exchanging some words in their

A Slender Child.
A little girl in a white dress
came swiftly into the room now,
a long-legged, slim child of eleven.
She darted in as though she was
looking for something, and in a
hurry to find it. When she saw
the two Basque women, she
paused, suddenly motipnless, and
gave them a steady inquiring
gaze out of clear dark eyes.
Jeanne stared at her, startled.
The child had thick, black hair,
glossy and straight, a cream-like
skin, and long eyes with arching
eyebrows as black as her hair,
which made a finely-drawn curv-
ing line on her forehead and ran
back at the sides upon her
temples.
Anna noticed the older woman's
surprise and said casually. Eyes,
isn't it queer how the little girl
looks like one of us, a real little
Basque? She seems nice
enough, only with no manners.

Tobacco Culture in Montana.

Martin Webb of the Sinclair creek
neighborhood near Eureka has about
two dozen tobacco plants growing in
his garden this year. A couple of
years ago he attempted to grow some
tobacco merely as an experiment, but
early frosts got the best of it. This
year, however, he hopes to be more
successful and expects to make an
exhibit of the plants at the fair.
Through his residence in the south,
Martin is we'll versed in tobacco Gull
ture and if climatic conditions favor,
has plan whereby he hopes to cure
his crop.
Tobacco valley, originally Tobacco
plains, is supposed to have gotten its
name from the fact that the Jesuit
missionaries who visited this section
in the early days found the Indians
residing on the flats below Gateway
growing tobacco. Hans Norgaard, a
later settler, grew tobacco on his
Zulu Ranch" now owned by Donald
Campbell, and his exhibits at the
county fair always attracted much

U. S. EXPERT TO
STUDY HOPPERS

For the purpose of making an ex-
haustive survey and investigation of
the grasshopper menace in northern
Montana, B. J. Udine, federal assist
ant in the bureau of entomology, is
in Hayre. Mr.. Udine has for several
months been engaged in the same
work in Nebraska, and was assigned
to this area by Stewart Lockwood,
specialist of orthoptera in Billings.
Mr.. Udine will make complete
study of the grasshopper, the china
tic and feed conditions which seem
to be so favorable to this particular
type of locust and determine the best
way to exterminate the pests.
Mr.. Udine says that the assump-
ton taken by many that grasshop-
pers come from Canada is no more
true than the belief that the insects
also go into Canada from this coun-
try. Last year the commissioner of
agriculture of Alberta said that a
vast number of the pests had flown
from Montana as far as the Peace
river country.
eff the farmers will cooperate
with us and use poison systematical-
ly and in sufficient quantities, the
damage to crops by grasshoppers in
northern Montana will be slight"
said Udine. 1.-THE hopper lives from
early spring until the first frost and
the time to start to exterminate them
is when they are Matched. The num-
bers killed then are not so encourage
ing, but the result on the rest of the |
season is greater.
"Grasshoppers can live well on
grass and the range when both are
green, but the sweetness of grain /
seems to draw them to the fields 1
In the next few weeks, a complete |
survey of the northern Montana tri-
angle will be made. This includes
the area bounded by triangle with
Great Falls. Shelby and Havre as
the points"

Ohio Completes Three
Ohio Oil company completed three
wells and has two more ready to tap
the Sunburst sands. Ohio's Sunburst-
Emmert No. 4A, in Sc NE II NV
Il 1882 w. is an excellent produc-
er, though not yet on the pump. The
sand was reached at 1857 and drill
ing continued to 1854, when there
was 700 feet of oil in the hole. A
crew is now running the rods and
it will be on the pump next week.
Two Wells Due
Ohio's Baker No. and Baker No.
s are both in production, the latter
being the better we'll. The No. z
appeared to be dry hole when COM
pleted. Two 40-quart shots of nitro
made it into an oil well, and there
is about 300 feet of fluid in the hole
at the present time. The sand was
reached at 1872. There was five
feet of saturation. The No. came
in a natural producer at 1850 feet.
The Ohio has established record
on the Baker lease, getting produc-
ton in eight consecutive wells. Good
shooting has made wells out of what
would otherwise have been dry holes.
Included in the eight is the largest
we'll in the field, the Baker No. 2,
which flows at the rate of 1000 bar
rels a day when turned loose.
Ohio's Davey No. is drilling be-
low 1900 feet and is due in the Sun
burst sand now. Davey No. 8 is
drilling at around 1875 feet, like
wise due in. These wells will proba-
bly, be completed to the Ellis, though |
the Sunburst is a commercial hori-
zon in the Davey district.

wells in the Bruins No. s. 1t flowed

And the most royal Of them
Ill, the empress of Austria Hun
gary, the youngest and most
lOvable queen Of the Old World,
who is now a homeless refugee in
. neglected corner Of the most
obscure country in Europe.
Empress zita's tragedy has been
greater than that of any living
royal figure. She lost her throne,
she failed in her husbands two
two attempts to recapture the
Hapsburg crown, she lost her be.
loved consort in the prime of his
life, and is left practically with
out means and with a large
family. She Is now forced to
move from her present residence
because the owner of the house
will not permit his royal tenant
to install cookstove or a heat
ing furnace, and her children
needed both.
ONLY 80 YEARS OLD.
Empress Zita is only thirty
years old. She was born in Italy
and is one OF twenty children of
the late Duke Robert Of Parma.
She married the subsequent
Austro- Hungarian Emperor, Arch
duke Charles, in 1911, when only
nineteen years Of age. and bore
him eight children in the course
of the eleven years Of their mar
ried life, so tragically terminated
last year.
Unlike the late Czarina and
Kaieerin, who came from minor
ducal families, Empress Zita halls
from one Of the proudest houses
in Europe. She is a Bourbon,
and is thus related to the reign
Ing family Of Spain.
BY her marriage to Emperor
Charles of Austria-Hungary this
relation became more intimate be-
cause Of the fact that her nus
band was cousin of the
Dowager Queen of Spain, the
mother Of King Alfonso.

position and twenty-four hours of

land one finally in the place.
Lequeitio Is a small fishing vii.
lage located on the beautiful but
sparsely populated and cold coast
of the Bay of Biscay. The sea
has been kind to Lequeitio and
given it, in addition to an abun-
dant supply of fish, an attractive
sandy bathing beach. There is
no hotel or any comforts in the
village, but there is a mansion
belonging to a local nobleman
who prefers to spend his winters
in cheerful Madrid.

In spite of it's recentness and
the widespread and thorough pub
licity given to its spread by the
press, we do not yet fully realize
the awful destructiveness and
deadliness of the late world cpl
demic Of influenza.
Partly because we are still too
close to it. and partly because we
were at the time in the thick OF a
life and death struggle for our
national existence, by the side of
whose bloody casualty lists a few
additional thousands of natural"
deaths scarce stirred our magma
tons.
Close as we were to the influ-
enza, an opening sentence of the
great recent report of the British
ministry Of health upon the world
pandemic will come as something
of a shock to most Of us.
HIGH MORTALITY.
1.-THE epidemics for 191S-1919
rank in mortality not lower than
third, and perhaps second, upon
the roll of great pestilences (of
all history, the only two ranked
above them being the Great
Plague of Justinian and the ter
rible Black Death Of the four
teenth century, from which Europe
did not recover for thirty years"
This sounds Incredible. but
here are a few of the figures.
