TILLAGE MOVEMENT MOST
IMPORTANT IN HISTORY OF STATE

The good news of Montana's united
effort to make this state the first
Northwestern state to come back, is
attracting wide and favorable atten-
ton among investors outside the state,
The statewide summer tillage move
ment and the effort of business men,
as well as farmers, to assist in the
promotion of better farming methods
and the encouragement of diversi-
fled agriculture is the most convinc-
ing argument that prosperity is soon
to come, say Eastern publications.
The most extensive article covering
this subject is that carried in the
Northwestern National Bank Review.
a publication issued by the second
largest bank in Minneapolis, comment
ing upon this situation. This con-
sentative publication devotes nearly
six columns of it's last issue to dis
cussing the plan as it is being worked
out in the state, and the probable re-
suits which would come from it. The
article says in part: " 1t is an in
spring thing to see a great move
ment sweep a state when that move
ment is a forward looking one and is
designed for the common good"
1t sketches briefly Montana's agri-
cultural history, commenting on the
wonderful array of prizes won at the
San Francisco Fair; it comments then
on the drought years which have fol-
lowed, but states that Montana peo-
pie are determined to meet this sit
uation in an effective way. 1t says,
1T has not been the Montana land that
has given disappointing results, as
many of u Montana friends have
pointed out, but the methods comon.

ously by the Montana Development
Association"
"Dry land farming such as is be-
ing advocated has been used in other
sections and in other countries. 1t is
followed to good purpose in the Pa
louise country, California, Utah, in
parts of Canada, and even in Egypt.
1t is by no means new in Montana
"The purpose of summer tillage
briefly stated, is to defeat drought
and to increase crop production. 1t
is a system of blowing, discing, sub
surface packing, and cultivation. all

tablish a seed bed and create a con.

is to form a surface mulch which holds

states that summer tillers in all parts
of the state have been successful ever
in the worst years. 1t quotes one OF
Montana's large investors as saying

RED CROSS NOTES

There is on exhibition at the Glas-
gov Public Library this week a col
lection Of charcoal drawings and color
sketches by Miss Anna Milo Upjohn,
an American artist and member of the
National Association of Women Paint
ers and Sculptors. The exhibition is
held under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Red Cross which commissioned
Miss Upjohn to visit these countries
in Europe where the Junior American
Red Cross is at work, to draw types
of children who are the beneficiaries
of the loving, unselfish work of the
school children of America.
In turn Jul children are acquiring
an intelligent understanding of those
far-away children. The drawings por-
tray child-life in Albania, Czecho-Slo-
vakia, France, Greece, Italy, Monte
negro, Roumania and Serbia. During
the World War, Miss Upjohn was a
volunteer worker for the American
Red Cross and a part of her work in
that connection was the making of a
series of health posters for the Red
Cross Children's Bureau. Her posters
carried so strong and clear a message
that in 1919 she was engaged to do
a series of sketches for the Junior
American Red Cross and the drawings
now being exhibited are the result of
that commission.
Miss Upjohn's drawings, although
done under the most unfavorable con-
ditions and at great personal hardship,
as she toured the war-torn countries,
reflect the great sympathy of the ar
lists with her little subjects and her
thorough understanding of them.

Did You Ever Own a Dog?

An editor of the Albany (Ala.)

to his dog:

ever w a dog? If so, you can I'M

tide of the Mississippi river; to change
the purse Of the wind at will; to stop
the songs of the birds, or cause the
blooming flowers to close their petals,

from the average boy. The dog was
his friend; and as such shared with
him everything he possessed. He may
not have been worth a cent, but he
would bark for him, run for him, wag
his tail at every nod and beck of his
youthful master; happy with him if

Intelligent Horse Made Her Way for
Many Miles to Quarters Which
She Preferred,

My father was very fond of horses
n owned several good ones. One
which l remember particularly was a
beautiful, gentle black horse-a PAGER,
which he named "Blackie." He was
very fond Of her, as well as she Of
him. He allowed no one to abuse her
n always took the best care Of her.
She was petted and loved and given as
much care as a child. She was n Of
my fathers favorite horses and was
the mother Of one fine colt, of whom
she was indeed proud.
At n time she was ill and my
father sent her out to a pasture in
the country. One dark December night
a cold north wind blew and a light
snow was falling. About midnight
my father was aroused from his sleep
by a strange noise. Did a horse whin-
ny? Now he heard the u~nmistakable
whinny of a horse, at which he arose
n went out into the night. There,
upon the front lawn, to his astonish-
ment stood Blackie, who, hearing his
approach, came to meet him. She
nestled her head .a~ffectionately against
his shoulder, and whinnied, as much
as to say, II was cold and came home.
