A. Wicklund, living northwest Of
the city two miles, came very near
losing his house by fire last Friday
afternoon. Two grain stacks that
stood near by caught fire and burned
to the ground. The wind, which was
very high at the time, blew the flames
in the direction of the house and barn
and for time it looked as though Mr..
WickIund would lose all his buildings
By dint of hard work they were saved
however. Ashley creek being close at
hand furnished water to extinguish
the fire, but it was a pretty close call
too close fo- comfort.

THE FARM BOY
Some of the Advantages lie Has
Which the City Lad Does Not
Enjoy At All

''The boy born on the farm has rea-
SONS for being grateful. He is :Pt to
begin life with the heritage of health
uron which to build He is not iso-
lated as few decades ago. The pro-
babilitv is that the mail is brought to
his door, that there is available a tele-
phone service. The school within
reach is as good as the school of the
city, with better sanitation and a
better moral atmosphere. The amUse-
mcnts, simple as they may be, are
as instructive and as elevating as the
cheap theatres. Yet the boy, getting
to the age of liberty, leaves the farm
where he would have developed into
substantial citizen, and hurrries to
the city in which the chances are,
that he will attain no more Individual
ity, than one fly in a myriad swarm
When this boy arrives at ali age
OF more serious discretion, he regrets
that he elected to make bootless con-
quest of the city, but it is too late,
if he has been one of the exceptional
successes he may purchase the old
fam from the hands of strangers,
but if wealth has not crowned his
efforts, and generally, it has not, he
has to let the years pass while vainly
he yearns for the country that once
had seemed so dreary. He had want
ed to hear the clamor. of traffic in
stead of the songs of birds, the rustic
of ripening fields and the traffic has
become a deafening roar. He learns
to place new value on peace, to res
pect new standard of happiness.
But all this comes too late, when
strangers till the acres of his faith
ers.
There are farmers who make their
life narrow and hard, and to youth,
hateful. They fairly drive the boys
| away. There is no excuse for this
The farmer boy is entitled to his va
cations, to reasonable hours, his
social relaxations, his visits to the
city. But among the many thousands
OF boys, who have been impelled to-

SIMPLE HOME REMEDY

What will appear very interesting
tc many people here is the article
taken from New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, which is
said to be positive remedy for back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounces;
Compund Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this pre-
scription, stated that the ingredients
are all harmless, and can be obtained
at small cost from any good pre-
scription pharmacy, Or the mixture
would be put up if asked to do so.
He further stated that while this pre-
scriptiOn is often prescribed in rheu-
matte afflictions with splendid results
he could see no reason why it would
not be a splendid remedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache, as
it has peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most
important organs and helping them to
sift and filter from the blood the
foul acids and waste matter which
cause sickness and suffering. Those
o, our readers who suffer can make
nc mistake in giving it trial.

+ Professional and business men, far

unusual opportunity on October 18th,
when Uncle Sam will sell to the nigh

in two of the Government townsites
on the Fort Shaw unit of the Sun
River irrigation project, Montana.
| This unit of the Sun River project
is situated little west of the center
of the safe, obout 25 miles from
Great Falls. The system when COM
pleted, will provide for the reclamation
of about 276,000 acres of fine farming
land. Throughout the whole project
the farm village idea will be carried
out, towns being established TT in
tervals of about six miles. Water is
now available for about 10000 acres
OF, the Fort Shaw Unit and the land
is being taken up rapidly.
! On this tract the Fort Shaw and
Simms townsites have been laid out
with wide streets, boulevards and
parks and extensive lreas for pubic
buildings. The lots will be sold ct
auction for cash, and there are lots
enough 60 that each farmer if ne de-
sires, may purchase lot in town,
and after having secured title to lis
farm can live there where nc cal
enjoy the social and commercial ad-
vantages incident to town life. If he
cares to live on the farm, he vi
still be within three miles from the
graded school, store, churches, cream
cries, etc. . Many of the lots contain
several acres and are suitable for
dairying, poultry raising, or trut
| farming.

demand for all sorts of supplies, and
all kinds of industries, and to tle

| AS the agricultural lands have
been cut in farms of 40 and so acres
this project will become densely
populated agricultural community. 1t
prosperity is assured by the unfailing
water supply which will be-, furnish
ed by government canals and bitches,
and this prosperity will be reflected
the. substantial growth and success
OF the towns which are being estab-

AS Montana's chief industries have
been mining and stock raising, it fol-
lows that its population has subsisted
mainly ON imported food products,
ard it will be many years before the
supply of home grown food stuffs will

little towns will become the farmers
