Auto Service Contracts
Confused With Insurance

every mail brings letter from
some citizen of the state who has
purchased an automobile service
contract, that has either been rep
resented by the agent as a full
coverage automobile insurance pol
icy or else the purchaser has mis-
understood his contract" says
Geo. P. Porter, State Auditor and
Commissioner of Insurance.
MANY of these service contracts
are being sold by representatives
of foreign automobile associations.
These concerns are not insurance
organizations, and, therefore, cam
not be licensed and do not in any
way come under the jurisdiction of
my office. Their contract is pure
ly a service agreement and is not
public liability insurance, nor m
any way similar to an insurance
policy"
''The purchasers of these con-
tracts should read the agreement
and know what they are buying.
Should the agent represent to any
buyer that it is an insurance poll
cy, the agent should be promptly
reported to the Commissioner of
Insurance.
"These service contracts should
not be confused with an insurance
policy which can be secured from
the licensed agent of an authorized
insurance company in your home
town."

DR.. JEKYLL AND MIR
HYDE

In this issue of the Producers
News appears the famous story by
Robert Louis Stevenson, DR.. Jekyll
and Mr.. Hyde-a pSychologica
story of a dual personality-a good
side and a bad side, and how fin
ally the bad side overcome the
good. The story is often alluded
to as it is an old story. Many have
not read it, so we reproduce it. AL
so because the story is well worth
reading.
The Producers News purposes
the running as serials of recogniz-
ed literary work, now considered
almost classic.
If DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde Gre
ates the interest we hope that it
will there will be more of these
stories-if it does not, there will
not.
We are trying this serial as an
experiment. We would be pleased
to have our readers tell us for
publication just how they enjoyed
the story, and whether they would
like other good literature publish
ed in these columns.

PL'NTYWOOD NEEDS
A REST ROOM

If there is one thing that Plen-
tywOOd needs now. above any
other one thing it is ladies'
and children's rest room.
This is one constructive thing
that the PlentywOOd Commercial
Club could give its attention to
prOfitably, both as "a business
investment and a needed con-
venience to the public.
All up-tO-date towns have pro-
vided this convenience, why
should PIentywOOd allow itself
to be behind times in this re-
gard.
Many women from the out
side towns and from the farms
come to PlentywOOd to shop and
transact business and find no
place where they can retire or
take little children to care for
them.
This is such painful incOn.
venience that many do not come
here except when they have TO.
A lady called at the Producers
News office today and inquired.
''What is the matter with Plen.
tywoOd? The other day l was
in town with a baby and other
children, and we tramDed all over
town trying to find a toilet to
take the children to. When shop
ping is over. there is no place
for us to stand except about the
streets-nO place where one can
sit down for a rest or take care
of babies. Many ladies do not
come to town to shop because of
this but stay at home where they
can take care of babies and send

WHEAT MARKETING Meet
NCS ARE Held in SHERIDAN COUNTY

That farmers must have their
wheat tested for both moisture and
protein content and know the mar
ket value before they sell was the
most important point emphasized
at the wheat marketing meetings
held at Reserve and Plentywood
last Friday under the leadership of
E. G. Ferguson, County Extension
Agent.
II. j. Bell, Jr., marketing econ
omist of the Montana Experiment
Station at Bozeman presented the
results of studies of conditions and
practices on the terminal markets.
These studies show that much more
attention has been paid to quality
during the past ten years than be-
fore the World War. Millers make
careful tests of all wheat, and, in
years when good milling grain is
scarce, pay large premiums for the
high quality wheat is sufficient for
the millers' needs, premiums on a
basis of quality are low.
In order to bring a premium on
the market, it is necessary for
wheat to have seven important
characteristics, according to the in
formation obtained by the Expert
ment Station. Premium wheat
must be dry: that is, it must have
no more than Ia per cent of moist
ure. Second, it must be high il
protein content. Third, it mus
have a test weight of 58 pounds
per bushel or over. Fourth, it mus
be free from dockage. Fifth, i
must be free from smut. Sixth, j
must be free from variety mix
lures. Seventh, it must be fre'
from cracked kernels.
There has been a great deal o
difficulty in selling some Montan
wheat at Minneapolis during tn
past season because of the larg
e per cent of cracked kernels. OpeI
: ators of combines sometimes ad
: Just their machines for tough graf

