Up in the early morning.
Just at the break of day.
Straining the milk in the dairy
Turning the cows away;
Sweeping the floor in the kitchen
Making the beds upstairs.
Washing the breakfast dishes,
busting the parlor chairs.
CHORUS.

gay.
We sing Of the farmers girl,
Hurrah! how merry the lay we earn,
today.
OF the merry farmers girl.
Hunting for eggs at the barn.
Hunting for egsg at the barn.
Cleaning the turnips for dinner.
Spinning the stocking yarn:
Spreading the whitening linen
Down on the grass below,
Ransacking every meadow
Where the red Strawberries grow
CHORUS.
Starching the "fixin's" for sunday
Churning the snowy cream.
Rinsing the pals and the strainers
Down in the running stream,
Feeding the geese and the turkeys.
Making the pumpkin pies.
Jogging the littel ones cradle,
Driving away the flies.
CHORUS.
Grace is in every motion.
Music in every tone,
Beauty Of form and feature.
Thousands might covet to own:
Cheeks that rival spring roses.
Teeth the whitest of pearls.
One Of these country maids is worth
a score Of your city girls.

AGAINST LEASING.

While the cattlemen at their recent
annual meeting in Miles City. went
On record as in favor of the bill for
the leasing of public lands. the Wool
growers association which met at
the same time, took just the opposite
position. The following resolution
was almost unanimously endorsed by
those in attendance:
Resolved, That in the judgment of
this association any plan which may
be adopted by the federal government
for the leasing of public lands in the
state of Montana can only result in
the monopoly of this land by large
combinations of cattle, thereby exclud-
ing the small stock owners from the
range stock business and the settlers
from coming in to develop the coun.
try; and that the greatest good to the
greatest number Of people actually
engaged in the sheep business in the
state of Montana, is in every respect
opposed to the enactment of any fed.
eral law for the leasing of public lands.

atOrs and representatives in congress
to oppose the enactment of any law

to exceed 100 acres in area and not
exceeding one mile in length. at the
expiration of sixty days from the fill
ing of a list of such lands open TO en-
try in the land office of the district

tiers upon lands chiefly valuable for
agriculture within forest reserves on
January first. nineteen hundred and
six. who have already exercised or
lost their homestead privilege, but are
otherwise competent to enter lands
under the homestead laws, are hereby
granted an additional homestead right
of entry for the purposes of this act
only, and such settlers must otherwise
comply with the provisions of the
homestead law, and in addition there
to must pay two dollars and fifty
cents per acre for lands entered under
the provisions OF this section, such
payment to be made at the time OF
making final proof on such lands"
Other features Of the bill give the
mode of procedure for the entrymef
and provide for the protection of the
government

Will prove boon to settlers in thOs,

extensive areas have been set asid

have made their reputation until new
banks have made a reputation for
soundness and conservatism.
A new bank should be treated as
probationer. The public should have
no intimate relations with it until 9th
er financial institutions give evidence
that they think it can be trusted. Ii
they, instead of taking the new bank
into the fold, turn the cold shoulder
on it, prudent men will do likewise.
After numerous sad experiences the
people ought to be filled with sus-
picon when new and untried men vol
unteer to take charge of their money.
Suspicion should be intensified when
extra inducements are held out to
them. A high interest rate is attract
i've, but it is dangerous. If a man
whose savings are in a solid, substan-
tlal bank which pays per cent is in
vited to transfer his account to some
new bank which offers or per cent,
he should investigate before making a
change. If he finds that per cent is
the prevailing rate of trustworthy
banks he should say to himself that
the 4 per cent is bait which hides
hook.
Savings bank depositors are often
invited to draw out their money and
buy with it gilt edged securities"
which will pay them twice the interest
rate they are getting. If they leave
their money in the banks they can
get it when they want it, The Interest
is small but certain. If they buy the
securities which have a tempting in
terest rate they will not be able to
get their money when they want it,
and may not get it at all.

too distrustful of the generous bank

CURLING Great Fortunes.

A thought which has long been run
ming through many conservative minds
was given expression yesterday by
President Roosevelt when he said:
las matter of personal conviction
and without pretending to discuss the
details or formulate the system, feel
that we shall ultimately have to con-
slider the adoption of some such
scheme as that of progressive tax
on all fortunes beyond certain
amount, either given in life or divid-
ed or beQueathed upon death to any
individual-a tax so framed as to put
it out of the power of the owner of
one of these enormous fortunes to
hand more than a certain amount to
any one Individual"
When the founders of this govern.
ment framed it's constitution there
were not in America any very great
fortunes-no great fortunes at all in
personal property. 1t was then be-
lieved that by casting overheard the
English principle of primogeniture
and the law of entail, a sufficient bull
wark had been reared against the op.
preston of vast estates and enormous
wealth.
For nearly 100 years the develop.
ments of our history bore out this con.
victiOn. 1t was the prevailing exper.
fence that with few exceptions large
fortunes amassed by the financial and
business genius of individuals soon
crumbled away upon the death of their
builders through the incapacity or
spendthrift character of their heirs
So universal was this experience that
it became automatic that there was
only "One generation between shirt
sleeves and shirt sleeves" In more
recent decades, however, ways have
been found to perpetuate and protect
great fortunes from these disintegrat.
ing influences. To this end skilled
lawyers have wracked their clever
brains. and the growth Of trust com.
panies has been stimulated by the
growing desire of wealthy families to
perpetuate their "dynasties.'
President Roosevelt's suggestion
while advanced in tentative way
will provoke widespread discussion
and will undoubtedly be the means
of increasing a growing public de
mand for a stiff inheritance tax,
