CONFERENCE ASKS EMERGENCY
FUNDS FOR WAR ON HOPPERS

''FrOm an educational standpoint,
the conference on the grasshopper sit
uation in the northwest was a win
ner," were the words employed by
r. A. Cooley, state entomologist of
Montana, in expressing his opinion of
the meeting held in Great Falls to
study the grasshopper menace, as well
as methods of eradication of the pest.
Delegates were present from many
of the states of the northwest and
from Canadian provinces. From as
far north as the city of Edmonton,
Alta, came Prof. E. H.. Strickland Of
the department of entomology of the
University of Alberta, and E. McDon-
ough of the department of agricul-
.ture of Alberta. Other Canadian rep
resentatives at the conference were
w. H. Fairfield, superintendent of the
Dominion experiment station at Leth-
bridge, and Howard Seamans of Leth-
bridge, Dominion entomologist.
The conference was called to order
by Alfred Atkinson, president of Mon
tana State College of Bozeman, who
was chosen to preside over the delib-
erations of the melting. Howard Sea-
mans of Edmonton, Alta, was elected
secretary.
Following the opening of the con-
ference, reports were heard on the
grasshopper situation from the vari-
GUS states and provinces represented.
The purpose of the conference was
briefly stated by R. A. Cooley, upon
whose suggestion it vas called.
Cooperation Necessary
The grasshopper menace, Mr.. Cool
stated, has grown to such proper
lions, and given evidence of such in
creased danger for the future, that
agriculturalists, business men and ed
in the entire affected area are
becoming aroused to the necessity of
aking aggressive action to check it.
t has become an international ques-
ion, as the hoppers are migratory by
and one area may become in
ested in spite of all it can do if the
in the adjoining territory t
efuse or neglect to take any action {
o eradicate the insects. The losses
hat have been caused by grasshop- 7
ers have been large, and the cost OF
radication has been proportionately q

'Ooley stated. e

Montana Stock ON Market

Charles 0. Robinson & Company's
range report contains the following
item of interest to Montana stock
men:
"Our sale of 80 head of good
horned Montana steers, averaging
1875 pounds at $685., vas the high
est quotation, with the exception of
one steer, in the same shipment, that
we sold at Sill, averaging 1880
pounds. These cattle were from
around the Highwood mountain
country, which shows they certainly
have good grass in that part of the
state"

Quoted efficient campaigns against
the grasshOppers, the representatives
at the conference stated and while a
large expenditure of money has been
needed for this purpose they stated
that their government is willing to
make further appropriations to COM
plete the job. They were confident
that the campaigns have reduced the
grain losses in the various provinces
from the Pacific to the Atlantic, and
expressed their hope that the states
will adopt a systematic method of
grasshopper warfare in the future.
Grasshoppers travel hundreds of
miles during the season, necessitat-
ing a uniform program by the entire
country, on both sides of the interna-
tiOnal border.
The Canadian provinces have what
Mr.. Strickland termed, responsible"
government, which gives certain Off
Gals of the province power to expend
money in an emergency such as was
brought about by grasshopper visi-
tation there. This feature of the Can
adam government made it possible to
proceed with some method of hopper
eradication without waiting for legis-
lative action on the matter. The need
of similar legislation in this state was
urged at the conference. Dean F. B..
Linfield of Bozeman stated that "the
legislature of Montana, should pro-
vide some emergency measure where
by such matters could be taken care

BE CHEERFUL

NEVER worry because you are Ill,
~ or because you fear sickness
Eaay lie before you.
Complaining only aggravates an all
E0ent, but philosophical persons, who
bear the burden of illness smilingly,
lave less suffering and usually find
the shortest path to health.
No one is immune to every form of
illness. One may pass through life
year after year and decade after de
cade without suffering from injuries
or sickness But sooner or later his
tarn will come.
Certainly every precaution should
be taken to prevent contagion or acct
dents, and it is encouraging to know
that the death rate in the United
States has been greatly reduced in
recent years. Everyone has good
cause for rejoicing that the percentage
of deaths from disease in the Ameri-
can army during its participation in
the World war was insignificant in
comparison with the rate per thousand
IN 1898.
But, even with all the discoveries

