FN PRINCE TOSSED AGAIN, BREAKS COLLAR BONE
This Was His Second Fall From Horse in
 Two Days

Leicester, England, Jan. 26 P--
 i.e Prince Of Wales suffered G trac-
 ured collarbone when he was
 brown from his horse today while
 uniting with the Fernie hounds.
 The ccident occurred at Little shelton this afternoon. The prince
 ell on his left shoulder, breaking ne collarbone on that side. He is 'cturning to London for medical at .ention.
 The prince stood the effects Of his accident well, as was indicated by he fact that he telephoned to his private secretary this afternoon and made light of his hurt. It is not be- licved he will have to stay in hos pital.
 It is recalled that he broke his right collarbone In similar fall in 1924 and made speedy recovery
 The Prince of Wales fall today vas the second ill two days, as he vas thrown yesterday at Melton Mowbay when his horse fell dead under him. IL makes his fifteenth riding accident since the autumn Of 1920. On one previous occasion, near Leighto Buzzard, in February, 1924, he suffered 8 broken collarbone while training hunter.
 The frequence of the princes ac- cidents has been the subject of con. siderable anxiety and public discus sion in England where there is Q strong feeling that the heir to the throne should not be so disregardful Of his personal safety.
 Recently 1t was said In circles close to the royal family that dur ing the latter part Of 1925, while queen Mother Alexandra was ap- preaching her end, the prince con- siderably limited his hunting activi- ties so as not to give his grandmoth- rr cause for worry, but since the new year he has been as active as ever in riding and following the hounds.
 On his last trip to America in 1924, he vas quoted as replying 10 9 question as to why he was such an unlucky horssman: T never fell off horses. In the 12 years I have been rding-in hunts, races and polo-1 nave never fallen from & horse, Every time l have had a tumble 1t has been the lerse that went down. l have never fallen while the horse was standing"
 Most Of the princes riding acci, dents have occurred while hunting, he has been thrown once while playing polo and several tins during racs. His latest accidents in- clude cut over the eye during a polo game at Meadowhrook, E. l., and . hunting fall near Toronto l both during his 1924 visit to Amer iCa.
 Little Shelton. where today's &C., cident occurred, is in the Noting. | nam section, near Melton Mowray, one Of the princes hunting head 1 quarters. Lord Stalbridge is the ! master of the Fenie pack Of fox i hounds, the kennels Of which are at Great Bowden, Market Marlborough.

Chicago, Jan, 28 R)-- The second taste of sub-zero temperatures within fortnight, garlished with snow, wind and ice, was on the weather menu of the northwest and Great Lakes area today.
 Two fishing tugs, each carrying four men, spent the night in grave danger of breaking up in the Lake Michigan ice off Muskegon. Mich. The steamer Alabama, known as an Ice breaker, went to the rescue, but was forced to stand by helpless A field of grinding ice and snow, storm driven by a 5O mile gale, added to the hazard.
 The same gale sweeping out Of Canada, through Minnesota and Wisconsin, brought a chilly break fast to northern Illinois and In diana, with the prospect that mod eration would not come until late tomorrow or Saturday.

trend TOWARD
DIVERSIFICATION

Both the rapid trend towards di-
versification that is taking place IN
the state and the drop in valuations
following the price declines of 1920,
are reflected in the preliminary fig
ures Of the 1925 census for Montana.
In 1925 there were more than 73 mil
lion gallons of milk produced in the
state, as compared with 81 million
gallons in 1920. The number Of
chickens increased from approxim-
ately two million to two and half
million, and the number Of dozens
Of eggs produced from less than II
million to nearly 13 and half mil
lion. The value of farm implements
and machinery declined from So
million to less than 81 million and
the number Of tractors from 7,64T

WOULD COMMUTE
SALESVILLE BANK
ROBBERS Term

Communication of sentence in the
case of John A. Welch, Salesville
bank robber, has been recommended
by Governor J. E. Erickson to the
state pardon board and hearing has
been set for October 4.
Welch was sentenced to the peni-
tentiary in 1924 to serve from seven
and one-half to Is years. The COM
mutation, if approved, would cut this
sentence to from five to 10 years.
The governors recommendation was
based, it is said, upon the declara-
tion of Warden Middleton that Welch
has been a model and Industrious
prisoner, and upon the favorable rec
concentrations of the district judge
and the county attorney of Gallatin
county.
The case recalls a series of bank
robberies which occurred prior to the
Salesville affair, involving banks at
Waller, Ennis, Sheridan, DrummOnd,
Fairfield, and other places. Through
the efforts of the Montana Bankers
association, IA Or Is persons were
apprehended and most of them sent
to prison in Montana or elsewhere
Little of the loot, however, was re-
covered.

CONTENT
MONTANA'S Spring
wheat VERY HIGH

Montana's spring wheat this sea-
son will average approximately IA
per cent in protein content, accord
ing to tests made on almost 500 SAM
pies of grain from 80 of the more
important wheat growing counties Of
the state by the Montana Grain In
spection laboratory here. The aver
age protein content for the different
counties ranges from a high of 1885
per cent in Liberty county to a low
of 1909 per cent for Jefferson coun-
ty. In general, the samples tested
from northern, eastern and central
counties of the state had the highest
average protein content, while those
from the western and southern coun-
ties had the lowest.
The study of protein averages for
the counties of the state shows a
rather definite relation between
amount of rainfall and protein con-
tent. In the three eastern counties
of Prairie, Custer and FallOn, where
there was less moisture than in any
part Of the state during the past
growing season, 27 samples of wheat
had an average protein content Of
Is per cent. In Hill, Liberty and
northern ChOuteau counties, where
there also was limited rainfall, tests
of more than so samples showed an
average protein content of almost Is
per cent. In Teton and Cascade
counties, which ordinarily produce
much high protein wheat, rainfall
was quite abundant this year and
the average protein content Of more
than 60 samples was approximately
1925 per cent.

Northern Montana is making prep
aratiOns for the greatest corn show
ever held in that part Of the state.
The show this year will be held at
Havre, October 27-3O, with E. 3.
Duncan, county agent of Hill county,
as manager. This will be the fifth
year Of the northern Montana ex-
hibit and each year since the first
one held at Malta in 1928 it has
grown in size and popularity. BY ro-

direct contact with the important
corn development that has taken
place.
in addition to the regular corn
show, Mr. Duncan announces that he

out the greatest display Of Duroc-

der quarantine in the city, ac-
cOrding to DIR. R. E. Seitz, acting
health officer, who urges that ev-
erv unvaccinated person be vac

81 do not wish this construed
as an alarmiss statement" DIR.
Seitz explained. 81 want simply
to emphasize the necessity of TAX
ing proper preventive measures.
There is nothing particularly
startling in the existence of this
disease in the community, but
commOnsense dictates that we give
it no opportunity to become cpl
demic."
All of the cases, according to
Or. Seitz, have been very mild
in nature. With the opening Of
school, however, the danger of the
cOntagiOn spreading has been in
creased.
children, especially" declared
DIR. Seitz, SHOULD be protected by
vaccination, and adults should not
neglect the same precautiOn,
While the disease here is mild, a
quarantine is a tedious and ex-
pensive experience. It can be
avoided by vaccination"

wheat acreage approximately 5 per

down to 488,OO0 acres. Rye also is
coming back into popularity with
prospects of $4,000 acres as com
pared with 10000 acres for the pasi
year.
