Mali Advert!*»* lanMliii« PUBLISHED MACS THURSDAY AT BELT, MONT., BT S. A. REMINGTON The time has come, the Walrus said. To talk of many things— Oftsailing ships and sealing wax And cabbages and kings. Not many days since a friends was kidding the editor about the jumps his editorials made from spuds to baseball, from gov ernment policies to kerosene oil. Another party called up ann in sinuated that we were a worthy member of the Ananias club be cause while he did buy some potatoes from Mr. Black in 1893, fit was from Gus Siegling of Upper Belt that he bought them in 1903 and in 1918 he bought some from Phin Irving on Box Elder. He did not mix his potatoes in the same bin because in the winter of 1902-3 he had "et up" every darned potato and had to buy some for the table as well as for seed. Since then we have been looking for a safe sphere for our editorial vaporing«. We have thought of the waters of Belt creek but that is such a dirty subject. We have thought of prohibition but after quiz zing some of our friends on the subject we find that the meaning of the word is hardly understood. We have thought of bank fail ures as a topic were being contempt by the grand jury. The dumping of ashes in the street has been a favorite topic in the past but when we suggested recently that a man ought to be tarred and feathered for his first offense and set to work ori the road for his second, we were greeted thusly, "where do you expect a man"to put his ashes anyway ?* He can't keep them in hia front room. If you dump them in the back yard your wife kicks because they blow on her clean clothes on wash day and be sides it costs money to get them hauled away. We shut up. How much nicer it is to have all the ashes dumped securely in the street in front of your neighbor's door where only in case of excessively high summer winds will they elude your neighbor's living room and sift through the screen into yours. The proper procedure is for everyone to dump his ashes where he darned pleases and then take up^i subscription list among those upon whom you can exert some friendly pressure to finance the operation of some sprinkling cart during the summer. The athletic field some say should be fenced. Maybe it ought to be but far be it from us to suggest that anyone in Belt would attend a ball game and refuse to pay. There isn't any such ani mal here, and it must be that only in case of the visit of large numbers of our neighbors could sue!) a thing happen. These same neighbors live so far away that it is much safer for the editor to east this vile insinuation against them than it would be to suggest that anyone in Belt would do such a thing. Belt is going to have a sure 'nuf ball team. Never doubt it and let us just imagine the fun we are going to have scrapping with our neighbors over the hill about the respective merits of our teams and the damnable one-sidedness of the other fellow's um pire. A Stockett fan recently told us that while Rachac had been called to Portland they had filled his place with Hoyt of the New York Yankees .with Urban Faber and Coveleski as subs. The only thing for Belt to do is to get Babe Ruth, Sisler and Roger Hornsby in our batting line up. Now some of our readers will take all the joy out of life by suggesting that Belt hasn't got the money. What do you know about that ? We were going to write an editorial on "Spring, Beautiful Spring" but the local weather prophet announced the other day that we should have no spring this year but that immediately af ter March 20th we would have hot summer weather, f Wat'elL ■ ; • • r —t ■g-! i.

B HOFFMAN Under Sheriff (Published March «, iS and 20,Jit4)^ NEW FRD TRUCK ON MARKET The Ford Motor company enters the new year with a new product, an ■II steel combination track body and cab mounted on the standard Font One Ton chassis to 0b sold as a com plete unit. -■■■•■, ■ -V- - ■' The new body is of the open /ex press type, so constructed that it may be readily converted into other body combinations by using stakes, side boards, canopy top, screen sides, etc. "In fact," says the Ford statement, "the purpose in producing the new body was to place a low cost general utility track, meeting both agricul tural and commençai requirements, at the disposal of ton truck users." < The body is built of steel to with stand the most severe usage and pre sents a new development in constrc tion. The steel sills are reinforced with wood in order to lessen vibra tion and road shocks, thus making for more durability and longer life. The loading space is seven feet two inches in length, by four feet in width*and of convenient and practical depth. The end gate is strongly braced and secured by heavy chains which hold it in position when lowered. The cab, also of steel construction, is extra roomy. The seat is of arti inch springs. 'Protection from the weather is afforded by close fitting door curtains mounted on uprights and opening and closing with the door. An oblong window in the back of the cab gives ample facilities for rear vision, adding to the .sifety as well as the convenience of the driver. The new truck which is already on display in many Ford dealers' show rooms throughout the country, sells corhplete with steel cab and body for $490 f. o. b. Detroit, being priced in accordance with the standard Ford policy. In addition to the saving offered to truck users in thjs body, is the con venience of now being able to buy the Ford Ton Truck complete and ready to put into service. !

Urging larger use of locally pro duced sugar, the Cowley, Wyo., Prog ress says: "The appalling fact comes to light that the American people in 1923 took $260.000,000 from the Amer ican farmers and paid it to Cuban cane sugar producer*. And then we wonder why the American farmer is not more prosperous! Making a home market for beet sugar is the most practical way of helping the farmer get more money for his sugar beets which in turn will farmers to become 1 encodage more beçt çrowera.''
