 The urge to concentrate the attack on La Toilette was voiced by MT. Stokes al q recent conference with William M.

Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Cummings an
nounce that by mutual consent the
engagement between their daughter,
Dora, and Edward Frank Green is at

mended by the stationer.
II the engagement was announced
only to intimate friends, the bride
should send each a brief note stating
that the engagement is at an end.

Explanation. Such an occasion as
this must have given rise to the pro-

A Rainy Day Game

Here is a good game for the child
rem OF a rainy day. Put about three
different things needed for a trip,
such as a clean handkerchief, brush,
slippers, toothbrush, clean collar, etc,
into an open suitcase, and pass it
around for the children, seated in a
circle, to examine for about 5 min
utes. Then close it, and let each one
write on a slip of paper as many of
the IS as he can remember. Points
might be given for each one remem-
bered, the child making the most
points being given some simple prize
as a chocolate bar.

A Young Girls Dress

In choosing her dresses the young
girl should study her own person
atty SO that every dress will add
charm to her figure rather than dis
tract from it. Her style Of dress, as
a consequence, should be distinctive.
This does not mean that she should
disregard fashion tendencies. But
she should take the best points from
the modern fashions and adapt them
to suit the individual figure.
For example, fashion says the very
short skirts are coming back. But
the girl who has the misfortune to
have thick ankles and too we'll de-
veloped legs, twill make herself un-
pleasantly conspicuous if she tries
to Guido modesty with fashion.
Some girls look better in a long
wasted dress, others in a dress with
the natural waist-line even higher
A fat girl should never wear hel
clothing tight, as that accents hel
unfortunate proportions. Loose, Ions
lines tend to disguise her weight.
A little study of her figure and tn
fashion designs will show a girl Othe
points. A thin girl, for instance, cal
wear fluffy, "fancy" things, wherea
a heavy or squarely built girls look
better usually in simpler designs
such as the tailored suit and dresses

cattle first, then if there is still a sur
plus we can use that to assist other
states in any way possible.
Boys and Girls Clubs
To reward the winners with worth
while prizes and premiums, is one
of the bjects of the boys and girls
club department at the Montana
State Fair, September 1927, but
those not so fortunate as to finish
near the top will be remembered.
One of the premiums, a $50 pen of
white leghOrns offered by j. R. Scott
Of Helena, will be awarded to the
boy or girl making the best exhibit
OF white leghorns, but winning the
least number of points in the regular
competition. Interest and effort on
the part of the exhibitor will be con-
sidered in placing this award.
Wheat Outlook Improves
The agricultural outlook in Mon
tana, particularly from the stand
point of wheat, improves as the seas
on advances, says J. c. Taylor, coun-
ty agent leader for Montana, calling
attention to the recent national and
international grain reports, which
point TO better prices for Montana's
bumper crop.
One of the most hopeful signs for
better wheat prices, says Mr.. Taylor
is that the world carry-over of grain
this year will be no larger than last
and this combined with a generally
duced crop in the Northern Hemis-
phere %variously estimated at from IL
to 20 per cent less than a year ago
indicates that the present quoted
prices Of $1.25 and $1.30 for fal
Grain will remain through the mar.
keting season and may possibly b,
improved. Prophecies must always
be rather uncertain, says Mr.. Tay
Tor and yet the reports which MAKE
things look so favorable for Montana
are obtained from the United State
Department of Agriculture and tn
International Institute OF Agricul
ture at Rome, two absolutely unbias
ed and unprecedented sources.
While Montana's wheat crop is es
timated in private sources at fror

A Broken Engagement

A broken engagement is always
embarrassing for both the girl and
the man. so their friends, if they arc
truly well-bred, will not ask ques-
tions and relatives will not demand
explanations. The obligations when
such a situation entails are unpleas-
ant. but this is infinitely better u
90 through the ordeal than to lace a
marriage which is certain to end IN
disaster.
At such a time the girl must have
the utmost dignity and selt-posses-
sion. She is not to make any an
nouncement or offer any explana-
tons. If a reception has been scneu-
Med for her as a prospective BRIDE.
her mother sends the guests Drlel
notes or engraved cards announcing
that the engagement has been brok'
on. The girl may confide in her IN,
innate friends if she wishes, but II
che is bitter or condemns her former
suitor in any way, suggesting tha'
he was not all that she had though
him in any way, she not only re

Baking Powder

For cake making, baking powder
should not work too quickly nor too
SLOWLY, and it should not expend is
strength while in the batch, before
the cake is baked. A well-balanced
baking powder gives off sufficient
gas in the cold mix, but does the
greater part of its work during the
first part of the time the cake is in
the oven.

in Montana. Mr.. Taylor reports that
from his observations, he does not
consider the statistican's figures too
high.
n drOuth conditions in Washing
ton, Oregon, parts Of Idaho and Cal
lfornla are all having a material eff
feet upon grain prices in the United
States, and the u~nfavorable condi-
lions in Canada and the possibility
OF considerable rust damage there is
further reducing the possible wheat
yield for 1924.
Mr.. Taylor points to the interest
ing fact that while the total spring
wheat yield in the United States
promises to be less than last year,
the amount of hard spring wheat
VIII probably be slightly greater.
This can be accounted for by the
TACT that the reduction will occur
IN the amount of durum wheat har-
vested. Similarly, while there prom
lses to be a reduction in winter
wheat, there will probably be more
hard winter, because the reduction
is entirely limited to soft wheat.
Thus, according to Mr.. Taylor there
is likely to be a slight increase in
available hard wheat, with a consid-
cradle decrease in soft wheat and
drums. This, however, is not ex-
pected to have a depressing effect
upon the market.

among other things, is the marketing

and handles practically 100 per cen
