Westland Oil Co. Slashes
The Price of Gasoline

Independent ScObey Concern Cuts
Price for Third Time Since 1t
Started. Continental Oil Men
Keep Wires Hot When An
hOuncement Is Made By North
eastern Montana Company.
Smashing it's prices for the
third time in its brief history,
the Westland Oil Company of
ScObey, reduced the price of gas
line and kerosene 1 y cents per
gallon yesterday. It's new bulk
station price today is "a cents
per gallon and its service station
price is 26c per gallon for gasO-
line. The price of Westland
kerosene is 19 cents.
Second Cut In Week
This is the second cut in prices
of Westland oil within a week.
The ScObey company is selling
gas much cheaper now than the
stations of the Continental. The
cuts in March by the Westland
are the first for a period of Is
months when the new Pennsyl-
vania Company threatened to in
terfere with the Westland bust
ness in the PlentywOOd territory
about 16 months ago. The West
land, which has several stations
established over Northeastern
Montana and western North Da-
kOta, bought up the Pennsyl-
Vania.
Continental Outfit Busy
: Agents for the Continental
Company have swarmed all over
Northeastern Montana during the
= past two weeks. They are seek
ing to place their pumps in front
of all garages and gas stations
and are making attractive offers
* to get business. The cut in
prices by the Westland gave the
agents of the trust a sudden set
back and the wires are now hot
to their head offices. The West
land is an Independent fighting
concern financed by eastern Mon
tana capital. The concern has
grown rapidly for the past three
years and now contemplate
changing its head offices to Mi
not, North Dakota.

PROFESSOR STUDIES CRYSTAL
DETECTOR

The old crystal detector which has
been so closely associated with radio
ever since it has been known, is not
yet fully understood in its action
Many varied theories have been adj
vanced, but none can be said to con-
clusively explain how the crystal de-
teetor works. An extensive study of
the crystal is now being made by
Prof. Ernest Merritt, head of the
Cornell Physics department. who be-
lIeves important results hinge on the
solution.
Most crystal detectors,a said
Prof. Merit, ARE natural minerals
of rather complicated composition and
very likely to be impure. In my
study of the subject I am trying to
simplify the problem by using ele-
ments which are as nearly as possible
chemically pure instead of compli-
Gated compounds.
1 have found that selenium and
germanium are excellent deteetors
and confidently expect that several
other elements will show similar ac
tlon The most promising theory of
the crystals action seems to be some
thing as follows:
IF current passes from germanium
to a metal contact the electrons must
cross the minute space which separ-
ates the metal from the other Gle
ment, and in order to do this. the
must be pulled out Of the
germanium.
IF the current goes the other way
they must be pulled from the other
metal. 1t may be that it is harder
10 pull them out of one metal than
he other so that the current flows
more readily in one direction than in
he other.
If some explanation of this sort
S the correct one, it may prove that
study of this simple little device
nay help very materially in giving
IS better understanding of the be-
avlour OF electrons in metals and of
ne nature of crystalline Materials

Organize "Book-Nooks"

Have you a "book-nook" in youl
community? A ebook-nook" is a rem
tai library in which each reader is a
stakeholder. At least one will succeed
IN any town even if it has a public
library. You see, a ''book-nooko will
contain only up-to-date fiction and
books that are requested by the men,
bers.
1t may be organized by a club with
an office as its headquarters or an
individual may conduct it in her home.
A fee of one dollar is charged each
one who wishes book. This fee
gives each renter share and is used
to buy new books. The rental charge
may range from three to five cents
day or be flat rate of TWENTY
tive cents a book.
Oftentimes publishers will if re-
supply the initial volumes.
They, too, will gladly send YOU
lists OF new publications. AS the
books become declasse they can be
donated to the public library or sold.

In garden near Nottingham, Eng.
tomato plants were giving tremen-
dous yields out of all proportion to
any others in the locality. HoIIyhocks,
laden with giant blooms, are over
ten feet in height. Sweet peas also
are wonderfully abundant.

utes this remarkable growth to the

lated copper wires on which to train
his plants.

| Where shall be buried? Or what
shall | do with my body? Are the
questions taken from the editorial
pages of the press only recently.
Peoples views vary on the ques-
ton of burial. To some any discussion
OF the subject is distasteful. and they
avoid consideration of it until they are
brought face to face with necessity;
they then probably allow someone
else to act for them. Others consider
the preparation of such things i'm
portant, and they realize that it is
wise to attend to it when they have
time and opportunity. Still others, es-
pecially those who have lost dear ones,
desire to do all in their power that
may betoken a respectful service to
the memory of those whom thew low
ed.
Ultimately the subject must be
faced, for the day will come when. as
heads of households, we must provide
Tor those who shall pass awav from
us, and preparation for it is plainly
a duty which should not be definitely
deferred
The practice of burying human bod
les IN the ground, coupled with the
certain knowledge of what becomes
OF them there, is responsible for much
OF the horror and dread of death.
while the unsanitary character of
this method of burial discloses I'M
danger to the living. Sir
Henry Thompson speaks very plainly
tor those who consider all burial
places dangerous to the living when
ne says: mo dead body is ever
placed IN the soil without pollutinp
he earth, the air, and the water
tbove and below it." In addition to
he unsanitary feature of the earth
'uflai, there is the knowledge that no
natter how suitable for interment
he soil may be, it is sure to be sa-
urated with water each rainy season.
Cremation offers solution of the
roblem of sanitary disposal of the
cad; but it is difficult for most peo-
lie to bring themselves to regard
