there Is no idea Of permanence.
And yet man-made ideas are respon-
sibie. The woman beautiful Is given first
place Of the women of the world. she
is taught to put the pursuit OF pleasure
before everything. due to her worldly
education = sensation IL her only source
of happiness, and she creates series
of rapidly succeeding pleasures that
feed her appetite for sensation: LIE
ments, and the sensations she expert
| ences are never deep or lasting. Girls
| of all classes who are not clever enough
to be remarkable copy these pamperet
| women, who have absolutely no ideali
| to consecrate their lives.
Yet now women are free to alter these
| conditions. Are they going to stop ant
think how to change things for the bet

this glorious Republic will lead, and tn
chaotic state Of a society that Is tragi
cally inconsequential will disappear an

The old-fashioned girl will neve

DANGER OF OAK LEAVES
POISONING STOCK IN SPRING

Oak leaves, if eaten continuously by
cattle, produce a sickness which fire.
quently proves fatal, Investigations
conducted by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
show. Most oak-leaf poisoning, the
specialists say, occurs in the spring,
for at that time there is a scarcity of
green forage on many ranges and
the craving which stock have for
green food leads them to eat the leaves
IN excessive amounts. In order to
cause sickness, however, oak leaves
must be eaten almost exclusively. If
eaten with other feed, the animals
are not injured. 1t has been found
eXperimentally that as small a guam
tity as 3 pounds daily of alfalfa hay
fed in connection with oak leaves pre-
vented poisoning.
Observations on the range and ex-
perimental feeding both show that
some cattle may eat oak leaves for
a long time with no definite bad eff
fects, and some will even eat them ex-
clusively with no harm. Generally
speaking, those that are injured show
the results only after eating a con-
siderable quantity through a rather
prolonged period, usually from 16 to
IS days. The specialists point out
that the oaks on many ranges furnish
a most important element in summer
feed when additional sources of for
age are available, but they urge that
care be exercised during the spring

PERSHING WILL HEAD
REORGANIZED STAFF

Washington, April 21.-Organiza-
ton of a war staff headed by General
Pershing to take charge of field op-
GRAFTON of armies of the United States
in time of war, was announced Thurs
day by Secretary Weeks.
"Instant preparation in time of
peace for active military operations
was given by the secretary for the
new organization.
The organization headed by General
Pershing will be entirely separate
from the office of chief of the staff
Mr.. Weeks said, which will continue
to direct the activities of the military
establishment in time of peace. Gen.
eral Pershing will have a s%keletonized
staff which will correspond to that al
Chaumont during the world war anG
which will concern itself entirely with
problems of strategy, tactics and wa,
organization.
"We are going to have a skeleton
lied general headquarters established
in the var department said Secretary
Weeks. "Its purpose will be to keer
US instantly prepared for active mill
tary operations. The details will be
given out later by General Pershine

Before the world war, Secretary
Weeks explained, Marhsal Joffre haC

had organized a skeleton staff which

WHEAT BELOW DOLLAR MARK

Quin-Shephardson Co. opinions OF
the markets are that during the week
July wheat in the Southwest for the
first time in years fell below the dol
lar mark and for the same delivery
month $1.O1A at Chicago was reach
ed. The new crop scenery in the
Southwest, save for minor damage
reports, remains so far faithful to
its large promise of a record breaking
size.
The feature of the present situation
is the strength of Cash Wheat and
the May delivery. In most markets
there is very close adjustment be-
tween available stocks and open CON
tracts. AS anticipated in the Re-
view of April II, the May-July spread,
particularly in Winnipeg, has ma
terially widened. India, usually an i'm
portant surplus producing country,
now claims a decrease in her new
Wheat crop approximating 100 Mil
lion bushels so that imports there
may be necessary. No large Wheat
export business is reported for the
week, but a demand from an unusual
ource developed, Japan taking 10
thousand tons of our Wheat the past
week.
Foreign news indicating final and
an amicable settlement soon of the
German Reparation Bill and negotia-
tions having ben resumed for settle
ment of the British Coal Miners
strike, a constructive and stimulating
effect is noted in both the financial
and Grain Markets.

FARM BUREAU
SEWING CLASS

Reports from the sewing class held
in the rooms in the Rumble Building
under the direction of the State Col
lege and Miss G.. Erickson of the
Farm Bureau show that it was a great
success.
The twenty-one ladies enrolled were
faithful in attendance and did some
excellent work.
Each lady came with her pattern
and material for a house dress and
while Miss Patchen gave general in
formation about taking measures,
changing patterns and cutting, she
also gave each lady individual help.
After the dresses were cut out a les
son on seams vas given and the seven
sewing machines then were kept busy.
Miss Patchin had many excellent
patterns of her own for sleeves, col
lars, etc, and explained the proper
way of putting in sleeves. In the
afternoon a very interesting lesson
was given on making bound button
holes.
Friday was the last day and in the
morning Miss Patchin taught the fit
ting of skirt bands and patching. In
the afternoon the making of gingham
flowers was taught to a very large
class.
At each of these general lessons
many visitors were present showing
the interest taken in the class by the
ladies of the town.
The class was unanimous in their
appreciation of the work accomplish
ed and asked Miss Patchin to return
in the fall and conduct a sewing class
of a slightly different nature.

NO EXTRA SESSION
SAYS GOVERNOR DIXON

Il am going to call no special SEES
sion of the legislature and l don't
know anybody else who is going to
call one" was the comment of Gov
ernor Joseph M. Dixon today when
asked concerning the rumors of a
special session circulated in He
lena. These rumors apparently had
their origin in gossip concerning the
condition of various funds of state in
situations.
Nothing has come to my attention
or to the attention of any board that
would indicate there is the slightest
necessity for a meeting of the assem-
bly," continued Governor Dixon. "In
my judgment sufficient funds have
been appropriated for the various
state institutions to carry them
through the coming two years, under
all ordinary circumstances.
Wisely spent, these funds will pro-
vide for every need and the board of
examiners has started out with the
intention of permitting no waste and
with the determination to keep ex-
penditures within the sums allotted"
