State Man Inventor
of Bomb ThrOlCer

A bomb throver, planned to be pow
cred by an airplane. and capable Of
throwing a swath Of incendiary bombs
300 feet wide. has been invented by
Murray T. Mitchell of Lame Deer. 1t
can be loaded while in flight, from
another plane. and is controlled from
the pilots seat.
Mitchell plans to submit his model
to the National Inventors council in
the hope that II will serve TO help
erase the Rising Sun.
He ran the government flour mill
at Lame Deer from 1915 to 1896 for
the Tongue River Indian agency, but
as the Indians grew less and less wheat,
the mill was finally closed, and Mitch
ell retired.
He says he learned milling when he
was years old, from his mother, who
was a good flour miller in Virginia.
He went west to Colorado in 1901
and while there invented the first beet
topper. While running the old mill
later. he invented a road graveling
machine. a rotary moving machine,
and a machine for removing wild oats
from wheat
He sold his patent for the wild oats
machine to an elevator company at
Antelope.

Reservoirs in State
Filled to Capacity,
Examination Reveals

Montana water conservation board
reservoirs are filled and Overlooking,
assuring a plentiful supply of irriga-
ton water for the 1912 season, Fred
Buck. state engineer, reported after
returning from an inspection tour of
projects in many sections of the state.
Buck predicted that farmers will
have plenty of water even under
drouth conditions, as most reservoirs
are full and streams are carrying large
heads Of water.
Farmers" he said, have not been
forced to use any stored water for
irrigation yet, as runoff water has been
sufficient for all irrigation needs and
should continue to be ample through
out June. 1t appears that reservoir
stored water will not be needed until
July"
He reported that the Durand reser-
voir and the Martinsdale reservoir,
both on the upper Musselshell river,
are filled and overlooking, as is the
Smith river reservoir, also in Meagher
county. The Big Dry creek reservoir in
Garfield county has been filled for
about eight weeks, and the Ackley res
ervoir in Judith Basin county Is filled
and overlooking.
Also filled are the Cooney reservoir
In Carbon county and the Deadman's
basin reservoir on the lower Mussel-
shell river.

First Wartime Wheat
Harvest Since 1918
Promises to Be Big

With reapers ready to go to work in
southwestern wheat fields. grain men
say the first United States wartime
harvest since 1918 promised to bring
in the nations most valuable crop
since the boom period more than
decade ago. except for that of 1887
From a marketing standpoint. how
ever. whirring harvesting machinery
means the biggest headache the grain
trade has had for some time since
there is less storage room than ever
before because of carryover supply
almost big enough to last a year. An
embargo on shipments to market for
storage already is in force.
The 1912 crops value though high,
is largely artificial because prices are
supported by government action. Due
trade with continental Europe, and
to five successive big crops following
the 1934-1936 drouth period, the gov
eminent has been forced to take con-
troll of a big portion of the supply.
AS result, the price around sl.20
a bushel for July delivery is based
largely on the fact that two thirds Of
the more than 60O,00O,00O bushels Of
old wheat to be carried over this year
is under government control while
Uncle Sam has promised to loan eligi-
BILE producers more than 10 cents
bushel above the present price for new
wheat to be held off the market.
A year ago wheat was priced slightly
less than 81, two years ago around
IS cents. and in 1898 and 1899 less
than 80 cents.

Wherein Love and
Faith Overcome the
Obstacles of a
Strange Will
IN TWO PARTS-PART ONE

When the last stage passenger
stepped down In front of the Palace
hotel. nudged Ed Carlin. the sheriff.
Steve Mayfields back! Bet he gets
his money from Villa Foster this
time If he has to marry her"
Ed Carlin grunted.
Rusty, you're a good deputy until
you start pokin' into other folks bust
ness. You know Hoke Mayfield busted
those two youngsters up for good with
that fool will he left. Hoke knew Steve
and he knew villa. And Steve amt
begging now any more than he was
three years ago"
Eds pale old eyes watched Steve
Mayfield walk into the hotel bar with
friends who had been in the crowd
that always waited for the stage And
Ed was frowning
wasn't poking into anybody's bust
ness when I crossed the street to villa
Fosters little restaurant, next to the
Elkhorn bar. I was hungry
Hello, Rusty" villa greeted as I
sat at the counter whats new in
Palomas this afternoon"
How would I know, the way Ed
Carlin keeps me busy? Apple pie and
coffee, and if you get any prettier I
Villa laughed and served me; and
I drank some coffee, rolled a cigaret,
and wondered why a girl like villa
should be working early and late when
all she had to do was take over half
ownership of Hoke Mayfield's Bar S
ranch, and half the money Hoke May
field had left piled up in the Drovers
bank, which was mostly owned by
Hoke's estate and Jonathan Case.
But villa was like that. Maybe Hoke
had known it when he drew his will
At least Hoke had known his boy,
even If he hadn't been able to corral
Steve's wild ways.
That last year when Hoke Mayfield
had been sick, with Villa tending him
like daughter, he must have thought
lot about the future.
There was Steve with the devil in
his eyes and in his likable grin, with
his wild ways and wilder friends, and
little thought for the sober-side work
of taking over the Bar S.
And there was Villa, like depend
able daughter, even If she wasn't any
kin, pretty as yucca flower, and just
the honey for young hellion who
was cycling her like buck bee circling
a blossom.
From there on the arguments start
ed about whether Hoke Mayfield had
been a fool when he made his will,
or had been as smart as he was in
other things.
Some claimed Hoke had thought too
much Of Villa to wish Steve on her,
and had taken the one certain way
Of busting up any ideas the two had.
Some said Hoke had decided to put
q Jerk rope on Steve and leave the
rope end in VILLAS hands, knowing
she would handle it like Hoke wanted,
If anyone would.
At the funeral Steve Mayfield's
comforting arm had been around Villa.
Everyone thought the two grieving
young folks were as good as hitched
from then on. But they didn't know
what Rance Higgins, the lawyer, had
tucked away in his office safe.
Not even Villa and Steve knew that
Rance Higgins had carried Jonathan
Case and me out to the Bar S, and
had called in Long Tom Hall, the
ranch foreman, and had us witness

