CHAPTER XVII.

George choked. For an instant he
was on the point of breaking down, but
he commanded himself, bravely dis
missing the self-plty reused by her
compassion. "How can help but be?"
he said
~N0. no." She soothed him. "You
mustn't You mustn't be troubled, no
matter what happens"
That's easy enough to sayp he
protested; and he moved as if to rise.

to rise.

comfortable way to talk. Well" She
yielded; he rose, helped her to her
feet, and pressed the light into being.
AS the room took life from the sudden
lines of fire within the bulbs Isabel
made deprecatory gesture, and, with
a faint laugh of apologize protest,
turned quickly away from George.
What she meant was: "You mustn't
see my face until I've made it nicer
for you" Then she turned again to
hirn her eyes ddwncast but no sign
of tears in them, and she contrived to
show him that there was the sem
blance of smile upon her lips. She
still wore her hat, and in her unsteady
Gisgers she held white envelope,
somewhat crumpled.

though he stood stone cold, she lifted

"The Long TRAIL" a play which is
being presented in various cities
throughout the state by the Farm Blu

decided success.
Both Great Falls and Billings have
given the play an enthusiastic greet

to the life of 1868. The play unfolds
in a charming manner the progress of

A SUBSTITUTE FOR PLATINUM

A SUBSTITUTE FOR PLATINUM.
The finding of a substitute for plat
mum that can be used in the manufac-
ture of sulphuric acid, and conse-
quently of high explosives, was one
of the important discoveries Of the
war. This substitute, the exact ma
ture of which has not been made pub
lie, was hit upon by chemists in the
Mellen Institute of Pittsburgh, who
were working under the supervision
of the chief of the chemical division
of the War Industries Board.
Before the substitute was utilized
the shortage Of platinum made it nee
essary for the government to take
control of the metal, fix a price of
$105 an ounce, restrict it's distribution
and virtually prohibit it's use in the
manufacture of jewelry.
There have been two methods by
which %sulphuric acid has been produc-
ed; one required the use of platinum
as a catalytic agent; the other did not

that the aid produced in this way was
Of purer quality, but it is claimed
that with this new substitute the acic

that made by the use of platinum
The experiments, which started in {

plant capable of turning out five tons

1919 WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

Butte, Jan. live are busy orga-

said State Director Turner today. "a
large percentage of our county direc-
tors have resigned and are now giving
their time to their much neglected
business. These men have done a real
service to their country and that at a
real sacrifice of their own business.
The war savings campaign in Mon
tana is now a part of the campaign
of the Ninth Federal Reserve district
of which Mr.. A. r. Rogers of Mime
apolis is chairman. He is also in
charge of the Liberty Loan in this
district. All sales of war savings
stamps this year will apply on the
Liberty loan quota"
GAS yet we have no quota assigned
to the state. However, we are told it
will be very small in comparison to
that Of last year." ontinued Mr.. Tur-
ner. "There is no essential differene
in the war savings stamp issue Of
1919 and last years. The same old
thrift stamp and thrift cards are used.
The war savings stamp only is chang

stamps in a 1919 folder along with

The campaign Of 1918 was, as
whole, a gigantic success and had no

tremendous sums, the war saving
loan would have been the largest o

COLLEGE PROFESSORS
IN RABBIT BUSINESS

Seven men at the Montana state
college have taken up the business of
rabbit breeding in a serious manner.
With their work on building up regis
tered stock as a central fact, they hope
to perfect within a short time a rab-
bit breeders association in the state.
One advantage of this association,
according to D. B. Swingle of the
state ollege, would be the possibility
of placing a rabbit registrar in the
state of Montana. At present all rab-
bits have to be shipped from Montana
to Seattle for registration, an expen-
sive process.
Four of the college men have New
Zealand Red rabbits. Three others
have turned their attention to Belgian
Hares. All of the men are conducting
their rabbit hobby as a private enter
prise but hope to make it an import
ant organization in Montana, as in
other states.

WOOL INDUSTRY TO
BE SAFE-GUARDED

Western wool men were encouraged
by government solicitation and the in
ducement of war prices to increase
their flocks and they are now seeking
protection from a speculative move-
ment to drive down prices, in which
imports and government holdings are
being used to try and accomplish dis
astrous result in the wool industry,
that is vital to the whole nation.
With the beginning Of the year the
war industries board has gone out OF
existence and marks the end Of gov
eminent control but this does not
mean that the industry shall not get
favorable consideration.
A bill has been introduced in con
gress to give the president power t.
fix rates of duty arbitrarily to pre-
vent slumping markets against it's OWL
supply and incidentally protect west
ern growers.
The work of the Boston Wool Trad
ing Association is to be broadenee
during the coming season and thu
warehousing system is to be contin
ued for the protection of the grow
ers.
Under the system the grower con
signs his wool to where it is sorted
graded and baled, and then sold fo7
him or guaranteed samples in SOM
thirty varieties.
The grower gets all there is in hi
wool and has every incentive to grad
up his flocks and permanently improv'
his holdings, while the evils of specu
lation are eliminated.
