VIRGINIA EDITOR FIRST
WHITE CHILD IN BENTON

Many interesting things have come
up in connection with the 1922 meet
ing Of the N. E. A. to be held at
Missoula. Way down in Virginia, we
have found in A. X. Clevenger, editor
of the Herald at Claremont and vice
president of the N. f. A. for that
state, the first white child born at
Fort Benton, Chouteau county. Mr..
Clevenger is greatly interested in this
years trip and expects to go back
home truly convinced that a few
weeks spent out "where the west be-
gins" will enable him to return home
with added pep and energy.
Another publisher, w. B. R. Mason,
of Bound Brook, New Jersey, is also
especially interested because of hav-
ing a son aiving in the Flathead val
ley, some 60 miles from Missoula. Mr..
Mason will find the environment of
the west especially pleasing in the
section he desires to visit, and a real
treat in the boat trip across Flat
head Lake from Poison to Somers.

rotary of the state bureau of child

rooming house. She told a woman ir
the building that she was going tc
visit relatives in Wyoming. She SAIL
goodbye to this woman and left with
the baby for the station. When the

ported, this woman on hearing the
account, went to the Children's home
and identified the child.-Record-

HOW A SAFE MILK SUPPLY
is INSURED FOR SMALL CITIES

Milk inspection is of prime necess-
ity. In most of the larger cities la
boratories are maintained where bac-
terra counts and chemical analyses
are frequently made on samples col.
lected from retail delivery wagons
stores, and restaurants. But the small
cities and town that ear not afford the
expense of a tester and laboratory
find it hard to give proper supervis-
ion to their milk supplies.
The United State Department OF
Agriculture suggests that a practical
way for such cities and towns to in

cooperation of two or more adjacent

of supervising such a plan may be
prorated among the different towns
on the basis of population without the

in work of this sort.
This plan of town cooperation in
