A one-week test menu, pre-
pared by senior students in the
Montana State university home
economics department July IT.

crease over the identical menu
five years ago.
The menu, containing all
necessary nutritive values, cost

quired 81 cents per person per

The test was a class project

south of Hardin, causing an es-
timated 5000 damage to his
1885 Ford sedan.
The next day, Kutrien Pad

Grass on highway 81. A. D.
Slaughter of Moore, Mont, was
driving a 1888 Ford ton and a
half truck trailing a combine
when he turned out for two
head of cattle and applied his
brakes, the patrol said. The
truck and combine travelled
about 100 feet before overturn-
ing on the highway. The COM
bine came to rest in the ditch
on the west side of the road.
Harry Culp of Moore, a pas
Senger in the truck, sustained
head injuries and damage was
estimated at $500. A sum-
mons for careless driving was
issued to Slaughter.
On Saturday, Jake Flegler

about SIS.
Running off the road and
oyerturning caused $3.50 worth
OF damage to Don Kittleson's
car at l am. Aug. 10, 40 miles
west of Hardin.
A sudden stop was the cause
OF an accident about 4:3O Mon
day afternoon three miles south

Albert Boeckel, which was the
auto which stopped suddenly,
was rammed by a AT Plymouth
With Albert Chandler of Lodge

a lot OF fun and most of them

Up and
DOWn
the Street

We always did like a good
argument, and we can't think
of a better place for a nice
warm one than in the COL
umns of the Tribune-Herald.
For some weeks now, we've
been hearing comment on what
seems to be a highly contro-
versial subject, and the view
points of various of our prom
1nent citizens seem to be dia-
metrically opposed on the prop
osition.
Here it is: Is Hardin a Sat-
urday night town, or would
another evening of open stores
do as well?
One local merchant made
this suggestion: Why not close
at 6 pm. on Saturday, not
open until noon Monday and
remain open until 9 Monday
night. He pointed out that this
would give employees a better
chance to do a bit of travel
ing over the weekend, or to
accomplish some home project
that takes a little time. He is
a firm believer in the theory
that good employees make a
better business and that the
working man and woman is
due a bit of consideration.
Some of the other merchants
seem to be in complete agree
ment with this idea, and some
don't like it at all.
Another store manager here
points out that in larger places
a Mcknight dedicated to shop
pers and a closed forenoon a
week are common. He wonder
ed if Hardin is citified enough
for such a practice, however.
On the other hand, a prom
lnent rancher groaned with
pain at the idea of the Satur-
day night closing. He feels that
open stores on that particular
night cause more money to be
spent for articles of value and
less in the local pubs
Others of the rural popula-
ton share his view for var
1ouS reasons, but we really
haven't a good sampling Of
opinion from the farmers and
ranchers hereabouts, and we'd
like to hear from them.
The Tribune Herald will pub
lsh with great gusto communi-
cations on this subject, and
we'd like to hear from store
owners and managers, from
store employees, from farmers
and ranchers and from town
customers of local establish
mentS.
We will try to keep a neutral
attitude and an unbiased view
point. We know the referee gets
all the blame, but We'll take a
chance.

Ben and the Ice Cream Soda

Franklin institute was founded in
honor of Benjamin Franklin to pro-
mote the practical sciences of the
world. One honor, not usually asso-
ciated with the institute was that
the first ice cream soda was sold at
the Franklin institute exhibition of
1874. A school of design for women
also was founded by the institute in
the year 1850. Other frsts were the
tests of electric dynamos; stand
ards for ere and bolt threads,
and the first extension table.
