBLY;
WOULD CUT OUT PAY

Having certain misgivings con-
cerning the value of members of
the legislature to the public, Les
ter H. Loble, who has struggled
hard but much in vain in his cru
sade in the house against foolish
and obsolete laws, is winding up
his campaign by asking the re-
peal of the section of the codes
which fixes the salary of members
of the assembly at $40 a day and
allows them 10 cents a mile for
transportation.

which several witnesses for An

have been taken by him was a matter
for a civil action for damages. He
instructed the sheriff to make q re-
turn upon the search warrant issued
out of the district court subsequent
to the Loft raid.
Demurrer Filed
County Attorney E. A. Petersen, in
behalf of the sheriff, filed a demur-
rer to the application, alleging that
facts set forth did not constitute Il
sufficient cause upon which writ Of
mandate should issue. The court up
Oh convening at 10 o'clock Monday
morning heard this demurrer, denied
it and stated that it was up to the
defendant to file his answer to the
application.
Mr. Smith stated that he was ready
to proceed and asked for a short re-
cess in which to prepare his answer.
This was granted.
In his answer he entered a general
denial Of the charges and allegations
in the application and the hearing
then proceeded.
Otto S. Anderson, the relator, was
the first witness called by Mr.. Bunk
er. Anderson declared that when he
left for California about February
%, 1924, there were about 1876 bottles
of bonded whisky, besides several
cases Of cordials and other liquors,
stored in his residence at Three Forks,
such liquor being pre-Volstead stuff

business.
He said that all of this liquor was
removed and that he got back only
4S bottles and that some nine cases
of Pebblefcrd whisky, two cases of
Blue Ribbon whisky and considerable
other liquor was still missing.
He also stated that other personal
property, including linen, trunks,
shirts, a floor lamp, two automatic
pistols, some candy, about 1000 ci-
gars, worth approximately $3.50, had
disappeared.

pleasant table. placed In a bow win

hanging from the back Of H. a brown
overcoat. dOuble-breasted and adorned
with great silver buttons. The collar
and cuffs Of the coat were Of curly
black fur. Even while he sat at the
steering wheel II could be seen that
he was a very big man. probably tall,

thick black mustache covered his
mouth. He had heavy eyebrows
which met across his forehead. His
face WIS almost mahogany-colored.
Tommy stared at him with interest

GRAIN PROPORTION

Although equal parts Of mash and
grain are often recommended. Il Is not
desirable to hold TO any such arbitrary
figures. II Is desirable. however. 10
know what proportion is being con.
sumed so that production may be
somewhat regulated. During warm
seasons the proportion OF grain should
naturally be lower than In winter as
less sugars. starches and fat are need
ed for body warmth.
When egg production and health are
satisfactory Il ls wise to let well
enough alone regardless Of whether
more grain or more mash Il being con-
sumed. II production and consumption
Of mash are both low, the trouble may
lay In too much grain being fed, or In
an unappetiKlng mash. II the birds
are poor in fiesh and subject to colds,
the feeding Of more grain Is usually
the correct procedure.
Feeding wet mash instead Of dry
mash Is occasionally practiced with
success by skilled feeders. Because
there Is considerable risk OF overfeed-
Ing by this method. and because no
better results are secured for the time
expended. wet-mash feeding Is not
recommended as a substitute for hop

Promoting Chick Growth
by the Use of Sunlight

Direct sunlight an sn essential II
promoting growth Ia chicks ana IN pre-
venting the development Of leg weak
ness has been proved BY recent expert
ments just announced by the poultry
department OF the State College Of
Agriculture. New Brunswick, N. J.
One thousand chicks kept under
glass weighed only one-fourth pound
at the end OF u weeks. whereas 200
chicks Of the same age. but kept out.
doors in direct sunlight averaged one
and one-haIf pounda each.
Cod liver oil has for some time been
considered an effective growth stimu-
lator and preventive Of leg weakness,
80 the truth Of this was also investi-
gated by the experlmenters. OF the
chicks under glass 800 were fed vary
ing amounts Of the oil At the end Of
- weeks they were no more thrifty
than those receiving no oil. After the
ffth week leg weakness began TO ap-
pear among all OF the birds under
glass, whether they were being fed
cod liver oil or not. In contrast with
this the chicks kept IN direct sunlight
showed no leg weakness at all.
The combination Of direct sunlight
and cod liver also was tried By the
experiment station Using 200 chicks
and feeding oil equivalent In weight
to per cent Qf the ration, II found
that an average weight OF one and
three-fourths pounds per chick had
been attained. This was one-fourth-
pound more than the weight Of tbs
chicks getting sunlight but no oil.
II was found that chicks kept be-
mind glass and developing les weak
ness could be cured By q half-hour ex.
posure to sunlight on four days

Value of Limestone and
Oyster Shell for Hens

According TO Maryland Bulletin IA
"a crushing test Of eggs laid By oyster
sheII-fed and Iimestone-fed hens
showed no appreciable difference Ia
the strength Of shell.
''There wac practically no difference
IN the thickness Of shell OF production
IN the limestone pen.
"The consumption Of limestone per
bird was much less than the consump-
ton OF oyster shell even though there
was a greater egg production in the
limestone pen.
This test would indicate that lime
stone can be safely used as the sole
source Of supply Of material for egg
shell making with laying hens"
