FOSSILS MAY BE
SOUGHT AT DAM
PSYCHOLOGISTS MIGHT SUR
VEY REGION TO BE FLOODED
DURING COMING YEAR

Psychologists seeking to save for
science the fossil remains Of animals
that r0amed Montana millions Of
years ago.. may work next summer
in the area to be flooded by the
Fort Peck dam, says Darwin Har-
bicht, bone hunter" who has done
considerable work under DR.. Barnum
Brown of the American Museum Of
Natural History.
With the completion of the Fort Peck
dam scheduled, probably, in 1888 and
filling Of the great pool to fol-
low, the fossils must be unearthed and
preserved within the next few years,
says Harbicht, who is in the army en-
gineer office at Havre. DR.. Brown, who
has been in wyoming the last summer,
made reconnaissance survey by plane
of an area along He'll creek in north
western Garfield county. Mr.. Har-
bicht investigated the site last year
known to Psychologists as one Of the
most famous fossil beds in the world
DR.. Brown has previously uncovered
finds at Hell creek. Mr.. Harbicht point
ed out. Working there between 1905 and
1907, DR.. Brown and his patty discover
ed the tyrannosaurus rex. It was the
largest flesh eater of an era more than
100000 years ago. It stood 10 feet
high and was Al feet long.

I laid in plenty of flour and everything.
It was well I did for that winter the
snow fell very deep, and the freight
teams were snowbound and could not
get through. There was a flour famine.
Flour was sold by the pound after 60
ing to 500 a sack. There came near
being riot.
Every store was searched and a
committee appointed to deal out all
that was seized according to the size
Of the family, but the storekeeper in the
upper end of town thought that 500
was not enough, and he hid his flour
in haystack. The miners found it
and took it, and would only allow him
what he paid for it. They were on the
verge of hanging him.
II had laid in plenty of flour. There
were many of my old acquaintance liv-

Arguments we're presented to the
Montana supreme court in the Toole
county oil royalties suit of the Marias

or minerals developed on certain Toole
county land. The land had been deed
ed to the Thelens, but was taken over
by the syndicate and developed at a
cost Of $4,000. The company offered
to make a settlement with the holders
OF reserve royalty on basis that would
charge them for part of the costs Of
development.

Lack of Seed Seen
in Sheridan County

The preliminary summary of the
drouth survey being carried on in She
rdan county indicates a shortage Of
oats, barley and other forage crop seed.
There is some good wheat seed in the
hands Of farmers but apparently not
enough to supply needs of next years
planting.
Questionnaires have been sent to IN
farmers in the county in an attempt
to, gather data on the seed and feed
situation. The federal seed stock COM
mittee will ship in the amount needed
to cover the shortage.
It is said by the local extension o.
flee that the government is not going
into the feed business, but will indicate
to farmers where feed may be puF-
chased at the lowest price.

Why Children Need
a Liquid Laxative

The temporary relief children get
from unwise dosing with harsh
cathartics may cause bowel strain,
and even set up irritation in the
kidneys. A properly prepared liquid
laxative brings perfect movement.
There is no discomfort at the time
and no weakness after. You don't
have to give the child "a double
dose" a day or two later.
Can constipation be safely relieved
in children? "YesI' say medical men.
