An Authority on tho Problems Of
Love and Marriage.

Love and Marriage.
Unless you are a very excep-
Nonal person, indeed. you have
found yourself. at some time Of
your life, faced with the in
law problem.
Even though you may not as
yet have felt distracted, but the
puzzling difficulty of doing the
right thing, saying the right
thing, and exercising wise dis.
cretion in your attitude toward
sister or brother.in-law, father or
mother-in-law, do not congratulate
yourself too soon! The chances
are the time will come when you
also will have to solve the puzzle.

tulations ID she who has faced

If possible, 1t is better for
young couple to live by them
selves, away from too intimate
contact and influence OF ''in-laws."
But IL the mother must live with
her married son or daughter, for
financial reasons, there is need of
every wise safeguard to maintain
harmony. For "in-laws" do not al
ways get on together.
1t seems to be human nature

Blaine Potato Association.
Closes Successful Season

cording to Mr.. Legge. is introducing the
high quality Blaine county seed stock TO
many important commercial potato
growing sections of the south and should
result in a Wild expansion Of the market.
The marketing work Of the Blaine
county association this season has been
most satisfactory to growers and buyers
rs well. Mr.. Legge states. Most of the
seed stock was shipped late in the sea-
son. which allowed ample time for all
defects to show up. A careful system OF
grading Just before shipping resulted in
a superior product which has attracted
commendation from buyers III Arkansas
Oklahoma and Louisiana.
The commercial potatoes handled by
the association brought from 80 to sl.6C
per cwt., with the average price for the
81 cars very satisfactory 10 the growers
in comparison with general potato price
levels at the time of sales.
Last spring the Blaine county unit o.
the Montana Certified Potato Marketing
association was established and this sea
sons crop of certified seed potatoes vii
be handled through that organization.

by Rufh Rrlfknln
by Ruth Britain

Thumb sucking does look sweet in q
baby, but it is disgusting in the three
year-old and sometimes 1t hangs on until
fifteen or slxteenl The habit may cause
an Informed mouth or induce adenoids:
and it always interferes with digestion.
Pinning the sleeve over the hand; at
taching mittens. or putting on cardboard
cuffs, which prevent bending the arms
at the elbows, are some Of the ways to
stop the habit.
Another bad habit-irregularity in
bowel action-is responsible for weak
bowels and constipation in babies. Give
the tiny bowels an opportunity to act
at regular periods each day. If they
don't act at first, q little Fletcher's Cas-
torla will soon regulate them. Every
mother should keep a bottle OF 1T handy
to use In case of collie. cholera, diarrhea,
gas on stomach and bowels, constipation,
loss of sleep. or when baby is cross and
feverish. It's gentle influence over baby's
system enables him to get full nourish-
ment from his food, helps him gain,
strengthens his bowels.
Castoria is purely vegetable and harm
less-the recipe is on the wrapper. Ply
sicians nave prescribed 1T for over 80
years. With each package, you get a
valuable book on Motherhood. Look for
Chas. H. Fletcher's signature on the
wrapper SO you'll get the genuine.
