TRACTOR WORKS
CHEAPER UNDER
OPTLMUM LOAD

Bozeman--The farm tractor is op-
Grated most economically when kept
at its optimum load, is the conclusion
drawn from load tests recently con-
Quoted at the state colleges tractor
experimental farm at Brockton.
The general facts learned from the
tests are that regardless of the make
or size of the tractor, when operated
at its optimum load, the gas consump-
ton is practically the same over the
same acreage; and as the load be-
comes lighter, up to certain limit,
the gas consumption increases.
Records kept on an 18-horsepower
tractor showed that this tractor, pull
ing enough feet of duckfoot to make
load of Is horsepower, covered 10
acres Of ground with a gas consump-
ton Of four gallons. The same trac-
tor with duckfoot load of nearly Is
horsepower, used almost seven gal
Ions Of gas for 10 acres. With a load
of duckfoot amounting to almost IA
horsepower the same tractor used
nearly 10 gallons of gas for 10 acres,
showing a saving of nearly Is gal
Ions over the same acreage between
the lighter load and the optimum load.
A % horsepower tractor pulling a
25 horsepower load used the same
amount of gas for 10 acres.

Towers May Ease
Parking Problems

Parking towers that will house ten
to sixty automobiles while occupying
ground space of a two-car garage
are presented as solution to the
parking problem in congested dis
tricts An Ohio inventor and engine
Ell has built such a tower at San
dusky, Ohio, which recently has been
tested for feasibility.
The sample tower, the only one
oullt to date, operates similarly to the
automatic elevator in general use in
apartment houses. 1t contains ten
platforms each of which takes one
car. Two of the platforms are always
at the ground level. When cars have
been driven on them a button is push
ed, the platforms are lifted to the
next level, and two more platforms
move into place.
The platforms move as an endless
belt, carrying the cars to the top and
back again. To take a car from the
tower, button is pressed correspond
ing to the platform on which the car
IS parked. The car moves into place
ready to be driven away.
The tower occupies ground space
of 25 by 10 feet. Demonstrations have
shown, according to the inventor, that
they can be built high enough to ac
comodate go cars. The walls of the
towers are made of reinforced con-
crete.

A NETWORK OF NATIONAL
ROADS

Even if only for defense, an i'm
mense network of national highways
might be worth all they cost in case
Of foreign attack. Good roads would
be the kind of national defense that
is eminently useful in time Of
peace.
With the exception of few miles
under construction, one may travel
along the Pacific coast from Mexico
to Canada On pavement. In estima-
ton of facility Of transport, the value
of such highway to the government
becomes apparent. Then there are
other great highway systems. Prac-
tically all states have hundreds of
miles Of paving. But there is yet no
continuous hard surfaced road across
the continent between the two oceans
and from a defense standpoint such
a road would be immeasurably valu-
able as well as from commercial and
pleasure standpoint. All will well
come the completion of such means
of travel.
In connection with this great net
work of national highways one in this
state naturally thinks of the neces-
sity Of such highway east of the
Rockies running from the extreme
eastern to the western part of Mon
tana, with tributaries from the north
and south. Such a highway system in
this state would bring hundreds of
thousands of tourists each summer to
the Treasure state, just to see the
natural scenery, which has not been
"doctored up" and "man-made" as one
sees in the sunny state of California.
Montana is fast becoming known for
is marvellous scenery, ideal recrea-
tional centers, and the place for the
hunter and fisherman to find an
abundance of wild game and fish.
The day is coming when Montana
will rank among the leading states
as a recreational center. The only
obstacle now is the lack of good high
ways.
Someday there will be no less than
four transcontineutal paved roads
east and west, and no less than five
or six from north to south. Such
formidable network-such brilliant
and beautiful system for the conven-
fence and enjoyment of the people of
the United States and Canada, would
be a national or an international as
set, and would command the admira-
tion of the entire world.
With little cooperative effort be-

Phrase "Stone Age" Not =
Literal in Application

The Stone age is term commonly
used to denote the earliest recognized
stage In the development of human
culture as defined by the materials
used by man for weapons, utensils
etc. The phrase Is somewhat mislead-t
ing, since 1t is probable that primitive
man made use Of wood and other
perishable materials to a far greater.
extent than of stone, and consequently
the stage Is defined by the prevailing
material of the relics, not by that OF
actual implements In common use. Th4,
term "Stone age" represents In no
sense a chronological division of hui,
man progress, but is loose equivalent
for stage of cultural development
varying widely In duration In different
parts Of the world. There are, e. r..
tribes still in the Stone age, while, on
the other hand, some groups had out
grown 1t before the dawn of history.
1t Is also worth noting that soma
tribes commonly classed as belonging
to the Stone age produced objects OF
superior artistic and industrial merit
to those who had advanced to the use
Of metals. The evidence for the ex-
istence of such an age in most parts
of the world Is conclusive, but it Ia
from the prevalence and character Of
the relics in certain parts of Europe
rather than In America that the idea
and term have come into general use.

ficials of the state fair announce this
week that the Queen and her court
of Processes will be abandonded this

