IN NEW YORK

New York, March IA great deal
Of "wickcdness" in New York is made
to order for the visiting papas and
mamas who, very early in heir
visits, crave to catch glimpses of just
this.
And since Greenwich Village has
been identified with all sorts Of
colorful and romantic vice, two
stops of the night sightseeing
busses are cafes where the flavor
is spiccd to please the visiting
taste.
1t was to one Of these resorts
that Anne Scmplc McPherscr, the
Los Angeles rcvivalist, was taken on
her recent night club tour. and here
it was that she commented on the
ginning 15-ycar-old and the nude
paintings on the wall.
The walls have been carefully
prepared to provide the proper
shock when the good folk of Iowa
and way states arrive. The paint
ings are by no means half as good
as may be found upon the walls of
almost any little village hang-Out,
but they are twice as undrcssed.

Grounding Day

While giving an evening lecture

The Groundhoe Day myth is nc
more test OF the infallibility of an
imal instinct than was Beecher

is as test of human gulllblllty and
superstition. And if the test show
y high percentage of both guillibii'y
and superstition it would not be

lieve ANYTHING about the weather
whether prophecy. almanac predlc-

Nevertheless, the Gfoundhoe Day
fable is an interesting and valuable
bit of folklore worthy of perpetu'
ton and of annual commemora'lon.
The eroundhog's shadow doesn't de-
termine the weather one way or an
other, but it plays an important
part in the traditions of the country.
This weather fable is a part OF the
true American folklore That some

from the value of the tradition as
folklore.

Ford Motor company provoked nc
less than three distinct offers of ST.

both Henry and Edsel Ford.
Information that these offers had

was the chief witness introduced
Wednesday by counsel for appel
ants in the action brought TO res
train the government from collec-
tion $30,000,0O0 additional taxes on
the sale to Henry Ford in 1919, OF

he testified that the Ford family
had cody turned down three dis.
tinct proposals to take over the
plant for q cash consideration OF

company began operation in 1908

Old Maids Good;
Bachelors Not So Good

The chief of the Bureau of eff
cheney at Washington. D. c.. re,
Gently gave out a statement ir
which he paws high tribute to the
"old maid" as follows:
The star of a woman's efficiency
rises as the thought of marriage
fails.
AS she abandons the art of self.
decoration for the ensnarement oil
man her service to her employer
increases. She is at her best in her
thjrties.
This woman brings to her work
an enthusiasm and loyalty that is
rarely equaled by any class of work
ers She comes to mother her job,
and the instinct of motherhood that
dominates all women is lavished by
the old maid on her work"
After declaring that flappers are
low in efficiency. the chief thus paws
bis respects to old bachelors.
The old bachelors. generally
speaking, is q failure in Uncle Sam :
service.
The bachelor. unlike the old
maid, is selfish and does not get
far
And still there are some who VIII
not admit that woman is mans
equal in the worlds business. .-Ex.

SHERIDAN COUNTY
WINS FIRST PLACE
IN SMALL GRAINS
Fine Exhibits Shown By Nearly All
Counties in the State-Sheridan
Wins First on Wheat. Barley and
Flax.

Sheridan County made large win
nings at the State Pure Seed ard
Corn Show held at Sidney last week.
Nearly all the counties in the State
were represented with fine exhibits.
The number of entries and quality Of
exhibits greatly surpassed any other
year.
Sheridan County scored first as a
county in winnings of small grains.
Saltwater county won first in corn
winnings. Considering the fact that
Sheridan County started to develop
the raising of pure seed less than
four years ago makes these winnings
all the more remarkable. Most coun-
ties have been raising pure seed for
at least ten years or longer, and also
the large increase in number of ex-
hibits this year makes the Montana
State Seed Show the largest pure
seed show in the country.
Sheridan County won first and sec
ond on Marquis wheat; second on
Winter wheat; first and third on
oats; first, second and third on bar
ley; first, second and third on flax,
md second on Durum wheat.
