your columns and have been impressed
with the reflections made upon the

boss with longing, wondering If he Is
the man she will ever marry; her por-

and all such hints which make the
stenographer or secretary appear love

Common sense warned him that this
would be foolish, most foolish thing
to DO 1t would have been foolish had
he been alone. but with Runty along 1t
would be doubly foolish.
He knew that the common sense
thing to do would be to turn right
around and get away from that part
of the Green Forest as quickly as he
could for the farther he was from that
hen house the less temptation there
would be to visit it. But his mouth
Watered for the taste Of fresh egg and
temptation grew stronger every min

MOURNING CLOAK
Antiopa FaneSSa,

~ REAT drinkers, these butter
flies who get so deep in their
II cups that you can pick them
~ up in your fingers. At this
stage they are SO under the
influence of their drink that they make
no effort whatever to escape. The
mourning cloaks are not even satis-
fled with the pure cider in the orch
ards They must have bootleg in the
form of sap oozing from the freshly
cut trees which so lures them that
the mild nectar from the flowers has
no attraction as long as the trouble
drowning liquid is obtainable.
When the long Winter draws near
these butterflies seek a sheltered spot,
They turn their wings wrong side out
to match the dingy surroundings. You
may see them hanging along the
underside of a fence rail, a creVice in
the brick wall or under the caves
of the porch. If you bring them in
doors they appreciate the hospitality
offered them and lead gay and happy
life fitting about.

Handwriting
What It May Reveal.
BY MILDRED MOCKABEE.
~~AAS
~M G>>-

T@HE very long "Y'' loop, only parti-
ally closed, that Is used in this
sample Of handwriting is very
l. unusual Frequently a writer
using this long, wide type of loop
Is careful to close it, making a very
long ending stroke. From this we may
suspect that this writer would like to
be very practical, determined person,
but she probably falls short of this
mark. Though she may particularly
try to present a stern exterior to the
world, she perhaps is not successful.
Her apparently more natural manner
of unsophistication and pleasantness
would possibly be more familiar to her
friends The rounded letter forms would
also lead US to believe that less buSi-
ness manner Is more truly an express
sion of her personality.
Hers is probably nature that needs
a great deal of love and affection. She
would not thrive in a cold, reserved
atmosphere, but would be more at home
with people who express their emotions
freely. Instead of trying to repress
herself too much, she should be more
completely natural laughing or crying
as her mood may express itself She
should not cultivate an oVeremotional
state, however, as that would be as
harmful as the very restrained one.
She should endeaVOr to broaden her
interests. 1t is possible that her home
or her work has completely filled her
thought. Her times of relaxation are
perhaps not planned, but may occur
frequently or infrequently 1t would be
well for her to have some type of hobby
that would excite entirely new and diff
ferent interests. Relaxation is not
necessarily idleness. but may be merely
change from the days occupation.
This change would, in itself, be the
means Of securing rest.

Mrs. Harry Bouten returned Satur-
day from visit with friends and rel

witnessed the unusually hard wind.
rain and hail storm that visited that
section recently. There was consider
able wind with the storm and the roofs
of a number of barns. chicken coops
and sheds were blown off
The heaviest damage, however, was
done by the hail Crops were totally
destroyed in the path of the storm being
pounded completely into the ground
in many instances. She knew of one
instance where the roof of chicken
shed was torn off and the chickens
whirled into the air and scattered far
and wide. Chickens that remained on
the ground were killed, their heads
being split open by the force of the
hail. Numberless windows were broken
out Of buildings both in Kalispell and
in the country round about A deluge
of rain accompanied the storm and was
SO heavy that it overtaxed the storm

WhitefiSh
Wishes 1oJoin
LinColnCOuntY
Is Dissatisfied With Treat
ment Received by Kaispell
and Would Secede.
PROPOSITION rs
BEING CONSIDERED

The Montana daily press of the past
week carried an item stating that
Whitefish had started a move to secede
from Flathead and join Lincoln couo-
ty. This was no news to a large
number of Lincoln county people
as the matter has been TN
der discussion for serveral weeks.
Whitefish, it appears, is much dissatis-
fled over the treatment it has received
for years at the hands of the people
who dominate Flahead county affairs,
notably in road matters 1t feels It
could be given better treatment by
joining Lincoln county.
Several weeks ago party of White
fish men visited Libby and discussed
the matter with a number of Libby
men who had been called together in
formally. They placed before the
gathering their arguments in favor OF
the proposition. BY taking in terri
tory including Whitefish and that
corner of Flathead county, it would
bring added property value into Lin
coin county. but with it would come
that sections share of the debt of Flat
head county 1t was estimated the debt
Lincoln county would thus have to as
sumo would be approximately $4,000.
There would, of course, be other adj
ditional expenses in administering the
government of the enlarged county, in
Guiding an increased population of APP
proximately 1920 people.
There are many angles to be con-
sidered in regard to proposition of
this kind and these are now being
threshed out by Lincoln county men.
Nothing definite has vet been done re-
garding the matter II the proposition
is proceeded with, the first step re-

Community Fair
May Be Given
Here This Fall
Planning to Revive Practice OF Several
Years Ago-Proyed Very Popular
at That Time.

