Hundreds and hundreds of othe
COLLINS kept the other magic ION
back, and the Fairy Queen, who ha'
left her magic wand at home, was
powerless to help them.
But there was one who had escaped
from the COLLINS and was after thu
runaway, and that was Tanto. VIII
leaps and bounds he was soon up VIII
the Goblin and the stolen bride, anc
when he came TO a tree that had over
hanging branches he caught az one
and swung himself so he could snatch
the red cap from the COLLINS head as
he passed.
Quickly dropping the stolen bride
the Goblin put both hands TO his head
but ii was too late. His cap had gone
and with 1t the power the witch had
given him.
Tanto placed the cap on his own
head and making the Goblin prisoner
he tool him back to the edge of the
woods and tied him to a twig.
He told the fairy bride to follow, but
to hide until he called to her to show
herself to her husband. Then Tanto
crept up behind the captive Prince
and slipped the cap into his hand.
The Prince knew at once what to do
and while his captors were busy chat
tering he put the cap on his head and
called TO the witch to appear.
Up from the ground slowly came the
old witch. Bring forth the n who
stole my BRIDE" said the Elin Prince
to Tanto, and when the Goblin was
brought the Prince commanded the
witch to change him into a long
legged creature that would always be
on the run whenever anyon came
neal.
The witch did not dare disobey, for
the Elfin Prince had the rel cap upon
which she had cast the magic spell,
and she feared that he might work
harm to her.
With IA wave of her magic stick the
Goblin disappeared. and over the
ground ran IA long-lpgged creature that
is now called %granddaddy longlegs.
Then the Prince called for his bride
and the wedding feast Went IN, while
the COLLINS, who now were terribly
frightened, ran away in all directions.
The Prince flung after the long
legged creature the rel cap, which
changed into Il toad when it touched
the ground and quickly hoped out of
sight.

THE

L THEL is in itself a name, but it
II has so many sufixes as to seem
almost a syllable itself. 1t is another
of the Teutonic names which signify
noble, and is derived from Aethel, the
same prefix, which in High German,
is Adal, from which comes ADELAIDE.
The early feminine form of this simple
little name was Aethelthryth. An
other, less complex, was Ediltrud.
Teutonic and Morse tradition seem
to merge somewhere along the course
of Ethel's history, for the splendor of
the Valkyr fingers in the name. 1t
was popular among the women Of
those early times because it signified
the ideal of the period when
"a resolute will and a strong hand
were woman's best title to respect" as
one writer puts it. Nowadays, Ethel,
shorn of her complexities, suggests a
fluffy feminine name rather than a
Amazonian ideal.
Saint Aethelthryth was a queen OF
the Amazon type who must have been
g very uncomfortable sort of wife and
who finally retired to a monastery. She
was canOnized as Saint Ethelreda. Her
sanity name has come down to us
with a small degree of popularity, but
Ethelberta and Ethelfreda are much
the favorites. Ethel is the most preva-
lent of all and stands alone as an in
dependent name.
Alberta and Albertine are regarded
as other Offsprings of Ethel.
Ethel should wear an agate IL she
wishes happiness and success. Accord
ing to its promise, it will bring her
the desire of her heart, give her cour-
age and a dauntless will. Thursday is
her lucky day and 4 her lucky number.
The wild rose is her flower.

Homes in America

The total number of homes in the
United States, not including homes on
farms, was II, 100000 in the year 1920,
according to figures recently issued
by the census bureau at Washington.
OF this number 7,195,0OO, or 1919 per
cent, were owned by their occupants,
and of these 2,855,0 or 1877 per cent,
were mortgaged. The total amount of
these mortgages Is estimated by the bu-
reau to be $4,000, 900, 1000, while the to-
tai value of the homes is placed at
$4,000, 5000. The ratio of the in
%debtedness to the value is 1873 per

MONTANA CORN CROP
100000 BUSHELS

In estimates that were available
some days ago it was revealed that
the greatest percentage increase in
any crop for the year 1928 over pre-
vious years in Montana will be in
corn.
Last year we produced somewhat
less than five and one-half million
bushels.
This year we will harvest exceed
ing eight million bushels. The Mon
tana farm review that has just been
issued by the state department of
agriculture gives the production of
corn in the state by counties. This
crop is now raised in 80 counties.
The first successes were, we believe,
in Rosebud. Yellowstone and Custer,
now several others are pushing up to
the figures attained by the pioneer
corn section. Following is the pro-
duction of corn in bushels by count
les for the wear 1922:

once upon a time an Elfn Prince
~ fell in love with a fairy, and the
Queen of the fairies gave her consent
to their marriage.
All the magic folk were invited, and
to make the wedding more beautiful
all the butterflies were invited also.
Now, 1t happened that n large
blue and black butterfly had once been
a Goblin, but an old witch, to reward
him for some favor he had done, gave
him the power to change his form
whenever he liked.
The Elves and the COLLINS were all
ways in a dispute, and never had been
friends, so when the Blue Butterfly
Goblin heard of the wedding he at
once determined to go and make all
the trouble he could.
The Elfn Prince had one friend
among the Elves that was very fond
of him, and while the wedding was
taking place, Tanto-that was the

Taking this corr production for the
year 1922 and the estimates for 1923
two facts are outstanding. First the
figure set forth, and a glance back
ward through recent years, establish
IS that this is NOT an experiment, a
transitory crop. Second, it has al
ready reached proportions So that It
is easily considered one of the firm
foundations of agriculture in the
state.
Besides corn is a profitable crop
whether the yield is used for forage
