MUNICIPAL SWIMMING POOLS

Havre.-Actual construction work
on a new municipal swimming pool
will begin Immediately, according to
the decision of the city council at a
special meeting yesterday afternoon.
The estimated cost of the pool is
about $4,000. 1t will be built of re-
inforced concrete and will be 100
feet in length and 40 feet wide, in
the shape of an oval. 1t will be en-
closed with an iron railing and a
board fence. Spring boards will be
installed on the deep end which will
be seven and a half feet deep and
slope up to the shallow end, two feet
deep.
Harlowtown.-A municipal swim
ming pool is being installed here at a
cost of at least $1,000. The project

HONOR SYSTEM
PROVES SATISFACTORY

The county assessors office is to
be commended for the prompt and
efficient manner in which the annual
work of assessment was completed
this year. 1t was completed on time
this year., which is something rather
unusual.
AS is well known, the honor system
of making the assessment was adopt
ed last spring and it has proven very
satisfactory. Each taxpayer was ask
ed to fill out his own assessment
blank and mail it to the assessors
office and the result has been very
satisfactory, and the most important
feature of the honor system is the
saving it has been to the county. 1t
can safely be said that better than
two thousand dollars was saved by
adopting this system and eliminating
the field men.
A pamphlet is now being printed
which will give each mans assess
ment as he has given it in. The copy
for the pamphlet was turned over to
the Banner a couple of days ago and
will be printed and distributed to
each taxpayer as quickly as it will
possible to do so.-Circle Banner.

My Dear Mrs. Jepson:

My Dear Mrs. Jepson:
| feel that | am really imposing to ask the favors of
you that | must, as our acquaintance has not been init
mate. But since most of the articles / am asking you to
buy for us are advertised by the Leader, and your husband
is employed there, you can turn the order over to him.
Just give him the enclosed advertisement, clipped from
The Herald. The items and quantities wanted are marked
on the ad. The prices are certainly the best I have ever
seen since before everything took the aviation notion. 1t
is a pleasure to trade with firms that advertise what they
have and put a price on it.
You will find another clipping from an ad in last
weeks Herald with certain items checked. If you will be
SO kind as to go there and buy them for US it will be truly
appreciated. / could have sent the order direct to the
store but there are some articles that | would like to have
you select with reference to the nOtations on ad. If Mr..
j. will get the two orders together one of Dixs grain haul
ers will call for them Saturday afternoon. It is almost i'm
possible for me to take a day to come to town this week,
and cousin Bill Harkers wife, who often does shopping
for us, is out here helping me with my canning and drying.
Bill is here too, perhaps you know, helping John with the
harvest and stacking. The hard, hot work nearly killed
him at first, and he missed his town pals and the solo
games, but now he is all enthusiasm and talks of renting
the land just east of us next year. And Julia, poor soul, is
tickled to death with the idea. She says Bill don't make
common day wages since times got so bad, and that they
are gradually getting into debt. | suppose this is gossip,
but she says everybody in town knows it. l tell you we
have learned a lot about town peoples troubles since Bill
and Julia have been out here.
John and | are hoping we can manage to get a small
house and move to the Point for the winter after about
Nov. 1t, SO as to have Sidney and Vera with us part of the
school year. Besides we would really like to get better
acquainted in town. We hope to see a lot Of town folks
out to our Community Fair. Thanking you in anticipation
of the above favors, I am,
Cordially yours,

