There are 10 structures in the
Hills areas mapped by geOlogists.
The Sweetgrass Hills oil fields

Diary. There is no area IN the
United States more petroliferous
than this district, yet il has been
exceedingly slow in development
This is probably due to the fact
that most Of Il Is controlled by
one corporation which has moved
slowly, whereas had it been wide
open TO lease men and operators
as was the Border field, It might
today be a point Of tremendous
activity.

The design comes in the right size

and eheckerboard squares is pictured.

wanted, send to the same address, in
close 10 cents with but one self-a6-
dressed and stamped envelope. The
checkerboard design requires no pattern.
It Is made by changing to a contrast
ing color whenever the limit of one
check is reached. In this and all the
duplex crochet, work over the strand
of color that should be invisible. Start
the contrasting color strand in the final
loop of the last stitch in the old color.
The rug stitch is plain crochet. Take

DO not attempt to enlarge design
unless you are familiar with stitchery

When a rug is made in one piece all

A Sermon for Today
Encouragement.

encouragement.
Fear net, neither be discouraged. -
| Deut., i.2l.
There is scarcely anything that has
cheated the world out of so much as
encouragement. What splendid things
men have set out to do, but failed to
do, because they allowed something to
discourage them end turn them back!
We can never knowitow much has been
lost to the world in this way
Discouragement is q danger against
which we all need to be constantly on
guard. There is nothing else that will
so quickly break one down. 10 very
soon shrouds you in gloomy atmos-
phere. 1t makes you feel that the gods
have singled you out to be trampled on
and causes you to become bitter and
cynical, and when you get into that
state you are untitled for your work. Not
only so, but you become obnoxious to
the people around you. Unless you very
quickly pull yourself together and get
out Of that mood, the world will soon
count you out and mark you down
among its failures.
The strange thing is that many of
US, knowing full well the danger Of dis
couragement, yield to it so easily. In
deed, some seem to court 1t. They seem
to find sort of relief in dropping down
into dispirfted mood. They make no
effort to overcome this mood and seem
to resent the efforts of those who try
to encourage them. And thus they
spend most Of their days in the valley
of shadows and know little Of what 1t
means to feel the thrill and Joy of living
on the Mountain top, where the sun
Is shining.
We all have our experiences Of diff
Guilty, of disappointment, of suffering
that tend to discourage us, but, after all
Is said, most of us have more things to
encourage us than we have to discour-
age us. We have more bright days than
cloudy days. The winds of fortune are
favorable to US more often than unfa-
variable. But. better than this, proVi-
sion is made for us In the grace Of God,
by which we may overcome all the odds
that rise against us and be more than
conquerorS. Fear not, neither be dis
ceuraged." That is the divine COM
mand. And this command Is accom-
panied by the divine promise, MY pres
ence shall go with thee" Instead of
yielding when we meet with contrary
circumstances, let us trust in God and

do that and we shall be safe from the
peril of diScouragemnt.

Personal HEALTH SERVICE

vaIvllar disease who live good long lives
without ever becoming aware OF the
handicapped condition of the heart, but
that is Just good luck. 1t Is much bet
ter, everything considered, that the in
dividual with a valvular leakage be in
formed of it as soon as the diagnosis Is
made.
On The other hand, think it Is the
sBres test of an incompetent doctor
when a patient or his friends are in
form that there is a tmurmur or
that the heart is "just a little weak"
or any such vague guess as that In lieu
of a definite diagnosiS or frank decla-
ration that the doctor does not know
what If anything Is the matter. There
ars a lot Of people worrying through
life under some such burden and in
every instance it spells medical 1ncom-
pstence or dishonesty. 1t takes good,
reliable doctor to dare to say, Il don't

