Helena.-Eleven counties of the 80
reporting to the state publicity divi-
sion for the week ending June 8 noted
sufficient moisture in form of local
showers to definitely relieve the dry
weather situation and an equal num-
ber reported no moisture or so little
as to be of doubtful benefit. The
week was characterized generally by
warm dry weather the first part Of
the week and scattered showers with
cooler weather and night frosts the
second half.
The driest area of the state is now
made up of the northern border coun-
ties from Hill westward to Glacier
and an irregular area embracing most
of northeastern and east central Mon
tana excluding Sheridan and Dawson
counties. Extreme southwestern Mon
tana and small area in west cen
trail Montana are also very badly in
need of a general soaking rain. Big
Horn county in the south central part
of the state, had .67 inches of rain
fall on May 27 accompanied by hail
in a strip about one and one-half
miles wide.
Spring planted grains especially on
summer fallowed land are standing
up well under drying conditions. Chou
teau county reports spring wheat
showing good growth where rains fell
and holding its own in areas where
moisture is low. The last week saw
material improvement in spring wheat

Tuesday evening. The Medicine Lake
council has heretofore been meeting
in the school houses and at various
houses of the membership in that dis
trict, but on account of the growth of
the membership, the former meeting
places are inadequate. Therefore, it
was necessary to find larger quarters
and Mr.. Anderson volunteered the use
of his barn, which was packed to
overcrowding. Much enthusiasm and
interest is displayed in the southern
part of the county at this time.

Rains Favor Some Sections
In some sections it rained more
than in others. Along the 500 line
in Sheridan county the precipitation
was copious, accompanied with consid-
cradle hail. In and about Plentywood,
it was not so heavy, but still enough
to soak the surface and spruot late
crops. What seems best of all, how
ever, is that the drought seems to
have been broken. Wednesday night
it rained some more and the outlook
for more rain is promising. A couple
of good soaking rains will insure a
bumper crop again this season.
To the east in North and South
Dakota there has been considerable
rain fall. The rains about the state
seem to be general as disclosed by

PLEA MADE FOR
BOOST IN AUTO
LICENSE LEVY
Motorists Would Profit by
Increase in Fee, Say
Good Roads Men.

Indiana motorists are buying
more automobile tires than in many
other states" according to state
ment issued today by the Indiana
Good Roads Association.
Indiana motorists travel proba-
bly, 5,400,000000 miles during the
course of year." the good roads
association declares. Half of this
travel, or 2,700,000 miles, is over In
diana'S rural roads. This tremen-
dous grind naturally necessitateS
excessive expenditures on those
highways not hard-Surfaced.
"But that is not all. Crushed rock
and gravel roads wear out tires
much more rapidly than smooth
pavements, according to experience,
and to proof given by observations
tabulated by Washington State COL
1ege. Motorists frequently report
that their tires last twice as long
on smooth pavements as on gravel
or rough macadam.
In the days gone by, Indiana
was considered to be one of the
good roads states. However, the
spinning tires of the thousands of
automobiles now touring the state
wear out and tear out the gravel
that SO well served horse-d drawn
traffic.
'Since in Indiana, road building
and maintenance is paid for en-
tirely by motor vehicle and gasoline
taxes, and since the cost of made
4uate roads is a direct burden on
the motoring family, money actu-
ally would be saved through the
raising of the motor vehicle license
fee to an average Of $11.50 rather
than to continue the average $3.50
zee now collected.
'"This $5 increase would bring the

VAL LUABLE FOX ESCAPES
Animal Valued at $3.50 Flees from
Farm at Rochester.

ROCHESTER, Ind, Dec. 81
Dwight Green's fox farm here is
short one member today following
the escape of a Blue Alaskan fox
which Green valued at $3.50. He has
offered a reward for it's return.
The animal is somewhat smaller
than an ordinary fox and is of a
dark maltese color. Green is cheered
by the hope that it may return to
its mate as several others that pre-
viously escaped, have done. He
pointed out that a fox born in
captivity has very little endurance
and easily falls prey to dogs.

Year Just Ending Best in
Company'S History,
Officers Say.

More than eleven million dollars
of new business written during 1923
by representatives of the Indian
apolis Life Insurance Company in
Indiana helped bring the company's
total insurance now in force to ap-
proXimately $87,0O0,000
The company, entering it's twenty
fourth year, had its biggest and
most successful year in 1923. Gains
were made all along the line-in-
creased insurance in force, in
creased assets, reserves, and sur
plus.
The company was organized in
Indianapolis in 1905 as a mutual
legal reserve life insurance COM
pany, to furnish it's members with
life and endowment insurance at
as low net cost as was consistent
with safety. It has never varied
from safe, tested lines of under

The company is especially we'll

CHEMISTS FROM
 SWEDEN ARE HERE
Start Research in U. s. Forest
 Soils

Ithaca, \. T., May IS P,-Scien- tifc Investigations that may aid materially in solving many of the complex problems confronting American timber growers are start ing at Cornell university with the arrival of Dr. Lars G. Romel of Sweden, first incumbent of re- search professorship in forest soils established here by the Charles La- throp Pack Forestry Trust.
 Dr. Romell, who has been asso- ciated with the Swedish forest ex- pertinent station, is organizing a three-year program which will cover the chemistry and biology of soils with a view to aiding forestry in choosing the trees and treatment suited to a given soil. His first work will be an investigation of con ditions in New York and neighbor- ing commonwealths.
 Experience has shown," says Dr. Romell, that various types of soils even closely related, may behave quite differently under the same method of treatment A careful study of the natural types of forest soils, their relation to natural forest types, climate and ground, their re- action to different sylvicultural measures in any country, will be 6 valuable and immediate aid te forestry.
