Will FIVE The FACTS,
CANADIAN LIQUOR PLAN

HELENA, Mont, Oct 10.-To
tell Montana voters the truth re-
/ garding the Canadian liquor con-
troll system, Will R. Wood of Win
nipeg, Manitoba, is to tour the
state from October 8 until election
day. Dates are being arranged
/ so that he will be heard in all sec
tions of the state.
Mr.. Wood is a former member
of the Manitoba legislature and is
familiar with governmental prob
lens in that province both under
the control system and with liquor
entirely outlawed He is familiar
with the farm situation in Canada
as he has for six years been secre-
tary of the United Farmers of
Manitoba.
Mr.. Wood is recognized as one
of the best authorities in Canada
on the liquor control system there.
He will visit farming communities
centers. He is an able public
speaker and was influential when
he was member of the provincial
parliament of Manitoba.
He will tell of Canada's exper-
fence with wartime prohibition
during 1918 and 1919 and how the
statutes were taken off the books
in first one province and then an
other until practically every pro-
vince is now wet He will speak
of the influence on the govern
ment of the peculiar control sys-
tenn adopted in most of the prov
inces. He will compare drinking
conditions in Canada at present
with those there while the coun-
try was dry, while those in the
United States under prohibition.

Paschke and Sons
Get Record Yield
(Sidney Herald)


Theodore Paschke and sons, Ia
miles south of Culbertson in Rich
land county, got what is perhaps
the record yield of wheat in cas-
tern Montana this year from 3A
acres. They threshed 202 bush
els from this small field which is
81 2-3 bushels per acre. This
may seem an exaggeration Mr..
Paschke said when he told it to
some of his neighbors they SEEM
ed to doubt it, so he secured a
sworn verification from four men
who had helped to do his thresh-
ing and knew it to be a fact with
which he is now armed to satisfy
all doubters.
Paschke and sons had over 300
acres of wheat in all and the aver
age yield was better than 80
bushels per acre and one good
sized field averaged over 40 bush
els per acre. The protein test ran
from 1915 to 1920 with the big
yield wheat testing highest.
Mr.. Paschke was in Sidney
and in conversation
with the writer said that the pro-
tein premium on wheat is putting
the price where it is not so bad
for the farmers with the fine
Yields that have been realized this
season.

BUILDING MOVED
improvements Planned on
BobbS- Merrill Structure.

Many changes will be made to the
old Bobbs-Merill building, moved
from Vermont to E. Michigan ST., to
clear the space for the War Memo
rial Plaza, before the Indiana Uni
versity extension department occu-
pies it next fall, DR.. w. L. Bryan,
president Of the university, has an
nounced.
Second, third and fourth floors Of
the building will be converted into
offices and claSsrooms. The first,
fifth floors and a large garage &C
quired with the building will be
leased.
Rentals from these units together
with money saved from present
rental appropriations are expected
to finance the purchase of the
structure, projected over a period Of
from fifteen to twenty years.
Modern in every respect, the
building readily can be converted to
use as the extension center due to
not having any interior partitions.
Former owners, under terms of the
sale, will do the remodeling.

MODERN FURNITURE
REPLACES ANTIQUES
French Actress Will Use Decora.
tive Articles to Furnish
Country Villa.

PARIS (P.-Modern decorative art
was given puff when Cecile Sorel
announced she would sell off her
eighteenth century art treasures, in
cluding the bed of Du Barry, the Kings
mistress, who helped bring on the
French revolution, and substituted the
newest in French modern furniture.
The Du Barry bed went to America
with Sorel years ago when the actress
toured there 1t is almost as famous
in theatrical legends as Sarah Bern
hardt's coffin.
Sorel, in private life the Countess of
Segur, Is a successor to the stellar po-
sition of the late Bernhardt in the
Coincide Franchise, Frances national
theater. Her treasures include furniture
presented to her by famous people,
art objects and fine old silk hangings.
ALI OF it is to go under the auctioneer's
hammer. Some of it has already gone.
With the proceeds of the sale Sorel
intends to commission the leading furni-
ture designers of France to create a
modern background for her and her
husband, who is Frenchman of quiet
tastes. The Segurs have purchased a
modern villa not far from Malmaison,
