INTERESTING BOOK BY
CHARLES N. RUSSELL
Cowboy Artist Out With Volume of
Old Time Western Tales. Book Is
Enthusiastically Russell.

Charlie Russell has written a book
1t is Just the sort Of q book that those
who know the greatest p%ortrayer OF
western life would be expected to
write-western stories, mostly Of the
old range days, told in RusselPs char
~acteristic way and assembled under
the title "Rawhide Rawlins' Stories"
Russell has created a cowpuncher char
acter whom he calls Rawhide Rawlins,
who tells the stories, II in number, in
the vernacular Of the range days Of
the sos. These are illustrated with
no less than 35 drawings in Russelrs
inimitable style. Most of these
sketches are gems of Russell humor.
The Rawhide Rawlins stories will
be on sale at book stores and news
stands and on account Of the fame of
the author and his we'll known gift
of humorous narrative the book prom
Uses to enjoy a vide popularity, es-
pecially for the Christmas trade. The
Montana Newspaper association of
Great Falls is the publisher.
The humor in the stories and in the
pictures that illustrate them will de-
light Montana people, particuary, as
many Of the characters who appear in
the yarns will be recognized by their
descriptions. Some are called by
name; others so portrayed that their
friends will at once spot them.
But perhaps the most astonishing
thing about the book is the price. Like
Mark Twain, who insisted that an edi-
ton Of his works be put out at a cost
that would enable almost any family
to own one, Russell would listen only
to a price for his first book that most
people can afford to pay, and finally
limited the retail price to 81, except
ing when sold by mail, when 10 cents
is added.
"These are hard times with a lot
Of folks" said the. artist. IF this
book is going to give anyone a laugh
I want the price low enough so that
the people to whom a dollar means
a dollar will feel they're getting their
moneys WORTH"

HOW A CRAB CHANGES SUITS
He Withdraws Painfully From His Old
Shell and Then Quickly Grows
Another,

How does a crab grow? Does his ar
NOR increase in size to accommodate
his body as it becomes larger and
larger? AS a matter of fact it does
not the shell never alters at all. The
crab, like a growing boy, requires a
new suit every now and then to cover
his growing limbs.
He grows slowly inside his shell, un-
til a day comes when he simply cannot
bear it any longer, says a writer. Then
he retires to the safest hiding place
that he can find, and a curious process
begins. Grasping a tuft of seaweed
firmly with his legs, he begins to move
his body about inside his shell. In a
short time a crack appears across the
back. Through this the crab gradu-
ally heaves out his soft body.
Then, after a short rest, he sets to
work on the long business of unsheath-
ing his claws, legs and feelers, each Of
which is drawn out of it's armOred COW
ering, just as a sword is pulled from
the %scabbard.
Your crab is now the most defense
less creature imaginable; not only is
his body as soft as butter, but he is
quite unable to move, for the unshell-
ing process has completely exhausted
him.
He remains perfectly still, trusting
that he is well concealed from foes.
And as he waits you see him growing.
There was not room for much expan-
Sion inside the shell, so he makes up
for lost time once he is out of it.
In a short time a new shell begins
to form, and before many weeks have
passed he is as full armored as ever,
and several sizes larger.

GERMANS PREFER
BAN NER OF THE
FORMER f N PR E.
(By the Associated Press)

BERLIN, oct. 99.-The black, red
and gold flag of the German republic
is less in evidence than any other of
the dozen or more official emblems
and city Of the country. The most
popular banner is the black, white
and red of the former empire.
In some provinces and in mum.
Der of towns the republican flag has
ncvcr been flown, is not recognized,
and cannot be purchased.
Even in Berlin seat of the govern
ment, the flying standards of the em-
pire outnumber those of the repub-
lie, which appear generally TO be re-
stricted to necessary official use or
TO popular demonstrations in favor
of the new regime.
The red flag of the communists u.s.
ually flies side by side with the repub-
lican colors during any popular pa
rades or manifestations.
In some quarters this situation has
caused agitation against monarchial
propagandists and here and there has
resulted in fights between the police
and adherents of the monarchy or
between monarchists and republicans
but on the whole It has passed un.
noticed.
The only definite effort 10 prevent
tho use of the flag of the republic has
come from the mercantile interests,
which are strenuously seeking author.
lty to retain their old colors-the flag
Of the empire with the outline of an
iron cross in the upper right hand
corner. It is argued this flag was
known in nearly every port of the
world before the war and that its
Abandonment would handicap German
shipping, which is seeking with all
available means TO regain its pre-.
war prestige.
The government has indicated that
a referendum may soon be held TO
permit people generally to decide whe.
ther the demand Of the mercantile in
terests should be granted.
Each German state holds proudly
TO its old colors-the blaclS.white of
Prussia, the blue-white of Bavaria, the
green-white of Saxony. and, among
the German residents, the yellow-white
of Upper Silesia. East Prussia flies the
flag OF the empire, and declares 1t
will have no other.

NIGHTHAWK BRANCH OF CHEROKEE
INDIANS RETURN TO COMMUNISM

MUSKOGEE, Okla, Oct. 29.-Com
munism is the end toward which the
lives of the Nighthawk branch of the
keetoowah-ful blood society of the
Cherokee Indians are being shaped.
This communism, however, is but a
means to the end when each shall

RELIEF BILL FOR STOCKAIEN
WILL CUT THREE MILLION
FROM TAX ROLLS.
Experts Figured Abandonment of 40
Per Cent Assessment Plan
Means Heavy Loss.

The states tax rolls will drop
probably S3,0O0,0OO, added to the
Sl5,0OOO0O cut already granted the
livestock industry by Che tax com
mission, as the result of one of the
bills fostered by the executive COM
mittee of the New Mexico Cattle
and Horse Growers Association for
the relief of the hard pressed indus
try.
The bill is the one that stops the
practice of assessing lands held un-
der contract of purchase from the
state land department at 40 per
cent of their value and provides
for assessment Of these lands at the
actual value of the interest held by
the purchaser amomtof pay
ments made by him to the depart
ment.
Experts figure the change would
cause the loss of approximately So
0O0O00 on the top Of the heavy re-
duction already granted the live
stock interests on aCcOuntOf the con-
ditiOn of the market and on the top
of the still further relief granted
by the tax commission by the rul-
ing which provides for reduced val
uationof 10 per cent of the grazing
lands as bad lands How much the
reduction on accountof the bad
lands totals can only be guessed
at
The 40 per cent assessment plan
already shows the purchasers Of
state lands more tender considera-
ton than Ghat shown those who buy
homes under the installment plan.
They pay taxes on the full valua-
ton of their homes, or approx
mately the full value, from the date
of purchase-noL on 40 per cent
The former, however, pay taxes
not on the full value of the land
purchased, but on the 40 per cent
The 40 per cent assessment ap-
plies to those who purchase state
lands under 30-year contracts.

phans of the Near East are children
of the Armenians-OUR ALLIES
IN THE LATE WORLD WAR.
Many people have become con-
fused and are giving to other cam
paigns, thinking they are giving to

matter or fact their money is going
elsewhere
