HAPPIEST MAN MOST HONEST
He Has No Bad Habits and So He Is
Always Prosperous-He Works
for Good Living.

We have noticed the happiest man
many a time. He works for his liv-
ing and he gets a good one. One
thing we notice iS ne is a man of
fine habits; doesn't squander a cent
on liquor, tobacco or betting. He
saves his money and is getting ready
to buy some property. He loves his
home, plays with the children, reads
good books and keeps company with
his wife. Because of his good habits
he saves a little, which will give him
s chance to make an investment.
And then there is another thing
he is reliable man. He does good
work. He will not smooth over bad
work. He is honest in whatever he
does. Every dollar he gets represents
just that much of honest labor. 1t is
this, largely, that makes him pros
porous and happy.
Water keeps its own level, and so
does conduct and character and pros
perity. If a man is mean and low,
so will the consequences be. He can
not be one thing and his experience
another. A low-lived man may grow
rich and happy, but it will not be
for long. Anybody can tell what's
the matter with man if he is with
him day; he will soon see if the
other is a spleen, a stomach, an up
lift or a hope.-Ohio State Journal.

J Cultivate your smiles increasingly,
girls. this does not mean that you
must sit in street cars wearing an
insipid grin. Not at all 1t does
not even mean that you must actu-
ally smile in the literal sense Of the
word. But your expression can be
smiling without your lips being part
ed at all. If you are thinking about
pleasant occurrences your mouth will
turn up at the corners and your eyes
will sparkle, quite naturally and
without any effort.
This will keep your face attractive
and youthful, even when you have
passed the borders of youth itself. If
you wish to retain your beauty as
long as possible, don't form the habit
of letting your lips droop and all
your face muscles sag downward
when your face is in repose.
Just stand before the mirror and
pull your lines down to get the eff
feet. Draw your mouth down and
3cowl bit and you will see just how
ugly those dropping lines can make
you look. Then smile, not artifcially
but naturally, just little around the
lips, but great deal in the eyes, and
you will see how pretty you can ap-
pear.
If every woman realized how much
harm she is doing to herself when she
sits with her face muscles all relaxed
and dropping she would try the smile
cure for ugly lines. The smile can
bring about magical results in lift
ing G girl from the ranks of plain
ness to the heights of actual beauty.

WHEAT PRICES
SOAR HIGHER

Wheat prices have advanced this
week until at the present time the Ro-
nan buyers are paying as high as S1.22
for No. l, with other grades in proper
ton. There has been the widest of
excitement on all boards of trade
during the week, with slight huctua-
tions but steady advance in price one
day with another.
The principal reason for this rapid
and unexpected advance in price has
been the reports of damage to wheat
in many of the wheat producing states,
with rumors of short yield in Canada,
owing to the lateness of the season.
The government report dated August
g. says there is a shortage this year of
200, 600, 600 bushels under the final fore
cast for last year of winter wheat, and
157, 7,000,00 of shortage in spring
wheat, a total shortage of 357, 200, 900
bushels.
All other grains show about the same
percentage of shortage and al! grain
will be higher as consequence. Many
predictions are that wheat will go
higher this year than in any previous
year in 40 years.
The government crop report above
alluded to gives the average prices for
Montana and the United States on Au-
gust /, this year and last, the first
figures being for this year and the sec
ond for last year, as follows:
Montana Wheat, 100 and 101 cents
per bushel. Corn, l05 and SO. Oats,
40 and 49, Potatoes, IS and 84. Hay,
$3.50 and $7.5 per ton. Eggs, 25 and
% cents per dozen.
United States Wheat 1O7 and 1O6. 5
cents per bushel. Corn, 1914 and 1873
cents. Oats, 4O.1 and 45.4 cents. Po-
tatoes, 95.4 and 56.3 cents. Hay,
$40. 70 and SILL OF per ton. Cotton, l2.6
and 81 cents per pound. Eggs, 20.7
and II cents per dozen.

COME TO TERMS
ON ARMY BILL
Conference Committees Report
an Agreement.

Washington, Aug. S-National de-
fense legislation in congress is ap-
preaching completion.
The conference committee on the
army appropriation bill submitted a
complete agreement
The con terees on the naval bill
voted to disagree on the big construc-
ton program and personnel increases,

mel sectors Of the naval bill.
Pepreser .ative Padgett, chairman of
the house committee, said he would
submit the conference report Thurs
day and cell it up the followisg Tues

President Wilson, navy department
officials and others are expected to
make determined effort to induce
house leaders to yield to the senate
program for construction of siXty-siX
vessels, eight of them to be capital
ships, during 1917.
The house provided only for five
capital ships.
Agreement was reached by the con-
ferees on administrative features Of
the personnel section, but they could
not get together on the question Of
Increases in the enlisted strength.
The administration is anxious that
the larger senate authorizations in
this section also be accepted.
The senate provided for total en-
listed strength of "A 900 and the house
for only $1,000,

