nine rivers of hell and nine orders Of
angels. The number being perfection

Nine knots made in n black wooden

1t has been estimated that Montana
has grown to be q state of about AGO..
600 people, and q few enthusiasts
place the population at q still higher
figure. Choutesu county has made q
remarkable growth in wealth the past
few years, and it is assumed that the
number of her citizens has also made
. large increase. Will the total be
5000 or more in the returns of the
thirteenth census?
The official figures are of special in.

representation, the members Of the as.

required by the constitution to make

returns will determine to what extern

HOLD THE RIGHT IDEALS.
Latent Courage and the Power Of Men
tai S~uQoestion.


We not only can strengthen mental
weaknesses. and deficiencies, but it is
perfectly possible to increase the gen
eral ability through the power of sug-
gestion. says Orison SWEET Marden in
Success Magazine. Indeed, the sus-
ceptibility Of all the mental faculties
to improvement, to enlargement, is
something remarkable.
Sometimes very strong faculties are
latent until especially aroused. There
are many people who pass for cow
ards, who are Inundated because they
have 81 little courage. when, II they
only knew how. they could strengthen
this deficient faculty wonderfully by
holding the courageous ideal, by
thinking and doing the courageous
deeds, by carrying the thought Of fear
lessness, by reading about heroic lives,
by constantly thinking the heroic
thought and trying to live It. The
courage may be small in a person be
cause it has never been called into
sufficient exercise. 1t may need only
to be aroused. There are many people
living lives Of mediocrity who might
do great things. might become mentaI
| giants. if their dormant faculties were
| aroused their general ability improved
and enlarged.

During the coming week, according
to advices from Washington, we will
know the size of Uncle Sans family

OF course, there have been several ad-
ditions to the number since the enum.
Grafton was made last April, but they
will have to wait for the count that
will be made Ia 1920.
From the advance notices issued by
the federal census bureau, it is igur.
ed that the population Of the United
States will total about 81, 900, 900 per.
sons, which corresponds closely with
the estimate of several months ago.
The average growth In several states
for which definite figures are already
available is about 20 per cent, bu,
those from which returns r awaited
may change this average to q small
extent. The western states, Of course.
show q percentage of increase largely
in excess Of the general average.
The census data relating to Mon
tana have not been made public al
this writing, but It is promised they
shsll be announced in q few days.
