A Five Cent Bundle

id l buy a bundle of old papers? No. bought a history
l bought for five cents of my filthy lucre,
Some old papers tied with a string.
And of the history of the days of yore,
This bundle became a living thing.

For papers from each state were there.
And, 10, | then read of Montana;
Records of deeds of yalor, l declare
Right beside history of works of art, in this manner.
First, against the darts of the Indians arrow
read, General Miles conducted a campaign,
Not very far from Little Big Horn.
His bravery shown there was not in. vain,
For since 1876 Montanas sun has dawned,
On a city, built, a monument to his name.
OF Charles Marian Russell, l next read,
Who painted with a brush,
Glorious outdoors with vivid hue.
Although the artist is now dead;
1t is with a reverent hush
Before his pictures with admiration due
Man stands, gazing at Redmen, alone,
Just outside civilizations door.
The more l read, saw,
God so generously bestowed;
Treasures at our door.
Like the gold of which the hills is stored,
Treasures in both metal and man.
Gold, shines no brighter than deeds of valor,
Even after death.
And pictures of great value
Gifts, left from the artist, yet,
Towering high as her mountains.
Achievements, Montana is indeed blest.
All this / learned,
From one bundle of old papers, yes,
Costing five cents.
But, worth a million to the glory of Montana.

Boy Scout Troop | Reregisters
Troop / of the Boy Scouts Of
Wolf Point has just finished its
first Charter Year" The troop
has been reregistered with the
following in charge: Troop com
mittee-Dr. j.. r. Burgess, chair
man. F. H. Livingston, A. M. Foor.
Scoutmaster, C. H. Johnson.
The troop was organized Octo-
Der Is, 1929, with eight trans
fers' from ex-1roop v of Wolf
Point. Since January 1, 1890.
fourteen new Scouts have joined
the troop. OF the eight original
transfers" four dropped at re-
registration time. All of the new
Scouts have reregistered. Nine
Scouts have advanced at least one
rank during the last year. They
are: Eugene Dougherty, Robert
Ferguson, John Motterud, Mar
shall Young, Gardner Brownlee,
Earl Schenkenberger, Ben Weld
huis, Raymond Reichert, Roy
Olson.
The Merit Badge a Symbol of :
Achievement
Many of the Scouts are working
on their Merit Badge tests. AL
though many of the lower rank
tests have been passed by rote,
and the Scout has gained but a
mere perception of the Scout
Oath, Scout Law and Motto; in
the higher ranks a Scout should
develop a stronger understanding
of their meaning. In the case Of
a Merit Badge-it is more than
a mere article to be collected.
The Merit Badge is a symbol of
genuine achievement and should
be thought of as such by every
Scout. Before attempting to pass
a Merit Badge test, each Scout
should read the paragraph in the
pamphlets Introduction, which
reads as follows: 1T would de-
Feat the purpose of the Merit
Badge plan if an attempt were
made in the pamphlets to cover
the requirements so completely
to make unnecessary the boys
using his own initiative and re-
sourcefullness in seeking further
information to enable him to meet
he requirements successfully"
Every Scout should be sure he
has this further information" be-
fore attempting to pass the test.
To carry out this purpose-Of
having a boy use his own initial
.ve-the boy must receive support
his home. Parents must co
operate with their boy if he is to
get the most out of the Scout
work. A Scout may do his best
at the weekly meeting, and at
.empt to carry out the sugges-
ions made at that time; but he
carry on a successful
Scout program in one hour and A
lalf per week.

OUR CHILDREN
By ANGELO PATRI.

"I am troubled and confused. My
son and daughter are fine children.
They are intelligent They do good
work in school, They are healthy.
They have rarely been Ill and then only
for brief periods. They are well man
nered, we'll intentioned. But they are
not the kind of children that / hoped
my children would be- Have fatled?"
What sort of children did you hope
yours would be?"
We'll, nice children. Interesting
children. Awfully nice children, you
know"
"Your children are nice. What is it
that you hoped they would do that
they do not do? What pattern Of be-
havior did you set for them and they
refuse it,"
ut is very hard to say. It's sort Of
dream had for my children. wanted
them to be good-not sanity, but good
in a way that would make them differ
ent. They are not different at all.
They are just like any other good chill
dren."
"You wanted your children to dis
tinguish themselves. Give them time.
Maybe they will. Children grow into
the distinguished men and women they
are to become. That takes a lifetime,
provided they have the talents"
But the children in Little Women
the girl in Eight Cousins didn't have
to grow up to distinguish themselves"
Eyes, think they did. The children
In those books were Miss Louisa Alcott.
They had to grow UP in a hard school
before they distinguished themselves at
Little Women and Eight Cousins
Those children are not, never were
children, save as they lived in the mind
Of highly talented writer. And Miss
Alcott was Bronson Alcott's daughter"
It is natural for parents to long to
have distinguished children. Every
generation brings forth its stars in their
several orbits and one cannot but wish.
But II the wish does not come true, is
there any use in troubling ones life
about It? The child that Is yours had
no choice in the composition of his
parts, nor had his parents. All you
can do Is accept and make the best Of
what the gods sent you.
But there is one thing, q very sane
thing, believe, that you can do. You
can adjust yourself to bring up this
child in the life of 1880 and leave of
trying to bring it up in the atmosphere
of by-gone days. This year of our
times is as different from the year in
which you were born as ever q year or
time could be. Your child was born
into world of motors, of telephones,
radios and airplaneS to which you were
stranger. He was born into q world
of ideas as new as the machines. You
cannot turn the clock backward. It is
unwtse to try.

