LITTLE MARY's ESSAY.
BY Dorothy Dix.

A widow is lady who has lost or
mislaid her husband.
Sometimes widow is very sad, and
sometimes she seems as the insurance
money looked good to her.
There are a great many different
kinds of widows There are grass wild
ows, and sod widows, and blonde wild
ows, and ugly, and poor widows, but
nobody pays any attention to them
A sad widow grieves but a grass wild
ows makes hay while the sun shines.
Men like widows, but ladies do not.
Ladies say that widows are cats, and
when | asked my mamma what that
meant, she said it was because a wild
ow always knows how to rub mans
fur down the right way, and to purr
over him. ~ ,g
4 l expect that widows are about the
snost intelligent aniInel there is.
Widows always talk to men about
good things to eat, and say that they
like the smell of good cigars, but girls
say that no gentleman would cast
smoke in lady's presence. There are
always lots of men hanging around a
widow.
There are many curious peculiarities
about a widow. One is that when a
widow is forty years old that every
body calls her young widow, and all
the men want to marry her, but when
a lady who has never had husband
IS forty years old everybody calls her
old maid, and you cant drag a man
near her.
do not know why this is so. Per
haps catching husband is like catch
ing flies, When you learn the trick OF
it, it isn't any trouble at all to do.
Also widows can go where they
please without having any chaperone,
and they have their own pocketbooks
and can buy new hat without having
anybody to make a row. over it. My
sister Mamie says that she wished she
had been born widow, with limou-
sine and one child.
When widows talk they always say
that they are so lonesome. This is be-
cause when lady hasn't got hus-
band she hasn't got anybody to COM
plain about, or to blame for things, Or

200, O00, 900 IN MONTANA WHEAT
Our Annual Output Soon, Declares Expert
Treasure State Grain Only Sound Crop u S This Year

Within the next ten years Mon-
tana will be producing over 100000
600 bushels of wheat annually, ac-
cording to J. +. Hammers, member
of the Chicago board of trade who has
spent some time in inspecting the
wheat growing districts Of the state
with the purpose of getting some idea
of the states wheat growing posi-
bilities.
Mr.. Hammer is also authority fol-
the statement that Montana will pro
duce the only sound wheat Of this
years harvest, and because Of this
fact Montana grown wheat is certain
to command better price than wheat
grown in other sections.
"Your state has the only sound
wheat for harvest this year, says

ern railroad. It has deposits Of $780,
100000, and is one of the big bank
ing institutions of the country. Mr..
Skinner accepted his new position at
the personal solicitation Of Louis W.
Hill, who has known Mr.. Skinner for
years and is personally acquainted
with his excellent record.
Mr.. Skinner came to Great Falls
twenty years ago and went to work
in the First National Bank. He af-
terward became assistant cashier, and
then cashier Of that institution. Three
years ago he saw an opportunity for
a new bank in Great Falls, where
there were then four old and we'll es-
tablished concerns. He organized the
Commercial National and has since
managed that institution. Within a
year, that institution showed footings
Of more than $1,000,000, and has
steadily gone ahead since.
Mr.. Skinner has long been active
as leader of the Montana Bankers
association, and for four years was
secretary and treasurer of that organ
ization.

are but great tracts of blighted grain
fields. The black rust wrought such
havoc that most of the grain growers
will not even cut the standing grain
for the straw. But in Montana the
grain runs heavy. We have always
known Of the excellence of Montana
oats. which makes the oats of other
states seem like schaff. -
Mr.. Hammers tells Of inspecting
the Dakota wheat being unloaded at
Minneapolis when he was there last
week The grain ran less than 40
pounds to the bushel, while Montana
wheat tips the scales at 60 and IS
pounds for every bushel in the cars.
One car Of ats he inspected seemed
to be nothing but grainshells and at
that it was the best the Dakotas had
produced this year.

MONTANA GRAIN CROP IS ABSOLUTELY ASSURED
The Montana grain crop no longer matter of uncertain
ty absolutely The weather for the past few
been ideal for harvesting and the Montana farmers
have all profd by this favorable condition with the result that
most of the grain is in safe condition.
The marketing of winter wheat we'll under and grades

have finally managed to visit your
wonderful fields, which promise a
commonwealth greater than any in the
east, and which will eventually make
the west the center of wealth in the
United States. !"
After viewing the agricultural pos
sibilities of the Lewistown and Cas-
cade sections, Mr.. Hammers declared
the grain output of the state will be
increased 10 times within as many
years. The scarcity Of grain this year
will make every farmer in Montana
prosperous, but they should not make
the mistake of holding out for higher
prices, as sudden victory of the
allies in Europe would cause a terribly
ing slump. Mr.. Hammers believes the
sudden drop of the grain market when
Rumania entered the war last week
was unwarranted, as alomst the entire
wheat crop this year will be needed
for local consumption.

ETHRIDCE FLAX CROP
IS BEST YET GROWN
GRAIN YIELD UNDER NORMAL
PRICE MAKES UP ALL
DIFFERENCES,

Ethridge.-The finest crop since
farming began in the Ethridge valley
will be secured this year, according to
reports now coming in from this part
of Toole county.
Alfred Hellenbar, farming in the
Marias Slope country, south of Eth
ridge, secured yield Of As bushels
to the acre from 10 acres planted to
spring grain. Threshing has just be-
gun.
The flax crop is the largest ever
seen here, and the acreage exceeds
that of all former years.
While the yield of grain probably
will not average quite as well as a
year ago the increased price will more
than offset the difference.

Work; Much Grain In Stack.

Fine harvesting weather was
the rule in various sections of the
state UP until about the middle of
the month, when repeated show
ers prevailed, causing some delay
in the harvesting Of grain. Just
now it is clearing, according to
the weather reports, and season
of good weather is in prospect.
Probably IS per cent of the crop
is in stack, or shock, or has been
threshed, so not a great deal Of
grain has been damaged by the

Heavy Frost
Damages Fruit

From Sacramento to Washington
state the fruit of the West suffered
heavily from the heavy frost last
Saturday night.
The grape crop Of California was
injured to an extent which will re-
duce it by 40 per cent, according to
reports.
At Ashland the thermometer fell
to q above zero and early garden
truck suffered a great deal. Through
out the valley the damage to the fruit
was considerable. Where smudging
was resorted to the effects were hard
ly noticed, but the hillside fruit suf-
fered in many parts of the valley.
The pears we're not injured much,
according to reports. Even some of
the cherries in the Ashland district
were hurt, although far along in their
development. However, the frost
did not do as much damage as it
would have had it come a couple of
weeks earlier.
