WOMAN dies in OREGON

The Herald is in receipt this
week Of a letter from j. w. Work
ing of Eugene, Ore, telling of the
death of his mother, Melissa E.
Working which took place at Eu-
gene on March 18. 1t is probable
that Mrs. Working was the first
white woman to make Wolf Point.
her home, coming here with her
husband and two sons in 1876.
The husband and father, Jacob.
NJ. Working, was a millwright en-
ployed by the government to
e e c a sawmill 0 n t h e
Missouri river at Wolf Point.
The sons, J. w. and C. F. paid
Wolf Point a visit three years
ago this summer and expressed
much interest in the changes that
had taken place since the time
they had played with the Indian
children on the banks of the Mis-
souri,. Regarding their mother
Mr.. Working says:
melissa f. Milestone was born
near Augusta, ILL.,, Nov. 2, 1913.
On November 10, 1865 she was
married to Jacob NJ. Working.
They lived at Augusta, ILL.,, until
1876 when they moved to Wolf
Point, Montana. They returned
to Illinois in 1877, afterward go
ing to Missouri in 1881 and to
Garden City, Kansas in 1885. In
1907 they went to Oregon to live
and there she passed away at Eu-
gene on March 18, 1926. Her
two children C. F. and J. w.
were with her when she passed
away, going as she had lived
quietly and peacefully.
"Our mother was the first.
Methodist to live in Wolf Point,
she having been a member of the
Methodist church almost all her
life. 1t was through her efforts
that the first church services were
held in Wolf Point, Mr.. Mathews,
the school teacher acting as the
preacher. I believe mother, at
the time of her death, was the old
est living white person who could
claim early day residence at Wolf
Point. One Of our regrets is that
Father and Mother could not have
Wolf Point before their
passing away, for many are the
times they have talked over their
experiences while there"

have clothes to make a decent APP
pearance while looking for work.
The next step in expense cutting
hits the wife, too She does not eat
so much. The husband must have
plenty Of food in order to do his
work. She won't stand for skimping
the children. But she will reduce
her own diet almost 10 the starva-
ton point.
Il don't think this is boorishness
or s%elfshness on the part of the men.
1t is simply the way life is organ
lied. But it is unjust to accuse wo-
men of being a set of vain clothes
racks.
There Are Limits
This bureau almost daily receives
requests for figures on an American
standard of living. We can't say
what 1t ought to be. But we can
show the applicants what the stan
dard is, as disclosed in this survey.
One notable feature of the compila.
ton is the way the percentage of ex-
penditure for food goes down and
that of clothing goes up as income
increases. There are certain limits
on food below which one cannot well
drop. Also, the miscellaneous item,
includes pleasures and i'm
provement, goes up rapidly as in.
come increases.
But the proportion of expendi-
ture for the wife's clothes in refer
ance to her husbands stays about
The same through all the grades of
he survey. She spends less than he,

CZECHO AND OSCAR DANISH

GION-BLOCK PROGRESS

(By Dan B. Noble, Co. Agent)
Czecho Russian Thistle and Os-
car Wild Oats were found guilty
on eight counts that are contrary
to laws of progressive practices of
Roosevelt county and were given
a minimum penalty Of $50 years
Punishment to the Island of Shot
gun Methods where they could
adopt such speculative types of
farming and gamble with the ele-
ments as they desired, was the
penalty handed down by the jury
in the Court of Progressive Prac-
tees in session in connection with
the annual meeting of the Roose-
Welt County Farm Bureau held
last Tuesday. This was M Of
the most important cases of its
kind ever tried in the county and
a great deal of evidence was
brought out by the prosecution
who called a number of well-to-
do and progressive farmers on the
stand and determined the definite
and successful practices that had
been responsible for increasing
their earning power and living
standards and were doing a great
deal for the development Of the
county as a whole.

almost entirely on humanity,

scorned the methods being adopt

Women spend less for clothes
than men, says Ethelbert Stewart,
commissioner of the United States
bureau of labor statistics in Wash
ington. And he proves it with actual
figures on family budgets gathered
in a survey of - .096 families.
This does not refer to people
with great incomes who are in So
'ciety or trying to climb in" he says.
"Our survey deals with wage earn
ing people. whose incomes range APP
proximately from $500 to $500 a
year. But they are the great ma
iority Of people. This class includes
the largest number of housewives.
And if one is going TO generalize

Now, what do the cold figures &C
tually show? In all families within
the limits of the survey, the average
annual expenditure for clothes was,
husbands. $71.3S; wives, $685.. This
ranged from incomes Of less than
5000 with husbands spending 1891
and wives, $3O.59, to incomes a little
beyond $500 where husbands spent
S96.05 and wives $85.72.
Averaging the entire survey, the
expenditure for clothing is IS per

companies expenditures of SO per

and ) per cent for fuel and light.
The average total expense for all
these families is S1434, with an aver

 Another $10o.000 he left to the Young Mems Christian association Of Illinois.

 ABOUT DISASTER
Gasoline Explosion Evidently
 Wrecked Lincoln

Norfolk, Va. Dec. 21 PNThe first authentic story of the destruc- tion by fire. after an explosion. of the cost guard supply schooner Lin- coin, six miles southeast of Cape Lookout Saturday morning. was re- ceived here today by radio from Olaf Leveson. boatswain's mate, the third man rescued out of crew of eight. Little hope for the five miss ing men is held.
 LevcSon was picked lip by the Clyde Line steamer Seminole after having drlfted 4S hours in a small boat from the Lincoln. Bits of his story were flashed by wireless to Coat guard headquarters here.
 We smelled gasoline all of Fri day night and suddenly a blaze broke through the bulkhead," he said.
 "The ship burst into flames al- most immediately. Every bit of her seemed to be burning. The odor of gasoline still was strong. The flames shot up into the riggins and there was apparently not a foot of the ship that was not on fire.
 Men rushed for the boats, all but Boatswan A. Burlington, who was in command of the schooner. He was last seen on the burning ship. l do not know what became of him.
 T saw one man jump into a boat which filled rapidly with water. saw him either jump out again into the sea or he was washed out by 8 wave.
 From my boat I saw the Lincoln burned to the waters edge. Then everything was black. Her hulk sank below the surface of the waves"
 The dory in which Leveson was found was weighted down with lead. The boatswain was said to be in good physical condition despite his experience.
