In Advertising Montana as Summer
Playground

The Rocky Mountain HuSDandman
states that "a series of mothers camps
will be held in Montana again this sum-
mer according to the announcement OF
Miss Blanche Lee, state home demonstra-
ton leader" and that the dates Tor
these will soon be given. Chancellor
Brannon and DR.. Alfred Atkinson OF the
Montana State college are among the
speakers mentioned. Health talks Will
be a prominent feature Of the programs,
with DR.. Caroline Hadger, a well-known
authority on the subject, TO present IL.
What these camps mean to the tired
housewives Of the farm, can be easily
imagined. For at least few days an
nually, they break away from the endless
routine of their lives to find rest phys1-
cally and be stimulated mentally. Then,
too, they meet other women similarly
| circumStanced with themselves, form
pleasant acquaintance, and Interchange
condolences. They learn better and easier
ways of doing their work, and return to
their homes wonderfully refreshed by the
brief experience. Much credit is due to
those who first inaugurated this move

Miss Edith Mott, state clothing special

women of four communities Of Judith
Basin, these being Benchland, Upper Ar
row Creek, Moccasin and Kolin. The
meetings at each place will last two days
The women belonging to the clubs will
furnish their own materials and with the
advice and assistance Of Miss Lee will cut
and make an entire garment. Incident
ally they should be taught, as are the
women Of Denmark, how to Judge cloth
