81 Worth
of Time
for ST.

Time is as valuable to a farmer as
it is to any other man.
Sometimes a farmer thinks he is
saving money to put up with a faulty
machine which takes twice the time
it should to complete a job.
That farmer envies other men who
have more efficient machinery which
releases some of his time which he
may devote to amusements, or to his
family, OF in any other way to make
life more pleasant. 4
There is no s putting in $500
worth of time to do S1.00 worth of
work. That's about the cost of farm
machinery which you buy away from
home and which you get no service.
Farm machinery bought here in
Bozeman, from a BOzeman merchant
is guaranteed to do your work in the
shortest space of time, and do it eff
GENTLY, or your money is refunded.
If you think it is worth while to
spend ten hours beside a machine
which does not work properly, or
which breaks down every so often,
when five hours with a good machine
would be sufficient, you are cheating
yourself.

When the
Farmer
Gets
Real Mad

No mar is expected to know every
thing.
Boxed machinery bought from far
away houses needs assembling.
In three cases out of five, the pur-
shaser in trying to get these machines
to working, gets the bolts mixed, the
parts on wrong, and the machine
forever presents difficulties.
The result is the machine wears
out quickly, or gets into such shape
it will render no service at all.
Light machines bought from far
away houses are not of sufficient
strength to give service for any satis-
factory length of time. When these
light machines are not properly as
sembled, they are rendered useless in
very short order.

When his mother arrived home from

to take his fare. He knew nothing of
what had been said at the meeting.
His reply was that he would give the

Bury Child's Clothing
to Be Rid of "Spirit''

It has taken half q century for
peace officers In the hard-coal fields to
learn what motive inspires those who
bury the clothing Of children. This
practice In the anthracite districts has
mystihed state police, 90 well as OH.
GERS Of the cities, boroughs and town.
ships. Often wild goose chases after
murderers have resulted only in the
discovery of clothing. but with no
body therein. Sometimes the bun
dies have been buried deep and have
been uncovered through the settle
ment Of the. mines or by the caving Of
the sides Of breaches in the workings,
Ever since the collapse Of the 1876
76 strike, which saw the English,
Welsh, Scotch, Irish and German
miners gradually displaced by Slavs,
Poles, Russians, italian and Monte
negrins, who now predominant in the
collieries, these murder scares have
occurred In the hard-coal fields until
now the hurry-up call from some per-
son who tells Of the discovery by
boys Of bundle Of clothing usually
Is discounted by the officers.
Some one last winter took 1t upon
himself to delve into the mystery, and
his inquiry into the practice has re-
vealed that the burial Of children's
clothing Is an overseas custom, used
by the peasantry where youngsters
are subject to commissions. The old
idea that a child is possessed" still
prevails in some families, with the
belief that to bury the entire clothing
outfit of little boy or girl will mean
that the spirit goes along with the
garments and is buried with them.
This discovery adds another quaint
idea to- coal region customs. The
oldest one is that which is followed
in the treatment of hernia. The be-
lief prevails In certain quarters that
hernia can be cured by a tree If the
treatment is followed in the spring. A
tree in the woods is found that shows
signs of the sap starting to flow after
the winter period of inertness.
Its bark Is split and then binding
Is placed across the cash, the bandage
being clothing Of the person who suf-
fers from the hernia. The belief
is that as the new growth bridges the
cut the muscles in the abdomen of
the sufferer grow together and the
rupture is cured.

Defect in Mental Tests

Doctor Binet, the French psycholo-
gist, is called the father of intelli-
gence tests, now so much in vogue in
American schools and colleges. Binet,
after prolonged experiments, is quoted
as having cautioned educators that
tests are never absolute and cannot
be wholly depended upon to give a
pupils true mental rating. Teachers,
he urged in effect, should rely to large
extent on their own judgment, using
intelligence tests not as a crutch but
rather as convenient point Of de-
parture in any effort to help youth
