rod had several plants showing up
that had to be treated again.
Another patch of knapweed a lit
tie larger and which was handy to
cultivate l plowed in the fall. The
next spring this was disced down,
and when the weeds started to grow,
a duckfoot cultivator was used every
two weeks for the remainder of the
season. The next year, the duckfoot
was used every three weeks for the
growing season. The third year,
there was just one plant that ever
showed up in the patch and it got
a shot of sodium chlorate.
Killed Morning Glories
A patch of morning glory that I
cultivated, using the same program
as on the knapweed, showed up
fairly well the third season, so it
was cultivated until late summer and
then left to see how many plants
would show up that fall. There
were very few that appeared and
these were all treated with sodium
chlorate. The next year the field
containing this patch was sown to
grain, and / could not find a single
morning glory plant on the spot.
The trouble with using chemicals
is its expense on patches of any
great size and also that it sterilizes
the soil, although I would much
rather see a spot of bare ground
growing smaller each year than to
see a patch of noxious weeds grow
ing healthier and larger every year.
1t seems the length of time the
ground is sterile after chemical
treatment varies a great deal de-
pending on the soil and amount OF
moisture it receives. If these spots
are on land that is irrigated, it soon
washes out and plant life will start
to grow; in fact, too soon to be sure
you have all the weed shoots killed
I believe it is a good policy te
keep irrigation water off these
treated spots for a year OF two if pos
sible. This gives you a chance tt
check your patches for weed shoot.
and possibly seedlings, and give
them treatment if necessary before
other vegetation starts to take foot
hold.
A small spot in a fence line where
no run-off or irrigation water eve
ran over it is still bare of vegetation
about eight years, as near as I cal
figure it, after treatment using tn,
usual amount of chemical.

FATAL To
TWO At GREAT FALLS

Two persons, Vida Mae I'm
mulch, 2G, and Benjamin Carpen-
ter, %, were killed early Tues
day in a highway accident near
Great Falls when the convertible
in which they were riding collid-
ed with an oil tanker driven by
Willard (Bud) Arnold of Laurel,
an employee of the Hageman
Transport company. The woman
was secretary of an optical COM
pany and the man was a smelter
worker.
The truck was going towards
the city when the car pulled
in front and continued west. Ac-
cording to the account, it made a
U-turn and suddenly doomed in
the path of the truck. The truck
driver swerved the tanker and
trailer but could not avoid the
collision.
Both vehicles went into the
ditch beside the road, the tanker
falling on the convertible and
crushing it's occupants.
Wayne Hageman, proprietor of
the trucking concern, said the
Arnold, was fully exon

Tax Total In County Gains Over
Year Ago; Is Less Per Individual

The office of the county as
SCISSOR, T. A. Cothron. has COM
pleted spreading taxes for 194S
and announced Saturday that
while the total tax bill for the
county this year is larger than
1947 by $448,231.03, the tax bill
for each individual property own
er will be less, provided it COW
ers the same property and has
no new special improvement
charges added.
The reason for the 1913 de-
crease, the assessor said, is that
the assessed valuation of the
county showed a marked increase
last year and as a result the
tax levy for this year is A mills
less than that of 1947.
The total tax bill for 1913, in
specials, is $3,120,59S.S9,

Ebersviller Shows
ROping Technique
In Taking Big Fish

E. H. Ebersviller of Laurel
gained a kind of distinction re-
Gently in his fishing, something
like a golfers hole-in-one. The
scene was the Boulder river, and
of the incident the Big Timber
Pioneer had this to say:
"Big Timber probably has more
really good trout fishermen per
square inch than any other town
in the country. There are fly
artists, worm, sucker meat and
daredevil experts as well as other
devotees of spinner and the
hundred and one miscellaneous
lures.
There's also some pretty good
rope singers in this area. But
we haven't heard of anyone in
E. H. Ebersviller's class. He a
fisherman from Laurel,
and good too. He must also be
at throwing loops.
Last week, perhaps just to
vary his sport a bit, he roped a
four-pound loch in the Boulder
near town. This form of trout
is generally frowned upon
by game wardens (they call it
snarling) but in this case there
probably won't be any prosecu-
ton.
"Mr. Ebersviller was just mind
his own business, tossing his
daredevil in and out, when this
och made a lunge at it, missed

line around himself. And

SMITH TELLS STORY
Of Mp. TRADEMARK

Worthington Smith of Billings
assistant division superintendent
of the Northern Pacific. told Lau-
rel Rotarians Tuesday that the
idea behind the peculiar red and
black symbol of his railroad is
at least 5000 years old and rep
resents the basis of Chinese phil
osophy.
Two officials of the Northern
Pacific, attending the Worlds
fair at Chicago in 1898, saw the
monad in the Korean flag and
liked it so well that it became
a part of the Northern Pacific
symbol in '94. Considerable re-
search was done on it subsequent
ly, which revealed that although
Americans observed it as coming
from Korea, China was the coun-
try of its origin; the other Far
Eastern countries adopted it from
the Chinese.
In 1917 A. d. a Chinaman,
Chow Lien XII, was born. AS a
young man he delighted in ma
ture, and roamed the hills and
dales. To this is owed the ex-
istence of the trademark and the
fame which Chow Lien XII at
tanned.
One day he found a cave, which
ran through a hill and had an
entrance on each side of it. Both
entrances were double crescent
but the cave was round
a moon inside. Out of these
:rescentic entrances and the
noon-shaped cave he evolved the
diagram that has become noted
among the Chinese.
This he used to illustrate a
philosophy established by Fuh Hi
more than 5000 years B. c., and
If course 1000 years before Chow
'ound his wonderful cave. From
he mysteries of an ancient Chi
lese philosophy it now has been
forth to illustrate the
modern American system of
transportation.
However much the Chinese
nay deserve to be called heath.
n, they could, even in Fuh HIS
ime, hold their own in abstruse
p%eculation. The commas, or
in the trademark, are

REFERENDUMS AIRED
At K|WAN|S SESSION

The two referendum measures,
81 and so, pertaining to finances
of the Montana greater univer-
sity system and to be voted on
by the taxpayers of the state at
the November general election,
were discussed Wednesday eve
ming by Charles B. Sande, deputy
county attorney at the weekly din
ner meeting of the Kiwanis club.
The referendums were authorized
for submission to the people by
the 1947 legislature.
No. 81 is routine, giving the
legislature authority to make ad-
ditional levies during the next
10 years, not exceeding 6 mills,
for the support, maintenance and
improvement of the six units now
comprising the University of
Montana, together with the agri-
cultural experiment station and
its branches; also the agricultural
extension service, including the
soil survey and the grain labora-
tory.
No. SO is for a $4,000, 900 bond
issue with which to make addi-
tons and improvements to and
for the six units of the greater
university at Missoula, Bozeman,
Dillon, Billings and Havre.
Speaking in favor of the pas
sage of the two referendums,
Sande said that education of the
youth to as great an ex-
tent as possible is of vital i'm
p~ortance to the individuals them
selves and to the state collective
y. "The atomic bomb proved that
education pays off," he declared.
of whether a taxpay-
ng voter has children who can
,r will use the facilities, the
young people of Montana are en-
tiled to the opportunity to in
:rease their knowledge and use

Quoting statistics, he said the
lumber of students now crowd

f 1920 and nearly double that
f 1910. Money provided some
ears ago by the state per stu

The need for more space is
cute, which the bond issue is {
ltended to relieve. There has {
cen no bond issue for this pur- ;
ose since 1920. Those additions I
