Demonstration
Work in Sheridan Co.

just what has been the history and
accomplishments of home demon
stration work in Sheridan County Z?
A few facts taken from County Ex-
tension Agents and State Specialists
reports reveal the following:
AS early as 1924 requests were
made by the Sheridan County women
for help with Clothing Construction.
Thru the interest and help of the
County extension Agent the assist
ance of the State Clothing Special
list was secured and the following re-
suits are recorded. Eight clothing
clubs for women were organized with
an enrolment of SO members, 33
meetings with a total attendance on
1893 women were held. 525 gar
ments with a saving of $1979.75 wer.
made in 1925.
During the year 1926 a Foods and
Nutrition and Home Care of the sick
project was conducted by the State
Specialist in Foods and Nutrition
with the following results: Seven
groups OF women with a membership
Of los were enrolled and all reported
having made some very important
change in the method Of feeding their
families which was evident in the we'll
planned meals served at community
meetings as well as in the home.
During 1927 Clothing Selection was
the major project. Seven groups with
a total enrolment of 1913 women re-
ported having received help with this
project. A total of $50 garments
were made under the direction of the
State Clothing Specialist.
By the spring Of 1928 interests in
home demonstration work for women
and All club work for girls had grown
to such proportions that at the re-
quest of the women in the county an
appropriation Of $400 was made by
the Board of County Commissioners
to help defray the travel and DEM
onstration expense beginning in June
1928 for one third time service Of a
district agent who divided her time
between Sheridan, Daniels and Roose-
welt counties.
During this period the major pro-
Ject with was the kitchen
Improvement project. A series of
meetings was held on Kitchen ar
rangement, care and repair of walls,
woodwork and floors, home made and
commercial equipment and water sys-
TENS. E~ighty-two kitchens were en-
rolled and were scored by the home
demonstration agent and individual
help given. This project closed with
an Achievement Day Program and
.our in July Of this year. AS a re-

Valuable Sapphire
Deposits in State

BUTTE, Oct, 15-"Sapphires as
blue as cornflowers--the Doveliest
blue in gems-are found in the val
ley of Yogo Greek, about 25 miles
south and west of Lewistown, Mont.
The deposit is tucked away in the
very heart of the Rocky Mountains,
and fully 5000 feet above the sea
and out of the beaten track of ira

pressed Air magazine received in the
library Of the Montana School of
Mines at Butte.
The article goes on to tell that the
property is owned at present by the
New Mine Sapphire Syndicate, which
has already mined and marketed from
$4,000, 900 to $4,000 900 worth of
gems. Not only are the Yogo Creek
sapphires of unusually fine color and
purity, but the quantity on the COM
pany's three-and-a-half lode is said
to be capable of supplying the en-
tire world for years to come. The
Montana gems are all shades of blue
from magenta to steel, and have
brought as much as $1,000 for the fl
nest jewels.

terlal was once molten igneous rock
that forced its way surfaceward
from the bowels of the earth. AS that
plastic rose through the super
posed limestone it picked up frag-
ments of shale and limestone; and
these fragments, by reason of the
heat and pressure then exerted, were
transformed into sapphires.
Most of the profitable ore or rock
has been mined in drifts driven at a
depth somewhere around $50 feet be-
low the surface.
when first brought to the sur
face the ore is generally hard and
fairly compact, slightly blue in col
or and tinged with green. The sap
phire crystals are distributed sparse
ly throughout the ore; and weather.
ing and washing operations on a
large scale are needed to effect the
extraction of the gem stones. Wash
ing operations are only possible dur
sig the open season between May
and November"
After being taken from the mine,
the rock is dumped, during the course
OF months, in large heaps which are
built up on wooden floors to facili-
tate washing operations. When it has
been sufficiently exposed to the dis
migrating influence of weathering,
the ore is washed into sluice boxes,
where rifles are placed to catch the
sapphire crystals. The lighter mud
and gravel undergo successive simil-
ar processes for four seasons.
"The large-sized concentrates are
usually hand sorted at the mine, but
the gem crystals are sent elsewhere
for. grading and cutting. The finer
concentrates are dealt with a separa-
ting machine. Most of these small
crystals because of their size and al
so because of their less desirable col
oring, are put to industrial and scien-
tific services. They are used as jew
ell bearings in watches, clocks, chro-
nometers and other delicate machin-
cry and apparatus.
while New Mine sapphires have
long sold for less than sapphires orr
ginating in the Orient, they have done
so simply because the wealth of the
deposit and the relative ease with
which they could be extracted made
this feasible. But the lower price
has not meant That the sapphires we're
not the equal Of the best from other
sources-as IA matter Of fact, the love
lest Of them are unrivaled in rich
ness Of coloring and in brilliancy."