her neat, slanting handwriting.
What ever you like, Steve. Take
your choice"
do I still have to make a choice?"
Steve laughed, pushing back the bill
of-fare
I'm afraid so. Steve"
Then I'll go hungry. Give me some
coffee"
Steve's suit was gray, hat black, and
he looked as if he had money in his
pocket. I spotted the bulge Of a gun
under his arm, and that wasn't so
good.
He began to rifle deck Of cards,
cut and shuttle, while Villa got the
coffee, and I said:
Mice card fingers, Steve. Better than
you used to have"
I'm better at lot of things, Rusty.
Had to be to get along" Steve reached
for the sugar bowl and grinned at
VILLA II heard last year that you we're
running this place. Kind of foolish,
isn't it?"
II like it, Steve. 1t lets me get
along"
IT thought that was how it was"
said Steve. and he wasn't smiling.
Neither was Villa. Between them hung
something stormy, challenging, I'M
yielding
steve,s laugh had a CRATE. Nothing
like doing what you want"
1T seems So" said Villa steadily
WAS there anything else, Steve?"
NO." said Steve, turning away from
the counter as two strange coWmen
came in. coffee wasn't what I wanted
after all. Rusty, how about drink"
Sure"
Outside, Steve looked at the pale
dust haze over the busy street. Lots
of strangers in town"
shes booming" said. And plenty
of trouble from the hardcases drifting
in after easy money"
villa doing all right?"
Pretty good"
And Jonathan Case, at the bank?'
Hell make a million or go broke,
the way he's up to his ears in mining
properties. HOWE you been, Steve?"
"All right"
Three horsemen rode fast from a
hitchrack down the street, raising dust
as they passed between us and lum-
bering freight wagon. And one of them
looked over and yelled: Como lie va,
Steve?"
Steve lifted an arm in greeting and
I didn't bother to comment that the
| stranger was one OF the wild ones
who had been giving us headache.
Steve had known him well enough
somewhere in the past three years
Wild years they must have been.
And I had feeling then of the
confession I made to Ed Carlin days
later. Looks like you were right about
Steve Mayfield and VILLA"
You still pokin' your nose into that2
told you Hoke Mayfield busted those
two for good"
"Steve'll never get his hands on that
money the way he's doing"
IF you weren't so wall-eyed blind
all the time, you'd be one fool deputy"
said Ed, reaching for his high-crowned
hat. "Steve gave up that money the
day he heard Hoke's will read. He was
too much bronc to take the bit that
Hoke put in VILLAS hands He was
stubborn proud and he still Isl
Then why'd he come back?" asked
peevishly. "Bucking the saloon games,
running with some of the worst ones
in town, so VILLA can see he'll never

Eds pale old eyes, that could go
hard and dangerous, rested ON me for
a moment.

he hasn't been sleeping too well Of
nights" Ed said, and stalked out as

Hoke Mayfields signature on the will.
We hadn't known what was in the
will, but later all three of us remem-
bered the mirthless grin on Hoke's
work-lined, weathered face as he
looked at us from his blanket-covered
chair.
Don't let anyone ever tell you
don't know what I'm doin'," Hoke told
us. There she is, down tight an
proper, like I want. Higgins tells me
it'll hold up in court. And I'm ex-
pecting even Rusty to keep his mouth
shut until the dirt is kicked in over
me an folks has wiped their eyes
and sobered up"
I always thought Hoke had known
what he was doing and what would
happen. 1t happened too. I wasn't in
Rance Higgins office when the will
was read, but I heard about it.
Half of everything to Villa Foster.
The other half to Steve. Only Steve
didn't get his half until Villa had
decided he had settled down and be-
come the man old Hoke wanted him
to be. Or until villa and Steve were
married.
Meanwhile Villa got her share at
once. Steve's share stayed in the Dro-
vers bank Jonathan Case acting as
trustee, until the matter was settled.
They said Steves face got redder
and redder as Rance Higgins went
through the will, and Steve swore soft
ly under his breath. And Villa got
pale and sat there, looking at Rance
Higgins and then at Steve.
When Higgins was through, Steve
looked at villa with a queer, hard
grin. $50 haven't got anything noW?"
villa just looked at him.
Steve looked up, still grinning.
"An right. didn't earn any of it.
I'll get along"
So there it was Hoke Mayfields will
had put dynamite between those two
young folks and blew them hard apart.
Steve couldn't talk marriage now with
out the money accusing every word.
He wasn't the kind to make a play
at settling down just to fool Villa. He
was wild and he got wilder until he
rode away from Palomas a few weeks
later with a friend for whom the law
came looking not long after.
Villa never talked much about it.
But she didn't touch Hoke's money.

"MeP" I said innocently. Must be

some more coffee as the door opened
behind me.
And when looked up and saw
VILLAS face, knew who was coming
in.
Hello, VILLA"

Men love hearty, relishing foods great tureenS of smoking hot soup, casseroles of pork and beans, cheeses, crusty rolls, .crunchy celery and pickles, cold meats and relishes-and coffee, hot and lots of it.