Is there any s.nse in the idea that
damaged or leaky heart valves can pos
sibly increase. persons days? To
understand this you must first under
stand what valvular leakage Is; the
condition otherwise called valvular dis
ease, chronic endocaTditis, and naitral
INSURGENCY or aortic stenosis accord
ing to the valve affected or the char
acter of the lesion without going
into the particular nature or cause of
the damage herr, suffice that the mitral
valve Is membranous structure which
normally permits blood to pass from
the auricie-the cavity which receives
the blood from the lungs-into the main
heart cavity, the vsntricle; but closes
TO prevent any backflow or leakage Of
the blood into the auricle again while
the ventricie is contracting and COM

the great artery. II this mitral valve
becomes roughened or distorted it can
not close perfectly, and there viii be
more or less backward leakage of blood
through IL when the heart beats. A
trifling leakage with each heart beat.
The inevitable effect Of such a valvu-
lar leakage is that the heart must DO
more work at each beat in order to
maintain efficient circulation; it must
pump the normal amount of blood plus
the amount that leaks back between
beats. In order to accomplish this the
heart inevitably enlarges, more muscle
Is developed IN the wall OF the heart;
so enlargement of the heart" is a
natural and essential feature of any
valvular leakage.

defect is a permanent one. Your heart

OUR CHILDREN
BH ANGELO PATRI.
Child Talk.

Child TaIk.
Ali that child says may not be In
spired by wisdom, but he is to be heard
in spite of all that, The best way
know to get acquainted with q man is
to listen to him talk. The more he
talks the more / learn about him. If
listen long and earnestly he will soon
have given me clear picture OF the sort
Of being he is, which is exactly what
would like to know. There is, likewise,
no surer way of understanding a child.
OF, course, there is usually some diff
flcuIty about getting the child started.
He is likely to talk about everything
under the sun when he does start. 1t
is the part CT wisdom here to sit still
and use the ears Everything that a
child sees, everything that his mind
touches, Is expressed through his actions,
his words, his bearing, colored by what
We call his personality.
One child sees a bird on the flower
ing shrub and stands at gaze, reverent,
thrilled, elated, Another child sees the
same bird and instantly throws a stone
at 1t. The personality of each eolored
his conduct. When the children tell
their mothers about what they saw, the
two stories will differ as widely as the
two actions, each colered again by the
personality through which 1t was de-
nvered.
There is much hidden from teachers
and mothers. They cannot see all that
children do. They cannot hear all they
personalities with all sorts of DISCUSSES,
words, actions, poses, attitudes-all in
tended to hide the child that they are
and to present the child you are sup
posed to admire. Now If your admira-
ton Is extended to q fine child, the
personality will bend every effort to-
ward being that child. Sometimes
childish judgment errs on what is adj
mirable and bids for your approval with
the wrong gesture. How Is one to know?
To be sure? Listen, Listen with sin
certify, with hope, with honesty.
1t is easy to deceive ones self about
one wants to hear. 1t Is easy to pre-
tend. Easy to make the wish father
the decision. Listening with sincerity is
not easy. Listening without crying out,
without criticism, without shock, Is pos
sible, but not easy. Yet one must master
the art of listening If one is to deal
wisely with children.
Listen until you can hear the voice
Of fear in the braggart. Listen until
you can hear power in the shy story
of effort. Listen SO that you can detect
the voice CT self justification in the
story of a decision rendered self1shly
Listen with the keen ears of experience
so that you discern the questions under
lying the cocksure recital of an ig-
norant mind struggling with new and
dangerous situations. Listen with all
your mind and with all your heart and
with all y2ur soul, for there is much
need.
And let your words be few, so that
they may be the more welcome.

THE SHIP GOOD FORTUNE SAILS ACROSS THE MAGIC CARPET

yThis unity of direction of stitches must
be followed when rugs are made in sep
arate squares or strips, afterward sewed
or crocheted together. Remember this
when making rugs with ship borders.
Those at one end must be crocheted
frem hull to sail-top, while the ships
at the other end much be crocheted in
reverse order, When the ships extend
all around a rug, those along the sides
must be crocheted from side to side of
squares. Those at ends as described
aheve. This same direction of stitehery
must be followed when the fish and
seaReed border Is employed A rug
can be as adequate a floor covering
whatever the direction of the stitchery,
but 1t cannot be well constructed floor
covering. 1t bespeaks amateur crafts
manship.
Rug yarn, rags Of any materials,
stockings and lutte yarn all make good
mediums for these rugs. Cut strips
Of material or stockings wide enough
to form strands equal in size to the
