Fame Destroys Flowers.

Fame has been the undoing of many
wild flowers as OF men. Years ago the

region. Then William Cullen Bryant

gentian II was literary sensation of
the days when Bryant was at the height
Of his popularity and power, and most
Of US have read II in school. The i'm

fashionable to gather the gentian. with
the result that it Is now d rare flower
and considered a find by naturalists.
TO soc the gentian in its natural pro-
fusion you must go to the Rocky
Mountains. where a related variety is
still abundant in wild places.

as the "sweetest flower that grows

Potatoes: The condition of the DO
tato crop on September / was 70 per
cent indicating a crop of 5000, 900
bushels compared to the August fore
cast of 100000 bushels from a con-
dition of 500, one year ago the con
dition of the crop was 70% and the
ten year average for September / is
1870. The reports from the principal
potato sections indicate that the num-
Der of potatoes per hill is less than
expected and that in a few cases the
tubers are small. The condition of the
commercial crop is slightly above the
state average and the quality is re-
ported very good. Disease and insect
damage has been light. Last years
crop estimated at 100000 bushels
and the five year average is 5,181, 900
bushels.
Rains and favorable weather condi-
tons in the north central and north
eastern sections of the United States
have improved the late potato crop as
indicated by several of the above fore
casts.
The finding of a market for the
surplus potatoes in Montana is very
important at this time and growers
are urged to use particular care in
the grading and Standardization of
their porducts so as to meet the COM
petition of other sections.

HAZEL HURD RECITAL

An unusually attractive recital was
given by Miss Hazel Hurd before a
number of her friends at her home
Thursday evening, September eight,
in honor of Mrs. j. L. Slattery.
Miss Hurd's versatility was evil
denced by her wide repertoir, which
included selections varying from those
containing the humor of Paul Lawr-
ence Dunbar's "When Angelina Came
Trippin' Down the Line" to the trag-
edy and pathos of MADAM Butterfly
Miss Hurd is exception in her ability
to create setting and give local color.
Her sympathetic treatment of several
vocal numbers was also greatly appre-
ciated by the audience.
Mrs. Arthur Friedlund rendered two
highly enjoyable piano numbers. AT
the close of the program, Mrs. Hurd,
assisted by Mrs. Rapp served sherbert
and cake.

DODGE BEATS FAST

Driven by R. r. jefferson, sales
representative of the Dodge Brothers
Motor company and accompanied by
a local man as official observer, a new
model Dodge touring car was driven
from this citv to Glasgow last Monday
in the record breaking time of one
hour mad 20 minutes, the speedometer
registering exactly So miles. The trip
was made without any Effort being
made to show the road ability Of the
Dodge car. Mr.. jefferson had a hurry
up call to come to Glasgow on business
in connection with his company.
When it is remembered that the time
of the mail train from here to Glas-
gov j sat the rate of 471l2 miles pei
hour and the Dodge time was 4S "a
miles per hour made over extreme
dusty roads, it looms up very well for
the Dodge. The name Of the officia,
observer who accompanied Mr.. Jeffer.
son, is being withheld for the time
being on account of his condition
brought about by hitting the higl
places. No more official observation

EMPORIUM HAS BEEN
VASTLY IMPROVED

Prosperity-a big trade-seems to
have struck the Emporium, if a mere
man is any judge about conditions in
an exclusively ladies' mart.
The new arrangement of the show
cases and counters adds to the beauty
for which the store is famed. BY the
present arrangement the different de-
partments are segregated into sep
arate booths, where stock of one par
ticular line is kept and displayed, a
plan attractive and convenient to GUS
toner and saleslady alike.
The shoe department still occupies
one half of the store, the booths men,
toned being arranged along the other
side, in this order, the blouses, sweat
ers, ETC.; corset, brasiers, silk under
wear, boudoir caps, knitted goods; in
fants and children's wear and novel
ties; dry goods and notions. The
deliberately furnished and mirrored
back part Of the big room is devoted
to millinery and ready to wear, and
to fitting purposes. The beauty par
lors and alteration departments re-
main on the first %balconys.
Mrs. Slattery, the capable manager
of the big establishment, when asked
to explain, said that the store was en-
joying an ever increasing patronage,
and that she was aiming to make il
bigger, better and more attractive
than ever. The Emporiums fall open
ing is tomorrow.

KATIE JANE PLANT WHITE

Kate Jane Plant White was born in
Plymouth, Indiana, March Is, 1868
where she lived until she came to
Bluebells, N. D. in 1908. Here she
made her home until coming to Glas-
go win 1915.
Katie Plant was married to Funnias
Alvin White in Plymouth in 1845 and
to them six children were born of
whom two are living, Mrs. Claudia
Madison of Minneapolis. Mimi, and
Mrs. Faith Dawson of Eureka, Mon
tana.
Mr.. White passed on from home
here in Glasgow two years ago.
Mrs. White became a member of the
Methodist church when but a girl, her
grand father being a minister in that
church. Her husband was a lay preach
err in the Christian church of which
hse became a member after her mar
riage.
Before her death Mrs. White had
been ailing for some time with heart
trouble and since December had been
afflicted with dropsy and had exper-
fenced such s%ufferening that she
longed for sweet relief.
Mrs. White was a beautiful Chris
tian mother, greatly devoted to her
home-one of whom it may be said
"in her tongue was the law of kind.

AT THE ORPHEUM

So promising and overwhelming is
the assurance of support of robin
Hood that a definite contract by Man
ager Wharton has been made, and
the De koven masterpiece will be pre-
scented here matinee and night, Satur-
day, September "a.
The coming of Ralph Dundar's pro-
duction of the famous American comic
opera, if n is to judge by the senti-
ments expressed where the company
has been, will prove a noteworthy
event in local annals, for it affords
the opportunity desired by many of
hearing the opera adequately done,
with a cast of real artists, an excellent
chorus, an orchestra of symphony
players, a full quota of mechanicians
with complete equipment of scenery,
costumes, properties and effects. That
some producer is willing to assume
the risk of sending to the smaller
cities such a production, is cause for
gratitude from every one who appre-
ciates real worth in this field.
While the usual advertising meth
DDS will be utilized, it should be re-
membered that the coming of Robin
Hood is somewhat of an experiment,
and if we are to be accorded visits by
productions of its class, the attend
ance of many who are not interested
in ordinary theatrical offerings must
be assured. To do this, everybody who
believes in American standards OF
musical art and enjoys clean, delight
full entertainment should do his share
of boosting.
