 l seized upon my mother-in- laws suggestion with avidity, toss Ing her a grateful and comprchend- ing glance as l did so. I,well knew that she had proposed my return ing to the farm so soon solely be- cause of her desire to spare me further discussion with Edith Fair fax of the girls unexpected plan 10 return North as soon as she could safely leave Leila.
 What nonsense" little Mrs. Durkce said hosnitably. "Of course, you and l, Mother Graham, are Go- ing 10 catch the next train into town, but there's no reason why Madge cant stay with the girls for a little visit. Why, see how early 1t is,"
 Edith and Leila promptly sec ondcd her argument, and l knew ahat Leila was sincere in the invi- tation. But l also knew that Edith Fairfax would draw as deep a breath of relief when she had seen he last of me as would l when I had turned my back upon tho house that held her, and I was adamant to all their urging.
 You might as well save your breath to cool your broth" Mother Graham struck in. When Mar Garct makes up her mind to any thing you might as well try to move tho old Medes and Persians. But she's perfectly right in starting this early as l told her just now. Don't forget though. Margaret"
 There followed a string of in- Functions concerning the repairing and packing of the clothing she had left with me. to which I lis. tened as gravely as if she had not given the whole list to me before we left the farmhouse. But I was so grateful to her for her sympathy altd resourceful aid that I would have listened as partiently if the lis1 had been ten times as long.

 Glad, indeed was I, however when. the last item checked ant the last bye spoken, we rolled away from the ,4s-elee home, Mar ion on the seat with me and Katie proudly taking care of Junior 1T the tonneau. l felt that I could no have endured talking common places to Edith Fairfax another minute. and in half that time I ha! resolved to put resolutely aside an! speculation concerning any ulterio meaning in her sudden change O plans.
 The resolution was wise one Indeed. I could have done nothtnt else, for we scarcely had left tn gates of the Durkee home befor' Junior, Marion and Katie-Kati' the most infantile child of tn three--began to ply me with excited questions concerning the picnic had promised them.

 SLEEP

Do you know how much sleep your child should have?
 Most parents. like the Manns of Anytown, do not. have any particu- lar schedule. The child goes to bed as early as they can get him and sleeps as long as they'll let him.
 But medical men have studied out the question and here is a chart you can iot down and refer to if ycu wish to run the family life on schedule:

 This is discarding the theories of Miss Turner or of an intruder from outside" Ezra Goddard summed up. thoughtfully.
 "Ycs, sir, and I do discard them, I've thought over that nurse, but she never would have shot and then turned on the lights. In the dusk she would have run away"
 You can't affirm that so posi- lively" Kent said; nor can you give up the idea of an outsider merely because l didn't see him make his getaway. Of course he would have disappeared silently and in the darkness of the shrubbery, and I'd stand small chance of sec ing him at all."
 Dobbins looked uncertain again. The man seemed to have little in- itiative - yet he was rated a good detective. But. as he had said, this case presented so many possibtli- ties, had so many sides to it; and Dobbins was an earnest inquirer rather than brilliant deducer.

 sanguine of nature, the detective went off and went straightway to the home of Dolly Fay.
 That young person sat Tn a swing on the lawn, and with 8 word of greeting Dobbins sat down beside her. .7

 This flippancy irritated the arm of the law, and he scowled harder at her.
 Be careful, Miss. Have you aever heard of contempt of court"
 "No-what's it mean?"
 Tt means that if you treat light Ky the inquiries of detective yot are liable to fine and imprison mcnt."t
 Dobbins found it was necessar! to take strong measures with thu difficult chit.

