! "All right" he said hoarsely. Tt
1t doesn't matter. Don't worry
She stretched out her hand TO him
held 1t moment between both Of
his, then released it and went hur-
riedly out.
AS the door closed, Shirley sat
down, her head dropping into her
hands like storm-broken flower. Val
liant had accepted the flnality Of the
situation. With a wave of deeper
hopelessness than had yet submerged
her, she realized that, against her own
decision, something deep within her
had taken shy and secret comfort in
his stubborn masculine refusal
Against all fact, in face Of the impos-
sible, her heart had been clinging to
this-as though his love might even
attain the miraculous and somewhere,
somehow, recreate circumstance. But
now he, too, had bowed to the decree.
A kind Of utter apathetic wretched-
ness seized upon her, to replace the
sharp misery that had 80 long been
her companion-an empty numbness
in which, In a measure, she ceased to
feel.
An hour dragged slowly by and at
length she rose and went slowly up
the stairs. Her head felt curioqsly
heavy, but 1t did not ache. Outside
her mothers door, as was her custom,
she paused mechanically to listen. A
tiny pencil of light struck through the
darkness and painted spot of bright
ness on her gown. It came through
the keyhole; the lamp In her mothers
room was burning. "She has fallen
asleep and forgotten It," she thought,
and softly turning the knob, pushed
the door noiselessly open and entered
A moment she stood listening to the
low regular breathing of the sleeper.
The reading-lamp shed shaded glow
on the pillow with it's spread-out sir
yer hair, and on the delicate hands
clasped loosely on the coverlet. Shir-
ley came close and looked down on
the placid face. 1t was smooth as
child's and a smile touched 1t lightly
as If some pleasant sleep-thought had
Just laid rosy fingers on the dreaming
lips. The light caught and sparkled
from something bright that lay be-
tween her mothers hands. It was the
enamel brooch that held her own baby
curl, and she saw suddenly that what
she had all her life thought was a
solid pendant, was now open locket-
wise and that the two halves cfasped
miniature 1t came to her at once
that the picture must be Saesoon's,
and a quick thrill of pity and yearn-
ing welled up through her own dejec-
ton. STOPPING, she looked at 1t close
ly. She started as she did SO, for the
face on the little disk Of ivory was
that of John Valiant
An instant she stared unbeliev1ngly.
Then recollection of the resemblance
of which Valiant had told her rushed
to her. and she realized that 1t must
be the picture of his father. The fact
shocked and COMPOUNDED her. Why
should her mother carry in secret the
miniature Of the man who had

STATE FAIR OFFERS
PRIZES TO WOMEN
Increased Awards for Culinary,
Sewing and Art.

In Difference to the women of Mon
tana the state fair management has
this year substantially increased the
prizes in the culinary, fancy work
and fine arts departments. Besides
more than $1,000 in regular prizes
there are numerous special offerings
which should arouse the interest OF
the cook and seamstress, as we'll as
the artistically inclined wielder of
the brush. Competent superintend-
ents have been secured to see that
all possible care is given the numer-
GUS entries, which this year bid fair
to exceed the exceptional record of
last year. OF the thousand of entries
last year a marvellous record was
made in that every article was ulti-
mately returned to It's owner in per.
feet shape.
Among the prizes which are es-
pecially serviceable the offer of j. A.
Folger & Co. of San Francisco is at
tracing great interest among the dew
otees of the culinary art Fifty cases
of Folger's spices will be distributed
to the winners in the cooky, jelly,
preserves and pickle division. The
assortment includes a full variety of
spices and would be valuable addi.
ton to any kitchen cabinet Hazen
J. Titus, superintendent of the North
ern Pacific dining car service, who
made Montana potatoes famous by
naming the N. P. railroad "The Route
of the Great Big Baked Potato" has
offered for the best six jars of canned
fruit made from Montana orchard
products a giant fruit cake of the
sort which will keep we'll for the fes.
tive board at Christmas time. This
cake will be made by the most ex.
pert chef and will be exhibited all
the week of the fair from Sept. 81
to 26 in the culinary department m
the second floor of Agricultural hall.
The fancy work division will in.
clude tatting, lace embroidery, drawn
work and plain sewing, with first and
second prizes in all awards. The com.
petition in the fine arts department
is by it's very nature confined almost
exclusively to women and the in
crease in prizes in this section from
last year is enough to warrant very
keen competition, which by rules OF
the department is confined exclusive
ly to bona fide amateurs.

WAR WILL DEVELOP
AMERICAN RESOURCES

"A direct benefit to the people
of the United States from the
European war will be its effect
in making the people of this
country realize to a greater ex-
tent the value of it's mineral re-
sources" says Franklin K. Lane.
secretary of the interior. "Of
an Importance second only to
that of the food supply" says
Mr.. Lane, is the supply of min
eral products necessary to meet
the requirements of twentieth
century civilization. One of the
first effects of the war has been
to make US realize the interde-
pendence Of nations in the mat
ter of food supply. Most of the
countries now at war are de-
pendent upon importation of
foodstuffs, and we have cause
for self-congratulation in the
United States that we are able
to feed ourselves. What we have
possibly not so fully realized is
that we are nearly as indepen-
dent in the possession Of essen
tial mineral resources, and that
the interference with manufac-
turing caused by interruption Of
the flow of importations of many
necessary raw materials, may be
overcome almost wholly by de-
yelopment of neglected resources
IN our own country.
The main difficulties to be
overcome are in the rearrange-
ment of the distribution system
necessary to establishing this in
dependence. Business is estab-
llshed along certain we'll marked
channels, and usually follows the
line of least resistance. It has
been easier, and perhaps cheaper,
to import mineral products and
materials from other countries
than to go to the trouble and ex-
pense of developing our own re-
sources of the same nature.
Forced to the latter course by
the suspension of commerce with
other countries, | believe that
American enterprise and energy
will almost at once turn to the
development of the native re-
sources, rather than permit pro-
duction to lag and supply to be
diminished in any industry.
The Ronan pioneer. [volume] (Ronan, Mont.) 1910-1970, 1914-08-28

to handle school books, it will be
necessary for teachers in schools
situated at a distance from the
towns to Immediately order by
parcel post from Helena, the
books needed by their pupils, col
lecting and renting as rapidly
as the books are distributed. The
children must pay cash. For Ro-
nan and vicinity Stanley Scarce
will handle the books; for St. Ig-
natius, Miss Dowd; for Arlee, the
Demers Mercantile Co.
At the end of your first week
send a copy of your program to
the district superintendent, with
any questions Or requests for adj
vice and assistance in any way.
Also send list of supplies that
you would like.
Make every effort for a good
start. Meet your patrons. Enter
into their life as much as you can
and enrich it. Enrich the play
periods of your school with out
door games and experimentation.
For your good and theirs you
must play with your children.
They should work with you and
play with you with equal enthus-
iasm. Volley ball and long bali
are inexpensive and wonderfully
effective games which you could
use splendidly during our long
fall and early winter.
Nature work, in its practical,
aesthetic, and moral aspects, is
the central theme of successful
school teaching. Please
have this in mind from the be-
ginning. Get at least one exhibit
from your school in farm or gar
den produce and in sewing or
woodwork. Have all exhibits
ready by Sept. IS; the county fair
comes the 9th, district compe-
titions earlier. Prepare for con-
testing in the state fair if you
can. Write the state superin-
tendent for prize list.
Do not forget your facilities for
teaching on a basis of direct
sense experience.
A hearty welcome to all to the
work that awaits US here.
Sincerely, S. r. LOGAN.
