Residents and City
Cooperate to Free
Area Of Mosquitoes

Far fewer mosquitoes in
Hardin is the aim of the city
crew which has been spraying
stagnant water in the city linn
it's with a DOT oil emulsion
this week
The work is being done will,
technical advice from Carl
Sloan, who had a great deal
of experience in insect control
while he was in the Navy dur
ing the last war.
The crew is spraying all stag
nant water on vacant lots, ETC.,
in the city limits. Mosquito
larvae are to found in huge
numbers in swampy places on
vacant lots, the workers have
discovered. Within a few days,
all stagnant water within a mile
of the city limits will be spray
ed, it was stated. A longer hose
for the eprayer is needed,
however, to reach all points on
the fairgrounds.
To make the control program
a success, it was pointed out
that everyone in Hardin must
check his own premises, and
that all stagnant water must
be screened or otherwise COW
cred. Rain barrels and all
other open water offer excel
lent breeding places for the
insects.

Accent Warns That
Weevil Threat
Is Serious in County

N. A. Jacobsen, county extern
sion agent, warned yesterday
that recent examinations of al
falfa fields in the vicinity of
Hardin show a considerable in
festation of alfalfa weevil.
The first crop is being cut
for hay, he pointed out, and
shows very little damage, since
the weevil are late this season
than usual. However, unless
control measures are put into
effect Immediately after hay
ing, the damage to new second
growth alfalfa will be serious.
Most of the weevil are now
in the larvae or worm stage,
Jacobsen said, and will drop
to the ground as the first crop
Is cured. From there they will
readily attack new growth OH
the second crop.
Recommended control meas
ures include dust mulchine
by means of a spring tooth o.
drag harrow and chemica
duStlng or spraying. For SER
ious infestations, busting with
10 per cent DOT at the rate Of
20 pounds per acre is recon-
mended. ArSenical dust OF
sprays may also be used, but
should be applied to stubble tt
avoid any possible chance 0:
livestock poisoning on the sec
ond growth foliage.
While it has not been pos
sible to check all alfalfa grow
ing sections in the county, thu
situation around Hardin shoule
be indicative of other localitie!
since Weevil are known to b,
prevalent over most of south
eastern Montana, according tt
the county agent.

Weed Demonstration
Pldnned Nedr
Billings Tomorrow

High voltage electrical equip-
ment used to kill noxiouS weeds
will be demonstrated on Fri
day, June 20, at 10 am. two
miles from the Billings fair
ground on Highway 81 just be-
You'd the C. B. Peters farm OH
the highway toward Hardin,
according to an announcement
made this week.
Conducting the demonstra-
ton will be L. G. and G. w.
Linthacum, dealers for this new
weed control method, called
electrovation, for Yellowstone,
Saltwater, Carbon and Big
Horn counties.
The manufacturers claim the
equipment is capable of de-
stroying any type weed. It trans
mits $4,000 volts of electricity
to weed roots through long
metal fingers attached to a
mobile power generator. When
lowed across weedy land, the
heavy electrical current gen.
Grated by the machine enters
the plant through the foliage
as the electric rakes sweep
across the surface of the
ground.
Electrovation was developed
more than four years ago by
Gilbert M. Baker, weed and
pest control inspector in Platte
county, Wyo. In 1914, the first
; electrovation machine was NOV
ed to Mendoza, Calf, where an
experimental station was estab-
lished. Late in 1945, the APCO
corporation began production
and further development of the
apparatus.
10 date, the method has
been tried in California, Ore
gon, Washington, Idaho, Colo
RADIO, Montana, South Dakota
and eight other mid-western
states.

Maddox President
Of International
Highway 81 Group

Dan W. Maddox of Hardin
was elected president of the In
ternational Highway 81 asso-
citation at the meeting of that
organization in Denver June
10 and IA.
Clyde RAIDER accompanied
Maddox to the meeting, and DR..
L. H. Labbitt also attended
some of the sessions
RAIDER and Maddox reported
much enthusiasm for the inter-
national highway, which will
stretch for 1882 miles from
Panama to Alaska when COM
pleted.
Canadian delegates reported
much activity on their stretch
of the highway at the session.
From the border to Calgary, the
highway will be paved. A large
portion from Calgary to Edmon-
ton is already graveled, it was
stated, and further work will be
done there this summer. From
Edmonton to Dawson creek is
the worst stretch of the road,
said the Canadians, but much
of this will also be improved
in the near future. A graveled,
all-weather highway 40 feet
wide stretched from Dawson
creek to Fairbanks, and buses
used it on schedule all last
year, but a portion of this road
is closed to tourists.
The various states represent
ed, including Texas, New Mex
leo, Colorado, Wyoming and
Montana, reported on the
amounts their highway depart
ments will spend this year on
81. In all cases a good share
of the state appropriation will
be allocated to the internation-
al highway, with Wyoming par
ticularly active in this regard
It was decided to invite dele
gates from Mexico to meet
with the association next year,

