TUITION FOR INDIANS
in PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Washington, May 23.-Needs of
the Indian children of the Fort Bel
KNAPP and Fort Peck reservations will
be kept in mind in distribution of the
$250,OO0 appropriation for education
of Indians in the public schools dur
ing the next fiscal year, Congressman
Scott Leavitt says he was assured
by B. S. CARRIER, head of the educa-
tional division of the Indian depart
ment. This appropriation is an in
crease Of $4,000 over that for the
present year, which was insufficient
to cover the field, Mr.. CARRIER said.
Before returning to Montana after
a brief business visit here Congress-
mar Leavitt announced that Presi-
dent Harding had decided to APP
point Rolla Duncan of Billings u. S.
marshal for the district of Montana,
effective July 1. Mr.. Leavitt said
Mr.. Duncan was endorsed by the
State Sheriff's association, every ele-
ment in the republican party and by
democrats.
Extension of oil and gas prospect
ing permits will be granted in all
cases where the sincerity of the
holder is shown, Commissioner Will
liam Spry told Mr.. Leavitt. Lack of
finances to go ahead with work, which
he said exists in many cases, is be-
ing considered by the land office, Mr..
Leavitt said.
Disposition of Fort Keogh remount
station and grounds, recently order
ed abandoned by the war department,
will be as nearly along the lines de-
sired by the people of Miles City and
community as possible, Congressman
Leavitt said after a conference with
Quartermaster General w. H. Hart.
At present the different departments
of the government are being can
vassed to learn if it is desired for
further governmental purposes.
Road and irrigation matters of
Montana were also taken up with the
departments by Mr.. Leavitt during
his stay here.

First Voluntary Hospital.

Westminster hospital, which is to
be enlarged by the addition of another
story, was the first institution estab-
llshed by voluntary contributions in
London. 1t was begun in a small
house in Birdcage walk in 1715, chief
ly through the efforts of Henry Hoare,
who formed a society "for the relief
Of the sick and needy at the Public In
Urinary in Westminster" and devel.
oped so rapidly that within a few
years a new building had to be ac-
quired in Chapel street, providing ac-
commodation for 90 patients. Another
removal a few years later led to the
resignation of a number of the gov
errors, who subsequently founded the
st. Georges hospital at Hyde Park.
The present building was erected in
1884.

BAINVILLE GIRL WINS
YEARS SCHOLARSHIP

Miss Lillian Aspengren of Balm
vile, won first in the Girls Clothing
Project work, which entities her to
one years scholarship in any of the
institutions of the State of Montana.
Mrs. ]. G. Casey, the local leader
at Bainville, is largely responsible for
the splendid work done by the girls
in the clothing project. All of the
clothing club work is very practical,
due to the fact that girls of club age
are taught to make their own wear
ing apparel and different things for
the home which are very useful. They
also received training of skilled local
leaders who make the work very in
teresting and valuable, and such
work will undoubtedly reflect its value
in the homes of that community in
years.

Get THE HOPPERS
WHILE VERY YOUNG
REPORTED NUMEROUS EAST
AND WEST-PROMPT ACTION
ONLY SAFE WAY

The grasshopper situation in the
counties west of us seems to be get
ting more serious as the warmer sea
son progresses, also, to the east of
us, it is reported that Williams coun-
ty, North Dakota, has appropriated
a large amount of money to fight this
common enemy.
Farmers should watch closely for
the young hoppers Matching out or
the beds Of eggs which will give them
an indication of what to expect and
what preparations to make for control
methods. At the present time a sup
ply of poison is on hand at Wolf Point
Poplar, Froid and Lanark, with the
exception of bran which local dealers
are expected to handle for the farm
ers.
If dry weather continues the CON
dition will undoubtedly be very ser
ious as the hoppers will depend upon
the spring seeded crops as soon as
the prairie grass dries up. ,
Control methods are most effective
when the hoppers are very young.
Millions of hoppers can be poisoned
after they are Matched at a
very low cost and crops can be saved
if control methods are started soon
enough. The time to start poisoning
is after the hoppers are Matched and
not when they are grown to half or
full size and start moving in armies.
A control method letter has been
sent to most community committee
men and anyone who discovers large
quantities of grasshoppers adjacent
to a crop field should Immediately
get in touch with n of their COM
officers if they are not ae-
Iuainted with the control methods.

LAND OPEN TO ENTRY.
BY WORLD WAR VETS

Washington, June 29.-About A.
500 acres of land in Fergus county
will soon be thrown open to entry
by veterans of the World War, ac-
cording to announcement by the gen
eral land office. The date will be set
by the receiver of the Lewistown land
office. The land is described as most
ly mountainous and well timbered.
This land will be open for filing by
the general public after the 81 days
of preference for ex-service men ex-
pires. This is included in a list of
1907 00 acres in Montana, North Da-
kota and Wyoming to be opened for
entry.
Indians Increase
There are 200 more Indians in the
Blackfeet reservation in northern
Montana than there were two years
ago, according to figures just an
nounced by the Indian Office. The
present population is given at 5000.
Considerable economic improvement
is also noted. Whereas the govern
ment was r~ationiryt 1000 Indians
two years ago, the number receiving
food the past year does not exceed
500, the office figures show.
Adversely overlook the Blackfeet
in 1920, when a considerable portion
of their stock died. Their economic
comeback is credited largely to re-
suits obtained from the organization
of a farm and livestock association,
to which nearly all of the Indians be-
long. The organization sponsors a
continuous program of agricultural
development, which has resulted in
a large percentage of the Blackfeet
becoming self sustaining.

The Raffled e

Millinery looks alike to snere man,
especially when two hats of the same
color and general contour are seen from
the rear. The other day two couples,
strangers, boarded a street car at the
same corner, and while the sheiks paid
the fare, the shebas selected seats
across the aisle from each other. Then
Sheik No. 1 went to join his lady, and
sat himself beside the hat he thought
she wore. The face under the hat was
looking out the window, and nothing
was said for a moment. Then he felt
a hand on his shoulder, and Sheik No.
2 said, 81 guess you've got the wrong
seat" Sheik No. l and both shebas
blushed furiously, and the passengers
roared.-Detroit News.
