Woodrow Wilson the important Incl
dents during his career as President
are especially emphasized. The
declaration of war, the dreadful cpl
sode of the war, the Armistice, the
trip abroad, reception by foreign
potentates, the negotiation and sign
ing of the Peace Treaty. 1t is Non
Partisan and Non Propagandistic.

Wilson or not should feel anxious for
Maryland to own a film of such his

FORD BUILDING FOUR CYL
Under THREE-SPEEDER
New Product Will Also Have
Planetary Transmission And
Some Modification of Body

A new advertising policy will be
inaugurated by Henry Ford this sum-
mer along with his announcement of
a new four-cylinder, three-forward
speed car, it was learned recently.
When the new Ford is ready for the
American and world markets, under
his present plans, Mr.. Ford will mi
tiate a policy of advertising the quail
ity of his car rather than its price.
The motor buying public will be told
about the 'good Ford car" rather
than the "cheap Ford car" The policy
already has been adopted for the Ford
trucks and the Fordson tractor.
News of Plans Leak Out.
This much was learned through the
heavy cloak of secrecy which envel-
opes the Ford organization at all
times and which was clamped down
tighter than ever following the ex-
elusive announcement of Information
al News Service that the auto kings
new car would be a our-cylinder,
three-forward speed Ford with plane
tary transmission and some body
notifications.
One Spokesman" for the Ford
plant gave partial confirmation to the
exclusive announcement by admitting
that new machinery is being installed
at the Ford factories around Detroit
for production of the new car. He al
so confirmed reports from New York
that large quantities of tools, machin-
cry, and dies had been bought in the
east for use in constructing the new
car. He begged, however, that his
name be withheld.
Officials of the company would not
comment publicly on the International
News Service announcement. They
would not deny the story, however,
saying merely that all formal an
hnouncements would have to come
from Ford himself. The motor king,
meanwhile, was confined to his home,
recuperating from injuries suffered
two weeks ago in motor crash. His
estate was heavily guarded and news
paper men were repulsed at the
gates.
Ford Dislikes Publicity.
The Ford officials pointed out that
the automobile king doesn't like pub
Lefty on his plans and indicated that
Ford desired to announce his new ear
as a complete surprise to the motor
world.
The change in advertising policy,
which Ford is said to be contemplate
ing, grew out of the fact that his car,
while made from the best materials
obtainable, has gained reputation as
"cheap car" This rather injured
Ford's pride because he has gone to
extraordinary lengths to obtain the
best raw materials to be placed in
his car.
Great quantities of literature are
being circulated among farm organi-
cations telling of the good qualities"
of the Ford truck and Fordsoh trac-
tor. The farmers are told not that
the truck is cheap but that it will
give good service and will save them
much overhead expense. They are
told the tractor will replace four
horses at half the cost, do the work in
all kinds of weather and can be used
for a hundred tasks for which horses
are not suited.
1t is this type of publicity that Ford
now plans to use for the Ford passen-
ger cars.

A DIMINISHING CROP

One crop that is not wanted IN
Maryland, has been cut in half in. the
last ten years, DR.. John S. Fulton,
Director of the State Department of
Health said recently in connection
with the announcement that in some
parts of the State, the health officers
have begun the vaccination of the
older girls and boys in the schools,
against typhoid fever. He was re-
ferring to the annual crop of typhoid
fever cases.
SIN 1917" he said, there were 1775
cases of typhoid fever reported to the
State Bureau of Communicable Dis
eases, among people in the State, out
side of Baltimore City, with 155
deaths. In 1926, there were $50 cases
and IS deaths. Typhoid fever begins
to flare up about the middle of April.
1t continues to increase until the mid
die of September when it begins to
decline. The disease is no respecter
of persons or Of ages. 1t strikes
hardest at the age groups from five
to forty, but no age is safe from it
by reason of age alone. The cases
reported to the Department, range
from babies three months old to their
great grandfathers and grandmothers
of eighty or eighty-fve.
1.-THE great reduction in Maryland,
as in other States, has been brought
about by combination of methods.
These have included the protection of
water supplies, the safeguarding of
food supplies from infection at the
source, and from contamination by
carriers of typhoid, the careful
supervision of each individual case to
prevent the spread Of the disease to
others and the protection of individ-
uals through vaccination against the
disease.
"The State Department of Health
can be depended upon to continue its
active fight against this unnecessary
and avoidable disease, but there will
be sources of infection that can be
warded off only through the protec-
ton afforded the individual by vac
cination.
"As the season approaches for the
open road, for hiking, for out door
sports, my advice to all prospective
mixers, to all boy and girl Scouts, to
all users of the open road whether
for business or for pleasure-to
everybody in fact-who has not been
protected against typhoid fever in
the last year or two ITO go to your
doctor or to the nearest health office
for the three innoculations that will
protect you from the disease for
another twelve months or longer.
The State Department of Health sup
plies the vaccine without charge.
Your only expense will be your doc
tors fee."

