Paul Case Lectures
On Healing by Color

Paul Case last night delivered the
first OF a series of six lectures at
the Playhouse, 1914 N st. N. w.
Tonight he will speak on Healing
BY Color and Sound" In this
lecture he will say:
For centuries the forces of color
and sound have been used by stu,
dents of Tarot. In recent times
this ancient knowledge has once
more been brought to light.
Various artistic and commercial
applications of the relation between
the two most important forms OF
Migratory energy, color and sound
have been used. But these merely
touch the fringe of what may be
accomplished by one who knows
how to combine the forces"

SHERIDAN COUNTY
SCHOOL NOTES

Miss Anna Rice recently resigned her
position in the Lincols School, district 80.
Miss Marion Christianson of Divide Coun-
ty, N. d., has been employed to fill the
vacancy Miss Christanson comes well
recommended
Two teachers group meetings have
been arranged, one to be beld in Plenty
wood OH March 3, and one at the Daemar
school on March 5. Miss Luella King,
state rural supervisor, will make her an
nual visit to Sheridan county at that time.
She will lecture and give demonstration
lessons in the teaching of geography.
Every rural teacher is expected to attend
one of these meetings and grade teachers
are cordially invited
A number of districts that have low
valuations and have consequently small
income for the purpose of maintaining
school, will receive their share of the state
equalization fund with the understanding
that they shall have school for nine
months. This will give the children of
these district schools advantages equal to
those given to children in the more we'll

An Indifferent ScarecroW

Certain of the stalwart Democratic
newspapers of the country are not quite
as enthusiastic rs was expected over the
selection of the prize-winning Democratic
slogan: Less of Wall Street-Gile Main
Street a Chance The truth is some of
them have confessed that the possession
of million dollars is not now regarded as
the high crime and misdemeanor it was
in the days when Bryan and other Demo-
across the stage. A very considerable por-
ton of what the entelligentsia style the
''proletariat' Of the country, Instead of
being aroused to indignation over the
millions which Henry Ford has acquired,
seem inclined to pass him and his fiver
With greetag instead of a bomb, and
the intimation that whatever he's got he
has worked for and deserves
IL is also worth noting that while al
times a few Of the belligerently vocferous
grow red in the face over Andy Mellon 5
millions, the mass Of the "proetariat'
seem inclined to think that his ability to
acquire millions for himself has equipped
him as pretty good watch dog for the
people of the country. All in all, it looks
as if the money bogey of the old Demo
cratic campaigning days had become a
rather indifferent scarecrow, and instead
of envying men like Ford and Mellon and
Schwab, who have sweated out their mil
lions, the popular desire runs to the ac.
| quirement of some six cylinder vehicle
which vii enable them Individually to do
likewise. For these various reasons, it's
a fair guess that when the Democrats as
semble to write their own party platform
next June there will be no particularly
obtrusive plank for the sentencing of the
money devil to be hung, drawn and
quartered

Sheridan County vs..
SuFsiy Company Case

Great Fall.-Trial of the widely
followed case of Sheridan county
against the National Surety c0mpa
ny, in which the county is seeking
to recover $l01,865 as the amount
lost when bandits robbed its trea-
sury at Plentywood in 1926, during
the term of federal court which
opens here February 28 loomed as
a possibility Thursday.
Notice was given during the day
that demurrer to the county s
complaint filed by the surety com
pany will be argued before Judge
Charles N. Parry March z. If the
demurrer is overruled. it is anIicl-
pated that sufficient time will re-
main before the close of the trial
term for the filing of an answer and
setting OF the case for hearing. Un-
til an answer is filed by the surety
company, the ground on which II
has declined to pay Sheridan coun-
tv for it's loss will not be known.
The suit was brought, the complaint
says, because the surety company
failed and refused to reimburse the
county pursuant to the terms of a
bond issued to Eng Torstenson, the
county treasurer of Sheridan county
at the time of the robbery.

Wheat Value Increased
by Summer FdIIOwing

Bozeman, Feb. 25.--The protein
content of Montana's 1927 wheat
crop was considerably lower than
the average for the past five years,
according to Clyde Mckee. agrono
mist at Montana State college The
more than $4,000 samples of grain
tested by the laboratories of the
state since the last wheat harvest
gave dn average protein content oil
1921 percent as compared with the
fve-year average of 134l per cent.
Discussing the reasons for varia-
tl0ns in protein content from season
to season, Mr.. Mckee SAYS:
The protein content of what is
influenced chiefly by the amount oi
nitrogen which is available for the
use of the growing crop Therefore,
factors which effect the supply OF
available nitrogen in the soil have a
rather direct influence on the pro-
tein content of the wheat
Excessive rains during the spring
months of 1927 accompanied by
rather cool temperatures not only
washed out of the soil some of the
available nitrogen but retarded the
action of bacteria which aid in ri
trate formation, thus resulting in a
low average protein content for the
state as a whole. However, there
WAS some variation in the protein
content of wheat from the different
counties and even more variation
between farms within any one
county. This suggests that the pro.
tein content may be affected by
other factors than seasonal condi
tions.
For example, the process of sum
mer tillage or fallowing increases the
availability of nitrogen to such al
extent that it is now generally
known thai, under Identical condi
tons, wheat produced after fallow
will contain more protein than wheat
after crop. Likewise, wheat pro.
duced after leguminous crop such
as alfalfa, sweet clover or peas may
show higher average protein con.
tent than wheat on the same kind
Of soil which has not grown le
gume. Furthermore. sell con.
tanning en- abundance of organic
matter usually produces wheat with
a higher protein content than soils
in which The supply of organic OF
vegetable matter is becoming ex
hausted."

Mr.. Sather had occasion to observe
labor conditions in its various forms

climate, but that there are hun
dreds of better places for people
looking for work. The coast is
simply over-crowded with peop't
out of employment, and with pros
poets not looking any better.

Ii would seem that there were
eXtenuatiDg circumstances IN this
case that the Magistrate might have
taken into consideration i fixing
the amount of damages. The old
Ford Car wasn't supposed to be able
to exceed the speed limit under or
dlnary conditions. but it is different
with the new one. Morris evident

young man is a good driver, and

Rubber Monopoly AugurHd
Says Harvey FjTeSione

Jacksonville, Fla. Feb. 29.-Am-

Der supply has gone far Ito break
the British grip" and the appoint
ment of a British committee TO
continue. tighten. modify or do
away with restriction of rubber
production was a great moral vic
tory for America" Harvey S. Fire
stone, tire manufactures, said here
Thursday.
Mr.. FirestOne was here enroute
to Fort Myers. Fla, where Thomas
A. Edison is experimenting with a
vine from which he hopes TO pro-
duce rubber in commercial quanti-
ties.
American efforts to assure an
independent supply have caused
the British to change their attitude
of waring aside protests and reeu-
latine matters to suit themselves,
said Mr.. Firestone. Here in Flor
ida, Mr.. Edison is trying to develop
domestic rubber If anybody can
grow rubber in Florida, il will be
the inventor.
In Liberia, and the Philippines
possibly in Florida-we can grow
all the rubber needed for some time
to come. 1t looks like we have
won the fight against the British
monopoly
Declaring it was plain that Great
Britain was losing control of the
rubber supply. ur. Firestone assert
ed that the British restriction act
was a political and economic mis-
take, as was proved by the fac'
that they produce less than half the
supply now in British possessions.
