Fossil Amber Fountf
W. R. Davis, who lives four *
little south of east of Garber, is dig
ging a well near the big spring on his
place where the fossil bones of a mam-
moth were found embedded in the sand
from which the spring issues, away
back not long after the opening, or
abaut twenty years ago. Dr. Taft had
the fossil bones on exhibition for some
time, but as they were not preserved
by any coating to protect them from
the air, they soon slacked into dust.
They were by far the largest fossil
bones ever found in this country and
must have been the remains of the
very largest of that specie. In the
well now being dug, Mr. Davis is tak-
ing out chunks of fossil amber. It is
just like resin, he says, and it is cer-
tainly amber.

As all acquainted with him know,
Lowson is a powerfully built man and

While his son, is of the same type and
bui'd, he has not reached his mature
strength, while his father's strength
has not begun to wan.
For thii reason the test was soon de-

jocular crowd gathered around to wit-

a rooster to indicate the completeness

Idle Dreams
Senator Reed says disarmament is an
idle dream. Continuing the senator
says we must have lower taxes.
If disarmament is an idle dream, so
is the lowering of taxes. So is a reason-
gble cost of living. So is equitable disj

World. So is peac£ jSo Is the pefrrtan-

Announcement
Mr. Edsel B. Ford, president of the
Ford Motor company, gives out the
following statement:
"Another reduction has been made
in the list price of all types of Ford
cars and the Ford truck to take effect
immediately. The list of prices f. o. b.
Detroit, are now as follows:
Touring .$415.00
Runabout 370.00
Coupe. 695.00
Sedan 760.00
Chassis. 345.00
Truck-Chassis 495.00
Tractor 625.00
"The big reductions last fall were
made in anticipation of low material
costs which we are now getting the
benefit of, and this fact together with
increased manufacturing efficiency and
the unprecedented demand f°r ford
card, particularly duriff the pf st three
Rionth3 permitting maximum produc-
tion, have made another price reduc;
tion possible immediately.
"Ford business for April and May,
1921, was greater by 56,633 cars and
trucks than for the same two months in
1920; in fact the demand hai been even
greater than the supply, so that our
Butput has been limited, n9t by unfilled
Crders but by manufacturing faciliti#*.
"During May we produced 101,424
cars and trucks for sale in the United
idle drsam. And
ahead will bfi' filled with nightmares.
Idle enough, perhaps, but very lurid. '
Taking all of these things into con-
sideration, we shall continue to hope
that Senator Reed is wrong, and that
dreaming of disarmament may not be
altogether futile.—Wichita Eagle.

"The Fordson tractor is still being
sold at less than the cost to produce on
account of the recent big price reduc-
tions, and it is impossible, therefore, to
make any further eat in the price of
the tractor."

Struck Oil
Marland No. 1, in the northeast cor-
ner of nel6-24-lw, nine miles northeast
of Billings, struck oil, sometime Satur-
day. It is cased off and no estimate
has been secured to give the amount it
will yield, but it is thought by some
that it is good for 1,000 or 1,500 barrels.
Some of our Garber boys have
secured leases on a large amount of
surrounding acreage that may be valu-
able.

A quantity of second-hand lumber;

PTHO BARER,
37-tf At Plftn'ng MUJ?
We would like to inquire of our read-
ers whether or not, in their opinion, we
are having more rainfall during the
summer season, than in the years of the
D88t? The increased Irigatioh in tha
arid portion Cf the westefh plains and
in the valleys of the mountains in
which the snow waters are largely held
in storage and spsead out over the fer-
tile acres, to evaporate into the air that
had always, i.. the past, been free irom
moisture; such changes that have be-
come most pronounced, is it not having
a corresponding effect on our climate?
If drouth periods are finally eliminated
in all the semi-arid west, during the
summer months, and our farms can be
benefited by a rotation of crops and the
soil built up to a desired standard, this
would become a great home country
and would easily support millions more
in future population.
