Oh. such a feast he had!

Oh. such n feast he had!
But the man came back to his
Ice cream stand and found Kink
there
Naughty Kink So Rink was
kept In his cage in the ZOO for
three whole days and was just like
any Of the other animals. Oh. 1t
was very hard punishment
And when they let Kink out
again he told his keeper, with his
expressive little eyes, that never
again would he steal ice cream!

SCHOLARSHIPS FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS
BY CHARLES II. POTTER
State Club Leader

1"HE winners of the various boys
and girls club enterprises car
ried on in Montana during the
past year were awarded scholarships
in the various Montana institutions
for higher education. There were
eight major club projects carried on
in the state in 1928 and first, second
and third place in each project was
awarded four, three and two-year
scholarship, respectively. The win
ners were as follows:
Bread club-Elsie Ferguson of
Danvers, Lorraine Matschenbacher
of Nashua and Helen Sawyer of Har-
din.
First canning club-Effie Bow of
Outlook, Nina Sharp of Rosebud, and
Vida Crane of Ismay. Second can
ming club-Edith Sanderson of Bill
ings, Eunice Mcdonald of Hardin,
and Bernice Robinson of Moore.
First clothing club; Viola Hansen

Second clothing club Martha

Corn club-Yukana Baylor of Bay
Tor, Lorne Piercy of Bainville, and

son Island, and G. LaYene Fairbanks

Hardin and Max Matejcek of Lewis
town.
There were 1920 club members in
the state last year divided among
264 separate clubs. They did bust
ness amounting to $53,727.43. Since
each club member is required to keep
an accurate report of his business it
is found that the cost of carrying on
the club work was $22,012.90, leav-
ing value above cost of $31,714.53.
Among the club members were rep
resented 33 counties, 80 commune |
ties and $500 homes in all parts of |
the state. There were 900 acres of |
land devoted to club gardens, corn |
and potato growing, with an average
per acre yield of 81 bushels of corn,
l29 bushels of potatoes and $135
worth of vegetables. Club members
also fed and managed 1886 head of
i've stock, including poultry, valued
1t $20,776. Bread club girls baked
1882 loaves of yeast bread, 5,607
1ozen quick breads and PIG dozen
breads. Canning club
girls canned 1858 quarts of fruits,
meats and soups; dried
,87 pounds of fruits and vegetables,
ind preserved 152 quarts of other
GODS. In the clothing clubs, Mon
ana girls made 1847 garments and
lats, and 1910 other articles.

WILL HONOR RED
RIDERS OF PLAINS
ALBERTANS TO CELEBRATE THE
FOUNDING OF NORTHWEST
MOUNTED POLICE
Fort Mcleod Was Established in
1874, When All Western Canada
Was Wilderness; Mcleod viii
Celebrate Jubilee.

All the romance of the great
west OF 80 years ago will be recall
ed at the jubilee celebration of the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police,
which will be held at Mcleod,
Alberta, this summer, for which
preparations are now being made
by the united public bodies of this
famous frontier town. 1t was in
1874 that the vanguard of the
j Mounties reached the spot where
Fort Mcleod was establishes 1t
was then bald prairie, the home of
the Blood and Piegan tribes, the
haunt of the buffalo, for these
monarchs of the plains had not dis
appeared when the Red Coats be-
gan the construction of the log de-
tachment.
Great transformations have taken
place in that span of so years. The
government still maintains the old
post but it has lost it's old-time gla-
NOR. With the coming of civiliza-
ton much of the picturesqueness has
been destroyed, and today only a
handful of men are stationed at the
post, perhaps the most famous
Mounted Police post in the west.
Mcleod citizens are proud of their
town, the oldest town in Alberta.
They are proud of the traditions of
Did Fort Mcleod, and they are going
% make good use of the opportunity
% live again for few days, at least,
he life that was enjoyed before the
wire fence came in.
1t will be a roundup of the famous
orce from all quarters of the globe.
There will be pageant, Indian war
lances, horse racing, stampede events
md roundup dinners, dancing and a
list of other stunts carrying the
lower of the west of long ago. The
own council, the board of trade, the
organizations and the r. G.
4. P. veterans organization are all
nited in the undertaking.
There are several men in Montana
yho served with the Royal North
rest Mounted Police, including Col.
ames T. Stanford of Great Falls. |
olonel Stanford, after receiving his
onorable discharge, came to Mon
ana, and became identified with the |
Z. G. Baker company and Conrad |
rothers. He is now at the head of |
ne Conrad bank of Great Falls and |
ne Waller irrigation project, as we'll |
S number of other undertakings.
