Fine Home Grown Strawberries

Mrs. p. l.. Fortney, who is meet
ing with great success in the culture
of strawberries has been distributing
a number Of boxes of the beautiful,
luscious fruit among her friends and
did not forget the editor of THE EN-
TERPR1sE. The variety chosen by Mrs.
Fortney is the Major Dunlap and the
plants have yielded so abundantly
that from a small bed she has al
ready picked eighteen quarts and
they promise to produce at least that
many more. The Malta berry is very
large. and the flavor rich and exquis-
itely piquant, something different
from those shipped in from elsewhere.
Mrs. Fortney's success with straw
berries, and this is only the second
year of her venture, should encour-
age others who have been told straw
berries can not be grown in Montana,
to try for themselves. There can be
nothing nicer or more appreciated
than home grown fruit in the town
garden or on the farm.

"Facing The Music" A Success

The farce comedy produced a t
Eagles Hall last evening by the local
talent of Malta under the direction
of Miss Ruth Craven was a pro-
nounced artistic and financial success.
Mrs. f. Smith, as Mrs. Temple, had
difficult role, which she handled
delicately and with finish. Mrs.
Cooper, as the wife of the hairdress-
er, was the cause of much laughter.
Her makeup and acting was all that
could be desired. Leah Caselberg
as Mrs. Fuller was very pretty and
charming. Mr.. Arnot and Mr.. Sklow-
er as the two prevaricators, kept the
music humming and carried their
parts with the confidence and air of
two professionals. Mr.. Ludwig as
the tickle John Brown certainly made
things lively in the second act, while
Mr.. Lockwood as that lawful but
ler'' was splendid in whatever he
"was just going to do.'
The specialties between acts were
much above the average, Mr.. Blum
enthal's vocal solo being especially
pleasing. Miss Helen Caselberg and
Miss Beck in a pajama speciality un-
der candlelight, caused the boys to
sit up and take notice, while Miss
Bonnie Beck won great favor in her
classical Spanish dancing. Altogeth-
er the cast showed careful training
and unlike many amateur produc-
tions, didn't get in one another's s
way, fall over the furniture nor stick
in their lines. AS there were many
who could not go last evening the
play will be repeated Friday evening,
July Fifth, and dance will be given
after the play. The entertainment
is for the benefit of Eagles Hall so

time, but since instruments carried by
kites and balloons have taught us so
much about the temperature conditions
In the air up to heights of sixteen miles
and more. a renewed interest has been
taken In the forms and motions Of clouds,
for the motion Of q cloud usually (but
not 'always) indicates also that of the
air In which It Is floating.
One Of the best instruments for OBJ
serving the motion of a cloud is the
Besson nephoscope. The instrument con-
ssts simply of an inverted harrow or
comb fixed horizontally at the end of a
vertical rod which is mounted in bear
ings carried by an upright post, so that
the rod can be rotated. Near the bottom
of the bar Is n cross piece, to the ends
of which two strings pass to the hands
of the observer. while underneath is a
circle graduated with the points Of the
compass. The method of observation is
to select the cloud to he observed. stand
on the side Of the post opposite the
| cloud, and with the strings rotate the
upright rod and therefore the comb until
| the cloud appears to pass along the
points of the comb 1t will be necessary
| to approach or recede from the pole until
this appears to take place. Then, stand.
ing still, note the time the cloud takes
! to move from one point to the next
Finally, note the orientation OF the comb
by means of the graduated circle at the
bottom of the rod This gives at once
the direction OF motion of the clouds
while the apparent velocity Of the cloud
along the comb Is measure Of the rate
at which the cloud is moving. expressed
In terms OF the height of the cloud. For
example, II two clouds at heights Of 300
feet and 5000 feet appear to be moving
at the same rate along the comb. then
the latter Is actually moving twice as
fast as the former.
The height Of cloud is not so easily
determined. Usually two observers each
provided with n theodolite. are required
but sometimes one theOdolite can he
| made to suffice. This instrument has It's
telescope removed and two parallel plates
of glass arranged in place Of the tc!e-
scope. Then two images of the cloud-onc
formed by reflection in the glass, the
other by reflection in small sheet of
water lying on the ground below. are
made to coincide by rotating the plates
of glass. The position of the plates 50
determined Is read of on the graduated
circle shown near the observers hand.
Tho height can then he computed mathe-
matically.
! AS a result of these observations. it is
! found that. in general. II one stands with
ones back to the wind. low clouds move
in about the same direction as the sur
| face-air while the higher clouds travel
nearly in the same direction. but have !,
motion from left to right which becomes
more pronounced as the height increases
High clouds usually travel much more
quickly than lower ones. although ap.
parently they do not.
I The highest clouds rarely exceed a
height OF six miles.

State needs less to distract and more

Second, the Governor e said to be

for men of moderate means to hold the
office of Governor without financial
