BIG CROWD AT CARDS

Over a hundred guests were enter
tanned Friday evening at the card So
cial and dance given by the Knights
of Pythias lodge at their hall. the
committee in charge being fairly
swanmped by the big crowd which ar
rived at an early hour for the festiv-
tiles. However, by strenuous exer-
tions, extra tables and a new supply
of tally cards were secured and by
$3.50, 26 tables were in use and whist
games were in-progress- at all EFF

ing a recess was declared to announce
the winners of prizes which were dis
tributed as follows: First lady's prize
was awarded to Mrs. Theo. Knudson
and the first gentleman,s prize to Mr..
Aft johnson. Miss Eleanor Peters
and Mr.. Sivert Stenzholt divided the
doubtful honor of securing the BOBBY
prizes, the latter exhibiting a quart
labeled "Old Grow" which was found
to be a base deception when later
sampled by an innocent reporter. A,
feature of the games was the appear
ance of Harry Woods, a visiting
knight, who made the rounds Of the
with an immense tray of delic-
ious chocolates, his personal contri-
button to the evenings entertainment.
The tables were then brought into
use for the serving of a lunch pre-

Town Boys to Meet Great

teams, and with such players as Will
and George Huber, Bill Fluhr, Nor

to pick a team to represent Belt.
nothing else but a fast, furiously
fought game can be looked for.
For the past several weeks these
fellows have been practicing regularly
and are now handling the ball in their
old-time form, with each one in the
pink of condition, giving assurance
kind of offensive that the Great Falls
players may choose to put up.
At the opening of the game it is
probable that Belt will line up with
the two Huber boys as guards, with
Dolan and Gillette waiting on the
sidelines to be called into the game
at any moment. Fluhr will probably
play center, at least so long as the ref
cree will permit, and then johnson
will be sent in. Bachan and Spogen
will play the forward positions, with
Cossack and Sofia waiting TO be
called. George Stuffed, after consid-
cradle coaxing, has agreed to act as

gether it promises to be a game well
worth seeing.

Wedding Follows Rem
ance of Early Childhood

A childhood friendship treasured
through ID years of separation with
thousands of miles between them. dur
ing which time the adopted country Of
one was at war with the fatherland of
the other, that fatherland ceasing to
exist and becoming an independent
state, as the result of the world war.
came to a happy elimination last Sat
urday morning when Katy Strich of
Spokane became the bride of Matt
Antonich Of Riceville, the ceremony
being performed by Justice of the
Peace p. J.. Shields, and witnessed by
Nick Smovir and Miss Bessie Lane.
The young couple came to Belt
that afternoon and a wedding supper
was served by Mrs. Nick Smovir that
evening at her home, she being a sis
ter of the groom. During the evening
an informal reception was held. many
friends of the groom dropping in to
meet the bride and wish the young
couple much happiness in married
life.
Some IA years ago Matt Anton
ich, at the age of II. left the land of
his birth, that part of Australian
EdlHg Which lOAAONAAk tlt rAtlitc /
treaty became the Jugo Slovenian re-
public, for America, carrying with
him the promise of 12-year old Katy
Strich that she would some time in
the future become his bride. Time
went on, the war interrupted CORE
s~pondence, and for a long time neither
heard from the other. Then came
peace and finally a resumption of
normal mail service to foreign coun-
tries. With his lonesome life on a
homestead in the mountains near
Riceville, a vision of Katy in her COM
ely foreign costume came often to
Matt. A letter was sent to the old
country, came the reply that Katy.
too, had come to America, and then a
to locate her whereabouts.
through mutual friends and
relatives, she-was-leeated living WITH
a brother in Spokane. Matt dispatched
a letter to Spokane, and four months
her arrival in America Katy was
again in correspondence with her be-
trothed. A few exchanges of letters,
carrying sentiments much like those
hat were exchanged as Matt was
about to leave for America, and plans
made for Katy to meet Matt in
Great Falls, with the above happy
outcome.
Mrs. Antonich has been extended a
warm welcome by her country folks of
his section, and she expresses herself
IS liking America very much. They
will make their home on the groom's
anch near Riceville.

