SUGGESTS PLAN FOR
SALE OF DEER HIDES
Would Have Them Sold to Deputy
Game Wardens Throughout State.

A matter discussed at some length
at a recent meeting of the Libby Rod
and Gun club was whether or not it
would be possible to arrange for the
sale of deer hides. A committee was
appointed at that time to look into the
matter
A. r. Gibson now comes forward
with suggestion that he believes
would be well to put into practice. He
would have deputy game wardens en-
powered to buy deer hides from the
public and they in turn would dispose
of them to hide buyers. Whatever
profit accrued to the state in the trans
action should be turned into the funds
Of the state fish and game department
ITS a shame" said Gibson, TO sec
all the deer hides 60 to waste. If a
person wants to buy pair of gloves
or moccasins he sure has to pay a
stiff price for them. BY having the
game wardens buy the raw hides there
would be no danger of anyone going
into the business OF killing deer for
their hides"

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
DISCUSS TAX MATTERS
Object TO Action Taken by State Board
Of Equalization in Some Counties.

Object TO Action Taken by State Board
OF Equalization in Some Counties.
County Commissioner H. E Brink re-
turned home Saturday from attending
the annual meeting of the county COM
missioners of the state held at Mis-
soula last week A number of matters
were discussed and resolutions will be
presented to the state legislature ask
ing for enactment of certain meas
ures.
One thing that the commissioners
condemned was the practice of the
state board of equalization of overrid-
ing the work of the county assessor in
some counties. The chairman of the
board of county commissioners of
Beaverhead county told how certain
large acreage belonging to an estate
had been assessed at the prevailing
valuation. A reduction in the assess
ment was asked and refused by the
county commissioners on the ground
that the land in question was assessed
at the same valuation as surrounding
tracts. The owners appealed to the state
board of equalization, which made an
examination and reduced the valuation,
but left adjoining holdings assessed at
the former valuation. Whereupon the
county commissioners ignored the &C
ton of the state board of equalization
and retained the valuation placed by
the county assessor Any commissioners
present who had had similar expert
ence with the state board were asked
to raise their hands and commissioners
from L. other counties reported sim
liar trouble.
Mr.. Brink also reports an almost
unanimous dsapproval of the budget
law by county commissioners. They
take the stand that instead of reducing
county expenditures it is resulting in
pilinp up additional burdens on the
county, because Of the necessity to
hire more clerical help and purchase
expensive record books and supplies

SausARes Known to Greeks

Sausage making did not, as many
believe, Originate In Germany, says b
writer In the Milwaukee Journel.. Its
real beginning Is unknown, but by 500
b. G. sausage was gracing the tables
Of the Greek epicures. The dep
nosophists,' the oldest cook book ex-
tant, which is dated 2a8 A. D., ex-
plains that sausages were prepared
with meat and blood and a great
deal of seasoning Epicharmus, the
Greek writer Of comedies, mentions
sausages, calling them oyrae, a name
by which he even satellites one Of his
plays, the "Qrya." A little later, in
423 b. G., Aristophanes says In hs
play, "Trhe Clouds" let them make
sausage of me and serve me up TO the

There is one less deer in this dis
trict, all because the deer used poor
judgment and jumped suddenly onto
the highway near Warland as Emil
Jacobs was speeding along in his car.
A collision followed, resulting in
breaking the deer's leg, whereupon
Jacobs killed the animal and brought
it in to Game Warden Darlington, who
disposed of it to the Montana Cafe.
Darlington says the deer was rolling
fat, one of the latest deers he had
ever seen.

COSTS $3.50 PER
PUPIL IN SCHOOLS

other claims to provide equally as good
instruction and as comfortable a school
house for s43.34.
From these figures there is but one
conclusion: Money of the taxpayers is
being wasted and carelessly spent in
some districts, while in other costs may
have been held down TO a point where
the efficiency of the schools is actually
in question"
There are several pages of compare
tive figures, too many to be published
here, but few taken regarding local
and nearby schools will be of interest.
The cost of running the schools of
Lincoln county during 1880 was
S99ls. per pupil, with All original en-
rollment of 1,640 pupils, the total cost
IN the county being $162,67S. In Flat
head county the cost per pupil was
s80.29, with 4.573 pupils and toal cost
OF S375,07 in the county In Lake
county the cost was 1882 per pupil,
with 2,249 pupils and total cost in
the county of $187.4OO In Sanders
county the cost per pupil was $1487s,
with l,202 pupils and a total expense
in the county of $178,780 These fig
ures are for running expenses only and
do not include money spent for new
buildings, grounds, interest and re-
demption of debts.
The cost-running expenses only
of the Libby public and high school
is given as S83-19 per pupil attending,
an average daily attendance of GAL,
with total running expense for the
year of S53,324.
Whltefish has a per pupil expense
of S87.54 an average daily attendance
Of ISL, and a total yearly expense of
S68,367. Troy has per pupil expense
OF sll7I1, an average attendance of
174, and a total annual expense Of
s2O,3S7.
In communities where the high
school is county high school and
therefor conducted separately from the
elementary schools, the costs are some
what different. In Kalispell the elemen-
tary schools cost $8052 per pupil, with
an average daily attendance of lO41, and
total annual cost of $83,822. In Eu-
reka the per pupil cost was $87 95, an
average daily attendance of 178 and
an annual cost Of s15,655 These fig
ures are likewise for running ex-
penses only.
A study of the figures given in the
bulletin shows that the cost of Goa
Quoting schools in Lincoln county, in
Guiding those in the incorporated cities,
occupies happy medium position.
which would indicate that the cost is
probably not too high on the one hand
and not too low on the other.
In closing the bulletin says.
The cost of grade school education
ner pupil in Thompson Falls is s2O6.4 Al,
in Manhattan. S6342 high school cost,
S181.29 in THOMPSON Falls; in Man
haitian, sl1481. There may be good
reasons for these seemingly glazing in
constituencies. The taxpayers are the
stockholders incur puplic school sys-
tenn. Let's have a meeting and find
out what it is all about.

