WHO RESIDE IN DAWSON'S
VAST DRY LAND EMPIRE
Circle Woman, Who Started to Garry
Mail With Cayuse, Now Drives a
Six Cylinder Auto, and Makes Dali
~ Trips in All Sorts of Weather
Between Circle and Watkins.

Mrs Fletcher, a Dawson county wo-
man, starting with a one-horse star
mail route a few years ago, is a fac
tor in transportations in a section of
the state that has no railroad facili-
ties. Her business has grown with the
country, and she now operates an
automobile line between Circle and
Watkins. She drives her OWn auto
stage, too, and is making money.
One hundred and twenty-five miles
is the greatest distance in the United
States covered by a mail stage every
day. The route is in the Redwater
country, west through Dawson coun-
ty from Glendive, a vast dry-farming
empire that sever years ago could
boast of but one postoffice, that at
Circle, to which mail was delivered
but once a week.
Now the route serve a territory of
1000 square miles with it's mail ev-
cry day. In this are Is postoffices,
letters and papers. Mail is distribut-
ed through a strip Is to 20 miles
wide on each side of the route fol-

Autos Annihilate Distance.
From Glendive the big autos that
carry mail, express and passengers
into the Redwater country head due
west through the center of Dawson
county for a distance Of los miles to
Paris postoffice, on Timber creek, a
distance of los miles, passing
through Lindsay, Union, Woodrow,
Circle, Brockway, Watkins and White
and serving seven other postoffices
out from these.
Not only is this the longest con-
tinuous line covered by any mail SER
vice in the United tSates, but it serves
the greatest number of people and
postoffices.
Beyond Paris, wagons take the
pouches from the autos and carry
them 20 miles to Crowley and Van
Norman postoffices.
The average distance of points in
this territory from a railroad is 40
miles. Along the whole distance,
dominated but seven years ago by
sheepherders in far-flung camps. can
be seen farms in all stages of devel-
opment, from the claim, "improved''
with a sod hut or tar paper shack, to
real farms with comfortable homes
and well-tilled fields.

Mrs. Jessie Raleigh, who for
merly lived in Helena and on a
Blackfoot ranch, is winning fame in
sculpture by a roundabout route.
She is a sister of George Barr Nc
Cutcheon, the novelist, and John Nc
CutcheOn, the cartOonist. She had
an idea. So she went to Miss JOS
ephine Kern, a young sculptress at
the Chicago Art Institute, and told
her all about it. The result was
"The Good Fairy" standing on the
top of the Mountain of Opportunity,
a little figure with outstretched arms
reckoning the weary world to happi-
ness.
Its appeal was instantaneous and
the people clamored for more and
more of the little figures. Modelled
in %alabaster, in bronze and other me-
tails, they have spread their message
of glad tidings from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Continuing their gleeful
journeyings, they crossed the seas
and brought cheer to rar-flung lands.
All this in a space of six months.
Good Fairy Clubs Now.
Already the Good Fairy movement
is worldwide, and the happy little
figure is growing in popularity every
day. Good Fairy CLUBS are being or
ganized throughout the country with
the single purpose of helping people
to help themselves. It seems likely
that Mrs. Raleigh will cease to be
known simply as the sister of two dis
tinguished men, who hereafter may
be known as the brothers of the Good

I'm the early history of the United
States, in the day of the pioneers. the
population was sparse and mothers
kept their homes, nursed their babies
and manufactured much of the pro-
ducts for household use," a v Miss
Margaret Hughes, registered nurse of
Helena.
One Cause of Infant Mortality.
"But as centers of industry sprang
up, immigration increased and hast
lily reared tenements arose to house
the swarming population, mothers
left the care of their homes and chill
dren to enter the factories; and thus
bad housing conditions, over-crowd-
ing and factory work for mothers be-
come factors in babies lives with re-
sulting high infant mortality.
Humanitarian interest then be-
came aroused for the welfare of ba-
bies. At first the work. was carried
on by private philanthropy, church,
charity and fraternal organizations
and guided by the medical profess
sion. Then municipalities began to
awaken to their responsibility in the
care of babes and the boards of
health entered the campaign. Lastly
the federal government assumed it's
duty to the children of the nation
and established a children's bureau,
the senate voting $4,000 a veal for
it's maintenance.
"A national association has been
formed to CO. operate with and CORE
late the efforts or the associations
throughout the country conducting
any form of baby or child welfare
work.
Wonderful results have followed
the efforts of these various agencies.
Their primary object has been educa-
tional and they have used every pos
sible means to create enlighted pub
lie sentiment and to get the labora-
tory knowledge of the proper care of
the baby translated in simple terms
to the mothers in the homes.
All Helps the Babies.
"They have used the press, lee
lures, moving pictures, lantern slides,
striking posters, BABY contests, exhib-
it's and the distribution of pamphlets
and literature. They have employed
milk stations, clinics, conferences,
hospitals and visiting nurses to fur

"They have helped secure better
legislation for working women,
more careful inspection of herds,
diaries and milk supply, better hous-
ing conditions, cleaner streets, back
yards and alleys. These are but a
few of the activities and results
growing out of organized effort
which are giving to babies intelligent
