Eating IS the worlds greatest in
ioor sport.
1t varies from a duty to a passion
and an uncomfortable habit. Some
people eat merely in order to live,
while others postpone their deaths in
order that they may struggle up to
the table for one more square meal
with trimmings.
Eating is a necessity. No matter
how proud or naughty a person may
be he cannot rise above It, In some
nations almost half of, the rulers
spare time is spent in eating rare
and complicated meals. However,
in these nations the peasant is usual
ly less extravagant. He gets along
with a few bites a day. One Of the
reasons why the Russian soldier is
hurting himself with such reckless
courage against the enemy is doubt
less the knowledge that il he sur
wives TIE war ne will have to go
back home and live on black bread
with cheese for dessert on holidays.
Some people make eating an. art
and exist daintily on aesthetic look
ing dishes which q farmer could not
eat fast enough to keep himself from
dying of starvation. Others make
eating dissipation. The Romans
were mighty people but in time
they got to lying around the dinner

Bio Canadian Telescope.

The tube of the telescope erected by
the Canadian dominion at Victoria,
B. c., is large enough to permit of the
passage Of a small automobile and the
reflector is 70 inches in diameter. The
movable parts of the telescope weigh
more than 40 tons, and the lens alone
more than 1000 pounds, yet one man
can easily move the mass into any de-
sired position.

No Person Has Seen ths Sun.

Astronomers aver that no one has
ever seen the sun. A series Of cOncen-
trio shells envelops a nucleus of which
we apparently know nothing except
that it must be almost infinitely hotter
than the fercest furnace, and that it
must amount to more than nine-tenths
of the solar mass. That nucleus is the
real sun, forever hidden from US. The

about 5000 miles thick, and is called
the "chromoSphere."

MONTANA RANCH SELLS
FOR LARGE SUM

Lewistown, April ia real estate
deal involving $125,000 was recently
closed in this city when Fred R. War;
rem and C. R. Parks took over the
Charles w. McVey ranch of 1900 acres
on upper Cottonwood creek near the
Big Snowy foothills, along with 1900
sheep, many horses and cattle, much
farming equipment, hay and grain.
AS a part of the consideration Mr..
McVey takes over 1000 acres of land
in Rosebud county and the Lewistown
property known as the Culver opera
house, located on Main street, with
a frontage Of Al feet.
The McVey ranch, with its valleys,
hillsides and benches all producing
grasses and grains in abundance, with
it's numerous springs and groves, is
regarded as one of the choicest stock
and grain ranches in the state.
Through this farm for upward of
two miles runs a valley of the richest
loan, producing abundant yields Of
alfalfa and small grains always, re-

PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE
SEEKS RETURNED NURSES

Eva Anderson, Director of Nursing.)
Just as the soldier is returning with
a broader vision and new ideas of SER
vice, so also is the nurse.
Although so little has been said of
her and her future plans, conclusions
are based on the views of small
groups and individuals as they return
from service, that the nurse is look
ing for a broader service to humanity
as her part in the worlds endeavor
after the war.
The field of public health is look
ing to the returning nurse in it's new
program; so much, indeed, that the
100000 scholarship fund for courses
in public health nursing has been Gre
ated with the thought of the overseas
nurse uppermost in mind.
The nurse who has seer foreign
service, who has served in our can
Torment zones or passed through the
influenza epidemic, realizes as never
before the possibilities and opportun-
tiles of the public health nursing SER
vice. She has seer how far reaching
her work can be when extended to a
group or community rather than to
the private patient.
"The day of the private nurse is
passed and the opportunities of the
public health nurse just beginning"
said one returned nurse.
The returning nurses are not asking
"Can we do public health nursing?"
but are saying, "We want to do pub
lie health nursing. Tell us how to pre-
pare for it," This change must mean
sacrifice financially in the beginning
to many women who had a well-es-
tablished private practice and who
more recently had given physically,
mentally and financially to the need
of the country.

hemp raising. The trial was made at
the college at Bozeman and it has
proved successful.
Some additional experimental work
is to be done before a systematic eff
fort is set on foot to make the hemp
industry an important part of Mon
tana's industries. To make it profit
able at least three hundred acres are
required in the hemp field and an ex-
penditure of $4,000 for a breaking
mill is needed. That the hemp can be
grown has already been proved. Dur
ing the past year the experiments in
Wisconsin have given place to an ex-
tensive cultivation of hemp so that
now Wisconsin stands second only to
Kentucky in the output of hemp and
California is third. All the army shoes
used by the United States were sewed
with hemp and the demand for hemp
is increasing steadily.

WOOL.
Considerable strength was inject
ed into the wool market by the gov

sales, and the South American and
African primary markets, all re-
vealing evidence of strength. Fine
wools have sold at record prices,
and even inferior grades have en-
joyed fairly good demand at rising
prices. Manufacturers have been
rather unusual buyers of three
eights staple woods. The English
woolen goods trade has booked or
ders far ahead, and domestic mills
are forced to refuse business. Low
and medium grade woods continue
plentiful, but high grades, for which
demand is keenest, are scarce and
create a problem in the trade.
