BUTTER MAKING
DURING WINTER

Timber of important changes In
the production of dairy products DUR
Ing the period from 1917 to 1925 have
been noted by L. II. Pirtle, dairy mar
ket specialist of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. One OF
these changes of Importance to the
milk producer is the increase in
creamery-butter production of 1919 per
cent during the period. Only IT'S per
cent Of the total milk production If
the United States was used in the
manufacture of creamery butter in
1917, whereas, the amount was In
creased to 1854 per cent in 1925.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that the seasonal trend of
creamery-butter production has varied
during the period. II the year Is di-
vided into two parts, namely the feed
ing season (November to April in
clusive), and the grass season (Nfay
to October. inclusive), it appears that
the trend has been toward an in
creased production of butter during
the winter feeding season. III 1917
the proportion of creamery butter
made In the feeding season was 36.1
per cent and in the grass season 63.9
per cent. In 1925 the production in
the feeding season had increased to
1919 per cent of the total output, leav-
Ing 6O.1 per cent for the grass season.
These figures Indicate that winter
dairying for butter production is in
creasing. There was a sound reason
for this change, says Mr.. prtle In
Minnesota, for example, the average
price OF balanced ration sufficient
to produce pound Of butter in 1917,
was 24.96 cents, and in 1925, 21.6
cents The average price of 90 score
butter In New York in 1917 was 42.7
cents per pound. In 1925 1t was 45.3
cents. The feed cost had decreased
1876 per cent while the price Of butter
increased 81 per cent for these two
years.

incompetence, Indifference,
or Criminal Negligence

The tragedy that brought sorrow
to the whole community has aroused
public opinion for law enforcement
as nothing else could.
If the ordinances of the town and
the laws of the state had been en-
forced the tragedy would not have
occurred.
The town of Plentywood has an
ordinance against children under
Is years of age driving cars or
automobiles, as well as an ordinance
prohibiting the hitchine of sIeds
behind cars or other vehicles both
of which have been flagrantly and
openly violated.
That there is no enforcement to
be had of the Federal or State laws
is selfevident from the fact that the
laws are constantly, openly and
notoriously disreearded and this
condition of affairs has come about
by reason of the indifference, in.
competence or criminal negligence
Of the officers who are charged with
this duty and who have sworn to
uphold and defend the laws of
State and Nation.

In computing the amount of an adjust
ed service certificate, the accrued credit
is multiplied by prepared factor ranging
from 2 545 if application is made at the
age of IL years, to 1889 if application is
made ct the age of IS years. The mini
mum amount for which any adjusted SER
vice certificate may be written has been
calculated to be $l28; the maximum
$3.50. These figures are reached by using
the smallest possible credit in the latter.
The certificate has loan value at the
end of two years after application is
made. This loan value increases each
year for twenty years. at which time the
certificate natures as twenty year en-
dowment insUrance policv. lt carries
many of the virtues of paid up twenty
year endowment insurance policy in that
it allows an increasing loan value after
two years. is payable in cash, if free
from encumbrance, as one lump sum at
the end of twenty years. or is payable in
one sum for the full face value to the
beneficiary in case of death of the vet
eran.
In calculating the amount to be placed
on the face of the certificate deduction
is made of the sixty dollar cash bonus
paid to each veteran at the time he was
discharged from the service. If the
amount in excess of this amount does not
exceed $50 the remainder is paid as one
cash payment.
Application blanks have been distrib-
uted to all Posts of the Legion, veterans
of Foreign Wars, and Disabled American
Veterans, or can be secured by writing
to the Regional Manager of the U. S. Vet
erans' Bureau, Helena, Montana.
Note: Plentywood Post No. So can also
furnish these blanks,

