Hope was born again, but then came
the sad realization to Keller that he
had no funds with which to buy the

Rough Handling Causes
Heavy Losses of Swine

The hog is subjected to Its first
danger Of bruising when being loaded
out OF the feeding pen at the farm
previous to being taken to market.
Very often the pigs have not been out
of the fattening pen for months, ana
unless strict precantion Is exercised
In loading out OF the pen difiiculties
will occur. Where tie shipper loses
his temper and the pigs are beaten
and hammered the result Is that they
are heated up and often bruised be-
fore they leave the station. Bruises
that occur before shipment are the
most serious because sufficient time
elapses before slaughter to allow such
bruises to tester, thus damaging a
portion Of the surrounding tissue In
addition to the bruised spot.

ISSUES WARNING AGAINST
FRAUDULENT BROKERS

DETROIT, June ga warning
against fraudulent brokers and pro-
moters who are offering stock in
foreign Ford motor companies was
issued today by the Better Business
Bureau of Detroit in conjunction with
the National Better Business Bureau
and affiliated offices throughout the
United States and Canada,
Relying on the goodwill and integrity
of the Ford name, thousands of per-
sons throughout the country have pur-
chased stocks which either turned out
TO be spurious or were not delivered
at all, the warning said, There is no
way of estimating the financial loss
involved
There are number of fraudulent
concerns in various parts of the coun-
try that represent themselves as brok-
erage houses and that offer stocks in
various foreign Ford companies the
statement from the Better Business
Bureau said
Several of these companies sell on
tive partial payment plan. They offer
stock for stipulated down payment and
a liked sum per month. Before the
final payment becomes due and be-
fore the stock is delivered to the pur-
chaser the company goes out of BUSH
ness and its officers disappear only
to begin operations at another loca-
ton and under another name.
Stocks of the Ford Motor Company
of England Ltd, and the Ford Motor
Company of France are listed on the
New York curb market and the prices
at which they are currently selling are
printed in the financial pages of the
newspapers. Nevertheless many per-
sons are being led by INSCRIPTIONS
brokers to pay far in excess of the
market prices.
THE majority of stock brokers, OF
course, are honest. Our warning is di
rected solely against the fraudulent
concerns that carry on their Fleeing
of the public under the guise Of repu-
table concerns. Anyone contemplating
the purchase of stocks should first con-
suit his local Better Business Bureau.

Good Hay Great Aid
To Milk Production

BOHEMIAN, June 23.-"Without good
hay profits from dairy cows are likely
to be small" says j. O. Tretsven, ex-
tension dairy specialist in discussing
the value of good hay as a means of
saving grain for the Montana dairy
farmer. Then he goes on TO say that
good hay is one of the most important
parts of the dairy cows ration and that
the method of putting up the hay has
a great deal to do with its value.
Among the important factors in get
ting good quality hay, proper time OF
cutting and curing are most vital Mr.
Tretsven believes Improper handling
causes the loss of much value in alfal-
ia hay. Experiments have shown that
alfalfa cut and then exposed to three
rains aggregating 18 inches lost 60 per
cent of its protein, al per cent OF the
nitrogen, 1873 of the fat and 81 per
cent of the total dry matter.
Proper time of cutting saves the
leaves and alfalfa leaves have been
found to have nine times as much pro-
tein as the stems II cut in early bloom
it is IS to 40 per cent leaves while if
cut when in late bloom it is only 20
to 80 per cent leaves.
In his pointers on cutting and cur
ing hay, Mr.. Tretsven advises the
farmer to rake and cock the hay as
soon as it has wilted and get it stacked
or in the barn before possible rain can
damage it. Equipment and labor should
be provided if possible to do the hay
ing without delay II the job is going
to be long he believes some of the hay
should be cut even earlier than sug-
gested
Suggested time of cutting various
hays in Montana are as follows: alfal-
ia, when blossoms first appear; white
sweet clover shortly before blossoms

Daddy Still Pondering
About Buying That Baby

This little miss was quite young, as
may be seen from this true story.
Neighbor friends had a new baby in
which she was keenly interested. She
ran in to see it as often as she could
and she kept telling the fond parents
that she wanted one, too.
One day she came home in a state
Of high excitement.
Mamma" she called, 'have you got
a dollar?"
"No, my dear" her mother said II
haven't got dollar. What do you
want dollar for?'
But the child would not tell, al
though she kept insisting that she
wanted a dollar very badly.
''Then you'll have to ask your dad
dy," said her mother.
But daddy ins. sted on knowing all
about it and finally the story came
out.
Il told EN-" said the child breath
lessly, that l wanted little baby
just like theirs and they told me there
was a place up street where l could
get one for dollar down an dollar
a week. Now come along with me
quick. daddy, an let's get one. And
you know it's just wonderful. If you
pay your dollar down and then don't
pay your dollar a week they won't
take your baby away from you be-
cause they're glad to get rid of it."
Daddy is now trying to think of a
good comeback for his neighbor
friends.-Springfield Republican.

OLD CUSTOM SEEN
IN PLIGHTED VOWS
Most of Them Handed DolUn
Through Centuries.

OF all the strange relics Of thought,
primitive fancies and beliefs SO sur
prisingly a part Of civilized life, the
marriage customs Of different races are
perhaps the most fascinating. No one
ever stops to think Of the meaning Of
the many practices so obviously
part of the modern marriage cere-
mony, yet each has story of its own
which stretches back through the CEN
turtles. Each little custom that the
bride observes links her to the ira
ditions of the dim and dusty past, and
although they have long been recog-
nized as mere superstition, no bride
would ignore them for the world.
The marriage rite, emerging from
the shadows of prehistory, Is one of
the oldest of human institutions. Ger
tain writer's of authority believe that
men and women originally had no
higher marriage sense than the ami
mails while other writer's of promi-
nence believe that, although there was
a time when the modern ceremony
was not observed, marriage In its
truer sense has existed since the be-
ginning of time. Marriage has passed
through three well-def1ned stages Of
Observation-Disclosures by capture,
marriage by purchase, and marriage
through mutual love. The word we'd
ding, often so casually used, In itself
reveals the old practice of securing a
wife by purchase, for the "wed" was
the money, horses or cattle with which
the bridegroom purchased the bride
from her father. AS a slight compen-
sation to the bridegroom for this
money or goods, the father in turn
presented the couple at marriage with
a "trusse," meaning little bundle.
The "trusse" later gave way to the
trousseau, which In turn had Its orr
gin in the dowry. At first the value
OF the trousseau was an important
factor In winning a husband, and
many girls began making their bridal
fnery at very early age. At one
time 1t was quite the proper thing for
the bridegroom to examine the trous-
seau and decide whether or not 1t was
complete, and 1t Is said that the choice
Of a suitor often depended upon the
worth of the girls outfit.
The hope chest, now relic of other
days, retained because 1t is a pretty
and convenient CUSTOM likewise had
its origin In the oldtime dowry Long
ago the hope chest was very impor-
tant in the life of every girl In most
homes there was a chest set aside for
each daughter, into which bits of
flnery and handmade linens were
placed for "the home Of her hopes"
from which can be seen the origin Of
the name. A widespread superstition
associated with the hope chest Is that
a bit of handwork by the bride-to-be
must be placed On each article con-
tanned therein II happiness is to bless
the home. For this reason many
brides prefer to initial linens them
selves, which is we'll to remember
when making gifts.
