Director Alexander Pringle of the Near
East Relief, for forcing Gallatin county
out into an early lead with gifts of
wheat and cash hat will result in say
ing the lives of hundreds of famished
children in the cropless, Near East.
After carrying the appeal of the
Near East to practically every school
in the Gallatin valley, with short talks
to the teachers and pupils, and distri-
buting cards for pledges of aid, this
group of Montana college boys, enthusi-
astic in the new realization of what
their service may mean to humanity,
organized themselves for further serv-

is rallying to the relief of Armenia
and her stricken neighbor countries.

ATTENTION TO
STATE SEED LAW

Attention of Montana dealers in
agricultural seeds, retailers as well
as wholesalers, is called by Commits
sioner Davis of the state department
of agriculture, to the provision of
the act regulating the sale of seed
in this state. Enforcement of the
act, formerly invested in the director
of the experiment station, was trans
ferred to the department of agri-
culture by the last legislature.
Commissioner Davis requests deal
ers to familiarize themselves with the
law at this time, so that when they
purchase this seasons stock of goods
they can protect themselves. In
spectors will call upon dealers later
on to take samples of their stocks
and have them tested for conformity
with the law.
The act covers seeds offered for
sale in pound lots or more, bulk or
package, of the following varieties:
red clover, white clover, alsike clover,
alfalfa, Kentucky blue grass, timo-
thy, bronze grass, orchard grass,
redtop, meadow fescue, oat grass, rye
grass, and other grasses and foreign
corn, fax, rape, wheat, oats,

whats i'm a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; les history; mean
ing; whence it was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky iewel.
EUNICE

TUNICE, like Evangeline, is one of
r. the "glad' names in the lexicon
of feminine cognOmenS. Like
Evangeline also, it comes from the
Greek word meaning well, or happy.
Eunice is translated to les "happy
victory"
Because of it's significance, the
Greek word from which Eunice was
derived, was taken over in early times
by the Christians, who adored names
of happy augury. The names coming
from this favorite word are almost be-
yond enumeration, but curiously, only
a few of them have survived to mod
ern times.
Eunice is one of these latter. 1t
made it's appearance as Eunike n OF
the fifty Nereids. Her name straight
way became popular among Greek
women, but it remained for Eunice,
the Jewish mother of Timothy to give
it vogue in the days of early Chris
tianity. English lovers of Bible
names have favored it for centuries,
and it is still popular in all the u
tries of Europe, though particularly
adapted to English and American
usage

CANDY MANNERS.
Feast of necear ID sweets.-Milton.

Feast of neccar d sweets.-Milton.
TT is a usual question for a young
girl to write asking who should take
the first piece of candy from a box
brought to her by a young a caller
And when you come to think of it
there are a good many puzzling things
involved in the problems connected
with a box of candy.
To begin with, if a nan brings a
girl a box Of candy, she usually opens
it while he is present. She then passes
1t to any other women in the room,
then to the man, and then ,eshe helps
holds it for her to take a piece, she
does so. If the candy comes by mail
or messenger, she opens 1t, of course,
and does not wait until he calls, wen
if she knows who the candy comes
from before opening it, and knows
likewise that the donor is to call.
Perhaps the most important thing to
remember in connection with the good
amer connected with candy is that
the person who always greedily eats
candy and never buys it is very i'll
bred. 1t is the weekend custom for
some men to bring home a box of
candy. In some families there is one
candy-loving member who lies In wait
for the weekly sweets and eats as
many pieces as she can get. She takes

perhaps helps herself between times.
Now it Is quite all right to accept
candy, If you like it, when it is passed.
But you should not eat 0 than your
share, and you should not eat even
this much if you are not in the habit
occasionally of standing treat yourself.
You should, if you have a sweet tooth
and eat other peoples sweets, provide
a box full of your own occasionally.
Candy is one of the gifts that a man
may give a woman-candy, flowers and
books constitute the conventional trio.
Nobody wonders if the donor of a box
Of candy to a girl is thinking of fall
ing in love with her. Candy nova
days is quite the correct and accepted
gift from anybody that can afford it.
And no girl need feel hesitant about
accepting candy in this way. OF course,
If she thinks a man cannot afford it,
Dut buys it for her simply because he
links he ought to, she might suggest
him that he really should not in
lulge her sweet tooth so often. And

