"All right" said Mickey. Gall right,
Mister Smarty Longtail. do as
you like. But if don't dig tun-
mel for you to crawl through and
get into the park for nothing, you'll
have to pay your way at the gate
and you won't have any money left
for either lemonades or merry-go-
rounds. So now"
ooh. can go through one of our
old tunnels said Flop airily.
"No, you can't" said Mickey. "The
grounds soft and they've all caved
in. Besides we always fill them up
partly so Mister Zip doesn't see
them"
II was only fooling, anyway" said
Flop. II didn't mean it. Come on.
Here's good place to dig. Right
outside the fence"
And almost before you could say
boo the little mole boy began to
scratch and dig with his little shovel
paws, and disappeared, hide, hair
and all, right down into the ground!
1t didn't take Flop Field Mouse long
to follow. The last the Twins saw
of him vas his long tail. Finally
that disappeared, too.
When Flop and Mickey poked their
noses out into daylight again under
the roller coaster in the park, there
stood Mister Zip waiting for them.
"Ten cents apiece, please" he
grinned, holding out his hand.
Flop and Mickey looked sheepish,
but they paid it without word.
All their quarrel for nothing, mind
you!
Most quarrels are.

Before l could do this, however,
heard Jack mention my name to Sgd.
and then in torrent of words he
told him the whole story. ..
Evidently Sydney Carton did not
say word until Jack had finished;
then I heard in the most contemp-
tuously sarcastic tones, these words:
"Jack, l have always known you
were fool, but it never entered my
head that you were such an utter
damn fool as you have proved: your
self to me by the conversation that
has just taken place!"
But, Sgd, can you not see Leslie
has put me in terrible position?
If this matter should get out
would never be able to hold up my
head again."
"And yet you threatened her,
Jack"
"Oh, I didn't mean it; neither does
she mean what she said to me-"
II rather think she does," said

INTIMACY WITH NATURE
By F. II. WALKER

[KTHEN troubles come, which are as
W much a part of earthly life rs the
leaves on the trees, or the blades OF
grass. go forth at every available OBJ
%portunity among those wretched hui
mans who are less fortunate than you,
crowded in narrow city streets or iso-
lated in out-of-the-way places in coun-
try lanes, and compare, if you can, their
conditions with yours.
If you win do this with your vision
unblurred and take accurate note of
everything you see, you will find by
comparison that whatever your hard
ships may be. you are but n of the
worlds thousands who are bearing the
heavy cross, the common heritage of
mankind.
Through the clouds which have been
lowering over you for days and weeks,
you may among these burden-bearers
see a rift of sunshine in your own dis
nal sky and return from your brief
tour of observation a far more patient
man or woman than you were when
you started.
nl-luck, broken fortune, disappoint-
ment, affliction and trial cannot be
overcome by counting, coddling and
keeping them ever at your elbow.
To get away from their depressing
and injurious influences you must turn
your back upon them, seek a new at
mosphere in new surroundings which,
without your suspecting it, will gradu
ally unchain your imprisoned self and
enable you to regain your former free
dom and light-heartedness.
When time is out of joint, cares OPP
press, wealth takes wings and old
friends snub and turn their backs
upon you, seek closer intimacies with
Nature.
Take solitary walks among the silent
hills. in the Swallowed woods and
among unfrequented paths where wild
flowers lift up their lovely faces and
the birds chirp in gladness- unmindful
Of lurking enemies.

