An old Greek myth of the creation
of the world tells how from thu
primal elements of mass and vol
and darkness the earth came int,
existence and with it Simultaneous!
Love the ruling force of the Universe
1t is this Love, brought into being
even before man himself; which is the
moving spirit of the extension worl
carried on by the Y. w. C. A. and the
\. M. c. A. in Happy Hollow, a dis
trict in the eastern part of Columbia
The young men and women interest.
Ell in this department of their socie-
ties believe in carrying out the old
mandate: Have you had a kind
ness shown? Pass it on" They
think that il Fate has been kind
enough to grant to them privileges
denied to others, the least they can
do is to share their riches as best
they may.
The work was begun three years
ago in a very unpreteptious way but
has been growing and widening out
steadily ever since, until now there
are several different branches of
activity. Originally no attempt was
made to do more than organize and
maintain a church and Sunday school
and these today are decidedly sue
cessful.
The Sunday school is held in the
afternoon as it seems easier to get
the children out then. The little
ones come regularly every Sunday,
never thinking of missing unless the
weather makes it impossible for
them to get out. About thirty or
thirty-five of them gather and listen
eagerly to the stories told them by
the young people who go out to them
as teachers.
The church services are held in
the evening only. They are under
the direction of the Christian Asso-
Citations entirely. but the young peo-
pies societies of the different
in town assist by taking
charge of meetings. The young peo-
pie do everything themselves, from
leading the services to singing the
solos.
The kindergarten, which was es-
tablished last year, is one of the
most interesting sides of the work.
AS yet funds have been rather
scarce but the prospects for this year
are brighter than they were last and
plans are being made to extend the
work considerably. On account of
this lack of money, which meant the
of purchasing mate
rial to work with, the teachers could
do little except amuse the children
by telling them interesting and in
5tructive stories. The boys and
girls were kept in separate classes.
While tales of adventure fired the

PCGILISM AND ENGLISH.

Jem Mace, famous old English
fighter and boxing instructor, had
one maxim that summed up his sys
tenn of pugilistic attack: Keep youl
eyes open and hit straight from the
shoulder" That is exactly what the
successful newspaper writer does and
that is why good newspaper
English' is the best English writ.
ten.
The successful newspaper writer
keeps his eyes open to detect any
fault in his diction, any weakness In
his style, any mistake of grammar
spelling or punctuation. He hits
straight because a straight line is
the shortest route from his written
words to his readers mind. He
drives home the truth he wishes to
convey. There are no wide swings,
10 hitting off balance, no swerving
from the objective point, no 'frills''
CT intricacies. There is no wasted
energy, no lost motion. Newspaper
English is straight from the shoul-
der"
The newspaper writer has no call
to use the ''uppercuts" and body
jabs" and 'loop-the-loop" punches of
Iuodern fighter such as LII Arthur"
Johnson or Ad Wolgast. They are
gore-producing enough but the spec
tator is somewhat confused as to
just what is going on. The news
paper writer must stick to the Jem
Mace style, straight from the shoul-
der and with eyes on guard against
that which might confuse or COM
plicate the meaning.
Language, We take it, is for the
purpose of conveying ideas from one
person to another. May We not say
that the best language is that which
most clearly, most briefly and most
accurately conveys the idea? Leave
the loop-the-loop punches to the
literary geniuses, and the wide, open
swings to the illiterate, but we news
paper men end women must hold to
the straight-frOm-the-sh style,
the Jem Mace system applied to writ
ing.

Early Railroad Filters.

When the arst passenger railroad
Jver built was opened in England in
1926 the train Travelled from one end
OF the line to the other. a distance Of
twelve miles. In two hours. And Wood,
one Of the best known writer's on tn,
subject Of railroads ut that day, wrote
a. follows:
Nothing can do more harm to the
adoption Of railways than the promul-
cation of such nonsense a. that we
shall see locomotives travelling at the
elte of twelve miles an hour
Today. with locomotives travelling at
the rate of seventy-tive miles an hour.

feeling Of amusement. In 1929 q

try. and in the following year Peter

Billings COUNTY
BEEF TOPS MARKET

MEDORA, Aug. 21-The best price
ever paid for range LETTERS was Sc
cured in Chicago last week by Frank
Gore of Medora, when he sold IS
Shorthorns and Herefords, averaging
1,133 pounds for $500 per hundred.
Billings county also topped the mar
ket this season for range steers when
Mr.. Gore sold AZ Herefords and Short
horns, averaging 1868 pounds aid W..
J. Follis sold 81 Herefords and Short
horns, averaging 1.21 pounds for $40
per hundred.
When it is taken into consideration
that cattle are shipped into Chicago
from practically all over the United
States it will be seen that this top
ping the market in Chicago amounts
to something. These heifers at $500
per hundred brought $67.98 each and
the steers at $6.40 brought $80.83 each
which is big price for range cattle
The fact that Billings county cattle
top the market practically every year
speaks WE'LL not only for the class Of
stock that the stockmen handle but for
the fertility of the soil upon which
they are raised.
