that the shooting occurred when she

were summoned and every effort made
to save her life. Her recovery, however,

Little information could be secured this

Mr.. Burleson devotes considerable
space to development of the air mail
service, concluding with this statement:
The air mail service of the United

vice in foreign countries compares
with it in magnitude, in continuous de-

she was wounded in one eye and in the
temple. and that if she RECEIVERS she will
lose the sight of her right eye.
There are many rumors regarding the

LUMBER APPROPRIATIONS
Amount Less But Value More Than In

Lumber to the value of 1855, 1874 came
into Burlington this year by water in
81 boats. Of which AZ We're Americans
and 30 Britishers. The total number OF
feet brought in was l3,19i,00O This IL
less than one-hslf the importation of 1918.
when III boats came into port, and much
less than in 1917. when 1876 boats unloaded
at Burlington wharves, but is as large
as in many of the years past. The two
years previous to 1919 were abnormal
years. The increase in prices Of lumber
puts the value of the amount unloaded

DELAY IN UNLOADING CARS
RETARDS FOOD MARKETING

Using refrigerator ears as storage
houses at freight terminals is holding
back perishable foodstuffs from city
markets and causing losses to grower
and consumer, according to investiga-
tors of the bureau of markets, United
States department of agriculture.
A recent report on al held at ter
minals made by one of the refrigera-
tor car lines shows that 81 ears were
held an average of 4.37 days at Chi
cago, while figures on sc cars at Den
yer show an average delay in unload
ing of 6.36 days. Assuming that these
figures hold at other markets and that
the average time for a refrigerator
car to make a round trip is about 20
days, it is pointed out that such de-
lays would decrease the available sup
ply of refrefirator cars by about 25
per cent. This, in the face of a pres
ent inadequate supply of refrigera-
tor cars, is hampering the movement
of perishable products from an
acreage in excess Of that of past
years.

While the railroad administration
is using every effort to remedy the
situation and much can be done to in
crease the supply of refrigerator cars
through speedier unloading, it is point
ed out that the supply will still be
inadequate and that it is not being
increased by new cars at a rate to
give much relief. The acreage of per-
ishable crops is increasing each year,
making it more imperative that ade-
quate cold storage terminals be con-
structed for temporary storage so that
receivers can Immediately unload re-
refrigerator cars upon arrival at mar
kets and send them back to the ship

THE CHILD.

Children require a foundation of
good health, made by adequate nour-
ishment, but many of them in this
country are not laying this foundation.
The United States department of agri-
culture is assisting the various agen-
cies working to correct this condition.
Undernourishment is not confined to
the slums. Many a little Tony or Piet-
70, with his bowl of thick soup and
hunk of bread, topped off with an ap-
pie or an orange, is better fed than
numbers of children in wel-to-do fam
lilies. The latter are too often allow
ed to choose what they will or will not
eat, and to select food badly suited to
a child's stomach or that is lacking in
nourishment. When this happens they
are being starved just as much as if
their parents, because of poverty, were
obliged to give them too scanty a ra-
tion. Soggy breads, fried meats, fried
potatoes, and heavy pie are respon-
sible for many underfed children.
Milk is absolutely necessary to keep
the growing child in health. It con-
tains growth-producing substances not
found in any other food. The dairy
division of the department Of agricul-
ture is endeavoring to drive this les
son home to the people in every state.
by means of charts, lectures, and ex-
hibits. The home demonstration
agents, supervised by the department
of agriculture and state colleges, are
also teaching the value of milk in the
child's diet and how to select a prop
err meal for a growing boy or girl.
Children who have been given even
n pint of milk every school day for
two months have made remarkable
gains in every instance.

many head of livestock, struck the
state, according to the recollections
of Donald A. McRae, an old-timer of
Cut Bank. The snow started falling
early in the morning, he says. Soon
the weather turned very cold and in
a short time a blizzard from the north
was sweeping the plains. In the Shell
by locality the snow was two feet deep,
according to Mr.. McRae, and down
towards Choteau and Dupuyer it was
seven and eight feet in depth at places.
