pie. I know an American traveller
who will testify to this.

his way one day into teahouse In
a remote Japanese village. A geisha
girl ushered him into a spotless, airy
room and brought him a cup of un-
sweetened tea. AS he could speak no
Japanese. he tried to explain by signs
that he wanted full meal, but the
girl, though she smiled politely, fail
ed to understand.

resort to another means. He took out
his notebook and pencil. drew fish
and an egg. and handed the drawing
to the geisha. This time she laughed
delightedly, clapped her hands and
ran from the room.

about as to pay no attention to the

Nellie Grant, who was only a little

singer of them all, my dear, and I've
heard every last one from Patti down

and as deep as the ocean, almost-but
she made no impression on Grant. He
just kept on talking to his statesman
until Nellie nudged hint was in the

that Parepa Rosa was singing. But

ALLOWED ONE YEAR
LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Homesteaders who find it necessary
to leave their farms to earn living
because of the present drouth will be
permitted by filing an affidavit at the
Miles City or Glasgow Land Office.
This relief is provided under the
bill introduced by Senator Henry L..
Myers and passed and approved by
the president Thursday of last week.
Agricultural act approved Oath,
provides that any homestead settler
or entryman who, during the calendar
year 1919 finds it necessary to leave
his homestead to seek employment
in order to obtain food and other
necessities of life for himself and
family and work stock because of
great and serious drouth conditions,
causing total or partial failure of
crops, may upon filling with the re-
gister and receiver, proof of such con-
ditions in the form of corroborate
affidavit be excused from residence
upon his homestead during all or part
of such homestead which may fall
principal in the year 1919 in the max
ing of final proof upon such an entry
absence granted under this act shall
be counted and constructed as con-
structive residence by said home
steader.
Applications hereunder may be re-
ceived and action suspended pending
issuance of instructions"

This would be nothing more than

have the settlers of a new district
had a worse run of luck. Homestead
even when there are no payments to
make. In the case of most of these
people paying for the land is going
to be an impossibility even with fair
crops from now on because such a
handicap has piled up against them
the past three years. or course the
Indians must be paid for their land
but the Government should do the
paying.
In some cases the homesteader will
need further relief and it is probable
that the state will see its duty in this
regard. Montana cannot afford to
allow its peaple to move OF the land.
In memorializing Congress some
way should be found to make unit

of the reservation and of the towns
joins. When the case is presented

cannot refuse what is only right and

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
BURNING OF GREAT
NORTHERN BRIDGES

Within the past two weeks five
bridges have been burned out along
the main line of the Great Northern
railroad in Montana and authorities
have a theory that they have been
set on fire. This theory is supported
by the fact that in most every in
stance the bridges have been set afire
from underneath. The ties on top,
where they are not steel ties, are
covered with tin and to set them a.
fire it has been necessary to go un-
derneath. Sheriff Pat Macy was in
town yesterday and while he express
ed theory he did not care to give it
out for publication. Because of the
hundreds of lives that are endanger-
ed when bridge is burned the people
are becoming highly incensed and
should the guilty parties be discover
ed it might go hard with them
