Ot R NORTHERN BORDER

How vigilant it is necas1.::.s to be in th= light against the violation of the federal and state laws against the pos session and sale of narcotics is revealed by the latest seizure of habit forming drugs by the New York detectives who found in a four room fiat two million grains of dope valued at S2OO,OOO
 This haul was made following the knowledge that such drugs were being peddler and sold on the streets by those who were either well supplied or in touch with large quantities of the demoralizing stuff, and it has doubtless provided evil d-nce that will lead to disclosures con- ceruine the manner in which the narcot- ics are brought into the country.
 Large profits await those who are will ing to engage in this horrible business and there is evidence galore to show that there are plenty who are willing not only 10 take the chance of getting caught but who are anxious to put the stuff into the hands of those whose lives it VIII wreck that they may increase their bank rolls.
 Without knowing the basis for it the Impression prevails that it is from Can ada tAat the most of the narcotic drugs are being brought into this country in violation of the law. Evidence abounds that there are those who attempt to smugEle 1t in through the different ports. but the vigilance that is shown there is responsible for the detection of large amounts if not all that is thus brought 10 our shores in that manner
 If # IS through Canada that the coun- try is being supplied illegally with great quantities of dope against the efforts that are being made to protect humanitv from it's dangers. it is evident that much more strict measures must be taken in guarding that border, for it is from that direction that booze in great volume is being poured into the country in defiance of prohibition. It is not an easy door 10 keep closed, but if the federal laws gre going to accomplish their purpose the necessary effort must be put forth

PROMOTING SAFETY.

Probably there is nothing that A Is for betterment more than the danser spots where railroads cross highways at grade. They are the cause of many &C., cidents and almost as many deaths and in spite of great outlays which have been made with a view to the elimination of these crossings and the fatalities that are constantly occurring these there yet remain great numbers of them through out the country, and many without any signal to warn the highway users bar Ting the customary railroad crossing danger sign.
 And yet it has been repeatedly showp that while the danger at grade cross ings is real 1t can be reduced to a very tow degree if there is due amount of attention paid to them and deferential respect shown for the destructive powers of a locomotive. Those who use cross ings should exercise proper care and ap- preciate the need of personal protection. It is the lack of this that is too often the cause of the unfortunate accidents at such points
 That it is possible to bring about 2 large reduction in the number of cross.
 
 is we'll illustrated by the results obtain. ed by the Long Island railroad which has many crossings and because of the good highways large number of auto. i mobilists to deal with. It was on thi: road that autoists disregarded signals crashed through gates and ran down ant killed flagmen in the mad determination to beat the trains to crossings and tn, unwillingness to respect safety meas ures.
 i As the result of long campaign of in 1 structions in behalf of safety it is pos- i sible, however, for the road to report reduction in the number killed from 9 in 1898 to ten in 1919 and for sevel months of this year only four, with tn injured showing a decrease from 209 ii 1918 to 29 in 1919 and only seven in tn | first seven months of this year. This shows good results from the rail roads efforts and it likewise indicate l that if the users of crossings will bu | have due care for themselves the dange will be greatly decreased.

OUR DYE INDITSTRY-

Germany is desrious of course of re- storing it's dye industry to the position that it held previous tp the war, when it Was engaged in meeting the requirements of many countries outside it's borders. It .s not surprising therefore that the Ger man government is giving it every pos- sible assistance. It has in view more than the object of putting it back on it's ieet' it is seeking to get back the busi- ness that it once had and that had to be abandoned during hostilities
 Just how much the other countries are going to help it in it's purpose, rec ognizins of course that trade with Ger many is not to be shut off entirely if Germany is going to be able to carry out the terms of the treaty anS meet it's - J. Hsations, remains to be seen
 When brought face to face with the fact that the dependence that had been placed upon German dyes was gone it became necessary for dependent countries 10 strike out for themselves. This was done on large scale by this country. by Great Britain and by France. It was found that while Germany had been rec ognized as the nation of expert dye mak- CTS others could lay quite as much claim Co as great ability and results after A proper period of experimentation and the result is that countries which were entirely or partially dependent upon Ger many six years ago for dyes are now meeting their own requirements to a large extent

