and lateral roads on which they
can reach their markets and trad
ing places every day in the year.
The best and quickest way to get
them, the statement points out, is
to get proposed Bill No. 81 into
the statute books, and let the
state take care of the county's
federal roads, while the county
builds its farmer and feeder roads
with its regular road lev;es plus
its motor license fees, which it
will keep under TIE proposed
as lit does now.
The new law will really create

with federal aid and borne by the
automobile and truck owners, ex-
clusively, while the farmer, or
county roads, can be built by the

the state to be made. Another
advantage to the farmer is that IS

SWEET CLOVER
WANTS SWEET SOIL

Where sweet clover is to be
sown on acid soils sufficient lime
should first be applied to neutral
ize the acids in the soil to ? de0-h
of 6 inches. says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
An application of 1 ton of burnt
lime or 2 tons of finely ground
limestone will usually be sufficient
for this purpose.
Although fields with apparent
ly acid soils have been known to
make a fair growth of sweet Glow
er, such fields usually are rich in
humus or phosphorus and are ex-
ceptional. Soil types with slight
ly acid surface soils and alkaline
subsoils will grow sweet clover
successfully, provided the acid
soil is not more than 6 to II inches
in depth. If a maximum growth
is to be expected, however, sweet
clover, like many legumes, must
be grown on soil having an
abundance of lime.

OPINION
ON MEASURE %

Referendum Measure No. 2s
is worthy of the careful consid-
GRAFTON of every voter in Mon
tana. This measure will help to
equalize u school tax burden,
abolish excessive school levies and
provide a more uniform school
term throughout the entire
state"
GLENN T. DAVIS, member of
1925 Legislature from Wibaux
county, member of Joint Commit
tee which wrote the two meas
Iures.
From Daniels County
referring to Referendum
Measure No. 20, the 5+nill levy
for the schools, will say that be-
;ng familiar with this measure,
I am glad to endorse it, as it IS
he only solution of the inequali-
ties of levies existing Throughout
the state. Districts where exces-
sive levies are necessary will be
benefited by its passage"
FRED HANSON, member of
the 1925 Legislature from Daniels
county, member of the Joint Com
mittee.
Not A Tax Raise
"Considerable opposition to
Referendum Measure No. 20 is
from people who enormously be-
lieve this to be a five mill levy in
addition to the present school lev
les. Of course it is no such thing.
When the legislature passed the
bill which has become known as
Referendum Measure No. 90. it
also passed the act for limitations
of levies by school trustees and
by vote of the taxpayers. This
limitation act is now Chapter 169
Of our 1925 laws. If the refer
oiIuull CdIIitS, CIe lllHlOd CiOI dCt
will be in force. So, while the
referendum measure provides for
statewide five mill levy, the
imitation act reduces the amount
he school trustees IAN levy from
EN- to six mills and the special
evy by taxpayers from no limit
o 20 mills. These matters should
pe brought to the attention of the
~lectors in the clearest possible
manner.
81 believe these two measures
viii greatly relieve the i%nequali-
les of the tax burden for the sup
'ort of the schools and give Mon
ana children a fairer and more
quail chance to obtain a common
nd high school education" Il

FRESH AND CANNED
PINEAPPLE

Analyses made by the United
States Department of Agriculture
show that the artifcially ripened
fruit sold in the American mar
'ket as fresh pineapple, lacks the
proper formst on of sugar and is
never the same in food value or
flavor as the naturally ripened
fruit. This~is true, even though
the green pineapple on its trip to
the market may turn yellow and
appear to be ripe. The canned
pineapple, packed at q stage OF
natural ripeness, is superior in
bosh food value and flavor to this
so-called fresh product.

TO AND PARENTS: A

With the approach of Halloween the Council has thought
wise to publish a few words of suggestion to Wolf Point
Young people and their parents. Halloween is the time OF
frolic and merrymaking, but it should not be a time of wan
ton destruction of property nor the perpetuation of jokes
that will cause trouble and expense to undo. Let's play fair
this Halloween and look at Halloween pranks from the other
fellows standpoint. Soaping windows, overturning small
buildings, carrying away small articles that may be left lying
around may seem like jokes, but such things cause work and
sometimes expense to set right Parents who uphold children
in such mischief are setting their feet on the road to lawless-
ness. Let's have a safe and sane Halloween with plenty of
Harmless fun but no prsnks that any of our young people
would be ashamed to own up to.

Silver Bow county would contribute almost as much per child as

of the others.

We wonder how the gentlemen of the opposition who have
appeared so frequently in print, would reconcile their guess YORK
with the facts or record.
In Lewis and Clark county is one district with a valuation, per
teacher, of over one million dollars and another with a valuation
per teacher, of only ~$17000.00. Many districts in the state levy
tempt to maintain their schools, while adjoining districts, in many
cases, make no levy at all or a very low one.
This condition the gentlemen of the opposition seem 10 be
bent upon perpetuahng. At least, they are using every artlhce
known to the propogandist to defeat the remedy offered and are
offering nothing in its place.
Our State can never make the most of itself 50 long as it
thrusts with lavish hand most exravagant schooling advantages
upon a part Of its children while at the same time requiring of the
balance of them the utmost of privation and hardship IN order to
acquire even the rudiments of education.
AS a matter of pure justice to thousands of children now I'M
dergoing unreasonable hardships striving to make something of
themselves, and the parents who are taxing themselves into bank
state a a whole and the millions in wealth now almost untaxed,
for school purposes, be made to carry a larger portion of our school
burden, and relief to that extent be given to hard pressed rural
districts?
