hearty spirit of fellowship existin
 there and among the other welfare organizations of the city. We sim cerely wish that New Britain as a city could see fit to utilize the great force of energy awaiting a chance in the minds and muscles of these fathers of families who are forced to remain idle for a time. Strangers over ana again complain of the lack of street signs and the inability to locate thor oughfares except with the inconveni- ence of repeated inquiries. Strangers always admire our park on the hill- sides in the center of our factory town and exclaim at the possibilities of its beauties. Visitors admire the type of substantial homes built along the elm shaded streets of our suburbs, but they comment on the bumps and gullies of the pavements and roads. Would not New Britain profit by us- ing the labor now available 10 beau tify and improve the value of out city? Would it be labor and money i'll spent when both the city and its peo- pie are benefited?

Involved in Tangle
of Third Lawsuit

Lewistown, Dec. 23.-While Gordon
Campbell and Helen NJ Campbell OF
this city brought suit in the district
court here against L. c. Stevenson,
over the affairs and holdings OF the
Gordon Campbell-Kevin syndicate. the
second in few weeks, A. I. Haywood,
an attorney of Helena, also brought
another action against both l.. Z. Stew
enson and Gordon Campbell.
In the action of the Campbeils
against Stevenson it is asked that the
court cancel the contract between them
regarding what is known as "Sunourst
acreage and leases to that ground. IN
Toole county, and involving its title,
The agreement forming the OASIS or Tue
suit was entered into, according to the
complaint, through error and because
of the failure of the defendant. as the
fiscal agent of the Gordon Campbell
Kelvin syndicate, to inform the plain
tiffs as to the actual status of the fls-
cal affairs Of that syndicate. The
plaintiffs maintain that it was the duty
of the defendant, as the fiscal agent,
to inform them, before entering this
contract with him, as to the actual con-
ditions. They also allege that there is
no consideration for the contract.

they any less beautiful than before1
True, anything in the way Of jewels
that is cheap is sure to be unfash-
ionable, but to the eye that appre-
ciates beauty, it is never cheap.
There is the cleaning topaz, for
instance. What more beautiful
stone than a finely cut topaz was
ever worn at the throats of beautys
And, there is the lovely blue of the
amethyst. Neither &C these jewels
are very expensive, but neither Of
them are surpassed in beauty by the
diamond, the ruby or the sapphire
to our eyes. And, we must not for
get the Montana agate, those stones
to be found by the bushel in some
of our Montana streams, some of
them cut into pictures made by the
hand of God that cannot be equalled
by any artist. They are cheap, and
beautiful also. So we are not wor-
ried about the price of pearls, or
their being discarded by fashion.
They will be always beautiful, and
the more commonly they are worn,
the better. Beauty is not the ex-
elusive heritage Of the rich. !;

CRIPPLED CHILDREN
ARE MADE WELL BY
ORTHOPED|C BOARD
Commission Created by Legis-
lature Treats Many Cases
in Five Months.

Billings. Dec. 23.-Five INDECENT,
crippled children have been cured and
many more are under treatment, ac-
cording to announcements from the
Montana Federation Of Women's Clubs
made here Friday. The work Is being
done under the Montana Orthopedic
commission, which was created by the
Hast session of the state legislature
The commission, consisting OF Mrs.
George Mills, chairman, Of Garnelii;
Mrs. II. G. Dillavou, executive seere-
tary, of Billings; DR.. W: +. Cogsweii,
Helena; Mrs. P. J. Brophy, Butte, and
Dr.. " ". Andrus. Miles City, met
with a committee from the Montana
State Medical association at Billings
in July and accepted their recommend
alton as to orthopedic surgeons and
requirements
The bill provides for surgical and
hospital aid for INDECENT crippled chill
dren. Immediately following the July
meeting, application blanks were sent
to county physicians, nurses and others
who might know of such cases. BY
August several applications had been
received and one case was under treat
nent in each of the three places do
ing work under the commission, Bill
Ilings. Great Falls and Lewistown. Since
that time 43 more applications have
been received and many requests for
information.
At present there are 25 cases I'M
der treatment, five have been sent
home cured and six have been exam
ined and pronounced hopeless. Braces
have been bought for three cases re-
curing no other treatment or opera
ton, and several eases have been APP
proved that are yet to come in.
MANY of the cases have had club
feet said a club member, recently,

ment of casts, it is a great delight to
see the little chaps hop about and
play ball or circus. Recently. / vis-
tied ward where six or eight such

than any trapeze performer.
"One little girl of II, whose means
of locomotion had been her hands and

her operation. She exclaimed with

PLENTY Of WATER
ON VAL Ter PROJECT
FOR COMING SEASON
Farmers Encouraged by Pros
poets in Irrigated Territory
for Next Year.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Waller, Dec. 23.-Prospects are
bright for u prosperous year on the
Waller irrigation project, according to
w. ". Wayman, and with the ex-
pected return to normal, farmers in
that section are much encouraged.
1.-THE snow conditions on the water
shed which supplies the Waller irri-
CATION system are very satisfactory
he said. Present reports from the
mountains indicate that there is more
snow in that locality than any prcvi-
Gus year at this date. With the prob
able snowfall between now and spring
the Waller project should have ample
supply of water for next season with
large amount to carry over. The
reservoir now covers at its present
stage 3,7OO acres. Ice on the lake
is now of good quality and about Is
inches thick. The Great Northern
crew is now just completing the spur
to the lake and the loading machin-
cry will be installed very shortly. The
Great Northern is expecting to secure
all the ice they need for Montana
from Lake Frances at this point.
There is probably no artificial body of
water in the state that is any purer
or where the conditions are as ideal
for securing ice supply as at this
point.
..While all farmers have been com
pelled to take their loss in the general
deflation, yet it is surprising to see
how many are planning on better
farming for next year. There is quite
an interest taken in hogs and good
breeding stock is in great demand. A
good deal of interest is taken in the
dairy industry and it is considered a
mark of affluence to be seen carrying
a cream can. There are about 400
cows milked in the vicinity of Waller
and many of the farmers are trying to
finance the purchase OF some good,
first class dairy cattle. 1t would take
about 800 to supply the demand.
"The farmers generally realize that
thew have been farming too much land
and the tendency this coming season
will be to cut down the acreage and
increase the yield per acre. 1t is
generally expected that the lands thus
released will be readily taken by
others with the opening of spring.
The lands on the project have never
b.en doomed, and splendid farms con
be secured at 800 per acre with
yater rights fully paid UP, and on long
time with low rate of interest. The
Federal Farm Land banks are fune-
tioning and in this way people OF
limited capital are able to secure and
pay out on home of their own.

Butte, Dec. GA challenge to the
