Lorne Deer Fdmily
Agdin Loses Home

For the second time this year,
the home of MI. and Mrs. r. B.
Rowland of Lame Deer has been
destroyed by fire.
The RowlandS' ranch home IL
miles from Lame Deer on Mud
dy creek was burned in a fire
which occurred last summer. Mr..
and Mrs. Rowland moved into
"a trailer house, following the
loss of their home, and the
trailer house was wrecked in a
gas explosion which occurred
last week.
Mr.. and Mrs. Rowland and
sons, Mickey, Frank and Ralph,
spent Christmas in Laurel and
returned to find their home de-
stroyed.
The accident occurred during
their absence when a butane gas
stove exploded. Kills Night, who
was staying at the trailer home,
was thrown out through the
door by the force of the eX-
plosion, which broke out door
and windows and damaged the
floors and walls. Kills Night re-
ceived minor burns, but was not
seriously injured.
1t is believed the controls of
the stove were accidently left
open for sometime before Kills
Night entered the trailer and
struck a match to light the
stove, and the explosion result

Snow, Cold Weather
Slow Activity
In Cattle Marketing

More snow wind and Sub-zero
Temperatures were prevalent
throughout Montana during the
week, slowing marketing actfv-
tiles, blocking country roads and
closing more winter grazing
areas to livestock, according 10
a report from the Bureau OF
Agricultural Economics at Hell
era
Al hay shortage is anticipated
before spring in some parts OF
the state.
Winter ranges and pastures
are covered with snow over most
of the state, but open areas are
reported in Beaverhead, Madi-
son, jefferson, SWeetgrass and
Big Horn counties, particularly
in the lowlandS and sheltered
spots. Virtually all StOckmen
are feeding hay and many are
feeding cottonSeed cake or other
concentrates to lessen Shrinkage
from winds and cold weather.
Livestock marketing activities
were very slow during the week
because of drifting roads, ex-
trefae cold and the holiday sea-
scr. Most markets remained
closed, but light movement of
fat lambs and hogs was report
ed. Hog prices have strength
ened slightly. :
Where weather and roads per-
mitted, grain and hay trading
continued at a slow pace. Hay
is still being shipped in from
surrounding states at high pric-
es in anticipation of a long,
severe winter, and a number of
ranchers are planning to sell
their older cows and heifer
calves to stretch hay supplies.
The demand for protein sup
plementS is high, but in-ship-
mentS are slow. Some Stockmen
hope to save on hay by more
liberal feeding of supplements.
Many country roads were
blocked during part of the week,
BAE said, but there are no crit
ical snoWbound areas. Country
roads have been kept open most
of the time, but winds could
drift them closed in a very
brief period.

In Big Horn county, as else.
where in the nation, half of
the funds raised in last years

chapter for the benefit of adults

here and, in emergencies, to
supplement- the national cpl

it becomes the ammunition for:
the greatest war ever Waged

an undertaking which affects
them all.
1.-The half of the March OF
Dimes left here at home direct
ly benefits our children and
adults who have been or may

half is used for three other all
important purposes: IL a
scientific attack upon the dis
ease itself, (2) training of pro-
fessional polio experts and (3J
financial assurance that no
American community will lack
the money to fight an epidemic.
Experience has proven that no
city, town or village can stand
alone against a major attack
of infantile paralysis.

control, to be held Monday, Jan.

room of the court house here.
The program will constitute
the regular meeting of the Hos
pital Guild for the month of

ed in learning more about can
Ger are invited to attend the
meeting, Mrs. Guy Van Cleve,
guild president said.
Mrs. H. w. Peterson of the
Montana division of the Amer
lean Cancer society met with
the Hospital Guild in November
and at that time suggested that
Big Horn county should be get
ting more benefits from the
Cancer society considering the
amount of contributions from
this area. She mentioned the
films which are available and
the Hospital Guild decided to
arrange IOr Tie showing OF Two
cancer films for its January
meeting.
The film, "The Doctor Speaks
His Mind" will pave the way
for a question and answer per-
iod which will be conducted by
DR.. Roy O.. Yeats, Big Horn
county medical advisor of the
Montana Cancer society. The
second film, "The Traitor With
in," illustrates the Importance
of early detection and the
methods of treatment.

every individual if he desires
to help curb cancer is to be
informed, Hospital Guild offic-
ers said in urging everyone to

Game Department
To Conduct Count
OF Ducks and Geese

Ducks and geese which have
selected Montana as a winter
stopping place are due to be
counted, according to Biologist
Wynn Freeman of the Montana
Fish and Game department.
On January Z technicianS and
game Wardens of the Fish and
Game department and person
mel of the u. S. Fish and Wild
life Service will begin covering
assigned areas to estimate num-
beers of waterfowl Wintering in
Montana. This census is being
conducted simultaneously in
every state of the United States,
Mexico and Canada.
The result is a commemorative
estimate of the waterfowl which
survived the 1851 hunting sea-
son and return migration.
TechniqueS for estimating
waterfowl are complicated, ac-
cording to Freeman, but eXper-
fenced men can do the job quite
accurately. Estimates of large
groups of birds are made by
ground men and later checked
with aerial photographs. Four
! planes will be used in Montana,
Although the bulk of Mon
tana'S birds go south for the
winter, each year about 10000
remain the year round. The
/ mystery of why these birds stay
in the north might best be ex-
planned by a waterfowl psychol-
ogiSt if such were available. But
stay they do and often create
quite a problem in survival dur
ing the cold weather.

Finding Of Meteor
Reported on Rdnch

Some excitement resulted this
week when friends reported that
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee Turley, who
reside on a ranch approximately
20 miles southwest of Hardin,
had found a meteor on their
place.
Upon investigation, it was
found that the story was true,
but that the find was made
early last spring, and the Tur-
leyS have kept the missile stored
away since that time since they
believe it may have some value.
Mr.. Turley discovered the
meteor while riding on the
place. His attention was attract
ed to the spot due to the fact
snow had been melted, for no
apparent reason. He inveStigat-
ed and found the object, still
warm, on the bare spot of earth.
The meteor, which weighs APP
proximately eight pounds, is a
rare find, those interested in
astrology say, since. although
many enter the earth'S atmoS-
phere, few strike the earth be-
fore burning themselves COM
pletely up. To reach the earth,
it is believed, the meteor must
be of exceptionally hard mater
ial.
The meteor could be of some
value, it is thought, since stor-
les of scientists paying up to
approximately 500 per pound
for similar finds are not uncom-
mon.

which final state reports were
recently released. The study
shows that MontananS spent
68.6 per cent of their 1913 in
come in retail stores, compared
to a national average of 64.6
per cent.
Outstanding differences i'll
expenditures in various types Of
retail stores appeared in pUr-
chaSeS in lumber, building ma
terialS and hardware stores

penditureS were 125 per cent
greater than for the nation as
a whole, and in automotive and
service stations, where Montan-
ans spent 48.9 per cent more
than the average in the United
States. Per capita expenditures
in apparel and furniture stores
were lower In Montana than fol
the nation generally.
