expert and my Job from day TO day and
week to week as long as the season lasts
consists In teaching the society beauty how
to smile.
TT was all very well I'm the Amanda
dayb, when novelists wrote Of the pensIve
beauty, for then a woman could look grave
or gay. But In these near-l9lO days a
beauty must smile. In vivaclty she must
excel the French woman and in wit the
Irish girl. She must smile, smile, smile.
But her smile must be ever varied.
MY job Is to teach smiling as a fine art.
I call my work the poetry Of the smile, and
when l am through with my pupils they
are ready to acknowledge that they can
smile. Before that they were merely trying
to look pleasant
"A smile demands certain things as d be-
ginning. First may be mentioned good
teeth. Good eyes are Of some assistance,
and the right kind OF nose helps. But the
most important thing OF all is the complex

BY adopting a different style Of dress they

DRY FARMING TALKED
BY EVERYONE
MUCH INTEREST IN COMING CON-
vENTloN AT BILLINGS
is MANIFESTED.

Billings. Mont, May 29.-"Every
body is talking dry farming" said
Professor A. Atkinson, the Montana
representative on the executive COM
mittee of the National Dry Farming
congress- to Il Billings reporter re-
Gently. Continuing he said, Il have
just returned from a trip covering the
entire mileage Of the Chicago, Mil
Waukee and st. Paul railway in Mon
tana, and / find that this subject is
being discussed more than any other.
Business men, travelling statesmen,
merchants and farmers are all dis
cussing the very helpful effect that
the development Of this particular
class of agriculture will have on the
entire west. We heard them say when
the ranges became exhausted and the
bands of sheep and herds Of cattle
had to be reduced, that the west was
about done for. With the develop
ment of this dry land farming, they
realize that we will soon have
much greater west than ever existed
in the palmiest stock days, with the
further advantage that the pursuit
will DO permanent
THE confidence which business men
have in the future dry farming is
practically illustrated by the heavy
investments they are making in new
towns along the different railroads
of the state. Many of these will be-
wholly dependent upon the dry farm
ing country surrounding, and these
business men must be convinced of
the safeness of dry farming or else
they would not invest their money.
From my own observation and study,
of conditions through the west | am
convinced that the investments are
safe. Dry farming has succeeded in
other states, and with the timely dis
tribution of rainfall, and the heavy
natural sod which makes moisture
holding soil, Montana has sure and
brilliant future. The United States is
just coming to realize that they have
the most valuable resources in their
dry farming. lands.''

INFORMATION BUREAU.
ORGANIZED
TOWNS OF MILK RIVER VALLEY
WILL BOOST INTERESTS
OF THE DISTRICT.

Malta, Mont, May 29.-With IL
towns of the famous Milk river val
ley represented, there has been or
ganized here the Milk River Valley
Information bureau, with Leo, b.
Coleman of Glasgow, president, w. E.
French Of Harlem, secretary, and L..
V. Bogy of Chinook, treasurer.
This bureau, which promises to be-
come one of the strongest CONNER
cial organizations in Montana, is
composed of the Glasgow, Hinsdale
Saco and Malta commercial clubs,
Vandalia townsite, Dodson CONNER
cal clubs, Wagner toWnsite, Harlem
Industrial association, and Chester
townsite. The memberships are held
in the names of these organizations
the townsites being represented by
H. H. Nelson, Vandallia; A. David
son, Wagner and c. f. Biggs, Chester.
B. w. Brockway, a prominent bust
ness man of Malta has been appoint
ed to represent the bureau on the
Montana board of control of the Dry
Farming congress, which will hold it's
fourth sessions at Billings, Mont
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,
October 1928, 1909, and with the CO.
operation of the affiliated organiza-
tons, Mr.. Brockway will see that the
Milk river valley is represented with
creditable exhibits at the second in
ternatonal exposition of dry farming
products at Billings October 25-29.
The new bureau is the result of
the decision of the business interests
of the towns of the valley to unite
in the concerted campaign for the adj
vancement of the development of this
wonderfully rich section of Montana.
Its first work will be to compile and
publish a booklet descriptive of the
resources of the Milk river country.
This valley is the scene of extensive
operations by the United States rec
lamation service which will irrigate
about 100000 acres of fine territory
tributary to the towns named, which
contains more than 100000 acres of
fine dry farm land which is rapidly
being settled.