Up and
DOWn
the Street

It seems that the Custer Bat
tlefield National cemetery, one
of the chief tourist attractions
in our county and a point OF
historic interest to everyone in
the nation, is no more free of
vandalism than are other places
where the great American pub
lie gathers.
Capt. E. S. Luce, superintend-
ent, tells us that the ignorant
still chip pieces from the
stones and markers and that
deep ruts have been cut by
cars which drive off the road
WavS.
We hear it whispered that
some local young people spent
a very muddy hour or so filling
in ruts they had made at the
battlefield recently - and we
must say we think the punish
ment fitted the crime
Principal curse of local golf
ers has been high, ball-conceal-
ing grass, not only in the rough,
but on the fairwayS. The golf
club has taken steps-througn
the purchase of a three-gang
fairway mower, and we under
stand it will be operating soon
and regularly. OF course that
isn't going to help those poor
unfortunates who just can't cure
those hooks. 'Twould be a good
idea to stay out of the rough,
but We don't know for sure just
how we are going to do it.
It seems that the rattlesnakes
and other animal life that are
supposed to be so dangerous
out here haven't been causing
nearly the trouble that some of
the smaller, and semi-domesti-
Gated creatures have been Gre
ating.
In our neighborhood the
other day, we had a couple OF
cases of mouse bite, one involv-
ing our daughter. She was at
tempting to rescue a battered
and breathless mouse from a
cat, but the mouse didn't ap-
preciate it. That was bad
enough, but the next day, a
young gentleman of the neigh
borhood, of approximately the
same age had the same human
itarian impulse, and was as
thoroughly misunderstood.
And then there was the large
b~ullfrog who put a local young
lady in a state resembling shock
by jumping into bed with her
with a large and resounding
plOp.

Freedom Train
BY DAVID SCHWARTZ
Copyright, 1947, Jewish Tele-
ocrarhio A nro,nn,r IrnN


Heine in his writings tells of a
visit to Westminster Abbey. He
tells us that he paid two pence to
see this burial place of English
kings and that it was worth it.
He would have been glad, he re-
marks, to pay double that amount,
to see this collection of kings
completed.
Of course, Heine was thinking of
kings as arbitrary rulers and ty-
rants Of all kinds. I was remind
ed of this story in connection
with the Freedom Train which is
now blowing it's whistle and MAX
ing stops throughout the country.
Doubtless the projectors of the
Freedom Train idea thought to
memorable the past achievements
of freedom-loving men so that we
might make a better struggle for
its preservation and extension.
/ should have liked to see the
Freedom Train carry the works of
Heine among the other celebrated
documents for Heinrich Heime was
as true a fighter for freedom as
there was, as much a fighter as
jefferson or Sam Adams or whom
ever you may mention. 1t was
Heine who said of himself that he
did not know whether he cared
to be remembered as poet.
Poetry, he said, was always but
a sacred pIaything" to him, while
ga sword shall We place upon my
coffin, for 1 was a valiant soldier
in the war for the liberation of
mankind"
I haven't seen the Freedom
Train yet. I do not know whether
it carries the Liberty Bell of 1776
on it. Perhaps it was not expedi-
ent to do so, but certainly it de-
serves a place in such an exhibit
and Jews are glad to recall that
the Liberty Bell carries an inscrip-
ton from the Old Testament:
proclaim Liberty throughout the
land and to all the inhabitants
thereof"
1t is truly remarkable what a
bastiOn for freedom the Old Test
ament has been. 1T was the Eng
lish historian, Lecky, who said
that the Old Testament was the
arsenal for the defenders of lib
erty as the New Testament was
for the uphOlders of despOtism.
In the English Revolution, the
Puritans constantly pointed to the
passages of the Old Testament and
in the history of the American
Revolution, one may point to
numerous quotations from the Old
Testament by the leaders of the
Revolution. 4.
1t is remarkable too that the
Greeks, though they reached so
high state of civilization, could
not grasp the idea of freedom.
Neither Aristotle nor Plato could
conceive of a common man not be-
ing enslaved. The Jews, on the
other hand, emphasized by the
most drastic methods that man
was not to be enslaved. He who
even consented to be sold into
slavery was to have his ear bored
with a nail, for that ear had heard
on Mt. Sinai that the only master
was Jehovah.
So the Jewish Bible helped for
ward the ideal of freedom, and
yet significant as was that con-
tributiOn, L don't believe, it was

A REMINDER AND A WARMING

In the center column of this page
appears an excellent article by one
of our most popular columnists. Da-
vid Schwartz, who gives the biblical
background of the development of
Freedom Train.
1t is interesting to compare this
article with the one appearing in
this editorial from the Institute for
American Democracy. Inc. David
Schwartz points out that to the Jews
freedom has always meant emphasis
on the fact that God is the only Mas
ter. and Man was not to be enslaved.
The Institutes article. which fol-
