Dear Miss Flo
have been married twenty years.
My husband was poor man when
married him. By working hard. strug-
Cling and saving, we finally got a
start. After that, it was easy. My
husband made money quickly. He
made many business friends. He met
their wives and families. He was in

etc. | did not care for that sort of
thing. | thought it was wasteful to
squander the money we had worked
SO hard for on extravaganza pleasures.

end, have gained nothing. / am very
unhappy. During the years when we
were struggling in order that we
might have enough TO eat, we were
happy. My husband adored me. Now

q. ~ Z. ~ -s- Francine.
II Give him his freedom, Francine?
OF course NO. In the first place. you
are not sure that there rs another
woman--or that be wants his freedom,
so why should ydd give up everything
that you have worked and shaved for
all these years? Another thing to
consider, unless you are independent
financially, is that you might find it
rather difficult to support yourself.
If you doubt this, all you have to do
is look around you, and see the count
less number of women, past their
youth, trying to support themselves in
a world that has no use for their
services. At your time of life physical
comforts and an assured income are
more important than romantic love.
My advice to you, Francine, is to
stop worrying about losing your hus-
bands love and try to hold it. From
what you have written, | believe that

/ The measures are much the same il

| separate law which requires those who
have no commercial rating to make

A transient merchant is defined as

senting any other person, firm or cor
poration, who or which brings into

tail Is within the meaning of this act,
a transient retail merchant and such
definition shall continue to apply I'M
til such person, firm or corporation
shall BE- continuously engaged as such
particular place In the county for =
period Of one year.
Temporary premises within the
meaning Of this act, shall be construed
to include any house, rooming house.
store room, building or any part of
any building Whatsoever, tent, vacant
lot, freight station, railroad car or any
public or quasi public place temporar-
lily occupied for such business"
The law requires payment of Ii
cense fee for each week or fraction, to
be paid the county treasurer Of the

acted. In lieu Of license fee, If the

FAIRCRlEVES BILL
PROVIDES COMPENSA-
ton FOR DISABLED

During the last legislative session
House Bill 107, introduced by Alex
Fairgrieve, representative from Car
bon county, was passed and became a
law. This bill provides for a main
tenance allowance to disabled men and
women in training. The bill was passed
without a dissenting vote by both
houses and permits the State Bureau
If Civilian Rehabilitation to pay a sim
gle person in training not to exceed
$4,000 per month and a married person
not to exceed $4,000 per month. In no
case can this allowance continue for
than eight months. This is not much,
but it helps. 1t is decidedly better
than nothing at all. In the past many
disabled and physically handicapped
men and women could not accept the
services of the Bureau because thy had
no way to take care Of their living ex-
penses while in training. Usually
these people have little, but not
enough. With all or part of the al
lowance from the state added, most. Of
them, at least, should be able to get
along.
The Bureau of Civilian Rehab-
ilitation operating in conjunction with
the Industrial Accident Board, has
proven itself highly constructive
factor. Any person receiving compen-
sation under the new law may go into
any state institution and learn the
profession he has chosen, or has been
chosen for him, according to his physi-
cal qualifications. Lief Fredricks, Re
Mobilization agent for Montana says: |
"The cripples of the state should be
mighty grateful for these effective eff
forts in their behalf. The various or
CARNATIONS which helped can, on their i
part, feel that they have rendered
high social service and that the lot /
of hundreds of unfortunates will be
vastly improved because of their ac-
ton"
The law contains a number of re-
strictions designed to protect the ap-
from abuse. A person re-
.eiving enough from the Industrial Ac-
,ident Board, or from relatives, or
from any other source to cover his ne
csesities can not draw anything from
he Bureau. Minors, with parents able
20 maintain them, are also excluded.
These persons may receive free train
ng but no financial support.
The present law may not be all that
Gould be desired, but it is certainly :
big Improvement over the old. With
he activities of the Rehabilitation
Bureau increased and sympthetically
the Bureau is now in bet
er condition to render service to dis
Ibled men and women than at any
ther time since its establishment.
Rehabilitation is highly necessary
social factor and aids in
he restoration Of physically handi-
apped persons to economic indepen-
ence and usefulness, which helps the
tate and society as a whole.

