care IN TOURING
| WEST IS URGED
Motorists Warned to Be Sure
of Gas, Oil and Water
Supply En.Route.

Although o transcontinental journey
by automobile can be accomplished with
comparative ease, the motorist must
take greater precautions with the car
In the more sparsely settled sections Of
the West than Is ordinarily the habit In
the thickly populated areas OF the
East.
This statement was issued by the
American Automobile Association by
way Of advice to car owners contemplat-
ing q cross-country run and who are
more familiar with travel In the East
Plenty Of Supplies Urged.
"On first thought" says the national
motoring body. the motorist who has
been in the habit of passing filling sta
lions and repair shops at every turn,
may be dismayed at the idea Of travel
ing scores Of miles without any Of these
familiar roadside adjuncts However,
there Is no cause for worry If ample
precautions are taken with the car,
This should also extend to food sup
plies and clothing for the occupants"
The A. A. A. says that before start
ing into q region that is sparsely set
tied the first thing Is to check gas, oil
and water, as well as tires and car
| fabrication. Such preliminary precau-
tions will assure a safe and comfortable
| journey.
Listing some OF the things that will

| A. A. said:
Check every detail of the car before
starting and don't overcrowd 1t. Obtain
route in advance of journey from an A.
"A. A. motor club and don't depend upon
wayside information.
Start Touring Day Early.
"Start the touring day early, which
| avoids the hours when the highways

time, select routes that escape congested
areas. Arrange in advance for hotel
| reservations
"The question of running out Of gas
| and oil Is q comparatively negligible one
| in the populated areas, but Is serious
problem In some sections Of the West.
| Therefore, more attention should be
given to the car when an area Is
reached where the population Is scat
tered. Upon entering the desert, 1t is
well to have an extra supply Of gas and
oil. as well as water.

"Above all Is the question Of water
and the motorist will do well to be ever
mindful Of this essential.
''If these precautions are taken, the

in the Bible, until by His mighty
Word our wicked hearts have been
changed. But the Lord ponder
eth the hearts," This the Lord is
also doing through His inspired
apostle in the message of Holy
Writ before us, chosen for the
second Sunday in Lent. May God
Himself thereby open the eyes of
our understanding, and let the
light of the gospel shine in our
darkened hearts.
You will find the text for the
following meditation in the first
epistle of st. Paul to the Corin-
thians, chapter one. verses 1925.
Verse IS. For the preaching
of the cross is TO them that perish
foolishness." Only a Christian
knows this statement to be true;
for before his conversion he was
one of those himself who was so.
blind that he considered the
preaching of the cross of Christ
foolishness. The preaching of the
cross is that preaching which is
done especially during the season
of Lent. To them that finally
perish, after God has given them
an opportunity to know Christ,
their Savior, to them Gospel
preaching is foolishness, and
therefore they preach and listen
to anything else under the sun.
But unto us which are saved it
is the power of God" Indeed, we
can testify also to the truth of
that statement. We know that we
are saved. We are just as sure
of heaven as though we had it al
ready. We have experienced the
power of the preaching of the
cross" before, at, and since the
thine of our conversion. Each
every one of us is willing to say
with the apostle: Romans l, is:
For | am not ashamed of the
Gospel of Christ: for it is the
power of God unto salvation to
that believeth." 1t has
changed our hearts; and the more
we hear and read it, the more it
is going to change our hearts in
the future.

Every way of man is right in
his own eyes: but the Lord pond
ereth the hearts" This is a pro-
verb written by the wise Solomon
about 1000 years before the birth
of Christ. 1t is just as true now,
nearly 1000 years after Christ's
birth. This statement helps us to
find the answer to many questions,
for which there seems to be no
satisfactory answer, as for eX-
ample: Why do so many minis
tiers preach worldly wisdom in
stead of the saving Gospel of
Jesus Christ? Why does every
false teacher claim that his teach
ing is that of the Bible? Why is
man so set on choosing his own
way instead of the only way
which will bring him back to God?
These and other questions are
correctly answered by the proverb:
Every way of man is right in his
own eyes" In this blind and per-
verified frame of mind we walk be-
fore our God and approach him

