For Children

Peter was trying very hard to
save money but it was hard work.
Aunt Grace gave each of the Palmer
kids q bright new quarter for carry
ing all the little pieces of lumber left
from building the house into the
basement for kindling.
The twins gave theirs to Mamma
70 take care of for them, but Peter
carried his in his pocket because he
liked to hear it Jingle against his
knife.
One day the boys he was walking
home with decided to stop at the
little store and get some pop Peter
marched in with the rest of them but
when the s~torekeeper asked him
Lemon or strawberry? ?" he surprised
them all and himself more thai
anybody by running out of the store.
He went straight home and handed
his quarter to Mamma. Papa was sit
ting on the front porch and saw n
heard the whole performance. When
he came home from town the next
night he slipped in the back way, and
when Peter came into upper beside.
his plate was a big yellow owl sitting
on a hollow log. Across the log in
big letters was B wise, save
money" The OWLS eyes shone like
little lights.
Give him that quarter" directed
Papa, land see what he does"
So Peter dropped the shining quar-
ter in the slit in the top of the owls
head.
"Whoo! Whoo!" said the old owl
and winked one shining eye at Peter!

should be raised from the many and
not the few. Every earnest, loyal,
home-loving and God-loving person in
this state should contribute to this
noble enterprise even though such con-
tribution be in small amount. Those
who can subscribe literally should
welcome the opportunity to do SO.
In closing this appeal, let me offici-
ally state that approximately 80 per
cent of every dollar raised in Montana
by the purchase of seals will be ex-
pended within the boundaries of the
state; further, that a large proportion
of the remaining 10 per cent reverts
to the treasury of the Red Cross, in
turn finding it's way toward benevo-
lent and beneficial uses.

who contend that the slice of sod is

opinion that drilling shortly after the

seed to terminate and push it's roots
into the soil beneath the sod before
the slice dries out. This method is
permissible under certain circum-

ONE EDITORS VIEW OF
THE COAL STRIKE

Inasmuch as coal miners ire labor
ers many Of us r prone to believe
they are being imposed upon and have
merits in their demands until we I'M
derstand what the situation really is.
The pay for miners has been SIS per
day for the lowest class Of labor and
skilled labor SIS per day. This is for
an 8 hour day and six days a week.
They demand SO per day for unskilled
laborers and 1924 per day for skilled
laborers and in each case only 6 hours
per day.
Now, does it seen that this class
of laborers are fair to the other class
of laborers? Farmers are generally
skilled in their line. They have to be
or they won't stay at it long. Now
a farmer works over 10 hours per day.
but we will call it 10 hours for the
purpose of figuring a little. While a
farmer has a certain amount Of work
that must be done on Sundays we will
omit that and call 60 hours his week
For 60 hours a skilled miner woulc
receive $240 or over a thousand dollars
per month with his pay twice a month
Any of you farmers that r making
over $1,000 per month have no righ'
to kick, but the rest Of us have.
Farmers are heavy consumers o
coal and if the demands of the miners
are granted the burden is passed t.
the consumer. To strike, with the be
ginning of winter, refusing to work
or allow anyone else to work, is
crime not only against every othe
class of labor but against every cit
zen of the United States, their ow
families included.
This strike will be broken. 1t car

the bottom of the ground, without
humps or parts of the sod exposed.
1t is nearly impossible to make a
thick slice lie flat. In order to get
such a slice it is necessary that it be
almost continuous-not broken. Cor
rect types of plows, plows properly ad-
justed, equipped with sharp shares
lend nightly in doing good breaking.

breaks the slice or stretches the slice
% that it will not lie down. 1t is
easier to do good breaking when the
sod slice is quite moist which normally
Is in the spring Of the year. Immedi'
ately following the breaking pillow
should come the packer or roller. The
idea Is to- compress the furrow slice
firmly SO as to give a uniform surface
and to prevent evaporation as well al

Just what operation should come

noted that the reverend gentleman

1t is reported that the good pastor

usually not great. Care should be
taken when it is used to see that it
does not drag up strips of sod.
The type of drill to be used, upon
sod is quite important. Disk drills
and especially the double disk drill is
particularly adapted to seeding flax on
breaking. Each disk should have suf-
ficient pressure to insure the e be-
ing placed about an inch in depth.
With uneven ground it is difficult to
get The seed at the proper depth. 1t
is good practice to run a packer or
roller after drilling. This will pack
the soil about the seed and fit the
slices more snugly to the bottom OF
the furrow. 1t is not uncommon te
see flax terminate and send up
plant five or six inches and ther
wither and die. This happens wher
the slice is not properly packed. Evi
IDENTIFY there was enough moisture ii
the slice to terminate the seed but j
was impossible for the plant to SEM
roots through an air space in order t
get into the moist earth beneath tn
slice, hence it soon dies. Some Of GU
best and cleanest flax crops are raise
upon sod breaking when properl
handled.

MEMORY

l remember, l remember
The days that used to be
When porterhouse was eighteen cents
And soup bones given free;
When milk was five cents by the quart
And butter twenty-four,
And bacon fifteen cents a pound
In those brave days Of yore.
l remember, I remember
When one could hire a maid
For three or four or five a week,
And when she came, she stayed;
But now they are a naughty clan
Who cost you eight or nine,
Who come to you at ten o'clock
And then at noon-resign.
| remember, / remember
When gentle working men
| Would come whene'er you asked them
to,
For life was simpler then;
But now, although your pipes are
burst,
And troubles leave you vexed,
You cannot get a bit of help
Until week after next.
l remember, I remember
(Oh, why must visions fade)
When there was sugar sold to all
And coal men sought your trade;
But now the times are altered,
And there is little joy
In thinking of how cheap things wer'
When I was but a boy!
