Shortly before going abroad, Mr.

Gently. The banker advanced the het-
erodox opinion that common stocks
offered better investment possibilities
for Young people than high grade
bonds. adding that he was acting on
that view in providing a competence
for his own children. Mr.. Smith de
Tended the orthodox view that bonds
were better, and undertook an elabo-
rate statistical investigation to prove
his case. His study. however. indicat-
ed to him that the banker was right.
and the result was his book called
Common Stocks as Long Term In

ed widespread attention, and now Mr..
Smith heads an investment company
which operates on the theory that
we'll selected common stocks bought
at Dropitious times offer the best out
let fort hrift funds. Thus practice
has followed theory. or. as Oscar
Wilde might say. life has initiated art.
Mr.. Smiths success in discovering
important new financial secrets by
waving the wand of statistics has
stimulated other studies along SINH

The Standard Statistics Company
has just completed an investigation as
to the behavior of preferred stocks.

greasy may be that the fat is not hot
enough. There are several ways Of testing
the fat The most accurate way is to use
a fat thermometer, and to fry the dough-
nuts at 3S5 degrees +. A very common
test is the bread cube test and we use
what we call a 60 second fat for d%Oughnuts.
When a piece Of bread will brown in the
fat in go seconds the fat is ready for
~dOughnuts. Many women use a piece of
the dOughnut dough to test the fat.
Don't wait for the fat to smoke. That
is when d%Oughnuts become indigestible.
When fat smokes it splits and forms sub
stances which are not healthful. That is
why it is best to use a fat which has a
high smoking temperature. And there is
the advantage, too, that it doesn't make
your house smell badly.
It's very important then that the fat
temperature be correct. If the fat is 90
hot, the d%OughnutS viii be too brown on
the outside, and raw in the center. If the
fat is not hot enough, the dOughnuts will
soak grease. Here are the cream dOughnutS

which is one of the main divis-
n ions of work offered in the an
nual winter school of agriculture
starting January 3 and closing March

means of training men to direct Mon
tana's rapidly growing dairying in
dustry, says ]. A. Nelson, in charge
of dairy manufacturing at the col
lege.
The rapid growth Of dairying in the state
and possibilities for further expansion call
for efficient capable leadership, he says.
Commenting on the industry and the place
and purpose of the dairy short course, Mr..
Nelson says:
Production figures show that the dairy
industry has made rapid strides during the
past four years. In 1921, creameries of the
state produced 7,464,010 pounds of butter
in 1925 the figures had increased to more
than fourteen and One-half million pounds
pounds in 1921, and in 1925 production had
increased to 1,404,55S pounds. Ice cream
production increased from 4S1, 100 gallons
in 1921 TO 1915 3 gallons in 1926.
The number of creameries and ice cream
factories in the state has doubled since
1913, and the number OF cheese factories
increased three fold.
This development has created a great de
mand for men trained in dairy manufac
turing work, and it is the aim Of the dairy
short course at Montana State college Il
meet this demand.
