LITTLE THINGS

Take on the Lid and punch a few
/ holes in the bottom of a small bak-
ing powder can, to let the air out,
and use the can inverted to chop
shortening into -four for biscuits,
Pie crust, etc. 1t saves tire and
makes the dough light and faky.
Use it to cut out biscuits. Use a
large sized one to chop cold potatoes
and other vegetables. 1t can be
used in a granite basin or a crock
cry bowl without injuring the vessel,
and saves using the large chopping
knife and bowl.

A MOMENT WITH THE
CONDUCTOR
AUNT PATS PoINTs-TABLE MAN.
NERs
.JULIETTE LEE


1t is really grevious to Aunt Pat to
have noticed in her visits around
that 30 much is lacking in our young
folks. One thing | notice especially
Is the table manners of our young
folks. 1t is really shocking to no
tice how uncouth some of our young
blame for this? The question can be
easily answered Tue parents are to
blame of course, the mother most
of all 1t seems hard that the mother
has so much put on her shoulders
but since she has the constant care
OF the young. naturally she has the
greater part of their training. We
expect nothing else but uncoutE table
manners out at socials parties, teas
and other forms of social entertain
ment, when the manners at the home
table are bad. Don't think for once
that you can eat or permit your
children to eat every and any way
at home and then be able to have
them behave becomingly when you
yourself entertain or SO out. We act
abroad just as we act at home
Habit is a wonderful thing and if
we get in the habit of eating with
our knives at home try as we may
Snd when we least expect it and when
we would have our best foot for
ward. we find the knife going to our
mouth.
Mothers train your child at your
own table. Don't allow him to be
careless at your table, then of course
hc VIII not be curCleSs at the table
of others Aunt Pat has found in
correcting members of her own fam
lily that they would say. "Oh, well
there's nobody here but home folk"
Then | would always answer in re-
turn: Eat at your own table as if
1t We're The table of a king"
If you are not up on the points
in good table manners. Aunt Pat
suggests that you get a book on
Etiquette. Any good book will cor
tain all of the most important rules.
Read them over at the table talk
them over together and in this way
a number of frequent mistakes may
be avoided such as eating with a
knife, cutting pie with spoon,
drinking with your spoon in your
cup, putting your mouth down to
the food instead of bringing the food
to your mouth and many others made
in every home may be corrected.
lovingly

CLUB NOTES AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES.
THE POWER OF HABIT

Nearly all are familiar with the old
saying that if we sow a thought VIC
reap an act, from the act we gain
habit, our habits make our char
acter and our character, will de-
termine our destiny.
Few of US understand how a great
a hold our habits have upon us. Did
you know that every time we form
n new habit we have really made a
physical change in our beings The
physiological definition of habit is a
pathway in the nervous system. IL
is the tendency of cells once acting
together to act together again in
chology tells us that we can think
no thought or perform no act, with
out there is some change in our
nervous system. These words "one
victory Will help you some other to
win" taken from an old song are as
true as can be. Do you not see at
once the necessity of keeping care
ful watch over our thoughts and ac-
tons
If we make our habits good habits
then we are fortunate indeed and
they viii help us every day of our
life, but II We carelessly allow bad
dorcd just that much. Did you know
we could form the habit of crouch
mess as well as the habit of tea
drinking or mildness of temper as
well as habits of bodily cleanliness?
Why not determine now and cult
vate more and more the things tina
viii make us better mentally, phys
ica.iy and spiritually and strive to
cease doing anything that we woulj
not wish to have as a lasting habit.
IL Is a well known fact that child
rem form habits much more easily
than adults When a child has reach
ed his seventh year he has gained
many habits that are going to stay
with him through life. in fact, it
is largely determined by that time
what his general outlook on life il
going to be. The mothers influence
upon the chld's life Is greatest during
those first years. Think then of her
wonderful responsibility! Why cannot
our children be led to form habits
of cleanliness, cheerfulness, lovers OF
the best in music and literature,
thrift, reverence and industry? Isn't
II up to us to make our habits what
we will? We have daily, hourly
responsibility. Prof. James gives us
three rules to use. in forming new
habits
/. Start with proper enthusiasm.
2. Never allow an exception.
3. Build from old habits, that is,
connect your new habits is some
way with an old one.
Habits are always present are al
ways being formed, all are constantly
foregoing chains of action in our ner-
vous systems thac we shall never be
6ble to break.-A. s.

COUNTY SEAT FIGHTS WE'RE

PLACES IN MONT.

Competition over the securing Of
the permanent location of county
seats in the more recently created
counties brought an unusual interest
into the campaign which has closed,
and was the cause of a number of
bitter fights between the supporters
of the several towns which were COM
petitors for the prizes.
In the county of Glacier, created
by the legislature Of 1919, the prize
was won by the town of Cut Bank,
which had been the temporary coun-
ty seat The town of Browning also
sought the prize and the vote result
ed: Cut Bank, 1852; Browning, 733.
In Pondera county, sister county to
Glacier, the fight was between Con-
rad, the temporary seat, and the
town OF Waller. This fight was de-
cided in favor of Conrad which won
by the decisive majority of 443.
Up in Roosevelt county, where four
towns had been seeking the prize.
Wolf Point. Poplar, Bainville and
Culbertson. the fight narrowed to
three towns few days before cleo
ton When Culbert on withdrew in
favor of Bainville. The vote result

l.2S4; Bainville, 1850. AS none OF
the contestants obtained majority
1t will be necessary that Wolf Point
ana Poplar light it out at the gen
eral election two years from now.
In McCone county the town of Cir
Gle. the present temporary seat, won
over its only competitor, Vida, by
narrow margin, the vote resulting:
Circle. l,l12; Vida, 1,OSS.
In the recently created county of
judith Basin. where the fight was
between the towns OF Hobson and
stanford, the matter is still at issue
and will have to be decided in the
courts. each town claiming the cleo
non ~ margin OF 13 votes, and
charges OF fraud have been filed.
In Powder River county, created