Trimming Dainty Evening Dress
By MARY MARSHALL.

last century, too, bows Of ribbon and
silk were a usual means Of dress trim
ming-and now that the picturesque
fashions of the last century are serving
as a source Of inspiration in dress, 1t
is only natural that we should see re-
vival of bowknotS.
Bows Of narrow pastel-colored rib
bons are used in many ways to trim
dainty evening dresses OF the tngenue
type. and large bowknots with pulled
loops and long ends are used on side
or back of the girdle. Bows OF ribbon
are also used by way OF shoulder or
naments, and hair ribbons tied in bows
are again in fashion for little girls.
The simplest way 20 make bow is
from ribbon, but it is not much trouble
to make one from dress fabric. Velvet
should be cut on the bias and lined
with silk-either chiffon taffeta or silk
crepe. These velvet bows are usually,
not actually tied. The lined velvet is
laid into two loops and two ends and
q small piece of velvet Is drawn across
the center and firmly Sewed into po-

Dear Miss Leeds: Some time ago you
published in your beauty column a
recipe for a facial pack that could be
used on the neck, arms and hands. I

obtained wonderful results. I am call
ing upon you to reprint it, please I
need it badly. MRS. S. j.
Answer think this Is the pack
that your friend has in mind, although
have published several types of facial
packs recently. The following will be
found beneficial: To ounces carbonate

earth, one tablespoonful lemon Juice.
ten drops simple tincture Of benzoin
and SUFFICIENT witch-hazel to mix a
smooth paste. Use your cleansing
cream, remove, and wash your face
with warm water and mild soap; next
apply your hot towels. Have your pack
ready mixed and apply it evenly over
face and neck. Leave it on 20 minutes
to half an hour. Remove with tepid
water. Dry the skin and massage for
several minutes with tissue or skin

Mrs. B. Ell should certainly keep
the child in school. He may be very
backward, and 1t may take him longer
to get started, than it took the other
children. But don't despair. You'll
only discourage the boy If you nag him
too much. Let him be put back If
necessary, until he's developed to a
point where he can at least keep up
with the ether children, even though
they be younger than he.
feel heartily sorry for the child, If
the teacher thinks of giving him up.
She can do a great deal to help him,
by not showing her utter discourage
ment. Let him once become convinced
within his own small mind that he is
the worlds complete dumbell, and he'll
lose the incentive to do better.
You, at home, must keep on cheer
ing him up. He is still at the very
begifi-s%s age. There is no reason to
suppose that he is going to turn out TO
be complete mental failure Just be-
cause he doesn't start off well. Don't
lose patience with him, and don't lose
heart within yourself. My guess is that
In another year, he'll find his feet, and
start of well enough even though he's
slightly behind others of his own age.

The news that Jumper the Hare had

was somewhat disturbed to learn that
Little Joe Otter had a slippery slide
farther up the Laughing Brook he was
not seriously frightened. Still it was

His mother and sister were out, but

Jerry. IT don't mind having Little Joe

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.
Fears.

Fears.
AS we grow older we seem to change
new fears for old. The fears of child
hood are apparently different from
those of adolescence, maturity or senes-
cence. Childhood is by no means a
care-free period OF life.
Another thing, as we grow older we
progressively suffer less from fears. At
least, we should suffer less. Old age
should find you conqueror of your fears.
If not, you may put it down that you
have failed to develop the proper philos-
ophy Of life.
Children fear supernatural powers
mostly. The fear Of death and everlast-
ing punishment has ruined many a
nervous system in the making. At
least, that's what the psychoanalysts
find when they have succeeded in get
ting back to the earliest memories.
Children also suffer intensely from fear
of pain and ridicule. If you want to
ruin child's outlook upon life. point
him out as an object of ridicule. The
ground is laid for an inferiority COM
pick he may never overcome.
Along about the. forties most people
begin to fear the pressure of public
opinion. There is a monster called
they" which seems to be peering at
them from every angle. That's why
men who hold important social positions
so often mistake slight things for enor-
nous bugaboos. A different philosophy
would save many a stampede.
There is one fear, however, that out
lasts them all. And that is the fear
of death. It is called thanataphobia.
Some say that every fear is just one
If the thousands of forms that thanata-
phobia may assume. A few very old
persons have been known to acquire the
philosophy that conquers it.
