new HIGH FOR
LIGHT PLANT

Total power generation by city
electric plants Wednesday reached
a new high in the systems history.
supt Verne Kent's reports from
various plants operated. including
the No. 2 steam plant, showed a
total of 1.50s.o 600 kilowatt hours
generated during the 24-hour
period.
During the day. the system hit
a new peak load of 5000 kilo-
watts. More increases are ex-
pected in the next few days.
The steam plant, operated at
around 10000 to 1900 klowatts
the last several weeks to allow
build up of water level in the
storage at Lake Cushman, may be
shut down at the end of this week.
The lake level has risen now close
to 10 feet, or about IS feet below
spillway. It is considered a safe
level that will insure plenty Of
water storage through next spring.
without any threat OF deficiency
next summer.
Light department employees
have been watching the steady
increase in load on the system with
interest the past few days as
nearly every succeeding day pro-
duced a new high mark both for
peak demand and total daily gen.

German raider, informants
said it would be disposed of
either by internment or, if
it sought to escape, by am
bush. Then, they said, the
British fleet units which
had been seeking it through
out the South Atlantic from
America to Africa would be
released to other duties.
They expressed belief the
Admiral Graf Spec was the
sole German raider in
southern waters, and that
it had done all the damage
to allied shipping in the

Farm Women Combine
Pleasure and Business

The Libby Farm Women's club
had its February meeting at the
home of Mrs. James Riley, with Mrs
E. B. Mooney co-hostess. They were
assisted by Mrs. John Riley and
Mrs. Robert Holiday.
The dining room and tables were
suggestive of the valentine season
The club members and guests were
seated at their places marked by
dainty little valentines. A one dish
luncheon followed, consisting of the
main dish, parker house rolls, pick
les, salad and the dessert and cof-
fee.
Mrs. Paul Campbell, chairman of
the entertainment committee. had
each guest try her luck by fishing
in the valentine fish pond for comic
valentines with verses. These were
responded to for the roll call dur
ing the business meeting.
Mrs. Charles Martensen won the
mystery package, while the honor
of making the next birthday cake
fell to Mrs. Campbell.
The financial committee reported
and is going to decide on some pub
lie entertainment to raise club
funds.
Mrs. A. G. Herbst, chairman of
the committee to revise the club
constitution, read the old constitu-
ton and asked for suggestions as
how to amend each article to make
it more up to date and acceptable
to the clubs essentials. There was
such deluge of suggestions to each
article that the discussion proved
well worth while and took up the
entire afternoon.
The project for the day, Candle
Wicking," which was to have been
demonstrated by Mrs. Hugh Slaus-
son, was postponed until the March
meeting, so there would be plenty
Of time for such an excellent prof.
ect.
Mrs Herbst reported on her trip
to Eureka, where she went as a
guest to the Tobacco Valley Com
club. The Eureka Farm
Community club extended an in
to our club to be the guests
at the Farm Institute on February 4.

Slot Machine Tax
Measure Proposed

County poor funds would be
greatly sWelled and more money for
relief would be available under
terms of proposed law to tax slot
machines, according to Senator
Hammond of Wilbaux. Hammond's
bill would tax one-cent machines
$50 annually, nickel machines would
cost their operators $500 a year; SO
cent boxes would be taxed $3.50
and the one dollar machines would
be set at $500 year.
All money taken in BY the taxes
would go to the poor funds of the
counties where It was collected
Cities would be authorized to levy
taxes on slot machines also. If the
taxes did not exceed Is per cent
of the state tax.
Various estimates as to how much
the state would realize annually
through a slot machine tax have
placed the figure between $1,000 900
and S8,000,000 The most generally
accepted figure, however, is about
ST 100000.

Should Award Handsome
Medals to Committee

About 40 enthusiastic Ski Club
members gathered at the Club House
last Saturday for the housewarm
ing. Everyone went anticipating q
good time, and have it they did.
The decoration chairman, Mrs E.
M. Davidson, assisted by Mrs. Fred
Cloutier, Miss Vesta Knoke. Miss
Eleanor Williams, Miss Alice Lar
son, Dick Hennessy, and E. M. Da-
wilson, put up the new attractive
curtains and fixtures, covered the
tables with oilcloth and prepared
for the party.
Games were played the first of
the evening but soon Dick Hennessv
got out his harmonica and then Lee
Harmon remembered he had one
along, and his clarinet, too. John
FINLAND admitted his violin was
roundabout somewhere (he and r.
w. SmIthberger took turns with the
bow. His set Of long neglected
drums was unearthed by Jim Chris
tie. Then--aWayl away! four more
couples, etc. With genial Bert Erick-
son calling a good square dance to
start the hop, Fred Cloutier and
Carleton Joughin raised their voices
IN some calls, too. The Club House
has very good floor because it
withstood all the strains that 40
fun-loving people could give it.
A pause was made for refresh
ments and quantities of sandwiches,
pickles, cake, ice cream, and coffee
were consumed by the ravenous
crowd. Then off again to some
more dancing until the musicians,
in pure defense, played Home
Sweet Home"
All in all it was a grand success,
everyone doing his part to make and
have a good time. The committee,
Miss Eleanor Williams, f. M. Da-
wilson, and John FINLAND, deserve
handsome tin medals

Civil Service Bill
For House Workers

With the session little more than
half over, the house Of representa-
tives had settled it's employment
problem for about the fourth time.
and had hit on the idea Of civil
service system for employees in that
branch OF the legislature.
Aa a stormy session the house
dropped 20 employees to bring the
number on the payroll within legal
limits. Then it killed a measure
repeating the law limiting the num-
Der of employees, and the employ
ment committee brought out the
civil service bill.
Before coming to Helena even to
apply for a legislative job in the
house all prospective applicants
would be required to take exam
nations from their county school
superintendent and members of a
board appointed by the superin-
tendent The employment commit
tee would be directed to hire only
persons who had passed the tests.

WOULD RAISE PENSIONS.

Montana's old-age pension top
payment would be $65 a month, ac-
cording to terms of a bill sponsored
by Senator Simmons of Carbon
county. The bill would amend 9TH
er parts of the welfare act, but its
main featurea,iG-- the proposed in
crease IN pension payments. AT
present the maximum payment in
the state is $50. The federal govern
ment will pay half of any monthly
payments up to $50 ~

would give all persons over go years
old $50 a month if they had voted

Will Donate
$50 For Publicity

Lincoln county commissioners
have been asked by Montanans, Inc,
for a $3.50 contribution to be used
IN defraying expenses of an adver-
Using exhibit for Montana at the
San Francisco fair. The commits
sloners believe it will be money
well spent and will make the con-
tribution as requested. Most of the
counties of the state are contribut-
ing to this fund and it is understood
the legislature will appropriate

About 100000 was left in Mon
tana last year by tourists. Mon
tanans hopes to increase that to
S50,000,00O this year. Those in
charge of the exhibit at the fair will
try to induce those travelling to and
from the fair to include Montana
IN their itinerary Lincoln county
should benefit materially from
greater tourist travel and any mon
ey spent to help accomplish that re-
suit vii be we'll spent.
