FLOWER FUND PROVIDES

STOCKHOLM, February 1S.-Happy
homes for the living instead of flow
ers for the dead, is the aim of the
Swedish Flower Fund" drive that has
just scored its first signal triumph in
the laying of the cornerstone of q
large building designed exclusively
for the aged and infirm, who other
wise might have to end their days in
the poorhouse.
The idea Of such fund was
launched about four years ago by
Miss Alma Hedin. sister OF Sven
Hedin. the explorer, and now, thanks
to many small contributions in lieu
of floral tributes at funerals, enough
money has been procured to guaran-
tee the financing of the first building.
Others will be started later.
The first will contain 50 suites of
one and two rooms with kitchen. For
% of these the rent has been fixed at
$40 a year and for the others the
rates will be determined by the cost.
The tenants will be people who can
not afford to pay regular rents, but
who wish to avoid humiliation of
seeking their final homes in public
institutions.

What TomouowMeans to You

BY MARY BLAKE.

klSCeS.
In order to guard against disap-
pointment, to avoid differences and
to eliminate useless pickering. it is
most essential that tomorrow you
exercise more than ordinary self
control and make, whenever the oc-
casion may demand it, an effort to
restrain impulses that. If yielded to.
may lead to regrettable speech or ac-
ton. The aspects are disconcerting
in their nature and fail to register
any propitious or favorable indica-
tions 1t were better to mark time"
but still keep in step while doing SO.
Business worries will assume a pro-
portion out of keeping with their In
trinsic Importance and household
cares will be unnecessarily burden
some. BY maintaining poise and not
losing ones head. the worries will be
minimized and the cares dissipated.
The birth OF child, at a time
when such untoward conditions pre-
vail, will not necessarily affect either
it's physical or its moral future. On
the contrary, the signs clearly indi-
cate that, save for a few minor all
ments during infancy, 1t will be
physically healthy and strong. Its
disposition will be generous and its
character reveal strength, tinged
with obstinacy. 1t promises to be
studious and will, undoubtedly,
possess more than normal intelli-
gence, finding greater pleasure in a
good book than In the fascinating
fields of sport or recreation. Con-
slant association with children OF its
own age will benefit it's nature and
help to destroy the reclusive habits
that it will otherwise acquire.
Is tomorrow your birthday? If so,
1t can be very reasonably assumed
that you are often cropping in the
dark to discover why fortune has not
smiled more benignly and more fire.
quently on you and your efforts
Self examination will reveal to you
that. although not lacking in average
Intelligence, integrity of purpose and
great ambition. you have not travel
ed as far as you think you should
have gone on the road to your ulti-
mate goal-the one that you have
often tfsualized but have not realized.
C.oser and more searching introspec-
ton will convince you that the prin-
cipal factor that has mftfgated
against you and your opportunities
has been sluggishness OF perception
and the ever-present tendency toward
procrastination. Quick Judgments.
based on impulse or intuition, often
invite results quite different from
those anticipated. Decisions unduly
delayed, or action unwisely post
poned, as a consequence OF ultra
conservatism and timidity, cause in
action or lack OF progress.

ADDITIONAL TRAINS
ON GREAT NORTHERN

That the year 1925 will be a seas
on of travel is evident from the plans
Of the Great Northern road and the
advance business said to have been
booked by it. After June LIST No.
1, the westbound Oriental Limited,
will run in two sections. The first
section will be a solid Pullman train.
The second section will be made up
about as at present. This will take
care of the heavy summer raffic and
give the greatest possible conven-
fence to tourists and other through
passengers.
To meet the needs of the various
summer conventions and excursions
it is said that more than sixty spec
ial trains have already been chart
cred. 1t looks as if the efete East
had decided to come out and look
us over and learn just where the
West begins, and why.

SURVEY OF FARMING
PROSPECTS in 1925
NEW BOOKLET BY WILSON AND
SELBY REVIEWS AGRlCUL-
TURAL OUTLOOK

With the establishing of the SER
vice to give farmers in Montana and
Roosevelt county sound information
in what to expect in the way OF
production and demand for the crops
which they raise a year or more IN
advance, which naturally will give
them an idea of what to expect IN
the way of prices when the crop is
marketed, the Montana and county
extension is establishing a service
that should be of inestimable val
ue to them. This will give the farm
er who takes advantage of this SER
vice a chance to plan his farm pro-
gram and his crop acreage and live
stock production to avoid the satu-
rated market condition which inevl-
tably means a low price for his pro-
duct and balance his production on
products that are less likely to be-
come over supplied.
The more farmers who take adj
vantage of this information and
make practical application of it the
more it will tend automatically to
lessen production of over-produced
crops which action always works IN
the direction of a higher unit price.
New Booklet
The Montana Agricultural Out
look for 1925, a publication produced
by H. E. Selby and M. L. Wilson,
the latter being recognized as one
of the leading economists of the ma
ton, gives in a clear and practlcal
way information on the production
of Montana's basic commodities and
eliminating weather, disease and in
sect conditions. which cannot be pre-
dicted with accuracy for any long
period in advance, gives the farmer
a sound idea as to what to expect
in the supply of their crops and the
demand for them when they are
ready to be put on the market.
This information, as it is utilized
by the farmers of Roosevelt county,
will tend to reduce the hazards of
farming and tend to avoid the cal
antilles caused by increasing pro-
duction on over supplied crops. 1t
will increase and aid the diversified
program by encouraging farmers to
produce crops and livestock products
that will give them the best returns
when they are marketed. And it
will tend to decrease the continuous
one-crop farm acreage, the special
lied acreage, which is so susceptible
to foul weeds, injurious insects and
plant diseases and, fortunately or
unfortunately, it will react favorably
toward the farmer who does not
make use of the information, as the
ones who do will tend to decrease
production on over produced COM
modities.

Operation On Eyes
Proves Successful

Mrs. John VOORHEES, underwent a
delicate operation on her eyes at
Minot last week that will prove en-
tirely successful, it is believed. The
specialist diagnosed the disease as a
rare one. The normal eye has an
inlet and an outlet but in Mrs. Voor-
hees' case the outlet of each eye
had become closed and it was only a
question of time until the sight, al
ready impaired, would be destroyed.
An operation was the only remedy.
Incisions were made in both eyeballs.
Mr.. VOORHEES, went to Minot to be
present during the operation.