That there might be change in
this decision, however, is indicted by
the statement OF William G. Fergu-

tana contest, that in such event the
News would be Immediately notified.
For the past five years the News

ing the Princess for Carbon county.
The Princess sent from here the first

Sonny Boy" and

at Iris Next Week

Continuing their policy of present
ing only the finest talking features
the management of the Iris theatre
announces Monte Blue in "The Grey
hound Limited as the movie thriller
for Friday and Saturday.
The tightening speed and railway
melodrama is the exciting story of
an engineer, his fireman and blonde
waitress with whom the later is in
ffatuated. The attempt to free the
boy from the allurnig lady makes the
story.
Sunday and Monday the Iris theatre
will present Davey Lee. in "Sonny

time that Sonny Boy" is the great
starring vehicle of the lad with whom
AL Jolson made such tremendous
hit-the boy that set the world ablaze
with praise-and everybody knows by
this time that the reports of this pic
ture shows conclusively that Davey
Lee is star-and that the story and
the whole feature "Sonny Boy is a
knock out.
Tuesday and Wednesday May Nc
Avoy appears in "Stolen Kisses" with
a star cast including Claude Gilling-
water, Hallam Colley, Edna Murphy,

May McAvoy as past mistress of light

tween the federal government and the
states; a little broader vision among
local communities; little more reali-
cation that a good road is not COM
pletely good unless it leads as far
as one wants to go, and these things
will come.
Time was when to "get to our coun-
ty seat was mans limit of vehicular
travel. But now all is different. He
wants to skirt the oceans shores,
scale the nations mountains, drive to
forest and plain, to national parks, to
health resorts, to go for business and
pleasure, to haul his crops and pro-
duets at so many miles to the gallon
and so many gallons to the trip.
America needs more good, long roads;
and authorities will work to this end
if the people will make their wants
know in strong enough terms to get
results.

perience gained in their private
money-making.
In some cases wealth might be a
hindrance because OF its association
and the slant on public affairs re-
sulting from it. On the whole, though,
the situation Is reassuring. 1t shows
that men of large earning power are
coming to value opportunity for pub
lie service higher than they value
wealth.
And the public, no longer prescrib-
ing wealth, values such an attitude
in public servants.

WEALTH IN OFFICE

Styles in statesmen change. The
poor man in office, though still hon.
ored, is no longer at a premium. The
premium at present seems TO go rath-
er to the rich man. It is part of
our new respect for wealth-which
is really new, but only seems so after
a period when, because of certain
business abuses, wealth came under
suspicion.
Three members Of President Hoov-
er's cabinet are millionaires. The
foremost Of them, of course, is Sec
rotary Mellon, said to be one of the
half-dozen richest men in America.
Another is Secretary Lamont of
Chicago, chosen for the commerce
portfolio, who has given up. job pay
ing him $150,000 year. Charles
Francis Adams of Massachusetts, sec
rotary of the navy, is a capitalist, in
terested in many big enterprises.
II
Ambassador Morrow is a notable
example of another branch of govern
ment service.
Mr.. Hoover himself might be rated
in the wealthy class. He is credited
with having million dollars before
he was 80 years of age, though he
threw away chance to become a
multimillionaire when he gave up his
mining work for public service dur
ing the war.
In most Of these cases, and in many
others that might be mentioned, it is
evident that the public servants are
qualified for efficient SER
vice in their public jobs by the ex-

MAKING FRIENDS IN BUSINESS

There are men who go through life
with the idea that they need no
friends-that they are better off
without anyone in who to confide.
They are so engrossed with their
own business that they take no time
to make acquaintance. They do not
see friendships. They walk down the
street staring straight ahead or with
their eyes on the ground, paving no
attention to anyone whom they may
pass.
They succeed in their business. not
because of their personality. but in
spite OF it. They do not attract Gus
toners, but rather repel them, their
success is due to their close applica-
alton to their business and their knack
OF buying what people want
4
but uhere comes day in the lives
OF such men when they realize their
folly, when they awaken to the fact
that one of the joys of life is the
friendships that may be formed and
strengthened as time goes by.
When it dawns on this type of men
that they have made mistake. thew
turn to those who should have been
their friends, from friendships. and
lind that it is too late.
After they have passed the meri-
dian and begin to slip backwards
when they should have rich friend
ships stored up, they discover there
is no place for them in friendships
circle.
The mistake of this kind of life
is SO apparent that there is no ex-
cuse for it. The man who thinks he
does not want friends is all out of
tune and he deserves what he gets
when he arrives at the point where
his mistaken viewpoints in life is
realized. Making friends is easy with
some men; with others it is difficult.
but he who wants friends needs only
to be friendly.
Friendly men, like friendly COM
munlties, attract friendly men. No
place is going to advance very far
unless it's people have a spirit of
friendliness, for without sympathe-
tic understanding of each others prob
lens, cooperation, and mutual helpful
ness is impossible.

Scientists Listen to -
Conversation" of An&1

Two scientists OF the University 81
Pittsburgh recently perfected an af
paratus for detecting the sounds "a
underground communication among
ants.
A block Of wood was placed upoa
the diaphragm Of an ordinary tels-.
phone transmitter, which In turn.
was connected through batteries and
amplliers to pair OF earphoncs.
When the termltes crawled over the
block Of wood the transmitter waa
agitated, resulting In sound vibrations
which were clearly heard by the Iis-
teners at the headset.
When the ants became excited over
something or other their soldiers vera
found to hammer their heads vigor-
ously on the wood. This action could
be clearly seen and heard at the
same time.
The investigators found that the
ants could hear sound vibrations In
the air very poorly or not at all, but
were extremely sensitive to vibrations
underground. For this reason 1t was
thought that the head hammering was
a method of communication.
Because Of this sensitivity to sub
stratum vibrations ants are seldom
found to infest the ties of railroads
carrying heavy traffic, or buildings
containing machinery. The vibrations
mean danger to them just as Il one
