TOOK HINT FROM NEWSPAPER
How Ono Woman Kept Clippings on
All Subjects In Which She
Might Be Interested.

A young wife who was always well
informed and brimful of ideas, stories,
and current topics, explained her meth.
cd thus:
i formerly worked on q daily news
paper where they had 'morgue' which
is newspaper slang for filing cabinet
devoted to clippings and information
on every subject under the sun. When
l married / resolved to adopt the sys-
tenn, on smaller scale, to my own
needs, and reserved a couple of pigeon
holes in my desk for the purpose. Then
purchased at newspaper Office two
dozen stout No. IL MANILA envelopes.
Those labeled.
I'm pigeon hole No. / I placed Gift
Suggestions. Holiday Celebrations,
Parties and Entertainments, High Cost
OF Living, Household Economics,
Dress, Attractive House Plans, Home
Decoration and Applied Art, Gardens,
Fancy Work, and two envelopes for
Receipts.
In pigeon hole no. l placed Book
Reviews and Authors, Art, New Plays
and Players, Prominent People, Cur,
rent Events, Anecdotes, Poems, Fam.
lily History Data, Nature Study, Vaca-
ton Suggestions, and two blank en-.
yelopes for other subjects in which |
might become interested.
Into these envelopes went all clip
pings from magazines and newspapers
pertaining to these subjects When a
friend went to Rome to live, l added
ITALY so that l might keep in touch
with her. When my club began the
study Of German l had a ready re-
ceptacle for copies of German notes.
Thus my 'morgue' grew, so that
now have four pigeon holes, and
40 envelopes, containing a useful.

BOOKS HELD AS BEYOND PRICE
Volumes In Which Visitors to Royalty
Have Inscribed Their Names Are
Most Carefully Preserved.


Two new visitors books have re-
gently been provided at Buckingham
palace, and the old ones have gone to
Join the many others that are in the
eafe keeping Of the Lord Chamber
lain's department
The value of these books to auto
sraph-hunters is almost impossible to
estimate, and some sensation was
caused about the court a few years
ago when 1t was announced that one
was missing. Fortunately a careful
search revealed its whereabouts.
The books are bound in crimson
leather, with an imperial crown
stamped on the back, and are secured
with q silver clasp. AS rule, each
book lasts for about two years, but
upon the occasion of the death Of
King Edward over a hundred pages
were taken up with signatures OF
callers.
One of the books is kept at the am
bassadors' entrance to the palace for
the use of the diplomatic corps and
o6icial visitors. and the other Is at the
eQuerries' entrance and is used by the
general circle.
Everyone entering or leaving the
palace ia called upon to sign one or
other Of these books.-Tit-Bits

HELPS WHEN PLANTING SEEDS
Amateur Gardener Gives a Few Words
of Advice, Seemingly Both Sea-
sonabIe and Sensible.

For a long time I chung to the Old
way of marking the places where
sowed in my garden the seed Of an.
nual flowers; that is to say, l slipped
the little envelopes over the sticks
and placed these in the beds. Winds
often carried the papers away, or rain
washed out the printed name. and
was no better off than l should have
been If I had trusted to my memory
alone. Last year, however, l really
did improve on this old plan by plac
ing a small flower pot over each en-
velope and stick, and it proved to be
a very satisfactory method.
A next door neighbor who was
planting some seeds the other day
had, it seemed to me, still better
plan. She wrote the name of the
flower or vegetable ON slip of paper
and placed 1t in small bottle, put in
the cork and stuck the bottle halt
way into the SOIL BY the way. when

such as the millionaire employers like
to see their girls wear, are the very
waists they themselves retail at not

and call it $3.50 each. That makes
the total $55.8S. -
There are four months of the year
when the girls must dress in black.
Not black lawn-black sateen or

The cheapest sateen waist you can
buy is $1.9S, and the girl must have
at least three in the four months.
That brings the total to $61.S2.
Shoes-you wouldn't believe me if
told you the actual cost of the leath-
er in a SO pair of shoes, but if that is
one of the things that Montgomery
Ward sells Mr. Thorne is familiar
with the profit the jobber makes from
the retailer-and the retailer, of
course adds his little percentage. The
sensible girl buys So shoes and they
last four months. My little 16 to 20
year girl buys satin shoes and velvet
shoes at sales where they are priced
at $1.98 and gets about five pair a
year. That brings the total to $71.72.

