lie servant. More than a century
and a quarter has elapsed since his
death, yet the influence Of his
policies remains an important fac
tor in many of our institutions. A
knowledge of his life and the mo-
tives which guided him in his pub
lie service is essential to a clear
understanding of our government
and its functions. If We are to
perform our duties as citizens in
an intelligent manner we must
have clear conception of them
and their relation to our public in

study of the life on the man
who, more than any other individ-
ual, guided the destinies of our ma

organization OF our republic.

above all stimulate his creative
ability. If he is artistic get him
something to further his ambitions,
If he likes 20 draw there are painSs,
crayons and other drawing me-
diums. or if ne shows talent for
sculpturing there are many kinds
of clay sets that will help him
pass many an amusing hour. If
he is wild get him something TO
keep his interest in saner chan
nels. If he is quiet, get him some
thing to stimulate his interest in
the out-of-doors, or in games with
other youngsters his age. But the
main thing is that your gift should
not be a frivolous or careless one,
but a gift that will not only aid
the youngster in enjoying himself
but will delicately be constructive.

Washington. On that day will be-

All athletic gifts are constructive
because they are conducive to
health. The other types 1 have
explained above.
There Are Always Books
Find out his taste in books be-
fore you buy him one. Does he
like the classics, then he will Ike
THE Last of the Mohicans' by
James Fennimore Cooper, if he
likes sentiment he will enjoy "The
Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come
by John Fox, Jr., if it is adven-
ture he Graves, get him Charles
Fingers Courageous Companions
or any OF VIII James books, if he
likes stories of the western COW
boy.
Gifts for School Work
You will never be wrong If you
give him something that will make
his school work easier, such as
fountain pen or pen and pencil SET
or portable typewriter. Buying
gifts for the younger generation
gives the most pleasure of all IN
the actual choosing, because you
feel, momentarily as it is, tha'
you are helping this child on W
toward a life through which you
have already passed.

short and only a lew CIrlStinaossS
pass and they are no longer child
rem. SO it is genuine pleasure
to surprise and plan for them at
Christmas time.
Choosing for Children
Children have always had a vital
personality of their own. But now
because of the rapid advances
taken in child psychology in
schools. in books and in general
thought that is spread abroad.
their little beings are not regarded
lust as one of a group Of children,
but as individuals with individual
though immature tastes. That is
what YOU must consider when buy
ing a gift for a child. Don't buy
something you had. or would have
liked to have had as a child, I'M
les you are certain that the re-
cin.ent feels. the same way about
IT, Christmas gifts are given with
The hope that they will bring
pleasure. Since. pleasure is SO ne
cessary a part Of every child's life,
the gift you give should make him
or her very happy.
Know Your Child
If BOYS are inventive, get them
mechanical sets that will teach
them how to build bridges and tur-
bines, vessels and castles, and Will
a. the same time satisfy their in
ventive genius. For tiny fellows
building blocks still amuse, while
there are miniature mechanical
cranes that actually lift stones
when wound up. This modern age
has introduced airplanes into the
sky and the toy manufacturer
have introduced them into toy
shops. where they are to be had in
almost as many different models
as there are in reality. Fer the
older, inventive type of boy there
are sits to be bought from which
miniature airplanes that can really
fly may be constructed.
Fer the Athletic Child
This season suggests for the attn
letic boy ice skates as first on the
list. Hockey sticks are also favor
ties with young ice skaters. There
are sleds of all sizes and kinds
small fliers, big fliers. and bob
sleds and toboggans. This would
depend upon the locality in which
the boy lives. or the winter sports
grounds that ne has access 60
Then there are boxing gloves
which are always received with
glad hand They mean a ehanc'
for exercise and physical proves
an ambition near every boys heart
Gifts That Last
For the older boy of from twelv'
up to fifteen you may get a gif
that will last him on into his man
hood. For instance moving pic
ture camera which will teach him
while he is still in his tende
years, the recording of events il
his life and in that of his famil,

