It IS reported that E. w. Bell, audit
chief Of the general accounting office,
testified before the house appropria-
lions committee that more than TOO
federal employees visited Florida last
winter Investigation showed that trips
were made between Nov IS, 1885, and
March l, 1910.
Certain government agencies send
employees to Florida between these
dates because Of the fruit and vegeta-
bic season and also because Of the
migration Of criminals to Florida re-
sorts during the winter months. The
issuing Of travel orders for such trips
are necessary expenditure Of public
money, 1t Is pointed out, but it Is be-
lieved that many Of the more than
100 trips to Florida during the stated
period were not bona fide.

factor in stimulating the work to a

City folks recent rush to buy farms
as an economic haven has suffered q
slight check because of farm credit ad-
ministrations regulations on advance
of mortgage money. Under regulations
framed in accord with the law, you
have to have more than a shoestring
Many prospective purchasers figured
that they could establish themselves
on the land through financial aid from
farm credit, which charges only 81
or percent for money. But the city
slickers are putting nothing over on
Uncle Sans farm financiers. There
will be no advance OF funds unless the
would-be buyer can prove that he OPP
crates or manages the farm to sub
stantial degree" or that he obtains
decent percentage of his income
from agricultural interests Thus gen
tleman" or suitcase" farmers are
barred, unless they can meet these
qualifications.
The reasons for setting up this OBJ
stacle appear to be sound. The AAA
does not want to put into the import
ant business of farming people who
have no real qualifications for the Job.
It Is willing-and glad-to enable in
dustrious farmers to keep their places
with necessary loans, but it resents
and resists the class of buyers which
it regards as Spectators" or gam

Sam Protine is dead and has been
for many years. In Butte in 1922 he
was known as the oldest policeman
in the world. At SO he did active
patrol duty in the business center of
Montana's Mining city.
June 2. 1924, and in 1922 was still in
the ring, patrolling his beat with the
vigor of youth, his shoulders straight
and his step firm
Friend Of Jere the Wise
How do you do it?" someone asked
Sam when he saw him walking his
beat with the vigor of youthful cop
over year before his death.
I've chewed tobacco all my life
like white man." he said. Il am 60
ing to chew that same brand of to-
bacco for many more years. I got the
first package that was manufactured
in st. Louis more than so years ago."
The late Chief Of Police Jere Muir
ply was Protine's friend. He often
staged a buck and wing dance In the
chiefs office, offered to bet months
wages that no policeman on the force
could even do jig, dangerous bet
in Butte.
In 1922 with nearly century of
vigorous activity behind him the Of
ficer was still active and straight as
an arrow. His grizzled hair and wrin-
killed. face bore mute testimony to the
number of years he had lived. He still
thought clearly, remembered his past
experiences, and worked hard until
death took him at the century mark.
1t was rumored that Sam was going
to get married. He had little to say
about it when questioned.
"A man ought not TO live alone"
was all he said, before his death. Il
think that I have now lived long
enough to exercise some discretion in
the matter. If the spirit moves me
step off any time"
Was in Secret Service
Protine travelled overland to Califor-
mia in 1850 where he spent seven or
eight years in the secret service. He
returned to st. Louis and later Joined
General Harney's expedition up the
Missouri river to Fort Benton. On this
trip to the west he remained in Mon
tana only short time, when he went
back to st. Louis and played part in
the Civil war as a member of the
secret service force.
He carried a message from General
Grant to Fort DonelSon, announcing
the coming of relief party from Fort
Henry. On this trip he narrowly eS-
capped. The written message was con-
cealed in the barrel of his pistol When
he crossed the Sabine river he was
grabbed by Confederates and ordered
to surrender his gun.
Almost Shot AS Spy
What, take this pistol from the best
marksman in the world?" he exclaimed
and fired two shots into the river

Many poultry raisers prefer to have

chicks In order to use their brooding
equipment twice and have pullets COM

again in late fall.

will come into production in late sum-

going into a mott or slowing up in
chicks will come into production Just
when the early pulletS may need a
little support to keep the egg basket
full.
Buy chicks from high producing
families and not merely high produce
ing individuals. Select them from
flocks that are known to have been
free OF pullorum disease for as long
as possible, and be assured that the
hatchery uses every precaution against
the spread Of disease by disinfecting
and fumigating the incubators and
Matching rooms.
When you receive your chicks re-
solve to follow through on this disease
prevention program by using every
precaution to avoid the introduction OF
infectious diseases. The bacteria found
in tiny particle of litter or droppings
which may be deposited in the drink
ing water by the chicks will develop
into millions In a very short time. The
best way to prevent this development
Is to use a drinking water medicine
which will inhibit the growth OF BAG
terra and medicate the digestive tract
as well.
The heat Of a brooder stove Is quite
apt to dry out brooder room or at
least reduce the humidity in the air to
a point where 1t will dry out the mu-
cous membranes lining the respiratory
tract OF the chick. This removes the
coating OF moisture which protects the
chick against the invasion Of cold
producing bacteria. and the best pre-
caution against this danger Is to use
a spray containing antiseptic oils and
to the secretion Of mucus.