GRAIN BUYERS ARE CON.
TRACT|NC MUCH WHEAT

The Reservation Farmers Grain Co.,
BeckWith Mercantile Co. and Stanley
Scearce, grain buyers, have been very
busy during the past ten days con-
tracing with our farmers for their
1916 grain crop. SO energetically have
they all been on the job that it is
stated much of the wheat to be threshed
here this season has already been sold,
at. a price ranging from $l.00 to ST.
per bushel.
Stanley Scearce started out one even
ing last week and. before he returned
home that night had bought over 40
0CO bushels, but much of this wheat
was last years grain still held by the
farmers. Since that day he has con-
tinued to buy until at present he has in
excess of 100000 bushels contracted
for. One man sold him $4,000 bushels.
The Farmers Grain Co. has pur-
chased good many thousand bushels
and are in the market for all the grain
they can get.
The Beckwith Co. also has contracted
much wheat and oats and are securing
the country for more. Farmers seem
to be pretty we'll satisfied with the
price, thinking over dollar to be bet
ter than taking chances on a lower
market. Rumors that wheat would
reach ST.. SO before Jan. l, has not pre-
vented a great many selling, although
a few still hold for the big price-or
less. if the market slumps.

BLO0MER GIRLS 4
ROMAN ALL-STARS5 5

The game Of base ball last Sunday
nom the small score would seem to be
the best game played here this season,
but such is not the case There was
some good playing done but too much
grand stand stuff was pulled and too
many bonehead plays indulged in to
make TIE contest interesting.
Among the Bloomer Girls lineup
were men players whom it would be
pleasure to sign up to play with Roman
another season they were ball players
but the girls We're either afraid of the
ball or were too tired to try to play the
game. 1t was really four good ball
players against nine some ball play
ers, some not.
Wood pitched for Roman and when
the men We're up to bat he smoked
them through and when girl was up
he simply tossed the ball over, and at
that one home run was made by the
pitcher for the Boomers, it being one
of the longest hits ever seen on the
Roman diamond For several innings
it looked like Roman was in for trim
ming but series of hits and errors
placed them in the lead two runs and
this result was never changed. The
final score was to 5.

ROMAN HIGH SCHOOL
TO Be RE-ORGAN|zED

The high school at Roman is to be
reorganized this year on the six year
plan, which has been approved by the
state authorities. This means that the
seventh and eighth grades are dropped
from the elementary school and pupils
will step directly from the sixth grade
into the high school. CorrespondingIy
the high school period is heightened to
six years. This is the six and six plan
so highly recommended by DR.. Clax-
ton, u. S. Commissioner of Education.
This new method of organization was
kept in mind in planning the new
school house, which has been arranged
especially for six year high school.
The large assembly room and study
hall 4Sx24 feet will have desks and
seats for all the pupils, but there will
be no recitations held in this room.
Three smaller rooms equipped with
seats alone will be used for the reci-
tations. Besides, there is a large room
to be used as a science, labratory, a
library room and an office for the prin-
cipal. The two school rooms to be
used for the fourth, fifth and six grades
are located in the west wing with
separate entrance and cloak rooms, so
as to be in no way disturbing to the
high school.
The advantages of the new plan are
manifest. 1t makes possible the de-
partment method among the teachers,
and so larger faculty for the high
school, This year there will be four
high school teachers, instead of three
as last year, and corresponding greater
specification by each teacher. For the
pupils the advantages are even greater,
Many of the pnpls in the seventh and
eighth grades are really of high school
age. They need the kind of treat ment
and discipline that high school pupil
gets, and not the routine discipline of
the ordinary grade room. They need
the opportunity of taking vocational
work such as domestic science and
manual training, which will now be
open to them two years earlier They
are not so likely to be held back and
perhaps dropp out of school because of
failure in one or two studies. There
will be no disturbing recitations going
on during their study periods.
The change means a bigger and bet
ter high school for Roman. We expect
an enrolment of fifty; we ought to
have seventy-ive. The material is here
for a large high school and for first
class athletic teams.

MORGAN DOUBLES -.
HIS INHERIT ANCE

New York, Aug. S-According to the
completed appraisal just made the es-
tate OF the late j. p. Morgan was
worth $73,14900O, of which $53,6S4,-
9lS went to the present J. p. Morgan.
From what was learned the present
Morgan firm has made as much money
during the past two years as the old
head of the house made during his
whole career as the recognized finan-
cial and industrial leader of the Unit
ed States.
In the first place, under its contract
with the British government the Nor
gan firm has received commission
of 26 per cent on all munitions and
supplies purchased. Those purchases
during 1915 and 1916 will foot up not
less than $4,000, 100000
Then the Morgan firm has received
a banking commission on all loans
placed. The loans now aggregate ST.
100000, 900.
