WHAT'S WATT WITH LIGHT
BULBS? And please excuse the
pun. A foolish economy is found in
skimping on the use of higher
wattages in lightbulbs. For some
lamps and fixtures in your home
like those lamps which are
mainly used for decorative light
sixty and rs watt bulbs are suffi-
cient. However, if you prefer the
"brighter side of life" in rooms
where you are sewing or reading,
the use of a 100-watt or a 150-
watt bulb costs you fractions of
pennies more. Did you know that
there are other types of incan-
descent bulbs besides the standard
one used in your home? For ex-
ample, a bulb called "Bolite" is for
use In standard lamps, and re-
fleets the light both upward and
downward for better light distri-
button. Too, there's a silver-bowl
lightbulb, which is excellent for
work areas, because it reflects the
light upward to avoid glare.

from home overnight. There's a
tricky little gadget - a night
lighter - that keeps one of your
windows aglow while you're away.
1t works like magic. All you do
is place the small, box-like mech
anism on a table in front of the
window, and plug it into the lamp
you want lighted at night. An
electronic eye points directly
toward the window, and when it
gets dark, the electronic eye auto
matically turns the lightbulb on,
and keeps the lamp burning It'll
dawn. The first rays Of light
switch the lamp off.

With the simple installation of

work at this hobby the year
round. Fluorescent is preferable
to incandescent light for plants,
Smyrna times., 1956-03-15

because it gives off less heat, gives
better distribution of light and
takes up less space. Too, it's eco
nomical to use. Plants and flowers
such as African violets, gloxinias,
begonias and tropical plants and
vines will thrive under fuorescent
light, but the indoor gardening
fan should be cautious of over
exposure. For greatest efficiency,
install these lights with a refiec-
tor. And for decorative purposes,
try installing them in bookshelf
tops, and using the shelves for
planting. - Jan Reynolds, Syl-

Mike and the handlers, too, went over
onto the one main street, advertised
the event to whomever they met. The

a newly strung clothes line with
washing hung from it, gently waving
in the breeze.
The running bucking bay, head down,
blindly trying to disIodge the man thing
on his back, laid a direct course for
the clothes line and washing. From his
seat on the hurricane deck, Thomas
tried with all his power to veer the
horse away.
Too Late
Slim Les shouted, tried to cut in
ahead of the bronco fury, save the
washing, but too late. The saddle horn
caught the line in the middle; il
snapped. The washing on either side
plummeted to the ground A woman ran
from the back door wringing her hands
That was the last thing Thomas noticed
as Slim Les veered the bucker back
down the alley to the corral gate

riders and busters Of the time did not
go entirely unchallenged by that tough
wiry horseflesh he contended with day
after day, nor the incidents and the
close calls of that rugged life.
Thomas had traiIed his wild horses
into North Dakota as early as 1896.
He used to head for town by the
name of Cando in North Dakota. There
were wide spaces of open land there of
which Cando was the center point. Yes
miles and miles of it each way. Home
steaderS were immigrating to the town
by the train load. And. it was bronco
mans dream come true.
Territory Invaded
Then the day came when Ed Thomas
arrived in Cando with large band
of sale horses and found competition
had invaded his territory. There was
another man from Montana, stranger,
with horses at rival sale stable just
across the way from his usual stop.
Ed, himself had always put into the
stable and corral owned by an original
settler of the town, a good sales pro-
moter, too, by the name of Mike Shan
ley. Mike held his place open, expecting
Thomas. being informed he was COM
ing.
1t looked as though sales might slow
up. People seemed to be hanging around
the corral across the way Noting this,
Thomas went into a huddIe with his
two bronco busters and horse handlers
known as Slim Les and Big Pete. The
Kid Wrangler was called in, too. They
called big Mike Stanley of ''Erin's
ISLE" as Ed described him, for his
opinion. A plan of action was decided
on, though somewhat dangerous
Thomas was not only a crack horse
rider but was also reSourceful in &
business way. He had horses to sell
had sold many before, but now he haC
tough competition and had to advertise
with vigor to get the people coming Il
the Stanley sale corral. Mike, too, wa
good to help with sales, as each sail
meant revenue in his own pocket. Thi
horseman Thomas had a little of tn
P. T. Barnum in his blood to be reck
oned with.
Come One, Come All

of the town came out with full pag

tain country was ever considered prac-
teal for anything more than stock
range. Agriculture, never. But these
same steppes and benches were later
to produces the worlds finest wheat
and barley.
Bronco Men
Such men as John Hoffman, Butte;
Jim Brown, Great Falls; Ed Thomas,
Havre; Sol Thibideaux, Chinook; ST
Gamble, Harlem; several from Glas-
gov; Jim honestly, Plentywood, and
the Shepherd Brothers, Fort Benton,
were known to the writer and some Of
them employed him as herdsman.
John Butterfield was another. The
writer never did chuck and sack under
this gentleman but, from the number
of animals he saw from time to time
bearing the B brand, John Butterfield
must have bred and raised his share
of Montana broncos. All were real
bronco men. And these were just a few
of the many, many names that trailed
wild horses to the new farm lands to
the east of Montana.
There were many incidents on these
trails, in that space of history, in the
beginning of the building of those agri-
cultural frontiers that we are trying to
briefly record here.
Hardships, Competition
Bronco men made long hard jour
neys horseback, following horse herds
through all kinds of weather, through
long stretches of barren unsettled cOun-
try, faced hazards by the score. Always
there was something that 1urked, that
kept them watchful and ready. Too
there was competition; sometimes g
quarrel with competitor.
There were marauders in those days
that would slip down in darkness, scat
ter the horses, run numbers of then
away, later to take them over, change
the brands and drive them to sOmt
remote part of the sale country them
selves.
There were still rowing bands o

By EVAN JONES

LITTLE WAS SAID at the time, less
since, about how the Montana bronco
helped to build and stabilize the agri-
culture of North and South Dakota,
parts of Minnesota and Northern Iowa.
Originally bred from the Indian
cayuse he still retained the sinewy
tOughness of that animal when branded
and turned wild upon the early Montana
ranges. Gradually bred up in size and
lineage he became-though always
somewhat small in stature-an endur-
ing bit of horse flesh, full of ginger.
In the late Seventies when the news
began to grape vine among the early
Montana horse ranches that North and
South Dakota were being thrown open
for homesteading the owners began to
eye their bands of horses-wild, raw
broncos-with interest.
Bronco Buyers Move In
Shortly, horse breakers and profess
sional bronco men began to buy these
animals and started to trail them
through to the new homestead coun-
tries; breaking the animals to the
halter, to the harness if demanded,
usually not too well, and selling them
to the settlers as they arrived.
Slow at first, this horse business later
began to grow, until in the late '8Os
it became an industry.
Livery and feed stable men were
quick to grasp the idea, when these
herds of wild horses began to appear
in the settlements, of building hasty
accommodations for them and arrang-
ing sale centers. High board fence en-
closures were built as additions to the
sides of their stables, strong enough
to corral and hold the tough new
Corners.
Hardy Men
The men that trailed these wilC
horses in were hardy lot, accustomed
to a life in the open, used to dali.
hazards, men who snapped "a finge
at danger. They had to be rugged t
deliver their merchandise of horse files
in serviceable condition to the newl
come settlers who were beginning t
demand it to open virgin burrows i
a new, strange land.
Later the writer had a small pal
in some of these expeditions as a XII
wrangler and herdsman. Usually tn
boy who was lucky enough to get a 10
holding and herding was known as tn
kid wrangler.

Theta Phi Alpha, national
Catholic sorority, was founded

and to advance their interests
in educational and social mat