LARGE TRACTION ENGINE
GOES THROUGH BRIDGE

The mammoth Advance engine
which Earl Wagner piloted to Ra-
valli last week, went through the
Post creek bridge, and for a time
it looked like the creek would be
it's temporary home. Every pre-
caution was taken to safeguard
the bridge, three-inch plank hay-
ing been carried along for the
purpose, just as the law provides
shall be done, but one side of the
bridge had rotted to such an ex-
tent as to weaken the stringers
and down it went. Mr.. Scarce
took a force of men and went
down to help get it out and after
arriving there decided a block
and tackle and some log chains
were needed. He went on to
Ravalli after the tackle but
while he was gone Harry Larson
and Earl Wagner experimental
with long rope wrapped around
the fly wheel and the G. F.

out with this contrivance. Each
pull was enough to move the en-
gine a little and this gain was
all held fast, and before Mr..
Scearce got back the engine was
on solid ground and ready to
proceed to Ravalli. The horses
are said to have been as true as
steel, pulling every ounce they
could every time they were
asked.
After arriving at Ravalli with
the engine it was loaded on a
car and the weight broke one Of

The Work Team

One of the worst mistakes a
farmer can make is to feed
heavily during the winter season
when work is slack and to feed
slightly in summer when work
continues all day and every day.
Only last week | saw a team
owned by a young but at the
same time rather opinionated
farmer. This team was fed dur
ing the winter all the grain and
forage it would eat.
AS the season advanced the
price Of hay and grain became
higher. Money might have
been a little tight, perhaps. At
any rate, feed was sold that
should have been kept. The
working season arrived. Crops
must be put in and cultivated,
feed was short and the teams
suffered.
When | saw them they were
living skeletons, and deprecated
rs per cent, so far as cash value
was concerned. 1t seemed to me
to be mighty poor management
stufiing your work horses IN the
idle season and starving them at
the very time they need the best
of care.
Just think a moment Of the
plentiful food the women folk
prepare for you three times daily,
especially during the harvest
season! Then imagine how the
horse must feel that pulls a plow,
binder, mower or wagon all day
on insufficient feed,
There is no economy or busi-
ness sense in feeding sparingly
during the long, hot, busy sum-
mer season. A pair of strong,
well-fed and well-kept horses
will do more work than four
starved ones. Inter- Ocean.

BARN DESTROYED

c. w. Ozmun who has a ranch
on the south side of Grow creek
and west of Roman about seven
miles, had the misfortune to lose
his barn and hay stacks last
Thursday by fire. He had just
finished threshing and the ma
chine had moved to his brother s
place and finished there and
were returning to the road when
sparks from the engine set the
straw on fire. Care had been
taken to guard against just such
a contingency but before it was
discovered the fire had gained
such headway as to preclude it
being eXtinguished. Neighbors
from all directions gathered at
once to help all they could and
succeeded in saving the wheat
of last year and this which was
stored in a granary near by, but
the barn and oat hay stacks were
entirely destroyed, the loss being
in the neighborhood of $1,000,
without any insurance.
Such catastrophies are very
discouraging and the loss is
keenly felt by Mr.. Ozmun.

whom it is done this elevator will
be the handiest of all along the
line between Missoula and Spo-

Mr.. Reynolds is from Minncso-
ia and is a practical grain man,
He will devote all his time to the
buying and handling of grain.
He was in Roman on the day the
sale was made and expressed him
self as confident that after this
year the market for all this sec.
tlon OF Montana would be the Pa
clilc coast cities. The opening of
the Panama canal will make an
export market for the coast cities
and the grain and other products
OF this section will go that way.
Mr.. O'Connel is one of the st.
lgnatius merchants and believes
it good policy to make market
for all the grain produced here,
and associated himself with Mr..
Reynolds for that purpose.
