The governor of the state general
~ issues a proclamation for Arbor
Day, which will be the first Friday
in May, which falls on May 2, this
year. 1t is suggested that each
school district or school set out a
tree on the school grounds in memory
of each soldier of your district who
made the supreme sacrifice during
the World War. If there were none
in your district plant a tree in
memory of the unknown soldier.
1t is generally a cleanup day; see
that your school house is clean, your
school yard clean, your school
equipment in proper shape and place.

PHILOSOPHY
BY Uncle bud.

Uncle bud Says: "The fat man
usually gets by, but the fat girl
generally has a hard row to hoe
Women are demanding the right to
serve on juries; any man who has
ever done duty in that line will be
glad to give them the exclusive
privilege"
More hurry may mean less speed,
but at that most folks like to travel
in high"
An optimist is a fellow who can
smile when he gets berry seed
under his plate.
Most excuses are like boarding
house soup-too thin. And then
sometimes they are too highly sea
soned.
They are teaching phonetic
spelling in the schools, and some of
the articles submitted to this
publication indicate that the method
must be somewhat "phoney."
A man named Mower has just
been elected park commissioner of
an eastern city. If there is any
thing in a name, he ought to keep
the weeds down.
More people would travel success
fully down life's path way if they
would refuse to follow the numerous
"Detour" signs.
She was showing her husband
a new handkerchief she had just
bought and upon being asked what
she paid for it she replied, -Four
dollars" Geo." said hubby,
that's lot of money to blow in"
That well known slogan, 'Fewer
and better Babies" could be well
paraphrased by our legislature by
making it ''Fewer and Better Laws"
The school children had been
given a physical examination and
Johnnie came home with the report
that he had adenoids. His
mother asked him what adenoids
were and he replied, ooh, some
thing that grows in your head"
''You march right back there" said
his mother Indignantly, "and tell
them that you haven't any such
thing. Why | use a fine-tooth
comb on your head every blessed
day."
If your business is worth advertis-
ing advertise it; if ii isn't sell it.

give me a sentence in which the
word 'diadem' is used" Johnnie
thought a moment and then an
swered. "My dad says that people
who drink moonshine diadem sight

Bird Study and Audubon Society.

A great number of our teachers
are making an intelligent study of
the birds as they return from the
south This is a splendid thing to
do every Spring, even though our
course of study specifies that we are
to make a study of birds in the

They were turned by hand, the In
dams doing the work. This building
was held together entirely by wooden
pegs, nails being so costly as to be
prohibitive. This church has since
been remodeled into a hospital and
a new and more commodious build
ing has been erected. There is a life
size statue of Christ in this church.
1t is considered a work of art by
those competent to judge, and was
cut by Father Rayalli, so long To-
Gated at st. Mary's Mission in the
Bitter Root. This church probably
has some of the finest mural paint
ings that can be found this side of
the Mississippi.
These missionaries built the first
flour mill in Montana, cutting the
stones out of solid granite. For a
number of years this furnished the
flour for the Flathead valley.
The influence of this mission has
been the very best. 1t is their boast
that the Flatheads have not taken
the life of n white person, and
while other tribes were on the war
path, Strengthening settlers on every
hand, retarding and making danger
Gus settlement, the Flatheads were
peaceful and welcomed the settler.
The influence of this mission has

MISSION HISTORY
OF FLATHEADS
FIRST CATHOLIC FATHERS To-
GATED WHERE RAVALLI
TOWN STANDS
Indians Helped to Build First Church
in Which There Was Not a Single
Nail; the Missionaries Built the
First Flour Mill.

