on Fast Driving.
MANY CRASHES COME
ON STRAIGHT ROAD

An ANALYSIS of 271 car accidents
involving 436 drivers, reported to
the state highway patrol in July
under law passed by the last legis-
lature, shows that most of the road
tragedies in Montana are caused by
too much speed, according to Lou
Boedecker, supervisor of the patrol,
One hundred sixty-one of the ac-
cidents occurred in open districts,
16l happened in daylight, the wealth
er was clear in 203 cases, the crash
es were on pavement in 123 cases
in 213 instances the pavement was
dry. in 139 accidents no road de-
fects whatsoever were listed, the
road was straight where 152 mis-
haps took place, LIT of the wrecks
were on straight stretches.
Cars up to four years old involved
in the accidents numbered ISL, drlv-
ers reported that 268 of the cars had
no defects, 165 of the drivers were
between Is and "A years of age, 357

Much Activity In
Home RemodeIinq

Earl Switzer, j. Neils Lumber Co.
retail manager, recently stated that
this fall has seen more activity In
Libby so far as remodeling of homes
is concerned than has taken place
for many years.
This progress is being made be
cause of the fact that the lumber
company now has available to all
home owners the Title One plan Of
the Federal Housing Administration
whereby money may be borrowed
for repairs and paid back on any
plan or in any manner which the
borrower may name. The rates OF
interest e4Bo low that any one can
afford to get loan.
The loan plan not only covers
the remodeling of interiors, fixing Of
roofs, and building of garages but
also includes the installation of new
plumbing and heating necessities.
Any person interested is asked
to call at the J. Neils office and ge
further information. Estimates o
costs are gladly given. More in
formation may be had by reading
the j. Neils advertisement on al

Town Team Too
Much For Old Timers

The largest crowd to attend a
baseball game in Libby this season
gathered Sunday to see the Old
Timers battle the town team. The
sympathies of the crowd were all
with the Old Timers, which is cas-
lily explainable because of the we'll
known proclivity of humans to side
with the under dog. And the Old
Timers were expected to be the I'M
der dog in this instance.
. In spite of voeiferous roofing in
behalf of the Old Timers by the
large crowd, the town team proved
too much for the oldsters and won
the game by an 8 to 4 score.
Burpee and Bleich were the bat
terry for the Old Timers, with Lind
sey of Troy relieving Burpee on the
mound the last two or three innings
Both men pitched good ball but die
not have support at critical times
Brown and Moberly performed fol
the town team, Brown pitching
very good brand of ball Throughout
the game.
The town team had challenged
the Old Timers on a basis of thu
winner take all, SO the total gat'
i receipts went to the youngsters. Tn
game was. an interesting one ant
was a fitting close Of the baseball
season in Libby.

SHADES OF THE KOOTENAI
RAM"

What is considered to be the larg-
est and best specimen of mountain
sheep head ever to be found in
Montana was recently discovered by
Jim Lindholm of Warland in the
Five Mile district. The head is now
on display at the Jaqueth & Charm
holm hardware store.
Game Warden W. j. Darlington
said, This specimen of head is
without doubt the finest ever to be
found in Montana. No doubt this
ram is a direct descendant Of the
famous "Kootenai Ram" which
Ernest Seton Thompson, famous
naturalist, writes about in his book
by that name
Carlton Potter, big game hunter
who passed through here several
days ago on his way to West Vel
/ lowstone from a hunting trip in
British Columbia, said this head is
the finest he has ever seen In Mon.
tana. He claimed the sheep had beer
i between IS and 27 years old anc
that it had more than likely died {
natural death Mr.. Potter tried t.
purchase the head but it is agains
Montana law to sell them.
III The next largest head to be founc
in the state was discovered neai
Gardiner. The horns of the on'
found here measure good hal
inch larger in circumference than
\ that of the former champion. Thes
horns measure 36 inches in circum
Florence and is inches around tn
base.
n Charley Powell, in a game checl
about three years ago, believes h
, stood within 20 feet of this sheep A
that time he estimated it to be
prize head.
Lincoln county is one Of the bes
places in the northwest to get
, view Of these animals. They ar
seen by passengers on the Gree
! Northern frequently as they pa:

are usually tough and of poor quail
ity.
Color-Since color in vegetables
is largely a matter of condition and
is an index of how they have been
cared for, it should be bright, clear
and attractive.
Form-The entry should approach
the correct type of the variety. The
principal requirement, therefore, of
form is that it should be economical
with as little waste as possible.
Freedom from Blemishes-Vege-
tables should be free from any dis
ease and pests as well as free from
bruises and breaks caused by rough
handling
Condition-All vegetables should
be firm, mature and in every respect
in apparently good condition.
Quality-This is the most import
ant thing about vegetables. being q
combination of flavor, sweetness
texture, etc, that constitutes edi-
bility
In addition to the above, all root
crops should be free from dirt. fl
brous roots and tops removed. Cab
bage and caulifloWer should be pro
perly trimmed and every vegetable
should be so handled as to make il
appear most attractive.
In judging certain kinds of vege-
! tables, additional points are some
times considered For instance
with the potato, the following score
card is used.
Uniformity-Exhibits should bt
uniform in all physical character
istics.
Blemishes and Disease-Shoufd b.
no traces of blight, rot, rhizoctonia
sunburn. or injury from rough
handling.
| Shape and Size-Should be typi
cal of the variety Market demand
a moderately oval, flat or rount
shape and of medium size, 10 to l.
y. ounces.
i Quality Of Flesh-Should be tru
to the variety. Market requires
fine textured flesh of light color
free from excessive moisture an,
from hollow or dark spots.
Depth and Frequency of Eyes
Should be typical of the variety
. Market demands thin, smooth Skin
White skinned varieties are prefer
able in most markets.

Hunters Prepore
for Bird Season

Another war was in the offing this
weekend as thousands of Montan-
ans got their scatterguns ready for
one-day attack on native upland
birds. Prairie chickens, ruffed
grouse, blue grouse, sage hens and
fool hens will have to revert to an
aerial defense Sunday in every
county of the state.
Results of a survey undertaken
by deputy state game Wardens
showed that all species of grouse
have been increasing throughout
the state, the native bird popula-
ton having doubled in some areas
what it was few years ago. Three
birds will be all one hunter can
take during the one day season, ex-
cept in Lincoln county, where the
season will last through Wednes-
day, with three-bird bag limit each
day.

Due to the recent rains the axe,

ed as of September IA. Since the
vegetation is very dry at this time,
even with the recent rains, a few
hours sunshine or wind would dry
