HE CAN'T LIVE WITH
 OR WITHOUT HER
By SOPHIE IRENE LoER

The other day a man appeared be- fore a judge and vainly begged to be sent to the penitentiary in order to get away from his wife
 The judge, however, gave him sus- pended sentence and now it appears that he is so anxious to be with his wife that he has annoyed her and therefore has been rearrested, and is to have mental examination.
 Whether this man is mentally de- ranged or not is beside the question The instance, however, is worth while reflecting upon. since there are many people like him. The same holds good with women.
 There are wives who are miserable with their husbands, and unhappy without them-a phase of human nature.
 The big trouble is that they do not know how to keep peace Peace to each party in such case means getting ones own way. And each wants his own way at the same time.
 AS wise soul has said, the only possibility for peace in the home is when only one gets mad at a time."
 l have heard women say. T love him and hate him at the same time" And they mean 1t. The reason of their complicated feelings is the fact that they are uncompromisins.
 Real love, after all, Is constant compromise. When love is mutual it is not unwilling to sacrifice times without number, and most often the sacrifice is a pleasure rather than a pain.
 The difficulty with such cases as the one mentioned is that this man may really love his wife-she may be very attractive to him ip many ways-yet she may have some gigan- tic fault such as everlasting nag Eing, or some such shortcomihg.
 In her mom ents of distress and anger she may feel so miserable toward him as to hate him. and then in her finer and more sane periods the longing for him comes: all his good qualities arise in her mind and she wants him back.
 The same thing happens with man. Now these people can conform to one policy--some ething that may be cul- tivated. This is the ability to give in" For no quarrel in the world has ever been settled unless one or the other or both decided to "drop it.
 How much more delightful, then, it is when both can develop such d habit so that when any difficulty dtiSeS TOT one or the OIner 10 call quits" as soon as possible.
 Many mountain or woe has been built up on a molehill of grievance, which could ha, e been settled in five minutes if either of the parties had learned the greatest wisdom in life that of Sivo and take.
 After all, few people realize that one can have only the average amount of happiness, the average amount of having ones own way, the average amount of being right.
 You cant be happy all the time nor can you be right all the time. Therefore. if you make it your bust ness some of the time to let the other party have a chance at winning his point. you gai" the chance of avoid ing trouble.
 Avoiding trouble-there is the big gest asset of the human game, espe- cially in the marriage relationship.
 Many couples love would be more constant if each would rac- tice enough patience to bear little when some foolish bubble bursts.

these friends of hoof and horn and
feather and claw. They are a part of
the great national heritage of the
West and one can not feel but that
when they are gone, as inevitably
they must go, a good deal of the
glamour of this-their last place of
refuge, will go with them.
All these inter-mountain states
have made legislative provision for
the protection of Jul wild life, but
their fate is the fate of all aboriginal
things. They give way to the neces-
stiles and expediencies of what we
are pleased to call civilization.
/ am impe1led to close this ram
bling dissertation with an appeal in
behalf of my friends of the wilds.
Don't kill except for food No animal
that now roams the North American
continent needs to be killed in self
defense, for not even a rattlesnake,
a cougar or a grizzly will attack mar
unless his own life IT that of his
young is in peril. Perhaps / should
except the coyote and the wolf-those
skulking jackals Of the night, but
for my part / believe that every true
sportsman will at some time in his
career take greater pleasure in see-
ing the wild life of the Rockies In
their native haunts than behind the
bars Of a zoo or, gIass-eyed and stiff,
the musty sbelyes OF a museum.

1.-THE average capital of the farm
er-settlers, upon arrival in Montana
was only $3.50 plus no farming ex
~perience in the case of approximately
70 per cent of them.
Specific Methods
"In practically all instances the
farmers who had failed had followed
La one-crop system-depending on
wheat alone-and had not employed
either careful or correct methods OF
tillage and cultivation.
Gin practically all instances the
farmers who had succeeded were
those who had practiced diversified
farming-growing wheat, corn, live
stock, poultry and garden produce
and had used proper methods, nota-
bly summer tiIlage. These farmers
had harvested nearly normal wheat
yields.
"For. 20 years, despite the slipshod
methods of farming widely followed,
there was not a single crop failure in
the non-irrigated districts of Mon
tana and only one year of what might
be termed a partial failure.
Farming has been established up
on a permanently successful founda-
ton in many districts whose soil is
no better than that of Montana and
where the precipitation is not over
10 to IA inches. Montana's non-irri-
gated farming districts have an aver
age precipitation of over IA inches,
which normally comes at times when
is of maximum benefit to crops.
1.-THE man who practices diversi-
fled farming and who follows meth
DDS of demonstrated worth will be
successful-is bound to be successful.
The mar who has done so has been
successful. The failures are not in
any sense an indictment of Montana;
they are chargeable to a combination
Of inexperienced men, insufficient
improper farming. All the
evidence proves that there need never
be a crop failure in Montana. The

md methods-not Montana"
In conclusion, MI. Gail urged his
hearers to continue to boost Mon
ana. He asked that better condi-
ions be boosted and talked and an
optimistic strain adopted in business
ind personal letters to tell the
of Montana's best.

