KANETOTA CAMPFIRE GIRLS

Tie girls of the Kanetota Campfire
Group held final frolic on Friday even

Parse. The affair, which closed the sum-
mer season, was in the nature of fake
society wedding, and was very cleverly
carried out. The wedding took place at
p. IN. in the large parlor of the Parse
residence in Steamboat avenue. The
bridal party entered the room to the
Lohengrin March played by Isabel Frame
and took their places in the bay window
under marriage bell. The clergyman

with point lace and long train. She car
ried Shasta daisies and asparagus fern.
Her maid of honor, Martha Duncan, was
goWned in white net over pink. The
flower girl, Lyndale Smith, was in white
and pink, and carried a basket of pink
phlox. The groom, the Prince of Wales,
nucille HaveneD and the groomsman

evening clothes. Mary Jerome and Thel-
ma Smith acted as ushers. Following
the ceremony a formal reception was
held, relatives of bride and groom stand

AERIAL MAIL SERVICE

Daily airplane mail service to and from
New York and San Francisco was started
about week ago, when planes started
from each of the above cities, each carry
ing 400 pounds of mail. The time re-
quired for mail train to make the trans
continental trip is about four days. 1t is
expected that, on an average, the planes
will make the trip in about two days and
half if they do not tumble to earth and
the mail is not destroyed by fire as has
nap pened twice recently between New
4ork and Chicago. The mail trains will
continue to be operated Just the same if
this scheme of Mr.. Burleson's succeeds,
because at every stopping place along
their route mail will be delivered and
received. The cost of sending mail by
train will not be materially lessened by
the airplane service. The planes cannot
carry all the mail between the two points
of departure. We assume, therefore, that
che airplane service will, for the most
part, carry mail matter of urgent BUSH
mess or personal Importance. The hazards
OF air service are so great that it is not
entirely improbable that the mail will be
delivered in some of the defiles of the
Rocky Mountains instead of in San Fran
cisco or New York. These hazards. we
believe, will not lead people to willingly

THE HOUSING PROBLEM

For many years the tendency has been
20 leave the country for the city and
since the first year of the war there has
been IN exodus which has congested the
cities and drained the farms and small
mi nufacturing concerns of the help nee
essary to produce food in normal Quanti
ties from our farms or to make possible,
in many instances, the successful opera
zion of small manufacturing plants in
competition with large competitive con-
Germs One result of this rush to the
cities is, that families who live in rented
homes in our larger cities and even in
many of our large manufacturing towns,
find It difficult to find an abiding place
the rent of which is within the means
afforded by the wages of the wage earn
ers Of the family Life is a two-fold
problem to a great many working peo-
pie, at the present time. The first prob
lem is to find suitable house in which
to live and the second is to earn money
enough to support family decently.
The housing problem has been trouble
some for some time but it has now be-
come chronic. Comparatively few dwell
ing houses are being built in this country
and there is no reason for believing that
many will be built as long as pre- ent
years ago could have been built for ST.
BOG, could not be built now for much, if
any, less than So 000 and, if built, in ten
years from now, would be in the market
a long time at So, 500 We knew man
who, in 1864. bought house for 81, 400.
He spent about S400 for repairs and i'm
provements Six years later it was in
the market year before it was sold for
81, 800 and its real value as home was
as great as ever it was. This man
bought the house with inflated currency
and when he sold it took his pay in de-
Hated currency. The same financial con-
ditions exist today as existed at the
close of the Civil war and for few years
thereafter, and there is every reason to
believe that the conditions which exist
ed some ten years after the Civil War
will exist, to a considerable extent at
least, in ten years from now. With his
tory before them and facing the high
prices of lumber, other materials and
labor, it is futile to hope that many new
dwelling houses will be erected either in
city or in the country. The painters of
the city of New York have struck for
$40 for eight hours work. The decora-
tors and paperhangers have done the
same, likewise the plumbers. The most
of these people have been receiving SO a
day. We do not know whether or not
they should have the advance demanded.
1t is not our purpose to discuss that now,
but with housebuilding at almost a stand
still and the prospect of general indus
trial crisis looming before US, we question
the wisdom of the strikers in wringing
the neck of the hen that has been laying,
every day, an egg worth 50.

