The AdmiraIs of Fort Benton

mira1 L. D. Sharp (retired) also came from
Fort Benton. And he reminded us that Brig
adler General R. W. Curtis of the us. Army
and Colonel Karl Louther of the us. Ma
rine Corps came from Fort Benton.
Since its early pioneering days, many
other young men from Fort Benton and its
surrounding rural territory have served in
the various branches of the armed services,
as have men from all other Montana COM
munitieS.
But we doubt whether any other town of
1900 to 1900 population in the United
States has produced four admirals. Perhaps
that is not so surprising record for an in
land town as it might seem. After all, Fort
Benton used to be the head of navigation
on the Missouri in the old fur trading days
and for good many years thereafter.

A Matter for Solemn Debate

the distinction has become pedantic, and
"a historical should be said and written;
similarly an humble is now meaningless
and undesirable"
Some of the lords, though, agreed with
Lord Concord in is argument that it is
more correct to use 'an" before an aspirated
''h" when the first syllable of the word is
unaccented, as in ''an hungarian"
Well great many Englishmen of all de-
grees have trouble with their matches but
the lords muddled through in proper fash
ion. They settled the controversy about the
"a" and the cam by using another article
and calling the measure ''the" hotel proprie-
tors bill

there were individuals who did not eat
bread regularly.
Among the principal characteristics de-
sired by the homemakers in the bread they
bought were freshness at the time of pur-
chase, ability to retain freshness, pleasing
taste and an absence of doughiness or gum
mineSs.
Unfortunately for wheat growers the
bread perferred by these consumers uses
considerably less wheat flour to the loaf
than good homemade bread
Regardless of how these Rockford bread
eaters feel about it, we definitely prefer
bread of the homemade type that has some
substance to it and that good flavor that
Montana hard wheat flour gives. And we'll
bet dollars to doughnuts that many city con-
Sumers would prefer that kind too, if they
could only find some to try.

Consumers Prefer Fluffy Bread

JUST WHAT WE WE'RE afraid might
happen, apparently has happened. Consum-
ers finding so little good substantial 'meaty''
bread on grocery's shelves in recent years
have grown so used to the lighter, fluffier
breads that they now actually prefer this
machine-made stuff. At least, the consumers
in Rockford, Illinois, do, according to re-
search study recently conducted there by
the United States Department of Agricul-
ture.
The consumers were asked to express
their preference for five kinds of white
bread made by different formulas Several
hundred tried the different breads and then
reported which they liked best
A compilation of the results shows that

the Rockford consumers definitely prefer
bread that runs 10 cubic inches to the
ounce over that at cubic inches to the
ounce, thus showing their preference for
the fluffier loaf They preferred bread with
a sucrose content Of per cent, over that
with a content of 2 per cent. And they pre-
ferred bread with 4 per cent content of
milk solids over bread with no milk solids
Interviews with the housewives showed
that they use a wide variety of breads, such
as white, whole wheat, french and special
formula breads But white, pan bread was
the only kind bought several times week
by large proportion Of those visited. Nearly
all served bread at all three meals each day,
but in considerable number of households

PERHAPS YOU WILL get a laugh, as
we did, from the following editorial which
appeared in of all places, the Wall Street
Journal:
The House of Lords debated the other
day over whether certain measure should
be designated as Ga hotel proprietors bilI'
or 'an hotel proprietor's bill"
Lord after lord made clipped speeches
about the matter and Mr. Fowler'S Modern
English Usage" was quoted on the issue:

silent III IA history, an hour; AN was for
merly usual before an unaccented syllable
beginning with III ian historical work. but

USDA reports that Japan, the United
Kingdom, Canada the Netherlands and
West Germany, in that order, were the
largest foreign markets for United States
agricultural commodities in 1855. Collect
lively they took nearly half of this country's
farm exports during the year.
Farmer participation in the acreage re-
serve program is running higher in many
states than was expected.
Farm owners borrowed $4,000, 900, 900
on farm mortgage security in 1855, the
largest amount since 1923, according to es-
Inmates of the Farm Credit Administration.
The 1855 total was 26 per cent more than
in 1854, and PIG per cent more than the
1937-40 average. All the principal types of
agricultural lenders showed increases. The
federal land banks had an increase of so
per cent; insurance companies, % per cent;
banks and trust companies, Is per cent;
miscellaneous lenders, 10 per cent and indi-
viduals, Is per cent. The average size of
farm mortgage for all lenders-$7, 100-was
the largest on record. 1t was 19 per cent
larger than in 1854, and 213 per cent more
than the average for 1937-40.
''NO government program yet devised
offers the flexibility the cattle and beef bust
ness needs to meet constantly shifting con-
ditions or to provide ever increasing service,
quality and economy to consumers" says
Don G. Collins, president of the American
N at ona / Cattlemen's Association CAL
though we appear to be just over the crest
of the current cattle population cycle, we
can hasten the meeting of supply and de-
mand by increased efforts at beef promo
ton, as well as by bringing numbers and
beef tonnage to a more reasonable level"
