essity of decreasing protection and

quate tariff is at least a partial
solution of the perplexing prob
lem which is confronting the farm
ers of Montana and discouraging
them in future agricultural ae-
tivities. Farm relief is now the
most pressing problem before the
country, as it was in 1928, when
Herbert Hoover was inaugeratee

glaring fact in national economy
for more than eight years past
No sound economic solution of the
problem has been affected, al
though numerous uneeonomlc so
lutions and political remedies have
gained widespread publicity ano
adherence. Our president has al
all times since his address of ac-
eeptance of the nomination of the
republican party as candidate
for president of the United States
thoroughly appreciated the dire
necessity of effeetfully meeting
the situation in order to restore
cur government to its solid foun-
dation, and promote success, hap
piness and prosperity to our peo-
pie. After his inauguration, he met
the issue by calling a special ses-
sion of congress, to which he pro
posed the creation of an agency
which would be provided with au-
thority and resources to work out
the problem. In addition to an up
ward tariff revision in favor of ag-
ricultural products, he recommend
ed the creation of federal farm
board, to be composed of men eX-
perienced and eminent in agricul-
tural pursuits to study the ques-
tion and aid in its solution. Al
though his suggestion met with
vigorous opposition,it was finally
accomplished by the enactment OF
a law creating the federal farm
board. Such board has been estab-
lished and is now in operation un-
der the direction of Alexander
Legge, as its chairman, and con-
stitutes the first intelligent action
taken in looking to the solution Of
this great national problem. The
Board is provided with revolving
fund of five hundred million doll
ars, to be used primarily for the
purpose of furnishing organized
capital for nationwide marketing
agencies owned and controlled by
farmers, developed on such scale
that each agricultural industry can
properly manage its own problems.
The solution of the farm problem
by farmer owned enterprises is The
end to be accomplished, and the
orderly production and marketing
of the entire crop is the method
proposed. The Governments func-
ton is to provide the best avail
able leadership and temporary
working capital, while the mach
inery is being perfected. The policy
of cooperative marketing thro-
ughoutthe nation advocated by Al
exander Legge, chairman of the
board, is constructive, and should
prove of greatest advantage in the
solution of the agricultural prob
lem confronting the nation. The
plan is to put agriculture on q
modern basis, and it is by far the
most extensive undertaking cal

my knew where Jimmy lived and then
think of some way of finding out where
it was, provided Sammy did know.
Il know something that you don't
know" barked Chatterer as Sammy Jay
came along.
What do you know that I don't
know!" demanded Sammy sharply.
Il know where my cousin, Jimmy the
Flying Squirrel, has his home" boosted
Chatterer.
"Pooh!'' exclaimed Sammy. Have
you just found that out? I've known
where Jimmy has been living ever since
he moved the last time"
when did you see him last?" de-
manded Chatterer
"Oh, I haven't seen him for some
time" replied Sammy.
Then how do you know he is living
in the same place he VASE" demanded
Chatterer, triumphantly. Il don't be-
lieve you know where he's living at all"
Sammy simply glared at Chatterer.
Then, without word, he turned and
flew away. Now, because the trees were
bare of leaves it was easy for Chat
terer to see Sammy for considerable
distance. He suspected that Sammy
had flown right straight to the tree
in which Jimmy was living. Chatterer
started in the same direction Sammy
had taken. He travelled through the
treetops for the most part. Presently
he caught sight of Sammy high up in
a certain tree, apparently very busy
about something. Chatterer fiattened
himself behind the trunk of the tree
in which he then was, and waited.
After a while Sammy Jay few toward
where he had left Chatterer. He didn't
see Chatterer.
Chatterer hurried straight over to
the tree where Sammy had been so
busy. He climbed that tree and ex-
amined it carefully. On the under side
of dead limb he discovered small
hole His nose told him at once that
in the hollow into which that hole
opened Jimmy the Flying Squirrel was
fast asleep. Chatterer grinned. He had
found out what he had wanted to
know. Then he did most impolite
thing. He went right into Timmy's
home and wakened Jimmy, who was
fast asleep. Then he was sorry, for
Jimmy wakened cross. He wouldn't
listen to anything that Chatterer had
to say. He drove Chatterer out. And
chen he went back and curled up to
sleep.

business anyway.
"Yank Yank the Nuthatch may

So Chatterer hunted up Yank Yank,
and Yank Yank treated him much as
Drummer the Woodpecker had. Then
Chatterer tried bright-eyed Tommy Tit
the Chickadee. Tommy snapped those
little black eyes of his and told Chat
terer just What he thought of him for
trying to find out another's secret. Then
is very little going on in the Green
Forest that Sammy Jay doesn't know
about. There is very little those sharp
eyes Of Sammys miss. But Sammy and
Chatterer are not the best of friends
and Chatterer knew that it would be
OF no use to ask Sammy right out. He

Touring the vast areas of Aus

In this huge and rugged continent
the motorist can travel for miles
and miles without encountering any
towns. All sorts Of conditions. from

SPRINGS GUARD.
PONTIAC MOTOR.
81 Safety Devices Help
Balance to Resist

Sixty-fcur flat little springs about

razor blade. Each Of these little
springs has a temper-it deeply
resents being pushed. And II IL is
pushed, It viii push right back.
And In the resentful pushing back
OF these little springs, is found the
secret OF the device which keeps
the engine Of the Pontiac Big Six
so smooth and free from vibration
throughout its entire range of
speed.
These springs are contained In
groups OF eight within the new
type OF Harmonic Balancer. which
so effectively stabilizes the rotation
OF the Pontiac crankshaft. II is a
unit OF the fan belt pulley at the
front end of the Pontiac engine.
In the compact V-type engine OF
the Oakland Eight the crankshaft
Is so short and heavy that no
torsional vibration period occurs
at any engine speed. But the long
er crankshaft required in any six
cylinder engine sometimes m~anifests

tons. One such impulse could hard

a circular weight suspended from
four pivot pins extending out from
the front Of the fan belt pulley. II
Is suspended by the pressure of

either side OF each pivot pin. The
circular weight and the stiffness Of
the springs are so selected that the
Balancer has a natural reaction
equal and opposite TO any vibration
that might be set up in the crank
shaft. Thus, the slightest uneven
movement of the crankshaft in
stantly IS opposed by the resist
ance OF the Balancer springs which
develop a force exactly equal TO the
degree OF that movement.

OAKLAND HAS
IS HORSEPOWER
Big Locomotive Equal To
Weight OF 165 Cars,
Check Shows

An interesting comparison or the
ration between weight and horse
power Of locomotives and auto
mobiles was revealed recently after
a big new type Nickel Plate loco
motive and an Oakland Eight had
run a mile-a-minute dead heat
over the 16-mile route between
Rocky River and Lorain, Ohio.
The Oakland develops IS horse
power, or one horsepower for each
81 pounds Of car weight. The big
passenger locomotive with its tend
er weighs $1,000 pounds and de-
velops 2,42l horsepower or a ratio
Of one horsepower to each 214
pounds. The locomotive, of course. re-
quires this weight in order to obtain
the traction necessary to pun q
train OF cars. And the factors Of
flexibility and rapid pickup which
mark the performance of the Oak
land as a result OF its high ratio or

Commenting On his trip, Constable
Heathcock spoke CT the prevalence
of cars and trucks on sheep and
cattle stations where motor trans
port is rapidly replacing older and
slower methods o. transportation.
He said that practically all the
wool enroute to the railhead was
being carried by motor truck and
in many miles Of travel he saw
only one horse team hauling wool,