Portuguese government.
Between the lines of this inscrip-
ton is to be read one of the most in
teresting and important events in the
history of the war of 1912, for this
little vessel was instrumental in maxi
ing possible the victory of General
Jackson over the British under Gen
eral Parkenham at New orleans.
a British squadron, comprising the
ships Plantagenet. Carnation and
Rota. We're en- route to the Gulf OF
Mexico with reinforcement for Gen.
eral Pakenham in the New orleans
campaign, and they put into Fayal
for minor stores. To their surprise,
the British found General Armstrong
at anchor. and, despite it being a
neutral port determined upon the
capture of the ship.
When night fell four barges, con-
tanning 100 men, We're sent to cut out
the American; but the skipper of the
little ship was not caught mapping,
and he drove them off with a heavy
loss. Then the enemy attacked with
IA barges and 500 men; but even this
force was vanquished. Chagrin and
CONSERVATION made the British fur
ious, and at daybreak the Carnation
opened fire with her big guns. The
American replied and hulled her to
such an extent that she had to with
draw. Then the larger ship. the
Plantagenet took up the fight, and
the Americans, realizing that they
were outclassed, turned their guns
down hatch. sending balls through
the bottom of their vessel, and at
the same time setting her on fire.
Then they escaped in their small
boats.
SO bad We're the injuries of the
Carnation that it was 10 days be-
fore she was ready for sea. This de-
lay was fatal to General Pakenham,
who. despairing of the promised re-
Inducements. made his attack with
disastrous results. Just 10 days later
than the appointed time the trio of
Englishmen sailed in, but it was too
late, the opportunity had been lost
and all on account of the little Gem
eral Armstrong.

state, and thus in many cities one
may find these Spanish trophies.
A beautiful bronze mortar with
caliber of $50 inches, that was cast
in Seville, Spain, on November 10 1880,
is another of the ornaments of the
state, war and navy building. There
are also many other historical old
cannon around this building. Two
huge bronze cannon, each weighing be-
tween 1000 and 5000 pounds, that
stand at one of the entrances are
grim reminders of the Revolution
and of one of it's most desperate bat
ties, the storming of Stony Point on
the night of July Is, 1873, by the gall
liant troops under Anthony Wayne.
Other guns to be found within the
shadow of this handsome building
includes howitZer known as the
Lone Star a gun that was presented
to the Republic of Texas after it's
strife. Two guns, named San Mateo
and San Marco, respectively. are rel
les of the Mexican war. There We're

liant naval conflict in the Barbary
States war, and they bear this in
scription:
ION the 31st day of August. 1904.
Captain stephen Decatur. in command
of an American gunboat off Tripoli,
boarded and captured in succession
two Tripolitan gunboats armed with
this and the adjacent gun"
1t was in the capture of one or
these guns that Decatur SO narrowly
escaped with his life, receiving an
ugly wound. He had singled out the
captain on the gunboat and engaged
him. In warding off thrust of
pike his cutlass broke and the next
blow he parted with his naked arm.
He then grappled with his adversary
and the two fell to the deck, where,
when the Tripolitan was gaining the
advantage, an American sailor went
to his officers rescue.
In a huge pile in the navy yard are
many Civil war guns taken from
confederate ships Albemarle, Arkan-
sas, Florida and others, and from the
defenses of Port Hudson. Some Of
these guns, which We're spiked and
rendered useless, We're only captured
after the most desperate struggles.
There are also many war relics at
the other navy yards at Norfolk. New
York. Portsmouth, League Island,
Mare island and elsewhere, while there
are also many exceedingly interesting
ones at the Naval academy at An
napolis. ul45.lH
The most interesting gun at the
Naval academy is one that was cast
in Barcelona. Spain, in 1902. of bronze
and a muzzle loader. In 1877, at Sew
lille, the gun was remodled. rifled and
fitted with breechock. Then 1t was
sent to the Philippines, and when
Admiral Dewey attacked Manila 1t
fired on the American fleet from
Cavite. Later the Filipinos secured
the gun. mounted it on crude car
riage and used it against the
Spanards in the summer of 1898. The
following year the Fiipinos turned
the gun on the American troops. Then
the Americans took 1T away from them
and sent it to the Naval academy,
along with a lot of other trophies.

A S THE history of man is largely
n record of war, it seems but
natural that there should have
originated the idea of retaining the
weapons OF the defeated foe and to
keep them as relies and examples Of
proWess for the coming generate ns
to gaze on and reflect upon the cour
age of their fathers.
The disarming of a vanquished foe
q man from fighting is to take from,
him the means, and then, too, every
one has instilled within their soul
a longing for something to show for
that which has been accomplished.
Every tribe and every nation I'M
der the sun has it's trophies of war
The natives of the nnermost portions
of the Dark Continent have their
,spoils taken from neighboring tribes,
and while they may be insignificant
as compared to some of the trophies
possessed by great nations, they are
nevertheless, just as DEAR as they
represent hard learned, dearly bought
victories and are monuments to the
warriors who gave their lives in
order that their people might pro-
cure that which they sought, be it
what it may.
The pomp and militant-loving ma
tions of Europe have their trophies of
the wars that they have been en-
gagged in, and though they may have
lost some of their flags and armament
to other nations, they yet have and
are Immensely proud of those that
they have taken from the enemy, and
these they cherish and treasure.
England and Germany mako a
most excellent use of some of the
iron and bronze cannon that they
have captured in conflicts for from
the metal is made medals that are
bestowed upon those who show ex-
ceptional courage in risking their lives
to save others
What bit of metal has more signifi-
canoe or sentimental value than the
simple iron Victorian cross of Eng
land or the iron cross of Germany?
1T is not what the little crosses are,
but what they represent that makes
