HELPFUL WORDS
From a Stanford Citizen.

Is your back lame and painful?
Does it ache especially after exer-
ton?
Is there soreness in the kidney
region?
These symptoms suggest weak kid
neys.
If so there is danger in delay.
Weak kidneys get fast weaker.
Give your trouble prompt atten-
ton.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Your neighbors use and recommend
them.

HON. DANIEL Mckay
ADDRESSES WOMAN'S CLIYR

A fine meeting of the Malta Wom-
ans club occurred at the pretty new
home of Mrs. R. M. Traitor on Sat-
urday afternoon, and was very we'll
attended. A musical program ar
ranged by Mrs. Hall, gave much
pleasure to those present, each num-
Der being encored Miss Dorothy
Coburn sang "The Winter Lullaby"
and followed it with Spanish
dance. Master Henry Secrest fol-
lowed with humorous poem and
Miss Edna Partridge gave a vocal
solo. Mrs. Campbell closed the pro-
gram with piano selections.
The feature of the day was an adj
dress by Hon. Daniel Mckay on the
subject of state division, on which
he is a we'll known enthusiast and
an ardent supporter. Mr.. Mckay
gave his views on the differing needs
of the farming as opposed to the
mining interests in clear, convinc-
ing manner, and gave his listeners
much food for thought on his views.
The next meeting of the club will
be held in the Congregational
church on January 8th, with Mrs.
Kirton, Mrs. Tressler and Miss Berg
hostess. At the close of the meet
ing complete and most delicious
lunch was served by Mrs. Trafton.
This was one of the most enjoyable
meetings of the year.

CLEAN PICTURES.

One thing more than another that
will determine permanency of any
exhibitor in the motion picture bust
ness today is the class of film he is
showing. The public mind has
been so stirred by the agitation of
the censorship question throughout
the country that people everywhere
who are interested in the film form
of entertainment are increasingly
demanding clean pictures.
The producers of the pictures on
Paramount Program have adopted
the highest standard yet attained.
Their intent is to make clean pict-
ures without detracting in any de-
gree from the dramatic interest of
the story being told on the screen.
That this is being accomplished
is partly due to the superior direc-
ton in the making of the film; the
direction of man who is not only
a cultured thinker but who possess
es dramatic and artistic ability to
bring his production to the highest
degree of perfection.
The result is a picture that, from
every technical tandpoint-photo-
graphy, acting, settings, costumine
and acknowledgements the work
of experts in each and every detail
of the film creation.

OIL LAND WITHDRAWN.

Oil men in the Billings country
we're thrown into excitement by an
nouncement from the land office of
a special order signed by President
Wilson on Dec. 6, withdrawing from
entry approximately 40 square
miles of government land lying in
the Elk basin and Dry creek, fields
in Carbon county, near the Wyom-
ing line, and the Lake basin country
in Saltwater county, northwest of
Billings, in all of which extensive
oil prospecting is now in progress
or about to be undertaken.
BY virtue of the order no more
applications for homesteads will be
received and no more patents will be
issued until the land has been CLASH
fled and the mineral rights concern
ed to the government by the filing
of waivers. However, that the order
will have absolutely no influence
on the rights of the holders of
state placer claims it was stated
by Fred H. Foster, registrar at the
land Office, who said also that it will
not hinder the development of light
innate oil exploitation in the district
withdrawn, it's object being solely
to protect agricultural entrynfen.

ALFALFA IN ROWS.

The forage problem on irrigated
farms is one of the most important
in Montana. With plenty of forage
dry-land farming can be assured of
success and permanent corn fits this
farming scheme we'll in many parts
of the state, and alfalfa is the best
natural supplement- to corn.
The success of alfalfa on dry
lands depends largely on getting a
good root system the first season. To
do this plenty of room is needed.
The plan of sowing in rows thirty
to forty inches apart, using only one
or two pounds of seed per acre, is
becoming quite general. Better
crops are secured in this way than
by broadcast seeding. The cultiva-
ton between the rows and occasion
al cross narrowing aereates the soil
and conserves moisture. Half ton
more hay per acre has been secured
from row culture than by broad
casting.
The country agriculturists in ex-
tension service are carrying on an
alfalfa-in-row program over the
state. Lantern slides showing the
success of this work will be shown
at Bozeman, Farmers Week, Janu
airy 1920.

SACO HAS GAS WE'LL.

That Saco is in a big gas and oil
region was proven a few days ago
when flame shot several feet into
the air after a lighted match had
been applied to point where the
Kissing air was escaping from a leak
on a capped we'll, on the farm of A.
H. Martin, prominent farmer liv-
ing near town.
A few years ago Mr.. Martin in
search of water, had a we'll drilled
to depth of several hundred feet.
Satisfactory water was not found,
however, so the we'll was capped
and left. In drilling this we'll work
shale near the surface which they
were never able to go through on
account of it's great thickness, and
while using their hydraulic drill a
heavy, dark oil like substance would
often form a heavy coat over the
water they were using, believed to
be a seapage of crude oil.
From time to time strange and
wierd sounds escaped from this we'll
giving it the name of Martins roar
ing we'll So violent have been these
sounds at times that stock have
been frightened from the barnyard
in which the we'll is located.

bed of porous shale and some of il
