MONTANA HAS WEALTH
OF NEEDED MATERIALS
State University Geologist Tells
How to Identify These
Ores.

For the guidance OF p~rospectors
and others who are interested IN aid
inc lie government in locating "war
minerals" these elementary descrip-
lions of the principal commercial min
erals bearing manganese or molybde-
mum are given:
Manganese Minerals.

Psilmclane (Black Hematite) -
This mineral is somewhat like pyrol-
usite, but is much harder s:nd does
not soil the fingers. 1t will give the
same result with hyroch!oric acid as
pyrolusite.
There are other manganese min
erals such as Wad and Mangarite.
The dark or brownish color and the
action with hydrochloric acid will al
most enable the examiner to locate
them in their proper class.
Molybdenum Minerals.
There r but two molybdenum
minerals that have commercial value.
These are Molybdenite and Molybdite.
Molybdenite-A bluish-black min
eral that soils the fingers and looks
very much like graphite. 1t is often
found in granite, limestone and other
similar rocks. It comes in scales or
masses composed Of curved sheets.
It has a metallic luster. Streak,
greenish to greenish-black, especially
if made on the bottom of a china
saucer or plate. Quite soft and feels
somewhat greasy. Infusible. When
hydrochloric acid is dropped upon a
very thin edge of the mineral and the
mineral is placed in a colorless flame,
the flame is colored yellowish-green.
Also, when the mineral is heated in
hydrochloric acid, the odor of decaycd
eggs is given off. Molybdenite may
be distinguished from graphite,
which it much resembles, by its green
ish streak and by the odor given off
when heated with the acid.
Molybdite-Generally an earthly.
yellow powder. Found in the upper
part of veins that contain other
molybdenum minerals. 1t is soft but
fairly easily fusible. 1t gives the yell
lowish-green flame color and if this
test can be made is not difficult to
determine.
Market Value.
Manganese and molybdenum min
erals r very important at this time
as they are necessary in the manu-
facture Of steel. The manganese ore
are marketable when containing Is
per cent or more of manganese. The
distance of Montana from the mar
ket, however, makes it necessary that
there should be at least 40 per cent
Of manganese in the r Montana is
the first state in the union in the pro-
duction of high-grade manganese
ores. There is, however, great de-
mand for this mineral and new de-
posts that are rich enough and near
enough to railway transportation will,
without doubt find a ready market.

Children's Year.

CnltQIeUS 4
On the 9Th Of April, 1918, the an
%niversary Of the declaration Of wal

launched a drive to save the lives Of
one hundred thousand Of the ma
TONS children. Public health auth
critics agree that half the deaths Of
young children are easily prevent
able. America loses three hun.
dred thousand babies EACH year be-
fore they reach their first birthday
Of those, it is estimated one hundred
and fifty thousand die from prevent.
able causes. Each state will be as
signed a definite quota of the hun
dred thousand lives to be saved.
The campaign is to be under the
direction of the children's bureau and
the state council of defense, with the
cooperation of the general federation
of woman's clubs and all crganiza-
tions of women.
The official records of the coun-
tries longest at war, show that the
general social confusion of the frst
year Of the war resulted in a start
ling increase in the death rate of the
children.
The second of the war for America
is to be children's year. It is to be
a year of l~ife-saving in the midst of
the strain of war. It is to be inaug-
urated by a nationwide weighing and
measuring of babies and children of
pre-school age. Weight and height
constitute on the whole, a fair stand
ard of development and parents can
Judge for themselves where their
children stand. Should there be any
great divergence from the normal
standard, it is a warning that the
children's health needs to be carefully
looked after. The federal bureau will
provide a record card which will show
the general average of height and
weight for children of various ages.
The methods of work will be those
which have already proved efficient
in saving children's lives in the Uni
ted States and other warning coun-
tries. Briefly, the methods r as
follows:
First. The registration of births

allure, you must begin young. "For,'
says Thomas Whitney surette Ii
Music and Life (Houghton, Miffin
company, "the capacity for undsr.
standing and loving great books ant
paintings and music has to grow with
eur own growth, and can not be post
pohSd to another season." And he
recalls Darwin's pathetic statement
in which he describes his early love
for poetry and music, and the final
complete loss of those capabilities
through neglect.
The love of beauty must be cult
waited in childhood, if it is ever to
play a very real part in life; and
music is the only form of beauty by
means of which very young children
can be educated. A child of five
can be taught beautiful songs; and
singing-rather than piano playing
is the way a child should first learn
music.
1.-THE most common fallacy in our
teaching consists in putting theory
before practice. Children are taught
about music before they have had
sufficient experience of it. They are
taught, for example, to pin paste
board notes on a make-belief staff;
they are told that one note is the
father note and another the mother
note.
"But even these artificial and false
methods r less harmful to children
than r the poor, vapid, and false
songs by means of which their taste
is slowly and surely disintegrated. In
the music books provided for kinder
garten and home singing there is an
endless series Of poor, vapid, over
sweet melodies, which children, hun
cry for music, will sing readily for
lack Of better.
81 do not advocate the adjustment
of pianoforte teaching to children"
writes Mr.. Surette, "but I insist that
it should not be begun until the child
has sung beautiful songs for several
years. In tn. first place, it lacks the
intimacy of singing; and in the Sec
ond place, the playing itself demands
the greater part of a child's attention,
so that it hardly hears the music at
all. My own observation leads me
to believe that talent for p~ianoforte
playing is quite rare, and that the
average child is more likely to be
able to play the VIOLIN"

MONEY RAISED BY
"NONPART" LEAGUE
Smith Suggests That 1t Be
Turned Over to Red Gross
or Given Back " the
Farmers.

