better business than in the past, and
there Is more money in circulation IN
the Missoula country than there has
been since the time the Milwaukee put
through its heavy construction work IN
1909. The Great Western Sugar COM
pany OF Billings and Denver is build
ing large sugar plant at Missoula,
similar to the plant at Billings. and
this has given a big impetus to busi-
ness In Missoula itself Where a few
years ago there were vacant houses
in almost every block. there is now a
scarcity Of good houses, and building
operations promise to be better at Mis-
soula this year than for a long tima.
"Stevensville, which is chiefly noted
as having one of the few successful
cooperative farmers creameries in the
state, Is benefiting by the sugar plant
at Missoula, as most of the beets will
be raised on the irrigated tracts of the

C0C0anut Oil Makes
a Splendid Shampoo

IL you want TO keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash IL with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle
and is very harmful. Just plain null
sified cocoanut oil which is pure and
entirely greaseless- is much better
than the most expensive soap or
anything else you can use for sham
pooling. as this can't possibly injure
the hair
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub. 1t in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance Of
rich creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and 1t leaves 1t fine and
silky. bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t Is very
cheap. and a few ounces is enough to

Crow Is Omniverous,

In order to get a living in New
England during the winter the crow
has developed catholic appetite, and
persons who have made study of the
bird and its bill of fare say that the
crow is Omniverous in the broadest
sense of the word. In pinch he will
eat anything. The principal items on
his bill of fare are beetles, spiders,
weevils. grasshoppers. moths. butter
flies. caterpillars. bees ants. wasps,
flies. crabs, shrimps, snails, fish, toads,
frogs, young chickens. wild birds and
their eggs, carrion and all sorts Of
plants and grains. both wild and culti-
waited. Corn constitutes large pro-
portion of the grain eaten. and this
IL one of the principal grievances Of
the farmer against the crow. A bird
with such catholic taste in food is
obviously well prepared to meet hard
times ard the high cost of living. The
crow will kill and eat small snakes.
He will eat small mammals up to the
size of a cottontaiI bit.-Hartford
COurant.

When you natron.ze a merchant who
practices honesty in his advertising
and always sells the quality he offers
through his printed announcements,
You acquire confidence in him and his
goods.
You accept his word as truth. You
know that when he says he is going
to sell dollar values at half price YOU
can buy full dollars worth for fifty
cents.
And you feel that you can go to his
store at any time and be assured of
honest treatment, honest values and
honest prices.
Good advertising in its fullest sense
can give any merchant the reputation
of being ION the square" On the
other hand, advertising with only an
occasional little untruth can often
undermine the reputation Of dealer
to such an extent that you become sus-
picious and question every statement
he makes thereafter.
Advertising that tends to build con-
fidence is mighty and valuable in
strument in the hands of the progress
stve merchant. It is the means of
nourishing his business and making Il
grow to the limit Of its capacity.

JUST MAKE A FRESH START
One Has Made as Past Cannot

Now and then man pauses TO take
account of stock, and LOOKS back rue
fully over the course Of his life to note
the many places where he made the

by adverse circumstances. lie says to
himself, believing what he says, that II
II could retrace his steps and take a
. fresh start, knowing what he knows
now, he would not make such mess
/ Of things again. He can put his finger
down on the very spot ill the map of
his life where he went wrong. There
was blurred place on the trail, where
there was 30 trace of the footprint of
any who passed that way and no mark
of the woOdman'S ak upon a tree. 1t
was for him alone to choose the way
to take, and in his haste and fever to
arrive he chose wrong, and has wan

strangled his chance newborn. He ex-

was the tool of environment, that

The past is there. and it's legend is
deeply craven on his brow or scared
by the brand of the iron that has en-

The years and the closed doors and the
finished chapters tell him no.
But the forward look and the futur-
ity provide him with better way to
take. When Mrs. Peterkin. in the story,
had spoiled her cup of coffee by put

deem the error by the neutralizing ac-
ton OF all sorts of chemicals, the lady
from Philadelphia suggested that she
