A REAL WINTER

A farmer in town last week making inquiries for hay called
attention to the fact that the present winter is approaching a rec
ord for a long feeding season. The past tive weeks have brought
to mind quite forcibly that Montana lies between 45 and 40 degrees
of north latitude and that she can upon occasion deliver a very
fair sample of real winter. As a continuous performance, the
weather of the two weeks just past has been quite successful in
maintaining an equable and well balanced standard well below the
zero mark, and in consequence the family coal pile and the farm
ers haystacks have diminished very rapidly and in some cases
completely. AS we say of nearly all of Montana's weather, it is
very unusual, and let it go at that.
Without question, there is probably more snow in the high
mountain ranges than for several years past and this is generally
regarded as good news to the agricultural interests. 1t means
plenty of water in the streams for the coming irrigation season
and indicates also plenty of summer feed for stock in the feethiH
pastures. Deep SHOWS melting on the mountain ranges are also
said to produce an excess of moisture in the air that is apt to
fall i'm the plains country which, If true, promises well for the
farmer during the coming season.
The winter has been long and tiresome. but the weather man
knows his business better than we do and we will leave IL up to

for many of the things they have to sell and lower prices for the
things they must buy.
Mr.. Mccormack, whose company operates "a banks in Inland
Empire communities and who has been IN close touch with country
banks and wheat growers for IS years, said: "A well run, safe and
conservative bank is a blessing to any community and everyone
in it. while a poorly run, inefficient, selfish, overexpanded bank
which encourages speculation and overexpanson in it's community
is a menace and an injury to everyone"
Showing the full part that banks are taking in community
development and the load which they are carrying for farmers
and producers generally, Mr.. Mccormack pointed out that the
country banks with which he is connected have about 100000 900
out in loans of which 80 per cent is due to the bank from producers
while the bulk of the remaining 20 per cent is due from country
who are carrying producers to the limit. This ratio,
he believes, will hold good with other country banks.
Mr.. McCornacks statement of conditions refutes the wild
charges that are made that the American banking susten has
crushing the life out of the farmer by forcing a sale of crops
at ruinous prices. If it were not for our banking system which
has carried the producers load to the limit of its ability, crops
would have been dumped" in a manner which would have com
pletely shattered any market stability.

nGihart Man Must
Pay Wife AIimony

Payment of $40 monthly alimony, on
the first of each month, until further
order of the court, and payment of $50
attorney fees, to be paid before April
/, was ordered Friday by Judge j. b.
Leslie in the divorce action of Alvina
Davis against William Davis, residents
of Nehart. Mrs Davis, who charged
her husband with extereme cruelty,
asked fir s75 monthly alimony, 800
counsel fees and other costs. The ali
mony which Davis must pay will be
used for the support Of Mrs. Davis and
two minor children.
Davis. in an affidavit asking for
the dismissal Of his wife's petition for
alimony and counsel fees, alleged that
Mrs. Davis left their home September
Is, 1921, without his consent and
knowledge, and attempted to keep her
whereabouts unknown by assuming a
fictitious name. He said he later
found her living at the Daily hotel.

repeatedly tried to see his wife, but
each time was told by the landlady
that she was not registered there. At

he alleged, he pursuaded her to return
to Neihart. He took her baggage to
the railway station and when he re-
turned TO get Mrs. Davis. he alleged
that the landlady had concealed her in
another room and refused to admit
him to the place. The landlady finally
told him, it is alleged, that she would
shoot him if he ever came to the room
ing house again.
Davis charges that a sister of his
wife and her mother have conspired
to ruin his married life and to destroy
his happiness. They repeatedly tried
to pursuade his wife to leave him, he
alleged, and once his HsetheF-iR-4aw
threatened to take his life. Davis
charged that his wife in May, 1921,
tried to poison him with s%trychnine
and during several fits of anger, said
and did uncomplimentary things to
him. He denied that he was cruel to
his wife, denying particularly the al
legation of his wife that he had said
he hoped a horse would kick the brains
of one of his children all owe the
yard.

MUST PUBLISH THE "BANNS"
Law Of Great Britain Has Come
Down From the Earliest His
tory Of the Country.

The word "bann" Is derived from the
early Saxon and means to proclaim"
In the very early days simple declar-
alton Of marriage, either with or with
out witnesses was considered valid /;
but this system led to so many abuses
that in the year 1915 a council of tile
church laid it down that wedding
should only be soIemnized after due
notice had been given in the church
for three successive Sundays. This
was, Of course, to inform the church
of the intentions Of its members, and to
guard against abuses. In Puritan days
additional publicity was often given to
an impending marriage by the crying
of the banns in the public market
place. It is now the law Of Great
Britain-apart from church discipline
that banns must be published for
all marriages contracted In Church Of
England, although the archbishop may
dispense banns by special license: It
is interesting to note that the Saxon
word which gives us "banns' also
gives us ban, Danish and bandit, mean
ing to proclaim an outlaw The H.
.censes issued by Canadian provincial
authorities are really dispensations
from the publishing Of the banns-

CANOES MADE BY MACHINERY
Engraving, Such as Was Common IN
the Earlier Ages, Has Practically
Become Lost Art.

