FENCED-IN FARM
NOT LUXURY BUT
AN INVESTMENT
Csy EMILY ALICE PATTY

\ good, wcll-kept fence is an in
vcstmcnt, not an expense. 1t is like
putting money in government bonds,
for instance, because il means
safety and sure returns" A fence
IS one of the first things about the
farm that impresscs the visitor.
Fro init he forms an estimate of not
only the farm itself, but of the
owner as well. Good fcnres give
character and distinction to u farm.
They invite respect. The well fenced
farm has a better appearance, n
higher market value; is more produe'
tive, therefore more profitable.
Other advantages are-more stock
may be raised with good fences. es-
peciallv hogs and sheep. More cash
returns is the result of better fer
tllity of the soil. The corn may b"
hogged down, saving time, labor and
expense of harvesting.
Coed fences save time. labor and
expense of caring for pCnned up
animals. They are healthier and
morc contented when not confined,
SO bring moro ana quicker returns.
If fields are subdividcd by tenn
porary fences, animals arc not al
lowed access to whole fields at one
time, eliminating unnecessary waste.
Pastures for horses and COWS should
he subdividcd, especially irrigated
cues, one of which may be growing,
the other being pastured. and the
third irrigated. Good fencing, Of
curse, is necessary for this rota-
tiun.
Another place where good fences
are of value is around bitches gull
lies, washes, cte., as some of this
space may be pastured, especially the
light way along the irrigated
bitches, which are often ovcrgrown
With weeds and are breeding places
for troublesome animals.
A good fence lasts mary times

Jetta Coudal Awarded $40, 900;
Artist Not Subject to
Menial's Obedience

Los Angeles, March l8.-tP)-A SUI
perior court ruling upholding the
right Of Jetta doudal. motion picture
actress, to indulge In temperamental
outbursts at the expense Of the film
producing company which employed
her, was handed down here last night
by Judge Leon Yankwich.
Miss 0oudal sued Pathe Studios.
Inc. for $4,000 claiming that amount
due her for services. The decision,
which held that as an artist" Miss
Goudal was not subject to the same
rules OF obedience as q mental,
awarded her $3O,Oo0.
The suit resulted from the discharge
Of Miss Goudal, then under contract
to the Cecil B. DeMillc productions
which later was absorbed by Pathe,
in September, 1927, because "tempera-
mental outbursts constituted a breach
Of contract by herself"
Motion picture circles today pre-
dicted that the decision would place
an entirely new light on the rela-
tionship of players with their employ
ing producers. It was said that it
might result in the upset Of the whole
contract system and the development
Of an entirely new type of working
agreement between movie employer
and artistic" employe.
The court held that Miss Goudal's
value was not lin her ability to obey
slavishly-for the humblest extra can
do that-but In her ability to inject
the force of her personality. exper-
fence and intelligence into the act

The decision held that artists are

Miss Goudal was being paid salary

tract was broken. Under an option oil

Water mains have been empty since

plant and q few minutes later stopped
the generation of electricity.
Citizens today were getting water
from the few private wells, but it was
feared these would be drained by
night.
The power plant of the Vinton Can

the town. About 20 families living in
the low lands have been removed by
boat. The water was receding slowly

n. P. FLOOD ALARMS
EASED AS ICE GIVES
WAY ALONG STREAMS
Break Here Particularly Reas.
surfing; No Damage Expect
cd: Flyers on Watch

Alarm over the possibility of flood
damage along the line of the North
ern Pacific railroad has been allayed
among operating officials Of the line,
according to word from headquarters
at st. Paul.
To give the Yellowstone and Mis-
souri, personal inspection. in view of
the fear Of flood trouble. T. F. Lowry,
general superintendent at Livingston,
has been over the lines from there to
Mandan. He is now at the latter
place, in his special car, and has OBJ
served the river open up and the
threat of trouble apparently dissipate
here, as 1t has in Montana also.
This feeling Of relief is due to the
ice going out at various points that
always threaten danger from gorges.
More than usual apprehension was
felt this spring because OF the heavy
snowfall In the mountains-especia
in the Montana mountains-and Of
the extreme cold weather. which froze
ice to more than normal depth, as
here.
The Montana situation resulted In
OlG UA1cA AIUcIIupGlUu OI tIdIlIC near
Forsyth. when the Yellowstone over
flowed its banks and spread out three
miles to near the Milwaukee tracks
to the north. The danger stretch,
however, extended from Livingston to
Glendive. A gorge formed beyond the
latter division point, but 1t since has
gone cut.
Bismarck became another point to
excite solicitude, because of the heavy
ice covering the Missouri, but the
road was treasured Sunday by reports
from here Of the breakup of this ice
and the partly open condition of the
river. Although it has not yet begun
to move out, the judgment of N. p
officials is that it will pass out dur
ing the next few weeks without any
particular harm.
Further assurance is felt because
air pilots will keep tab on the stream
and will dynamite any jams that
form, the Northern Pacific announces
This is expected to relieve any inter-
ruption Of the rivers flow and avert
trouble.

today.
Mr.. Melaney, known as the Sing
ing Fireman Of the Northern Pacific

songs other than those Of high class,
and his popularity as a radio artist
probably is manipulated in this coun-
try. He sings many Of the old favor
ties, offers numbers from operas, and
includes new songs that meet the
high standard of his programs. There
IS no jazz IN Melaney's programs. His
voice has contributed much to make

It has been said that Mr.. Melaney