Auto ASSN Plans
National Campaign

National advertising of the American
Automobile association is a probability
next year, according to A. j. Breiten-
stein, secretary of the Montana Auto
mobile association, who returned from
the third annual conference at Port
land. of northwest automobile associa-
lions.
According to Mr.. Breitenstein, the gen.
eral manager of A.. A. A., Ernest N. Smith
of Washington, D. c., explained that al
though national advertising would bene-
fit all sections of the country, the Pa
cific northwest would be the strongest
attraction to tourists OF the east.
The state automobile bureaus reported
that there was more travel to Montana
this year than any time before, Mr.. Brett
enstein said. This they explained was
largely because of the wide distribution
by the Montana Automobile association
Of oad maps and information concerning
conditions Of the roads.
Round table discussions were held at
the conference with the aim Of securing
better coordination among the various
clubs. The discussions were about emer-
gency road service, the routing OF tour
lists and the distribution and interchange
Of literature.
Mr.. B~reitenstein spent IN extra day al
the Oregon State Motor association head
quarters at Portland, at the Seattle head
quarters OF the Washington Automobile
association and at headquarters at Spo-
Kane of the Inland Empire Automobile
association. At each place he instructed
employees as to Montana road conditions
the scenic attractions in the state anc
how to route tourists.

TREASURE STATE FARM and LIVESTOCK
Montana Harvest Scene
Presents Pleasing Picture

last year, q factor which somewhat off
sets the unfavorable situation regard
ing price and wheat quality.
All through the season, reports IRON
eastern Montana have indicated thai
this area OF the state was due for ont
of the most productive years on record
Late reports are substantiating this early
expectation. Dry lane wheat is averaging
from 40 to rs bushels per acre; sugar
beet harvest has started, with indica'
lions of some Of the best yields on rec
ord: beans have produced we'll and are OF
excellent quality. and even corn, which
was almost despaired of earlier in thu
season.. has turned out very well in mos
counties.
Along the "Highline" conditions are
equally good except for a few localities
up in the northeastern corner. In Hill
county some of the late planted spring
wheat will not mature but this acreage
is small. The rest of the crop is yield
ing high and threshing is nearing com
pletion. In the neighboring county o.
Blaine, spring wheat is averaging 2t
bushels per acre. In Phillips, the mex
county east, potatoes are yielding from
2OO bushels per acre on dry le1i to 50(
bushels per acre on irrigated land. Ir
Roosevelt county yields ARE exceeding
estimates" and threshing is about com
pleted. In parts OF Sheridan and Daniels
rust, wet weather, and frosts have done
some damage. although Yields will aver
age high.
Central Montana counties and the
mountain valleys in the southern part OF
the state have probably seen the greatest
improvement In prospects in recent
weeks. Grain which was given little
chance for maturing a month ago. is now
being threshed with good results. In
southern areas there has been some loss
due to spelling Of grain in the shock
some damage. although yields will aver
grade due to smut.
West Of the mountains which area
ore the brunt OF the unfavorable
weather Of August. the effects OF the ex-
ccssive moisture Is still felt. Harvesting
and thrc6hing during the past month
has proceeded very slowly and under the
greatest difficulties. Some wheat has
sprouted in the shock. and much has
been threshed with too much moisture
However, potatoes are being harvested
and yields are good.
All In all. the 1927 harvest scene ir
Montana is q pleasing picture, the more
pleasing because farmers are preparing
soundly, and wisely for e year-in-
creasing numbers are turning to pure
seed OF adapted varieties, more winter
wheat has been treated with so per cent
copper carbonate to reduce smut losses
and the acreage Of summer fallowed lanc
Is greater than ever.