think that instead, in cases which are
urgent, people will make use of night
letter which, with almost absolute GER
tainty, will be delivered in a few hours.
The expense item of the cost of planes,
the large wreckage and the cost of oper-
ating will in year take a very large sum
of money out Of the United States treas
ury, which, for the benefit of all our peo-
pie instead of comparatively few, might
be more profitably expended in improving
our land mail service in almost, if not
quite all it's various departments. Just
as long as the railway mail service re-
mains in it's present crippled condition
there will be mail delayed in transit.
The cost of airplane mail service, large
as it is, is not the only item of expense.
The loss of human life in aerial expense
is very large. About year ago fleet
of airpIanes raced across the continent,
carrying some 90 men. Nine lives were
sacrificed. The value of even one human

because it is a sacred thing If these
machines had been sent racing to carry
anti-toxin to a plague stricken city it
would have been noble effort to save
the lives of thousands, but this crazy
experiment and the present air mail ser
vice leads to little more than the public
ity which it gives to Mr.. Burleson. we
have fast mail trains, the telegraph and
the telephone. With these we can defer
the present imperfect and fatalistic air
service until practical experiment and
the study of the inventor have removed
unreasonable hazards. 1t is little less
than crime to send men to meet the
dangers of an airplane flight from ocean
to ocean in ordersto expedite the delivery
of 400 pounds of mail matter by about
thirty-six hours.

ing, between four and five inches in
depth. The most Important operation
in connection with breaking is the
packing of the furrow slices. This
should be done each day before the
soil al dry out. A seed-bed can be
prepared by light discing and harrow
ing. Many farmers in Montana have
had the best success by drilling flax
Immediately after breaking, thus de-
posting the seed in the moist, mellow
sod. whereby it obtains moisture for
termination without rainfall. Trac-
ton farmers have an advantage in that
they have sufficient power to do the
breaking, rolling. drilling and harrow
ing in M operation.
Experiments have proven that flax
is not essentially hard on land as
compared with other cash grain crops
which are sold in their original form
and not marketed through livestock.
Great care should be taken in the Sc
lection of seed free from disease infec-
ton. Seed for sowing should be free
all foreign material and from
s%hrunken, blighted seeds.

PRICES ARE ON THE ADVANCE
Four Northwest States Produce
95 Per Cent of Our Annual
Crop. United States is Fore
ed to Import About Two
Thirds of Normal Supply

Unprecedented demand in the Unit
ed States for flaxseed, from which are
produced linseed oil, linseed cake and
meal, with resulting high prices and
the inability of the nation to produce
ever a fair part Of it's annual consump-
ton, all are believed to be conditions
that will prompt Montana farmers to
increase largely their 1920 acreage Of
flax. The total annual production in
the United States is only one-third of
the amount used, the remaining two
thirds being imported from Argentina
and Canada.
-Four states, Montana, l@inneso-
ia, North Dakota and South Da-
kota, produce 95 per cent of the
nations flaxseed. Flax growers
of Montana are given assurance of
a steady market by virtue of the
serious flaxseed situation. AL
though Argentina and India have
large crops this year, the compe-
tition of Great Britain and con-
tinental Europe for the Argentine
crop is continuing strong despite
a price of So.
Demand Is Growing.
Before the war the United States
used 2S,OO0,000 bushels of flaxseed an
The 1919 production in the

FLAX IN MONTANA.

The average acre yield of fax in the
past ten years has been higher for
Montana than any other important
fiax-growing state. The yield per acre
is less for flax than for small grains,
but the market price per pound is high
er. Because of the relatively small
bulk and lower expense for hauling,
flax can be grown economically at a
greater distance from market than can
the small grains.

ing to a strong resumption in building.
The April bulletin of the United States
Department of Agriculture stated that
1T cannot be denied that there is an
unprecedented demand for linseed
oil"
Increase of acreage in the Unit
ed States cannot affect market
prices. It is known that the crop
of the United States, even if in
creased three times, would not
meet the home demand. Prices
will remain high as long as the
United States is forced to import
part of her annual supply. Prices
have increased steadily since 1918.
Statements issued recently in the
east show that the total world crop for
1920 will be short of the world demand
for flaxseed by about 100000 bush
els.

Seed Before June 10.

The best time for flax seeding in
Montana varies with crop conditions.
Early seeding gives best results in cool
seasons with early frosts, but late
sown flax is the heaviest yielder in
hot summers which are followed by
cool falls and late frosts. The Mon
tana Experiment Station advises seed
ing not later than June 10. 1t is said
that there is enough flax seed in Mon.
tana to take care of the seeding of a
normally large acreage this year. The
Montana Experiment Station win be
glad to assist farmers who desire to
purchase flax seed for seed purposes.
The amount of seed to SOW seems
to vary with the season and rainfall.
In average years one peck or IA
pounds has given better results than
heavier seeding. AS much as IS or 90
pounds has been soyn without over
crowding the plants. Shallow seeding
is preferable to deep seeding.
Advantage in Tractor.
The best results in the past have
been obtained on medium deep break
