Several places in the community
were menaced by prairie fires dur.
ing the week. Monday a prairie
fire originating from a spark from
a locomotive threatened obstruction
to the buildings on the p. A Davis
ranch, and but for the assistance of
a number of tirefghters from town
who hurried out in autos it is quite
probable that the fire would have
gotten beyond control Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis and near neighbors
The same day the school in the Poor
district was threatened and was
saved by aggressive action of resi-
dents of that community.

Social Event
of the Week
Many Functions in Honor
of Miss Colburn on
Wedding Eve

The marriage of Florence Ger
trude Colburn of this city to Samuel
j. Hughes, commercial salesman,
was solemnized at Havre on Thurs
day evening. Mr.. and Mrs. Hug hes
left on the same day for tour of
the east and far west and upon their
return to Montana will make their
home al Great Falls.
The esteem IN which the bride is
held in her home city vas attested
to on the eve Of her departure by a
series of social events in compliment
to her, and as substantial tokens of
this esteem she was the recipient Of
many beautiful gifts. Thursday
morning a number of young folks in
her set assembled at the station to
extend fond farewell and wish her
"Bor Voyage"
Mingled with the joyous festiv-
tiles that marked the pre-nuptial
period was the manifestation of
deep regret over the departure of
Miss Gertrude from Cut Bank and
the loss to it's social circles of one
of the most popular and esteemed of
our young girls, whose pleasing
graces of manner made admiring
friends, as wide as the circle of her
acquaIntanceship.
The groom is not so we'll known
to Cut Bank folks but bears an ex.
cellent reputation as a young man
of sterling character and high in
tegrity. His rarely good discern
ment in the selection Of a helpmeet
is alone sufficient tribute from this
source, and with this publication
Gut Bank people will join in the fer.
vent wish that the welded life of
Mr.. and Mrs. Hughes may be re-
plete with lifes greatest joys and
richest blessings.
Monday evening seventeen young
girl friends of the bride-elect
swooped down upon her at her
home and showered her with par
cells of every conceivable description.
No mere man was about the prem
ises and the girls INDUCED in sol,
emn discussion of matrimony, from
the viewpoint of prospective can
didates." 1t was a very enjoyable
occasion and palatable luncheon
was served before the homegoing.
Tuesday evening Mrs. w. A. HUI
bush and Miss Emma Krug enter
tained the bride of the week and
few of her intimate girl friends at
five o'clock dinner at their home
on East Main. This, also, was a
very enjoyable occasion.

When Governor Marshall and his

at some Of the bills that have been

To curtail child labor.
To regulate sale Of cold storage
products.
To require hygienic schoolhouses

To regulate sale of cocaine and 9th.

Governor Marshall has also played
an active part in providing for protec-

following acts:
To create q bureau of inspection

To establish free employment asen-

breakfast on the yeranda overlooking

there began to come down from the

and up the tree that grew in the ravine

''They came up singly and in couples

when the breakfast was all laid and
the monkeys were all seated went in

"'Try them,' said.

their ears twitched.

PATENTS IN GERMANY.
There Inventors Are Looked Upon as
Teachers to the Nation.


In Germany a patent is regarded to
be equivalent to II promotion OF ma
uonnl knowledge by the disclosure OF
n heretofore unknown art. writes Ii.
r. Wprtheimer in Paper. The inventor
is Judged to be some kind Of teacher
to the nation: therefore the patent
Office does in no way care for the real
father Of an invention. To the first
anplirant Is allowed the patent. and
lack of first and true inventorShip does
not iYvalidate or bar the grant of a
patent unless the invention has been
fiuudulently obtained or stolen, If
the person from whom a patent has
been stolen flies nm opposition at the
proper time or starts an annuling suit
against the granted patent the patent
Is refused or annuIled. Moreover. I'm
der certain conditions a fraudulent
patentee may be compelled by law
suit TO assign the patent or even the
patent application to the riGhtful
owner.
This broad principle regulates easily
the status OF persons VINO nave actual
ly carried out the invention previous
to n patent application by another. as
well MS the question Of interfering ap-
plications. Such persons are not af-
fected by the patent. for they have not
been instructed by the inventor. In
other words. they have not derived
any new or useful knowledge by the
disclosure Of the patent: therefore
they have n legal right to Use the pat

right can only be assigned to others.

KEEP CUTS CLEAN.
Then There Isn't Anything For Them
to Do but Heal.

The cut made by the surgeon should
always be kept absolutely free from
germs. If infection occurs we know
that some one has blundered. Acciden-
tai cuts. Oh the other hand. are almost
invariably infected.
The germs of disease are every
where No matter how small the cut
may be or how brief its exposure to
the air. germs are almost certain to
enter. If az accidental cut is to heal
quickly and well all germs must be
carefully removed at the first dress
ing.
When we consider how many are
the ways in which Il cut may beeonle
infected we can understand why such
precautions are necessary. Infection
is often introduced by the very inip.e