A LOOK AT
OUR CITY PARKS

It seems a safe assertion that
the city parks. the larger one in
front of the Sherman and the tri-
ANGLE on West Main are in the
finest condition they have been
since they were first planted.
In the larger park the trees are
growing thriftily, the flowers and
shrubs are pleasant to look at and
the grass is thick and green. Fol
lowing up the good work of Ole
Erickson. former aid. Bill Johnson
who took over the work of care
taker of the parks this season, has
done expert work. It has been
the toughest season imaginable
for keeping parks and gardens in
thrifty condition, on account of
the extreme heat. but Gardener
Johnson has gotten away with the
job nicely.
1t is also true that there are
more fine lawns in town than us
ual and some very good gardens,
both flower and vegetable. This
is perhaps due to the fact that
property owners realized that the
drouth and heat demanded extra
good care of yards and gardens
and they went at the job deter
mined to win out over the ele-
ments. Good water service and
an inexaustible water supply was
another factor.

dens if that of Dwight Lohn on

next south of the high school.

HOME DRY CLEANING
TAUGHT H. D. LEADERS

The first meetings on the Care
and Repair of Clothing were held
in the form of local leaders train
ing schools in Culbertson at Miss
Harris home on August Z and in
Wolf Point at the home of Mrs.
G. M. Donehoo on August s. Nine
leaders attended each school, rep
resenting organized home. demon
stration clubs in Roosevelt coun-
ty. The women were taught sever
al methods of dry cleaning at
home and the cleaning of gar
ments was actually carried out by
each woman present. On Friday,
10 garments of silk or wool, 8 hats
and a pair of gloves clean
ed. On Saturday, II garments, 2
hats and 2 pairs of gloves were
cleaned. Several of these gar
ments included coats and the wo-
men were taught to remove fur
and clean it.
At the close of the dry cleaning
work on each day, Mrs. Hazel
Porter, extension clothing special
list, spent considerable time in
demonstrating the removal of
stains. Preparations we're made
for carrying out the same type of
meeting by local leaders at each
home demonstration club. Meet
ings for clubs are planned during
the month of August or the first
part of September so that good
weather will be had and the wo-
men will be enabled to clean out
of doors. This is imperative. All
of the precautions of safe clean
ing were emphasized as it is the
wish of the extension service to
avoid mishaps in dry cleaning. If
instructions given are strictly fol
lowed, no accidents will occur. 1t
is only through careless methods
that accidents occur in home dry
cleaning.
Pamphlets on dry cleaning and
stain removal are available at the
Home Demonstration Agents of

be mailed upon request.-Miss

COMMISSIONERS URGE
HOLDING GRAIN F0RSEED

Hold every bushel of wheat FOR
local use" is the request OF the
board of county commissioners or
Roosevelt county, who have given
this problem considerable thought
during the past few weeks. Every
bushel of wheat harvested IN
Roosevelt county this year will be
needed at home if a normal crop
is to be produced in 1882. While
the central part of the county will
produce a surplus of wheat fit for
seed, the east and west ends will
produce little or nothing.
The purchase of wheat by n
county to insure having enough
for local distribution next spring
has been considered by the board
but has been deemed inadvisable
and Illegal. The matter OF hold
ing it, therefore, rests with the
producer and with the grain buy
ers to whom some of this grain
will be delivered.
All farmers elevators in the
county have pledged themselves
to hold all grain, if possible and

Regulation by Legislation
1t is recent history that a spec
ial session of Congress was called
for April Is, 1929, to consider
farm relief. Extensive hearings
were held even before Congress
met by the committee on agricul-
ture and forestry, a committee
largely composed of men sincerely
interested in the problems of the
farmers. Various plans were
brought to the attention of the
committee for improving the price
on farm products. The three lead
ing plans dealing with wheat may
be designated as 'The Equaliz-
alton Fee Plan" "The Export De
benture Plan" and "The Allotment
Plan"
During the last session under
