The wise mother will leave her baby to its own resources. This does not mean the child is left lying in the crib without any attention, but she will provide toys suitable to the age of the infant. A rattle tied to the crib or bright ball placed within direct range of baby's vision will provide amusement for a long time, even for very young child. Of course, articles must be changed frequently to sustain interest. The inflated rubber dolls and animals are ideal toys for infants.

HELPS FOR MOTHER
Rr rNI1LE D. HoFrMAN

Mrs. MI do not think you need worry about your baby's nervous ness. I judge much of this is due to insufficient sleep, and can be reme- died by little persistence on your part. Until your child as year old she should sleep 16 hours day. She should take an nap during the morn Ing and another In the afternoon. You are positively inJuring your child by keeping her awake until you retire. The constant amusing indulged In by ali the family during the entire evening is a nerve strain to the child and probably causes the disturbed sleep you mention. Your baby should sleep 12 hours a: night. You are making a mistake ny hold ing the child and rocking until she sleeps soudly. and those drops you are giving her to produce sleep are positively dangerous"

FUNERAL OF j. W. YERGEY.
CONTINUED from page One)

AA1aAA DASG IA
Friday evening and during the
night Mr.. Yergey had been feeling
somewhat worse than usual, and on
Saturday started to go to his office
down town as usual. He was feeling
uncomfortable and decided to rest
a while before leaving. After a short
rest he again started to leave the
house, when he fell to the floor un.
conscious. Mrs. Yengey immediate
ly called a physician, her daughter,
Mrs. Carl Spieth, and Mrs. H S.
Buell., who came at once to the house.
Every effort was used by the physi-
clan to revive Mr.. Yergey, but he
passed away without regaining con-
seriousness.
MI. Yergey came to Montana about
20 years ago from Iowa, and during
most of that time has been interested
in the real estae and insurance bust
ness in Bozeman, his son, Alfred Yer
gey, being associated with him in the
business. He was prominently iden-
titled for many years in the civic ac-
t~ivities of the city, and always took
a keen interest in Bozeman's devel-
opment.
Mr.. Yergey was married to Miss
Mary Mayhem in 1870, who with five
children survive him. The children
the Mrs. S. H. Nutting, of Omaha
Neb.; Alfred Yergey, of Bozeman;
Maurice Yergey, of Omaha, Neb.
Stanley Yergey, of San Diego, Calf
Mrs Carl Spieth, of Bozeman. One
brother also survives, George B. Yer.
gey, of Washington, d. c. There are
nine grandchildren and two great
grandchildren.
The unexpected death of Mr.. Yer
gey came as a great shock to his fam.
lily, and the citizens of Bozeman who
have known him as a man of fine
character and high business integrity
extend coincidence in their loss. TIL,
high esteem in which Nh. Yergey wa
held was demonstrated by the grea'
number of floral tributes which GOV
cred his coffin. Representatives from
many organizations of the city K
which he belonged attended in a bod!
to pay their last respects to the de
parted and accompany the remain
to their last resting place.
At the church, Mrs. Claude Stef
fins and Mrs. w. N. Purdy san!
duets, and F. T. Griffin sang a sole
accompanied on the organ by Mrs. I
o. Holm.

THE RUHR.

Ii the French enter the Ruhr region of Ger
many, and take over the metal and other funda-|
mental industries there, in order to secure the
payment of German PREPARATIONS money, the world
may face another critical ~juncture, and again
1t may not. While the English government is
strenuously opposed to such a step by France.
the English people are not at all likely to favor
a British policy that might even lead to war. The
English are sick of war.
The Germans are not prepared to resist. and
the rest of Europe either supports the French,
notably Italy and Belgium, or is in the same
apathetic state, so far as war is concerned. This
country viii not do anything in the premises.
in fact, it appears probable the world will look
on and refrain from any sort of action, leaving
the matter to France and Germany to settle.
While in many publications voices are raised.
protesting against the invasion of the Ruhr bv
France, while many others declare that such a
move eventually will react to do France more
harm than good, still there is plenty of j~ustifca-
ton for such an act.
In the latest Literary Digest it is pointed out
that, while the damage done French territory by
the German soldiers aggregates 1O4,0o0, 900 gold
marks, and the French have spent 44,O00, 900 gold
marks restoring the devastated regions, the Ger
mans to date have paid in PREPARATIONS but 4,000.-
fe00 gold marks.
It seems certain that the Germans will attack
France again if they ever grow strong enough,
and that they have dishonesty demoralized their
''ra Frances expressly for the purpose of evad.
ling payment of indemnities, is beyond question
The rough judgment of the world win be that the
French have . complete right to pursue the course

wise only the future can tel-Montasa Record.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The merry battle is on at Helena now that the
legislature is fairly under way. There was a
most peaceful opening of the session with an
apparent control of both houses by the Dixon
forces. There seems to be no change in the
situation of the house, although it is still too
early to predict how that branch of the law
makers will function. With a fairly good margin
for a republican majority, legislation of value to
the state ought to be easy to accomplish.
1t is amusing to read the comments of OPPOSE
ton papers regarding those members of the house
who are showing a disposition to support the
tax measures suggested by Governor Dixon. The
men who are in the house, elected for the position
they took before the election on taxation matters,
are already branded by the opposition as rubber
stamps. The Democratic members, who have been
herded into caucus and instructed by Senator
Elect B. K. Wheeler and Judge Jackson, as, to

that there is no way to determine
just how long a time will pass during
the cycle. 1t may last for 28 monts
or a change may come in seven
months. Present indications seem to
point to a continued raise for sew
eral months to come.
Many other valuable points in reia
ton TO stability of values, money ba-
sis and financial questions were dis
cussed by DR.. Warren, the members
keeping him answering questions for
nearly half an hour.