new RURAL STORAGE BILL
NOW IN EFFECT IN STATE

Helena, July 10.-Sponsored by
leading farm organizations, the
Montana farm storage bill, provid
ing for issuance under proper safe
guards of warehouse certificates
for grain stored on farms, is now
in operation by announcement of
the grain division, state depart
ment of agriculture, labor and in
dustry. The measure provides for
negotiable certificates on farm bin
ned wheat after inspection and
sampling and offers credit facili-
ties and the same protection to
lending agencies for grain retained
on the farm as that stored at ter
minal elevators.
AS a result of the measure, it is
predicted by officers of one of the
leading farm organizations that
several hundred thousand more
bushels of wheat from the 1923
crop will be farm stored than has
been customary. Regulations COW
ering activities of the grain divi-
sion in this particular have been
prepared and will be forwarded to
interested parties upon application
The Montana law is similar tc
North Dakota and Nebraska farm
storage bills. 1t provides that up
on application of 25 or more pro
ducers the commissioner of agri
culture shall appoint a grain in
/ spector whose duties shall be Il
report upon the condition of farm
storage plants and to take an av
erage sample of quantity and quail
ity of grain.

concrete or some other material
giving equal protection from ele-
ments. Wooden structures will be
satisfactory when proven to the in
spector that they are weatherproof
to the same degree as public ware
houses.
Provisions for sampling require
that there be cat least five prob
ings at various places in the grain
when the amount of the grain is
from 1000 TO 1,500 bushels. An adj
ditional probing shall be taken of
each additional 800 bushels or less.
The grain probes shall be plunged

sible at places equal distant thru

the various parts is obtained"
After completing sampling, all
warehouse doors are to be locked
and sealed and the sample for
warded to the nearest state labor
atory for testing. Upon return OF
the tests for grade, dockage, If
any, moisture and protein, the state
laboratory shall issue certificates
in duplicate and warehouse certi-
ficates in triplicate, the original

Froid, Mont William Edwin
Butts, age 13 years and Is days,
son of Mrs. Vesta Butt of Balm
vile passed away at his home in
that place on Friday of last week,
cause of death being tuberculosis.
Burial was made in the Bainville

boy but soon fter moving there
his health began to fail, and the
best physicians possible to obtain
could give him no relief; his only
wish wa to return to his old home
in Bainville, which the parents did
few months ago.

SHAKING DOWN"
The BOOTLECCERS
Senator BERTHE Wheeler's Name
Figures in New Money Raising
Racket.

During the week collectors have
approached several bootleggers in
eastern Montana armed with a pc
tition to congress asking for leg
islation in favor of light wines and
beer. They assure the bootleggers
that Senator BERTHE Wheeler is be-
hind the proposition and that he
will present the petition to con-
gress when fifty thousand names
are signed to the document. In
the preliminary talk of the collec-
tors they show stories from the
news columns of the Great Falls
Tribune showing that such peti-
tions have been put in the pool
halls and cigar stores of Great
Falls and that Senator Wheeler
will present them to congress when
the time comes.
Then the inevitable happens. The
collector asks for some money to
"put this thing across" He some
times praises Senator Wheeler in
the process of digging for the
gold'' and frequently tells about
some other bootlegger who has not
come across and hints that said
logger may "Get in wrong with
the prohibition officers" Usually
the bootlegger "kicks in" with a
goodly sum. In Reserve the col
lectors were said to have received
$4,000 and in Scobey $500. AL
they get in return is receipt and
a blue backed petition on which
they are to get their friends names
Many bootleggers in Eastern
Montana today are rubbing theil
eyes and saying to themselves
. thusly: "Why didn't they send tha
petition to us by mail. 1t couldn'
have cost more than 500 to hav,
petitions enough for the stat,
printed. Why this collection ant
where does it CO."
Charley Huebner of Plentywood
who accompanied the official col
lector to Scobey and other nearb,
towns, said today that '"This rae
' ket is a good one. = Mr.. Wheeler j
> doing a great work for humanity
He is a high priced man. l don
believe he is a CRATER. / am gC
ing to carry on the work here al

. An amusing incident of the can
paign was the loss of a notebool
containing the names, addresse

bootleggers whose names are

And so ends the little racket.