 For Brooklyn, Vance pitching, % and fail 10 add with another lung ful of wind: "DeBerry catching"
 What the announcer roared was: "Lopazzz. catching"
 Which meant that young Al To- peg, the Tampa panatella. finally had broken the strongest hold old Hank now 86 years old, has on a major league berth.
 Ever since Dazzy Vance and De Berry came up as a battery in 1922 from New Orleans ln the Southern Association, the larter's chief valuc 10 the club has been his ability to steady the right-handed speed ball ace.

BURRITTS AND SOKOLS TO
 BATTLE IN CITY LEAGUE
Position of Circuit Leaders Threatened as They Face Another Contender for Pennant - Pirates Heavy Favorites to Wipe Away Seneca Opposition - Holy Cross Slated to Cross Bats With West Ends-Na- tionals Play American Legion in Junior Loop
League Standing

First place in the Senior City Baseball league will be al stake this afternoon at Walnut Hill park when the Burritts and the Sokols clash in the first game to be played on Dia- mond No. l. The Sokols, although tied with the Pirates in the number of games lost, are occupants of first place by virtue of the fact that they have one more win than the Pirates credited to them. This situation exists because the Burritts and the Pirates played a tie game and the playoff has yet to take place.
 That today's game will be battle well worth watching. goes without stying. The Burrtts are out to win because of the fact that a win for them today and another win for them when they play the Pirates again, will place them in a tie for first place.
 Should they beat the Sokols, the Pirates will be in first place and the championship of the league will then depend on the game between the Pirates and Burritts which is to be played 2 week from today. The So- kols will be at their best in an en- deavor to hold on to their advan- tage.
 The Holy Cross and West Ends will stage the second game on Dia- mond No. 1. These two are tied for second last place and each will be striving to end up the league a po- sltlon higher than the other.
 The Pirates are heavy favorites to brush aside any opposition that the Senecas might offer them in the game scheduled for o'clock on Ditmond No. .. The Senecas have been the doormat of the league this year and they will be expected to furnish little or no opposition to the fighting Pirates.
 The games are the final ones in the City league schedule. although the playoff Of the tie between the Burritts and Pirates is scheduled to take place next Saturday.
 Junior League Game
 In the Junior City league. the Na- tionals are scheduled to play the American Legion in the second con- test on Diamond No. 9 This will be a battle between the leaders and tho tail enders in the junior circuit.

TERRY HITTING
 AT AFAST PACE
Babe Herman Of Brooklyn Clos
 ing in On Leader

New York, Aug. Is LP'-Once in the lead, Bill Terry, New York's star first baseman, seems bent on lm- proving his position, but he still has to yield a good many honors to the former leader of the National leagues sluggers. In the past week, Terry has increased his average to two points. coming in at .403 in the unofficial averages released today, which include Wednesdays games to lead his nearest rival by five points.
 That rival is Babe Herman of Brooklyn, who has piled up a .404 mark while Klein has dropped 10 third with an even .400 average. Other leaders among the regulars are O'Doul, Philadelphia, .3S7; stephen son, Chicago, .3S2; Hogan. New York, .362; P. Waner, Pittsburgh, .35S; Cuyler. Chicago, .357; Granth- am, Pittsburgh, .354 and Lindstrom, New York, .351.
 Despite his drop in the standings, Klein has managed to hold the greater part of the circuits slugging honors. He leads in runs scored with 1t6 in total hits with 1855; in doubles with 40; and in runs batted in with 125. His principal slugging rival is Hack Wilson of the Chicago Cubs, who has clouted 40 home runs to lead the league and threatens the National league record. Adam com orosky Of Pittsburgh still is ahead in triples with IS while Xxi Cuyler of Chicago retains the post as leading base stealcr with 27
 The second places are allotted as follows; Runs, Herman, liz; hits, Terry and Herman, 183; doubles, Frederick. Brooklyn, 3S: triples, Cuyler, F: home runs, Klein, %; runs batted in, Wilson. 12o; and stolen bases, Herman, IS, With the fall Of Klein and O'Doul. the Phil lies have dropped from the club lead and the Giants have replaced them. New York has raised its team mark 10 .322, to take the top while Phil adelphia is second with a .319 aver age. Cincinnati retains the fielding lead with a .975 average.
 Bob Osborn of Chicago and Ray Phelps of Brooklyn have kept up their race for the pitching lead by adding victories through the week. Osborn holds first place with an SIS average gained from nine victories and two defeats while Phelps, who has won 12 games and lost three, is second with an 500 mark.
