~Eighty-tW0 per cent of the Montana
veterans of the World war who received
vocational training from the govern
ment are following these %vocatiOns, c.
T. Busha, Jr., until recently regional
director of the veterans bureau, said
recently In Great Falls. Mr.. Busha is
now a member of the law firm of
Molumby, Busha e. Greenan.
N~inety-one per cent of the veterans Of
this state h took agricultural courses
are still on the land and they are sue
ceeding, according to Mr.. Busha. AS they
were trained along scientific farming
lines, their success Is proof of the value
Of scientific farming. the speaker said
This state had more than 10000 men In
the war service Of the United States and
the state is credited with the greatest
number OF casualties per capita OF any
state in the Union.
The veterans bureau hospital at Hell
ena has been a big aid In the work fol-
the former fighters, according to Mr.
Busha, who called attention to the bill
pending in congress to provide free hos
pitalization for the veterans of all wars
He believes the measure will be enacted
into law.
Mr.. Busha reviewed the veterans leg
islation passed during and since the war.
First came war risk insurance. A voca-
tional training board was established
This work has been completed. The need
for medical aid for disabled men de-
veloped a disqualification program. Ad-
1usted compensation has been one Of the
more recent activities.
To show the vastness of the program
being carried on for the veterans, Mr..
Busha quoted figures to the effect that
4 1900 900 men were in the fighting serv-
Ice of the United States in the World
war, 35,560 were killed in action, Ia, 100
died OF wounds, a total of 50,280; 9O,930
were severely wounded, 80,480 were
slightly wounded, 34,380 were wounded In
a degree undetermined, making a total
of 205 800.
If present plans for helping the vet
Grams materialize, the United States will
be spending $500, 900 900 a year when the
peak is reached in 1949. MIR. Busha said.
Although this will be a heavy expendi-
ture, MIR. Busha believes that the eco
nomic gains made by the nation in *
ing care of the veterans will be an off,
setting factor.

Kurtz, that there is little difference in
yield between fall plowed summer fall
lowed and and early spring plowed sum-
mer fallowed land but that there is a
very decided difference between Ian that
is plowed early and that which is plowed
late. This difference is particularly pro-
nounced in dry years SUCH as 1926 when
fall plowed summer fallowed land yield
ed 90 bushels. early spring plowed sum-
mer fallowed land yielded 81 bushels
and July plowed summer fallOwed land
yielded SO bushels.
Winter wheat experiments OF a similar
nature gave similar results. Winter
wheat planted on summer allowed land
that had been fall plowed and left rough
yielded 1876 bushels per acre. A field
that had been plowed in May and sum-
mer fallowed yielded l52 bushels, and
fields that were plowed in July and sum-
mer fallowed yielded e.5 bushels. The
figures in this case represent averages
for the years 1918-l927.

has been a fairly steady decline to the
present low point. Only -four times since
1912 has the ration been below eight and

Prickly Porky is slow of wit. He over. That is because. being armed as he is with the thousand little spears that he carries in his coat. he never hNs to think quickly. And he is stubborn. He is seldom willing 10 agree with anybody. Boomer the Nighthawk had just been telling Prckly Porky about the latter's long tailed cousin in the Tropics, and Prickly Porky has stated fiatly that he didn't believe he had q cou- sin with any such kind of tail. Then Scrapper the kingbird had come along and had said that it was true. You see, both Boomer and Scrapper go away down in that land where there is no winter.
 Prickly Porky considered this for I few minutes. Finally Boomer said: Don't you believe it now?"
 No" grunted Prickly Porky, and began chewing a piece of bark.
 There you are," said Scrapper the Kingbird. That is what comes Of living in one little place all the time. If Prickly Perky had travelled as you and I have, he wouldn't be so set in his ways or so ignorant.
 I At that Prickly Porky bristled up and his thousand little spears all stood out of his fur coat. Who says I'm ignorant" he demanded.
 T do," retorted scrapper the Kingbird. "You believe only what you have seen, and you refuse to be- leve what others have seen. Now, Bobby Coon has never seen any of those queer members of his family down there in the Tropics, but he believes they are there, because we have told him they are there. Isn't that so. Bobby"
 Bobby nodded. Certainly" said he. "I have reached the point where | can believe almost anything. If you should tell me that I have q rel ative down there who walks upside down, I'd believe it.

