DIXON DESCRIBES
N. E. MONTANA TRIP
GOVERNOR SAYS HE NEVER BE.
FORE SAW STATE IN SUCH
GOOD CONDITION
(Helena Correspondence, Great Falls

(Helena Correspondence Great Falls
TrIbune)
| Helena, June Returning We'd
lnesday from a weeks trip through
northern and eastern Montana, where
he delivered several addresses at the
invitation of various county farm bu-
reau organizations. Governor Joseph
M. Dixon said:
During the past two weeks I have
visited and spoken in eight or ten
counties in northern and eastern Mon
tana, mostly at the county farm bu-
'4eau picnics in the agricultural sec
tions.
81 have never before seen the state
looking so well or the people feeling
more hopeful. There is more green
grass on Montana ranges and more
promising outlook for a bumper crop
than have seen since 1916. In fact
nearly every day we had rains of
more or less magnitude. The farm
ing communities are feeling hopeful
and almost buoyant.
Unite Against Pest
'In one or two counties in nor
thern Montana there was some COM
plaint of cutworms, but not gener-
ally. In places I found some rumors
of grasshoppers but with the exper-
ience of the past two years the farm
ers and county agricultural agents,
in connection with boards of
county commissioners; are taking time |
by the forelock and getting ready for
a campaign of gresshopper extermi-
nation at the first sign of the return
ng pest.
"The irrigated sections of the Milk
liver valley are beautiful. Around
Chinook, Harlem and Malta I have
never before seen such crops of al
'a1fa growing. Some of the farmers
ire just beginning to harvest the first
lay crop. The Glasgow Wolf Point
Julbertson country gives promise of
he greatest crop of spring grain in
rears. The lower Yellowstone irri- '
.ated section looks as if it would have
he greatest crop in its history. |
"Last Monday drove overland ,
rom Glendive across the divide be- /
ween the Yellowstone and Missouri :
trough an inland section that had |
ever seen before. Thirty or 40 miles :
ack from the Missouri river found !
of real farmers with big I
ed barns and modern dwellings. This !

astern McCone counties. /

THE GRIDIRON FIELD

Paris High team will make the
journey to Somerset next Friday to
meet the Somerset High School
team. The Pulaski county boys are
reputed to be husky set of grid
iron warriors, but if the Paris
players continue to put up the same
excellent brand of playing that
they showed in the Newport game,
they ought to take Somerset into
camp.
After leading the mighty Centre
College Colonies to 0 in the first
half of their annual foot ball bat
tie, the University of Kentucky
Wildcats Saturday afternoon failed
to keep up the terrific pace. The
Colonies smashed their way across
the Blue and White goal line four
times in the final periods and won
i27 to 3.
The contest was waged before a
gathering of gridiron fans which
overflOwed StOll Field.
The valiant band of Wildcats
played the great Centre team off it's
feet during the first and second
quarters, making seven first downs
to the Danville teams two.
The Paris High School team, in
the game played on Hancock Field
Friday afternoon with the Newport
High School team, proved them
selves an invincible organization,
and justified the faith of their fol-
lowers in the selection of James
Clay Ward as coach. Paris made
two touchdowns and kicked the
goal each time. The touchdowns
were made by Tucker and Capt.
Taylor, while Tucker kicked each of
the goals. Paris in this game dis
played the best team work they
done this season. There were no
bright particular stars in the game,
the whole team playing as one, and
all seemed to be doing their level
best to make the victory a notable
one. And it was, the final score
standing IA 10 0. Anderson, of
Georgetown. refereed the game, with
Arnsparger, umpire, and Link, head

NOVEMBER COURT DAY

Despite the Indictment weather,
which threatened for a time to de-
velope into a taste of winter, there
was a large crowd on the streets.
The rains made farm work a vaca-

vantage of the opportunity to pay a
visit to town" Business was brisk
in the livestock markets, a large
number of mules horses and cattle
changing ownership at fair prices.
Business with the merchants was
reported as being very satisfactory,
and many stores made substantial
additions to their bank accounts.
The redeeming feature about the
day was the entire absence Of pat
ent medicine takers, itinerant street
.evangelists and other leather
lunged shouters.

men from what is considered an en-
tirely trustworthy source that the

7: AEARI@xHOk,>@r.11Ez P}R rob- {

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My husband
has had a friend who has been almost
a brother to him ever since they were
in school together. This friend
comes to our home great deal and
he and my husband have great times
together The friend is not married.
OF course did everything I could
to make the friend feel welcome be-
cause I knew my husband would
want me to. I invited him to din
ner often and when he would come
and my husband was not at the home
would drop what I was doing and
sit down and entertain him.
This has been going on for two
years. Recently it has seemed to
me tlrat the friend has been too deep
ly interested in me, but 1 thought he
merely felt better acquainted. But
the last time my husband was away
from home he came over because he
knew L was alone and he told me
then that he loved me and that he
didn't think he would come any more.
He asked me if I thought he should
tell my husband about his love or if
he should merely stay away and not
give my husband any reason for it.
didn't know what to advise him
and L want your help.
UNCERTAIN
If your husbands friend tells him
the truth, it will hurt him to know
that he stands in the way Of his
friends happiness, but. he will value
the friend all the more because of
his honor. But if the friend merely
stays away he will hurt your husband
deeply. believe 1t Will be better
if he tells the truth and then stays
away. He is right in deciding not
to come any more and neither you nor
your husband should urge him, be-
cause seeing you will only make con-
ditions harder for him.
If more men had his sense of honor
we would have a better world. He
has sacrificed his own desires because
of his loyalty to his friend. I won
der why he didn't confess to your
husband and remain silent to you, but

I @>Dicta and Health
By Lulu Hunt Peters. MD
aATr .zdhor e Diet ,as1f Kep to the Galleries.

Each week average your calories
for the week and record at the bot
tom of the chart, with your loss of
weight side of it. Once or twice
week is often enough to weigh unless
you can do so conveniently every
day.
If you should overeat one day and
gain, then the line will have to go
up, and som etimes you will register a
gain when you have apparently not
overeaten. This is probably due to d
retention of water. I VIII speak more
of that later.
Don't be discoura ged if you occa-
sinally fall from caIoric grace and
gain. AS I have said before, it is bet
ter to have lost and gained than
never to have lost at all You won't
do it often-you won't be able to
stand the hearty dislike you feel for
yourself when you undo In one day
what has taken you three days to 90.
The first month you may lose more
than 10 pounds, After that don't
lose so rapidly. Two pounds a week,
or even less, is better than a large
reduction.
Here is the diagram. I have made
out a sample first week SO you can
see how to do it,
