Schools Close Month Later.


Nearly all of the schools in Mon
tana, both urban and rural, will con-
tinue nearly month longer in session
this summer than is usually the case,
because of the Interruptions in the
schedule from the influenza epidemic
last winter, according to Miss May
Trumper, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction.
Schools in this state were never in
terrupted as they were during the past
year." Miss Trumper said.
She added that some of the schools
lost between 90 and 20 scholars, which
cut materially into the usual schedule.
The usual year is from 40 to $50 days
and few schools will get more than 40
school days even though school is con-
tinued month longer.

Help Get Labor for Farms.

To secure farm help in Montana,
arrangements have been completed by
Ray f. Cannon, farm help specialist,
representing the federal department of
agriculture, who was in Helena recent

Warned Against Uniformed Swindlers.
State Auditor Porter, in whose

sources of widespread schemes by men
posing in uniform as veterans, but
who in reality are mere takers and
confidence men. The national vigil
lance committee of the Associated Ad-
vertising clubs of the world, after re-
hearsing the "games" played by these
pretenders, says:

cited to report the incident to the

and one that is worth the considera-

But just as the very young man has
small chance of happiness in mstri-

who waits until he is 80 to marry bad
best postpone the matter altogether
for after that age a man has acquired
habits that are dearer to him than
any woman can possibly be.
To sum it all up, a man should
marry in his prime, when he is old
enough to know the value of the gift
a woman gives him when she gives
herself and when he is strong enough
to protect, and while he Is young to
still thrill with romance. still keen
enough about the joys of living to
be a cheerful and happy companion
to his wife. and fluid enough to be
able to run himself into the domestic
mold without wrecking II.
And this age generally comes when
a man Is between Is and -
The Washington herald., 1919-09-26

youth wants to know at what
age a man should marry.
That depends on circumstances. The
clock does not strike the same golden
hour for every man. but generally
speaking, the right age for a man
to marry is when he is old enough
to know his own mind. when he has
met the right girl. and when he is
making enough money to support a
family is comfort. and the psycholog-
ical moment may occur almost any
where between the cradle and the
grave.
Personally. I believe that a humane
and paternal government should pass
a law making it impossible for a man
to marry before he is Is years old.
Before that time a man Is no more
fitted to undertake the responsibilities
of matrimony. and to take his own
and a woman's life into his hands
than a baby is to pilot the Leviathan
across the Atlantic.
Before he is . mans tastes are
unsettled and crude. his judgment Is
Uniformed, and he has not the slight
est idea of what he is going TO be
himself. or the sort OF a woman he
wants for a wife.
The mature man is bored stiff by
the very type of a woman who was
his ideal OF feminine charm in his
boyhood. No man ever meets his
first sweetheart after the lapse of
years without thanking God for his
mercy that he escaped marrying her.
while if he did marry her-well. some
times miracles happen and heaven
protects fools and the long-shot wins
out after all. And sometimes there is
divorce. And sometimes long years OF
dull endurance OF hopeless misery.