FUTURE OF WHEAT men DEPENDS
UPON USE OF MODERN METHODS

ed out that Sin 1924, a group of
successful tractor wheat farms be-
ing studied by Montana expert
ment station averaged sos acres;
in 1925, the average size Of these
farms had increased to $40 acres,
in 1926, the average was S12 acres,
in 1927, when big scale wheat
farming gained its full impetus, it
jumped to 99S and, in 1928, to
1855 acres. According to present
plans, the group of farms which
averaged 1,045 acres in 1924 will
average more than 1900 acres in
1929. The figures refer to land in
crop and summer fallow.
Cut Man-Power
This means that the farmers
are increasing their wheat produc-
ing facilities per man, largely
through the use Of larger power
units and adapted implements and
equipment. The cost of wheat per
acre, per bushel and per mar is
coming down. Where wheat was
formerly produced at a cost of 10
to II man-hours per acre, it is now
being produced at less than 2 IL
man-hours per acre on some farms
in the state. In Montana it is
necessary to get the maximum
production from man labor and
machine labor. Farmers realize
this and are making every effort
in that direction.
Undoubtedly new methods and
new equipment will be developed
in the future, even at a faster rate
than in the past. If the competi-
ton is to be met, the producer
must be on the alert for the new.
1t is a silent economic struggle,
the efficient will survive and the
inefi cient will be forced out of
the race"

Montana State College, Boze-
man.-The future of the Montana
wheat grower depends entirely on
his ability to adapt his operations
to new methods and the use of
new equipment, M. L. Wilson OF
Montana State college, national
authority on agriculture, told farm
ers here for Farm and Home week.
The worldwide contest in pro-
duction of wheat actually is here,
Mr.. Wilson asserted. He cited in
crease in Canadian production and
preparations for increasing its ex-
ports, similar advances in the
Argentine, the low-cost sheep
wheat combination of Australia,
Russia's plans for resuming large
scale wheat production and the
crop rotation system of large areas
in the United States as factors
against which the Montana farm
er must compete.
Good Wheat, Low Cost
Explaining that he is not arguing
for more and greater machinery,
for bigger farms, for factory farm
ing methods, for an industrialized
rural life, Mr.. Wilson said, "it is
merely a statement of conditions
and a hint of what may be expect
ed in the future. Montana a
produce high quality wheat at low
cost. Farmers here may meet
their competition only by taking
the fullest possible advantage of
those possibilities + x 1t would
appear that it will be necessary
for farmers here to stay about two
jumps ahead in the race, for there
are certain other factors in which
foreign areas have the advantage.
Then, as evidence that the Mont
ana farmer is in the race, he point

lions on the back of an old envel-
ope or letter which he might have
in his pocket. Yet, most of the
borrowers repaid, he said.
When the slump in the horse
market hit the ranchers of the
west, Whitehall was just coming
into existance. Bill was issued a
saloon license and conducted the
business until the state went dry.
In the meantime he acquired more
real property, some bank stock
and other assets. But as ever, he
was frequently called upon by
friends in financial distress.
Sample of Generosity
Occasionally he refused to make
a loan, and his first consideration
was not the borrowers ability to
pay, but his willingness. When he
did so against his better judgment
he was a firm collector. However,
on one occasion he relented and
the story is worth telling.
Here it is:
Bin was a bachelor but not what
was known as a confirmed" one.
In fact at one time he gave
some thought to getting married.
Whether he had spoken to the
lady about it or not we do not
know, but he did conide in M or
two of his friends, and the writer
happened to be one of them.
The next morning a man called
at his shack and wanted to borrow
fifty dollars. You can't pay 1t
back, and you don't intend to-"
Bill told him. But the fellow
pleaded and would not take no for
an answer. At last Bill counted
the money out to him and told
him he would surely collect every
cent of it with interest. Hes no
good, but I'll make him be honest
for once" he told the writer.
The next evening Bill decided he
would talk matters over with his
intended. He rode out to her
home, but she was not there. A
few days later she returned-the
bride of the man to whom Bill
had loaned the fifty dollars.
Bill wrote out a receipt for the
money and mailed it to the sue
cessful sutton as a wedding pres
ent. 81 guess he'll need it now,
and | guess I'm too old to get
married anyway" was his smiling
comment.
Back to Ranching
During recent years, Mr.. End
ersby had been giving more atten-
ton to his ranching activities and
had shipped many cars Of stock to
the east. 1t was while getting a
car ready to ship a load of mules
that tragedy stalked him.
He had a wide acquaintance IN
and North Dakota, but
his friends in and around White
tail and Redstone will miss him
most. He was IS years of age ana
leaves a brother, E. R. Endersby,
now a resident of Hillsboro, Iowa,
his old home. f. r. formerly was
his partner in the ranching bust
ness and moved back to Iowa only
a few years ago.

