GAME WAS WITHIN THE LAW
officers Sent to Break Up Poker Party
Found Only Harmless Players
Of Bridge.

Skulking figures clrcled cautiously
and with light tread about house on
the north side. Close observation dis
closed that the figures wore on their
left breasts the pointed stars Of Of
ficers Of the law. Inside the house
the sound of shuffled cards, muffled
laughter, and light conversation could
be heard. The moon hung low in the
sky. All was peaceful. Abruptly,
there came knock at the door OF
the house.
The sounds on the inside Of the
house ceased and the door was opened.
Before the startled eyes of the po-
lice raiding squad, led by Lieutenant
Louis Johnson, were disclosed eight
well-dressed women all smiling gra-
ciously, and all engaged in the pleas
ant pastime and popular indoor sport
of auction bridge.
"Aw, we were sent up here to get
poker game" Lieutenant Johnson
explained, in substance. 1--WE can't

"Oh, found the most wonderful

she put down her old suitcase on the
kitchen table and unbuckled the
straps. Look here, Uncle Jerry. It's

"Good Lord, no, Car'line," he ex-
ploded in amazement. "Ain't anything

That's all, honest. Why, you don't

She lifted her hand quickly in a
gesture that brushed the past out of

, Building
EASY TO HAVE FINE GARDEN
Some Attractive Features Outlined
Here-Campfire Site Is One Of
the Best Put Forward.

The wild grapevine Is invaluable for
covering fence or old stump with a
veil Of beauty, and while it's blossoms
are not conspicuous, they are wonder
fully fragrant, perfuming the air for a
distance. The fruit is a favorite of
birds
Another feature that will make pri-
vate garden more attractive is a camp
fire site, an idea which Jens Jensen has
popularized. Before the days Of flint
and tinder, Indians guarded their camp
fires day and night to prevent them
from going out; and old camp sites
show the hearths used for this purpose.
They are oval or round depressions,
paved with stones. Such hearth in a
suitable location in your garden, where
a fire may be built without injury to
grass or shrubs, will be rallying point
in the outdoor living room after the
sun has gone down. Skillful manage
ment will make it keep mosquitoes at
distance in midsummer, and when
the evening air has grown chill, the
campfire will prolong the season of en-
joyment out of doors.
Who would not consider a garden
with attractions such as have been
described valuable addition to
home? Such garden is within the
power of any one who controls back
yard where shrubs will grow; and it
may be brought about at surprising
ly small expense, provided the owner
lends his mind to the task and does
not demand three-year results for one
months labor

Home Comes First.

The possession Of home and the
thought and interest centered upon q
home make for contentment, peace
and thrift, and all the qualities that
make the ideal citizen.
Money spent on the home Is the
greatest investment, spend little more
to keep intact that greatest Of divine
Institutions, remembering also that
beauty and cost are not synonyms and
that 1t is possible to create n har-
monious environment with moderate
outlay, providing one is willing to make
the necessary effort to cultivate dis
eliminating taste.
Through the magnitude of Its influ-
ence in the formation of character
the home rules the life Of community
and n country. Better homes make
better children. better children make
letter citizens and better citizens n

She passed the pepper to Crink and
dragged stool in front of the apple
box cupboard beside the stove. The
glass dishes, being very choice were
in one Of the upper boxes, behind the
spices Lettie began moving the
spice boxes to another shelf.
"Oh-oh!" she shrieked. II dropped
one. Pick 1t up, quick! Oh! Quick"
But neither child could be quicker
than the spice box had been. 1t had
fallen on the stove. When it struck,
the cover flew off. A liberal quantity
of cayenne pepper spread over the
hot stove, and instantly spiral Of
black smoke arose, like diabolic in
cense. An acrid odor filled the
kitchen; stinging permeation as
sailed nostrils and throats.
"Oh, amt that the darndest- Oh!
Murder! Help! Helpi Come! Come
along! Quick OH"
FIJI Caesar coughed madly, leaped
into the air; then dashed into the
open. Crink dropped the pepper,
spilling the precious corn over the
stove and floor Coughing and sneez-
ing, he and Lettie made frantic dabs
at the stove with spoons and shovel,
trying to remove the pepper, but their
efforts only spread it more thoroughly.
With every breath they drew in biting
fire.
Uncle Jerry and Prudence, fright
ened by the uproar, burst into the
kitchen, and with lightning response
to the all-pervading stimulus, Joined
in the general sneezing. At the same
moment Mrs. Penfield came flying
through the house and swooped down
upon her distracted family with ener-
getic command.
"Get out of the house, ev'rybody,"
she cried.
Jerry Winston sprang forward and
transferred the hot griddles to the
end of the stove. Mrs. Penfield
snatched towel, wet it under the
faucet, and held 1t to her nose while
she deadened the fire and opened the
windows.
The tortured family and the tor
tured guest fled to the back gard,
fighting the red-hot misery that clung
in their throats. breathing in great
breaths of the cool air that scothed
and inflamed at the same time.