sary and sends this Bulletin to 7600O

These Icy Modern Lovers

These Icy Modern Lovers
Marriage used to be a "life
sentence" but, nowadays, any
good lawyer can get it commu-
ted, in 10 minutes. at Reno.
Falling in love is Natures
own spring tonic for the Tired
Soul. Heaven pity the man
whose path is so covered with
the ashes of cyniciSm that he
can't even skid into a mild
little Maytime romance! He is
or his way to the wheel-chair.
The primary requisite for
catching a mans interest is
sweet indifference. AS long as
a modern girl goes husband
hunting with war-paint and a
drum she is giving men all the
good breaks; and every mans
first break will be a break
and run.
The woman who appeals to
a mans vanity may stimulate
him; the woman who appeals
to his eye may attract him; and
the woman who appeals to his
intelligence may amuse him.
But it's the woman who appeals
to his imagination that GETS
him.
This is the time of year when
a man offers you a lot of flat
terry, a soupcon Of sentiment
and a handful of impertinence
and calls it 'love."
Marriage is like mayonnaise,
it requires a lot of oil, a little
sugar and very little vinegar IN

She Bushes and Is Shy

DEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
What does one do to con-
quer baShfulness? Is there any
cure? If so, I wish you would
help me. Since I was a little
girl I've known a boy three
years older who lives on a farm.
Whenever any holidays come
around, Mother and I go UP
there. This boy never paid any
attention to me before. I sup.
pose it was because we were
both kids, but he does now
that we're both grown up. /
am going on seventeen. I go
out with boys occasionally but,
because of my shyness, I can't
hold on to them even though
I like some of them. The last
time we went up to the farm
this boy was there. I could not
think of a thing to say and
when he spoke to me got so
nervous that Stammered and
suffered and got as red as a
beet and could not give a nice
answer. Naturally, this made
us both uncomfortable. Now
that I am older I know by the
way he looked at me that he
would like to know me better
and I, in turn, would be the
happiest girl in the world if I
could get over this shynesS and
win this boys friendship.
Miss Fairfax, do you think
that I will ever be able to
overcome this dreadful bashful-
ness and shyness and be able
to be lively and peppy and have
good times? Won't you please
try to help me?
BASHFUL.
You and all the other girls
who write me similar letters, be-
wailing shyness and bashful-
ness, have no idea how really
charming these two qualities Of
youth and artlessneSs are in
this brassy age. I'd like to
show you scores Of letters writ

me that Shameless betters"

curdle.
Nowadays, every girl SENS to
be doing something to catapult
her into the limelight. But the
number of things that she can
do to make the world catch its
breath is rapidly dwindling.
Everything has been done and
overdone, from publicly bath
ing in champagne to shooting
your grandmother.
A car is like a wife. When
a man first gets them, he is
awfully afraid that somebody
will try to steal them; but,
after few years, he begins to
wonder wistfully why somebody
doesn't.

DIET AND HEALTH
BY DR.. Logan Clendining-

saw man who, after deatn
from sunstroke, retained a tenn
perature in the body OF over
l08-thiS an hour after death.
The pulse is rapid and weak
The heart fluttery. The skin
pale and dry.
One attack makes the victim
susceptible to others. Loss OF
memory is frequently noteo
after a SunStroke.
Treatment consists in reduc-
ing the temperature of the body
and increasing the tone OF the
heart and circulation. The first
thing to do is to remove the pa
tient to a cool place. AS soon
as possible get all the clothes
off.
The Best Remedy
Water is the sovereign rem
edy here. 1t is best not to nave
it too cold at first on account OF
the shock. Ice baths, such as
are often practiced, have not as
good results as tepid or cool
water. The water should be
cast on the body with some
force. Thus hose sprinkle or
water dashed on the patient
with a bucket is good treat
ment.
Such emergency treatment
should be known to everyone
who has to spend the summer
in a hot part of the world. It
is all that is necessary before
the doctor arrives.

Sunstroke is caused by a
profound disturbance of the
heat-regulating mechanism OF
the body. There are many de-
grees of it. Heat exhaustion
is a milder form which occurs
in workers in heated rooms or
factories, such as stokerS, roof
erS, miners, etc. The symptoms
are muscle cramps, dizziness,
weakness, pallor and profuse
perspiration.
SunStroke is more severe and

may be sudden and catas-
trophic with instant death.
More often there are premoni-

dizziness, nausea, disturbances
of vision.
A Summer Axiom
It may be put down as a
summer axiom that anyone
who is exerting violently on
a hot day and who feels a
headache gradually growing
worse, should go indoors in a
dark room. loosen the clothing,
apply cool water to the face,
head and hands, and rest un-