Corn Acreage in Norh

Approximately 100000 acres OF
corn, an increase of nearly 40 per
cent more than last year, will be
planted this year north of the Mis-
souri, river from the continental div
ide to the Dakota line, said ]. G.
Taylor, state leader of county agents,
who has made a survey for the Mon
tana State college at Bozeman.
Mr.. Taylor bases his estimate on
data gathered from farmers, county
agents and seed dealers in the Is
counties in the northern part of the
state.
Corn growers must keep in mind
the seasonal handicap in Montana"
said Mr.. Taylor, "as records kept at
Williston, N. D., for SO years, in ter
ritory which is comparable to nor
thern Montana, show that there are
only 1872 frost free days. In that
length of time there were 10 years
in which the frost free period was
less than 100 days.
Corn must have 100 days or bet
ter, and breaks will come, so our adj
vice to Montana farmers is to stick
to the earliest maturing varieties.
In the year 1908 there were only "A
frost free days, and one year like
that would spell disaster for Mon
tana corn growers. They must get
their seed in early and up to the goth
of May is the best time. Farmers
who plant now stand the best
chance"

LIQUOR LAW

After eight years of alcoholic
dryness the province of Alberta
woke up wet May IL. Last Nov
ember the voters of the province
decided to substitute government
sale of liquor for prohibition,
which was voted by the people in

lowing year. The act adopted in
November was proclaimed to be eff
fective May IL.
Since the government vendor
announced the prices for the well
known brands, there has been con-
siderable complaint from the pop
ulace to the effect that the govern
ment is profiteering. Beer will
cost the consumer $4.15 a case of
two dozen pints, delivered. The
price of beer by the glass has not
yet been settled.
Vendor stores where hard liquor
is sold will be located in more than
20 towns in the province. The
hours are from 10 m. to 8 %. m.
with no half-holidays. Purchasers
must hold a permit, which costs
$500 for year, or $1.O0 for the
purchase of beer only.
Special permits are provided for
transients. Spirits may be kept in
the room of hotel il the owner
is bona fide guest. Certain clubs
are allowed beer licenses under the
new act.

Flax and Corn in Phillips

Registered alfalfa growers in the
vicinity of Miles City have increased
100 per cent over last year, it was
announced by C. M. Warrington,
county agent, who has just COM
pleted the lists of those who have
faith in the crop as a moneymaker
for the district. Powder River coun-
ty leads with so growers, Custer is
next with So, Garfield has 22 and
Rosebud 10.
The Aliens at Coalwood and the
Glib brothers at Purewater each
have about 500 acres and are the
largest growers of registered Grimm
in the region. Many of the new
growers are planting small plots of
five and 10 acres this season and ex-
pect to increase the acreage next sea-
son.
Most of the new alfalfa is being
planted in rows with corn planters
where there is no irrigation, as no
new implements are needed for it's
care. The regular corn cultivator
can be used to care for the crop.
Mr.. Warrington was in Hillcrest We'd

strat1ng ways and means of planting
and caring for alfalfa.

important strikes in the north

to strengthen the belief that the
Kevin-Sunburst is one of the great

tapped at a depth of 1914 feet, and
the production, on flush, is the
largest of any we'll yet drilled in

BACK OF MALTA AFFAIR
is HOMESTEAD TRIANGLE

Nance Spence, who was shot three
times by Mrs. Senie Jones on the
Malta ranch where Miss Spence was
a housekeeper, is reported improv-
ing at the Sacred Heart hospital in
Havre.
Mrs. Jones is in Jail under charge
of assault with deadly weapon with
the intent to do bodily harm, or as
sault in the first degree. She has
been placed under $4,000 bonds,
which have not yet been furnished.
A telegram has been received from a
firm of lawyers in Newport, Tenn,
stating that Mrs. Jones is highly re-
garded in her own community and
that they stand ready to furnish
bonds, and that they stood ready to
do anything for her.
r. H. Jones, known as Tennessee
JONES'" came to Malta about 10 years
ago with couple of negroes. Two
years later he visited home, return
ing with Miss Spence to act as house
keeper. All three concerned in the
affair deny that Miss Spence is a
niece.
The strange thing about it is that
both women are of a good type, Mrs.
Jones being described by those who
have seen her as a splendid woman.
Miss Spence has many friends among
her neighbors. There seems to be
more to the affair than has yet come
to light.
Mrs. Jones rode in from the farm
where the shooting occurred with the
gun in her hand, broke it once,
found one shell, and on arriving in
Malta, wanted the chauffeur, Thorn
as, to get, her some more shells. She
claimed that she lost 800, which
was in tobacco bag, in the shuttle.
She started from home with 5000.
Her fare here was $85, leaving her
very little after the loss. She is 45
years old.