A third law, a companion measure,

MONTANA HAS ROOM
FOR MANY HUNDREDS
OF new SETTLERS

Helena, May 4.---Montana has near.
lly 1000 acres in irrigation districts
and reclamation projects, records in
the office of State Engineer G. s. Hell
del show. There are 81 private dis
tricts, organized under the state ir-
rigation district laws, six projects I'M
der the federal Carey act, four under
the United Statm reclamation service
and three under the Indian service.
There is room, says L. A. Campbell,
director Of labor and publicity for the
state department OF agriculture, for
100000 families on irrigated land in
Montana for which water is available
but which has not yet been utilized.
The largest of the private districts
is the Toole county district, compris-
ing 286,O00 acres. The Crow Creek
district, in Broadwater county has g.
273 acres, the Lower Yellowstone pro-
ject in ASHLAND county, with 44,38l
is third in size.

pionship, according to word received
from the American Guernsey Cattle
Association. She produced 10,424.3
pounds of milk and 511.56 pounds of
butter fat during year and carried
calf at least 265 days during her test
period as is required in this class.
A concerted effort to cut down bloat
losses in Montana is being made by
county agents in the state. Most of
such losses occur during the months
pf May and June when pastures be-
come luxuriant and when cattle are
first turned out. 1t is believed that
trouble from bloat can be practically
eliminated if farmers will avoid turn
ing stock out on fresh west pasture
for the first time, will give them a
good fill of hay before allowing them
on new pasture, will start the stock on
pasture before the grass is too abun-
dant, will keep cattle on pasture con-
tinuously after they get used to it,
will give cattle access to salt at all
times, or will put bride and bit on
cows when turning them on rich pas
ture for the first time.
The progress of better farming in
northern Montana is indicated by the
recent purchase of three carloads of
duckfoot cultivators by farmers in
one community in Hill county.

By United Press
CHICAGO, April 2.-William ID.
Shepherd, former Indianapolis man,
suffered a setback today when
Judge Jacob Hopkins denied
second appeal for freedom on bail
pending trial on the charge OF muir
dering Billy McClintock.
Shepherd will be arraigned on
April 9, on the indictment charging
him with the murder of his million
aire ward.
William Scott Stewart, chief de-
fense attorney, announced he would
make motion to quash the indict-
ment Stewart also said he would
continue his fight to release Shep-
herd on a writ of habeas corpus.
1.-THE judges of the criminal court
have concurrent jurisdiction and I'll
go from court to court until I can
get a Judge to give us a hearing"
he said.
Bitter Debate
The courts decision in refusing to
free Shepherd on bail followed a
bitter debate between Stewart and
States Attorney Robert e. Grove.
Stewart presented numerous affi-
davits by persons who declared they
would not believe certain States
witnesses under oath.
Grove protested that these af-
! Afidav''s were incompetent and did
not have any bearing on the guilt
y Innocence of Shepherd.
Judge Hopkins ruled that Grove
- IS right and for the second time
refused to allow Shepherd his free
dom. AS result he will return
to his cell In the county Jail un-
til his trial is started or unless his
attorneys win in their future at
tempts to gain his freedom.
Shepherd appeared downcast at his
second defeat. He shook his head
sadly when Judge Hopkins declared
he found nothing in the affidavits
filed by Stewart to cause change
OF opinion.
Witnesses Attacked
Stewart concentrated his fight on
the credibility of the principal
witnesses for the State. An affi-
davit filed by Oscar McAdams. st.
Louis, attacks DIR. Charles G.. Fat
man, star witness for the State and
charges him with having been jailed
for murder in ST. Paul In connec-
zion with an illegal operation. The

of a massage parlor.
