NERVE SHOCK

IN an era when city nerves are
u constantly Jared by. the roar
of traffic, the rush of taxis and
the stress and hustle of getting

is comforting to know that an
easily acquired food acts as a pro.
lection to the nerve forces which
are SO constantly besieged.
Ice cream, procured at the cor

counter of cafeteria, contains the
elements which serve as shock

Gravel Roads Are Good on
Friday; Rough on Sunday
Wssk-End Traffic and All-Day Rains
Cause Temporary Breakdown
States Unpaved Highways

A letter complaining about the
condition Of one Of the main trunk
highways startled Highway Commits
sioner C. M. Babcock when he read
his morning mail recently. He had
been over the road three days before
and found it smooth as pavement.
Mr.. Babcock looked at his calen-
dar, at the late line on the letter and
then at the tabulation of the last traf-
fic census The letter was written the
morning after a Sunday when it had
rained several hours and the road was
one which carried an average OF l.
217 vehicles per day when the 1925
traffic census was taken.
"a road which carries an average
of 1000 machines per day during the
week probably carries about 1000 on
Saturday and 5000 on Sunday" said
Mr.. Babcock. s'There is no gravel
road built that will stand up under
that traffic through several hours of
rain. But if this man will go over
that road after the sun has been shin
ing and the parchment have been
working couple Of days, he will find
it in good shape again.

quality is an important factor in de-

Poultry-Receipts Of live poultry

markets for live fowl have been
steady, receipts being well taken care
OF, the movement Of broilers being
marketed has increased to the ex-
tent that in some markets they are
beginning to accumulate and not
meeting a ready demand. As a re-
suit prices of broilers have been re-
duced materially. Quotations Chic

However, receipts for the week just
past were not as heavy as the preced-

than the total for the other FIVE days
Of the week. The maintenance men
can do nothing on the road until the
rain stops, and they do not work on
Sunday except in case Of emergencies
which block the road or endanger
traffic.
"Before we had the trunk highway
system and regular maintenance, few
people would attempt long auto trip
when it rained. With our maine
tenance system, together with SER
les Of dry years, people have become
accustomed to planning their trips
and going, rain or shine. It is not
uncommon ia drive all day in the
rain. Our gravel roads will stand
many times as much traffic as dirt
roads, but there is a limit. AS it is,
they have remained better than pass
able, and the worst that motorists can
say is that they had to slow up or that
they have broken spring or two.
But no road except paved road can
carry two thousand, one thousand, or
even five hundred vehicles through an
all day rain and still be a good road.

motorists an idea Of what viii happen
if we get series Of wet years. We
can all remember years when it has
rained almost every day for weeks at
a time. The best Of our graveled

SASKATCHEWAN
TRIP PLANNED
Northeastern Montana AgricuIturists
Will Inspect Saskatchewan Methods
Next July-Many Expected to
Make Journey.

Glasgow.-The six northeastern
Montana counties, including Daniels,
Sheridan, Valley, McCOne, Richland
and Roosevelt, are cooperating in
conducting an educational farm tour
to Regina Indianhead in the province
of Saskatchewan, July 8, 8 and 10,
County Agent G. H. Wilson has an
nOmced.
Several points of interest will be
visited en- route to Regina, including
the government illustration and de-
mOnstration farm at Ogema, the KEEL
lander pure seed farm at Wilcox and
the Petermeyer farm, one of the
largest and best managed farms in
the Wilcox section, which is a few
miles south of Regina.
Superintendent Gibson of the In
dian Head experiment station has in
vited the American visitors to inspect
that station and will furnish a guide
/ to explain all the Unconstitutional
plots and progressive research work
in all kinds of cereal crops, including
varieties and tillage as we'll as live
stock, also has a forestry station
which demonstrates clearly what can
be done in the way of tree paintings
and home Identification in the great
plains area.
The American farmer will be inter
ested particularly in the crop variety
tests, which include all the famous
Canadian varieties of wheat, oats,
flax and barley, together with the
several methods of tillage that they
are trying to prove as factors in cut
ting down production cost and in
creasing acre income, Mr.. Wilson be-
lieves.
George Cooke, manager-secretary
of the Regina Commercial club, saws
that Regina is DESTROYS of showing
American visitors it's city.
Since the projected tour conducted
by Roosevelt county last year there
has been keen interest by both farm
ers and business men of northeastern
Montana in such a trip in order to
check up on the Canadians progress
in farming and it is believed with
such interest that this will be one OF
the largest tours of this kind ever
held in the state.

DAGMAR MAN WRITES ON
co. FAIR AND LIBRARY RENTA

Editor Producers News:
The County Fair proposition which
caused such a ripple in the county
some time ago seems to have evapor-
ated into thin air. The first proposi-
ton put forward by the business men
OF PlentywoOd was not popular
amongst the farmers for the reason
that they considered it would be
working an undue hardship upon the
taxpayers to expect the county to put
up all the buildings. This would cost
a large sum in itself and would also
mean the appointment of an addition
al county employee to take care of
the buildings and grounds, viz:
Waterman.
1t seems to me the best plan would
be for the business men to build and
own the fair ground buildings. The
merchants of Plentywood could make
such place pay through methods the
county could not employ, such as
horseracing, stampedes, baseball
games, etc. The county could then
donate $1,000 or more for prizes. All
this money, donated by the County.
would then go to the farmers while
the town people would benefit by the
crowds attracted to the town. An ar
rangement like this could, it seems to
me, be improved upon, by representa-
ives OF the business men and farm
ers, and made workable and satisfac-
tory to all concerned. Let these
things be settled in the light of rea-
son and justice.
With reference to the articles ap-
pearlng in the Producers News aboilt
the occupation of a public building
by a business such as that operated
by the Mckee-Langer Company, I am
IN hearty accord. Why should man
IKE Mckee be placed on the same
level as county officer and be given
the support of a great public build
ing for the purpose of making a Iiv-
ing Off the farmers? Let us sun-
pose a Nonpartisan League Or0aniz-
ef We're to set up in business in some
PUBIC library or court house building

DO you think that he could nut ont
