BELLING PUSSYCAT.

from Mrs. J. H., Alexandria,
Being lover Of cats as we'll as all
animals, would like to offer Mrs. C
word of practical advice. Belling
the kitten is an excellent idea in
behalf of the birds, but this will not
in the least retard kitty's lust for
catching birds. 1t will only make
one less feline to prey upon the bird
family. And there is a way that this
should be done, also to protect kitty.
A narrow piece of elastic dt can
now be purchased I believe) about
one-fourth-inch wide with little bell
attached makes fine collar. In this
way, kitty will slip the collar If
same becomes caught in weeds or
other obstacles. Also. ones phone
number can be printed quite legibly
upon the elastic. Some cats have no
desire to catch birds but they are
very few and far between, others
catch them for food. still others
catch them for sport.
However, 1t Is an excellent thing
to feed kitty bit OF raw meat to
satisfy his wish for nature in the
raw" Also, kittys habits can be
formed the first half year. He should
be treated as child is, the same
words said daily for correction, etc,
and the diet made as varied as pos
sible. In this way he becomes a
happy and interesting pet.

PAINTING QUERIES?
(From Mrs. r. A., SilUer SPRING.
I wonder if any one can tell me
whether or not the corrosion from

Also, how could the screens be
treated to prevent this another

FAMILY TREE

| (From Mrs. p. E. T., washington. J
For Mrs. E. A. of Arlington on
family tree. The Library of Congress
has a special reading room in the
annex for genealogical research
There are assistants employed there
who will help you look up your
family history and direct you to
books and charts which will answer
your question on how to graphically
chart your family.
(Fron E. w. D., Washington
To Mrs. E. A.: 1t is possible to
get blank charts for compiling family
data from many sources. The
D. A. r. and other genealogical So
cieties and the Mormon church
here have good charts.
The only way to trace your an
cestry is first to get all the informa-
tion you possibly can from family
Bibles, old letters and from the
oldest members of the family con-
corning the religion, tradition and
facts and especially the location OF
the family as far back as they can
remember. Do this whether you
ever make a hobby of genealogy
or not.
In any genealogical library you
can find town and county histories
and often church records of births
deaths and marriages. If you are
lucky you may find a published
genealogy of one of the many family
names in your lines and your own
information may prove you are OF
that family. Proof must be definite
If you are accepted by any patriotic
society and references are required
as to every birth, death and mar
riage date and place.
This is a fascinating hobby and
If you enjoy solving puzzles, as most
of us do, you couldn't find more
interesting or worthwhile pastime
Washington has two of the best
libraries in the country, the Con-
gressional and the D. A. r.
The often-repeated statement
that the Mayflower must have been
crowded boat is only made when
people do not remember the size of
every family in the early days and
by simple arithmetic figure how
many people are descended from
one couple in 13 generations which
is about the number for most of us
to 1920. If you can trace one New
England line back to the Revolution
(about seven generations) you have
an excellent chance to find some
intermarriage which can be traced
to the Mayf1ower In genera
tions you had 254 great-grandpar-
ents and the number doubles every
generation, so in 10 generations
there are 2,032. 1t is not too i'm
possible to find Pilgrim line in
such a multitude!

DANCE PLANS
u

Robert A. Vickers, chairman
of the drive for funds for the
benefit of the National Found
alton for Infantile Paralysis,
announced this week that
plans for a benefit dance have
been completed.
The dance in Hardin will be
held on Saturday, Jan. 20, at
the junior high school gym
nasium. The BUNS of Rhythm
a Billings orchestra, has agreed
to furnish the music. Other
dances in the >county will be at
the school gymnasium in
Lodge Grass and the school
gymnasium in st. Xavier. Mr..
and Mrs. B. A. Zimmerman
are in charge of the fund drive
in Lodge Grass and will take
care of the March of Dimes
boxes as well as the dance.
Music in Lodge Grass will be
by an orchestra from Sheri-
dan, Wyo. Mrs. Joe O'Brien is
chairman for st. Xavier.
H. G.. Wells is acting as the
chairman for the March of
Dimes in Hardin and will
place boxes for contributions
in various places of business.
It was emphasized that the
Importance of the dim e S
should not be overlooked,
since large totals are piled up
by these small contributions.
During the eight years of its
existence the National Found
alton for Infantile Paralysis,
which conducts the March Of
Dimes, Jan. 14-31, has disburs-
ed more than eight million
dollars for research and edu-
cation and more than two
million dollars for emergency
aid in epidemics. Epidemis aid
supplements all the eXpendi-
lures of local chapters. In 1945
alone, local chapters disbursed
nearly five million dollars for
care and treatment of local
poliomyelitis patients. o n e.
half of all contributions to the
annual March of Dimes re-
mains with the chapters for
this work.

