ing Chamber of Com
merce Acts.

According to plans completed yes
tcrday. corn clubs, which have proved
to be an immense success among the
country boys in other parts of the
country, will be established in Mis-
soula county, and the three boys who
raise the best crop of corn during 1917
will be rewarded with a free trip to
the Montana state fair this fall, the
expenses to be paid by the Missoula
Chamber of Commerce, which is taking
this action to encourage better farm
ing in all it's phases.
The Montana State college of agri-
culture has, through it's representa-
tives, been organizing corn clubs all
over the state. To cooperate in this
work the executive committee of the
chamber of commerce decided to offer
prizes for corn raising.
The chamber of commerce will not
be in charge of the contest. 1t will be
handled by the clubs and representa-
tives of the state agricultural college.
Professor Abbey will come from Boze-
man soon and will organize the club.
and teach the boys the rudimcnts of
better farming.

NEW ALLOY SOLVES
WARTIME PROBLEM

Berlin, Feb. 6.--Gcrman inventive
genius. under pressure OF Mother Ne
cessity, has been applied successfully
to the discovery OF n solder with prac
tically no tin, a metal not found In
Germany.
Report was first had 10 cadmium, IA
metal of the zinc group found in large
quantities in Germany. and an excel
lent solder was produced from so per

only 10 per cent Of the precious tin.

duccs poisonous salts. Chemists then
remembered bismuth, another metal
found in large quantities within the
empire and from cadmium, bsmuth
and some other German metals a solder
was produced which Is non-poisonous
and almost free from tin. Since a
fourth of the 1000 tons of tin which
Germany imports and consumes an
nually in peace time Is used in making
solder the invention will go far toward
solving Germany's wartime tin prob
lem, which recently led the government
to decree Il general confiscation of the
tin tops of beer mugs and stems.

SMITH HAS SMILED.-Say, that
amt right. I have smiled the sweet
est smiles, but nobody has ever
tipped me 800 cents or mills. They
almost always take advantage and
sift my pan. Oh, well, don't know
the difference.
Courtesy, a smile and pleasing
manner are great traits to dole out
and they do much good. Many pre-
dicaments would cause those who
smile to Croak if they had the same
trouble. I find old Cranks who pan
out better in the cash line than some

TO A YOUNG MOTHER.

TO A YOUNG MOTHER. - Yes,
there are men who would not CEN
sOr nor condemn a girl for a foolish
and sad mistake made in life, for we
all make mistakes in life and, as a
rule, those who are so eager to con-
denim are the very ones who cause
the downfall of the weak; and any
person, man or woman, who acts as
a judge and condemns a girl who has
made a mistake and who is trying to
redeem herself is not deserving of
the name of man or woman. Mel
Their are they Christians, for does not
the bible say, LET he that is without
sin cast the first stone?
I, for one, hold every respect for
any woman who gives BIRTH to
child, whether it be in wedlOck or
otherwise. She is a MOTHER! And
that is sacred. And the highest trib-
ute should be paid to motherhood.
If Young Mother needs a friend she
can find that friend in me, a human
being.-G. Morris.

blackening nice sheet of white paper.
He asked to whom she was writing.

Naturally the reply delighted the au-
thor of 'The Blue Bird" When the
little girl had finished her letter she
put the sheet of paper in an envelope,
wrote on it '"The Prince Charming

the story interrupted him at this point.

Why japan Cannot Be Starved,

Two of the most interesting sights in
Tokyo are the fish market at Nihom-
bashi and the Mitsukoshi department
store, very near the Billingsgate of
Tokyo. Nihombashi is not only the
geographical center of Tokyo, but Of
Japan, according to the japanese, who
ought to know. Here is situated what
is probably the largest fish market in
the world. There is every kind of fish
a man could mention and a few thou
sand other varieties. Some big fellows
cut up into great steaks, weighing ten
pounds or so, and there are little ones
which would make good minnow bait,
if one could find hook small enough
not to mangle them. l think that in
certain sections they must use cham
ois skin for a fish net and save every
thing that does not pass through the
pores. Until the sea dries mp around
Japan the islands will never starve.-

Poisons In the Stomach,

A most curious fact il that au food
contains the elements of poison, and
in our body poisOns are manufactured
from these. For instance, meat, fish,
cheese and milk are composed Of hy-
drogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen.
Take away the last and you have prus-
sic acid. We do not manufacture
prussic acid, it is true. But in every
stomach in the world fermentation
goes on just as in brewery. and the
poisonous carbonic acid is made in
large quantities. If you breathed a
few days output of carbonic acid gas
you would inevitably die. Sulphuret-
ed hydrogen is one of the most deadly
gases known, yet in every stomach it
is made at one time or another. In the
stomach all food is converted into
what we call ''peptone," and if very
small quantity of this found it's way
into the blood it would kill as surely
as prussic acid.-Pearson's Weekly.

The Satisfaction of SAVING.

Among all material pleasures there Ia
none so great as that which springs
from store laid by for future wants.
especially for the needs of those for
whose well being you have become re-
spOnsible. And when you have gath
cred that store by steadfastly refusing
thriftless self indulgence you have a
satisfaction that outweighs and out
lasts all feeting joys. speak from
my own experience. and can call to
witness the thousands of others who
have travelled the same road.
Strictly speaking. all mere luxury is
waste. But there may be and often is
wanton wastefulness in luxury when
a reasonable indulgence in it might be
justifiable. That is certain to react
most harmfully on soul, mind and body,
1t is not the accumulation. but the
waste and misuse of wealth, that
makes men decay.-Judson Harmon in
Youths Companion.

To Waterproof Tents.

Here is the way to waterproof cloth !:
Dissolve ten pounds Of rosin in four
gallons of hot linseed oil. Pour into
tub to which a wringer is attached.
Pass the cloth through the hot oil and,
as soon as well soaked, through the
wringer. Spread on fence or ground
Immediately until thoroughly dry. Dry
ing may take week or more. This
solution will treat about fifty yards of
cloth.
For waterprOofng tent Nessmuk in
his "Woodcraft" gives this recipe,
which he says is excellent: To ten
quarts of water add ten ounces Of lime
and four ounces of alum. Let it stand
until clear. Fold the cloth or tent snug
ly and put it into another vessel, pour
the solution in and let it soak for
twelve hours, then rinse in lukewarm
rain water. Stretch and dry in the sun.

Sleep and Dreams.

The brain is more active while en-
gagged in dreaming than when not thus
:ngaged. The only perfect sleep is
that which is dreamless. The moment
the sleeper begins to dream he begins
to work. and the more vivid and pro-
tracted the dream the more intense,
naturally, becomes the work. It is
possible that at no time during the
waking hours Of life is the brain SO
active as it is in the strange business
Of dreaming.
