AFTER SATURDAY NIGHT
TRAGEDY
MOTHER, A WIDOW, DEsPoNDENT
OVER ILL HEALTH. SUICIDE
PREMEDlTATED. BELIEVE
SHE STRUCK GIRL ON
SPUR OF MOMENT.

Townspeople of Red Lodge were
shocked Saturday night on hearing
of the violent death of Mrs. Hilma
Hietila, 55, and the subsequent
death of her daughter, Eleanor,
16-year-old high school student,
who was brutally struck over the
head with a heavy iron spike-bar
in the hands of her mother at their
North Haggin Avenue home some
time between 8 and 10 o'clock that
night.
Mrs. Hietila is believed to have
become temporarily deranged from
despondency over i'll health. She
suffered from pernicious anaemia.
She claimed her daughter was also
siekly. Officers pointed out that
Mrs. Hietila had made preparations
for her own destruction earlier in
the day as rope had been care
fully adjusted in the barn. 1t will
perhaps never be known what her
motive was in fatally wounding
her daughter.
The unconscious form of Eleanor
was found lying in pool of blood

sister, Elizabeth, aged about Is,

dying girl was rushed to a hospital
where she passed away about 10
O'Clock Sunday night without re-
gaining consciousness. Her injuries
consisted of a double fracture of
the skull, with conclusion of the
brain. Paralysis spread along her
right side a few hours before she
Sheriff John Albert and Coroner
R. G. Martin reached the scene Of
the tragedy soon after Eleanor
had been removed to the hospital.
They found Mrs. Hietila's body
hanging from a rafter in the barn,
at the rear of the house. She had
been dead about an hour. Examin-
alton disclosed deep burns in the
mouth, apparently caused by poi
son, that she had swallowed after
fatally wounding Eleanor. The
girl, it was said, had been absent
rom school several days because of
slight illness and cold, and had
spent part of the day, Saturday,
n bed.
A son and brother, Emil, 23.

Mr.. Hartwig expects to line up
four more games for the season, a
couple of them with Big Timber,
another game with Belfry and q
game with Billings.
-Four lettermen will form the
nucleus Of Carbon's 1880 aggrega-
tion, according to Coach Hartwig
From last years battling squad
Verne Schwin, John Doran, Rufael
Puumala and George Pollock have
been placed on the regular team.
Mr.. Hartwig has had considerable
good material in the first workouts
and from about 25 he expects to
select the remainder of his first
team after the Carbon -Rapelje
game, in which he will use about
Is players. Prospects appear good
for a successful season, the coach
said. He has pushed his material

fundamentals.
Red Lodge is again expected
to figure as strong contender
for district basketball honors next
February. Edgar, Big Timber and
Laurel are likewise expected to put
up first class teams. Carbonites
died hard in district championship
manuvers in 1929. Edgar has
record of four wins and one loss
to date, dropping it's opening en-
counter the the Laurel railroaders.
It will be recalled that Laurel put
up determined battle in 1929. Big
Timber has the usual scrappy quin-
5et, well seasoned with veterans.

POST MASTER URGES
EARLY XMAS SHOP
PING AND MAILING
POINTS OUT THAT DELIVERY
EXPEDITED WITH cooPERA-
TiON OF PUBLIC
PARCELS FOR FOREIGN
DESTINATIONS MUST
BE MAILED NOW