AT YOUR WEDDING

n FTEN it really seems as if the
~ least important parsonage con-
nected with the preparation for a
large and festive wedding is the
bridegroom. For one thing, strict so
cial usage says that a bridegroom
should not see his bride on the day
of the wedding until the ceremony or
Immediately before 1t, so usually he
remains at his own home, or a guest
at the home of friend or relative of
the bride if he is marrying young
woman in another town, until all
preparations for the wedding have
been made. If any last-minute ar
rangements relative to the sending
of luggage have to be made, they are
attended to by his best man, who is
veritab2e go-between for the bride
groom and the brides family on the
day of the wedding.
Before the day of the wedding the
bridegroom-to-b should make inquir-
les of his bride concerning her bou-
uuet and that of her attendants, for
it is the privilege Of the bridegroom to
order these. He should never do it,
however, without first consulting the
bride, as the choice would naturally
depend somewhat on the style of her
wedding dress and the bridegroom's
flowers would decidedly depend en-
tirely on the color of their frocks. The
brides bouquet and the bouquets of
all her attendants had best be deliv-
cred at the home of the bride the
morning of the wedding. but the bride
groom should see that each bouquet
bears one Of his personal cards.
Unless the bridegroom is married in
the suit in which he wishes to travel
later, he remembers to send to the
home of the bride suitcase contain
ing his travelling suit and various
dressing accessories. The bridegroom,
as we'll as the bride, makes special
point to dress for the departure in
an inconspicuous manner and would
therefore lay aside the dress clothes,
light gloves, etc., for get-up more
suitable for travelling.
Before the wedding the bridegroom

The pillow has been set to work lay
ing electric-light cables. A cast-steel
implement for deep blowing was
adapted for the purpose, and with a
small force Of workers the pillow in
stalled 1000 feet of single. lead-cov-
cred cable in one day.
1t was fitted with a clamp to hold
the end Of the cable, and a gasoline
engine, with a drum, was hitched to
the drawbar The cable was pulled
along beneath the surface Of the
ground by the plowshare, so that, as
the pillow proceeded the cable was laid
in the trench made.
The company making the experiment
attained a still better record when the
pillow was pulled by more powerful
gasoline engine. Application of the
device is limited to use in city parks
or in suburban installations where
cable has to be strung across a large
lawn. The outfit can be hauled any.

BEULAH

DEULAH is one of the oldest and
- most sacred of the religious
names. 1t means married" and is the
contracted form Of the title Land Of
Beulah.' AS an allegorical name, it
was prophetically applied to Israel
in Isaiah: ''Thou shalt no more be
termed Forsaken; neither shall thy
land any more be termed Desolate !;
but thou shalt be called Hephzibah
and thy land Beulah: for the Lord
delighteth in thee and thy land shall
be married"
When the vogue for religious names
passed at the outset Of the Twentieth
century, Beulah suffered temporary
loss of popularity. But of recent
years, it was thought sufficiently
quaint and old-fashioned to undergo
revival. Among the deeply religious,
of course, it has fiourished uninter-
ruptedly, being handed down from gem
GRAFTON to generation to insure the per-
petuation of its heritage. It is regard
ed as an especially lucky name and
one which promises material, as we'll
as spiritual, riches.
Coral is Beulah's talismanic stone.
It will bring her bodily health and
give her great wisdom, according to
an ancient legend. But it must never
be Clipped or broken if it is desired
to exercise its magic powers. Friday
is Beulah's lucky day and her lucky
number.

Brown Bear Lay Watching Stars"
sigh was soft and full Of music and
1t often lulled Little Brown Bear to
sleep.
But tonight Little Brown Bear was
not sleepy. So he just lay quietly
watching the stars wink and twinkle
through the tossing branches and lis
tening to the pine tree signing in the
wind
II wonder what makes the pine tree
sigh" he said at last to himself.
He lay quiet a little while longer.
Then slowly and as quietly as a
clumsy little brown bear can move he
got up and walked out of the cave.
what makes the pine tree sigh?
he asked Of little worm that glowed
in the dark.
But the little worm was stupid and
could not help Little Brown Bear.
Little Brown Bear heard a whir
above his head and he looked up and
saw bat flying about.
Hello, bat," he cried. "Come down
here minute, will yeh2"
That bat few down and lighted on
a bush by the side Of Little Brown
Bear.
''You ought to be at home and in
bed said the bat, who was old.