A FOLL0W-UP PLAN
FOR mont. MONTH"

(By Louis A. Campbell, Chief-Divis-
ion Of Publicity, State Department
of Agriculture.)
Helena, Dec. ia follow-up
plan in harmony with the program of
the State Land Settlement Advisory
Board adopted at their recent in Hell
ena and which will take advantage of
the big montana Month" advertising
campaign, is being formulated by the
state division Of publicity. Part of
the plan includes the organization of
county advisory committees to be APP
pointed by the board and a detailed
method of answering inquiries on
Montana opportunities which will re-
suit in effective land settlement. AL
so a method of raising a statewide
advertising fund that can be used to
finance a well planned and carefully
directed publicity program to keep
the Montana Month" movement I'M
der way and give the state an oppor-
tunity to receive the greatest benefit
from the work already accomplished.
Montana Month" will establish
confidence in the possibilities for
farming and industrial opportunities
in this state and will probobly at
tract a good many inquiries from
other sections. 1t opens the door to
more intensive follow-up plan that
will give attention to the little things
details. that will finally decide whet-
her or not the man who makes in
curry actually comes here as a sue
cessful home builder of whether he
is attracted somewhere else. Other
states have their advantages which
they are giving emphasis at this time
in an attempt to attract new settlers
and montana Month" is only the
forerunner Of a long time program
that will continue to keep Montana's
competitive advantages before the
public and will result in a gradual
and permanent land settlement move
ment if effectively followed up.
Ask most any average Montana
whether or not the state needs
more people and his immediate ans
wer is eyes" but he hardly gets the
word out Of his mouth before he
qualities it with the remark that,
montana doesn't want a wave of
new settlers who come in promis-
cuously and stay long enough to lose
all they have, going on to newer
fields and leaving nothing behind but
the wreckage. We want every man
who comes here to be permanently
successful if it is humanely possible
to bring this about" This near a
statewide service with county con
that has for its main detectives
he gathering of detailed information
IN all the little things that settlers
ask questions about; selection of aP-
1~licants for farms so that only those
qualifications to succeed will be
.iven encouragement; placing set
lers on lands economically adapted
o the type of farming in which they
ire interested; and a service that will
lelp the new conner to feel at home

MONTANA RANGE &
LIVESTOCK REPORT

Weather during November was
quite favorable for Montana live
stock in that it permitted a large
amount of grazing on lower ranges,
conserved feed supplies, and brought
needed moisture to dry areas in the
western part of the state with the
thaw that set in during the third
week Of the month, according to re-
ports received from stockmen
throughout the state by J.. G.. Dia-
mond. Agricultural Statistician for
the Montana Crop and Livestock Re
porting Service. Present outlook IS
considered favorable so far as the
feed situation is concerned.
Ranges: Condition of ranges on
December 1 was placed by stockmen's
reports at 90 per cent Of a normal
compared with 90 a month ago and
on e cent a year ago. The improve
ment compared with November l
was largely due to the continued mid
weather during November and the adj
di+in of moisture from November
tbaws to some west central and wes-
terri sections where earlier dryness
had been noted.
Cattle and Sheep on Feed
In sections of the state where win
ter feeding Of cattle and sheep has
been develping in recent years there
D to be a considerable increase
in numbers of sheep and lambs on
feed. but with less cattle being finish
ed compared with last year. Esti-
mated numbers of cattle, sheep and
lambs on feed as of December LIST,
this year and last year as follows.
Cattle this year $1,000 head or 20 pei
cent less than the number on feed az
this time a year ago; sheep, $4,000
head or 10 per cent nor than the
number on feed a year ago and lambs,
$1,000 or 30 per cent move than the
number on feed a year ago.
The bulk of the cattle and sheep
on feed are in the Billings district al
though total includes those in some
northeastern and southeastern locali-
ties. Lamb and sheep feeders IRE bet
ter financed and price are more en-
~couraging than is the case with cat
tie feeders and helps to account for
increased feeding of sheep and lambs
as against the decrease in cattle on
feed, another factor is the case of cat
tie being the absence this year of
larger cattle feeders who were
operating q year ago.
While there is less corn available
for feeding this year, there is a larger
81 best pslp, grain and other
concentrates compared with last year,
while supplies of hay throughout all
Of the feeding sections excepting
principally in the Beaverhead coun-
try appears likewise to be somewhat

operators, appears nevertheless to be
attracting the smaller operators into
the feeding game, our general infor-
nation indicating an increase this
