ELECTION REPORT
DELAYED BY NYE
Findings And RecOmmen-
datiOns Will Be Given To
Congress In December
EXPECT NO SURPRISE

Not until Congress meets in De-
cember will the country be inform
ed what the special Senate commit
tee on expenditures in in the cleo
tion of Senators in 1880 discovered
in Delaware to be worthy of COM
ment and recommendation. How
ever, the committees evidence, TAX
en- at open sessions, already is pub
lie property, and there is nothing in
the record to justify the thought
that Delaware people are anticipat-
in gany thing in the way of sur
prises in the report to be made to-
wards the end of the year.
Chairman Gerald p. Nye said that
the committee would not make pub
lie its report on Delaware in the re-
cess period, but would incorporate
it in its general and final report
upon the assembling of the next
Congress.
Testimony taken by the commit
tee concerning the contest between
former Senator Thomas f. Bayard,
Democrat, and Senator Daniel o.
Hastings. incumbent Republican,
was interesting chiefly because of
questions and answers relating to
expenditures on behalf of Mr.. Bay
ard. The inquiry of the committee
took in not only the regular cleo
tiOn but also the nominating con-
vontiOns of both parties. In the case
of the Democrats. the committee
sought information concerning the
outlay of funds in the election of
delegates to the convention.
At the last hearing OH Delaware,
Senator Nye. chairman, volunteered
the comment that the expenditures
per delegate vote was excessive. 1t
seems probable that this remark af-
fords a cue to the character of the
report the committee will turn in in
December.

Boys Losing Their
Interest In Baseball

/ Baseball is losing it's hold ON the
/ American boy, according to a SUR
vey made by the Boys Club FEEDER
alton of America which embraces
253 Boys Clubs with a membership
of nearly 250,000. ,s,.
In many communities boys are
abandoning baseball because OF
lack of places to play and because
of cost of equipment. Boys in many
cities, according to the survey, are
playing Indoor baseball" Out-Of-
doors because only one large, soft
ball and one bat and no gloves are
required.
In cities where local citizens have
provided baseball fields aud fur
nished the boys with baseballs, bats
and gloves, regulation baseball is
still as popular as ever.
If owners of the maj0: aud min
or leagues are interested in the
American boys attitude toward base
ball." said c. J. Atkinson. Executive
Director of the Boys Club Fedora
ton, "they should concern them
selves not so much with the boys
lack of interest as with the fact
that they need place to play and
some equipment. For example, used
baseballs cOuIl be turned over to
Bows Clubs with athletic fields"
The survey shows also that Babe
Ruth is the most popular boys hero
in communities where baseball is
played but in those cities where
boys have no place to play baseball.
they regard Colonel Charles Lind
bergh as their hero.
The Boys Club Federation is an
organization which encourages the
establishment of Boys Clubs in
neighborhoods of cities where thele
are the largest number of under
privileged boys.

baby chicks this spring: Too many
people are buying their chicks en-
tirely upon a price basis. How can
they expect to reach the above goal
if they start with a poor foundation
A saving of four cents per chick
at the present time may look like a
4O9S saving in the Investment in
chicks. However, the goal which
the poultryman should have in mind
is good pullets in the fall of the
year and this saving of four cents
may represent very little saving, if
any, in the cost of producing a good
pullct for his laying house.
Good pOultrymen would give con-
sidcrably more for pullets from good
quality chicks than pullets from in
fcriOr chicks.
Furthermore, if the pOultryman
will normally think of the influence
of mortality in increasing the cost
of chicks, he will give serious con-
sideratiOn to the quality of chicks
with which he starts. II would be a
sad mistake for great many of our
communities to resort to less eff
cient hens after SO many efforts
have been made by the County
Agents and the Poultry Extension
Departments of the various states in
trying to build up and improve the
quality. of poultry in the average
community.
Keep your goal in your mind. It is
not a question of more hens, but
more efficient hens for greater pro-
fits in the poultry business. $3.50

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Use a wooden spoon when making
candy. 1t will not scratch the pan
and is easy to handle when the
candy is hot.
Curtains of unbleached muslin
are practical for the bathroom as
they do not look limp or Sleazy
when dampened by steamy air. Also
they may be laundered frequently.
Brighten them up with border or
applique of cOlored checked ging-
ham, cretonne, or plain chamOray.
TO make mint sauce for roast
lamb, mix half cup of water, half
a cup of vinegar, one and half table
spoons sugar, and One-half teaspoon
salt ,and heat to the boiling point.
Remove from the fire, add two ta-
blespOons chopped mint leaves. and
allow the sauce to stand three or
four hours before serving.
In making chicken salad let the
diced chicken stand several hours in
French dressing. This is called
"marinating' it. If you like to make
the most of the chicken flavor, use
chicken fat instead of oil for this
dressing and give it suggestion of
onion flavor by soaking q few slices
of onion in the vinegar before mix
ing with the fat. Use equal parts
of chicken fat and vinegar. Part of
the acid used may be lemon juice if
you prefer.

