!. If He Remembers
/. BY DOUGLAS MALLoCH

r KNOW how men will praise him,
L. know
How great the honors he will bear;
Still but a boy, l see the glow
OF many laurels he will wear.
Foreyermore before his eyes
Straight down his path a beacon
CLEANS;
1 know the height he will arise,
If he remembers Mothers dreams.
1 know how men will come to him
In quest of counsel in their need;
The way Of life is often dim,
And feet will stumble, hearts will
bleed.
Bat he will wisely speak and well,
A shepherd heart to countless herds,
Yes, he eternal truth will tell,
If he remembers Mothers words.
1 know how other men will find
In him example, seek to be
AS clean in heart, as pure in mind,
OF equal faith and honesty.
He shall have strength when men are
weak,
And consolation in his cares,
Know where to turn and where to
seek,
If he remembers Mothers pray'rs.
1 know-yes, even should he fall,
Should ever stumble into sin,
Temptation lure him, after all,
l know the height he yet will win.
One thought will save him, one that
can:
He will rebuild his wasted years
One thought will make him yet a man,
If he remembers Mothers tears.

ADVANCE SCHEDULE
INCREASED POOL
MONTANA WHEAT GROWERS
ASSN MAKES LARGER
INITIAL PAYMENTS.

The recent comparatively steady
increase in the price of wheat, due
to the world shortage, is reflected in
the publication of a new and higher
schedule of advances by the Montana
Wheat pool according to word re-
ceived this week from the Lewistown
headquarters of the Montana Wheat
Growers Association.
According to this announcement,
the Montana wheat pool maintains a
regular official schedule of the
amounts it advances to its members
on delivery of their wheat to the
pool. The schedule is five cents higher
in the eastern division of the state,
east of Havre, Roundup and Billings,
than in the western part, on account
of difference in the freight rates to
the market. This schedule is gov
erned largely by the current market
price on the various grades of wheat,
and changes within certain limits.
with that price.
Consequently when the market adj
vanced, as it has advanced during the
past several weeks, the official
schedule of pool advances was raised
accordingly. Today pool officials
are advancing ninety cents per bush
ell on number zone Hard Spring"
and number zone Dark Northern
Spring" in the eastern Montana dis
trict, and eighty five cents on the
same grades in the western district.
This is an advance of five cents over
the previous schedule on this grade.
The advance on number Gone Dark
Hard Winter" in the eastern dis
trict, is eighty-five cents, and in the
western district, eighty cents. This
is an advance of ten cents over the
previous schedule on this grade of
wheat.
These advances, the statement ex-
plains, are only the initial payment
of the pool members, made when the
wheat is first delivered. The balance
of the price is paid to the members
at various times during the season,
ending with a final payment when the
pool closes in the spring, that brings
the final price up to the average for
the season for the grade delivered.
This arrangement is followed by all
of the cooperative pools, and it has
a very helpful arrangement
to farmers who do not want to sell
the early market, but who need
ready cash to carry or their opera
tions.
The steady increase in the wheat
this fall is going to prove the
opportunity for the greatest advance
ment of the wheat pools, say pool
members, because it will enable the
wheat poolers to sustain the average
price upon a higher level than here
The outlook, they say, is bet
,er for the wheat pools than it has
sver been before.

LIFE OF LINCOLN FILM
ONE OF HIGH MERIT
Private Showing Reveals Directors
and Cast Have Achieved Real
Character of Emancipator.

Before a large and distinguished
company "The Dramatic Life of Abra-
ham Lincoln" was shown for the first
time in Washington last night in the
ballroom of the New Willard Hotel,
under the auspices of National Press
Club Post, No. 90, American Legion.
The private showing precedes an en-
gagement next week at the Metro
politan Theater
Other LincolnS have been presented
on stage and screen which attained a
high order of dramamtic and 1nspir-
ing art, but none more so than this
depletion under the direction of AL and
Ray Rocket. George A. Billings as
Lincoln filled the best conception of
the civil war President, both as
young man and in maturity. The pic
ture begins with the birth of Lincoln.
In all the scenes, notably in the love
passages and in the soul wringing ex-
periences of death and war, the act
ing is admirably restrained. Lincoln
is the gawky type, outwardly, that he
has been recorded as being, but the
droll humor and the inner fineness are
brought out with right emphasis and
telling effect.
Specially good work was done by
Irene Hunt as Nancy Hanks Lincoln,
mother of the President; Ruth Cliff
ford as Anne RutIedge, Lincoln's
sweetheart who died; Nell Craig as
Mary Todd, who married Lincoln;
Westcott Z. Clark as Thomas Lin
coin, father of Abraham; William
Humphrey as Stephen A. Douglas.
William Moran as John Wilkes Booth,
Walter Rogers as Gen. Grant, James
Welch as Gen. Lee, Willis Marks as
Secretary Seward. and other roles
were most acceptably filled.
The audience last night gave strong
approval of the picture.

him unpopular at the time. With
other Tories, he fed on a British
warship and is believed to have re-
turned to England. For his services
in the colony he was created a baro-
net by George III.
But his heart evidently remained
with the Maryland colony to the end.
He was married to a sister of Lord
Baltimore, son Of the founder. Short
ly before his death he returned to
Annapolis, but the townspeople paid
little attention to him. He died and
was completely forgotten.
Location Proved Puzzle.
Interest in his career was revived
by the Maryland State Historical So
ciety and a search was started for
his grave. 1t was found that there
found in family Bible which indi-
Gated that he had been buried under
church in the hamlet of Winchester,
near Annapolis, long since in ruins.
Even the location of Winchester
proved a puzzle for a time, since
hamlet and church at last were dis
covered by Attorney Daniel II. Ran
dali of Baltimore. Part of a wall of
the church still was standing to guide
started and a brick vault was found
under the church. This was opened
and was found to contain human
bones. A number of Baltimore physi-
clans were called to identify these
bones, if possible, and finally it was
decided to call DR.. Hrdlicka.
It is believed other vaults will be
found under the church, one OF which
will contain the bones Of the old gov
ernor. DR.. Hrdlicka was able to de-
duce from the crumbling skeleton
that its original owner was a woman
of thirty years, excellently built and
probably a belle of her day
