@Dolling up Bit in Preparation For Company"
is Movement of Better Homes Week, May 18th
to 18th.

with probable production Of around
100000 bushels as based on esti-
mates of paintings, extension workers
see a good margin of safety for in
creased flax production.
1t is commended by those who have
been watching national and world con-
ditions that flax offers good safety
valve for the excess enthusiasm dis
played over wheat. The intentions to
plant reports Of the United States De
partment of Agriculture indicates a
probable increase in wheat paintings
of II per cent over last year. Since
it is not probable that conditions will
again be such as to maintain high
wheat prices, extension workers advise
that farmers Of Montana have an ex-
cellent opportunity Of dividing their
risk by placing more emphasis on flax.
That Montana farmers may safely in
crease their fax production is indi-
Gated by the fact that intentions to
plant reports show a slight decrease
in fax acreage for the entire United
States.

D is for danger
When crossing the street.
Look out for the traffic
And keep on your feet.
My Conduct on Streets and Highways.
There are four distinguished causes
of accidents. Three of these may be
laid to traffic. These three are steal
ing rides on moving vehicles, getting
off motor vehicles which are in motion
and playing on streets and railways.
If would closely observe and obey
all traffic rules, other people would
follow my example, thereby | could
prevent many disasterous accidents.
|, as pedestrian, should not, in a
crowded city or elsewhere, go rambling
through the streets in any direction;
| should keep to the right side of the
streets and go ahead. | should not
stop to converse with some friend.
Proper crossings are provided for Pc
destrians. Therefore, | as one should
make use of them and avoid jay-walk
ing.
The street car has the right Of way
so / must keep out of its way. 1t is
wrong for me to run into the middle Of
the street to wait for bus or street
car. | must never make blind or
an inconsiderate dash across the street.
/ must look in every direction to
see whether vehicle is approaching
If none is, it is safe for me to cross
the street. must help all those young
children and feeble old folks, who are
unable to cross the street properly.
and all other pedestrians should OBJ
tain and memorize list of the rules
and laws Of traffic. must never hitch
my sled to moving vehicle because
the rope connecting the two is liable
to break thus causing an accident,
|, ms a driver Of b vehicle, must give
the proper signals; sound my horn for
persons who have not noticed the APP
proach Of my car. ] must observe all
traffic rules and help the traffic po-
liceman to uphold them. must also
pay very strict and close attention to
all quiet zones. If ! am driving dur
ing the night time and see another
car approaching must dim my lights,
In this way | can prevent myself from
binding the eyes of the approaching
driver. | must never make my car go
beyond the speed limit. When getting
into car | must always get in at the
side nearest the curb.
If all the people will do as | promise
to do, many, many traffic accidents
can be avoided. 80

chievious httle niece, Trixie Coleman,
who was Miss Monica Plunkett. Tribe
really got away with murder" when II
came to playing jokes on the Deacon.
So clever was she, and so susceptible
was the Deacon, that the marriage be-
tween himself and Miss PIilapena
Popover, played by Ruth Davis, was
all but sidetrscked indefinitely. Miss
Plilapena's dreams did come true, how
ever, when the Deacon took her for
his bride in the last act, when the
several peirs of lovers also were all
happily mated at the country corn
husking bee.
Comments Of praise were heard also
for Miss Dagrnar De Bourg, who was
Yennie Yensen, the hired girl from
Sweden, Her actions and dialect ac-
eompanied by a fitting Swedish cos
tune We're IS good as the real thing.
The object of all her attentions was
Deuteronomy Jones, played by James
0bert, and who acted to perfection the
part Of the embarrassed country boob,
when Yennie openly made love to him.
Tho he had hts eyes on Trixie, he fin
ally yielded to Yennie's charms, who
thought So nf1cf of him that she was
willing to give her entire savings of
$1,000 for the hired man, when the
auction of the Raleigh ranch took
place. r.
Other characters in the play were
Amos Coleman, who was Adrian Mat
lila, nephew of the jolly Deacon;
Major McNutt. whose principal bust
ness was auctioneer and Justice of the
Peace, played by Roy Reed, Rose Ra
leigh, demure and charming sweet
heart Of Amos Coleman, who was
Katherine Makela, and Emily Dale,
the richest girl in town, played by
Viola Matilda. Then there was Raw
don Crawley. a villianous character,
ably played by Olaf Bue. All of the
characters were interesting and those
who took the parts did especially
well. With the exception of Joseph
Kent, nearly all of the persons in the
play are natives of Red Lodge or have
lived here many years, and the play,
for that reason, was of interest to
every one. Rehearsals for the play
covered only a short period of
two weeks, and the fact that it was
success is due to the ability of Mr..
Kent as d director and the talented
material which he was given to work
with.
Miss Monica Plunkett contributed
graceful toe dance between the second
and third acts, in which she wore
fetching little white costume A quar-
cite, composed Of Mr.. Kent, Roy Reed,
James ebert and Olaf Bue, sang sew
eral songs between acts, and Harry
Fritts, dressed in outlandinsh feminine
attire danced jig His graceful
figure was the envy of the city's flap

and half per cent, and this resulted
in = decrease in the price of butter
from twenty to twenty FIVE per cent.
And the price of butter let it be re-
membered largely controls the price of
all dairy products.
Same Juggling in Cotton
Last summer the cotton crop, par
ticularly in the southwest, was suf-
fering severely for lack of rain. And
then one day the heavens opened and
the rain descended. AS result the
government which before had esti-
mated the crop at twelve million four
hundred thousand bales, increased the
estimate to thirteen million bales. This
was an increase Of less than five per
cent in the yield. And yet, because bf
this estimated increase, the price de-
clined in the market twenty per cent.
This meant that the total crop of the
larger estimate was worth less in the
market by three hundred million dol
lars than the crop by the lesser esti-
mate.
Now there is no music sweeter to
my ears than the patter of rain drops
upon the roof breaking drought in
the summer time, and yet, to save my
life, | cannot tell whether that rain Is
a sweet and fragrant bearer of a ben
eft-or bankruptcy. When the hot
summer winds scortch the fields | do
not know whether to pray for rain or
to thank the Almighty for the un-
broken drought.
Something is wrong with our meth
DDS of marketing when the aggregate
money value Of a larger crop of prime
necessity lis smaller than the value of
q smaller crop.
