100000 AMERICANS IN FRANCE
On July Is, 1918, General Peyton G.
March announced in washington that
more than 100000 American troops
were in France and that more than
100000 of them were fit for actual
combat.
On the western front, French troops
continued their "nibbling" tactics at
the German lines and advances were
reported in the Longport- Corey area
and in the Antheuil district southeast
of Montdidier.
Greek forces defeated their Bulgar-
ian opponents again in the Balkan
campaign and advanced across the
Sturma river.
President Wilson was given the
right to take over the telegraph lines
in the United States for the duration
of the war.

Not All on Highways


In thinking of the accident toll
which takes $4,000 American lives an
nually, We are prone to consider j,
only in the light of traffic accidents
and other casualties of sensational
nature.
How wrong this viewpoint is can be
demonstrated by perusal of some in
teresting facts compiled by the Ma
tional Safety Council. They show
that approximately as per cent or
4,35Oo0O of the 9,4O3, 900 accidents re-
ported in 1881, occurred in or about
the home. In other words, the WE'LL
known haven Of security" contrib
uted almost as much to the accident
list as traffic, public places and in
dustry combined. 1t is surprising but
true.
Safety is something about which we
hear great deal of preaching but the
safety council complies the facts.
Here are few worth knowing. They
will make the average person think.
Perhaps their dissemination will make
more persons investigate their own
habits and traits of mind to see if
they cannot do something now to pro-
long their lives in the future:
/. Accidents last year killed 81
600 persons-2,00O less than in
1880; the first reduction since
1922.
2. Motor vehicle deaths num-
bered $500. death rate six times
as high as in 1913.
3. Accidents are second most
important cause of death among
men; heart disease is first.
4. Occupational death rates in
insurance experience declined 81
per cent from 1912 to 1881.
5. Industrial plants have re-
duced employe injury frequency
rates 38 per cent in two years;
severity rates, 10 per cent in two
years.
6. One-siXth of cuts and lacera-
tons resulting from employee &C
cidents become infected.
Z. Twenty-Seven states increased
motor vehicle fatalities from 1880
to 1881. Nevada had the highest
death rate; California second.
8. Commercial vehicles continue
to improve accident experience;
private drivers continue to get
worse.
8. Railway grade crossing acct
dents declined 10 per cent; 80 per
cent from 1928
10. States with drivers license
laws continue better than re-

II. Drowning death rate was
seven per cent higher in 1880 than

1910.

Here is a little tip about meas
uring butter. When measuring a
half cup of butter, fill the cup hall
full of cold water, then put in
enough butter to make the water
come to the level of the top OF
the cup. This provides an accurate
means of measurement and the
butter can be removed from the
cup much more easily.

How Montana Farms
Classify; 400 Grain

Contrary to the general sup
osition that the large bulk of Mon
tana farms are primarily cash
grain farms or stock ranches, the
state-federal crop reporting service
from a compilation of census data
gathered by the government in the
census of 1880 shows that only 40.S
per cent of the total of 47,495 Mon
tana farms are ~cash-grain and 14.6
per cent are stock-ranches. The bal
ance, or 44.6 per cent, derived 40
per cent or more of the 1929 val
ue of their production from sources
other than cash-grain or stock
raising. Of these types of farms
there is a considerable diversity as
between general farms, crop-spe-
cialty farms, fruit farms, truck
farms. animal specially farms,
poultry farms, self-sufficing farms
and abnormal farms, including en-
terprises such as dude ranches, for
est product farms and part-time
farms.
The various types of farms We're
segregated on the basis of principal
source of income, and for each
type classification was determined
on the basis of 40. per cent or more
of the total value of production
coming from one product or group
of products of each type.

This means a reduction in the to-