 There was such emotion ln his voice, his face was so drawn by fear, that I wondered if the supposedly romance proof great man had been caught by the spell of Olina' beauty and charm, and the glamour of her place in the royal family Of Trans vania. I could think Of no other eX planation of his great concern. and to my disgust. l found my vanity wincing at tn. conjecture.

 He came slowly back to his chair, sank into it as if he suddenly were at the end of his strength.

 Companionate marriage: '1 have just been reading Judge Lindsey's book about it. and l am afraid l do not agree with it, although l think he is right to waken parents. They must learn that the world has nov ed since their day.
 Prohibition: Well, that's 8 hard one. But one thing I do know. Not drinking is much better. much safer. than drinking. What makes people want to drink? Just because they are told not to? Are they all children? We'll, I think of my own children when I say would like to get rid of drinking. They haven't gone with the crowd 90 far. But may be I'd better touch wood."

Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHI;ElN Editor Journal Of the American Medical Association and of Hy-
 rnia fhe Health Magnzine.


 From time to time experiments have been made in the feeding of milk, changing the form or the preparation and studying the ef- fects on children fed with this most complete of human foods.
 Experiments have been reported which show that the boiling of milk interfcres somewhat with it's con- tent of mineral salts, particularly calcium and phosphorous, and that young animals fed on heated milk alone are likely to develop rickets.
 When children are fed on boiled milk they must be given increasing quantities of cod liver oil in order to improve the growth properties, which are to some eX- tent destroyed by the heating of the milk.
 Milk is also depended upon by the child in many places for get ting it's supply of iodine. Although the supply of iodine necessary to the human body is relatively small i'll amount, it must be kept up to q definite level or the child will de- velop symptoms related to the thy roid gland.
 Investigators in medical re- search institute in Aberdeen have now carried out series of experi- ments to find out what happens to the iodine in milk when the food is boiled before serving. It was found that heat would cause 20 per cent or more of all the iodine in milk to pass into the air by volatilzation. This, of course, represents fairly serious loss to the child that takes the milk. While these considerations are ol great importance so far as they re- 1 late to the feeding of the infant | they are not. of course, fundamen- tai in relationship to the taking ot milk by adults.
 The grown up person does not de pend on any single food substance in his diet. He is likely to supple ment milk or any other food that Int may take by a wider variety O meats. cereals and vegetables.
 Although milk is the most perfec of foods, it is not absolutely perfect since 1t lacks greatly some of th' mineral salts necessary to life ant is not even complete in its conten of vitamins.
 More and more 1t is becoming 10 be realized that the only safet, in diet is a well balanced diet witt some of all of the important foo' substances.

Smoking IS Q. K.,

But She Thinks Dry Law
 Is All Wrong.
it's eve.

New Orleans, April l2.-The pro- hibition law is all wrong and smok- ing by girls is all right. says Miss Goida Schill, New Orleans, the only woman due to receive a degree at the law school graduation exercises at Louisiana State University in June.
 Miss Schill has some pro nounced ideas, but let her tell them:
 "I am opposed to national pro- hibition because l don't think it can be enforced, because violation of the prohibition act lessens all respect for law. and last of all. because if it could be enforced. it shouldn't be because drinking Is not fit subject for legislation.
 Drinking is not a moral ques- ton but one of hygiene. Only ex- cessive drinking becomes a moral question.
 Women have as much right to smoke as men.
 Ut Is not a sin for a woman to smoke or drink although she may suffer more serious physical con- sequences than man and should be governed accordingly.
 Tt Is bad taste for a woman to smoke or drink in the presence of conscientious persons who find it offenAive."
 Miss Schill intends to so into the practice of law when she is graduated.
 There is no more worthy pro- fession than that of housekeep- ing" she said. but I haven't spent five years in college just to be a housekeeper."
