that the contrast between equatorial and

MAKE IT 4 CHRISTMAS OF
SMILES AND GOOD CHEER

Our housekeepers have been laying in Christ
mas supplies so that the tables during the holidays
may be attractive That is altogether the right
thing to do, for sitting at the same table and en-
joying good things brings people closer together.
Good fellowship is promoted, friendships made and
the wrinkles are smoothed out somewhat. Let no
one, who has full pantry, forget to send por
ton to the unfortunate, the needy, the lonely and
the isolated ones.
While table dainties are enjoyable, that is not
the best part of this Christmas season. Most peo-
pie stand in need of smiles and words of good
cheer and friendly interest than of food however
artfully it may be prepared Superficial smiles will
not pass. An artist might paint smiling face on
a piece of marble but underneath the smile is the
cold marble. No stage-likc smile is current 1t is
only sham which hides the cold selhshness with
in. 1t is easy to distinguish the real smile. which
is the Overlooking OF the good heart within and
cannot be kept back. 1t is as attractive as the
bubbling water which rises up in the spring with
the bottom covered with white sand The clear
water pushes its way up Just because it cannot

help it. When you go around Overlooking with
affection and sympathy, with a constant desire to
make others happy, you need not study how to
smile. They will come up unbidden and cannot
be restrained.
In Washington Christmas is sort OF family
holiday. That is good in part but there is a sort
Of God bless me and my wife, my son John and
his wife, us four and no more spirit in that. Such
is the tendency in these family celebrations. 1t
should be an occasion for making informal calls and
the exchange OF greetings and manifestations of
real friendship. Move outside OF the home circle.
Broaden out little and YOU will feel all the bet
ter for it.
If you will forget self for few days there
will appear several opportunities for making others
thankful for Christmas and for you and your
thoughtful ministrations. II you make only your
own immediate family happy on this occasion, YOU
will miss the full meaning OF the great lesson
OF JOY and Thanksgiving set before you. May every
reader of The Herald prepare in heart and mind
to have happy Christmas and to make others
happy.

MONTANA'S CLIMATE THE BEST

Some green grass three to five in
ches tall, clover, and other thrifty
plants reached The ENTERPRISE Of
flee Monday from the yard of Mrs.
Wallace d. Coburn's ranch home at
Brookside. In note accompanying
the vegetation Mrs. Coburn says;
II am sending you sign of Spring
just to show you what Old Sol is do
ing in our country. This exhibit is
from our yard but the range is COW
cred with shoots of grass. 1t has
been Chinooking here for two months
and we have had typical May wealth
er." The editor is grateful to Mrs.
Coburn for this bit of greenn ess and
indication of spring-time life for it
demonstrates more forcibly than
mere words another phase of this
wonderful climate. And while in
Malta during the past few weeks
we have had to move lively over the
deep snow-coyered ground to prevent
Jack Frost from nipping fingers, toes
and nose, the residents at Brookside,
only fifty miles distant, have been
luNuriating in Old SOILS warm smiles
and feasting their eyes OH the verdi
ure his sunshine has produced. In
speaking of the productivity of the
soil Mrs. Coburn states that Brook
side ranch also produced two crops
of good oats and the third crop
got started.
But few years ago our geogra-
phies and newspapers pictured Mon
tana as desolate, forbidding place.
But those who have ventured ON the
chances Of new life here have found
the statements erroneous. They
have found it better. pleasanter, and
more healthful than elsewhere. Af-
ter taking daylight walk across the
country at this time of year, can one
forget the glory of the sun and air?
Forty below zero weather, that we
occasionally experience, is not more
uncomfortable than zero weather in
New York and rarely lasts longer
