Stock Judging Team Does Well

Bozeman. Dec. l0.-The stock JUDI
ging team of the Montana State Col
lege of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts
has returned from Chicago, where it
won seventh place at the Information
al Live Stock Exhibition in The annu-
al college stock judging contest. The
contest this year proved very close
and only 300 points out of a total of
1000 or more given each team, separ-
ated the first from the last team. Texas
beat Montana out of sixth place by a
margin of only one point and the Mac
donald College of Quebec which won
the contest had margin Of 243 over
the local team
The places won by the colleges rep
resented in the contest were as fol-
lows: Macdonald Agricultural College,
of Quebec, first; Manitoba, Canada,
second, University Of Missouri, third;
Ontario, Canada, fourth; Iowa State
College, fifth; Texas State College,
sixth, Montana State College, seven
tn; Kansas, eighth; Ohio, ninth, and
Nebraska, tenth.
In Judging hogs Montana made q
good showing being surpassed in that
by Manitoba alone. In judging cattle
the boys also did well winning fifth
place. Sheep judging proved harder
ffor the team than cattle or hogs but
the team averaged up well and i it had
not been for a failure to score high on
horses the college would have made a
better showing. However, the show
ing made by the team is considered
creditable when it is remembered
that the International Exhibition
brings out each year the best college
teams of both United States and
Canada. In speaking of the result of
the contest, Pres. Hamilton Of the
State College said, 1.-The boys did re-
markably well at Chicago when you
think Of their winning over Ohio,
Kansas, and Nebraska, who have been
sending teams to the contest for sew
eral years.

The TWO YEAR AGRICULTURAL
COURSE.


In years past much Ut the work done
by agricultural colleges has failed to
confer the largest possible usefulness
because Of the rigid aud quite exacting
requirements for admission to the agri-
cultural courses, In many cases the
equivalent of a high school course be
ing necessary Within the past two
years several leading agricultural
schools, realizing this fact, have pro-
vided for tWo-year agricultural short
course, which is open to all young peo-
pie who have had the branches taught
in the average country school, q knoWl-
edge Of which would be necessary for
satisfactory progress in the courses Of
fered. The benefit which will result
from thus throwing these practical and
helpful courses open to greatly in
creased number of young men and wo
men can hardly be estimated. It will
mean the realizing of maximum val
ne from the most practical type Of in
struction that Is offered in American
schools today.

A Cure for FreckIes.

NOVELTIES OF THE
WANING SEASON

One Of the newest ideas by way OF
trimming is flowered cretonne on a
plain linen costume, which has the charm
of originality to recommend 1t, and that is
a very great attraction in an age of crav-
ing for novelty. A young girl seen at the
seashore the other day were a plain pink
linen frock. with revers and cuffs of diff
ferently colored fiowered cretonne, while
a piece was let in on the skirt. giving a
curious one-sided effect to the costume.
The result did not strike one as very
happy combination. but it is to be seen in
some Of the leading French houses, and
is certainly In vogue
Another singular effect was arrived at
by a yellow fiowered cretonne coat. inlet
with pieces of coarse cream lace, and
worn with plain cream linen skirt. The
effect was bizarre, and went to prove that
the extreme In fashion can be worn only
by a chosen few with any success, and
should be left severely alone by those
who are in doubt as regards their judg-
ment and taste. Unhappily, however,
there appear to be some people who are
SO constituted by nature that they seem
to possess the unerring faculty of pick
ing out clothes and colors which are re-
culiarly unsuited to themselves, and which
they should strenuousy avoid, and this
they never seem capable Of realizing.

FACTS AND RUMORS
ABOUT NEW FASHIONS

In spite of the example set by smart
wells shows few signs of being well es-
tablished among us. Many women are
firmly convinced that wells are not merely
expensive, difficult to keep In order and
bad for the complexion, but that they
are also. as general rule, unbecoming.
However, there are some who contend
that there is nothing SO becoming as a
veil. thoughtfully selected and we'll ad-
justed
The girl who is never seen without a
veil has only one grivance against her
pet fashion, the difficulty that there SO
often is of adjusting the veil and making
the same piece Of yelling do duty with
hats of varying width. At present there
is being offered a veil gathered on elastic
which adjusts itself round the hat brim,
and is firmly fastened at the back by
clasps. This is no new thing. Our grand
mothers Chantilly wells were draped and
hooked on the same plan, but it has been
found that all mechanical contrivances
have their drawbacks.
In arranging the veil let it be remem-
bered that the middle of the veil and
the middle of the hat should come to-
gether. The fullness should first be galI-
cred round the brim and fastened securely
down by pins. until the fullness has been
gathered up for the chin, quite un-
wrinkled and smooth. when the ends that
are formed should be softly tied. The
veil should fit closely, but 1t must never
be tightly dragged against the nose, the
eyelashes or any of the features.
Colored veilings must be worn with
much discretion. A woman with a good
color will assume a complexion of purple
under q blue veil. and white wells are
very trying to pale women with dark
hair. A broad-meshed veil is the safest
to wear and often makes a very poor
cOmpleXiOn more than naSSable. The
cobweb wells that are so fashionable now
more generally have an opposite effect.

Girls Hair Ribbons.

