OUR INHERITANCE.
We are not the makers of the Chris
tian home; we have inherited it,
When we came into this world we
found ourselves within its care and a
beneficiary of its life. When our
fathers came they were in the same
situation and merely passed on to US
what they themselves had received
As we go farther back the Christian
nome energies as merely the injection
of new spirit into an institution in
herited from an earlier day. Push our
way back as far as we may and homes
still dot the social landscape. Even

Gods earliest gift to society after He
had inbreathed life. Before an altar
fire was lighted there was home
Before government had risen there
was home. Before laws were framed

too hoary with centuries to reveal it's
first stopping place in earth, too vital
to care where that place might have
been. Out of it has grown all gov
eminent and all society; every relig-
ION has been Graded within it and
every other institution has been born
IN its embrace. Such is the position
the home holds in the life of men. It
is as old as He and as wide as the
race.
Individualism has become a cult in
America. With civilization fash
Toned under frontier conditions and
still dominated by frontier ideals, in
dividualism is still inevitable. We
glory in the achievement of the lone
figure struggling against adverse
fate and refusing to accept defeat.
The individualistic spirit appears in
our criminal tendencies that shock the
world and surprise all other recorded
areas. For the criminal is an indi-
vidualist pure and simple. His own in
terests outweigh those of all the rest
OF the world. But with all our devo-
ton to it it is f@ke assumtion and
an outworn philosophy. For TIE In

Man alone or woman alone is unable

sity.
OUR DUTY.
What shall we do with our inheri-
lance. 1t comes into our hands as
an institution that will be passed on
to others after we have finished our
own connection with it. Evidently our
duty involves the improving of it so
that the inheritance will not be i'm
poverished by our touch, butenriched.
And we are in the midst of quite new
situations through which the home
must go that the next generation may
find it ready for bringing it to its
best. Under the press of modern con-
ditions the house itself has altered so
that the living room of our fathers is
no more, for each room is a living
room, warmed and lighted, in which
each individual member of the family
may be comfortable. Diversified bus
mess, social and industrial life have
affected it also in the demands for
differing hours of leaving and return
so that definite meal time for all
may happen not at all except on Sun
day. The solidarity of family inter
ests are assaulted by the social stu
alton. Community cooperation is wild
ening its walls. Instead of the cook
ing being done in the kitchen it is
done in the town bakery, cannery, ETC.,
and its washing at the town laundry.
Summer and winter shiftings of To-
cation are part of present-day life in
the experience of many and the crowd
ing of many families under single
roofs are at the other end of the scale
and each is imperiling the home it.
self. In the face of such radical
changes in the last twenty-five years
our duty becomes perplexing as to
method but clear as to fact. The
home must be preserved else society
is doomed; it must be handled on i'm
proved methods else we have woefully
failed.
OUR PRIVILEGE.
Paul is talking about the Christian
home. 1t was being instituted among
pagan population in which slavery
was an institution. And the slave was
not person, but possession, and as
such incapable of Independent action.
Yet through such conditions they
passed on the home with the injection
into it of the spirit of Jesus so that it
was enriched. Now our task is not
hindered by poverty of opportunity,
but by richness of material assets.

ions, but owners Of them. And ii Is

n, this crop offers as favorable price
prospects for the coming season as any of
Montana's major cash crops. according to
the department Of agricultural economics
at the Montana experimental station.
The United States can expand produc-
ton and still remain within domestic re-
quirement to give producers the benefit
of the tariff is indicated by the fact that
last year more than 30 million bushels of
haxseed were imported into the United
States to be added to the less than 20
million bushels produced here to meet
domestic requirements. In the face of
this rather favorable situation farmers Of
the northwestern states have ~signifed
their intention of increasing spring
wheat and decreasing fax acreage and
this is spite of the fact that the weat
outlook is decidedly unfavorable.
Economists suggest that farmers may
well take advantage of the delayed plant
ing season by shifting more of their
acreage from wheat to flax. Flax plant
ing may be continued until June l INC
even later If conditions warrant.

commencement exercises. More han
+'aree hundred graduates n former

The completion of the building pro-
gram that started in 1920 at the state
college, the changes in the campus the
unprecedented growth of the institution
in the last few years. all are to be made
the occasion of special notice on this

the north campus. In this demonstration
there will be special exercises in memory

Hot Breads II You Want Them
We often hear q housewife express her

breads. There may be only two in the
family n almost any recipe she may
use makes too great an amount for W
people SO she must throw some out at
each baking. Dr. perhaps she may be 30

the bread at meal time.
If a double acting baking powder such
as Calumet baking powder is used both
OF these difficulties may be overcome. II

may mix the product n keep 1t cool
until desired, then bake 1t.

Home and Kitchen Suggestions

What are we going to have for des-
sert, Mother2" may be heard each day,
not only from the children u from
father too. They all know that there
will be dessert for now 1T is planned as
a part of the meal and not an extra lux
ury which Is served on Sunday or when
company comes.
Very often. Just before meal-time
mother wonders, too, what she will ave
that will please her family. She knows
that looking forward to a tasty dessert
will keep her whole family in a happy
frame of mind, which is a necessary pre-
requisite for good digestion-or essential
to good health.
She knows too that II children have a
nice dessert at the table they will not be
so easily tempted to spend their pennies
for some cheap, brightly colored candy as
soon as the meal Is over.
Both father and the children like food
which is attractive. so keep that clearly
| n 4 when preparing desserts. Very
often a little vegetable coloring will make
a milk custard very tempting to a child
who has a great dislike for 1t when 1t Is
in its natural color. The kind OF dish
used in serving the dessert is important.
Individual dishes are usually more at
tractive, then to. If a child understands
that his portion has been served, he does
not cry for more, with perhaps q case of
indigestion If he receives 1T. Warm des-
serts may be served In china dishes, but
cool or cold ones are more attractive In
glass.
There is a countless number Of des-
serts which may be prepared, but choose
one which Is suitable to serve with the
rest Of the meal. If the dinner is rich,
the dessert should be quite simple, out
