an hour since Sunday and has taken

score fellow employees who for five
days and nights have labored in an
endless chain OF gentle, willing
hands to keep the spark of life iii

His attention was riveted to the
devoted comrades who through ryth
mical, constant pressure on his
diaphragm hour after hour, and day
after day, have provided him with

PROBE.
is BLOCKED BY
LACK OF FUNDS

WASHINGTON, March 10 B-Ap-
parently the last hope of the Reed
campaign funds committee of OBJ
tanning money for completing it's
inquiry into the Pennsylvania elec.
tion was killed today by refusal OF
Senator Keyes, republican, New
Hampshire, chairman of the commit
tee on audit and control, to sanction
use of the senate emergency fund
The committees request for $1,000
with which to impound the addi
tional. ballot boxes in Pennsylvania,
lowing the secretary to authorize an
expenditure of this amount "to meet
any extraordinary expenses arising
during the recess" Senator Keyes,
however, holds the committee is dead
because of the failure of the senate
to continue it's life through the re-
cess.
While there was no apparent re,
course to the decision of Senator
Keyes, a statement was issued by
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
declaring his belief that the com
mittee could proceed until it COM
pletes its work, and is discharged
"The resolution which authorized
the Reed committee to investigate,
expenditures on the primary cam
raigns,' he said, "did not limit the
authority of the committee as to
time. Tt did not end it's authority
with the termination of the session.
The committee has not completed its
work, has made no final report, has
not been discharged and neither has
the senate undertaken to recall or
| limit it's authority"

BLACK WALNUTS
CAN BE GROWN IN
TREASURE STATE

That black walnuts will grow in
Montana has been proved conclusive
ly by Jim Baker, a project farmer
living a few miles south of Fort
Shaw. Mr.. Baker has been passing
black walnuts around among his
friends all winter, more as souvenirs
than for eating purposes.
The walnuts are the real thing
coming from trees planted nine years
ago on dry land above the ditch.
Each nut is encased in a husk about
two inches in diameter, just like they
grow in the country where nut rails
ing is fashionable, the only differ
ence being that they were produced
in Montana.
The trees on the Baker place are
not large, being about eight feet high
and slow growers, possibly for the
reason of the dry condition Of the
soil in which they grow. Mr.. Baker
believes that if the trees were below
the ditch they would produce nuts
profitably. He took 26 nuts from one
small tree.

At the request of the American

board of health, has appointed DR..
Hazel Dell Bonness as May day
chairman for Montana. Mrs. Sara
Morse, secretary of the Montana

May day, according to DR.. Cogs-
we'll, is celebrated each year under

May day for child health has become
general in the last five years. Last
year emphasis was laid upon the per-
feet child with special reference to
his physical and mental well-being.
This year emphasis will also be on
the spiritual development of the
child, and the message Of May day
will be spread through the channels
of the churches of the country.

heartily endorses the idea Of May
day and all that it implies for the
health and welfare Of our children, y

LOTS OF NEW BUILDINGS.

There was a seasonal slump in the
output of raw materials during the
past two months, but on the other
hand manufacturing production has
been climbing up slightly. It shows
that manufacturing concerns had
been using up their stock on hand.
Untitled orders for manufactured
commodities, principally iron and
steel and building materials, have
showed an increase in the winter
months. According to official sta
tistics the country is doing a tremen-
douS amount of building.
