Hill ranch a certain field of wheat
that was sown in good season in
the Spring responded with a very
thin stand, because OF scant moist
IRE. What came up withered and
turned brown. Then some late
June rains came and some more
of the wheat came up. Drouth
killed it. July 20 more rain fell.
the rest OF the wheat came up. In
the last days of September Mr..
Hagen CHANGED TO cross the thistle
covered field and in a low portion
he was surprised to find quite a
stand of ripe wheat among the
weeds. October 1st he combined
some OF II and hauled home so
bushels.

edge of Valley county sowed a 40
acre field with wheat after the

CULBERTSON BRIDGE
AN ASSURED PROJECT

The Culbertson bridge was plac-
ed on the okehed list of public
works at a recent Salt Lake con-
ference of highway officials and
is welcomed as extra good news
by all parts of northeastern Mon
tana. The bridge will be of ines
Unable value to Roosevelt and
Richland counties and will be of
commercial value to Culbertson.
1t will also promote another north
and south highway. Presumably
the contract will be let sometime
next year.
Congressman Leavitt, who was
the principal speaker, reports that
the bridge jubilee, at Sidney last

DENNIS FLAHAVEN, 9TH
ERS TALK FRIDAY

The principal address at the
Woman's club convention session
Thursday evening was made by
Mrs. Maggie Smith Hathaway
whose subject was the White
House conference. Dolly Dean Bur
CESS of Helena also spoke. Very
delightful musical numbers we're
furnished by the following; Kath-
crime Lien, Cleo Taylor and Har-
riet Strand of Frazer who played
two piano trios; Henry Schiesser
of Glasgow, accompanied by Mrs.
Reece, who played as violin solos
Schubert's Ave Maria, and Dream
of Youth; Miss Tuckman Of Pop
lar, accompanied by Mrs. Merrill.
who played Beethoven's Rondino
and two other violin selections;
and Mrs. Catherine Mcleod of
Dodson who sang, accompanied on
the piano by Mrs. Severson. The
musical numbers were all OF high
order and delighted the audience.
The White House Conference
Mrs. Hathaway outlined the his
tory Of the Whitehouse convention
The first conference raj called
by President Roosevelt in 1909.
Previous to that time, what hap
pened to orphans or unwanted
children was rather a matter of
chance, and once a child had been
given away to a founding institu-
ton there was no certainty that
that child could ever be traced.
President Roosevelt believed that
conditions should be bettered, and
called the White house conference,
which resulted in the children's
bureau being established at Wash
ington, medical service and prena-
tai care and advice for mothers.
etc. A second conference was call
ed in 1919 and it was intended to
have another in 1929, but on ac-
being ready to report, this con
ference was not held until Novem-
her 1890. when some 1900 people
rel called 10 Washington from
all parts of the United States. Mrs.
Hathaway was n of those who
attended from Montana. The re-
suit Of this conference was the
Children's Charter (printed in the
Herald last winter), which, if it
could be carried out in its entir-
ETY., would bring about almost ide-
al conditions for the growth and
development Of children.
After telling about the confer
ence, Mrs. Hathaway discussed
conditions in the state of Montana
She says that the work Of the
WhiteHouse conference will be
valueless unless it is put into prac-
teal operation. It's up to us. she
says, to make our community the
place for children to live
in. Montana has made longer
strides in the health line than any
other line. but there isn't enough
to do the job as it should
be done. If there could be public
health nurses in every county for
twelve months in every year, in
stead Of a few nurses serving two
Dr. three months in a county. much
more could be accomplished. Mrs
stressed the need of
or district welfare units
and advocated the licensing and
supervision of all maternity homes.
She said that there should be a
state fund to match county funds

In those old days, Mr.. Proctor said,
his cronies used to meet on the corner

an address praising Foster the musi-

that the name of the Association OF

lesped to his feet and confronted
her With stifled exclamation Of
dismay, Stellara turned and sought
10 escape, but the Korsar was too
close and too quick and, reaching
forth, he seized her roughly by the
hair.

can not escape Bohar the Bloody?"
he demanded. you are mine and

no chance whatever that you may

come. mate willingly with me. and

he drew her slim figure into his
embrace.
Never, cried Stellara, and she
struck him in the face with her two
clenched fists.
With an oath, Bohar seized the
girl by the throat and shook her.
You she-ryth" he cried, IF I did
not want you SO badly, I should kill
you, and, By the god of Korsar. if
ever you strike me again, I shall
kill you"
Then kill me- cried Stellara.
Tor I should rather die than mate
with you" and again she struck
him with all her strength full in
the face
Bohar frothed with rage as he
closed his fingers more tightly upon
the girls soft neck. Die, then,
YOU"
The words died upon his lips and
he wheeled about as there fell upon
his ears mans loud voice raised
in anger. As he stood there, hest

He fought like wild beast, for
getting all that David Inness had
taught him. His one thought was
to kill; it mattered not how, just
SO long as he killed, and Botar, on
the defensive. fighting for his life,
battled like a cornered rat.
Stellara slowly opened her eyes
as she recovered from the swoon
into which she had passed beneath
the choking fingers of Bohar the
Bloody. At first she did not recog-