BY j. X. Squiers, of st. Ignatius
In the summer of 1858 Fathers
Hockens and Menetre, missionar-
les, came to the Rocky mountains
to establish a mission in the north
west. They were led through a
narrow defile of the mountains
near where the Northern Pacific
depot, Ravalli, is now located. This
pass was known only to the angels
and Indians.
This led them to a beautiful spot,
fringed with trees and flowers; a
mountain stream rippled through
this little oasis, which was sheltered
on all sides. Here the good fathers
built a little cabin and paid their
first devotion in the great valley OF
the Flathead. From this has grown
the finest institution of it's kind in
Montana and one of the best in the
northwest.
1t is bounded on the north by low
rolling hills, which flatten out and
merge into the level plain; on the
east NY tAS great MlSSlOu range, us
ing 5000 feet from the valley, the
upper part nearly perpendicular
rocky, craggy range. Along the base
of this range is some partially level
ground where are a number of small
lakes. Elizabeth lake and Elizabeth
falls, so named by General Thomas
Francis Meagher, are located east of
the Mission. These falls are 1000
feet high. They are known to tour
lists over the whole country. The
waters of them leap nearly a mile
over the mountain side. On the
are somewhat large, roll
ing hills. Here the government has
established a buffalo park where
ranges one of the largest herds in the
United States of these noble animals.
They can be seen grazing from the
Mission.
These missionaries built a church

THOMAS d. CAMPBELL, Hardin's
bonanza farmer, who has passed
n the big farmers of Canada anC
other places where large area are
farmed by machinery and farms g
larger area than any other agricul'
turist in the world, expects by 1925.
to be farming g. 5000 acres.
Mr.. Campbell was born in Grand
Forks, North Dakota, forty-two years
ago and ever since his childhood has
been engaged in the business of farm
ing-principally the production OF
wheat. He, while a boy on his ia
theirs farm, conceived the idea OF
applying advanced engineering to the
production of wheat, and followed
this purpose through the time spent
on his fathers farm at Grand Forks,
during his course in college and
afterwards in California.
1t was this knowledge of power
farming that undoubtedly caused Sec
rotary Lane to ask Campbell to go to
Washington during war times and
report to him in conjunction with a
representative of the interior depart
ment, the areas of land available for
the OIL wheat III the united
States as a war measure. After a
thorough investigation they reported
such rea to be in Montana. Prior
to this Campbell had arranged his
affairs in order to give his time to
the government and it was first
thought best to have him go to AL
geria and raise wheat on the dry
farm method in North Africa for the
Allies. In fact, this plan was practi-
cally decided upon by Andre Tardieu,
French high commissioner in Wash
ington, and Secretary Lane, but after
some discussion in Washington, it
was thought best to raise this wheat
in the United States, where men and
gasoline were available. AS a result
of many conferences and the ap-
proval of President Wilson, Secretary
Lane asked Campbell to undertake
the development of wheat on a large
scale on Indian lands as a war meas
ure, but while there were funds
available for every other purpose,
there were nc funds available for

cular period. One of the outstanding
features was the interest taken by
farmers, who made individual dis
plays of horticultural products, vege-
tables, grains and seeds, and in many
instances rural communities dubbed
together in making displays.
AS a result of the exposition a
greatly increased demand for local
products is claimed by exhibitors,
and there is now in course of promo
ton, a canning factory and a pack
ing plant, while a cereal manufac-
turer cannot supply his increased
orders and will be under the neces-
sity of adding to the capacity of
his plant.
Keeps Money at Home
Flathead county is sold to the
home products" idea, as 1t was
found that it helps to keep the money
circulating among the people at home
instead of sending it to the large
manufacturing centers, which pay no
taxes in Montana, and do nothing
for the upbuilding of the state.
The home products exposition has
come to stay in Flathead county, and
the promoters of the idea believe that
every section of the state could profit
by holding a similar exhibition, with
the necessary changes to fit the needs
of each local community. 1t is be-
lieved that the carrying out of the
idea in a statewide program would
do much to help solve the problems
of the state. Manufacturers from all
over the state will find a welcome
for their exhibits at future shows in
Flathead county, where next year it
is believed that exhibit space will
have to be arranged In the streets
during the summer months, as there
is no hall in the city adequate to
house the exhibits and the crowds.
