Perseverance isS one of the most inn portant things in life--yet it is a quality which very few of us possess. If the failures in life could be traced back to the cause nine out of ten would be found due to lack of perseverance.
 Men, who meet with success in life are men who aim at a certain goal and per severe until they reach it, despite the trouble and hardships which may assail them.

There Is positively only one way to
stop Miss Rambeau from talking about
Alaska and the secret Is here for the
first time revealed to the public. Get
her to talk about the movies.
Within the past few weeks she has
ventured into the motion pictures for
the first time. She has not been there
long enough to talk about them as

the Russian actress at that time had
not sufficiently mastered the English
language for the purposes Of the
piece.

she pleases to term "the best director

SALE OF RED CROSS
SEALS HAS COMMENCED

The campaign is already on for the
sale of Christmas Red Cross seals
Last year little Rhode Island led in
the sale of the stamps with 2.29
per capita. Montana's per capita
contribution was only .55 last year
but this year there is concerted eff
fort on the part of public spirited
women throughout the state to make
it much greater.
Two seals to each Montana inhabi
tant would make a sale of million
and thus secure a working fund of
$4,000. Last year the committee
appointed by the Women's Fedora
ton of Clubs, reported that the
means available by the state of Mon
tana under present conditions were
totally inadequate to take care of tu-
berculosis patients, even those in adj
vanced stages where danger OF conta-
gion is most imminent. This por-
tends, said the committee, not only
a wrong to the patient himself but a
terrible menace to the family and to
the state.
The fund raised by the sale of Red
Cross seals is used to employ nurses,
to teach people how to keep from
spreading disease. They have sent
patients to sanatoriums where they
: have been restored to health and
, families and they have been the
means of carrying lectures and ex.
hiDits to people who would not know
that tuberculosis is both durable and
preventable.