Bear, $50 ought YOU"
No, always stay up at night" said
the bat. you see, I sleep all day"
We'll, don't be cross. please" said
Little Brown Bear ''f want to ask
you question. What makes the pine
tree sigh?'
The bat listened. The pine tree
close by was tossing its branches back
and forth and was signing softly.

mast"
Gloomily Mrs. Penneld stared after
him. She still had no idea what sort
of business he was trying out, as he ex-
pressed it; certainly she could not I'M
derstand why any business whatever
should call him out of town on the
chief holiday of the whole year.
The zest of the dinner was gone for
her, but she exerted herself, that the
children might not notice. And they
did not. Never before had they had so
wonderful a feast. They would live
on the memory of it for many days
rather more literally than anyone sup
posed at the time, too. Roast ducks
and potato, gravy, squash, rice pud-
ding with raisins! And all the time
the tree waited for them to come back,
reckoning to them with its soft, tinsel-
hung boughs and gay festoons Of pop
corn and shells.
Lettie, slightly numb from repletion,
hunched down on her table-box and
fixed her black eyes solemnly on Mrs.
Penfield's face.
"What're you thinking of, dear?
Aren't you full?"
FULL" Lettie left it at that, with
entire adequacy. "What was think
ing of was last year and the swell feed
7 got. I had some mOldy bread and a
piece Of bologny that / fished outa-"
"Oh, Lettie, Lettie!" broke in Mrs.
Penfeld compassionately. 'T'n never
be thankful enough that Crink found
you"
"Neither'll be, you bet your front
doormat! Jimmy, it's great to live
grand like this"

of clouds. 1t was degrees colder, and

The bat thought moment. Why,
it's the wind that makes the pine tree
sigh. Goodnight, Little Brown Bear. :"
"Oh, wait minute, said Little
Brown Bear. 81 want to ask you
more questions. Why does the wind
make the pine tree sigh?''
"Oh, because it does, snapped the
bat, getting cross, for he wanted to
be off on his nightly travel.
Eyes, but why does it?" still ques-
toned Little Brown Bear, not at all
satisfied with the answers.
well, / guess it is because it hasn't
any fur coat or comfortable cave to
sleep in. If you hadn't any, maybe
you would sigh, too" said the bat, and
off he flew.
Little Brown Bear was all alone.
The wind had blown the clouds until
the stars were hidden. The pine tree
sighed louder and louder and then the
other trees began to sigh, too.
Little Brown Bear thought of his
cave and his mother and off he shut
fed for home and snuggled down in
his bed of leaves close to his mother

sleepily. IF / didn't have nice fur
coat and a nice cave to sleep in, I
guess would sigh like the pine tree. ;"
what are you talking about?' asked
his mother, but Little Brown Bear was
fast asleep.

A pipe smokers
challenge to
other smokers
Is there a smoker in the
audience who can
answer this one?

Nearly every smoker is particular
about the kind of tobacco that goes
into his pipe. While he may smoke a
pipeful from a friends pouch for the
sake of companionship, for day-in-and-
LAYOUT smoking he prefers his own
brand.
And yet if you ask the average
smoker what it is he likes about his
tobacco, he may have difficulty in
answering you Immediately.
Mr.. Joe Rivers, whose letter fol-
lows, is a confirmed Edgeworth
smoker. In attempting to describe
what he likes about Edgeworth, he
coins, the word "tasty-smellfulness. /"
But as this does not entirely satisfy
him, he puts the question up to other
Edgeworth smokers.
Larus & Brother Company,
Richmond, Va.
Gentlemen:
Being pipe smoker of no mean expert
ence (having tried most pipes and pipe to-
baccos) I've watched your smokers let
tiers in the magazines for some explanation
of a taste that for me applies only to
Edgeworth.
tits extremely difficult to describe this,
because it seems to come as the smoke
filters through the mouth and nostrils at
the end of a draw from the pipe sort of
combined tasty-smellfulness . that most
satisfies the smoke appetite.
Why don't you get some of your smok-
ers who can write, to describe this?
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Joe Rivers