Kearney, Neb., July $50 the Edi-
tor Of The Bee: 1t is gratifying to
those Of US who have been opposed
10 the methods of organization OF the
Nonpartisan league, to know that they
have agreed to withdraw Evans, the
state manager. and Olsen, the as
sistant manager, and all nonresident
organizers from the state and turn the
organization over to the farmers OF
Nebraska.
The Nonpartisan league is to hold
its state convention in Lincoln on
Wednesday, July 10. There is one
point which l want to cali to the at
tention of this convention. AS chair
man of the executive committee, Mr..
Ream, in an address at large public
meeting held in Lincoln on May !
last, stated that the Nonpartisan
league is a distinct political party. II
the statements made by the league Of
fcers in the recent suit in Lincoln are
true, that they have 10000 members in
this state, then it is easy to figure out
that at $16 per member they have
raised a fund of $4,000 in Nebraska.
Can the farmers of Nebraska, whether
league members or others, afford to
pass this over lightly? Farmers, can
you afford to have it said in time to
come that the farmers of Nebraska
raised a larger political slush fund
than the breweries or hell holes of
corruption ever dreamed of in their
palmiest days of Doodle and corrup-
ton in politics?
Now farmer league members. il the
whole business has been turned over
to you and the fellows higher up who
have been charged with disloyalty
have washed their hands of the whole
business, then all of this money will
of course, be turned over to you.
say, and the farmers Of Nebraska
will say, that a strict accounting OF
this fund of nearly half million dol
lars must be made. If you do not de-
mand this accounting, get it and pub
lish it, you will be subject to censure,
The statement should be complete
and itenized showing the exact
amount every man has received and
the amount now on hand.
l am opposed and Nebraska farm
ers as a whole are opposed to using
such a gigantic fund in Nebraska poll
tics and would suggest that the larger
part of the unexpended balance,
which must be very large. be either
prorated back to the farmers who
have paid it or. better still, that it be
turned over to the Red Cross.
While the great objection against
the organizers of the Nonpartisan
league in Nebraska at this time has
been the attitude of its leaders on pa
triotic questions, yet the plan of rais-
ing so much money to be spent in a
political campaign has cast suspicion
and discredit upon the organization.

Finding Skeleton Near
Columbus Reviives Old
Story Of Disappearance

Columbus, Neb., July e.-(Special.) }
"A human skeleton in a sitting
posture, with head bent forward,
buried at a depth of three feet, was
discovered while digging a sewer
ditch IS miles northwest of this city.
The discovery gave rise to consid-
able speculation. DR.. A. A. Bald was
called to examine the skeleton. and
he concluded that it was the remains
of a white person, as the cheek bones
were lower and not so prominent as
those of an Indian.
One of the oldest settlers of that
community recalls that in the very
early days of the county's history,
two men lived near the place. one
of whom disappeared in a manner
that was never satisfactorily ex-
planned. Another theory is that the
body of white woman, who was
killed by the Indians long time ago
may have been buried there.

WAR WORK
Wins ADMIRATION
OF ALL AMERICA
Frank Judson Declares This a
Fact on Return From Red
Cross Mission in
Washington.

Nebraska has won the respect and
admiration of the entire United
States, declares Frank w. Judson,
who has just returned from Washing
ton, where he was called to consult
on Red Cross matters.
People in the east used to think
of Nebraskas as wild and wooRy, but
now they think of it as the first state
in the union in war relief work." said
Mr.. Judson, "and it is remarkable
what change one observes in the at
titude of the eastern people when Ne
braska is mentioned"
Everywhere Mr.. Judson went he
found the people talking of the wealth
and generosity of Nebraskans. "The
people of this state have given Ne
braska' the best advertising possible"
declared Mr.. Judson, "and the best of
it is they did so without the least
thought of advertising, but because
they were fred by spirit of pa
triotism."
Mr.. Judson, when he answered the
call to Washington, was offered one
of the highest positions in the asso-
citation, that of looking after the Red
Cross work at the cantonment camps.
This work is volunteer work, as is the
position Mr.. Judson now holds. 1t
would keep him constantly on the
road, visiting one cantonment camp
after another, and for personal rea-
sons, Mr.. Judson felt compelled to
decline the honor for the present.
H. D. Gibson, formerly general
manager of the Red Cross, is easng
for France and will have charge of
all work of the association there. His
place will be taken by George Scott,
general manager of the American
Steel company. 1t was with Mr.
Scott that Mr.. Judson consulted, as
he is now acting general manager Of
the Red Cross.
