STATE REVENUE FROM
LANDS is INCREASING

The state land department
set an all-time mark last year
in the amount of money re-
ceived for leases on grazing and
agricultural lands, according to
a report by Nanita B. Sherlock,
state land commissioner. Mon
tana'S part of the money made
on lands leased on crop share
agreements totaled S155, 900,
while early this year 3,840, 141
acres of land had been leased
tor grazing, bringing the state
$209, 1854.
Mrs. Sherlock said both in
creases were due to a law en-
acted by the last legislature to
lengthen the life of state land
leases from five to 10 years. The
commissioner said that under
the new law, farmers and stock
men are able to plan their op-
eralo1s more carefully and ex-
actly, and are using more soil
and grass conservation practices
than previously.

Rapid Promotions

Never before in the history of
the United States navy has the
prospect of rapid Announcements
for enlisted personel been so en-
couraging. The past few months
have changed Europe's map,
and with these months have
come increases in American ma
val strength. The many new
ships being added to the fleet
have opened wide the gates for
promotions, and at this very
moment it looks as though ev-
cry good man who came into
the service since last July will
have the opportunity within the
next few months to come a
third class petty officer.

Ingoldsby Legends.
Did you know that the sea-
going hail, ahoy, was the bloody
war cry of the Vikings, but that
bleeding a buoy simply means
letting the water out? That the
cathead was a projection on the
bow for tackle to fish for the
anchor, and that a brow is a
portable gangway? That the
eyes of the ship are called after
the positions of the eyes of the
old figureheads in the bow?
That a galley yarn was a scut-
tlebutt rumor, because the cook
was usually the originator OF
al startling news passed on tt
the crew?
In line with this, some eight.
zenith century comments on the
cooks of the Royal Navy might
be repeated: "The cook of a