THE STORY of Our STATE

XL. MONTANA

Peter John de Smet began mission work among the Flathead Indians and the next year established a Mission of the Indians of Bitter Root Valley
 Gold was discovered in Montana as early as 1852 by the halfbreed Francois Finlay near Hell Gate River. This. how ever created little stir and it wasn't un- til five years later when John Silver thown discovered gold in quantities, that mining settlements sprang up in the mountains. This region had been part of Nebraska Territory, which in 1883 was subdivided and became a DOT tion of Idaho Territory. The next year it was organized as the separate Terri tory of Montana. But there was litt,e or no government and the outlawing of the rough mining camps was only checked by vigilance committees.
 | Virginia City was the capital and here 1 in 1885 was issued the Montana Post

 the capital was changed to Helena ana | ten years later a state constitution wal i adopted. The state was not taken into

powers guarantee the neutrality of Ru- mania during the war; but they were too busy with their own affairs and his efforts failed.
 Then Rumania decided to enter an agreement with Russia. This agree ment, which is Illuminating. in the light of present day history, granted free passage of Russian troops over Rumanian soil Russia undertaking to respect the political rights and to de- fend the integrity of Rumania.
 One of the first acts of Rurnania after hostilities began was to declare her independence of Turkey. As the war proceeded, Russia found herself in sore need of help. Repeated appeals finally brought Rumhnian participa- tion, and Prince Carol was given the supreme command of the allied forces before P1eVna, where he gained a great but costly victory.
 When the war ended and Turkey and Russia entered into the treaty of San Stefano, 1t did recognize Rumari- an independence, although Rumania was not admitted to the peace confer ence. But 1t also provided that Ru- mania should get the swampy country between the Danube. where 1t flows north, and the Black sea. On the other hand, Russia was to have Bcssarab bia territory which Rumania claimed and | part of which she had occupied. "Rumania stood firm against the idea Of giving up the beautiful Bes- sarabia in exchange for the unattract. l i've Dobrudia. Russia thereupor | threatened to disarm the Rumaniar army. to which Prince Carol respond.

penses always strike Caroline as surpris- ing catastrophes.
 Then you recall, no doubt, the tele- gram which arrived last 5night-at a. m.-from Caroline, announcing that she would arrive Saturday morning either at ;55 or S:55 and that we need not meet her. As she neglected to state the road she was coming son she need not have worried about our dashing to the station in negligee in the dawn of morning.
 Somehow the message did not make as much impression ion me as it miglh have done because Iremembered that the country club dances there always happen on Friday nights and I was positive that somebody would be having party to which she would be asked-and l never yet heard of a girl turning down party for the mere reason that she should be doing something else at the time. So was not alarmed when the telegraph boy arrived this afternoon with another message. It said: Will arrive Sunday if can get reservations. If I get them on the A. Z roah will arrive at p. m.

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:


DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
know a girl who Is going about
with a man. One day / happened
to be introduced to him. He in
stantly seemed to take a liking to
me and at last told the other girl
he did not want to go about with
her as he no longer cared for her.
1t took him long time to say this.
but she had suspected 1t. and 1t
seems to me that she loves him. She
would not part from him. He likes
me, 1 know. as well as I like him,
but 1 could never go around with
him because of this first girl. l have
tried to bring them together He
Is very sociable, and they talk, and
he takes her home. but she then
begs him to come again and he only
does so because he Is sorry for her.

When a man no longer cares for
a firl he does her no kindness by
yielding to his own weak desire to
make things easy and see her. II
the man in the case really takes no
interest in the other girl. he's only
making things harder by seeing her
and giving her little Kindness
when she wants SO much more.
