NORTHERN MONTANA FAIR
Committee Meets Saturday

Committee Meets Saturday
The northern Montana sair will b.
held in Sheridan county next fall
This fair is rotated among the north
eastern counties of the state and the
fair this coming fall has been award
ed to Sheridan county. This is one Of
the best corn and seed shows helt
any place in the country and it is 6
big honor to have it awarded to this
county, especially when the origina,
plan was to only hold it in the coun.
ties on the main line. But the ex
cellent showing in number of prizes
won by this county the last two
years influenced the county directors
to give US the fair next fall. W.
hope to live us to our reputation ano
make it the biggest northern Mon
tana fair ever had; with the coop
GRAFTON of everyone in the county
this can be done without question.
Indications are that this will be done.
Last year Sheridan county was the
leading county in number of pure
seed growers and this year the num-
Der planting pure seed has increased
several hundred per cent. Next Sat-
urday, April 16, at four o'clock in
the afternoon the local fair board will
meet and decide upon some of the
details. Rules and regulations will
be sent out shortly so that we can
begin to prepare early and make the
fair big success.

The Angel stood by his bedside
And touched his eyes with his wings.
Arise It's time we were on our way,
To hear the Angels sing;
The sand in the glass is running low
Jesus awaits you in Heaven above
So leave this shell and come with me.
To place where all is love.
My limbs they are weary
My eyes they are dim
fear me to cross the bar alone
Please take my Mama and Daddy along
So they will not grieve when am gone.
Remember dear the God of all
With whom your dear soul is going to live
viii mingle with the cup of gall
Some balm with the woe He gives
And while your dear ones wait for their
last home.
AT early dawn or twilight even
Our Lord will send your gentle soul

Pray tell me how to 60.
You have heard of the lark as he scars

And disappears in the bright blue sky
So shall we roam in the midnight gloom
Fer beyond the clouds and the tomb.
No golden stairs, no diamond streets
Adorn the palace of Heaven above
But halo of glory shines out from His
face.
And hands extended to those he loves
Jesus said, Suffer little children to come

And know he will welcome you there
So place your hands in mine and come
To Gods Heavenly sphere.

cial returns from the agriculture de-
partment to the community amount
ed to over $500. At the present tlIne
there are 22 projects in progress
which should net an even greater
direct financial return to the young
farmers of the Greenwood commun-

And yet there is class of social

edlv it is or would be waste OF

farmers existed in community; but
fortunately that condition is neither

piration is one of the best ways of
reducing the heat in the body.
Another thing to avoid is eating
unripe fruit and vegetables. If the
stomach becomes upset a lot of
things are apt to happen. But in
any event, whether summer or win
ter, all fruit and vegetables should
be washed before eaten. This is
absolutely necessary because Of the
various poisonous solutions used to
spray trees and bushes with nova
days.
"In order to prevent stomach
trouble and reduce the chance of in
digestion, milk should be taken in
from the front steps as soon as it
arrives or as soon as possible. The
bacteria which is in all milk, multi
plies so rapidly in hot weather, that
it is necessary to keep it chilled.
The bacteria increases indigestion
and makes it spoil quicker. The same
applies in a way to butter, which
also should be kept cold enough to

direction of DR.. Phillips, however, IS
proving it's value in saving many
lives.
In the first six months of this year
DR.. Phillips has made 796 examlna-
tions. Of this number 800 were sus-
poets. These examinations resulted
in the location of so new tubercular
victims and 68 inactive cases. BY
inactive is meant those persons who
have been attacked by tuberculosis
but the disease is arrested.
DR.. Phillips commented entnusl-
astically on the value of this educa-
tional work. Through the visiting
nurses many contacts, persons IN a
family where someone has died OF
tuberculosis, have been sent TO the
clinics for examinations. Wnere
there was a slight indication OF the
disease, these persons have Deen
sent to their family physicians with
a report from the State Board OF
Health. In other instances where the
disease has progressed at an alarm
ing rate the victims have been IN
duced to go to a sanatorium or hos
pital for treatment. Both DR.. Phil
Iips and DR.. Arthur T. Davis, exec
utive secretary of the State Board,
believe that in time the fight against
tuberculosis in Delaware will be-
come as effective as it is against
smallpox.
DR.. Phillips warns of the neces-
sity of persons subject to this all
ment to beware of too violent exer-
else in warm wheather. During
this season when it is nice to get out
persons are apt to indulge in TOO
long swims, or bath or some exercise
