UNTOST of our American business men are
altogether too staid They work in SOM
berly furnished Offices all day, among heavy
pieces of dark furniture, and wear only dark
brown or dark blue suits. No wonder they like
to step out at night with gay little modern
who wears colorful clothes! Like moths, they
futter toward the bright lights, and this is
particularly true if the business man has dull
colored home, with wife who is also conServa-
tive in her color scheme. If wife fed her hus-
band, figuratively speaking, rainbow
colored ties and gay-colored shirts and socks, he
would imbibe less bootleg liquor. Color is
intoXicant, and man would not seek to escape
the drabness of his money-making career if he
went in for more color sprees.

color as do American men.
Men have surrendered to generations of tai

pany of eight actors played their
opening engagement Wednesday
night at the Liberty Their open
ing number was a three-act COM
edy drama, "The Naughty Bride" I"
The comment of those who at
tended the show was that they
are an exceptionally high class
company and better than usually
play in town of this size. 1t is
understood that they have been
playing on the big time, but have
been forced out of the cities by
the talkies. They are playing a
series of engagement along the
Hi-line and will be in Wolf Point
every Wednesday night for an in
definite period. Owing to the diff
ficulty in getting across the Mis-
souri,, they will be unable to fill
their Friday evening engagement
at Circle and Mrs. Severson has

vile between acts each evening.

RIGID TESTS OF
FARM TRACTORS
PROVE WORTH AT CAPACITY
LOAD IN TRIALS AT
BROCKTON

| The farm tractor cannot be op-
Grated economically unless it is
kept at its optimum load, says H.
E. Murdock, head of the depart
ment of agricultural engineeding
at Montana State College, after
the completion of load tests con-
Quoted at the tractor experiment
al farm at Brockton.
The aim of the tractor farmer
is to get the most done in the
least time and at least expense.
This was the goal of these tractor
tests. The tractors were operated
at considerable less than the man
ufacturer's rating and accurate
records kept of the gas consump-
ton. The load was increased
slightly and another set of rec
ords were made. This procedure
was followed with several makes
and sizes of tractors until each
was pulling it's optimum load, or
the load at which it operated the
most efficiently and economically.
The general truths learned from
the tests are, that regardless of
the make or size of tractor, when
operated at its optimum load, the
gas consumption is practically the
same over the same acreage; and
as the load becomes lighter,-up
to a certain limit,-the gas con-
sumption increases.
A set Of records kept on an Is
horsepower tractor show that this
tractor, pulling enough feet Of
duckfoot to make a load of 18
horsepower, covered 10 acres of
ground with gas consumption of
four gallons. The same tractor
with a duckfoot load of nearly Is
horsepower, used almost seven
gallons of gas for 10 acres. With
a load of duckfoot amounting to
almost IA horsepower the same
tractor used nearly 19 gallons of
gas for 10 acres, showing a saw
ing of nearly Is gallons over the
same acreage between the lighter
load and the optimum load A 25
tractor pulling a rs
load used the same
amount of gas for 10 acres.
These records show that trac-
tors. if kept at their optimum
load, will do seasonal work more
quickly and economically and with
smaller labor outlay.
