Friends Surprise Mrs. Miller.

1t is not often that one is treated
to two surprise parties within a week
but that is the pleasant experience
that befell Mrs. Timothy Miller. A
number of her lady friends dropped in
Saturday night, taking her completely
by surprise. The evening was spent
most delightfully."- in a social way, with
an elaborate lunch, provided by the
ladies', served at a late hour.
The second surprise came Tuesday
night when another party of friends
called on Mrs. Miller. The second af-
fair also proved most enjoyable to
everyone fortunate enough to be pres
ent. A lunch that was described as
simply gorgeous" closed the pleasant
evening.
Those present Tuesday evening were
the Mesdames VIM. Kemp, w. E.
Luscher, Fred Gooselaw, Hans Pet
erson, Thomas Fleetwood, Eli Wood,
Ben Larson, Decker, Hugh Smith,
Thos. Switzar, Breeder, Blanchard,
Borden, Clough, Anderson and Miss

Hold Free Dental
Clinic at Eureka

At a free extraction clinic held
at Eureka last Saturday and spon-
sored by Mrs. Carrie Fl. La Munyan,
county superintendent of schools, %
rural school children were given dem
tai attention by DR.. V. A. Hannigan
of Libby. AS result of the clinic the
% children were relieved of 66 de-
fective teeth. Mrs. La Munyan states
that the children came from the dis
trict surrounding Eureka, some walk
ing, some on horseback, some in autos
and others brought in by interested
Eureka residents who donated their
autos and services.
DR. Hannigan gave his services at
a much reduced rate and also pro-
vided free of charge his transporta-
tion to Eureka. The cost of the clinic
was met by funds received from the
sale of Christmas seals. Each year
a certain percentage Of the sum de-
rived from the seal sale is re-
turned to the community buying the
seals, the sales having been spon-
sored in Eureka and Libby by the
Women's Clubs of the two places.
Complying with request from Mrs.
La Munyan, the clubs of Eureka and
Libby both donated their receipts
from the seal sale to the Eureka
clinic. A certain sum also comes
from the seal sale to the county su-
perintendent Of schools. Mrs. La Nun
yam also turned that over to the Eu-
reka clinic. The clinic at Eureka was
confined to rural children.

lize what they must mean to the
child. Eyestrain and defective hear
ing are responsible for good many
"D1s' on the pupils report cards.
Operations and continued medical
attention may be necessary to rem
edy chronic cases but MANY of the
child's defects can be Strengthened out
by simple consultation with the
doctor and the observance OF his ad-
vice. 1t is regretahle fact, how
ever, that many of the pupils show
the same defects now that they did
last fall; in fact, many cards show
that for five years, diseased tonsils
or poor eyesight has been recorded
for the same child. 1t is q matter OF
some expense on the part. Of the
trustees to secure q physicians time
for 3 or 4 days twice year and the
only way to get value received is for
parents to follow up the suggestions
on the reports brought home. Patrons,
this is your clinic, put on by the dis
trict for your benefit; you can best
be sure Of yourself and your commu-
nifty by carefully examining the
health report of your child. If there
appears to be something wrong with
him, take him to your family physi-
clan and satisfy yourself that you are
doing the best you can for your child.

Urges Parents to Take Advantage of
Information Given by Health Work

DR.. Martin, the school health physi-
clan, assisted by Mrs. Harris and the
various room teachers, is completing
the semi-annual health examinations
this week. Clinics Of this type are
carried on in all schools where a
health officer is employed and are
strongly recommended by the best
school and medical authorities. Presi-
dent Hoover recently issued a pro-
clamation setting aside the first week
of May as Child Health Week. That
there is real need for such service
is shown by the number Of diseased
tonsils, decayed teeth, defective eyes
and ears and other defects that are
revealed by the doctors examinations.
Cases of seniors under weight and
over weight are common; in fact any
child who comes out with Normal"
on his card is fortunate.
A record of each case is left on file
at school and report sent to the
parent. Each year decided improve
ment in the school work of some pu-
pills can be traced to the follow-up
work which his parents have made
after receiving an unfavorable report
on their child's health. The dulling
and painful effects of rundown
physical or nervous system are too
commons to us as adults not to rea-

