RECREATION
ON THE FARM
Woman Speaker at Dry Farming
Congress Urges More Fun
on the Farm

One of the most necessary, yet
most neglected and unappreciated
phases of of farm life. according to
Mrs. Paul Clagstone, of Clagstone,
Idaho, who spoke on Recreation
in the Home and Community" at
the International Congress OF
Farm Women, is recreation for the
farmers family. Recreation
she said lis wrongfully considered
a luxury in many farm homes. \
farm woman's life should not be
all drudgery, and the boys and
girls should be given time fol-
recreation. Too many boys and
girls leave home because they see
nothing but hard work ahead o1
them for the rest of their lives
while in the cities families of theil
own financial standing have com
forts and amusements. The fac
is that the country can furnisl
even more pleasures than city life
affords" She advocated the ex
penditure of little money for :
pony for the children, a few goo(
magazines and farm papers for th'
family, and phonograph to brinl
them in touch with the best music
or to liven the long winter even
ings. A few good outdoor game
for the boys, flowers for the far
mer's wife, and a revival of th
old art of making visits were re
commended as aids to relaxation

BOB ST. HENRY
QUITS AVIATION
Once Daring Aviator Loses Nerve
Buys Farm Near
Miles City

Anxious to propitiate the sus-
picious fate which has brought
him his nickname, and warned by
the fact that nine men employed
by the Curtis Aviation company
have met death in the past six
months. Lucky Bob" ST. Henry
bird man of national reputation,
who has startled many communi-
ties by his reckless daring in mid
air, has determined to forsake the
steering wheel of the aerop[ane
for the hickory handles of the
plow.
r This determination of st. Henry 's
part not only decreases the flying
force of the Curtis people, but it
also means the abandonment OF
the proposed world tour, which st.
Henry was arranging in conjunc,
tiOn with G.. d. Harlow, former
Cinncinati newspaper man who is
now engaged in publicity work in
Montana.
1t was Intended that Mr.. Har-
low and st. Henry should sail for
Australia the first of the month,
arrangements to that effect had
been made during the recent inter
state fair at Beech, n. ID, A
postponement of the sailing was
rendered necessary when Cromwall
Dixon, the intrepid boy aviator,
fell to his death at Spokane. AT
that time young Dixon was billed
to fly at several places in Nebraska
and St. Henry consented to fill
these dates.
1t is believed that Lucky Bob's
determination to quit this dan
gerous game is largely the result
of his wife's pleadings, since she
was possessed of premonitior
that he would certainly meet his
death if he continued flying. The
death of Eugene Ely, followed Sc
quickly after that of Dixon, als(
probably had it's effect on st
Henry, who had abandoned many
of the reckless air stunts that first
made him famous and had of late
devoted himself to straight flying
His telegram to Mr.. Harlow
states that the foreign trip is OF
and that he will spend the wintel

work. The eastern man preferred
to starve at home to starving in
Montana, thousands of miles from
friends-at least that is what he
said. Then we brought in a few,
and when these few saw what they
could do by carefully tilling of the
soil, they sent back for their friends,
and today the 800 acre homesteads
that Uncle Sam is Offering men
that want chance to build a
home for themselves are being
gobblcd up at rapid rate.
1T was advertising that brought
these people, and advertising of
the proper sort will continue to
bring the right kind of people to
the right place Montana-until
every tillable acre is under the
plow and the wealth Of the state
is increased hundred times.
Newspaper ADVERTISING brought
many, billboards and magazines
hundreds more, but one of the
best means we found in the land
shows. Our exhibits at the show
given by the United States Land
and Irrigation Exposition at the
Coliseum in Chicago last year at
tracted thousands, and of these
many hundreds were persuaded to
cast their lot with Montana
we never could have adver-
tised Montana successfully if we
had not had the loyal backing OF
the people of the state. This CO
operation, and spirit of harmony
that prevailed enabled us to bring
men here and see them settled
and on the way to earning com
petence. 1t is our intention tC
keep up the good work of adver
tising the state, and we want the
people to continue to work with
us. AS long as the railroad and
the people work togather, as We
have done and are doing here
Montana cannot 60 back.

But even then, in fact until three
years ago, little attention was
paid to this in Montana. Then L..

the great opportunities for furnish

''You know the Great Northern

said L. w. Hill, when on recent
visit to the state "and along our
500 miles of track here, we had
few farms. There were cattle
ranches in plenty, but farm pro-

one spoke of farming there was a
general uplifting of hands, and

crops in this dry country" But
we can, and today statistics show
that with scientific methods Mon
