Summer evening frocks are a ne
cessity, for there dances at almost
every resort. And this summer there
are delightful little gowns for, both
formal and informal wear. The
gowns for the first parties and dances
of early fall are now being shown and
they n very simple and attractive,
particularly those for the debutantes
and younger matrons.
Here is a pretty dance frock which
depends upon its simplicity for its
smartness: It is fashioned Of orange
.colored chiffon worn over a flesh
slip. The bodice is a simple affair
cut with a v in the front and back.
There r no sleeves in the frock.
The skirt is one Of the new type fea-
turing an uneven bottom. Large ro-
settles Of gold and brown satin are
placed between the points Of the skirt,
forming the only trimming on the
save a novel girdle of gold. A
frock like this may be. worn upon any
formal. occasion and makes a charm
ing little costume for the country
club dinner or early season reception,

MATCHED CHICKS
ARE MOST PROFITABLE

The following suggestions for theil
care during this period are given by
poultry specialists of the department
of agriculture:
Start the brooder a day or two be-
fore putting in the chicks to see that
the heating apparatus is working
properly.
Brooder lamps should be cleaned
every day.
A record should be kept of each
hatch, showing the date set, number
and kind of eggs, number tested out,
and the chickens Matched.
Powder the chicks occasionally
during the first eight weeks.
Chicks should not receive feed IN
til they are SO hours old.
In cold weather 10 to 13 chicks are
sufficient for one hen while in warm
weather 10 to 20 can be cared for
successfully.
Toe mark the chicks as soon as
they r Matched. This enables one
to tell their ages later.
Never mix chicks of different ages.
Confine the hen until the chicks
are weaned.
The coop for hen and chicks should
be we'll ventilated, easy to clean and
Of sufficient proportions to insure
comfort.
The early Matched pullet is the one
that begins to lay early in the fall,
when eggs are high In price.

CHINESE CROESUS
100 YEARS OLD
CHIN QUONG, WORTH MORE
THAN A MILLION, HELENA'S
FIRST GARDENER
Also Made Gallatin Valley Famous
For Vegetables; Accumulated a
Vast Fortune in Sheep and Cattle
Raising and in Merchandising; Re
turns to China to Die.

Back to China, the poppy land of
his childhood, is going Chin Quong,
more than a hundred years old and
the man who claims credit for
planting the first vegetable garden
at Helena in the 7O's-some half
a century ago. Having accumu-
lated a fortune computed to be
well over $1,000, 900, and believ-
ing that the end OF his long and
adventurous career is near, he is
going to return to the scenes of
his youth, that his bones may be
laid beside those of his ancestors
when the flame of life shall have
flickered out.
Old is Chin Quong, and old he
looks. His wrinkled and line
scanned face has shrunk until 1t
resembles a dried peach more than
= human c~ountenance, but his eyes
are bright and clear and his menu
ory is keen. Old scenes of the
frontier west flash wildly before
his minds eye, and he can and
does tell of strange things hat
have happened within his obser-
walton. On a sunny, warm MORN
ing he has been accustomed to sit
outside of his store at Cheyenne,
where he has lived for the past
quarter of a century, and dream OF
days that are long forgotten-of
once-familiar faces that have long
since vanished. Chin Quong is not
a little of a philosopher, but hard
Iy of the Confucian school, for his
simple creed might be summed up
in the words of the Golden Rule.
Many of his sayings as to thrift and
right living have become well
known epigrams to the Chinese of
western America, who look upon
the old man as a sage.
Chin Quong computes his age in
he following manner:
Arrived in the United States, at
San Francisco, 1852, at the age of
II. Worked ten years in the gold
1iggings on the Sacramento river.
Drove freight teams through Nevada
.en years. Became a gardener in
Colorado in 1873. In 1874 planted
he first vegetable garden near Hell
,na. Made the Ga1latin valley ia
for vegetables.
Chin Quong then became a sheep
,wner and once had more than 1907
100 head in Wyoming under white
heep herders. Sold his sheep in
and bought cattle ranches in
which he later sold. Bought
small store in Cheyenne in 1910
md has lived quietly there since.
The venerable Chinaman has al
Ways had a knack for making and
BOARDING money. He is now so veal
by that he does not know how much
money the banks in China hold for
i'm. He always sent his surplus
unds home through the same bank
n San Francisco. His bankers there
compute his wealth at more than
Il, 100000.
Last week he left Cheyenne for
intending to take ship at
hat port for China.

Pursued in fast automobiles thru
several states and finally arrested in
Billings, three men whose names are
thought to be Willis Mccoy, c.. A
Hoban and William Enright, were
taken to Butte last week.
The chase began when the Cana
dian authorities pursued the gang
across the international boundary
line. Deputy United States marshals
picked up the trail on this side OF
the border and in fast automobiles
continued the chase.
Driving a machine that was capa-
BILE of attaining a speed of 80 miles
an hour, the pursued men were able
to elude the officers until their arri-
val in Billings. The chase led
through North and South Dakota,
Minnesota and then back into Mon
tana. A message dispatched to the
Billings police warned them that the
fugitive car was heading in that dir
ection.
Arms in Room
City Detective AL Helgo and two
officers, Lawson and Jacobs, sur
prised the men in their room in a
hotel. The men were said by the
officers to have been armed with
sawed-off shotguns and h~eavy-caliber
automatic pistols.
Request for their arrest was made
by Deputy United States Marshal j..
w. Hickman, who holds a warrant is
sued by the Canadian authorities
charging them with being fugitives
from saskatchewan Immediately
following their arrest, the men en-
ployed counsel and it is understood
they will fight extradition.
At police headquarters in Billings,
the men then gave their names as
George Green, G. E. Mcbride and
William Reimers. According to the
officers their right names are Hoban,
Mccoy and Enright. Enright, who
appeared to be the leader, is some
what older than the other two, who
apparently are not more than 20
years of age. That the officers were
taking no chances was indicated by
the manner in which the trio was

arrival in Butte.
Operate in Canada
The gang of which they are said
to be members is reported to have
spent the time cruising along the
border robbing bootleggers. At other
times they would make trips to the
interior of Canada, where they
would exchange worthless checks for
cargoes of whisky which was in turn
brought into this country.
The band, police say, comprises
road crews, cache masters and vend-
ors. The road rev are reported to
have been the active pirates, while
the cache masters received the stolen
goods which were disposed of by the
vendors. Headquarters are said to
have been maintained both In the
United States and Canada, the form
er headquarters being at Chicago.
With an automobile capable Of
travelling 80 miles an hour on dirt
roads the whiskey bandits were able
to easily overtake the smaller ma
chimes used by the bootleggers. Over
hauling their victim, who was often

would compel him to surrender the
whiskey under threat of exposure or
by means of their shotguns.
During the last six months several
killings have occurred along the bor-
der, some of which are reported to
have been the outcome of attempts to
rob bo~otleggers after they had sue
cessfully eluded the border patrol.
A man whose name was given as
"Slim" Rideig and who the federal
authorities claim was a whiskey rum
ner, was found murdered In a hay
stack last November a few miles
south of the Canadian border near
Havre.
He had been killed with a shot
gun and his body concealed. AL
the authorities express their
confidence that the man was killed
by a gang of bandits, no arrests have
been made.
