HOLLYWOOD. Calf. May 10 (N.A.
MAJ They say comedy is to be the
big thing in the Summer and Fall Of
1890.
That being the case, one understands
perfectly the arrival of Pelham Gren-
Vile Wodehouse from England. This
gentle is the highest priced writer Of
nonsense on earth. But 1t is nonsense
with fair.
In the days when he was making the
reputation which now has made him
the "highest-priced writer of short
stories on earth" (the village will sup
ply all sorts of competitors for this
title, for methinkS I have heard this
tag before), P. G. Wodehouse lived in
San Rafael, Calf, on charming little
estate with steep path which led up
from the ocean.
How do I know so much about It? I
once picked wild forget-me-nots on said
estate blissfully not knowing that 1 was
poaching on the preserves of the great.
Just one of those days when the Spring
time spirit made girl forget her back
ground.
Writing laughs for village so full of
wise, cracks as to give the person with
sense of hunor somewhat healthy pain
is no sinecure. Jokes are things to be
whisper in Hollywood. The remark
clever is something to be written on the
secret files and sprung when it will
make the most amount of money.
Will Rogers conversation is said to be
the most jerky of any of the Hollywood
wits. When he feels goof nifty coming
forth, Rogers swallows. hard and substi-
tutes something else. He knows his
Hollywood lads. Jesse James and
Joaquin Murrietta were amateurs COM
pared to them.
Edna Purviance can't keep out of the
headlines. Today they are searching a
ship from the Hawaiian Islands for
suspects supposed to have stolen $4,000
worth of jewels from the famous blond,
who is given credit for once reigning
over Charles Spencer Chaplin's heart.
The jewels were stolen after a party
given by Miss Purviance in the land
where okohoelehoe is served nom
chalantly. If you've ever been to Homo
lulu and if you've ever tasted the
famous "oke" of that land, you need
no further explanation.
If you haven't landed in this end of
the globe, may explain that vodka and
mescal are soft drinks compared to it.

Australia Studied From Air.

Penetration by an airplane into parts
of Australia never before invaded by
man has revealed valuable information
for the Royal Geographic Society. The
theory that the waters of half the con-
tinent drained into the Lake Eyre has
been disapproved. A remarkable forma-
ton of parallel lines of red sand hills,
without signs of life, was discovered
Lake Eyre consists of about 5000 square
miles of dry fiat plain. and the aviators
believe that at no time was it covered
with more than few inches of water.

bled with my kidneys, often up as

of Lhe negc Ford

kSICNIFTCANT TRIBUTE to the value of
ing use by Federal, state and city gov
ernEnents and by large industrial COM
panies which keep careful day-by-day cost
records. In most instances, the Ford has
been chosen only after exhaustive tests
of every factor that contributes to good
performance-speed, power, safety, conn
fort, low cost Of operation and up-keep,
reliability and long life.
Prominent arnong the companies using
the Ford are the Associated Companies
of the Bell System, Armour and Com
T,any, The Borden Company, Continental
Baking Corporation, Firestone Tire and
Rubber Company, General Electric Com
pany, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
pany, Kellogg Company, Knickerbocker
Ice Company, Morton Salt Company,
PiIIsbury Flour Mills Company, The
Proctor and Gamble Company, and
Swift & Company.
Each of these companies uses a large
number of Ford cars and trucks. The
Associated Companies of the Bell System
use more than eight thousand.
Modern business moves at a fast pace
and it needs the Ford. Daily, in count
less ways and places, it helps TO speed
the production and delivery of The
worlds goods and extend the useful SER
vice of men and companies.

unusual accuracy in manufacturing
colors there is a high degree of me-
chanical excellence.
An example of the value built into the
Ford is the use of more han twenty ball
and roller bearings. They are hidden
within the car and you may never see
them. Yet they play an important part
in satisfactory, economical performance.
Their function is similar to the jewels of
a fine watch.
Throughout the Ford chassis, a ball
or roller bearing is used at every place
where it is needed to reduce friction
and wear and give smooth, reliable me-
chanical operation.
AT many points, as on the transmission
counter-shaft, clutch release, fan and
pump shaft, and front drive shaft, these
ball and roller bearings are used where
less costly types of bearings might be-
considered adequate.
Additional instances of the high
quality built into the Ford are the ex-
i%ensive use of steel forgings, fully
enclosed four-wheel brakes, Rustless
Steel, four HoudailIe double-acting n.y.
draulic shock disorders, aluminium pis-
tons, CHROME silicon alloy valves.
1orque-tube drive, three-quarter floating
rear axle, and the Triplex shatter-proof
glass windshield.
The Ford policy has always been to-
use the best possible material for each
part and then, through large produce
ton, give it to the public at low cost

The fourteenth annual Montana
Seed Show which was held at Great
Falls November 18th to 18th was the
most outstanding show of its kind
ever held in the state. Eighteen coun-
ties together with the state Expert
mental Stations had displays of small
grains, corn, potatoes, alfalfa seed
and other field crops on display at
the show. Each county exhibit was
arranged in a booth which carried an
educational display relative to the
crop standardization work that has
been carried on in the different coul
ties. This type of display was re-
sponsible for making the 1880 Seed
Show the outstanding success of all
shows previously held.
Bison Flax Sheridan Feature
The Sheridan County booth was ar
ranged to feature Bison Flax, which
is one of the newest varieties to be
grown in this county. There were
samples on display representing over
six thousand bushels of Bison Flax
which is available for seed for 1881
planting. Together with the Bison