Burning the Yule Log

The name given by the ancient
Goths and Saxons to the festival of
the winter solstice was julie, or Yule.
The latter term is still preserved by
the Scotch.
The burning of the Yule log,
known by other names in continental
Europe, was an ancient Christmas
ceremony descending from the Sean
dinavians, who at their feast of julie
used TO k ndle huge bon fires in hon.
or of their god Thor. Similar bon
fires were kindled in Europe, and
elsewhere at the summer solstice.
The English ceremony of bringing
in and burning the Yule log on Christ
mas eve, which still has its local sur
vivals, was full of picturesque detail.
The log was massive pieve of wood,
frequently the rugged and grotesque-
ly marked root of an oak.
1t was drawn in triumph from its
resting place amid shouts and laugh
ter, every wayfayer doffing his hat
as it passed. On its entrance into the
baronial halls, the mipstrels hailed it
with song and music, or in the absence
of the minstrels each member of the
family sat upon it in turn and sang a
Yule song.

ON PLANTING YOUNG TREES

|. The growth made by young
fruit tree first year in the orchard
is more in determining success than
any other year in its history.
2. The soil should be previously
prepared by deep blowing and pull
verizing as carefully as for a seed
bed.
3. If the soil of the orchard is
well prepared, holes to receive the
trees need be only deep and wide
enough to accommodate the natural
spread of the root system. In set
ting replants in an orchard, the
holes should be dug deep and broad
enough to cut back the encroaching
roots of surrounding trees to avoid
competition until the replant is es-
tablished.
4. Medium sized, one year old
trees or well grown June buds are
to be preferred to older trees for
transplanting.
5. The roots Of young trees
should be protected against drying
out, by avoiding unnecessary expo
sure of the root to air in handling.
6. The roots of young trees are
more susceptible than tops to in
jury from cold and should not be
exposed by handling during freezing
them.
z. 1t is better to cut the main
roots to six or eight inches in
length than to leave them long
enough that they may be bent or
kinked in planting.
8. Usually the tree should be
planted no deeper than it stood in
the nursery. New roots start more
promptly where the soil warns first,
near the surface. Most planters set
the trees too deep.
8. Compact the soil firmly about
the main roots to avoid drying out,
but do not bruise the roots in firm
ing the soil about them. Bruised
roots renew growth less readily and
are more subject to infection by
root diseases.
10. Early winter planting while
the trees are fully dormant, is bet
ter than late spring planting when
the buds are starting into growth.
II the planting. must be delayed, the
trees may be kept dormant longer
by removing them from the trench,
turning them over, and again heal
ing them in.

Growers of Vegetables Should
Study Market

Raleigh, Dec. l6.-Many farmers in
North Carolina are now planning to
grow vegetables on commercial
scale, states F. E. Mccall, home
garden specialist Of the Extension
Service. He believes that there will
BE- some failures, because many of the
growers are attempting to grow
specialized crops on too large a scale
at first. Such inquiries as the follow
ing indicate that plans are being made
to grow crops about which neither the
cultural nor marketing questions have
been studied. The following quota
tion is a sample of some of the in
quiries now being received by the Di-
vision Of Horticulture: 81 plan to
grow ten or twenty acres of peppers,
Please tell me how to grow them and
where | can find market" Other
letters of similar nature are re-
ceived with inquiries about celery,
tomatoes, onions, and eggplants.
Mr.. Mccall states that his division
does not want to discourage anyone
from growing vegetables on COM
mercial scale, but he does want the
grower to first familiarize himself
with the habits of the plant, the cul-
tural methods required, the prepara-
ton for market, and the market re-
qurements Of the crop before at
tempting to grow il in a commercial
way. He should also have some knowl-
edge as to possible outlet before
undertaking to grow too large an
acreage at first. The Division of
Horticulture will do all within it's
power to assist any who attempt the
growing of vegetables but the grow
ers must hold their acreages within
those limits which can be advantage
ously handled.

The Word Xmas"

The use of "Xmas" to denote
Christmas, refuses to die out, al
though every sort of attack has been
made upon it. Newspapers church
societies and dictionaries condemn it
but the makers of Christmas cards
and seals go right ahead. 1t began
back in the days of the catacombs
when the Greek letter " was used
to designate the word Christ, it be-
ing the initial letter in the Greek
spelling of the name.
The usage of the abbreviation be-
came more and more popular in Eng
land years afterward when spelling
was not the strong point of the aver
age citizen, and Xmas" mas much
easier to remember than the word of
more letters.
