aeronautical chciefs go to northern
points to make final arrangements
for the trip.
Congressman French (Republican),
of Idaho, chairman of the house sub
committee on naval affairs, says;
"The Shenandoah accepted about
the most severe test that could be
conceived and she met it successfully.
Although there is a resolution pend
ing in the house calling on the navy
for information as to the reason for
the proposed flight, it is my opinion,
that the unscheduled test of the Shen
andoah in that great storm will be ac
cepted by congress as evidence of the
of the craft to undertake and
successfully accomplish the polar
voyage."
MAY CLAIM NEW
LAND FOR UNITED STATES
According to the navy claim, the
trip is not a clash for the pole. In
stead, it is simply following the policy
of the navy to explore. More than
one million square miles west of the
pole remain unexplored and still a
mystery. If the navy can clear up
this last geographical riddle it whll
add a new achievement to its list of
peace-time accomplishments.
Two main approaches are available
to the explorers. The Eastern course
via Greenland would be a hop-off of

Harrow, the northernmost point in
Alaska. A mooring mast will be built
<•
i Barrow.
The Shenandoah will be equipped
with radio with a broadcasting range
of more than 1,000 miles.
Reduced to briefest statements.
here are the four main objects of the »
expedition:
One—Conquest of the North Pole
by air, dreamed of by the late Ad
miral Peary, discoverer of the North
Pole.
Two—A trans-polar airship flight
from America to Spitzbergen.
Three—Exploration for the United
States, which may later claim it, of j
an Artie area of 1,000,000 square
miles, hitherto unknown to man.
Four—Observations of the phenom- ;
ena of the North Magnetic Pole.
Too Many Foreign Seeds
At a theshing rate of 7 cents per
bushels it is estimated that the farm
ers of the four states paid over $675,
000 for the threshing of their dockage
i
$860,000 for hauling the dockage to j
market. An investigation by the de- ,
partment of agriculture in 1921 show
ed that in Minnesota and the Dako
tas 96 per cent of the farmers visited
were drilling with their wheat from
1,000 to 500,000 foreign seeds per
1922, and that they paid around
in
1 these states who cleaned their wheat j
before marketing gained on an aver
age more than 5 cents per bushel,
.Secretary Wallace declared. "The j
| way f or f armerg 0 f a community to;
get the benefit which results from
, grading and mixing in the
local elevator is to
organize co-opera- j
^ivg elevators and to distribute prof
j on p a t rona g e dividend basis.
The appointment of each new see
! retary of agriculture has been the
; signal to send delegates to Washing
ton to ask for changes in the federal
j grain grades. Certain groups in the
spring wheat territory have long been
agitating a loosening up of the fed
e ral grades to give inferior wheat a
grade eqaal to that of good wheat. On
the other hand, producers of superior
an d clean wheat have felt that the
grades should be narrowed to exclude
altogther from the high grades wheat
with even a small percentage of for

peatedly urged to improve the quality
and condition of their grain to bring
it into the higher grades. This can be
done largely if producers will make
an earnest effort to remove the for-!

Saving of more than 7 cents

a bushel for the cost of cleaning, the
net gain to farmers was over 5 cents
a bushel.

There are a number of mines in the Bear Creek field and there is a
great deal of difference in the quality of the Coal from the various mines.
However it is all sold under the name of Bear Creek, and the prices at the
mine vary from 25c to $1.00 per ton, in order to sell their product.
The Montana Coal and Iron Company have promised to fill our orders
from what is known as the ''Old Smith Mine" and have asked us to ad
vertise this as "Smith Bear Creek.

Look underneath, too
N
O matter how proud you may be of the appearance of your
car—how careful you are to keep it washed and polished —
remember that "beauty is only skin-deep.
This winter, and along into early spring, especially after you have
traveled through stormy weather or over muddy roads, look under
neath , too. Proper attention to chassis parts—springs, spring
shackles, brake rods and linings, steering arms, the underside of
fenders, and other units exposed to the road — will add much to
the life and performance of your car. Ice and frozen mud, partic
ularly, should be promptly removed.
Lubrication of universal, transmission and differential should be
checked up and properly attended to, even more often than in
summer. The wear on these parts is perhaps greater in winter than
at any other time of the year. If heavy oil or grease acts sluggish,
guard against trouble by using a lighter grade.
The only worthwhile test of gasoline
Is one that will,definitcly indicate its range of volatility, the pro
portion of its low. intermediate and higher boiling-point fractions.
The distillation method is employed in such a test, and on the
results are based the U. S. Government specifications for gasoline.
Gasoline that meets these specifications is properly termed balanced
gasoline—the most efficient, economical fuel for the modern motor.
Year in and year out—winter and summer—CONOCO measures up
rigidly to these standards. In every sense of the word, CONOCO is
balanced gasoline—delivering full power at lowest cost per mile.
