DEAR MADAM JERTT1A:
have little holes in my cheeks.
Are those enlarged pores? I
heard that cold water closes the
pores. / use plenty of this, but
if anything they are getting
worse instead of better. Isn't
there some way Of closing them?
I will be grateful if you viii help
me with my problem. T. r.
Yes, the little holes in your
cheeks are enlarged pores, judg-
ing by your description Of them.
There are various causes for
these complexion defects. Pos
Sibly you are using some cos
metic or even soap that is too
strong for your type Of skin and
irritates it, causing the pores to
stretch in the effort to throw
off the foreign substance.
Look well to your powder,

Take Every Precaution
to Keen Stable Clean

Dust in the stable air is liable to
get into milk. For this reason every
precaution should be taken to have
the air pure during milking. Han.
ding dry feeds, especially hay. should
not be done just before or during
milking. Sweeping the stable during
these periods is equally Objectionable
1t the stable is built with tight cell
lngs and smooth walls, it will be easy
to clean, and dust will not readily col

mate the air heavily.
The mixers hands should be
washed thoroughly and kept clean
during milking. II they are allowed
to become dirty they are liable to be
a source of dirt in the milk, especial.
ly If "Wet.hand' milking is practiced.
The clothing of the mixer should be
free from dust, which may fall into
the milk pail.
Care is necessary TO protect the
milk from dust and dirt after it is
drawn. Except when the milk is ae
tually being poured into the strainer,
it should be kept covered at all times
to prevent the entrance of dust and
insects. Much fine sediment is often
blown on to the strainer if the latter
is left uncovered during the intervals
between straining.

ART EXHIBIT IS
WORTH ATTENDING

The art exhibit which is being held
at the Roosevelt school this week
from Monday to Friday inclusive is
not attracting the number of adult
visitors this collection merits owing
to weather conditions. Large num-
bers of pupils from the grades and
from the Carbon County high school
are availing themselves of this op-
portunity to study these master
pieces at first hand and are making
trips in scheduled order under the
supervision of their teachers. MANY
of the copies shown have been stud
led in class during the year in prepar-
alton for the arrival of the travelling,
art gallery.

cooperating with the schools in bring

the public and is sponsoring a pro-
gram at the Roosevelt tonight and a

Dairy Cow Profitable
With Big Production

A dairy COW will not pay her ex-
penses. in the opinion of Prof. J. H..
Fuller, head of the dairy department,
University Of New Hampshire, unless
she produces at least $500 pounds Of
milk per year. This production which
he considers necessary to meet such
charges as feed, labor and overhead,
is nearly 5000 pounds greater than
that of the average COW in the United
States.
Professor Fuller suggests mini
mum of ten cows for each full-time
worker, assuming that the man who
cares for ten COWS will also do some
other work about the farm. He says
that q man with fifteen COWS can well
afford a milking machine and recon-
mends the use of litter carriers and
drinking cups to keep labor costs on
The dairy farm to minimum.

STORMS AND WATERS
BOTHER OTHER PARTS

Despite the fact that Red Lodge
and vicinity was visited by one Of
the heaviest snowfalls Tuesday and
Wednesday that it has seen for many
years, weather conditions are mild
and not much apprehension is felt
by stockmen of this section. Plenty
OF feed is had by practically every
one and as no cold breezes are evident
weakened stock are not suffering.
The bridges in the lower valley,
which were in danger of being wash
ed away by floods last week, are now
being repaired and strengthened, as
the floods have passed. This is par
tieularly true as to bridges in the
vicinity of Bridger.
The flood waters, caused by the
breaking up of the ice on the yell
lowstone, which were causing much
trouble at Miles City and other points
as far as Glendive, have subsidized
and while much damage was done,
the worst is over until another sud
den thaw at least.
Late last Saturday night the flood
waters coming down the Greybull
river overflowed when reaching the
Big Horn river about mile south of
Greybull, Wyo., and flooded that
town to a depth of four feet. Much
property was damaged and it is now
estimated that the loss will exceed
100000.
One life was the toll of the sud
den raising of the waters. A Jana
nese boy was instantly killed when
he was hit by an auto driver who was
hurrying to leave the stricken dis
trict. A great many people are now
living in Basin, eleven miles south,
until their homes can be rebuilt.
Many houses were moved off their
foundations and others were COM
pletely wrecked.
Greybull is one of the distinctive
towns of the west in that it has
woman mayor, Miss Lisbeth Wiley.
She is a popular mayor and has served
several terms and it is evident now
how she deserves the esteem of her
townspeople. During the flood, when
everyone was frantically endeavoring
to reach the higher ground west of
town, Miss Wiley refused to leave
the flooded city. She in company
with heroic telephone operators stay
ed with the stricken section in an en-
deavor to help whenever possible.

had a fine home near the river edge,