When there are several schoolgirl
daughters in the family the expenditure
on hair ribbons becomes quite consider
able item. Fastidious mothers who de-
clare that ribbons never look well when
washed should try the following method:
Make a mixture Of three ounces Of soft
SOAP three tablespoonsful of honey, to a
teacupful of gin and water.
The ribbon is placed on a board and
scrubbed with the mixture. 1t is then
rinsed by dipping several times in clean.
cold water, and not squeezed out, but
hung over line to drip. then put be-
tween cloths and ironed by drawing the
ribbons from under the iron. This pre-
vents creasing and a stringy appearance
at finish. The iron should be kept still
with pressure upon 1t.
White ribbons will not turn yellow
when washed II the water Is warm in
stead Of hot and the soap used a fine
white quality. Rinse in three waters,
the last being a strong blue.
Hang in the sun until half dry, then
press under clean muslin with warm

CARROTS A SIMPLE
AID TO BEAUTY

How many students OF the beauty cult
have sounded the value of the carrot as
first aid to the complexion! And not
without reason, as the peruser Of beauty
hints will readily testify, for nowhere
can less expensive and more effective
purifier be found than In the carrot cor
ner of the garden.
There is another lure than that of the
peach-like complexion for the girl who
cultivates a carrot menu. and that Is a
glossy sheen Of the hair. Surely with
these two charms in view any girl could
learn to like the homely orange-colored
vegetable.
One woman, whose faith in carrots is
firm, eats them as she would radishes
She selects firm, crisp carrots, peels
them and eats them with salt at lunch
con and dinner. Whether her clear.
transparent complexion and glistening
hair are a result of the vegetables or her
belief in them matters not at all so long
as the result is all that could be desired
II raw carrots are unpleasant to the
taste try grating them and adding them
to sauces, salads and soups. where they
will be found to impart a delightful
flavor. AS a dinner vegetable they are
excellent sliced lengthwise, fried brown
on both sides in butter and seasoned with
salt and pepper. Another way is to boil
them in salted water until tender, drain
and pour over them rich cream sauce
The addition Of few peas to creamed
carrots makes a good filing for patties
or pie crust cups.
Carrot omelet makes an agreeable
breakfast dish. Prepare a plain omelet
spread with grated carrot, into which
has been mixed little chopped parsley
and fold, after dotting the vegetables
we'll with butter.
Very often taste for carrots, like for
olives, must be cultivated, but once
formed the valuable little vegetable is
permanently placed on the list of favor
ite dishes. And all the while there Is
the assurance that beauty and health
are both benefiting by the adoption.

THE DAILY CHIT-CHAT.
By Ruth Cameron.

Across the way from me lives an un-
married woman about fifty years old. who
has recently been obliged by Ill health
to give up the clerical position which
she has held for thirty years.
Naturally. she is appalled, by the
amount OF time which she finds awaiting
her disposal, and scarcely knows how to
while away the sixteen waking hours that
must be gotten rid of every day in some
way or other.
l was sitting on her veranda the other
evening just at twilight when the stars
were beginning to come out, and with
more animation than / had seen her show
since her illness she pointed out several
of the different stars and consultations
to me.
You understand astronomy" I said
She sighed. "A very little. I wish
knew more, for it gives me so much
pleasure. When l am stronger, l think
/ shall try to study 1t. | can't regret
enough that l didn't learn more about
botany and zoology and all the arts and
sciences in my youth. for every bit OF
knowledge would have been one more in
terest in life to me now, when l need
interest SO much"
knowledge means interest.
Interest means a full life.
A full life means a happy one.
How many people take a lifetime to
learn these simple equations.
And how many people never learn them
at all.
Any interest, however trif1ing. adds hap
piness to life. l know a man who has
to travel a great deal by automobile, who
finds great diversion in learning TO iden-
tify the different states by colors on the
number cards of the various machines he
passes.
Think how much more happiness the
man who knows the different bird calls
can get out of a walk in the woods than
he to whom they are nothing but a jar
gon of meaningless sounds.
In a suggestive little book on how to
live on twenty-four hours a day. well
known English essayist advises the man
who simply enjoys in a general way listen
ing to a concert to multiply his enjoy
ment by making himself familiar with
the construction of the orchestra The
result, he promises. would be that ''in-
stead of a confused mass. the orchestra
would appear to you as what 1t is-a
marvelously balanced organism whose
various groups of members have each a
different and an Indispensable function
You would spy out the instruments and
listen to their respective sounds. You
would know the gulf that separates a
French horn from an English horn, and
you would perceive why a player of the
hautboy gets higher wages than fiddler
though the fiddle is the more difficult in
strument. You would live at a promen-
ade concert. whereas previously you had
merely existed there in a state of coma
like a baby gazing at a bright object.
Now, the same sort of an investment
would give the same results in any line.
Let the man who enjoys good pictures
multiply his enjoyment by learning some
thing definite about different schools of
art.
Let the man who is interested in
politics study some of the principles of
government and public law.
knowledge means interest.
Interest means a full life.
A full life means happiness.
He who will may have knowledge.
Hence. he who will may have happiness.

To Clean Corduroy.

How many mothers have worried over
the problem of cleaning baby's white cor
duroy coat satisfactorily and without hav-
ing recourse TO the professional clean
ers.
The garment may be cleaned as often
as necessary if the following directions
are carefully observed:
Shave very thinly a bar of some pure
white soap; add, with two tablespoon
fuls of kerosene. to about half pail OF
water
Boil this mixture until il is reduced
one-quarter. Use small portion of this
and plenty of water to cleanse the gar
ment. When sufficiently cleansed, hold
the garment spread out as much as pos
sible while you rinse il up and down in
clear water repeatedly. Be careful to
have the nap running up.
When the pile is raised hang in the
same position to Dry. Be careful not to
wiring or otherwise touch the garment.
1t should be fastened TO the line with
ordinary clothespins.
If by some oversight the nap becomes
f1attened, wait until the piece is thor
oughly dry, when a brisk rubbing with
a hand broom will obviate the trouble.
