New Postal rules and regula- tions require that weekly „papers sent to subscribers who are in arrears more than a year on their subscriptions must bear a one cent postage, amounting to 52 cents a year. Subscribers who do not want that amount added to the regular subscrip- tion price of their paper will see to it that all arrearages are promptly paid. '4%.11.11011\1101.101 MORE DAYLIGHT warm,. More daylight, at the close of the day's business is what some people on both sides of the Atlan- tic are clamoring for at present. The British parliament is wrest- ling with the question, and a bill now before it having that in view purposes to attain it by turning the clock ahead one hour. The movement has Wien root in Amer- ica and the National Daylight Association is advocating it, and many of the newspapers are print- ing columns of matter to work up a 'sentiment in favor of it. \The propofed arrangement as advo- cated by the National Daylight Association in this country, say,s the Scientific American,\ is that from and after 9 o'clock in the morning of the first day of May in each year, until 2 o'clock on the morning of the first day of October, the standard rtinve shall be one hour in advance of the time now in 'use.\ This turning of the clock forward and back- ward may accomplish the desired result, but it still remains a fact that Old Sol will continue, to do business in the seine old way and that twlight will come and go just as it has for thousanis of years. It doesn't seem to have occured to any of those who are so stuck on securing more day- light at the lattes end of the day for rest and recreation that the same result could be obtained by simply getting up. and opening business places, and starting up mills and workshops one hour earlier in the morning and closing one hour eirlier ot.night. And whether the clocl is or is not turned forward, it will be neces- sary to begin business an hour earlier in order to get an extra hour of daylight in the evening, unless the day's worieja lessened by one hour. Because the chief of police of Findlay, Ohio, imagined he was Rockefeller and wanted to buy all the automobiles he saw, the pro- bate judge has adjudged the man insane. If lie had had the money he would not have been thought crazy. It Pays to know How. The \old-timer\ says dry land farming is a failure except in oc- casional good years, says the Mis- soula Montanan, This is chiefly because land greed has led men to spread over more territory than they can till well. 11 know a farm- er in Montana who was nearly \all is\ so far as credit and ex- pectation of paying for his land went. He was getting 12 to 15 bushels of wheat per acre and not quite paying expenses on 2,000 acres of bench land. Three years ago he did not know whether his creditors were going to let him go on or sell him out. He got a Campbell's soil culture manual, studied it, bought more horses and harrows and began to follow its teachings. In 1907 he got 50 . bushels of winter wheat per acre on 700 acres and in 1908 he got 46 bushels per acre on 800 acres, and made $14,000 above expensea. Pour barrowings lest May and June increased his crop 16 bushels per acre over that of his neighbor who followed Campbell up to that point but hadn't the nerve to drag his young grain. He at- tributed his success to thorough- ness, in conservation of moisture, preparation of seed bed, and har- rowing his grain in the spring. The old method: Plowing to it depth of two or three inches, leaving the ground to dry out or grow weeds, carless seeding and neglect do not merit success. nor is success likely with that style of farming on unirrignteci lands. Dry land farming in order to succeed, weans better farming. Where the work is done intelli- gently and diligently and at the right time there .are too many shining examples of splendid harv- ests on Montana dry lands to war- rant the opinion that they can not be successfully farmed. To make these lands produce good crops observe these points: 1. Water is essential. 2. You can store water by til- lage. 3. Seven to ten inches more water is found beneath a surface which has been summer tilled than beneath an unfilled surface adjoin- ing. 4. Plow five or au x inched deep. 5. Harrow immediately after plowing before the furrows dry out. G. Keep a dust mulch by har- rowing during the summer. Don't let weeds grow and waste the soil water. 7. Harrow the grain in the spring. --Campbell's Scientific Farmer. Dedicate Masonic Temple. Le w Wow n, — Two hundred members of the Masonic order froni every part of the state par- ticipated in the dedication of the new Masonic temple at this place. The temple has just been com- pleted at a cost of more tharr$50,- 000. It is a three-story building of native stone, with the lodget rooms on the third floor. The new lodgerooms are elegantly furnished. The grand lodge was opened at 11 o'clock Monday by Grand Master C. B. Nolan of Helena. Dedication exercises were held at the temple at '2 o'clock. A banquet, at which 300 guests were entertained, was held in the evening on the second floor of the temple. H. A. Moulton of Lew istown was toastmaster. Iatrge delegations were present from Helena, Billings, Butte, White Sulphur Springs, Miles City and other cities of the state. Which Would You Rather Be? \One little old black skunk, not as big as a jack rabbit, can stink up a band of a thousand sheep, and then trot off with its tail over its back. In like manner one long tonguq, one lying gossiper, can stir up a whole town and besmirch the fairest characters in it, and trot off unharmed. Of the two we'd rather be the skunk, for the gossiper is sure to go to hell, but the skunk won't.\ ---Forsyth Times. Butte Band Wins Prize.' The Boston and Montana Band, of Butte, captured the $1,250 cash prize for the best band in the Elks' parade at the annual meet- ing of the grand lodge in San Francisco, the second prize going to Ottumwa, Iowa. Butte was al- so awarded the prize for the most beautiful banner. Pettokui Botta. The chemists of the Standard Oil conipany, it is. said, have discovered a way to wake butter out of petroleum, and a plant is to be established at once in New for the manufacture of the pro- duct. The process is thus de- scribed: \The oil is converted into . a kind of milk, which is said to possess a larger percentage of butter fat than COW'S milk. This petroleum milk is thee run thru high-speed separators and the butter fat is ex- tracted.