Of Social Welfare

Bangor Me, Sept. 21-A particu-
larly good program is now being ar
ranged for the annual meeting of the
State Conference. which is to be held
in Bangor Oct. "a and %. 1t is eX-
pected that DIR. Catherine Bement
Davis. DIR. Rachael Yarros, and other
equally well known speakers will be
secured. In addition, there will be
speakers from within our state. not
ably DIR. Coombs of the United States
Public Health Service. 1t is not
generally appreciated that the figures
of the United States Surgeon Gen.

suit of the draft laws in the late war,
disclose the fact that Maine. which
most of us think of as being particu-
larly healthy. is actually very near
the bottom Of the list in mental and
most physical diseases.
Before much in the way of remedy
can be done, the facts must be re-
cognized. A large part of the work
of the fall meeting will be along
these lines. 1t Is hoped that this
Bangor meeting will surpass all
others in attendance, as it will In In

especially attractive poke which
Miss Theriault shows is of rosewood

deep rich brown with tinSe of red.
The crushable crown is completed by
a turn down brim of gold lace and
gilt bead trimmings. The sally
pokes, as a whole, are very, very mar
row in back and very, very wide In
front when it comes to the brlm. The
crowns are soft and the lines are
generally fiattering to the wearer.
Russian green is another new color.
The Russian influence is being fore
casted for winter wear, in the suits

GALLATIN RANKS
High IN STATE

For the first time in the history Of
the state, estimates are available for
this county's showing in acreage,
yield per acre and total production of
the principal crops grown in 1922.
They are found in the Montana Farm
Review. Vol l., just issued as a joint
bulletin by the United States depart,
ment of agriculture and the Montana
state department Of agriculture.
According to the graphs in the
Montana Farm Review, based upon
official estimates of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture, Gallatin county
in 1922 rankekd third incombmed
value Of crops and livestock, third in
total value Of all crops, and nine,
teenth in total value Of all livestock.
The Farm Review estimates the
total value of livestock in Montana,
January 1, 1928, at $95,O24,OOO, and
the value of all animal products for
1922 at SCI, 100000. Montana ranks
nineteenth on the former in compar-
ison with other states, and twenty
fourth on the latter.
The total value of all crops raised
in Montana in 1922 is estimated at
$92 $4,000, and in 1921 at SIS, 1O1,-
900. In acreage, Montana ranked
twenty-fourth in comparison to other
states, and in total crop value thirty
first.
A wealth of statistical, historical
and graphic information relating to
agriculture, livestock. lands, forestry
and timber, Montana climatology and
allied subjects is presented in the
volume, which was prepared by Geo
A. Scott, agricultural statistician fol-
the U. S. department of agriculture
assisted by Charles D. Greenfield, Jr.
chief of the division of publicity OF
the state department of agriculture
In the foreword, Mr.. Scott gives q
glimpse of how crop reporting work
is conducted, and says it is planned t
make the volume an annual pubilca.
ton which hereafter will include
only reports for the current year, with
comparative data.

is given by the chapters: Historca

Radio Players Club Organized At
w. C.

The first Radio Players Club to be
organized in the west is on the State
College of Washington campus, where
Prof. M. L. Daggy of the department
of public speaking is preparing young
people to present plays over the radio
broadcaster, Station X F A Z.
He will choose 90 students, within
few weeks now, out of his classes
in advanced public speaking work, to
form the nucleus of the club, and pre-
pare plays and special programs for
the broadeaster.
Radio plays are new branch Of
dramatic art, quite different from
stagecraft, as there is no makeup or
stage-setting and no acting-just the
and dramatic handling of
the voice to depend upon for putting
the play across" y. A few plays have
been presented from eastern radio sta
tions, but as yet this is the first wes-
tern attempt in this line.