WHITEHALL CITIZEN FOUND
BADLY FROZEN IN BOX CAR;

daniels Co. Leader

~ CCAt
Stricken with paralysis or a
heart attack which left him alone
and a victim of the severe cold
spell last week, w. E. (Bill) En-
dersby, pioneer rancher, farmer
and business man of Whitehall,
was found in a critical condition
last Thursday evening in a box
car at Whitehall. The lower half
of his body was frozen almost sol
id and though rushed at once to
the Kenmare hospital he died
without regaining consciousness.
The unfortunate man had been
repairing a box car preparatory to
shipping mules to the eastern
markets and missed by his
friends, they made a belated
search for him finding him uncon-
scious and a victim of 30-below
weather.
Knew His Montana
Bill Endersby came to Montana
about 35 years ago and was n
of the first ranchers to settle this
far north of the Missouri. He
chose an ideal location situated be-
tween the present villages of
Whitehall and Redstone. Flowing
spring water from the hills was
piped through his corral and to his
shack" Wooded coulees shelter
ed his small herd of cattle and
horses in winter and there was
plenty of free range in summer
and at a place where he was not
likely o be bothered by 'nesters"
for many years.
Northeastern Montana at that
time was the abode principally Of
a gang of rustlers and two-gun
men. Dutch" Henry and his gang
as well as several lone riders, here
hid away from the law after their
raids. These were just a few of
the obstacles the early rancher
had to contend with. Culbertson
was the frontier town of those
days and the market for the horse
back and blackboard purchasers.
But Bill Endersby had followed
the trail westward from Iowa and
knew something of the ways of
frontier life. The r%ustlers recog
nized him as a square shooter
as we'll as a straight n when the
occasion arose. q w peached
on them and they never bothered
me, but 1 never let n of them
get away with anything if | could
locate him." he told the writer,
during one of his reminiscent
moods.
On one occasion Bill trai1ed a
thief, who had stolen his saddle
and shotgun, for two weeks dur
ing the winter. He tracked him
to Miles City and found him in a
gambling house. A stranger in
that city, but soon recognized as
a real westerner, Bill unceremoni-
ously took his man in town and
they backtrailed it to his White
tail ranch, locating his stolen
goods enroute. His prisoner"
did the ranch chores the rest of
the winter. That was Bills style.
There are many other true tales
o. his e~arly-day experiences, some
of them colored with age, but with
a true background.
Accumulated Wealth
His herd and band of horses
grew and Bill was looked upon as
the unchartered banking house OF
the community. No one will ever
know the true extent of his loans
to friends and early settlers.
When we first knew him back IN
1914 his bookkeeping was a men
tai task, with perhaps a few nota-

Sheep Dies on It's Back.

Persons who are closely associated
with sheep as the rancher on the West
ern plains say that the sheep is the
most Interesting Of the entire animal
kingdom, They have none Of the
friendly qualities that are shown by
other animals and have little Of the
sense of self-protection. They often
fail to show wit enough to seek shell
ter, and it Is not an altogether COM
mon thing to encounter a sheep which
has died on its back from sheer inabil-
ity to roll over. In behalf Of the sheer
it Is explained that this is sometimes
due TO the fact that the presence of the
thick wool on its body interferes with
its efforts to roll over, and this unfor-
tunate condition is also contributed tc
be the fact that the sleeps legs are sc
light that when it has by any accident
lodged on its back, 1t is unable to effect
any change in its balance by the use
of its legs.
