MISS MAYBASKET
do not think you need to be deeply
worried, young lady, when you have
so many suitors. 1t seems to me that
you don't know your own mind or
heart very well. If you had decided
to accept one of your old suitors, you
must have thought yourself in love
with him. You think yourself in love
with the new man in the same way.
have an idea that your chief wish is to
add his scalp to your collection annd
that it's selflove that is troubling you.
II the young man is going to be
attracted by you, he will manage to
let you know that he likes you. You
can't attract him by showing that you
have succumbed to his fascination.
Better let well enough alone and, if
you feel that you must marry, take
the best that is offered you.

PROPERTY VALUATION CROWS
State Tax Agent Says Assessment
Figures Show Remarkable
Increase.

"The total assessed valuation of all
property in the state will exceed
$400,O00,000 this year. Last year it
was about $382,O00,0O0," said G. M.
Houtz, the state tax agent, who was
in Butte from Helena.
Mr.. Houtz added that the augmen-
tation in property of taxable kind in
Montana is chiefly due to the large
number of homesteads which have
been patented since last assessment
time. There were $4,000 homestead
applications filed in Montana in 1913
and hundreds Of homesteads filed
upon within the past several years
have been brought under taxation
through patents issued by the govern.
.ment to the owners.
Besides that, many other kinds of
property have increased. The new
branch line of the Milwaukee railroad
from Lewiston to Great Falls, $50
miles in length, will be assessed for
the first time this year and will go
on the taxable list at valuation of
$1,500,O0O or more.
Speaking of the way the state is
growing Mr.. Houtz said: II was out
on the line of the Great Northern
from Havre east to the border lately
and had to telegraph ahead to every
place stopped to get accommoda-
tions. The way population is increas-
ing is astonishing"

u. S. Warns Against Allege 1
Hog Cholera Cures.

Evidence of what appears to be q
Well-organized campaign to delude
farmers throughout the country into
buying an alleged cure for hog chol-
era, under the impression that this
has been investigated and approved
by the United States Government, has
reached the Department of Agricul-
ture. Articles praising this medicine,
Benetol by name, are being. sent out
widespread to newspapers. These ar
ticles are so word9d that it appears as
it the Department of Agriculture had
received reports from the State of
Minnesota showing that the medicine
had proved most beneficial. AS a
matter OF fact the one report received
by the Department was an unofficial
and unsolicited statement sent pre-
sumably from the promoters them
selves. The Department attaches no
Importance whatsoever to this state
ment. 1t has no reason to believe in
the efficiency of any proprietary cure
for hog cholera, and does not recon-
mend any. Under certain conditions
it urges farmers to protect their stock
with anti-hog-ch serum, but that
is all.
In connection with this ATTEMPT it
may be said that the medicine, which
is now put forward as good for hogs,
was advertised some time ago as a
means of killing tuberculosis, typhoid,
and cancer germs, according to an ar
ticle published in the journal of the
American Association. At that time
it was asserted that the Army was in
terested in it, Asa matter of fact the
Army was no more interested then
the Department of Agriculture is now
In view of the evidence that the at
tempt to create this false impression
is persistent and widespread, all hog
owners are warned to communicate
with the United States authorities be-
, fore accepting as true any statement
that the Government recommends any
treatment other than the serum al
ready mentioned.

A definite step toward the settle

to do away with the telephone receiv-

Of both systems. The chairman of
the committee appointed by the Re-
tail Merchants association recon-
mended the method of settling the
matter, stating that without doubt
both systems were owned by the
same company.

Contest for Boys and Girls. :,

] Some boy and girl between the age
of twelve and eighteen years will be
guests of the Montana State Fair this
fall from Valley county y aia'Eapaf a
This trip will be awarded to the boy
raising the best twelve potatoes, and
the girl doing the best needle work on
a colset cover. Rules governing this
contest can be secured at the office OF
the Secretary of 1.-THE Fair Association
at the Glasgow Commercial Club
headquarters.
In 1913 the girl representing Valley
county was THE winner1 of the-Istate
prize for needlework, land there is
no reason why the vicinity cannot be
repeated. Every girl eligible should
center the race to the end that the
reputation for the Icounty may be
maintained.
The directors Of the Fair expect to
see a big list of those girls in Valley
county who are known to be expert
with the needle, showing their handi-
work at the fair in Glasgow in Sept.
The boys of the county should all
get in the race for the king of potato
growers, for the boy winning will be
king of them all in the county, and,
besides receiving the free trip to the
state fair, will be in line for winning
the state title, which will place him
among the great men of Montana. 1t
will mean that he will be presented
with a handsome medal by the Cover
nor of the state and receive the hon.
age of every other boy in the land.
There is great Importance attached to
winning this prize, SO much so that
each and every boy in Valley county
is urged to try for it.