The engraving Of canoes has prac-
tically ceased to be pursued as an art.
Roman manufacturers cut stones IN
large quantities to be used as scarf
studs and AZ settings in finger rings {;
and In Rome and Paris an extensive
trade IS carried on in the cutting Of
shell canoes, which are largely export
ed into England ; and mounted IN
brooches.
The principal shell used IS the large
bull's mouth she'll. found in East In.
dian seas, which has a sard-like I'M
derlayer. The black helmet of NADIA:
gascar and the pinky queens conch OF
the West indies are also used.
J The famous potter, josiah, Wedg-
wood, introduced a method Of making
limitations 81 canoes in pottery by
producing white figures on colored
ground, this constituting the peculiar.
ity Of what Is known as Wedgwood
ware. These cheap canoes are large.
" machine made, or are turned out
by rough workmen and touched up
by the better type of artists. In some
cases these canoes are made OF stone'
such as comedian, sardonyx and cor
al, but rone Of them are OF high
type Of art.

=. Hafdy,s Emotional Art.

Thomas Hardy is in the great tradi-
ton, not Of the romantic nor of any
specific school,, but Of poetry per Sc,
in that he gives US the causes of emo
ton rather than his Individual emo
tons. and by that means makes US
share them. In him, Is the very soul
Of his verse, one feels shyness, al
most an unwillIngness Of emotion,
which causes him to avoid the obvious
beauties of verse, instfnctively rather
than on any conscious esthetic prin.
ciple. He likes to- write about an
incident which has caused him to feel
rather than about the feelings it has
aroused; and his effort is to draw the
incident in its essence and particu-
larity. Through long, intense and
patient effort he has become master
Of SUCH drawing; he can give the
character Of an incident as Rem
brandt can give the character OF a
person, in q few strokes Of extreme
precision and enforced emphasis, so
that we have both the relish Of fact
and the beauty of art.-Current

EskIM0S CLEANLY IN HABITS
Missionary Puts ouietus on Story
Which Has Been in Circulation
y Manv YeaH4

The "long-standing libeE that the Els
kinso objects to soap deserves to be
corrected in the interests Of TRUTH" ac-
cording to reports from Rev. William
A. Thomas, Episcopal missionary
among the Tigaras at Point Hope,
Alaska. Point Hope is about 300 miles
north Of the Arctic circle. Mr.. Thomas
and his wife are the only white resi-
dents Of the settlement. q,
'"The Eskimo must keep clean to
stand the rigors of the climate Rev.
erend Thomas says. 1.-THE application
Of anything that might close up the
pores of the skin and prevent the free
circulation OF the blood is the quick
est way to have the face frozen. If
the Eskimo used seal oil or whale oil
or any Of the other. lotions which he
is charged with preferring to soap, he
couldn't stand the bitter cold Of the
Arctic climate. "
"As matter Of fact, the Eskimo
uses a whole lot Of soap. Also, like
the red Indian, they pull the hair from
their faces by the roots that their
faces may be kept clean. ::
II am speaking OF the Eskimo at
home, in his native igloo or hut. This
igloo is not necessarily the unclean
dugout Of snow which it Is sometimes
depicted. The snow igloo is tenn
porary affair built for overnight shell
ter. The igloo in the native communi-
ties is a neat, compact affair.""

Fl r. 81. Salt water.

"Water, water, everywhere, nor any
drop to drink" is Coleridge's poetic
phrasing of a cry that has come from
the lips Of the victims of a ship
wreck ever since the first navigate
Of the sea. # the water Of the ocean
were drinkable, not only would an
enormous outlay be spared to, ship
owners, but one Of. the greatest hor-
rorss Of, shipwreck would be abolished.
Not long ago, It is reported, a method
was discovered abroad whereby sea
water can be made flt to drink. The
water is forced under pressure through
a filter consisting Of the trunk of a
tree about fifteen feet long. The. wa
ter is driven lengthwise through the
pores Of the wood. and in three min
utes, at the longest, issues from the
end of the trunk in thin streams, and
Is found to be free from salt and
suitable for drinking.

ter time that the merchants
outside of the larger cities can sell
much cheaper than the big depart
ment stores because of the difference
in rents and items of such character
that make up overhead expense and
which must be added to the price
of goods if merchant is to make
any profit whatever.
The merchants here are trying in
every way to get the trade that
belongs to Bemidji, because
every dollar sent out of the COM
benefits only the place to
which it is sent and never returns
in any shape or manner to help in
building up our own city.
