Thousands of American women
in our homes are daily sacrificing
their lives to duty.
In order to keep the home neat
and pretty, the children well dressed
and tidy, women overdo. A female
weakness or displacement is often
brought on and they suffer in silence,
drifting along from bad to worse,
knowing well that they ought to
have help to overcome the pains and
aches which daily make lifea burden.

HARVEST IS in PROGRESS
Hum Of the Mower and Grain Binder Heard In
Many Sections Of Fergus Couny---Many
Fine Fields Of Grain to Be Seen.

On scores of Fergus county ranches
the hum of the hay mower and grain
binder is to be heard these August
days. Many ranchers are getting we'll
along toward the close with their hay
harvesting but the work of cutting the
wheat is just beginning in earnes ::
The weather has been ideal for this
kind of farm work Under the hot
sun, the hay cures rapidly and the
absence of the long desired rains gives
the rancher an opportunity to make
splendid progress with his grain har-
vesting.
Despite the more or less unfavor-
able season, there are hundreds of
acres Of fine wheat in Fergus county
this summer. In almost every in
stance in which the crop was sown
early last fell upon ground which had
been properly prepared, the yield will
not fall far short of the record break
ing output of last season. Instead OF
being a Encouragement, the present
dry season has established yet more
firmly in. the minds Of Fergus county
people the faith in the superior grain
producing qualities of our soil. It
has demonstrated that with deep
blowing, careful soil preparation and
early fall sowing, there need never be
any fears Of crop failure on the dry
lands of this county.

Long, David Hilger, Samuel Phillips
and F. P. Chandler, made an auto

tain foot hills and they. saw dozens Of
fields of wheat which will thresh from
20 to 40 bushels Of wheat per acre.
In speaking of this trip to the Dem
ocrat, DR.. Long said: "There will be
more wheat threshed in this coun-
ty than people imagine. The spring
wheat, of course, has suffered, but in

with one more misplay than the los
ers, their bobblcs came when little
damage could be done.
Not a run was scored for three in
nngs and the fans had settled down
for a shutout all along but in the
fourth the store boys got one man
around, They went out in order for
the next two innings but in the
seventh they added couple and piled
UP three more in the eighth.
Outside Of the pitching, there were
no startling plays. Smith and Carle-
ton did not give their fielders much
OF an opportunity to do sensational
stunts. Both boys were exceptionally
well supported behind the bat, L.
Smith and Davis taking everything
that came their way in fine style.
The gave was played in record
breaking time and though the umpir-
ing was somewhat saffron at times,
the players magnanimously refrained
from doing any great amount of kick
ing.

almost every case which has come
under my observation where the grain
was sown early, the result will be a
profitable crop.
81 have taken large number of
samples of the grain this year and find
them of uniformly excellent quality.
Much Of this grain is of better quality
than that raised last year and will un-
doubtedly command a top price on
the market this fall
Continuing, Dr. Long said: "There
will be an immense acreage of wheat
sown this year. Profting by the ex-
perience of this season, the ranchers
are going to get in their wheat be-
tween now and the middle of Sep,
tember this year. Thousands of acres
OF the ground is arleday prepared and
it is prepared as it should be. AS 3
result of this early sowing, there wiz
be record breaking crop of wheat
raised in Fergus county next year.
Judging from what I have seen in my
trips about the county and from what
I have heard from all sections, it is
my opinion that Fergus county will
have two million bushe1 grain crop
to thresh next fall. And from now
on, the acreage Of wheat will show
steady and rapid increase until Fergus
county will merit in every way the
title given it recently by Doctor
Shaw, the bread basket Of Mon
tana.'"

acted as secretary of the meeting.
Good Time for Visitors.
From the manner in which they
have started out, it is very evident
that the people of Lewistown and
vicinity intend to give the old timers
Of the Treasure State one of the
heartiest welcomes they have ever re-
ceived since they commenced to hold
these annual gatherings. There are a
number Of members Of the society
here in the county, all of whom intend
to use their every endeavor to make
pleasant the visit Of their comrades
Of the pioneer days. Those whose
residence in the state does not extend
back to that charmed period prior to
'68 will vie with the others in their
efforts to show the first settlers the
time of their eventful lives.
Lewistown, however, will not have
all the credit Of entertaining the
honored guests. The old time families
of Mrs. George Wiedcman, c. F.. Nc
koin, E. c. Abbott, Of Gilt Edge, and
others will be here to assist material
ly in making this one of the most
hospitable and successful celebrations
in the history of the Pioneer society.
