MONTANA CENSUS FRAUDS.
federal Grand Jury May Investigate
Alleged Irregularities.

HELENA, April 29.-That several
Indictments charging padding of Mon.
tana census returns last year may be
returned by the federal grand jury that
will be impaneled here Monday is con.
sidered likely. Who the defendants
will be and in what towns and coun-
ties the frauds are thought to have
been committed is not known, but that
the government is working on the mat
ter is indicated by recent events. A
week ago U. H. Hester, special agent
of the census bureau, the man who in.
vestig ated the frauds in at Falls last
year. arrived here and after q confer
ence with District Attorney Freeman
departed going to some other Montana
town.
Thursday night Cleveland A. New.
ton special assistant attorney general,
arrived from Washington in connec.
ton with the census investig alton.
This morning Leon Shaw, supervisor
Of the second census district in Mon.
taua, arrived from Big Timber. He
has been subpenae to appear Mon.
day before the grand jury.
Besides the census cases, about 40
whiskey. peddling cases from Western
Montana will be laid before the
grand jury. There will also be q
few postofice cases and others of q
miscellaneous nature submitted. The
grand jury will be in session about two
weeks.

Chester Signal: 1t appears to the
Signal that there is entirely too much
"spite' litigation going on in this end
OF the county. Almost daily there is
q justice court case in Chester or one
of the other towns where the complaint
is purely spite and the value of the
articles so little that II should be
thrown out ut once, and We believe II
these cases were looked into by the
county attorney before trial there
would be no costs piled up on the
county.

FLOWING PRAIRIE son.
Settlers Advised to Prepare Land for
Next Years Crops.

Settlers Advised to Prepare Land for
Next Years Crops.
New settlers in northern Montana
are advised by Professor Shaw that
preparation OF their land for mex
years crops promises more satisfac.
tory results than seeding the newly
plowed land this season. Recommen.
dations to this effect are made in a
bulletin prepared by Professor Shaw.
and which says In part:
The temptation to break up prairie
sod, to break it shallow and to con.
tinue breaking and sowing it to crop
until the season is far advanced is
ever present with the new settler. He
Is anxious to grow crops that will
bring income and that will furnish
food for his household and such ami.
male he may own. If the breaking
is done early and deeply. II q good
seed bed is made, III the sowing and
planting r done early and II the
crops put in include maioly. asx, fod.
der corn and potatoes the effort is to
be commended. But If the blowing
10 shallow and the sowing 10 con.
tinued until late in the season. the
process is full of hazard should. the
season prove more than ordinarily dry.
Should the season prove moist, the
results may be fairly satisfactory, but
it cannot be known before hand what
the character of the season will be.
In 1910 many thousands Of acres of
crop we're lost iu this way.
Even though a crop should be grown
on all the land thus broken the gain
may be less than is apparent. If a
crop is grown on spring broken sod
there is but little reserve moisture left
10 the land. This will mean, that
should q crop be grown on that land
the following. year and the year prove
one of drouth, it would fail. OF
course 1t would avoid such hazard to
fallow the land. If on the
other hand the newly broken sod is
summer fallowed the season when it
is broken, the opportunity is thus fur.
for getting into the soil q re.
serve supply OF moisture that will aid
in growing the crops that follow.
Such q reserve supply will uudoubt.
eddy 60 down into the soil the first sea.
son, providing the blowing is done not
later than early July, and providing
the season is one of average moisture
and the plowed land is properly cared
for subsequently,.
The new settler, therefore, should
aim to be content with a small acre.
age sown to crop the first year. He
should rather center his efforts on
breaking a large amount and prepar-
ing 1t for the next years crop whether
that crop Is sown in the fall or the
spring. All diligence should be shown
in breaking until the moisture leaves
the soil. 1t may probably be done
more easily in May or June than dur.
ing any other months because of the
precipitation that is then likely to oc.
cur. Every effort should be made to
turn over every furrow that can be
turned over at such a time, because OF
the influence which such q course will
have on the crop of the next year.
The more the land that Ia thus broken
the larger will be the area that may be
depended on to grow q good crop the
following year, providing that the
land is properly managed in the in.
terval.

SPRINGTIME is RE!

And with it comes the busiest season of
the year. This is the time when every one
wants to do all they car" iii as short a time
as possible. Isn't it great saving of time,
which means a saving of money, if you can
buy everything you need at one place, and
at the same time get the best goods at the
Lowest Prices?

q NIPPLE little aprons such as this one
y require almost no appreciate time for
their making yet they are attractive
at the same time that they protect the
frook worn beneath. This one is made
Of ring dotted lawn and trimmed with
bands of tucking and with insertion. All
the materials that are used for children's
aprons are appropriate. For morning
wear, chambray with bands of white en-
broidery would be pretty, or the apron
could be left plain at the lower edge and
trimmed only at the upper. For the more
dressy aprons. muslins, batiste and mate
rails of the kind are charming.
The apron is made with front and back
portions that are Joined by straps over the
shoulders.
For a child of o years of age will be
required 1% yards of material q or ID

TIME little dress that is made in one
with the sleeves is one of the later
developments of childish fashions.
This model Is very novel being closed over
the shoulders by means Of buttons and
b~uttonholes. 1t is absolutely simple and
easy to make, yet II is smart in the ex-
IRENE. 1t is adapted to all childish ma
terials, for thin and thick, both are made
in this way. In the illustration the edges
are scalloped but they can be finished with
plain banding, If preferred. 81
The dress is made with front and back
portions. There are panels inserted in the
skirt at the underarm edges, and these
panels are arranged under the front and
back portions to give a trimming effect.
The sleeves also are trimmed with shaped
portions.
For the o year size will be required 3
yards Of material "a or 81 inches wide,
2lk yards SO or 2 yards "A inches wide.
The pattern No. 6ST9 is cut in sizes for

Deb MAY l~rlanton.

q c a pretty waist as this one fills
material that is thin enough TO be
tucked and it is exceedingly attractive at
the same time that it is quite simple. 1t
can be made with three-quarter sleeves or
with long ones, and the three-quarter
sleeves can be trimmed in the manner
illustrated or without the braided bands
and the velvet triangles as liked. In this
case velvet bands are arranged at the in
side edges of the waist above the extern
sions on the front, but this treatment, too,
Is optional, for the waist can be finished
without these or with wider trimming
applied over the edges with equal success.
It consists of front and backs with the
chemisette. Tue front and the backs are
tucked and the back of the Inning Is
faced with material to complete the chem
isette. The sleeves are made in one piece
each, laid In plaits at the seam edges, and
are arranged over fitted Innings. When
long sleeves are used these Innings are
faced to form deep cuffs and the fancy
cuffs are omitted.
For a woman of medium size. the waist
will require 2% yards of material 81 or
tx yards 80 or A inches wide, with 1
yard Of all-over lace and q yard of velvet
to trim as illustrated.
