Billings.-Montana is the best winter

ager of the Campbell Farming corpora
ton, which Is farming 10000 acres on
the Crow Indian reservation near Har-
din and has this year 10000 acres In
winter wheat and 10000 acres in spring

the crop prospects for 1923 are the best
of any of the five years during which
his company has been operating In
Montana.

Illustrated by the fact that we are re-

that wheat growing here Is less haz-
ardous than in the Red river country
of North Dakota, where my family has
been engaged in farming for 40 years.
"In Big Horn county, for instance,
We have an average annual precipita-
ton of 1914 inches with a very small
run off because the rains come and
the SHOWS melt off at times when the
ground is not frozen and is in condi-

four to five inches. I am not guessing

BIG SALARIES IN PALESTINE
Discomfort over High Pay to British
Officials in Impoverished
Land.

Jerusalem, Palestine.-The Palestine
budget for the coming fiscal year calls
for an expenditure Of nearly $11 ,000,-
600. Comment has been caused by the
high salaries paid to British officials
and the relatively small amount al
lotted to education.
Two and one-half million dollars
goes for the maintenance of prisons
and public security. This, however, Is
not surprising In view of the large
number of Indian troops kept here,
whose presence Is deemed necessary
because of the hatreds engendered by
the Balfour declaration.
Less than half a million dollars Is
appropriated for education, and half
of this sum goes to administrative ex-
pense. The country would be in bad
way indeed, from the standpoint of
education, were 1t not for the excellent
schools maintained by the Christian
missions and the good work done by
the Zionist organization in looking af-
ter the education Of Jewish children.
The head of the department of edu-
cation draws salary larger than that
Of the secretary to the President of
the United States, and the salaries
of all the British officials are CORE
spondingly large. The British high
commissioner is paid $4,000 year
and has in addition an expense allow
ance of $500 annually.
These high salaries have created dis
content among the people. In judging
the situation it should be remembered
that Palestine is poor country, with
an area about equal to the state OF
Vermont Until recently all the heads
Of governmental departments had their
own automobiles, maintained at great
expense by the government. But an
Arabic newspaper in JerHsalm made
such an outcry against this practice
that 1t was speedily abolished.

COLORS WOMEN MAY WEAR
Black Becoming to Those Of Fair
Complexion; Blue Flattering
Shade; Pink, Youth ~

There Is an idea very general among
women that wearing black has an age
ing effect on the appearance. but this
Is far from the case. Naturally with
black, as with every other shade, a
great deal depends upon individual col
oring, but fair woman, provided her
complexion is not sallow, often looks
considerably younger in black than she
would in some bright color. The ma
terial chosen should not, of course, be
very thick and heavy, as heavy black
materials are very somber-looking and
therefore far from youthful in appear
ance.
With few exceptions, blue is the
most fiattering color any woman can
wear and unless she is unfortunate
enough to have chosen the wrong
shade a woman will always look young
er in blue gown than in any other
color. Very fair women, with ash
blonde hair, should choose the pale
shades of blue light tones of sake and
gray-blues, while those with dark or
golden-brown hair can adopt the deep
er shades, royal and the lighter tones
of navy-blues.
Green. especially in its brighter
shades, is an ageing color, and the
only woman to whom 1t is really be-
coming is the auburn-haired.
Any shade of yellow is apt to add
to ones appearance of years, especial
ly the deeper tones of orange and
bn
decidedly youthful wearer.
Pale tones of pink are not only be-
coming but very youthful in effect, es-
pecially under artificial light.
Brown, which Is often considered
dull, is, If the right tone be obtained,
rather inclined to look youthful; but
when deciding on the exact shade the
light in the hair should be taken into
consideration. A russet-brown gown
worn by woman with similar tones
in her hair is wonderfully becoming.
Before deciding on a color it is
good plan to drape piece of the ma
terial round the head and notice
whether it makes the eyes look bright
or and brings out their color. If it
does, you may safely wear 1t, knowing
that you will be looking younger and
prrttier than usual; but If it appears
to rob the eyes of their brilliancy dis
card it, no matter how pretty 1t may
be or how well 1t may look on some
one else.
Color for evening wear should be
chosen in artificial light, and those for
day use in broad sunshine, for 1t Is
quite useless selecting a perfectly
| lovely shade" under circumstances for
which 1t is not intended.
Sore materials alter considerably in
artificial light-especially taffeta and
charmeuse-which takes on quite a
different tint and appearance when
| seen beneath electric light. -.--.----~-----

Epiphany Church

Epiphany Church celebrated Holy
Thusday, as is it's usual custom, with
the professional of children, though
the number was not so large as in
some years because of the unfavora BILE
weather, but about forty girls dressed
in white, with wreaths on their heads
marched in the procession, followed
by about twenty altar boys, then the
little flower girls, who strewed flow
ers along the way as they marched
around the church in front of the
Blessed Sacrament, followed by the
priest.
The pipe organ played until the end
of the Gloria, then was silent until the
glad Easter Sunday.
On Good Friday there We're two
services, and on Sunday the Easter

Congregational Church

T h e Congregational Church of
Grantwood observed the Passion Week
by special services on Thursday eve
ming and Friday, both exceedingly well
attended and inspiring.
On Thursday evening Rev. Mr.. Ham
mond of Closter had charge of the
service and the communion was ad-

DR.. Briggs of Piedmont College,
quartet of young men from the college
delighted every one with their many
vocal selections, sung in splendid man

On Easter Sunday at the morning

preached on the Resurrection.
The church was beautifully decorat-
ed with plants and flowers, Miss Eta
Kothe being in charge of this.
Six new members were received
into the communion of the church
Mr. and Mrs. Kline, Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
old Clissit, Mrs. Lillian Mandit, and
Mrs. Maude E. Merlock.
Two babies We're baptized, those of
Mr.. and Mrs. Voegelei and Mr.. and
Mrs. Clissit. Special music was rem
dered. by a trio, Mrs. N. c. Cause,
Mrs Merrick, and Mrs. Joyce. A solo
also was given by Mrs. Richard
HOrner.
The same trio furnished the music

whom over S5 per cent read the last

Some of the large number of COM
ments related by the children are
printed in the new paper just as writ
ten by the 4th, 5th and 9Th grade pu-
pills, such as: "Of course our parents
like it and think of it as a million
times better than any other thing or
paper to read" "They like the Italian
parts-they made my parents laugh so
much. My mother tries all her best
to send us to school; she only keeps
us home for sickness" My father
would like to read more paper, and he
liked it. He was sitting all the eve
ming since he ate his supper" etc, etc.
The parents are very much inter-
| ested in the Honor and Attendance
rolls and much appreciate the transla-
ton of certain articles in their own
language.
The "Get the Habit Club" in Cliff
side School Grade 5A is mentioned,
meaning you must come to school
clean, take your rubbers off in school,
clean your teeth and your finger nails,
polish your shoes, keep paper off the
floor and do not turn around when
some one is coming in the room"
The Blue Bird Audubon Club in
Cliffside Grade has it's newly elected
tary, Myra Styrace; and treasurer,
Wallie Gallon. Any one may join by
paying ten cents, thus securing the
pin and colored pictures and may then
join in the bird walks.
Another bird club, "The Bird Protec
ton Club" is in the Grantwood school
and the boys of the schools are making
bird houses, so we may hope that the
many beautiful and useful birds who
come to Cliffside Park this year may
be protected and encouraged
In March the school children OF
Grade 5B in School No. went to the
Museum of Natural History to see the
Indian articles, as they were studying
about John Smith; the kindergarten
class of School No. visited a shoe
makers, Mr. Casini, who showed them
the materials and process of putting a
