 From all accounts his engagement to Miss Marshall was the result of a brief but pretty romance aboard the ocean liner, Lusitania, aboard which they were recently fellow passengers from Europe. There are stories of moonlit walks on the promenade deck, lasting until the early hours of the next day. It was remarked by the passengers that the young man seemed deeply smitten.
 These interested passengers had their reward a day or two before the Lusitania reached the port of Ney. York. For some time the young mau

Marshall Field, 3rd

\ YOUNG AMERICA, just now
 scoring heavily against Old
 Europe, proclaims as It's cham pion Marshall Field, 3d-the richest boy in the world.
 The favorite grandson of Americas Merchant Prince" although reared and educated in England, with young lords for schoolmates, and possessed of an English accent that will stick to him through life, proves that he is still American through and through.
 Turning from the aristocratic beauties of the country he knows best because most of his life has been spent there, Marshall Field, 3d, comes home to America for his wife.
 With every reason connected with boyhood associations to become an expatriate, he is true to the land of his birth in the chief essential of such f1delity-the organization of his own domestic future existence on a wholly patriotic basis. His be- trothed wife is as solidly American as IS the old New England family which produced Marshall Field. 1st
 The future Mrs. Marshall Field. Sd, Is Miss Evelyn Marshall, daughter or the late Charles H. Marshall. of New York City. Her mother, also a member of an old New York family. was Miss Josephine Lenox Banks.
 Miss Marshall has already proved her own stanch Americanism. Al though she has lived much abroad with her mother, and is heiress to fortune of no mean proportions, she successfully resisted all attempts to win her with title. From her lat est period of residence abroad she came home free and heart-whole, to be promptly won by the celebrated young American who was bringing home heart in that same state.
 It is said that the marriage of Marshall Field, Sd, and Miss Evelyn Marshall will occur very shortly. That it will be emphatically a sen sible marriage on both sides admits of no argument. It will maintain upon the soil of this country through at least a fourth generation family typlcally American, and the greatest fortune ever accumulated in the straight and narrow road of ;egiti- mate commerce.
 Marshall Field, Sd, is heir to three fifths of the estate left by his grand father, Chicago's merchant prince, the remainder going ultimately to his younger brother, Henry, and his sister, Gwendolyn. But the bulk of the estate will not be divided until the principal heir is fifty years old. At the rate of increase which has prevailed since the great merchants death some fifteen years ago, Mar shall, at the age of fifty, will be in full control of a fortune estimated at 400,000,000.
 The founder of the family was not only a great merchant, but great dnancier. Outside of his gigantic business in merchandise, his invest ments were of the most conservative character compatible with generous returns. They were made with the remarkable foresight which served the merchant prince through life. His will placed the estate in trust, to be administered up to the date fixed for it's final division by men only less shrewd and far-sighted than himself.
 It is matter of general knowledge

conform to his grandfather's wishes, making his home and his career in this country and keeping his fortune here.
 When Marshall Field, Sd, is twen. ty-fiye years old, he will receive from the trustees of the Field estate a further payment of $450,000. Each five years thereafter, including his forty-fifth birthday, he will receive a similar sum. The next payment will be on his fiftieth birthday. when he will receive outright the bulk of his great inheritance with the accu. mutations of about forty years under expert management. As already mentioned, the prospect is that he will then find himself master of something like $400,0OO,OOO.
 The marriage of Marshall Field, Sd, and Miss Evelyn Marshall, so 1t is said, is to be quiet affair, some time during the coming February. Their plans for the honeymoon and for tho future are not yet announced.

future peers of the realm. At Eton the boys live in different houses, each in charge of tutor. Marshall Field, Sd, was domiciled with Lord Airlie and Lord Compton.
 After period of physical delicacy as child he had developed into a bright. cheery lad, fond of his studies, enthusiastic in sports and exceedingly popular with his school companions. His holidays were spent at his mothers spacious country home, Danesbury, at Welwyn in Hertsfordshire.
 It was all the easier for Mrs. Drum mond to bring up her boys as little Englishmen, owing to their prompt acceptance of their handsome, mili- tary father-in-law. to whom they speedily became devoted.

 During the last half dozen years, Mrs. Drummond has repeatedly been mentioned in the cable news as hay ing some such ambitions for her sons. On his mothers side Captain Drummond had host of titled rela- tions-in fact, from her standpoint, there was every reason why the mother of Marshall Field, Sd, should lock horns with the hard headed trus- tees of the Marshall Field estate. Compared with England, America no longer was anything to her, and the children had few memories of any associations that were not Eng lish
 As to Marshall Field, 3d, all these ambitions and hopes now appear to have been in vain. He is to marry an American girl of an established American family, and 1t is to be ex- pected that from now on he will

A general campaign has been
launched all over the state against

upon the minds of the children, they
are to be taught how to keep healthy

The state board of health, the State
Association of Graduate Nurses, and

TRIBUTE TO MONTANA PEOPLE
Superintendent of Children's Home
Society Tells of Generous Response
to Appeals For Homes.

Helena.-Just what is being done for
unnamed babies and helpless orphans
was told to the members of the Com
mercial club in an interesting little
talk by ]. V. Hawk, superintendent of
the Montana Childrens Home society
at the regular weekly luncheon. The
subject discussed by Mr.. Hawk was
something out of the ordinary and
for that reason proved doubly inter-
esting to those present.
Mr.. Hawk paid g, tribute to the
whole-heartedness of the people of
Montana in taking the little orphans
into their homes and giving them
chance to become useful citizens. He
said that people who knew of the
work of the society always met their
appeals with generous response, and
the applications for children, he said,
was greater at the present time than
there were children in the home.

LESS DELINQUENCY IN TAXES
Total in Lewis and Clark County PIac.
ed $1,000 by County Treasurer
After Checking Receipts.

Helena.-There was less delin-
quency in taxes in Lewis and Clark
county this year than in 1914, accord
ing to figures compiled by the county
treasurer, E. Fischl. Since the first
of the month Mr.. Fischl and his force
of deputies have been checking over
the tax receipts and work has just
been completed in order that an ac-
curate estimate of the delinquency
could be made.
The total delinquency for this year
was approximately $4,000, of which
over $4,000 is due from the large
corporations who have allowed their
taxes to become delinquent in order
to take the question of excessive or
unjust taxes into court. In some in
stances the court has prohibited the
county treasurer from seeking to col
lect the taxes until the litigation is
finally determined in court. This
makes an actual delinquency of lit
tie less than $1,000, as against a de-
linquency of approximately $4,000 for
last year, according to Mr.. Fischl.

knocked the rear trucks off the track.
The tragedy was discovered when