Announcement was made this week
that serious consideration is being given
to the suggestion that the Womans
club again sponsor fair to be held in
Libby some time this fall Such fair
was given several years ago and proved
SO popular and beneficial that it is be-
lieved the practice ought to be re-
vived
Recently committees from the
Womans Club and the Libby CONNER
cial Club were appointed to arrange
for offering prizes for the best kept
yards in Libby This was gotten under
way SO late that it has been decided il
had best be dropped this year, but
that fair be given instead.
If it is finally decided to go through
with the undertaking, the fair will not
be in any way county fair but will
instead have the character of a COM
munity fair 1t is generally agreed that
the fair will be given and ituould be
well for probable exhibitors to begin
making plans. Detailed announcements
will be made Laser

State Asks To
Use County's Heavy
Road Machinery
Wants II For Grading Gravel Placed
on Highway West of
Libby.

County Commissioners Brink IS in re-
ceipt Of letter from Ray Kuhns Of
Kalispell, district engineer for the
state highway commission, who wishes
to rent the county's big grading outfit
for use on the state highway west oil
town. Kuhns writes that the horse
drawn grader the state has is alto
gether too light to handle the gravel
that has been placed on the highway
and he wishes to rent the county's
heavy machinery. MIR Brink says he
will probably be able to spare the
equipment for few days the first Of
next week.
Following the removal Of the big
slide a few weeks ago, the gasoline
shovel was then used in the applica-
ton of gravel on this piece of highway
Run-of-pit gravel was used which re-
suited in a great amount of large and
over size rocks and gravel being
dumped on the road, which, for the
present at least, has left the road In
a very rough and unsatisfactory condi-
ton. However, it is said that event
ually this oversize stuff will be
worked down into the roadbed ano
will provide a good foundation for the
smaller size gravel or crushed rock
that it is hoped will be applied later.

AUTHORIZES CUTTING OF BRUSH
ALONG IMPORTANT HIGHWAY
c. e. Gilbcrtson Will Remove Obsiruc-
ton Along Road Beyond Happy's Inn.

c. f. Gilbertson Of the McGinnis
Meadows district was in Libby Tues
day comforting with County Commits
sioner Brink in regard to some high
way work between Happy's Inn and
the Flathead county line Mr. Gilbert
son reported that brush had grown up
until it badly obscured vision around
some Of the curves on the highway
causing danger to travellers. In fact
there had recently been an accident
there due to such cause. Mr.. Brink
authorized Mr.. Gilbertson to cut out
the brush where it is thus interfer-
ing with safe travel
The matter Of removing the many
curves in this stretch of highway has
often been discussed The objection tc
expanding the necessary money for
that work is that there is every prob
ability that the state will construct .
new highway through that district
within few years and that money
spent there now would be money
thrown away Mr.. Brink says he con-
siders it would be waste of funds te
spend from $1,000 to $500 there and
have the work abandoned when the
final highway is located and built.

BETTER METAL PRICES
GOOD NEWS TO MINERS

SPOKANE-Two items of mining
news published this week are Of in
terest to all the people of the Inland
Empire. One was the unlocked for, but
very welcome news of the rise in metal
prices, lead advancing quarter of a
cent pound, and silver two cents an
ounce, representing an increase OF $50
600 monthly in receipts Of the mining
companies OF the Occur d'Alenes.
Every man whose livelihood depends
on the mines sees in the better prices
the time when production will increase
il there are further advances.
The other interesting fact is that the
Sullivan Mining Company is selling
more zinc than it Is producing at its
electrolytic zinc plant at Kellogg. Ac-
cording to the report the reserve stock
is being drawn on to complete orders
The plant is producing 30 tons Of
metal daily, as compared with pro-
duction of IL tons daily in the last
half Of 1890 Also the American Metal
Market states that the demand Of high
grade zinc is growing.
One of the largest buyers Of Bunker
Hill zinc is said to be the Genera
Motors corporation. and constantly new
uses for this metal are being fount
by various manufacturers.

A Western Industry is Prospecting.

SPOKANE.-The Tourist Trade
is a growing industry, certainly in the
scenic Northwest, and early reports for
this year indicate that in Yellowstone,
Spokane, and the Inland Empire it is
thriving.
The registrations at cabin camps in
Spokane last week were 30 per cent
better than for the same period last
year, and 10 per cent better than dur
ing the same week of the banner tour
list year, 1929. Also the Spokane NUM-
cipal camp was opened in response to
the number of cars arriving and the
desire Of tourists to stay there.
A report to the Spokane Chamber Of
Commerce from Yellowstone Nationa
Park, states that the tourist registra-
ton at the park for the period ended
June 10 was 43 per cent ahead of the
same period last year, and it is esti-
mated that one half the travel enter
ing Yellowstone will pass through ths
Inland Empire and Spokane.
