Despite the fact that it is Good Fri

Friday is the only date open for the
debate, since next week Libby will
have its Easter vacation. Since its last

improved considerably Kalispell, how
ever, has already defeated Whitefish.
The Rev FIR. M A. Meagher, S. j.,
will be the judge. He is coming from

Mrs. Lura Dell Gompf, coroner, was
called to Troy the last Of the week
by the finding on Sunday of one, John
Olson, drowned in Callahan creek. Oh
son was last seen about town on March

Ask To Issue
100000 In Gas
Tax Warrants
Would Cost Consumer Not Cent
More for His Gasoline but Means
Millions for Highways.

HELENA, March 81 Especially
Passage of Referendum No. IS at the
special election May 5th will result in
the issuance Of $6,0O0,O00 in gasoline
tax anticipation warrants, and will not
cost the Montana taxpayer one cent in
addition to what he will pay if the ref
erendum fails, is pointed out by Dave
Salyerds secretary Of the Montana
Automobile association, which has as
its aim the protection of the interest
of all Montana motorists, and the de-
velopment of our Montana highway
program
Montana voters, by their approval Nv
1926 of Referendum No. 81, decreed
that all gasoline taxes collected, aside
from industrial refunds, should 60 to
highway construction. Part of the 5
cent gasoline tax, which is continued
in effect until 1941 by H. B. No 80
recently enacted, would be used to pay
the highway construction warrants,
which it is desired to issue at the rate
of 81 100000 a year for the next four
years. The measure provides that the
warrants must all be retired by 1871
from proceeds of the gasoline tax
Should the referendum fail the mot
orist still will be required to pay the
s cent gasoline tax until 1941, or longer
and the states road program will be
delayed beyond four years in COM
pletion and may be dragged along for
the greater portion of the next de-
cade. It will cost as much or more than
if roads are built while construction
expense is low, and will result in Mon
tana losing the $6000,000 now allotted
to her credit in federal aid highway
funds, which are piling up at the rate
of $500 900 a year.
The Montana auto owner will, under
present enactments, pay five cent
gasoline tax whether the measure
fails or carries Mr.. Salyerds said IF
the measure carries he will soon OBJ
tain the benefit of hundreds Of extra
miles Of fine roads. II not, he must
continue to drive his car over rough
dirt and through the mud for long
stretches that could have been i'm
proved and surfaced at no extra cost

INFORMATION RECEIVED
FOR CLEANER LAWNS

Mr. George Hayes OF the high school
biology department, became interested
in troublesome weed that apparently
has spread over into many lawns in
Libby and made study of it in his
classes. He plans to assign an expert
mental plot. to some of the boys and
to find out what they can do toward
eradicating the pest. The following is
letter which Mr. Hayes received from
Bozeman regarding the weed and its
treatment
The weed which you submitted un-
der date of March 18th, was identified
as Mouse-ear Chickweed (Cerastium
vulgatum L. This weed is very
troublesome in lawns and is perennial
in habit.
IF the weed is not too abundant, the
use of top dressing such as well rotted
manure or the commercial fertilizer,
ammonium sulphate, will stimulate the
growth OF the lawn grass and often will
crowd out the chickweed However, If
the weed is abundant it might be adj
visable to spray the patches with iron
sulphate, using two pounds Of iron sui
phate to gallon of water and apply
ing it at the rate of about a gallon Of
solution to square rod. This should
be used as soon as the weed makes
its appearance in the spring and it
may be necessary to repeat the spray
two or more times during the season.
This spray will blacken the lawn grass
but does not kill it Sow white clover
seed in these patches as soon as the
weed is thinned out to some extent

Stage Setting
Work Of School
Art Department
Made Of Inexpensive Material and at
Little Cost-Called Forth Many
Compliments,

A report covering the presentation
by the Libby schools of the operetta,
The Lady of the Terrace will be
! found In the Tamarack columns and
written by Tamarack reporters. How
ever there is another feature of this
pleasing little production that is not
covered by Tamarack reporters and
which we believe will be of interest
to the general public, especially to
those who attended the performance.
Numerous compliments have been
heard regarding the unusually pretty
stage settings and lighting effects. 1t
should be of interest to Libby people
to know that these were entirely the
work Of the school students and their
instructors. The stage settings were the
work OF the art department of the
school under the direction of Miss
Helen Rowe, music and art instructor,
assisted by Miss Laughlin who as
sists In art work. The walls Of the
room in which all Of the operetta was
presented were decorated by students,
with the use of different colored kali
somine The very pretty rose curtains
at the rear OF the stage were originally
just unbleached muslin, but were
dyed by the students to make very
pretty and rich effect The fireplace
was reprinted to harmonic with the
color effects of the room The view
OF the grounds seen back of the stage,
with trees and high stone wall in the
distance, was painted on common gray
building paper by Miss Rowe and
Miss Laughlin. Kalsomines and dry
powdered paints were used in pro-
ducing background that made most
beautiful setting. Some remarked that
they supposed that part Of the seen
cry had been bought but it was wholly
the work Of the art department It
should be gratifying to Libby people
to know that their schools can present
and stage entirely from their own re-
sources such a pleasing little produc-
ton as the operetta of last Friday.
There was another feature that
helped much to make the operetta a
success, and that was the lighting eff
fects. This was in charge of the stage
managers Wilbur Davidson and Peter
Ramlo. Those faithful workers are en-
titled to commentator and recogni-
ton. They did not appear before the
public in the presenting Of the oper-
eta and thus there was no opportunity
for them to receive that expression Of
favor from the audience that spurs
on the actors in production, but their
work was nevertheless Of great i'm
portance and was faithfully per-
formed. Thees young students often
put in hours of labor building and put
ting up equipment needed for school
productions. It Is always necessary to
be as economical as possible in the
school work, so the lighting effects Of
the operetta were produced not by pur-
chasing expensive equipment but by
using tin cans for reflectors, tin
troughs to hold the light globes and
by similar home made devices. The
boys who devote their time and ener-

That Kenwood will have the

generated in the swinging club
head, we're conducted with the
aid of John G. Jordan, noted
Chicago engineer and scientist.
Naturllay we sought to de-
termine the actual speed of the
clubhead as it passed through
the ball. We found it impos-
sible to do so because it goes
so fast. 1t at first appeared
that it's speed would be some
thing like 125 feet per second,
that being the figure that bobs
up through the simple multi
plication of .73 of an inch
times the required teu-thouS-
andths and again times so.
That, however, doesn't give it
it all. Since the ball is re-
silent it became apparent that
for the clubhead to be in con-
tact with it for .73 of an inch
it would necessarily have TO
strike it with tremendous
power. Mr.. Jordan estimated
that about so times the accel-
GRAFTON of speed of a falling
object would be about right,
which would be something like
$500 feet per second, allowing
one-half second for the forward
swing of the club. The action is
bullet-like-more so than we
have thought heretofore.