Early mailing of Christmas par
GELS and greeting cards by the pub
lie is again urged by Postmaster
G. R. Northrop. Observance of the
many points mentioned below in
mailing parcels will enable the
postoffice force to distribute gift
packages promptly and efficiently,
which will aid in eliminating the
congested conditions sometimes a.
rising during the holiday season.
The postmaster recommends the
insurance of all Christmas par
cells to avoid damage to the gifts.
All parcels should be securely
wrapped or packed, using strong
paper and heavy twine.
Articles easily broken or dam
aged must be plainly marked ''fra-
gile". Addresses should be COM
plete, with return card placed in
the upper left corner of every
piece of mail.
Postage must be fully prepaid.
No parcel may be more than Sd
inches in length and girth COM
bined. For delivery locally and in
the first, second and third zones,
70 pounds is the maximum weight,
in all other zones, so pounds.
Written matter in the nature of
personal correspondence can not
be enclosed in parcels. This rule oi
course applies at all times. A lei
ter placed in an envelope, addressed
to correspond with the address Oh
the parcel and fully prepaid at the
lfirst-class rate, may be tied or
otherwise securely attached to the
outside of the parcel in such man
ner as to prevent separation and
IN such manner as not to obscure
the address on the parcel.
Articles likely to spoil within
the time reasonably required for
transportation and delivery will
not be accepted for mailing.
Special delivery stamps should
be used to expedite delivery where
contents of some parcels are "per
lshable". The parcels should like.
wise be marked "perishable".
The outside wrapping of parcels
should have but very few Christ
mas stickers, as these often OBJ
scure the address.
The Red Lodge postoffice each
year send considerable Christ
mas mail to European countries.
Owing to long sea travel and Gus
,oms inspections it is necessary
hat parcels for foreign delivery be
nailed now.

When the late J. Morgan was
very young, crossing the ocean with
his father, the latter gave him this
advice:
Remember, my son. that any man
who is bear on the future Of this
country will go broke"
That is as true now as 1t was
half century ago, and citizens will
do we'll to remember it.
Railroad men, including the great
est in the United States, represent
ing 90 per cent of all the railroads,
pledged themselves to avoid cutting
wages or discharging men and to
employ as many more men as pos
sible.
This they do In the face of de-
creased railroad earnings, an ex-
cellent example to other employers.
The farm board has held up the
price of American wheat by spend
ing a million dollars day to buy
grain and take it out of the market.
Wheat has been selling at Winni-
peg and Liverpool as low as IS
cents below the American price.
This means that other wheat
producing countries have been
changing their wheat into money,
and sending it where it will be
eaten.
Regular airplane travel is
planned between Chicago and New
York in eight and half hours or
less.
That interests railroad men.
Four young people in Buffalo de-
cided to see the Yale-Princeton
game at Princeton, N. J. They
made the trip in one day in small
automobile. For gas and oil the
cost was $4.10. Railroad tickets
for the four, not including pullman,
would cost $72.
Permitting railroads to increase
their rates would not solve that
problem.
When Mussolini encounters a
problem he does something.
Italy faces deficit of $36, 100000.
Mussolini cuts all official salaries
12 per cent.
He cuts cabinet members at the
top and all the way down, army and
navy officers, school teachers, police
clerks.
That would not be popular here,
and it isn't necessary.
But our national government and
big cities might well try cutting off
employees that accumulate as
barnacles accumulate on a ship.

Vitamine A is essential for growth,
well-being at all ages, and successful
reproduction. A deficiency of this vi.
famine leads to the weakening of the
body tissues, and increased suscepti-
bility to bacterial infection. If lab

body. 1t is thought that similar in
fammatory and infective processes in
the human body occur when there Is
a deficiency of vitamine A.
Fortunately the body has the power
Of storing this vitamine to a consider
able extent for future needs. An
abundant supply of it in early life un-
doubtedly safeguards the body against

Milk and dairy products. eggs, liver,

in it than the corresponding white

Check Over Spring Clothing Needs

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Probably very few people nowadays
set aside definite period for ''spring
sewing" as in the days of our moth
ers. Clothes are much simpler, and
sewing is done between and around
other tasks, as it were. Ready-made
garments, too. are more dependable
than formerly, so there is not the
same need for a fortnight or so of
strenuous dressmaking. Practically
all homemakers, however. must at
some time between freezing tempera-
lures and the first coatless days, go
over all the family wardrobes. and de-
eide what can be used another sea-
son, and what must be discarded, re-
modelled. or replaced.
AS result of this inspection, the
needs of each member of the house
hold should be listed. One can then
see at glance what is to be pur-
chased ready-made, and what mate
rials will be needed for home sewing.
While attending bargain sales is sup
