Withdrawal Of Rocky Boy Indian
Allotment Approved by
Montanans.

Glasgow, Mont, Nov. 2.-The
announcement received here from
Washington. conveying the infor-
nation that Secretary Ballinger
has determined to Withdraw from
the Rocky Boy Indians the $4,000
acres OF land allotted them in the
fertile country northeast Of here
and just east Of the Fort Peck In
dian reservation has aroused the
enthusiasm Of commercial organi-
cations in northeastern Montana.
From Williston, in North Dakota,
to Sulbertson across the line in
Montana, and teyond to Glasgow
and Havre expressions Of satisfAc-
ton may be heard, and the matter
is general talk among commercial
men on the trains.
All want Fair Treatment.
Montana business sentiment
iavors iair treatment OF the Indians
but it had seemed to the people
here that the Interior department,
in setting aside SO large a fertile
tract for the occupancy Of band
OF Indians who are not, and never
will be farmers, had carried solici-
tude tor the red men beyond any
reasonable point. 1t was like put
ting = barrier to northward in the
path Of development OF the country
from which the towns in Valley
and Choteau counties expect to de.
rive increasing patronage in the
next few years.
When thr Montana men affixed
their signatures to the telegram Of
protest headed by the business
representatives Of Minneapolis and
St. Paul, they scarcely hoped Tor
SO prompt a response. The order
from Secretary BAllinger is taken
here to mean that the Rocky Boy
band will be located farther out
nearer the mountains, where the
land will be just as good for them,
since they will not cultivate il any.

Colonial Stoneware.

Since colonial furniture. glassware
and chintzes are back in fashion,
those who make tableware have fallen
into line.
One OF the new importations is
stoneware in Chinese patterns. The
decorations are in bright colors, usual
ly of flowers, and the shapes are very
quaint.
In the early days the stoneware
cups were made without handles and.
although you can still get them. such
cup Is not convenient thing to
drink from.
This new'old stoneware wears for
ever and a day It was originally In
vented TO be of long service. as in
those days people could not pick up
table sets at the nearest department
shops.
This ware is charming for break
fasts and luncheons. especially when
used in dining room furnished with
colonial mahogany.

In selecting tablecloths it is more
satisfactory to get the 72-inch width,
which gives generous fall of l6
inches or so at the sides, which
dresses table better than the mar
rover widths. Two and one-half yards
is very good measure for general use.
convenient size for small company
requiring an extra leaf. Three and
one.half yards are required for an ex-
tended table. to drape over the ends
and correspond with the sides.
In hemming tablecloths, a double
henistitch above an inch-and -a-half
wide hem. makes very fine finish.
The ends must be cut by the thread
TO make the hem true. With napkins
to correspond and finished in the
same way, this makes very Ine

heavy, with pretty pattern. If the
hemstitch is thought to be too Glab-
orate, the so-called French hem at the
ends does very nicely, turning half
inch hem neatly and folding back, sew
u fine over.and-over stitch.
The care of table linen is of great
importance. II one would have the
table arrayed at its best. There must
be pure white cloth without blemish
or wrinkle with satiny finish and with
as few folds as possible. A very good
way to wash napkins and tablecloths
for this effect is to first. pour slowly
a stream of boiling water over stains
and then let them soak in good suds
made with white laundry soap for an
hour; then lightly rub out and just
scald in clear water; rinse in light
bluing water and. during the whole
process wiring by hand instead of by
wringer. to avoid the wrinkles that
are 50 hard to press out. Do not
starch; stretch evenly and hang
straight on the line to dry
In ironing the linen must be evenly
and very well dampened. Fold the

and press dry from end to end. on
both sides. This will give the satin
finish. Fold together sidewise once

NOT AFFECTED BY DEPRESSION

When a manufacturing establish.

business, while others in the same line

is because there must be some un.
usually good reason for 1t. In this
instance splendid reputation and a
uct were responsible for the showing
made.
The Mayer Boot & Shoe Company,
Milwaukee. the largest shoe establish.
ment in the Northwest, has Just closed
its fiscal year, and reports an increase
in sales over the corresponding period
of last year. This exceptional show
ing speaks volumes for the genuine
merit of Mayer shoes. and is directly
attributed to their high standard. and
because of the fact that Mayer shoes
have become universally and popular
ly known as shoes of quality"
The leading brands are "Honorbilt"

fine shoes for women. "Yerma" Cush.

One way to get them in proper con-

stiffness and prevents needles from

Another and better method is be-
fore the linen, napkins particularly. is

Marlboro, located there as early. at

He married Joanna Ward, a daugh-