l2l MEN ENLIST

Major Harold C. Mcknight,
commanding officer, Military
Personnel procurement service,
Butte, announced this week
that 121 enlistments were made
in the regular army during the
month of December. Consider
ing the fact that this is the
holiday season, this is an ex-
ceedingly good record, he said.
The Montana recruiting dis
trict placed third in the Ninth
Service command for enlist
ments during the first week in
December Forty-five per cent
of Montana's enlistment quota
was made during these two
weeks. The Ninth Service COM
mand, which covers the west
coast, placed third in enlist
ments for the entire nation.
Among those who enlisted
were Harry S. Christian and
Leslie T. Dumler of Hardin.
Enlistments in the regular
army are open to men from II
to "a inclusive. Enlistments are
taken for 10 months, two-year
and three-year periods. In
formation concerning the reg
ular army is available at the
recruiting office at 1927 First
Avenue North in Billings.

WINTER WHEAT
PAINTINGS UP

Winter wheat paintings in
Montana during the fall of
1945 were IA per cent larger
than a year earlier, according
to the Bureau of Agricultural
Economics.
It is estimated that 1,718,0 900
acres were seeded for harvest
in 1916 compared with the pre-
vious all-time record of 1907
600 acres for 1945 and an av-
erage of 100000 acres during
the 10-year-period 1934-43.
Expanded seedlings were not
ed in all parts of the state,
with the most pronounced IN
creases in the north central
counties. Part of the increase
came as a shift from spring
wheat, which in 1945 had much
lower yields than the winter
crop.
General rains late in Sept
ember and favorable October
weather for field work were
other inducements for the in
creased planting of winter
wheat.
Seeded fields have germinat-
ed well and with good moisture
reserves the crop has prospects
of high production. Estimated
from a relationship of Dec. l
condition with yields of past
years, production of winter
wheat in 1916 is placed at 34,-
100000 bushels. A 3d. 900
bushel crop was harvested in
l945.
Paintings of rye in Montana
for all purposes covered 100000
acres. This is slightly more
than the preceding year, but
is still at a relatively low level.
Much of this crop is grown for
hay and pasture and the
planted acreage is, to some
extent, associated with the
need for and availability Of
hay, the bureau said.

FEWER HOGS
IN +

Hog production in Montana
continued it's downward trend
in 1945 from the peak reached
in 1913, according to the Blu
reau of Agricultural Econom-
les.
This year 347, 900 pigs were
saved, 81 per cent of the 1914
pig crop and only so per cent
of the record crop of 698 ,000
pigs two years ago.
Pigs saved in the spring of
1945 averaged 6.5 per litter.
Farmers indicate that accord
ing to their present plans a
bout the same number of
sows, $4,000, will be narrowed
this spring as last.
Fall farrowings Gune through
November) amounted to 81, OO0
sows in 1945, the same num-
Der as in the fall of 1914. The
average number Of pigs saved
per fall litter was 6.6.

NAME OF RATION
BOARD CHANGED

The local OPA board is A
Ration board no longer. Be-
ginning Dec. % it became q
Price Control board, OPA Dis
trict Director l.. M. A. Wass
has announced.
The change in the name OF
the local boards from War
Price and Rationing boards tc
Price Control boards, Wass
poited out, was made because
sugar is the only commodity
still under r%ationing and all
necessary activity connected
with sugar rationing has been
shifted to the OPA district Of
flee at Helena.
The change will enable the
local boards to do a more eff
fective job of price control
during the coming months,
Wass said.
The district director stated
that those persons who wish
to apply for a new Or replace
ment ration book four, which
contains sugar stamps, or SER
vice personnel who are apply
ing rations, now must mail
their applications direct to
the district office at Helena.
Application blanks are avail
able at all local Price Control
boards, but he emphasized that
the blanks were not for any
new issuance to the general
public, but were simply for re-
placement of lost or destroyed
ration books, for new books
for returning servicemen and
for furlough rations, This new
procedure, he repeated, would
not affect persons who already
have ration book four, unless
their book should be lost or
destroyed.

d Beets During 1876
Day Run Here

Campaign at the local Holly
Sugar factory ended on Christ
mas day, with a total of 127,-
179 tons of beets sliced. The
cleanup of the factory was
completed on Friday, Dec. %.
Slicing started on Oct. l,
and the campaign lasted 81
days.
Besides those from the local
area, beets were shipped in
from Miles City for processing
An additional 1000 tons was
scheduled for shipment here,
but ODT requisitioning of rail-
road facilities made it impos-
sible to get them here in time
to be sliced.
The sugar content at the To-
cal plant averaged 1857 per
cent.
It was the first campaign
for the new superintendent,
Ira Croghan,, who came here
from Torrfngton, Wyo., to take
over the position of factory
head succeeding v. I. Morris.
About 200 extra workers in
the factory proper were en-
ployed during the campaign
and there were also extra en-
ployees in the office and agri-
cultural departments during
the campaign.
