Start Chicks Right by
Needing Them Properly

For the first 60 hours of chIc..'s
life, perhaps the best thing that can
be done is to provide warm, dark
place with plenty OF ventilation. When
the chicks are hatched they retain
large portion Of the yolk In their
bodies In an unabsorbed form. Nature
provides this for food during the first
three days of the chicks life. II the
chicks are given food Immediately, q
large portion OF this yolk will not be
absorbed and thus cause trouble later.
If chicks are left where 1t is light,
they will be restless and will pick at
droppings, which Is apt to spread dis.
ease. IL the chicks are kept quiet they
will absorb the yolk and the digestive
tract will finish its development, there
by preparing 1t for the first food,
which should come at from 60 to 40
hours after Matching.

Before the commissioners ever

letter from the Caterpillar Co. telling
them how much more economical il
would be for them to buy two trac-
tors, instead of one, because the two
tractors could be shipped on one
car and there would be a big saving
on the freight.
When the two tractors arrived
each one was riding in a special car
the freight on each car was $450.0(

assortment of beautiful costumes
which bring out the different charac-

"The Humbug" consists of a plot,

they have been adapted.
Everyone is bound to get a big

TAYLOR BACK
FROM MINNESOTA

Senator Chas. E. Taylor returned
Wednesday from the North woods
district of Minnesota where he had
been visiting friends ana looking af-
ter logging work on Mrs. Taylor's
homestead in that section of the
Gopher state.
The Senator is looking well and is
glad to be back in his old stamping
ground, from which he has been alb
sent almost continuously since the
Legislative session started last Janu-
airy.
He stated that in many places on
his way out, the rivers were high
and farming operations were prac-
tically at a standstill. The Red Riv-
er in Minnesota and the Mouse river
in Dakota were overflowing their
banks and inundating nearby farms
He said that farming was more adj
vanced here than any section he had
seen in his travels.

Wild West Time In COmertOwn
1t appears that young Tom Brock
ley of Comertown returned from a
trip to Canada in slightly exhilar-
ated condition some time ago and
visited the depot agent at the famous
500 line town of Comertown. The
elder Brockley saw or heard that his
son came from the office of Depot
Agent Schilling and being an ardent
prohibitionist and opponent of strong
liquor proceeded to exact punitive
justice on the head of the depot
agent. Tom Brockley, Sr., with a
spirit reminiscent of Cometrown be-
fore the people from the effete east
colonized it, got his trusty forty-five
and started in search of the Depot
Agent, whom he charged with inter-
fering with the sobriety of his son,
and put that gentleman to flight to
the great dismay of the live burg and
to the danger of the passengers of
the 500 Line Express that whizzed
past while this exhibition of Wild
West chastisement was being staged
| The net result of the whole episode
was that the Depot Agent got sore
and appealed to the law of Montana
for redress. A warrant was sworr
to and Under-Sheriff Robke arrested
his man.

When Brockley came to town h'
went to the office of Attorney Pau

Gentlemen:
Please be advised that actions now

In these proceedings the Interstate
Commerce Commission has assumed

by the Montana Board of Railroad
Commissioners. On the contrary the
Montana Board has not only given its
assent but has actively Joined the

As citizen and taxpayer of this
State, it is my privilege to call to
your attention the obligation and du-
ty of state officials to uphold the
constitutional and statutory laws OF
the State of Montana.

Effect on Other Auto Makers
The impending advent of the new
Ford car has had a distinct effect on
the position and activities of other
automobile manufacturers in the last
few days. The new Ford model now
IS scheduled for appearance in July.
This information comes directly from
men who have been III personal touch
with the great manufactures. 1t is
confirmed by number of Ford deal
ers, who admit they have been noti-
fled and afforded protection in con-
nection with the event.
The effect of the expected pre-
sentatiOn to the public, the date for
which now becomes known for the
first time, has been shown clearly
IN the stock market and in a check
OF sales for some manufacturers, at
the very peak of the buying season.
On unquestioned authority comes
the news that the car is not new
car IN reality, nor is it a radical de-
parture from present lines. 1t is
modernization of the Ford car. AS
described by the manufacturer to men
who have discussed it with him, it is
four-cylinder car, but has replaced
the old planetary transmission with
gear shift. The motor has a long
er stroke, more revolutions per min
ute and a gear ratio which will in
