sideration for the comfort of those
attending. An enormous American flag
made the whole back ground for the
pulpit, the flag being no less than Ok
is feet. A portable organ which was
PLAYED by Mrs H. J. Fowler accom-
paning Mr.. Shales on the slide from
bone, while many songs were sung by
the whole gathering. gave most TN
ishing touch to the very successful and
enthusiastic meeting. Meeting closed
with singing of America.
The next meeting will be on April
22nd at Happy's Inn, that date being
the tenth anniversary of the log rais-
ing of the main building, which ac-
counts for selecting that particular date
and place.
Cheese making will be the lesson
TO be given by Miss Grace FInucane,
Flathead county extension agent
There is a probability that Flathead
county will dispense with the services
of a county agent and extension agent
after July, in order to modify county
expenses. However this does not mean
that our Club work in this East end
of Lincoln county must dispense with
their efforts. The Fisher River Home
Demonstration Club was organized
over four years ago by Mrs. Herbst of
Libby and under direction of the Lin
coin county agent, MIR WlnsioN, s.-l
a few months later the men formed a
club called the Thompson Fisher Rivers
Club. These clubs meet same date and
place in all day sessions. After Lin
coin county discontinued the services
of a county agent the clubs have been
receiving their instructions through
the F'lathead county agent and extern
sion agent, having quite number OF
members who reside i'll that county
along the Thompson River. Mrs. Ruth
Lang, president of the demonstration
club called the Thompson-Fis Rivers
who with the aid of pamphlets and
instruction books from Bozeman ex-
tension department, can put over the
necessary work and continue along same
lines. All present members at Fri
days meeting very much approved Of
the idea. III fact, it would hardly d.
now after having accomplished 50
much, and after having reached out 50
far, 10 discontinue. The members take
in a great scope Of country from the
Main Fisher River east to the Flat
head line, down the Thompson to
Sanders county and over In Pleasant
Valley where five different families be-
long. OF course, there are seasons of
the year when the ones from 50 far
away cannot attend but nevertheless
during good roads season they are sell
dom absent Just as an example will
show just one of the many benefits
having been derived from these dem
constructions. That is the making of
dress forms. The writer has friend in
Michigan who is taking paid $4,000
sewing course. She has sent samples Of
her work showing it is along same
lines as members of this club have re-
ceived, but her teacher does not in
struct them how to make dress forms
but will make one to order for $500.
This friend wrote the writer for pos
sibly pamphlet or instructions think
ing she might be able to interest
enough friends to try and make their
own same as we did for the small cost
of material of $l25.
This dress form is being much more
used now by the home dressmaker
with the later styles of fitted effects
and more will be made for members at
future meeting We could cite
dozens Of such examples and it only
goes to prove that we who live out
here in the back woods could give
many Of our city sisters, (same as this
Michigan lady from larger city, q
few pointers. So why stop progressiong
