Consider the picture that Mr.. McCay has made to
illustrate the text from st. Luke.
How simply the two scenes tell the story and
emphasize tho simple truth of the Bible text.

Al the right stands his doctor to serve him, for
a little Of his money.
His cook, his butler his lawyer an his servants

And all that he means to them Is name signed at
tho bottom Of check.
Tho money is piled up around him
His private yacht Is fast to the dock, on the Left
Of the picture. His private and huge automobile
arc on tho other side.
But he has only ONE LIFE to lead. And every
thing WORTH WHILE in that life goes on inside Of
the brain. The scenery Is not more beautifully seen
through private car window The river and the sun
set are not moro lovely from the deck Of private
yacht than from seat In small rowboat.
And having too much makes It impossible to
enjoy ANYTHING.
Money, servants, wealth, power schemes, am
biion-a these work and tear at the mind and there
is no softness, no real enjoyment left
Look, as a contrast, at the smaller scene below.
There simple man and his wife and children enjoy
life, IN REALITY.
They have little, but ENOUGH. What the man
at the top looks for vanly in his servants his money,
his yachts and his private cars, the simpler couple
find IN EACH OTHER AND IN THEIR Chill
DREN
Tho simple man, perhaps like many others,
dreams foolish dreams, and envies the man above him.
Occasionally, however you find the man who realizes
that "a mans life CONSISTENT not in the abundance Of
the things which he posseseeth but in ohnnd'nce of

fourteen words than In hundred International urea
ties for those fourteen words "A mans life conhsteh

Old fashioned preaching warned tho man Of great
wealth that it might all be taken from him suddenly
st. Luke issues tho same warning he tells You Of .
certain rich man whose gre und brought forth plent

down his barns land build greater, and there WIN
bestow all my fruits and my goods
"And will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast
much goods laid up for many years. take thine ease

/ Then comes tho warning.
= ~Bus God said unto him. Thou fool. ehb
night thy soul shall bs rsqutrsd os Ahss, then
whose ahau those things be sphich thou hast pro-

Tho folly Of too great possessions, however, CON
ssts not merely in the danger that they may suddenly
be taken from you
Great wealth. with It's responsibilities and vor-

heart. It takes the nghtness and Joy out Of hfe

thing more important than wealth. but that THE
PASSION FOR ACCUMULATION, ALWAYS

out with a pronunciamento last week
to the effect that spring had come

the count for this season. I'VE may

comeback winter may attempt will
be fizzle.

dope?" inquired Major Jean Lane.

Whenever the hens get into their
heads to start setting, you can be-

Il found two of them setting on
their nests the other day. When hen
gets into the notion of raising a
family. you can figure that the winter
is past"
Several persons who live in steam
heated apartments at Lewistown re-

beginning to buzz about, and word is

Ritch that he has been stung BY a
humble bee. and that the mosquitoes
are becoming pest at the country

YOUR DOCTOR May

PINT OF WHISKY EVERY TEN
DAYS: CASE OF BEER

Federal Officials Are Of Opinion That
Adoption Of Law Similar to Vol.

Logging in Montana; Law Is
Strict.

The Montana legislature has pass
ed law which Governor Dixon has
approved of. embodying the permits
sive features of the volstead act, by
which physicians may prescribe
whisky and beer. in limited quaint
ties for the sick. H. M. Dengler, fed
eral prohibition agent says:
Under the ruling Of Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer q citizen in case OF i'll
ness and on q physicians prescrip-
ton may obtain a pint Of whiskey
every 10 days or case Of beer every
two weeks. II the sick man should
get more than one prescription dur
ing the period that is, IL he cheats
by patronizing more than one phy.
sician and obtains more than one al
lowance Of the quantity mentioned,
he becomes subject to the penalties OF
the law"
Will Help Prohibition.
The action Of the legislature, Mr..
Dengler said, would not hamper his
office in the least. On the contrary,
he thought It would be a help. He
further stated that the new provi-
sions would help to drive out boot
leggers and moonshiners and increase
respect for the law.
There may be q few physicians
and druggists who will abuse the
law" Mr.. Dengler said. "but these
professions are made up Of high-class
men as an almost general rule. The
iunprincipled ones are 90 few that 1t
will be an easy matter to deal with
them.
Laws Provisions.
The law provides that licensed
practitioners may issue not more
than one pint every 10 days to such
persons as may need it. They will
be allowed six quarts a year for
emergency purposes and cannot pre-
scribe for themselves. Druggists and
doctors viii be forced to keep a record
of all liquor sold upon prescriptions
and make monthly reports to the

LESS SEED AND

CAMPBELL, EXPERT IN DRY
LAND FARMING, TALKS
OF HIS METHODS
Small Amount of Moisture, Necessi.
tates Intelligence, Industry and the
Ability to Abandon Old Agricultur.
I'll Methods ANA the Adoption Of
New.

Successful farming with mini
mum of moisture simply requires a
fair degree of intelligence, much in
dustry and an ability to break away
from old agricultural methods and
substitute newer ways better adapted
to conditions in Montana. California,
Colorado, Arizona and other dry land
states.
This. in brief, was the message de.
livered to large gathering of yell
lowstone county dry-landers by Hardy
w. Campbell. farming expert Of the
Southern Pacific railroad. and widely
known as an exponent Of the dry land
system of farming.
Intelligent farmers endowed with
industry, he declared, can use from
one-fourth to one-half less seed per
acre. and produce bountiful crops,
provided they cultivate properly to
conserve moisture. and plant late ra-
Their than early in the spring.
Campbell's address was delivered
in the assembly room of the CONNER
cial club. It was the first of series
arranged by the agricultural commit
tee Of the organization to bring farm
ers on the rain lands" Of this re-
gion closer into touch with better
methods Of handling their problem.
The address was illustrated by q
large number of stereopticon views.
showing what farmers in other dry
land countries have done and are do
ing. Among the pictures were photo
graphs Of flower gardens blossoming

prairie country Of Kansas. close to
the Colorado line. and wheat. corn
and other farm products in profusion
In sections Of California where the
yearly rainfall is no greater than in
Montana.
Value Of Trees
Mr.. Campbell emphasized the value
Of trees, declaring that many Of the
fruit and ornamental varieties could
be grown in this or any other dry:
land country, II the ground were pro-
perly prepared, and they were given
fair attention after they were set out.
Trees, he declared. made a coun-
try more livable by enhancing its at
Effectiveness and beauty. and served
largely to increase land values.
The last pictures Of the stereopti-
con series were photographs of two
cows. One. he said. produced $50
pounds OF butter in a year; the other
1900 pounds. The difference, he
said, was the result of care and at
tention in the development of dairy
stock.

and intelligence to the development