Jay q. Diamond, Federal Agriculture
Statistician. Finds This Due to Favor
able Season ON Ranges; Marketing
Delayed by Good Feeding Conditions
Montana cattle and sheep are going
into the autumn In much better h a
average shape, while ranges rs a re-
suit OF a season Of very favorable
moisture are generally reported In ex-
cellent condition, according to Jay g..
Diamond, federal agricultural statis-
tician. Cattle and sheepmen have in
all sections of the state put up a large
hay crop which not only insures an
ample supply for normal winter re-
quIrements but In many cases has en-
abled stockmen to restore reserve sup
plies. according to MIR. Diamonds sum-
mary.
Movement of stock from summer ranges
has been somewhat delayed by a late
season for curing food and market move
ment has also reflected to some extent
this situation. 1t Is expected that In
view of the heavy 1925 fall markettngs
that were brought about by short food
conditions. there will be some general
tendency to replace numbers that were
depleted a year ago which Will operate
to curtail the fall market movement this
year. Reports from stockmen a month
ago indicated a much lighter shipment
OF both cattle n sheep.
Considerable local demand for stock
cattle is indicated by reports which also
note some scarcity Of desirable stock
Prices also reflect this situation being
the highest of the postwar period. This
condition with the favorable summer and
good hay crops has brought considerable
encouragement to the beef cattle grower
Sheepmen, while experiencing an un-
favorable lambing season last spring and
receiving q slightly lower average price
lCr 1927 o compared with 1925. have
had a summer Of good green o and
have put up a big hay crop. Lamb prices
at the beginning of the season have been
only slightly under the levels OF q year
g and there has been a better local
demand for breeding stock. To some ex-
tent reports indicate hat sheepmen will
hold back eve lambs this fall, especially
In districts where 1926 drought forced
heavy marketings last year.
Reported condition of ranges on Sep
tember was $50 per cent Of a normal
the same as a month ago and com
pairing with SO per cent a year ago. and
90 per cent two years ago. Cattle re-
ported at ITO per cent OF a normal con-
dition compared with SO per cent report
ed a year ago and 102 per cent reported

INTEREST,"
FRUIT GROWING.
a(From Montana State College,

-~HILE Fergus county farmers will
\x/ raise approximately q million
wv bushels more wheat this year
than last, ell attention Is not
being centered upon wheat production
Farmers are thinking about their places
as homes as well as a place to make
money. Various fruits. berries n rms
mental trees and shrubs, growing things
which have been associated with q con-
tented and prosperous farm life from
the earliest times, are receiving the at
tention of the farm folks Of Fergus
county.
Dan Noble, county extension agent,
refers to this phase of farming In Fergus
county in a recent statement.
Large. red apples. compass cherries,
strawberries, accompanied by protecting
shelter belts, are some Of the factors
making Fergus county farm development
a reality and the Fergus county farm. a
more satisfying place to live.
Mr.. and Mrs. O. j. Romunstad. OF Fer
gus, old-time residents OF that section,
who have orchards loaded down with
fruit this year, state that there has been
only one year since they planted their
orchard that their fruit crop has been q
failure. Mr.. n Mrs. Thee Hoagland
Of the Deerfield community. while they
live in a sheltered, protected place. year
after year, have furnished an abundance
Of fruit for local consumption.
Even in the higher and less protected
portions OF the county there are exam
Piles of successful fruit production for
home use. Ray and Herbert Haight and
Fred Hininger Of Suffolk are growing
fruits. berries, shrubs and trees with
marked success.
In all cases the growers agree that q
shelter belt is necessary to protect the
less-hardy shrubs and trees and they
are finding hi the recommendations
for growing shelter belts made by the
government experiment station at Man.
dan. N. D., are applicable to conditions
in Fergus county.
In addition to providing protection for
other crops the shelter belt itself is
recognized as a thing OF beauty and
value. Ed Mack of L~ewistown, who has
a three-year-old shelter belt on his place,
states that his little group Of trees not
of his farm but has contributed mate
rally to its cash value as we'll. Joe King,
the former owner of the Mack farm, who
planted the trees, stated hat. the shell
ter belt would add at least 8 5000 to the
value of the farm, and Mr.. Mack agrees
that this appraisal is none too high.
With the increased interest In the
growing of trees and shrubs and the in
creastng evidence that such paintings
are successful, this subject promises tc
receive much consideration at the agrf-
cultural economic conference to be hello
at Lewistown this winter.
