ELIMINATE ALL COUN-
TY HIGH SCHOOLS
CONVENTION URGES

Livingston, Jan. 15.-Robert C. Eli
ing of Billings was reelected presi-
dent of the Montana School Boards
association at the closing session of
the state convention here. Other of
ficers elected were:
Dominic Spogen of Belt, first vice
president; Hugh Mcclure of Anacon-
da, second vice president; L. E.
Rhodes of Havre, third vice president;
John ]. Baucus of Great Falls, treas
urer; c. H. Asbury of Hardin, execu-
tive secretary. Members of the exc
cutive board, named at the closing
session, were Thomas T. Tutty of
Butte and Fred 7. Parker of Hamil-
ton.
The association went on record as
favOring the elimination of all county
high schools in the state. The school
board members declared in their reso-
luton that educational requirements
of the state have changed since the
establishment of county high schools
and regional or district high schools
have grown to take their places, which
provide high school to many who could
not secure such education if compelled

CHEVROLET PRODUC-
TON DURING 1928
REACHED 100000

Detroit, Jan. 14.-With thousands
of the new Chevrolet skies daily be-
ing placed in the hands of owners, the
Chevrolet Motor Company announced
officially here Saturday that prOduc-
ton for the first ten and a half
months of 1928 equalled 100000
units. This figure, it was said, repre-
scented an increase of 10000 units
over 1927, the best previous year.
Month after month of last year
found Chevrolet shattering all former
production marks. It's all time record
for monthly output occurred in May,
when 140,775 units we're produced.
May stood out in the Chevrolet cal
endar also because it included the
greatest single days output in the
cOmpany's 10 years of history. 7,075
cars and trucks, completely finished,
rolled off Chevrolet assembly lines on
May rs.
Coincident with the announcement
of 1929 production figures, Chevro-
let officials at the New York Automo-
bile Show last week, were viewing
with interest the continued enthusiasm
that the crowds bestowed on the new
skies. Several ranking officials reit-
Grated the statement made a few
weeks ago by w. S. Knudsen, presi-
dent, that 1929 production would equal
at least 100000 units. One of the
salient tributes paid Chevrolet by Wis
iting automobile men at the show in
vOlved the company's remarkable evO-
luton from four cylinder to six cylin-
der production in the short space of a
few weeks. Today all nine of ChevrO-
let's assembly plants are rapidly adj
justing themselves to take care of the
peak schedules.
For the fourth time in as many
years the sales department Of Chew
rolet at this time is sponsoring Its
annual series of nationwide sales
meetings. The first of the series,
which will be extended to include 35
cities, opened yesterday in New York.
Three crews, each composed of five
men, all factory executives, will con-
duct the meetings. 1t is the purpose
of the meetings to enable the Chevro-
let dealer organization, numbering
over 10000 dealers, to hear from the
lips of the company's sales heads the
complete sales program.

took the cash register and the door
and then demolished the fixtures.
Little Shame" Too.
While the wrecking crew was busy
at the first shame, the "Little Shame
was receiving similar treatment. The
Beer Garden" where Tex Barnes was
found in charge, met the same fate.
The "Dove Cot" more pretentious
establishment, appropriately yielded a
couple gallons of wine to the officers
who were obliged to force an entrance
as there was no one in charge at the
time at the place.

Next morning, before the search
warrants could get cold, the officers
made the rounds again and, to their
surprise, found the managers diScour-

to attend a centralized county school.
The association recommended that
county high schools, as such, be dis
continued as rapidly as possible to
the end that district high schools
might function unimpaired.
The principle of the equalization
fund for the aid of needy districts
was also approved by the board mem
bers as having proved to be Of untold
benefit to needy schools. The reso-
luton asked that closer scrutiny be
given the financial affairs of the APP
plicant district and recommended that
such changes be made in the law as
will insure this fund accomplishing
the purpose for which it was designed.
The association will seek to secure
state legislation to make it compul-
sorry upon treasurers of various coun-
ties to transfer interests earned on
moneys belonging to school districts
entitled to such interest. 1t was
pointed out in the debate that interest
on district school funds has previously
been transferred to the general funds
of the counties.
Segregation of the state schools for
the deaf and blind and the feeble
minded was urged by the board mem
bers. In passing the resolution ask

BROCKTON WOMAN DIES
WHEN CAR OVERTURNS

Poplar.-Mrs. Frank Kortan, well
known resident of the Anderson COM
munity north of Brockton, was in
stantly killed Tuesday afternoon of
last week when she attempted to
jump from a skidding car and it tip
ped over on her.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kortan had been in
Brockton on business and were re-
turning home about mid-afternoon.
At point about three miles north
of town their car, light sedan, skid
ded and Mrs. Kortan becoming fright
ened, started to climb out. AS she
opened the door the car wheels came
to stop against the edge of the road
and the car tipped over pinning her
beneath it.
Mr.. KOrtan was unable to extricate
her until help arrived sometime later.
1t is believed that death was almost
instantaneous.
Mrs. Kortan was an elderly woman,
very highly regarded throughout the
community and by acquaintance else
where.