EGG REGULATIONS
FOR MONTANA

(Sent by the division of Labor anc
Publicity of the Department Of Ag5i-
culture, Labor and Industry
Helena, August 13.-Any purchas
er or of eggs in Montana
who gets eggs of poor quality, has
the power in his own hands to remedy
matters. If he gets eggs of poor
qr3lity, it is almost certain that the
seller of the eggs has violated the
very stringent law enacted last win
ter by the Legislature, regulating Ike
sale and labelling of eggs in the state.
In an opinion to the Department of
Agriculture, Labor and Industry, At
torney General w. d. Rankin holds
that while health officers are espec-
ALLY charged with the enforcement
of the egg marketing law, Section
9033 of the Revised Codes "expres-
sly gives a private citizen the right
and makes it his duty to swear to a
complain for any violation of the law,
and the mere fact that someone is
especially charged with the duty of
enforcing "a certain law does not af-
feet the foregoing provision" He
further advises the Department of
Agriculture that it is the duty of
county attorneys to prosecute COM
plants of violations of the egg law.
Section five of the g law pro-
vides that every person buying or
selling eggs within the state before
offering any eggs for sale shall can
die the same, and any eggs found to
be unfit for food shall not be offered
for sale for food purposes"
Eggs imported into Montana from
foreign countries must be sold as
such. The case or container in which
they are shipped must have the words
foreign eggs displayed in letters
two inches high. Retailers can only
sell such eggs from the container in
which he received them and he must
inform each purchaser that the eggs
were imported from a foreign coun-
try. Further, all restaurants, hotels,
bakeries and other places using such
eggs must have a sign not less than
four inches high, displayed in a con-
place, reading: eve use
foreign eggs"
The law also provides that nc firm
or person shall sell, agree to sell, or
advertise for sale, any cold storage
or preserved eggs without making
the fact known to the prospective
purchaser that the eggs are of the
storage or preserved variety. All
boxes or other receptacles in which
cold storage or preserved eggs are
displayed for sale, sold or delivered
shall be marked or lettered in a con-
spicious manner with the words "Cold
Storage Eggs or Preserved Eggs"
The penalty for the first offense is
a fine of not less than $25 nor more
than S75; for the second o~ffense, a
fine of not less than $50 nor more
han $500; and for the third and sub
sequent offenses, a fine of not less
han 500 and Imprisonment of not
ess than 80 days nor more than 80 /;

Gloves and hosiery are two items
of expense in dress that swell the
account unless closely watched and
guarded against in several ways. For
instance the drawing on and off of
gloves three or four times day

VALUABLE HINTS ON BUYING AND
CARING FOR GLOVES AND HOSIERY

the perspiration-proof glove is the
same as for the ordinary dressed kid.
1t is Of fine elastic quality and wears
well.
soft and pretty They clean well in
the hands of professional cleaners,
but because of their light weight
they have no great wearing qualities.
White doeskin gloves have taken
their place. They are only slightly
in texture The doeskin glove is
easily washed with cold or lukewarm
water and white soap. The rlnsing
water should contain soap and be OF
the same temperature as the washlng
water. The gloves should be dried
slowly and not by artificial heat; Just
before they are quite dry they should
be gently but firmly drawn through
the fingers to prevent them from
stiffening. If they do stiffen, as
sometimes happens, they should be
rubbed between the palms OF the
chamois. Chamois gloves are heavier
than doeskin. but less expensive.
Their wearing qualities are not as
good. Both chamois and chamolsette
gloves should be cleaned in cold soapy
water. or not warmer than tepid
water.
The Silk Glove.
The silk glove is a favorite. prin-
cipally because it is supposed to be
less expensive than the kid glove.
The initial expense may be less. but
its life is not more than half as long
as that of the doeskin or the chamois
glove, and it is never as modish.
Lisle and cotton gloves are usually
worn as matter of economy. The
chamoisette glove is good imitation
of the doeskin, has excellent wearing
qualities, and is no more expensive
than ordinary Isle or cotton, and is
less expensive than silk.
When buying long gloves the fol-
lowing suggestions will be helpful:
If your arm is plump, see if the
glove stretches at the top; if it does,
it will be comfortable. Six pairs of
gloves are usually cut from one skin;
several are cut straight with the
grain. and these gloves will not
stretch: they will fit a woman with
a small hand and slender wrist
Those that are cut in the opposite
direction may be easily detected by
stretching the glove top. Have both
gloves fitted to the hands and but
toned or clasped. for if the gloves
will not stretch when fitted around
the wrist they will tear. Always test
the elasticity of several pairs be-
fore you make final choice.
