The Great, Falls Ad club will father,

against fradulent and misleading adver

which it is a member, and which is now
operating in 22 states of the union.
The form of the law will be consid

be presented to the legislature by Har

"The work of the law is constructive

LESS FREIGHT

IS ASKED FOR
Conversion Into Cash of Mon

Immediate conversion into r-asli of
Montana's immense tonnage of surplus
hay is the ultimate objective of a move
ment now under way with the Cascade
County Farm Bureau and the. Great
Falls Commercial club for a ."i<> per cent
commodity rate on hay from all stations
in the state to points west of the moun

of one-half the present freight charges

the state, but Agent MacSpadden states

said Agent MacSpadden Wednesday, "and
both departments are peculiarly situated

Petition for Reduction Filed.
The bureau and the club have filed wth
General Traffic Agent .T. F. Pewters of
the Great Northern railway a petition
for the desired reduced rate and the mat
ter is now under consideration at St.
Paul with headquarters officials. A de
cision on the request is expected in time
to permit the loading of hay early in Jan
uary if the rate is allowed. Xo estimate
present range of prices and freight rates,
there are now in the state huge stores of
potential wealth in the form of hay, but
which will not be moved to a,ny extent
unless a way is found to make it more
valuable. If half the freight charges can
be cut off, I believe that tens of thou
sands of tons of Montana hay would be
at once converted into money.
Hay Market Needed.
"There have been and will be no sales
of hay or livestock within the state this
winter. Farmers with cattle have enough
hay to see them through, and others
with hay but no cattle will not invest in
livestock so long as market conditions
and money conditions remain as now.
, This leaves all of the surplus hay seeking

enough for it both to the east and the

Five Townships Would Join Cas

Informed.
Residents of five Chouteau county
townships which adjoin Cascade county
on the northeast will attempt to have
their territory annexed to Cascade conn
ty by legislative enactment, according to
information furnished the board of coun
ty commissioners Wednesday by Dan Mc
Kay. Mr. McKay has been retained by
interested parties to represent them at
Helena and a legal description of the
land involved is now being prepared. The
towns of Ilighwood and Walt ham would
be moved into Cascade county if the
lines are changed as proposed.
Twenty-six townships located farther
north in Chouteau county at first joined
iii the movement for annexation to Cas
cade, according to .Mr. McKay, but owing
to the development of opposition these
were dropped out. Townships which
propose to come in are 20 north of
ranges 8 and it east: -2 north of ranges
7 and 8 east; portions of 21 north of
ranges Ö, T and 8 east, a>nd a portion
of 22, north of range 6 east. None of

Defer Accident Case
for Interpretation
of City Traffic Law
• «
The case of John Novetny and Sam
Muyer. (barged with reckless driving by
J. G. Pierce, proprietor of a second hand
store at 109 Third street south, was
postponed Wednesday by Police Judge
Kalian until this (Thursday) afternoon
at 3 o'clock to permit City Attorney La
Rue Smith to be present at the triai to
interpret the city traffic ordinance.
Judge Raban says that there is no pro
vision in the present city traffic ordi
nance to cover the case. One of the
men was coming out of an alley when
the two cars crashed and broke a win
dow in Pierce's store. There is. accord
ing to Judge Raban, no provision in the
ordinance stating which car has the right
of way when one is coming from an alley.
Pierce charges that the plate glass
window broken by the auto crash wir
worth about $100 and asks damages, but
before the ease can go to justice court
to permit him to get damages it must
first be tried in police court to see if
the me« were guilty of reckless driving.