MONTANA MAN Is
MOVIE PRODUCER
MARIUS ANDERSON OF KALIS-
PELL is MAKING PICTURES IN
EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

Few In Kalispell are aware that
one Of its prominent citizens has
sponsored and financially backed the
making o. a sound and talking pic
ture that took his Gamers man to
the distant lands Of Germany, Den
mark, Norway and Sweden. Such,
however, are the facts revealed re-
Gently by Marius Anderson, who Is
now on his way to New York to meet
Alexander Singelow, = former camera
man for the Fox news reel, and close
q deal for the sale Of the picture.
A year or more ago Alexander SINCE
low, who has had q wide experience
in foreign lands as well as In the Unit
ed States shooting pictures for the
Fox news reel, approached MIR An
derSon to join him In a picture ven-
ture, which he had in mind for q
number Of years. The plan contem-
plated the covering Of important
points and scenic views in Germany
and the Scandinavian countries. Mr.,
Anderson entered into the venture and
gave 1t rather heavy financial backing,
Singelow turned out to be q man
who knew what he wanted and his long
experience with the Fox corporation
taught him how to get 1t by the most
direct route. He covered Germany
Denmark, Norway and Sweden In q re-
markably short time and secured ma
terial for q ten-reel picture that is
said to portray a very effective picture
story Of the countries mentioned.

PHEASANTS ARE KILLED
UNDER LIMITED TRAIN

One reason why the seaso on the
Chinese pheasants In western Montana
is so short was demonstrated by a Mil
waukee railroad train recently, several
miles west of Missoula.
The ~pheasants, naturally unwary
birds and easy prey for alert hunters,
have a habit Of perching on the rails
and between the tracks of the Mil
waukee railroad near DeSchamps spur,
on the western side of Primrose cut,
about five miles from Missoula. They
are not easily frightened and some
times wait until a train is upon them
before moving.
One night recently some of the
p%heasants moved too slowly and a
train caught them. The scattered re-
mains Of six we're found at
the scene OF the carnage. together
with several hundred feathers.

Malthusian Theory Was
Discussed By DR.. Baker

Science has been the chief factor in
proving that the Malthusian theory
that the population would become too
great for the food supply is a fallacy,
was the opinion expressed by DR.. o. E.
Baker to the Farm and Home Week
visitors at Montana State college last
week.
DR.. Baker says the declining birth
rate in the United States will result in
a population between $50, OO0, 900 and
ITO, 000, 900 about the year 1860. Along
with this science has introduced meth
DDS Of production which precludes the
fear Of starvation through lack of sup
ply.
The remarkable increase In produc-
ton has placed new articles on the
market SO rapidly that they are no
longer regarded as luxuries but are
nearer to necessities in view Of the
changes that have taken place, the
economist said. It now costs $4,000 to
raise q child to ID years OF age in a
family where the annual income Is
$500. With three children this would
mean at least $4,000 and this in itself
discourages large families.
The matter Of diet has also under
gone changes In recent years, which In
itself tends to influence agriculture,
DR.. Baker said. The World wal caused
a marked decline in the Consumption
of cereals and at the same time sugar,
milk, pork and fresh vegetables on
sumption increased. Before the war
each person consumed $40 pounds Of
cereal but now 1t Is 80 per cent less.
Meat consumption increased Is per
cent and milk "a per cent.
So many changes significant to agri-
culture makes adjustments necessary,
according to DR.. Baker. It now re-
quires about one-quarter acre to sup
ply cereal for one person while In the
period just preceding the war it took
slightly more than a third Of an acre.
The increased consumption of milk,
pork and vegetables require more land
so that when these products and the
cereals are considered together, it re-
quires only one-twenty-fourth acre
more now to supply one person than
1t did before the war. This forms one
OF the bright spots in the outlook for
the future.

August Nelson of Lewistown suf-

when a car in which he and Mrs.
Nelson and the Rev. and Mrs. John
Rasmussen were driving to Billings,
turned over several times sc miles
east of Lewistown.
The Rev. Mr.. Rasmussen received
two broken ribs and gasheS on the

These plans are based on facts OBJ
tanned through studies by the Bureau

The essentials are to determine the
kinds of game best adapted to each

and the season when hunting may be
permitted without undue disturbance