\ The Spokesman Review 8148: \The alchemist's dream of cluing - log baser metals into gold lacks interest beside the modern chem- ist's achievements in extracting useful commercial products from petroleum and coal tar. The full range of these products is doubtless a long way from being attained, and the wonder is that many of them site so different from the original material.\ Speaking of the new petroleum product, the St. Louis Post -Dis- patch says: \From petroleum we get axle grease and phenacetine, dyestuffs and monopoly, vaseline and philanthropy, benzine, kero- sene, gasoline, billionaires. re- atraint of trade, pipe lines, tank ships, tank cars tank wagons, Sunday schools, sermons and commercial precedents. So why not butter?\ And if they can get milk and butter from petroleum, a by not cheese, beefsteak and leather? Then all that will be left of the poor old cow will be the hoofs and horns. Fatally Shot by Own Reyolver. Bozeman, - Edward McCoy was accidentally shot about 3 o'clock Monday morning at Logan, as he was getting off the train after beating his way from Whitehall. He carried a revolver in his inside cost pocket and this dropped out when he got off the train. As it fell it was discharged and the bul- let entered his right side. coning out at the base of his soldier. He was brought here this afternoon by Dr. Ragsdale. lie was in a semi -conscious condition most of the day. • At times he was ration- al for a few minutes and during these intervals he informed the doctor that lie was a common hobo and had no funds. He said lie had a brother living in Chicago who was a blacksmith. McCoy died Tuesday morning. . Give Your Wife the Profit. Florence tlw actor once advised a friend as follows: “My Dear : One gallon of whiskey costs al out $3 and con- tains about cilflity-five 15 -cent drinks. Now, if you must drink, buy a gallon nod make your wife the barkeeper. When you are dry give her fifteen cents for a drink. When the whiskey. is gone she will have, after paying for it, $6.75 left, and every gallon thereafter will yield the same profit. This money she should' put away, so that when you have become an inebriate, unable to support youmdf and are shunned by every respectable man, your wife may have money enough to keep you until your time has come to fill a drunkard's grave.\ BARGAINS, Whitehall, Mont.

As the clues of Pompeii and list' eulaneum were discovered by digging a well, so the most prehistoric rock wall in the United States was discov- ered In 1857 by a farmer who now lives In Rockwell, Tex., says the New Orleans Picayune. But whether hi that portion which is surrounded by this wall Is a Pompeii or for what pur. pose it was built has never been as- certained up to the present. Here antihero portiens of the wall are exposed at distances of several yards. Even in some places it is coy. erred up for a mile or two. One di/ a farmer, not knowing that the wall was there, dug a sell along the side of this wall 30 feet deep. Near the bottom of his well he discovered an arched opening, which was IWO by three feet. This opening has been soon by several of the in. habitants of Rockwell, and it is be. 'hived this must have been used as an entrance late the wall. The bot tom of the wall was not reached at a depth of 30 Net. This has been the only opening ever found, boceuse the wall has never been exposed, except last fall, when two young men of Rockwell dug about the wall flys feet in width and about the same In delith. This gave one a goo.i idea of the wall. The rock were nicely laid with abridged joints in regular fash. loot, but the substance betiveeu them war not mortar, but clay. A closer examination reveals no sign of any hard ,tpol used upon the rocks, and no doubt wooden mallets were used to give them their sizes. cost the east side of the wall the rock Is smooth, while on the west it is rough. They are all composed of sandstone, with streaks of mica and pebbles of Iron. lt is said that in the cut rounding regions no rock can be found similar to this, except In the chimneys and wells which the farm- ers own. The rocks at the opening found are from two to six feet long, three feet wide and two feet thick An effort was made to bring some of them to the surface by the men who dug the well, but they found the test too diMeult. On top tbe rocks are much smaller, running about 18 inches long. three Inches thick and eight inches wide. The farmers claim that tht wall Is about II miles long, and they know exactly Its course. There is no doubt that this Is the most prehistoric wall In the United States, and so far as known, the Smith. simian institution of Washlegton, D. C., has never made any effort to ex- pose the length and width of the wall or give any explanation of Its origin. \ Ths Emerson . College Men Much credit must be given to the college man as a leader in the procession of fashionable dressers. He's bright and youth- ful and wants to show it in the clothes he wears. His ideas have been admirably interpreted by Strauss Brothers, Master Tailors, Chicago. In both fabrics and fashions, they show many creations that make (or the originality sought by the college man. You may not number yourself with the \college boys\ but that's no reason why you shouldn't enjoy the college spirit in your clothes. Don't fail to see the collection of dashingly beautiful fabrics we are now showing. It's worth your while to can whether you order or not. II. H.

Tillt MODESTY OF VICTOR HIAM Great French Poet and Author Was Aware of His Own Merit, K. Capponl, the \doyen- of the ital Ian oewspaper correspondents at Paris is publishing hls reminiscences. One of his best stories relates to Victor Hugo, on whose eightieth birthday he called to present the homage of the foreign press: \We entered (he writes) and found Victor Hugo_ seated in • great arm- chair, as on a throne, surrounded by bis literary court, lie welcomed us with a kindly smile lighting up his robust face, framed In a thick, white beard. I felt a little nervous, but, col- lecting my courage, recited the corn. plirnent I heti so carefully rehearsed. I told him that the correspondents of the foreign newspapers wished to as- sociate themselves in the sansage which the entire French mili t ia was paying to him as the greatest living poet and the greatest living author. Victor Hugo, when I had finished, took 'bold of my arm and said, giving It • !friendly squeeze: 'I am quite of your Opinion.' \And we withdrew,\ M. rapponi concludes, \only too pleased to think that Victor Hugo shared our opinion of his merits.\ Divisions of Colorado Land.