Wolf Point Bridge Project
is Approved By Government

Helena, Nov, Is. Word from
Washington Friday that the bureau
of public roads has approved the
Wolf Point bridge project over the
Missouri river is gratifying to the
Montana Highway commission,
Ralph RAIDER, chief engineer, said
Friday night.
The federal body has approved
the suggestion of the state commits.
sion for sufficient mileage on the
federal road construction aid pro-
gram to make funds available for
the project. Final action will be
taken as soon as the river channel
has been Strengthened. The con-
structon of the bridge has been
authorized by congress.
Should the project be realized it
will be one of the greatest steps in
the development of eastern Montana,
Representative Scott Leavitt inform
ed the federal bureau.
1T will be necessary to approve
two miles of highway to construct
the bridge from the Roosevelt high
way across the river" MIR. RAIDER
said. "The north end of the bridge
would be in Roosevelt county and
the south end in McCone county.
1t is approximately one mile from
the Roosevelt highway, an approved
federal aid project, and about one
half mile across the stream.
The bridge was sought with the
IDEA of constructing a road from
Canada to Terry, via Scobey, Wolf
Point and Circle. The action of
the federal bureau is rather uncom-
mon, as few projects are approved
on other than through highways"
The bridge will cost approximate
ly 100000.

School Girl Meets
With Fatal Accident

One of the saddest TRAGEDIES that
has come tn the attention of the
Herald to narrate is the unlimely
death of Janet Lundquist.
She died Monday morning at the
Memorial hospital, three days after
being run over by a heavy oil truck
on the afternoon of November 25th.
The Lundquist girl, IA years of
age and sophomore in the local high
school, went out on sleieh-ride
party with several of her school
friends. With their sleds they were
hooked onto a car and as they we're
going down the steep bill just west
Of town the car swerved and the
Lundquist girl fell off her sled, fall
ing il the path of the heavy truck
that was coming up from behind.
The brakes we're of little avail and
one wheel passed over her stomach.
The unfortunate girl was rushed
to the hospital and given the best
of medical and nursing attention,
Drs. Campbell and Fgwcelt being
in constant attendance. Several
bones were broken besides other in
ternal injuries and il was hopeless
case from The start.
Funeral rites were observed We'd
nesday at the St. Joseph's church,
with the Rev. FIR. O'Rouke officiating
in the presence of large encourse
of sOrrowiDg friends. Iuterment
was had at the Plentywood ceme-
terry and the remains were laid away
amid a profusion of flowers sucn as
never had been seen before, indica-
tive Of the great esteem of her
friends, schoolmates and all who
knew her.
The people of Plentywood were
inexpressibly shocked and distressed
by this tragic circumstance, and
most deeply moved in their feeling
of compassion to those near and
dear TO her.
The young girl had made her
home with her uncle and aunt,
Dr. and Mrs. R. E. Gustafson, for
some time. The mother, Mrs. E.
W. Lundquist, who has been on
he west coast for several months
in search of health, arrived a few
hours too late to see her daughter
alive. Among the relatives to ar
rive for the funeral were: Bertha
Nlaloy, Seattle; Mr.. and Mrs. John |
Lundquist, Minneapolis; Mr.. and
Mrs. Rube Gustafson, Mr.. and Mrs.
Art Gustafson of BanyilIe; and
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Lundqulst,
Wolf Point. Among the out-of-
town folks to attend the funeral
were: Mrs. Frank Catlin, Poplar;
Henry Delaney, Havre; and George
Tracy, Poplar.

Consistency, A Jewel

practice what he breaches and the
Editor of the Producers News evi-
dentlv does not adhere to this rule,
but rather that he should preach
one thing and practice another.
There WAS lengthy editorial in
last weeks issue anent Christmas
Cards wherein he objected to Church
suppers, Bazaars, Rag sales, Bas
ket socials and the selling of Christ
mas cards by the good ladies of a
church. setting out that he has q
large stock of Christmas cards on
hand that he cannot dispose Of.
He does not say how much of a
stock of suppers, bazaars, rags, OF
baskets he has on hand although
we know he has overworked the
basket socials for some time sc
that he may be provided with his
snpDers, and rags have been con-
spicious by their absence from his
person.
Do yon suppose, kind reader,
that he refers to the fancy work
that the ladies of the various ladies
aids have made and put on sale
every year as rag sales? He has
taken the attitude of "Holier than
thou" and sets himself on high
pedestal and cries with a loud voice
Il thank Gcd | am not as other
men"
Methinks that every church sup
per or bazaar that he has attended,
he has obtained far more than he
paid for. and his absence may have
contributed to larger profit from
the enterprise.
Well, we may be getting away
from what we started out to write
about, that is Consistency, the two

with which we have no quarrel, but
one should be consistent and prac

it depends upon whose OK is gored.
In the same inssue the editor
takes the credit for the appoint
