Saco, Mont, May 29.-Nine years

it is treble that number. Saco, the
center of a large sheep raising dis

towns during the last three years

miles northward to the Canadian line
and about the same southwark to the
Missouri river. The bench lands il
this great stretch of undevelopea
country afford fine opportunities for
the homesteader, the soil being ex-
ceedingly fertile
The development of this district
has been begun and this spring q,
large acreage is being broken. Six
carloads of seed and grain has been
received at Saco and the demand is
far from being supplied. Heretofore
wheat, barley and oats have been the
chief crops, but this year some of the
farmers are trying potatoes on
commercial scale, where potatoes
have been superior to eastern potatoes
and the rate Of yield high. We be-
lieve Saco bench lands will become
noted for the "Saco" spud.
Saco has a live commercial club of
which G. w. Nelson is president; C.
E. Taylor vice president; H. II.

Nagg, treasurer and r. p Minnfck,
secretary. The business men of the
town are anxious to have the farmers
in this vicinity take advantage of,
the education in practical agriculture
offered by the Dry Farming congress
and the commercial club will en-

BRILLIANT HUES MUCH LIKED.
Highly CoIored Plumase Just
Now in Favor.

The favorite hat for morning walk
is just now the very coarse straw in a
large, simple shape, trimmed with
great wings of brilliant-plumaged
birds.
The success of hat depends entire
ly on the way the wings are placed,
some of them hanging Imply over the
side of the brim, with a rather painful
suggestion of wounded bird, while
contrasts are the mot d'order, and
not infrequently these are little
startling.
With the exception of the intense
empire green, which is popular, the
hats are generally in half-tones, dull
in hue, the wings striking the only
strong color-note in the toilet.

Perhaps l may be allowed to use
this expression-the use of plants
ing in the least from the dignity end
importance of it, prevents us from
looking upon it as something that
boldly challenges the attention-an
idea not in keeping with the home
sense which ought to characterize the
building in which those live who care
less for show and admiration than
for beauty. All of us have seen
houses which seem to absolutely force
themselves upon our attention. We
may admire them in way, but it is
a way with which the idea of home
is not associated.
But if shrubs and perrenials and
vines were planted about them their
aggressiveness would be hidden, or at
least modified. and we would soon be-
gin to think of them as homes instead
of houses.
No very tall-growing plants should
be used anywhere about the house II
they will interfere with the outlook.
Windows are made to let in light and

WOMEN SHOULD STUDY COLOR
When a Woman Knows She Can Have
Only Few Dresses She
Chooses Them Carefully.

The value of color is something that
a clever dressmaker understands fully.
Two dresses can be cut alike. line for
line, but in different shades of the
same silk, and one of them will make
a woman look slender, straight and
supple, and the other will give her an
uncomfortably dumpy, round-shoul-
dered, square-cut figure. All women
ought to make careful study OF col
ors whether they have a professional
interest in the matter or not. 1t is es-
pecially important for women of small
means who have so few gowns that
they must live with those OF their
choice very intimately.
A woman who can buy twenty or
thirty dresses year can AFFORD to
make an occasional mistake when her
fancy for trying color or too daring
line carries her away for moment.
She can hang an unsuccessful dress in
a closet and forget about 1t, and it
does her no harm-helps her. perhaps,
in choosing more wisely in the future.
SAs does not suffer from her folly. But
a woman of small means who meets
with a mishap in her choice of her one
new gown must wear it whether or no
