shipped, good sized herds remain
and range feed for these Is reported
to be in sight Reports indicate
that stockmen are not discouraged
but will reship back to Montana next
spring, when normal conditions are
hoped for, all the cattle and horses
sent out OF the state as a result OF
the partial drouth of last summer.

About the only way some women

tighten up on the strings Of their
corset.
And yet, with all this talk about
the high cost of high living, one real
good way to reduce the high cost
would be to reduce the high waste.

our money, but We also blow it

We kick about every price and pay

bage cans than goes, into our stom-

than we do on the church, and are
always trying to put up a front.

or not.
We love to put on the dog, forget
ting that dog of that kind is a dog
gone expensive animal We try to
live as well as the neighbors do, and
the neighbors try to live as well as
they think we do.
We haven't as much money as
people think we have, and often we
don't have as much money as We
spend. A man said to me one time,
when a plumber refused him credit:
II don't know what is the matter
with the people around here: make
s175 month, and / spend $3.50 of
it right here in this town"
We ought to reduce some of the
waste, and have thought of few
ways We could. Take clothes, for
example Instead of having one good
suit for Sunday and funerals and ar
ordinary suit for weekdays, we most
OF US don't have even the one goot
suit.
Instead we have about so suits

cause people think he is anyway.
Most of the men in the world VIII
are good are good principally be
cause they are under suspicion. Maj
riage doesn't make a man good, bu
1t often keeps him good.
If we would run to the tailor wit
a suit when it begins to go a
promptly as we do to the garag
with a car when it doesn't,
wouldn't cost us so much for ou
clothes. And shoes-we cast ther