erection of the motorist. In many
many accidents, neglect of the oD-
servance of these unwritten laws IS
the cause of misfortune. 49,,
A few of the conditions which
the driver with good judgment can
recognize as unwritten law are as
follows:
A choppy road full of pot
holes.
Unfamiliarity with the route and
the necessity for finding and read
ing ALL road directions.
Unusually heavy oncoming trathc
and bad cutters.
Single IS" or double IS" curves.
A high road crown and slippery
pavement.
Pedestrians who happen to be
using the road as a pathway.
Farms with house and barn sepa-
rated by road.
An asphalt road bed, rain, poor
tire tread and autumn leaves.
The FOREGOING are only few OF
manv situations which might render
the illegal limit" a hazardous under
taking. In other words, use good
judgment.

CHANGE in FARMS
. DUE, FORD AYERS

Writes in Newly Published Book.
Says Huge Corporations Will Raise
Food Supplies of the Nation or
Groups of Farmers Will Combine.

New York, Jan. "a world in
which no one smokes or discusses pro-
hibitiOn, where farmers no longer
farm and housekeepers no longer cook
and where machines take care of the
drudgery is outlined by Hnry Ford in
his book, "My Philosophy of Indus
try" just published.
"The great problem in the home
today" the Detroit capitalist points
out, is too much drudgery. We shall
soon find way to do much of the
cooking outside and deliver it in a
hot and appetizing condition at meal
time at no greater COST"
The old farm is likewise due for a
big change, according to Mr.. Ford.
Farming needs to be completely
revolutionized," he said. Large cor
porations, whose sole business it will
be to perform the operations of plow-
ing, planting, cultivating and harvest
ing, will supersede the Individual far
mer, or groups of farmers will COM
bine to perform their work in a
wholesale manner. This is the pro-
per way to do it and the only one in
which economic freedom can be won.
Some phrases picked at random
from "My Philosophy of Industry
include:
Machinery is accomplishing in the
world what man has failed to do by
preaching, propaganda or the written
word"
"The man who cannot think is not

FEDERAL OFFICERS
RAID SCOBEY JOINTS
Federal Officers, Assisted by Local
Police Wipe Up Wet Goods Estab-
lishments-Six Arrests Made.

Scobey.-In a series Of raids featur-
ed by a gas attack at one of the al
legged rum shops, six federal officers
and the city's two policemen, Hale
Nelson and Geo. Johnson, made the
business of selling liquor at Scobey a
very hazardous one and at leas item
pOrarily dried up the local places.
Four places were raided simultane-
ously and the officers report a fair
amount of evidence was obtained at
each and as result Tex Barnes, Hen
ry Norby, Mike Ward, Emil Pomar-
leau, Jack Dudley and Lester Flick
were arrested. The latter was soon
released but violation of the federal
liquor laws were charged against the
other defendants.
Seven Gas Shots
1t would seem that the officers Sc
lected for the raids were chosen with
deliberation for the task in hand. For
federal man must now also show
ability to obliterate all signs of illicit
booze business wherever he finds it.
For instance, the genial Ted Winters
was formerly a plumber; J. H. Melvin
was blacksmith; Pat Gould a sharp
shooter; Harry MCGEE was butcher;
George Johnson a carpenter; Otto
Wadell, Hecker and Hale Nelson can
turn their hands to most any useful
trade, and some of the places visited
looked afterwards as though each of
the officers had practiced his individu-
al trade, to the great inconvenience
of the victims.
At the DIRTY Shame" where an in
genious door that would have held off
the Bolivian army failed to respond to
the "Open Seasanme" one of Uncle

so showed little ingenuity and shot
the place full of gas from their guns
which will apparently deliver either
lead or smothering fumes. The occu-
pants, among whom were a few GUS
toners, soon decided that moon was
not as essential as fresh air and the
door was opened.

The exercise of good judgment
in relation to speed is the hall mark
of the careful and able driver. I'm
der no condition should speed be
regulated entirely by the legal
limit. In other words, the driver
should never consider that the max
imum illegal limit" is his minimum
rate of speed.
Under many conditions, the So
called legal limit" is highly danger
ous-often entirely impracticable.
That is because the illegal limit"
is designed in many cases for ideal
driving conditions only. To the
driver of good judgment, anything
tending to interfere with those ideal
conditions necessarily cuts down the
rate of speed.
In cities where there is a speed
law in general, there are also special
subsidiary laws for congested CEN
tiers. These laws are printed with
the traffic regulations which anyone
may obtain.
But, in suburban and country dis
tricts these subsidiary traffic laws
are unwritten. Their recognition
and observance are left to the dis
