Passenger Trains on
6. N. Not Runninq

Train service on the main line
of the Great Northern has been
disrupted this week by the flood.
ing of the kOOtcnia river in
western Montana. which has
made the tracks west of Boomers
Ferry. Idaho. unsafe for use, and
all transcOntinental trains are
temporarily being routed over
Northern Pacific tracks between
Drumm0nd and Sand Point. with
regular trains between llavre
and Sand Point. Idaho. out of
service on the main line until
flood waters reccde.
Temporary service is being
maintained as far west as White
fish as of Thursday morning. to
the west. but there arc no pas
scngcr trains scheduled going
east. Train No. 3. the west
bound Western Star passenger
train. went through Thursday
morning. but no trains are
scheduled going east.
The KOotcnai river flood is
said to be the worst in history.
with the worst damage occurring
near Boomers Ferry. The k0Oten.
al river flows down from Can.
ada into Montana to a point east
of Libby. then flows west to a
point a few miles west of Bon.
ncrS Ferry. and then changes its
course nOrthward. going back
into Canada where il helps to
form the hcadwatcrs of the Co.
lumbia river. At Boomers Ferry
where the nOrthward bend oc.
ours there is a large tract of rich
farming land consisting of sew.
eral thousand acres. which is
inundated when the river over.
flows its banks. II is at this
point the railway tracks are
threatened. causing the suspen.
sion of service until the danger
period is over. The river was
reported to be still rising Thurs.
day morning. being four inches
higher than the day before. with
no relief in sight.
During the winter there was a
heavy snow pack all through the
mountainous country drained by
the KOOtcnai. and the unscasOn.
ably warm weather of the past
ten days has resulted in a rapid
run.Off of water. causing the
floods.
Some places in western Mon.
tana have also been affected by
the spring run.0ff. which usually
occurs later in the year. some
time in June. The Flathead
river and its tributaries are
threatening damage at kalispell.
Hungry Horse dam. which holds
back the flood water Of the
South Fork of the Flatkcad. Is
helping the situation in western
Montana. Other places west Of
the mountains are reporting
some flooding. but no serious
damage has occurred so far.

Local HoIs4ein
Top Milk Producer

The Holstein- Friesian Associat-
ion of America, Brattleboro, Ver-
mont, has announced the complet-
ion of an official production record
by a registered Holstein cow own
ed by M. F. Dellinger & Co., Plain
City. The Cow Manfdell Burke
Posch Sylvia 3371682, produced
total of 13,472 lbs. milk and 524
lbs. butterfat as a 4-year-old Milk
ed twice daily for 342-days, she
averaged 19 quarts of milk a day
throughout her testing period.
Ohio State University supervis-
ed the weighing and testing of this
record which is a part of the Herd
Improvement Registry of The Hol-
STEIN Friesian Association of Amer
lea. The program provides indivi-
dual lactation and lifetime produc-
ton records on every registered
Holstein COW in participating herds.
Such records are valuable tools in
the constant selection of indivi-
duals, families and bloodlines so
important to successful dairy cat
tie breeding.

Prepaid Tax Rise
Noted In County;
Still Below 1855

Prepaid sales tax receipts in
Madison County during the week
ending August IS, totaled $6,417.-
86. This was considerable in
crease over the same period last
year of SIS, 1864. The cumulative
total for 1856 is now SIS, $40. 80.
This is under the last years fig
ure for the same date which was
$64, ,4S1.19.
State Treasurer Roger w. Ira
cey said, overall, last week regis
tered big increase over the pre-
vious week. The sales tax revenu-
es of $3.50, 1856 from the sale of
prepaid tax receipts for the week
ending August 25, 1856 were with
in $45, $50, or 1.23 per cent of the
revenues of S3,655, ,846 which were
reported for the corresponding
week ended August 27, 1855.
BY comparison with the collec-
tions of $3,015, 1897 for the same
week in 1854, the current weeks
total exceeded that of two years
ago by 1894 ,949, or 1872 per cent.
On a cumulative basis since last
July /, when the current fiscal
year began, the grand total col
lections, which include prepaid
tax receipts, use tax and other col
lections, amounted to 32,832, ,122
on Aug. 25, 1856.
State Treasurer Tracy said that
this figure was ST, ,o39, 1863, or 3.07
per cent, below the overall tax
collections of $33, 1886 which
were registered for the correspon-
ding period of the previous fiscal
year on August q, 1855.

Parents Urged To
Let Children Help

Parents should allow children to
help with the daily food prepara-
ton to stimulate their homemaking
interest, says Irene Metz, extension
nutritionist for The Ohio State Un-
iversity.
Sharing in the responsibilities of
getting the meal ready is normal
part of child's education. Parents
should encourage their children to
set the table, prepare the vegeta-
bles, dry dishes, and help with the
simpler tasks of cooking, suggests
the home economist
Children will occasionally bring
home simple recipes from school.
1t is wise to let them prepare these
dishes with a minimum of assist
ance to help them feel at home in
the kitchen.
Sometimes it is helpful to let the
children plan the family menu.
They will enjoy meals they have
helped plan, adds Miss Metz. If
parents show appreciation toward
children's efforts, they will try
harder to please.
The home economist suggests ar
ranging for the children to have a
garden of their own. This response
bility will give them a chance -
become familiar with a few basic
food groups.
Miss Metz explains that children
should be taught to eat a large
variety of foods, beginning with a
small portion of unfamiliar foods.
No more than one unusual food
should be served to a child during
q meal