OUTLOOK GOOD
{ SAYSQ! UAMME.
Eessimistic Vein of Three
Years Is Changed

Fargo, Feb. LAND prices have
reached bottom, lower interest rates
are in prospect, and there is a much
more hopeful outlook in the north
west than for the past three years.
This is the opinion Of r. G..
Quamme, president of the Federal
Land bank of st. Paul, expressed in
an address before gathering of
representatives Of the local farm
land bank organizations from all
sections of North Dakota, at their
annual meeting here today.
81 have been talking in a pessi-
MYSTIC strain for the past three
years." said Mr.. Quamme, "and l be-
lieve that conditions have borne out
our prophecies. We talked that way
because we knew the factors in the
situation
"Today however I am bringing you
a different message. There is good
reason to believe that land values
have reached bottom, and we are
again advising the purchase of land
because we believe that today it IS
good buy.
"Our present rate of interest is
5A percent and there are good
prospects for lower rate some time
this spring. l. will not say how much
lower"

institutions, and at present appears
to center more especially around
proposals for new buildings. AL
though there has been slogan that
there shall be no more new build
ings there are insistent demands
from institutional towns for appro-
priations in this respect. Another
proposal for economy is the elimina-
tion Of oil high school work from the
higher institutions of learning. j,
is contended by the State Taxpayers
association and others that this is a
waste of money, and that it results
in the state furnishing high school,
for local communities. The plan IS
defended by educators on the ground
thatNit provides teaching experience
for the boys and girls it is training
to become teachers.
Tie appropriations recommended
by the Budget Board were about the
same as two years ago, and it appears
doubtful at this time if there wills
be much reduction.
The economy question extends also
to the Scent fiat hail tax, which is
now used to create revolving fund
for the hail insurance department.
The proposal to repeal this tax has
both friends and opponents. Oppon-
ents contend that the fact that hail
warrants are selling virtually at par
and that farmers refuse to cash
most of the warrants until the taxes
are received with which to pay them
shows there is no crying need at
this time for a great fund. The 3
cent tax also is attacked as taxation

CREATE STATE
TAX BOARD
Montana Legislature Adopts
Tax Commission Plan

Helena, Mont, Feb. THE
legislature has enacted into law
the bill recommended by Governor
Joseph M. Dixon creating a state
tax commission. Under this law
the governor is empowered to
name net only the commissioners,
but also the secretary of the COM
mission and any experts it may
decide to employ. 1t also provides
that appeals from decisions of
the commission may be taken only
in the courts of Helena.
The two bodies of the legislature
now have before them two bills
affecting the prohibitory laws. One
would repeal the provision under
which physicians may issue pre-
scriptions for liquor and also
would tighten the state ilaw in
other respects. The second bill
would repeal all existing state
laws for the enforcement of the
18th amendment and leave it's en-
forcement entirely to federal Off
Gals.
Renewed effort to repeal the
presidential preference primary
law of the state met with defeat
by the killing of bill introduced
in the house with that purpose in
view.

WHITE WOMAN
RULES FAR-0FF
"LOST ISLAND"

San Frahcisco, Feb. News of
the discovery by an English sur
vey ship of lost island in the far
South Pacific where several hun
dred natives are ruled by white
woman was brought here last night
by Miss Ella Brown, who arrived
on the liner SANTANA. A Mrs. Sehal,
widow Of an Australian, Mrs. Brown
said, went to the island, which is
called Bardoo, years ago in the hope
that missionary work would serve
to assuage grief over the loss of her
husband and now she is recognized
as the high priestess and ruler. The
only white inhabitants of the island
are H. Bangkill, an English author
and his wife, and an Irish servant
woman. Bangkill went to the far-off
island to escape the hustle of the
world and to escape the hustle of
the South Seas.
