CHILDREN YOU WANT.

III you are going ON an automO-
bile trip, camping trip, an outing

with you a human miIth-prOyoker.

them better Americans.
How many will you take with you
or into your home, or for how many
will you provide i'm the home of an

Decide now whether you want boys

4 spirited controversy has recently been
carried on in the London press in regards
to the inventor of the paper pattern. For
many years the credit for this invention
has been given to Mrs. John Ellis of
Manchester. England. who is still living
at the age of g6 years. The claims of
Mrs. Ellis have been disputed by Maud
+. Miller in behalf of her father, who
began the business of publishing paper
close to the time when Mrs. Ellis entered
the field. The controversy has led to an
investigation which establishes that nei-
ther Mrs. Ellis nor Mr.. Miller made the
first paper pattern, but that the credit for
the invention belongs to an American,
Ebenezer Butterick, who cut the first
paper patterns June 16, 1868, or several
years before their first appearance in Eng
land.

ments and was very plain in the state
ments of facts, that any n collecting
money derived a crop mortgage to the
Government before the Government
is paid, surely is placing themselves
in a dangerous position. Mr.. Warbur.
ton was very plain in his statements
that this loan was no gift and surely
would be collected with interest. He
also stated that a Government repre-
sentative would be placed, in each
county about October first to look
after the Government interests in col.
lecting and reporting all Irregularities
and cases where some individual might
try and collect ahead of the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Greenfield, the agricultural Of
ficer of the Great Northern, gave
a very interesting talk and explained
the policy Of the Great Northern. He
stated that it was not the idea of the
Great Northern to hire expert agri-
culturists but to employ men to work
in close cooperation with the County
Agents, stating that their men were
we'll trained, and practical men and
that it was old duplication for the
Great Northern to hire scientifically
trained men in agriculture. Mr.. Green
field further stated that the Great
Northern policy was to spend most of
its energies in the development of the

cation lands explained briefly thu,

Then followed a lively discussion in
diversified farming, farm units, and
livestock. Fall project work was con-
sidered and given considerable time.
Grain varieties to be called standard
varieties for Northern Montana were
determined as follows: Wheat, Mar
quis and Durums; Oats, Victory; Bar
levy, Hanchen; Winter Rye, North
Dakota $50; Flax, North Dakota 1876;
Potatoes, Melted gem, Early Ohio and
Triumph. 1t was agreed that pure
seed was something that surely need
ed a great deal of attention due to the
fact that so much of the grain put on
the market is severely locked on ac-
count of mixtures, and along the same

COUNTY AGENTS ARE ACTIVE

The quarterly meeting of the County
Agricultural Agents Of Northeastern
Montana was held Monday, Septem-
Der 26, in the court room at Glasgow.
The presiding officer was ]. c. Tay-
Tor, assistant County Agent leader. M.
L. Wilson, State Leader of County
Agents was present Mr.. Wilson has
just returned from a three months
leave Of absence which he spent at the
University Of Chicago studying the
Rural Economics and Social problems.
Mr.. c. w. Warburton, who is in charge
of the Government seed grain loans
collections was present and also Mr..
Chas. Greenfield, agricultural repre-
sentative of the Great Northern rail-
road. The agents attending the con-
ference were Louis Campbell of Hill
county, w. P. Stapleton of Phillips
county, D B. Noble of Roosevelt coun-
ty.
The meeting was first turned ovel
policy Of the Secretary of Agriculture
in regard to the collecting of the seed
loans. In brief he stated it was the
policy of the secretary to collect all
loans but that no collections would be
forced until after November first. He
spoke very favorable of Valley county
farmers because so many of them had
RENTED in full. He was able to give
light on one subject that had been very
generally discussed and that was the
priority of crop mortgages and seed
liens. Many business organizations
claiming that they had prior right on
a farmers crop because their crop
mortgage was dated ahead of the
Government and that they had filled
