To remove a grass stain from q

washable, use hot water and soap
as in ordinary laundering. You'll
have to rub the stain quite vigor-
ously. If traces of the grass stain
remain, they may be bleached out
with JaVelle water.

SUPPOSE IT WERE YOURS

Suppose you had a piece Of prop
erty upon which you were dependent
for your living, and it was neces-
sary to have other people around to
whom you paid salaries and wages
to help you run the place. What
would you say if some of those peo-
pie persisted in doing things which
kept you on the jump all the time to
keep the place from burning up?
Suppose you heard one of them say,
when asked why he was not more
careful about where he tossed his
cigarette butt, why should 1 care,
it isn't my mill" Frankly now, what
would you say?
After all, isn't that practically
what we reply when we are persis-
tently careless not only with fire
but with other things, too?
There are hundreds of ways in
which we can prevent fires. We can
be careful with matches and with
cigarette butts. The largest single
cause of fires in this country is Gig
arettes. In 1926 fire losses of $780,
100000 were caused by this one
thing alone.
Before you throw away that match
or cigarette be sure it is out. Be
fore you throw away your lunch pa
pers look for the rubbish can.
Do unto others as you would like
others to do unto you. This is one
of the best rules of life ever pre-
sented to man. In your habits, is
it too much to ask you to suppose it

PROFIT IN SHEEP
Is VERY LARGE
MARVEL is THAT MORE ARE NOT IN
THIS FORTUNE MAKING
INDUSTRY

The c%leanest, quickest money max
Ing game in Montana Is the sheep
business. Men who are engaged in 1t,
N who understand the business, are
making fortunes. The wonder of it Is
that every farmer. who has grain stub
BILE or a little grass ON which he can
run a small band of sheep, is not in
the business. In small bands, on farms
where the sheep practically pick up a
living without cost, the profit is over
100 per cent.
Here is the story: Take. for instance,
the prices OF sheep and wool for last
year. The mother eve is worth GA. She
sheared on an average of 10 pounds Of
wool, worth, at 40 cents, 400. She
brought a lamb into the world in the
spring, which sold in the fall for $40, or
a gross production of s14.00 as against
a Sl4 investment. No legitimate bust
ness in the world will show like returns.
The reason more small farmers are not
in the sheep game is because they do not
understand 1t. In recent years large COM
panies have been furnishing sheep to the
farmers who have the pasture and feed,
to go n the sheep business in a small
way. The usual arrangement is that the
company furnishes the farmer with as
many sheep as he can pasture and take
care of, as a side issue, the profits being
equally divided at the end of the year.
A group Of farmers in the same neigh
borhood will participate in this arrange
ment, the company furnishing and pay
ing for the services of an experienced
sheep man to give suggested aid to the
farmers and see that the sheep are prop
erly taken care of. In every instance

ers and the company proiting hand
somely by the undertaking.
The companies behind the successful
undertakings are specialists in sheep.
They take the money Of investors who
know nothing about the sheep and make
1T as profitable as the cash of the Oldest
sheep man in the business. They place
the sheep with farmers who, through
their expert organization, make good
money for the farmer and investor alike
Everybody concerned makes money and
every one concerned is happy. What
could be simpler?
This little story, which is true, is adj
dressed to the individual who has a lit
tie money. anything from $3.50 up. In
bonds, it might earn from 8 to z per
cent. In sheep 1t might make from 25 to
80 per cent. If you would like to inves-
tigate this gilt-edged, bank r~eferenced
opportunity, write to Great Western
Sheep q Wool company of Great Falls,
Montana, a strong organization of ex-
perienced sheep men, and be advised OF
their plan. Your letter does not obli-
gate you in any way, and our reply will
you how, instead of your money
earning a small rate of interest, you can

Montana farmers have a little more
than twice as much grain on hand this
spring as they had IA year ago, accord
Ing TO n report of the state and fed
eral departments of agriculture. There
were ON farms In the state March /,
3l.43S,OOO bushels of grain as COM
pared with 1851. 600 bushels March 1,
1927. In estimating grain stocks on
hand. five important grains are con
sidered: wheat, oats, corn, barley and
rye.
The percentages of the 1927 crops Of
wheat, oats and barley shipped by March
l, 1923, or to be shipped later, are esti-
mated TO be greater than for the year
previous or for the average of 10 previous
years. Percentage of barley shipments
are expected to be about the same as for
the 1926 crop, but greater than the aver
age. The proportion of corn in shipments
is estimated to be about the same as the
average for the past five year. The pro-
portion of the 1927 corn crop tina was
of ~merchantable quality is estimated at
SO per cent compared with So per cent
for the 1926 crop.
1858, 900 Bushels
1t is estimated that 1884, 900 bushels
of the 1927 wheat crop were still on
farms in this state on March /, 1923, as
compared with 9,8f4 900 bushels q year
ago and the 10-year average of $3.50, 900
bushels. The amount on hand March
first represents about % per cent of the
total crop for 1927. Montana still has a
larger proportion of her wheat crop on
hand for sale than any other important
wheat state in the country, as is evil
denced by the fact that only -four other
states have a higher percentage Of their
crops remaining on farms than does
Montana and none of these states ranks
as an important wheat state nor shows
stocks on hand amounting to a million
bushels. About 10 per CEN of the 1927
crop remains on farms in North Dakota
and about IL per cent in Kansas. These
two states both exceeded Montana's to-
tai wheat production last year.
1t is estimated that about 20 per cent
of the 1927 Montana corn crop remained
on farms on March l, 1923, compared
with an average of 10 per cent for the
10-year average from 1918 to 1927. This
percentage is equivalent to 1,577. 900
bushels from the 1927 crop and 513 900
bushels from the 1926 crop. About SO
per cent of the corn crop last year was
of merchantable quality.
Leads other States
Stocks of Montana oats on farms
amount to u, 1853, 900 bushels or 81 per
cent of the total 1927 crop. Last year on
the same date oats stocks were 35 per
cent of the total crop. Montana has a
larger proportion of the 1927 crop on
hand than any other state. About 2.445.-
900 bushels of barley remain on Mon
tana farms. compared with 900, 900 last
year. Thirty per cent of the 1927 rye
crop, or 724.000 bushels. is estimated to
be on hand on Montana farms; this COM
pares with 20 per cent a year ago.

In the Stock Market
lBv Thomson & McKtnnonl

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The best
and most encouraging news this
morning from a market standpoint
is the story in one of the leading
papers telling of a more hopeful
feeling in the oil industry and fore
casting an improvement in earnings
in this first quarter 1t has been
so long since we have had q kind
word anywhere on oil that We are
inclined to grasp at even this fore
cast as the equivalent of a reality.
Here is an industry representing a
vast investment that has gone
through a severe depression, extend
ing over a long period of time. Per-
EapS here we may find the be-
ginning of the next bull stock mar
ket. Today we will all be looking
for the brokers loans figures. We
want to say one word in favor OF
that report even before we know
the figures. and that is that regard
less Of what 1t may show, the market
has been improved. Prices are
down and liquidation has been ex-
tensive. But we wouldn't accept
this improvement or a decrease in
loans, If it comes as a license to
proceed along the former lines. On
the bulges we anticipate temporarily
increased offerings.
