HOME ECONOMICS WORKER
COMING TO MONTANA

Miss McCheney has been selected
by the U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture as the most efficient Home Eco
monies demonstration in the service.
Her home demonstrations in Utah
attracted wide and favorable notice.
Shall we cooperate with the Home
Economics staff of Montana in work
in this state. Her lectures, "Home
Economics Demonstrations for Wo-
men, and "How We Got Into the
Homes of UTAH, illustrated with
lantern slides, are unique. Her
round table conferences on home
methods are of great value and in
terest. Besides Miss Katherine Jen-
sen and the Home Economics facul-
ty, Miss McCheyne will be assisted in
her work by other noted specialists.
Negotiations are pending for Mrs.
Nellie Kidzie Jones, already known
in Montana as the queen of cooking
demonstrators, and Mrs. Henrietta
Calvin, the highest priced Home
Economics specialist in America.
The Home Economics work at
Bozeman during Farmers Week,
January oath to 30th, will be the
most complete and valuable ever
scheduled in the State. While this
instruction for Montana women is
being given, the men of the State
will have instruction in live stock
subjects by some of the leading au-
thorities in the country.

A SCHOOL FOR sTOCKMEN.

After it's recognition as a great
mining region, Montana came to be
known as a stockmen's paradise. No
region possesses better all the year
ranges. Growing competition for
land is making it necessary to i'm
prove the quality of live stock and
market earlier than formerly.
A convention and school of stock
men has been called at Bozeman for
the last week in January, to study
the live stock problems of Montana.
At this meeting stockmen from all
over the State will assemble to con-
slider live stock matters, and listen
to addresses by such men as Dean
Robert Shaw of Michigan, Professor
Cochel of Kansas, and others in
Guiding those best qualified in Mon
tana.
A special school for horse breed
ers with demonstrations in horse
anatomy will be one of the features,
a more detailed announcement of
which will appear later. The causes
and remedies for sterility in both
mares and stations will be ex-
planned by those who have made a
special study of the subject.
Professor G. N. Arnett, the re-
Gently appointed head of the Depart
ment of Animal Husbandry, in the

A BRUTAL ACT.

A fellow by the name of Pomeroy
of the Big Hole Basin country, has
been arrested for killing horse in
that section. It seems Pomeroy was
sent to Deer Lodge valley after the
horse by the owner of one of the
large ranches in the Big Hole coun-
try. He secured the animal and
started home with it leading the
horse behind the one he was riding.
The horse refused to lead and Pom
eroy dismounted and began to beat
the animal. He then knocked the
horse unconscious with some i'm
plement and not satisfied with this
began throwing rocks at the poor
beast and left it to die in the road.
He was soon apprehended by the
officers and lodged in JAIL The pen
atty for this offense in Montana is
from one to ten years and it is hoped
he gets the limit.

STEP-MOTHER TAKES CHILD

A case was tried before Judge Ut
ter, of Glasgow, last week, in which
Mrs. Chas. Jones of Bismark, ILL.,,
took possession of a 6 year old step
daughter, who had been brought up
by Mr.. and Mrs. John Jones of
Nashua.
The little girls mother died short
ly after her birth, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones took the infant at that time,
caring for and obtaining possession
of her up until the time of the action
brought by Mrs. Chas. Jones, the
step-mother.
The child had become greatly at
tached to the grand parents and
could not have possibly had better
home. The Jones were also very
fond of the child and tried in every
way to keep her with them.
The case was decided, however, in
favor of the step-mother, but it is
very evident that the home the little
girl goes to will be anything but a
pleasant one.-Nashua Independent.

The following article taken from
the Lewistown Argus shows that the
people of that wide-awake city in
the Judith Basin country are GER
tainly alive to their interests:
The gold mines in the Little
Rockies, near the town of Zortman,
are likely to develop into something
largely worth while in very short
time and with a little effort in the
way of road building the camp and
it's auxiliary coal mining c amp
might be brought into Lewistown's

looking after receipts of 250,OO0
pounds of supplies and material
which will come in by rail to Lewis
ton, thence to Winifred, from which
point it will be hauled 40 miles
across rough country to the power
plant of the mines, which is located
on the Missouri river about 20 miles
south of the mines proper.

work at this plant and the nearby

creased to 60 men in the very near
future.
Several carloads of these supplies
were ordered through Lewistown
dealers and all that is needed to
make Lewistown tn permanent

prove the roads between Winifred
and the power plant of the mines.
The matter is considered of suf-
fcient Importance by businessmen
to have it presented to the Chamber
of Commerce with request that
that body memorialize the county
commissioner to take soma action
toward making the road good be-
