IN THE INTEREST
OF THE FARMER

Does mass purchasing and dis
tributing of foods work to the ad-
vantage Of the producers of the
nation? Recent statistics indicate
that the farmer reaps a rich har-
vest when large-scale methods are
applied to merchandising.
A survey of 1850 chain groc-
cry stores-representing Is per
cent Of the entire industry
shows that fruit and vegetable
sales came to 1881 per cent Of
total sales in 1888. Applying this
ratio to all chain grocery and
combination stores, it means that
fruit and vegetable sales through
the chains aggregated almost
$3.50, 900, 600.
And this does not take into &C
count the sales of the independent
stores which have banded togeth-
er in large buying groups, and
which operate largely on the
chain-store principle. T e
stores, as we'll as the chains, have
m a d noteworthy in
pushing" the products of the
Big merchandising systems,
chain or independent, are ex-
tremely progressive in developing
better sales and display methods.
aren't satisfied to simply let
products sit on shelves where the
customer may find them if he
.ooks hard enough-they bring
hem out where they cannot help
out meet the ranging eye Of the
buyer. To keep the customer in
on what to buy, they
make wide use Of newspaper ad-
yertising-the best Of all medi-
inns for stimulating sales. I!
The result is lower prices to the
:onsumer-and a wider, more
and more profitable mar
let for the producer.

842 Employed On
Land Projects

Denver Colo, March 10 = More
than 500 men have been taken of
Montana relief rolls and employed
on the three Resettlement Admin.
istration projects in the Treasure
state since January 10, Regional
Director E. A. Starch announced
today. There are now 842 men EN-.
ployed on the Montana RA Projects
he said.
Complete reports from the three
projects managers = the Phillips
County. Lower Yellowstone and
MusSelshell land conservation pro-
jects according to Starch, showed
that 626 men had been employed
since January 10.
The Phillips County project, the
initial project in Montana, now is
employing 607 men compared with
IFS in January.
When better climatic conditions
prevail the work will progress much
faster" Starch said.
There are 100 men employed ON
the Lower Yellowstone project.
and 1875 are working Musselshell,
the regional director said.
In Region Ten, which is com
posed of Montana, Colorado, and
Wyoming, 1877 men are employed
on Resettlement Administration
projects. This figure represents an
increased employment since Jan
uary of 1000 men in the region, ac-
cording to Starch.
Those employed on the projects
are recruited from residents of the
project and relief rolls. The
work consists of improving the land,
moving fences, constructing dams
for stocS-water reservoirs, and pre-
pairing low-grade dry farming land
for conversion into grazing areas
for whice it is better adapted.
1t is anticipated that all three
projects will be completed by July
j, 1886.

Engineers Report
Findings at Dam
(Too Late For Last Week.

March 10, l936.-Tributaries
to the Missouri river above Fort
Pick drain a large area which lies,
for the most part, south of the
site of the dam. Thawing temp
cratures in these southern trlbu-
taries have caused considerable
run-off already this spring with
consequent increased flow at the
dam. Since 7 p. m, March /, the
river has risen about | feet at
Fort Peck. This has buoyed up
the ice-sheet covering the river
and has loosened it from the
banks. The increased volume of
has been conducive to rapid
melting of the ice.
Measurements Of flow made
Monday, March 9, indicate that
approximately $500 cubic feet

DEATH ON THE HI

The Travellers Insurance Com.
pany has issued a book entitled
Live and Let Live" 1t deals,
through statistics and graphic il.
Illustrations, with the traffic acci.
dent record in 1885, when &c..
100 lives were destroyed by au-
tomobiles. 1t would be a great
thing for the cause of safety if
every citizen could read the
booklet, mediate upon it, and act
upon the lessons it gives and i'm
plies.
What caused serious accidents
last year2 AS in the past, Excess
sive speed was the undertaken s
best friend, accounting for 81
per cent of all accidents in which
persons were killed or injured. A
heavy foot on the accelerator
smooths the path to the morgue.
Next came driving on the
wrong side of the road, the cause
Of II per cent of the accidents.
Keep to the right" seems to be
a laugh to many drivers.
Cars not having the right Of
way caused IS per cents of the
accidents. Their drivers saved a
second or two-at the expense
of life and health.
Fourteen per cent of the acct
dents occurred when cars drove
off the roadway. Many causes
may enter into this type Of acct
dent-and drunken driving, is on
the increase, which is among
them. A substantial portion Of
motorists must be taught, no mat
ter how roughly, hat alcohol and
gasoline make a poor mixture.
Reckless driving caused l3
per cent of the accidents, with
the remaining 10 per cent laid to
miscellaneous causes.
Think over this list. How Of

Or more of the violations listed?
Sure, you got away with it last

Another definite step TOWARD
full scale activities for the 1886 con
structiOn season at Fort Peck wa
taken this week when the MassmaT
Construction Company started full
time operation a tt e splllway
Monday. March 18th saw work com
meDce on a 3-shift basis and it is
expected that a 24-hour schedule
will be followed throughout the sea.
son Three shovels and 80 dump
trucks are stripping off the eight
foot cover which was left above
grade from last years excavation
as protection of the shale against
weather during the winter. About
200 men have been called back
to work and more will be needed
as the stripping progresses so as
to give working space for subsequent
operations.
First a network of drainage bitches
must be dug in the base of the chan
nal. Two new electric channeling
saws have been received for use
IN cutting t h e sidewalks Of the
bitches. Another larger machine
for making horizontal and inclined
cuts is on the way. AS the shale
is broken up by machine and hand
trimmed down to finished grade
the debris will be loaded into trucks
by two pull-shovels or trench hoes.
The clippers and booms have been
removed from two power shovels
and two new 1H-yard pull-shovels
attachments are being installed in
place of them. The new concrete
mixing plant will be tried out and
callbrated this week and will then
be ready for the demands of the

Full-scale operation at the spiilway
this spring and summer will be most

Since the evening of March 10th
the Missouri River has gone down
feet at Fort Peck Reports in
dicates that the tributaries above
the dam are practically clear of ice
and that, in the main stem below
the Power Plant Ferry, the ice has
started to break up. II is hoped that
n e present warm weather will
start it on its way down the river
so that dredging can begin soon.

who held that under the law Com

Immediately q wave of oppoSi-

for fear that they would be held
guilty of violating the law.
