serted her, though she did not show
it, she was afraid Of this man; 1t
seemed to her that there was some
underlying motive in all he was say
ing-that he was just leading up to
a point which had been forming in
his mind ever since their meeting
in the train.
Seton shut the door again and
walked over to the fireplace.
"Will you listen to me for a mo-
ment?" he said. presently He did
not wait for her to speak, he went
on:
MANY a man gets into difficulties
through no fault Of his own. There
is no disgrace in getting into diff

drive for more library books. Each
week the supply Of books is ex-
hausted. There are not enough
books to go around. Children who
desire to read good literature
should not be denied the privilege.
The need for proper reading
matter among the children is well
illustrated in an article appearing
in the Kansas teacher for Novem-
Der. 1925. This article says in
part:
"Happy is the individual who
in the course of the educative pro-
cess develops a taste for reading
and a passion for good books.
Such an individual fares forth on
an endless voyage Of discovery.
Reading, which as a beginner in
school he found to be a task, is
now a pleasure. an escape from
the humdrumness of life, a strong
tower of refuge in the days Of adj
versity. Through reading he en-
larges his acquaintance with life.
learns to people his world not
only with the men and women
with whom he comes into actual
contact, but with the great char
acters of fiction who are of pc
rennial youth and matchless con-
stancy. Through reading he wins
the comradeship Of great f~ictional
characters whom he will come to
know more intimately than the or
binary flesh and blood characters
of everyday life.
Through his books he will come
to know all human experiences
and all human motions. NJ mat
ter how humble may be the read
er's position in life, no matter
how remote he may be from the
marts of the worlds of commerce
and the centers of human activity,
the best of the worlds experience
and the noblest of the worlds
thoughts are his for the asking.
If he be a true reader, he will not
envy the modern Croesus with his
money bags for he will know that
in his books will be found far
greater riches.
Gle will be happy in the con-
viction that he possesses an init
mate acquaintance with the good
and with the great of all ages,
that the essayists have wise reve-
Iations to bequeath him, that the
poets have honeyed lines to sing
to his ears, and that the great
novelists are ready to take him by
the hand and lead him into strange
lands and among people of past
ages. He who generally loves

Awake had a perfect attendance
eecord in the sixth month and only
5 cases of hardness. This is a fine
record for such a large school.
Warmbrod showed a big improve
ment with only two absences re-
ported and 5 cases of hardness.
In town sickness caused much alb
sence. Miss Lees room had a per-
feet tardy report. Mrs. Wigtil
had but one case of hardness. The
third grade had six absences.
These records show that children
can get to school by 8 o'clock if
they try to do so.

Time To Convert Your
Government Insurance

The United States Veterans
Bureau is urging that all honor
ably discharged soldiers, sailors,
and marines take immediate steps
to reinstate their war time insur-
ance and convert it to one of the
six level premium plans of gov
eminent Life insurance.
One of the six forms of gov
eminent life insurance, viz, ordi-
nary life, twenty payment life,
thirty pay life, twenty year en-
dowment, thirty year endowment,
and endowment at the age of 81,
issued in amounts ranging from
S1,OO to $4,000 will fit the needs
of the individual e~x-service man.
Government life insurance is
free from restrictions as to resi-
dence, travel, occupation, military
or naval service.
1t carries may attractive pro-
visions, such as the permanent
total disability clause, and liberal
cash loan, and extended insur-
ance values. Dividends are pay
able annually and during the past
five years the annual dividends
have equalled the amount of n
monthly premium. All veterans
of the World War, who have al
lowed their war time insurance to
lapse, are urged to communicate
with C. T. Busha, Jr., regional
manager of the United States
Veterans bureau, Helena, Mon
tana, for full information and
proper forms for reinstatement
and conversion. A special section
has been set up to handle the
large amount of correspondence
being received daily. They r in
a position to furnish accurate in
formation relative to the insur-
ance rights Of any ex-service man.

Playground Equipment Needed
The Wolf Point schools need
more playground apparatus. Mr..
Livingston says: Dozens of chill
dren stand around at recess with
nothing to do. Marbles are a
poor pastime and the school au-
thorities hope to find a better sub
stitute by April 1. The making OF
useful citizens begins with the
shaping of the youth of the ma
ton. Nothing plays a greater
part in the shaping of child-life
than clean, wholesome fun. The
school ground should be equipped
with sturdy, practical playground
equipment that forms an outlet
for youths pent-up energies. The
annual upkeep of the United
States prisons is $20,000,00 and
the amount invested in them is
$500, OO0,00 Compare this with
the sum of s9,30O,O 600 invested
by sos cities for playground
in 1922. Decide for
yourself which is cheaper, crime
or character. The local school

TOUGH FLU EXPERIENCE

VIM. Mindeman was in from
his place eight miles north Tues
day, the first time since his i'll
ness. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Minde-
man suffered a serious attack Of
flu and were without assistance
four or five days before a neigh
Dor. Ambrose Bauer, happened in.
1t was a tough experience and
shows the need of rural phones
in that community. Nj. Mindeman
was so weak he was unable to
properly take care of his cattle
and lost a valuable cow as a re-
suit.