There are some girls who
pass a candy store window with
nut casting longing glances at them,
md sometimes even commenting on
heir fondness for candy. No man
hould feel rude in ignoring these
ymptoms.
1t is not necessary to write a note
banking a nan for a gift of candy If
follows the gift shortly with a
all. The thanks should not be for
often, but they may be delivered ver-
ally. (Copyright)

of those who agreed to make the
trip to Culbertson, and it was decid-
ed to add to the list by seeing some

which was their finale excepting the
hearty encore to which they respond

making the evening such a pleasant

THEY R WATCHING ROOSEVELT COUNTY

In a letter, dated at Buffalo a few days ago, Senator
B. G. White, who recently spoke here on Taxation, shows
gathered data concerning the Indebtedness Of Roosevelt
county the day he was here, and used it in his talks at
Poplar and here.
There was a marked lack of enthusiasm over the fig
ures at Poplar. Over there they knew all about them
before and have them constantly on their minds. But
at Wolf Point the statistics were learned with surprise
and CONSERVATION. They brought a fuller realization of
the possibilities of politics, when followed as a regular
business and efficiently managed by a competent boss.
In his letter Senator White says:
"Have your people in Roosevelt County
gone forward to organize a County Tax
payers League? From investigating the fl
nancial condition of your county l judge
you will need some of the best business
brains that you have in the county to take
hold of your county affairs and put your
county in better financial condition. | can
see no way out of meeting your outstand-
ing warrants of 1924, 100000 except another
bond issue at a high rate of interest"
Here is a fine job for the Tax association to tackle as
a starter.

a starter.

The purchase of the American
Brass company by the Anaconda
company is probably only one of the
instances where impelling forces are
introducing a situation into indus
try. That's where the West begins
turning its of raw mater
ials into the finished products of
commerce. The movement started
SOM years ago in the manufacture
of flour in Montana and blankets in
Utah and Oregon. Business condi-
tions interrupted. High costs of
transportation and large western mar
kets have given and we are giving
new life to the tendency. There
are other natural elements working.
In a passing industrial review at
tention is directed to the fact that
the world consumption of oil has
reached 700, 10000 0 barrels and ex-
perts say that this will go to 1,OOO,-
100000 barrels in five years. While
other nations are struggling to cor
ner the oil supplies of the world,
the fact remains that our country
supplies 70 per cent of the total.
Capital by the millions each month
is searching for new oil wells in all
the possible producing territory
from Alaska to Mexico.
The West also has 80 per cent of
the potential hydro-electrical energy
of the world and capital is turning
more and more attention to that.
The west has riches in natural re-
sources of timber, oil, mines and I'M
developed agricultural lands reach
ing into hundreds of millions.
Who is so blind he cannot see the
west is to have the future wealth
and manufacturing power of the
country?
With numbering, irrigation, power
development, shipping, sugar fac
tories, precious metals, potash, fish
cries, fruit growing, stock raising,
and agriculture gong forward, who
can over-estimate the of
the west?
There is no state to which com
ment of this kind applies more tho
roughly than to Montana. If the
whole trans-Mississippi country will
strive to produce and save we need
not worry about prosperity.

SANTA CLAUS WINS
The 0peretta, Trial of Santa Claus"
as Presented by Heppner Grammar
School, Well Received by Large
Audience.

Just about seventy pupils of the
Heppner grammar school composed
the east Of characters and made up
the choruses for the presentation Of
the operetta, "The Trial of Santa
Claus" at the high school auditor
ium on last Thursday evening, and
the pupils were encouraged by very
fine audience, who in return were en-
tertained splendidly by the fine pres
entation of the seasonable playlet.
The operetta was put on under the
direction of Mrs. Hopper, head of the
musical department of the school,
who was ably assisted by Misses
Gladys Turner and Blanche Fahy
and Miss Bernice Woodson as ac-
eompanist.

The manner in which the entire
program was carried out Is evidence
of the fact that the children were all
we'll trained, and each performed the
part assigned to perfection, there be-
ing no hesitancy and the little folks
putting into the play the necessary
action to give 1t character, 1t would
be impossible to single out all the
characters for special mention, but
we are sure that nothing of this ma
ture has heretofore been presented
that gave greater satisfaction to
audience and those who had the train
ing Of the children in charge. The
operetta can be pronounced com
plete success. The proceeds amount
ed to better than $140.
