Chicago, Feb. 2.--A twenty-three- year-old student at Northwestern uni versity Law school, who has been sightless since babyhood, has won more scholarship honors in one year than ever bestowed on a student with perfect eyesight, it was announced today.

 My mother is my pair of eyes" Weinman said. She has devoted her life to making me happy. At first it was awfully hard studying law through mothers eyes but she en- couraged me to persist"
 Weinman has received the Rufus H. Sage scholarship. the only scholarship at the disposal of the law school fac ulty and the Charles A. Koenke prize, given each year to the student who has demonstrated promise of the greatest future usefulness and who needs assistance.

COVE COMMENTS.

Many cf you have no doubt read
the terrible revelations in last
Sundays P.-I concerning tic
dope" (narcotic) traffic. There
is over one million addicts and the
number is increasing by leaps and
bounds. Does it concern us in
dividually? 1t surely does, as
there is no knowing when it may
strike ones own immediate fami-
| ", and in any case it is a matter
of national concern, and We have
to institute a national crusade for
the determination Of this reptil-
ian thing that has insidiously
crept into the homes of the rich
and the poor, the educated and the
Iignorant. In comparison with the
addict, who is well nigh incurable,
and whose early demise is GER
tain, the drunkard is as nothing.
The deadly traffic is fostered by
that consniensiouless type of midi
lvidual Who places the dollar above
amy other consideration. Judge
Ronald, in an open letter in the
Seattle Times, January Is, speaks
about the increase of lawlessness
owing to the lack Of promptness
and finality in the administration
of justice, which latter state Of
things is comparatively easy to
remedy. But is not the increase
Of crime due in a great measure
to the drug fiends2 Note the mum
Der of people murdered in the

years. What record for a sup
posedly Christian civilization

Upon the days of bygone years the days loved wel
But thinking of them wish somehow that could know

When all the family gathered round table richly spread,
With little Jamie at the foot and grandpa at the head
The youngest of us all to greet the Oldest with smile
With mother running in and and laughing all the while
like the oden way the BEST when relatives glad
To meet the way they used to do when was but a lad
The old home rendezvous for all kth and kim
And whether living far they all trooping in
With shouts of Hello daddy they fairly sormed the place
And made rush for mother who would stop and wipe her face
Upon her Bingham apron before she kissed them all,
Huggng them proudly her breast the grownup and the small
Then laughter rang throughout the home and OH the jokes they

From Boston Frank brought but father pang the old

POISON IVY.
BY CHARLEY l.. CANT
Guemes Beachcomber.)

The poison ivy cuss sits down
and chews the rag, and swears
the town is going to the dogs, be-
cause, he failed to get his graft
ing paws, down in the people s
pockets where his claws could
scratch their purses bare. He
clothes his town with sluggard 5
slang; he wants to run the whole
shebang, the parks and roads and
'lectric lights and this old snooz-
er he delights in butting in to
whine his song in places where he
don't belong. He thinks his cof-
fers should receive all worldly
wealth, ! do believe, and croaks
and talks in language sore be-
cause there is not something more
that he can grab with claw-like
mitts and fitch his neighbor of
two bits.
The poison ivy bloke he sees
no beauty in the forest trees, and
hears no music in the song which
Nature sings the whole day long.
1t seems no beauty can unfold to
please his sight, unless it's gold,
and then this fellow needs must
know which way the gold is 60
ing to flow and if it don't flow in
his purse he sits him down to
croak and curse, while all about
the world is bright and other
hearts are gay and light, but
Little Poison Ivy" he, is never
smiling merrily, but always wears
Shylock frown and wants to
own and run the town, and tries
to take stranglehold; the only
God he knows is gold.
All, men on beds of eiderdown,
who still, for gold, will choke your
town, who for the sake Of paltry
gain will bring grim poverty and
pain upon the innocent and poor,
your golden god shall not endure,
your castle walls shall melt and
go as did the walls of Jerico and
you II return to Mother Earth as
naked as you We're at birth.

Across the Bar.
By Alfred Tennyson.

Sunset and evening stars,
And one clear call for me.
And may there be no moaning Of
the bar
When | put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems
asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out
the boundless deep,
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark
And may there be no sadness of
farewell
When | embark.
For tho from bourne of time and
place,
The food may bear me far,
| hope to see my pilot face to face
When | have crossed the bar.

MUCH MONTANA LAND is OPEN
TO SETTLEMENT, SAYS DAVIS

OF Montana's total area of 94,078,-
$50 acres there remain in the hands
of the federal government and open
to homestead 5,659,879 acres, accord
ing to data compiled by the bureau of
publicity of the state agricultural de-
partment, which will soon be issued
in book form.
Much of this acreage is, however,
in the "bad lands" of eastern Mon
tana or on mountain peaks where it
is inaccessible or unfertile.
OF Montana's 94,078,080 acres a
little over half million are water
surface. Uncle Sam retains, in ma
tional forest areas, national parks,
Indian reservations, bird preserves,
reservoir sites and oil land with
drawals, total of approximately 49,
100000 acres.
The largest area of land open to
demonstrating is in Phillips county,
with 662,504 acres. Beaverhead
county is second with 625,212 acres.
Third is Garfield county with $780,
S33 and fourth is valley county with
568,275. Carter county ranks fifth
with 547,406 and Fergus sixth, with

TREASURE STATE FARM AND LIVESTOCK
Sunflo1uers Valuable for
Silage and SoiGng Crop

There are great possibilities in the
giant Russian sunflower as a crop for
the silo in those sections of Montana
where the altitude is too hlgh, the
growing season too short or the rain
fall insufficient to permit the raising
of satisfactory crops of corn.
At the state experiment station at
Bozeman, SO tons of sunflowers
were harvested from single acre
and feeding tests indicated that it
might prove highly valuable for dairy
cattle, when fed either fresh from the
field or from the silo.
Thirty Tons Per Acre -
One experiment plot yielded at the
rate of 80 tons to the acre during the
season without irrigation. Consider
ing the dry season this is remark
able yield and when it is considered
that corn in Montana seldom pro-
duces more than six tons of fodder
per acre the great advantage of sun
flowers over corn is at once apparent.
Sunflowers were fed as a soiling
crop for IL days to several head OF
dairy cows in comparison with an
equal number of COWS fed upon green
corn. At the end of the test the milk
records, fat tests, and live weights
of the cows indicated that the sun
flowers were equal pound for pound
to the green corn. The cows con-
sumed as high as go pounds per
day of finely cut sunflowers, eating
it with great relish. No detrimental
effects could be detected on the ami
mails or in the milk.
Feeding as Ensilage
Fourteen cows were fed for
twenty-eight days on grain, clover
hay and sunflower silage while an
equal number were being fed on grain
and clover hay. At the end of the
time, after a weeks transitional pc
Rod, the ration of the two lots was
reversed for another twenty-eight
day period.
Since he lots were practically
equal in weight, age, etc, the same
amount of grain was fed to each lot.
By keeping the grain equal the val
Ie of the ensilage was measured di-
rectly in the saving in clover hay,
md any difference in the weight of
he animals or in the amount of milk |
produced at the end of the expert
nents.