CONTINUED from page One)
From that time until December, 1921,
a gradual decrease in prices has main
tanned, bringing the prices down to
141 per cent. Since then there has
been a slow raise in prices, until in
November of 1922 the values stood at
159.
The high points in wholesale prices
reached before the world war were
in 1910 and 1913, when they were
los and 1O4 respectively, the lowest
being reached in 1901, when they
stood at 80. During these years the
drop in prices did not equal the raise,
so that by the end Of that period the
average was considerably larger than
in 1900. The big drop from May,
1922, was due to the fact that prices
had gone so high during the world
war it was inevitable they must come
down a corresponding amount. This
drop was a greater drop in prices thar
resulted after the Civil War, DR.
Warren stated.
Prices are now going up, DR.. War
rem stated, and will continue to do 81
for some time. Just how long thj
tide will carry prices up is one of tn
uncertain things that make life inter
esting trying to figure out. Price
have risen 18 points since last Jan
uary, and there is no way of telling
how much more they will raise al

BOHEMIAN VISITORS

This week Bozeman is entertaining about 9OU
high school boys from every part of the state.
There are more boys here this year than attended
any of the previous vocational conferences, winch
indicates that the interest in these annual gath
erings has grown to wonderful proportions. Great
credit is due Prof. M. ]. Abbey and the college
faculty for the manner in which the boys are
being taken care of while they are in the city.
To bring so many high school boys into a city
the size of Bozeman, house them, feed them, as
well as providing entertainment for them is a
problem recurring more than ordinary labor.
Every available bed in the city has been mus
tered into service, and there are nearly one hum
dred of the boys occupying the gymnasium of the
Y. NJ, C, A, sleeping on cots made down upon
the floor.
> Together with the boys conference is being held
the Annual Farmers Week, wherein the farmers
of the state meet in daily session in conjunction
with the members of the faculty of the college,
and many noted educators of the country. These
sessions are devoted to discussion of the many
problems important to the farmer, including crop
marketing, livestock breeding and marketing and
many other subjects. The women are not for
gotten in these sessions for there are meetings
arranged for the discussion of home economics,

methods of handling the problems of the home.
Bozeman business men, bankers, doctors, law
yers, in fact, all who are interested in the college
and the success of the farmer, ought to make it
a point to attend these sessions. The annual
Farmers Week is not an exclusive session for
farmers only. 1t is for the purpose of deriving
mutual benefit by exchanging ideas and exper-
fences. The business man can profit by attending
these meetings just as much-and possibly more
than anyone else. He will be able to get a
clearer prospectus of the farmers viewpoint, and
be the better endabled to work in harmony with
the farmer for mutual benefit.
Great good comes to Bozeman from the An.
nual Farmers Week session held at the Montana
State college. Not only are the discussion OF
farming problems beneficial, but the impression
made by the city upon the visitor can be of great
value. This is also true in an even greater sense
with reference to the high school boys. Eacl
of these boys is a prospective student of tn,
college. They are at the point when they vii
be selecting the higher institute for completin,
their education. A favorable impression of Boze
man will bring many of these boys back her
later. With the increased facilities at the col
lege in equipment provided in the new buildings
it is desirable that Bozeman do its share to max
the boys want to return here.

apparent at this time, there is a most
intense effort being made to cause Some of these
members of the house to desert the cause that
is for the best interest of Montana.
In the senate there has been one skirmism
wherein the line was closely drawn, when the
committee on committees report came in for APP
proval. On a roll call vote to segregate the COM
on taxation from the rest of the report,
the motion lost by two votes with two absent.
Here it is shown that the forces opposed to the
tax measures proposed by Governor Dixon have a
narrow margin in their favor, unless some change
develops later. Senator Herren of Custer county,
who had been supposed to favor the Dixon pro-
gram, is reported to have deserted the cause and
gone over to the opposition. The senate, evidently,
will be the battle ground where tax measures
will be killed, with the opposition having a clear
majority of four votes.
The senate committee on revenue and taxation
of nine members, is composed of six who are
openly opposed to the tax program of Governor
Dixon, two are favorable to the program, and
one supposed to be neutral. An amusing feature
about the committee named, is the attempt of
the anti-Dixon newspapers to make it appear that
the men are all farmers. Some of them are,
but the most of them are agriculturists, rather
than farmers, their business interests consisting
of real estate, law, banking and such occupations.
Their farming experiences have been those of the
city man who farms as a side issue.
One noticeable thing about the Eighteenth leg
~islature is the large number of farmers in both
branches. There is, in fact, a majority of farmers
over all other lines of business represented. 1t
should be a significant point with the members,
GIVING them the pO1ra Op t0 uyOrk for looiclotiOn
they know will be beneficial to the state in general
and against such as will be harmful to them. It
is an opportunity for the farmer to show his
ability as a law maker. If the members of the
legislature enact the legislation asked for by Gov
ernor Dixon, they will be doing themselves and
the state of Montana a real service. Should they
permit themselves to be led astray by the crafty
lobbyist who can picture almost anything to suit
his argument, then they will have something to
regret in future.
Montana, as a state, has for years been living
up to a standard equal to other states of ten times
its population. 1t has adopted extravaganza meth
DDS of business, created many commissions anC
boards, during the few years of its prosperity, anC
Itsis now necessary to economic. Governor Dixor
has urged economy ever since he has been in
office. His recommendations for changes in tn;
tax methods of the state are necessary if tht
property owner is to be saved from confiscatory
taxation. 1t is up to the present legislature t.
provide the necessary laws to make those inter
ests, now escaping their fair share of taxation
meet their responsibility to the state. The mem
bers of the Eighteenth legislature should realiz
this responsibility they owe the state and provid
the needed laws.
