more closely, that one of the bills was
of $500 denomination, and he did re-
member that he saw the date of 1881

it couldn't have been Confederate

still be good currency, Stepp decided to
go back and get the rolls of money, be-

He requested, however, that the exact

Just pure heat rays. To harness these and put

achievement of Petro~Nokol engineers.
Now. at the lowest prices in oil burner
history, the cost of heating homes with oil
isreduced even further below the cost ofheat-
ing with other fuels. And this new low-cost
oil heat is assured for generation at least,
due to the worldwide overwhelming surplus

other fuels pays the whole cost of the oil
burner installation in few years!

MOTOR DEATHS In
MONTANA RAISE
BY 22.7 PER CENT
Oregon Has Highest Death
Rate From Auto
Accidents

Helena, Oct. 17.-AP)-Mon-
tana, by the first of September,
had recorded an increase of 22.73
per cent in number of deaths from
automobile accidents, comparing
the totals for this year and last.
On that date, in 1880, the num-
ber of deaths from this cause was
sc. This year it was 81. On Octo-
ber II, the Great Falls Tribune
had recorded 103 deaths, compared
with 80 on the same date a year
ago.
Records gathered by the Travel
ers Insurance company, show an
increase of about 5 per cent for
the District of Columbia and 80
states from which figures are
available. Only nine of the states
show decreases from the cores
ponding period of last year. These
are Connecticut, Florida, Georgia,
Kansas, Maine, Michigan, New

MOOSE CONVENTION
PLANS INCLUDE A
COOKE ROAD TRIP
To Take Supreme Officers
On Excursion Over
Beartooths

Meeting with the Moose Legion
number 38 Saturday evening,
James M. Cantrell, president of the
State Moose association from Bill
ings, explained to the members of
the Red Lodge group the plans for
the state convention of the lodge
to be held next summer in Bill
ings, and asked their cooperation
in a plan to entertain convention
visitors on a special trip to Red
Lodge and the Beartooth noun
tains.
More than 700 Moose are expect
ed to attend the convention at the
Yellowstone city, which is to take
place in June or July of next year.
1t is hoped that the supreme Off
GERS of the Mooseheart will be pres
ent, and those in charge of the
convention wish to offer them
something unusual in the way of
diversion during their stay.
1t is planned by Legion 38 of the
Moose lodge to conduct an excur-
sion from Billings to Red Lodge,
and if possible, over the new Cooke
road to Yellowstone park. Several
of the supreme officers have nev-
er visited the Yellowstone before.
The convention managers will ex-
tend an invitation to James G. Da-
Wis, U. S. cabinet member, who is
General Dictator of the Moose
lodge, and it is expected that Nr
Davis will be present next summer
at the meeting.
The Legion is now in communi-
cation with convention managers
of Wyoming, Idaho, and Washing
ton, to arrange dates for next
summers meeting that will not
conflict with those of other state
conventions.

NTOW that the World Series is
1N over, the Hot Stove League
can settle down to a hard winters
work of revising records broken by
the tall, wiry young Philadelphia
Athletics pitcher from Homecoming,
Md.-"Lefty" Grove.
The biggest record to go by the
boards this season is Smoky" Joe
Woods percentage record of .S72,
made when he won "a games for
Boston and lost in 1912. Groves
percentage, with 81 wins and 4
losses is 1886. But the cracker-boX
sages will discover many other new
high marks. The tall Marylander is
the first pitcher in history to lead
both leagues in percentages for
three years in succession. His
three year average is 1874, which IS
the highest three year average
ever made in the big leagues. It
took three pitchers to set the 1911
1913 record of 1926.
Grove has won more games in a
season ludu duy I6lI-lldlluGl III
baseball history. Other notable
performances" with which he is
credited include that of striking
out five batters with II pitched
balls in a game between the Ath-
letics and Cleveland, Aug. %, 1928.
He pitched IA clean strikes, foul,
a ball and another strike.
No one would be more fatigued
by such statistics than Robert
Grove. The man who has taken his
place with Young, Alexander,
Walsh, Matthewson, Johnson and
other historic pitchers talks freely
on two subjects-cigars and hunt
ing. Like many other prosperous
young men Grove prides himself on
his connoisseurship of fragrant
Havana cigars; like many of his
colleagues on the diamond he keeps
an arsenal of hunting equipment
and spends the winter tramping
the hill. after game.

Bean production in 1881 is now
indicated at 19,959,000 bushels
compared with 21,907,000 bushels
last year and the five-year average
production of 18,432,000 bushels.
The white potato crop indicates
a 1881 production of 374,751 900
bushels compared with 343,236,0OO
bushels in 1880 and the five-year
average of 380,502,000 bushels.
The forecasted apple production
on Oct l was 222, 100000 bushels,
which is nearly sc per cent larger
than in 1880 and about % per
cent larger than the average of the
preceding five years.
Foreign Wheat Prospects.
Estimates of the 1881 wheat pro-
duction in % foreign countries, re-
porting to-date, total 1886 million
bushels against 1895 million bus
hels produced in the same coun-
tries in 1890 when they represent
ed about 81 per cent of the esti-
mated world wheat crop exclusive
of Russia and China.
The Canadian crop was estimated
in September at 271 million bus
hels compared with 1893 million
bushels in 1880. Early inspections
and tests showed the crop to be
high in both grade and protein
content although inspections dur
ing the months of August and Sep
tember showed a smaller volume
of contract grades than In the
same months in 1880.

U. S. Crop Report
For October 1881

Especial from Dept. of Agriculture)
Crop prospects as a whole i'm
proved slightly during September,
according to the October report of
the United States crop reporting
board. General absence of destruc-
tive frosts, resulting from one of
the warmest Septembers on record
for the country as a whole, was of
benefit to such late crops as beans,
potatoes, peanuts, tobacco, hay and
cotton. In the south, however, it
was too dry for some root crops,
and. in the Great Plains area too
dry for corn and late flax. All
crops combined are now expected
to yield about 10.9 per cent above
the very low average of last year
and only about 90 per cent below
the average of the previous 10
years.
In 1881 a large crop of cotton
and tobacco combines with short
crop of hay, chiefly in the west, a
rather light production of feed
grains and about average crops of
potatoes. Production of wheat,
beans, peanuts and most fruits will
be relatively large.
The corn crop forecasted at q
702,752, 900 bushels is slightly lower
than the September estimate but
nearly 20 per cent larger than the
short crop of 1880. Compared with
the average of the preceding five
years the 1881 crop will be about
81 per cent lower. Deterioration
of the crop occurred during Sep
tember in Minnesota, South Da-
kota, Nebraska and Kansas. Iowa
and Missouri show no change while
prospects in the corn belt east of
the Mississippi improved.
The spring wheat crop on Octo-
ber 1 showed little change COM
pared with the estimates of a
month ago, The crop is now placed
at 109,105,00O bushels compared
with 251 100000 bushels last year
and the 5-year average production
of 274,687, 900 bushels.
The oats crop of 1,173,999, 900
bushels compares with 1,358,000,-
900 bushels in 1890 and the aver
age production for the preceding
five years of 100000 bushels.
The barley crop, estimated at 215,-
$4,000 bushels, is about 35.5 per
cent below the production of 1880
and 1876 per cent below the aver
age of the previous 5 years.
Flaxseed prospects clin d
slightly during September having
been already badly damaged by
high temperatures and drouth the
first half of August. From a con-
dition the lowest on record the
prospect is now indicated at H.
474,000 bushels compared with 21,-
100000 bushels in 1880 and the 5
year average production of TO-
$4,000 bushels.
