 The relief society hopes to re- ceive contributions in sufficient numbers to make possible gift of candy, fruit, toys and wearing ap- parel 10 every child who attends. There is no fund created with which to meet this annual expense and the generosity of the public is depended upon to support the movement.

he worked all over Montana in its
territorial days and later when il
had become a state, and there are
few Methodist churches hat were
organized before the close of the
Nineteenth century in which he did
not work or preach.
Mr.. Riggin was the Oldest col
league of the Rev. Van Orsdel, and
up to the time of his death was the
Oldest surviving member of the orr
ginal conference embracing Utah,
Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. He
came to this field in 1872 and join
ed the Rocky Mountain conference
the year of it's organization. While
Van Orsdel was born near Gettys-
burg, Pa, Mr.. Riggin was born in
Baltimore, Nd, was educated in
Dickinson college, Carlisle, Pa, and
his first charge was the Fifth street
church in Harrisburg. He came west
to Minnesota in 1871 and on west
to Montana in 1872, the same year
that Brother Van" came up the
Missouri river. The two met in
1873 at Sheridan, Madison county,
at which time Mr.. Riggin was ap-
pointed preacher in charge of Vir-
ginia City and the Beaverhead circuit
with Brother Van" as his junior
preacher.
They travelled intimately together
for three years on this charge which
stretched from the Three Forks of
the Missouri river to Salmon City,
Idaho. This circuit they rode horse
back, preaching during the week
nights and holding services at the
different school houses and private
homes in southern Montana and
Idaho and holding revival services
continuously the first year from
October to March. At that time they
also held evangelistic services at
Helena, in the Deer Lodge
valley, up in the Bitter Root country
and in any locality where the few
that were gathered then
could be assembled together, usually
preaching at Virginia City and Sal
non City every other Sunday.
Mr.. Riggin held the services in the
towns and at the same periods Rev.
Van Orsdel would be occupying the
country appointments roundabout,
put his natural bent was for settle
nent work in the agricultural re-
sions. Their circuit, by roundabout
way, would probably reach from 800
o 400 miles in extent.

'nce held but one session in Montana

Important Business
This business of stirring up the
potatoes is more important than it
might seem at first glance. The in
~sistence of the potato on getting it's
winter sleep seriously has handicap
ped the potato industry in the. ne
cessary interchange of seedlings be-
tween the tropics and the northern
ATTITUDES. For instance, potato har-
vesting time in Maine is potato plant
ing time in Bermuda. The Bermuda
planters have found that northern
seedlings have greater vitality and
yield-but there was the business
of the long winter vacation. The
Maine potatoes, sound asleep, rOtted
in the ground. How to wake them
up and get them to work? The prob
lem was put up to DR.. VIM. Croker,
director Of the Thompson Institute.
By extended research, DR.. Crocker
found that a "shot" of ethylene gas
served his purpose. AS the ethylene
treatment is simple and inexpensive,
the hardy northern seedlings can be
put to work in the south hereafter.
A Button Trick"
The magic button trick is n
other mystifying turn in the ethylene
repertoire. In cooperation with
Frank E. Denny, of the United States
department of agriculture, DR..
Crocker has found the gas useful, not
only in ripening oranges and lemons
but in solving the old problem of
"dis-buttoning'' oranges. In Florida
the growers want the button off, on
account of their proximity to mar
kets. In California, they want the
button left on. DR.. Croker and
Denny have found that ethylene can
be made to play on either side. The
gas, properly manipulated, will rivet
the button on, and make California
happy, Or drop it off, and draw a
cheer from Florida.
