In interviewing B. F. Thrailkill.
Chief of the Dairy Division, on this
subject he said,
we have lately been notified
that q great many merchants are
misinforming the public by selling
eggs as Frerh Standards. Shis word
Fresh should not be used 10 SELL

third Grace egg and must be sold
as such. In some instances merch-
ants are displaying Specials, Extras
and Standard eggs at the same
price and letting the consumer take
his choice. Where consumers are
not Informed as to the quality def
initlons of these various tr.ides,
they invariably buy standards, be-
lieving that anythina marked STAN
dard is a superior product
During the last legislative sess-
ion a Truth In advertising law
was passed which states that agri-
culture protucts must be marked
and SOLD " rlsis true grade, Be-
cause of the laxness of Montana
merchants in obeyiDg this law.

ion have been notified to pick up

that the stores of this state con-
form 10 the letter of the law.

been submerged by water. Obser.
vance of these precautions, the
Board concluded, might forestall
ca%tastrophes as bad or worse than
the floods themselves.
Even if you live in an area un.
touched by food, the change OF
seasons alone creates conditions
highly favorable to the outbreak
and spread of destructive fire. 1t
won't be long until the dry season
starts in many states, and home
owners will burn brush and trash
to clean up their properties. The
utmost care must be employed if
this is to be done s~afely-many
a destructive fire has started frcm
a little" burning brush pile that
got beyond control.
Under the best of circumstances,
the chance of fire is always pres
ent-but it can be reduced to a
minimum with forethought care.

spare the time to safeguard our
property from the fire Demon.

The local fire truck has been

CINE can hook up direct, thus no
time will be lost when at the
scene of a fire, in transferring water
from one tank to another. This
will no doubt prove to be a great
benefit since every little delay in