Skeleton May Solve Mystery

While James Wood of Springdale
was traversing a cou1ee about two
miles northeast of that place, he
stumbled upon the skeleton of a
man. He Immediately reported to
the authorities, and the bones were
viewed by the coroner and later
taken to Big Timber to await iden-
LITIGATION, if that is possible.
The skeleton is supposed by local
officers to be that of H. c. Sheetz of
Chicago, a retired civil engineer, who
disappeared from a Northern Pacific
passenger train near Big Timber on
June IL, 1922, while en- route to
Yakima, Wash, with his daughter.
Sheetz, who was 80 years of age and
whose mental condition had been af-
fected by illness, was supposed to
left the train when it stopped
at Big Timber.

CEREALS
FOR
CALORIES
BY Elizabeth Ha1lam BONN,

Never has there been a time whe1
people generally have shown greater
interest in the right kinds of foot
than the present. Such posters as

cries. greet the eye of the consumer
in public places constantly, while
food experts are daily giving US new
and valuable information about the
things we eat.
1t is probably safe TO say, even
with this growing interest in the
food problem, that the majority OF
consumers buy food because it is pa
latable rather than because of any
definite idea as to it's nutritive value.
If we were more willing to accept
the scientific findings of nutrition
experts, we would save both our di-
gestion and our dollars.
History shows that cereals have
always played an important part in
the diet of all nations. With the adj
vance of civilization, Natures golden
grains have been manufactured into
highly concentrated products which
furnish the materials to build body
tissue and to supply energy for work
or play. Cereals in the form of
breakfast foods should have a place
in the family menu at least once a
day.
Breakfast cereals are available on
the market in uncooked and ready
to-eat' varieties. Owing to the ne
cessary trouble and time required to
prepare uncooked cereals, the ready
to-eat'' types are finding a wider use
in the home. Indeed, the latter are
not only popular on the breakfast
table, but they a be combined with
other foods to make all sorts of
tempting dishes for the other meals
of the day. Some one has suggested
that Grape-Nuts, unique as a cereal,
can be used from soup to nuts. 1t
is interesting to know that cooking
experts have found this wholesome
cereal can be substituted to advant-
age for bread in almost any of those
dishes in which bread was always
supposed to be necessary.
Grape-Nuts, which contains the
rich food value of matted barley and
wheat, is so thoroughly baked that
practically all of the nutriment is
easily digested and the flavor of the
is developed.
Vitamin-B and mineral elements
so necessary for the health of every
member of the family, and lacking
in so many "~over-refined" foods, are
supplied in this f~ull-flavored and
strength-giving cereal. The complete

Big Wheat Yield in North

Crops in the area north of Havre

and if there is no hail and the hop
pers can be checked, the grain yield
should average 35 bushels to the acre,
according to reports.
About half of the fields damaged

crop, it is said. While the pests have
ravaged fields in spots, the damage
north of Havre is not nearly so heavy
as in the western section of the
county.
South of Havre crops are better
than since 1912. Estimates are farm
ers will market more wheat than they
did last year. They are hopeful, too,
of realizing a better price for their

Floats double, swan and shadow

They are gone. The gasoline boat,
the pump-gun and the ruthless game
hog have made them almost extinct.
Only a few years ago I saw on the
shores of Pend d'Oreille the remains
of five cygnets that some murderous
hunter had slain. W~anton, he had
left them where he shot them, TAX
ing neither the flesh for food nor
the downy skin to mount for orna-
ment.
The geese, half a dozen varieties,
are not nearly as plentiful as they
were. Some of us remember when
their flight, like that of the utterly
extinct wild pigeon, darkened the
sky and obscured the sun like a
thunder-cloud. Now they are only
found along the w~ell-traveled routes
of their migration and then only in
fast-decreasing numbers. The same
is true of the wild duck. Time was
when in both spring and autumn
every creek in Montana had it's quota
OF mallard and teal and every lake a
score or more of varieties. Today
there are only a few lakes in the
state IN which the duck-hunter is
sure OF a good days bag.