Star Mail
Route VIII
Be Extended
Ranchers South of Libby
Will be Given Better
Service.
SOUTHERN TERMINUS
WILL BE ELK PARK

Ranchers living south of Libby be-
tween Manicke and Happy's Inn are
to have a somewhat better mail sery-
ice after July l, due to the extend
ing Of the star mail route from Man
lcke, its present terminus, to Elk
Park. An order from the postoffice
department to this effect has been re-
celved by postmaster M. K. Kedzie of
Libby.
For the past year or two efforts
have been made by ranchers in the
district between Libby and Marion to
have mail service inaugurated be
tween this place and Marion. These
efforts met with failure, however, a
the department maintained that there
IS not enough settlement in the terri
tory affected to warrant the addf-
tlonal cost. Of such service. Finally.
after several attempts had failed to
obtain the desired service, George r,
koebel, a rancher Of McGinnis Mead
ows, took up with the department )
plan to extend the present star mail
route to Elk Park The route now runs
from Libby to Manicke and return.
BY extending it to Elk Park it win
take the service three and a half
miles nearer to the ranchers at Nc
Glnnis Meadows and will also lessen
the distance that much to the w. ].
Lloyd and George Erhardt ranches
and to Happy's Inn, making it much
more convenient for all parties to
obtain their mail. The mail goes out
from Libby twice a week, on Tues
days and Fridays. Peter Detjens han
the mail contract. Parties to be served
by the extending of the route viii
put up mail boxes at Elk Park.
E. A. Wohlfrom Of Butte, postal in
spector, was here last March and
went into this matter. The decision to
extend the service to Elk Park has
just been announced.

gram. Carnations that were left were
given to the Libby hospital.

Is usual, the hostess committee gave
a framed picture for the club room.

son.
1t was decided to put off the joint
meeting with the commercial. club
until in the fall.

OF money derived from the sale of
Christmas seals to furnish dental
work done in the rural schools in

tlon OF the club, libby voted upon

Will Take Well Deserved Vacation.
w. j. Hampton left Wednesday for
St. Maries, Ida, where he will spend
the summer visiting with relatives
and enjoying well earned vacation.
Mr.. Hampton is rs years. old but is
hale and hearty, and has worked
steadily at the local sawmill since
March, 1920, or more than nine years
and has missed only one or two shifts
in that time, so he says. He is proud
of his health record and remarks that
he has never needed doctors services
for illness since he was nine years
old. He has been injured in accidents
time or two when doctors patched
him up but since boyhood days ill
ness has never demanded their serv-
ice for him. Mr.. Hampton's father
lived to 80 years of age, and pros
poets are good that the sopwill equal
that record.

Trail Rangers Log.

Our meeting last Monday night may
be looked upon as the close of our
Camp work for the season, although
we have still d month to run before
we suspend operations for the sum-
mer. Our deputy took charge Of the
Camp, and we were not long in getting
through the preliminaries. DR.. Os-
troot's report on the class work we
had been doing in electricity was in
the hands of the Mentor, and although
after its reading some Of US were
little disappointed, yet it gave us all
a fair standing, and showed that quite
a number had been attentive during
the delivery of his lectures. The first
place went to Ray Kutawa, whose
notebook was we'll kept, and mis- test
paper earned rs per cent Charles
Woodworth and Charles Shanahan
We're equal with 80 per cent, but as
they had not turned in their note
books, they lost out some credits.
Lamar Rowland came in a good third.
The Mentor presented Ray with
nice Eversharp pencil in recognition
of the place he had taken in the tests.
After this was disposed of, two candi-
dates were Initiated into Trail Rang
ers' Craft. The candidates, Tom Ham
ilton and Lambert Green, were not
sure as to what Trail would be best
to take, but under the guidance OF
Lamar, they finally came out from
by-path meadow and reached the
Camp without any accident Detailing
them. The work was put on in good
style by the different officers. Flag
salute closed most interesting meet
ing.
