clothes lines, and mother with
clothes-pins in her mouth, and
the copper boiler steaming on
back of the stove. :.
And it was her wedding day
the day she was going to
marry Ken.
Lily Lou, wide awake in a
second, turned over and buried
her face in the pillow. She
could hear May and Raymond
moving around, getting ready
for work. They mustn't know
she was awake. E.
Lilly Lou! We're going

Mays voice. The slam Of the
front door. The sound of their
hurrying feet, and the rumble
of the engine, as the car
started, reluctantly, in the
garage just under Lily Louis
room.
The Wedding Day
When they were gone she
sprang out Of bed. and ran to
the mirror. Suppose that lit
tie rough place on her chin
turned out to be a pimple! But
it wasn't-it was perfectly all
right. Lily Lou sighed with re-
lief. She stood with her bare
feet, chilly on the varnished
floor, and earnestly studied her
face in the hand glass. Thank
goodness. 1t would have been
terrible to look a fright on this
day, of all days..
From the top dresser drawer
she took out the little pink
glass boxes of bath crystals and
dusting powder she had bought
in an extravagant moment.
They had been intended for
Mays birthday next monCn
:. but there would be lots OF
time to get May something
else.
No Hope Chest
She dumped generous hand
full of crystals into the slowly
filling tub. 1t smelled very
nice. not just what she ex-

Would that be enough to

a Great
Form
and Manners
BY Mrs. Beeckman

Dy MIS- DSCChNAldH
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. When a man and his wife
separate should they continue
wearing their wedding rings?
2. Should these be worn after
divorce?
3. What about wearing the
engagement ring after divorce
and also after a second mar
riage?
The answers to your first
and second questions can be
determined only by the people
concerned, and their reactions
to this. Some people find these
symbols Of a former happiness
very difficult to wear. because
of their association. Some, on
the other hand, find q certain
spiritual comfort in wearing
them.
But neither ring should be
worn after a second marriage
has been determined on.
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is 1t correct to use the word
Aren't" in a sentence in this
manner, I'm a golf profes-
sional, aren't II"
No, this isn't correct, even if
our English cousins do use it.
You see, If you test it, that this
use is incorrect, for we can't
say, II aren't" The correct
way to say this is, 'I'm a golf
professional am I not?"

FILES CHARGE OF
ARSON At BELFRy
Water Commissioners Are
Appointed in Session
Of District Court

Harvey E. Freebury of Laurel
was charged with arson in an in
formation filed by County Attor-
ney E. P. Conwell in the district
court at Red Lodge Tuesday, and
a second information by the coun-
ty attorney accused Robert Myers
of horse stealing.
Freebury appeared with Attor-
ney H. G.. Crippen of Billings, to
enter a plea of not guilty, and was
released on approval by the court
of his bond of $1,000. 1t is charged
that Freebury deliberately caused
a residence building in Belfry to
be burned, June 3. The house at
the time of the fire was occupied
by George c. Moran, against
whom charges may be filed later.
Myers was arrested last July in
Wyoming by Sheriff John Albert,
to answer for the theft of a bay
gelding horse from Lou Tunni-
cliff of Roberts. Myers was form

GROWERS intend
TO HOLD WHEAT
Association Is Formed In
County in Line With
Other States

Wheat growers in this county
will join the movement of grow
ers in the Northwest in withhold
ing the 1882 crop from the market
in an effort to force better prices
this fall, according to resolution
of the Wheat Producers associa-
ton organized at Roberts, August
7, in affiliation with wheat pro-
ducers in other states.
Approximately 100 farmers from
the area about Roberts met to or
ganize the association and sign the
agreement, which follows, in part:
Because the present market
price Of wheat is so low
that the American farmer cannot
meet production costs from its
sale, and will be forced either to
regulate the production to home
consumption or to control the
wheat, and as all forms of federal
aid and agencies have failed in
maintaining a beneficial price,

wheat producers, hereby agree to

Fromberg won, 3 to 2, in the

for three bases, later coming in
on a single by R. Collins.

BOARD FIXES TAX
LEWES FOR,YEAR
Many School Districts To
Operate on Fewer Mills
During Next Year

Meeting in special session Mon
day, the board of county commits
sioners made final adjustments of
the tax schedule for the year 1882,
and adopted levies.
Levies announced by the board
r not lower than those of last
year, but the amount of tax mon
ey to be collected is appreciably
less, as the levies this year are inn
posed on assessed valuations con-
siderably lower than those of 1881.
The state levies this year are
the same as last, with 5.33 mills
being imposed for the state gen.
eral fund, the educational bond in
terest and sinking fund and the
Greater University fund. The to-
tai county levy, including the gem
eral school fund and the high
school fund, is "A mills, as COM
pared to a 42.5-mill levy last year,
but it is to be remembered that
the apparent increase is actually
a decrease in regard to the amount
of tax money to be collected.
The state livestock levy remains
at 3.5 mills, and the county unit
levy is unchanged at A mills.
The total levies remain constant
for the cities of Red Lodge, Bear
creek, Joliet, Fromberg and Bridg-
err.
Many school districts show re-
duced levies this year and several
have none. Twenty-Five districts
have lower %levies, and 10 districts
have levies higher by a few mills
than last year. The tax figures
for seven districts are unchanged

ON FOWL
BY COMMISSIONERS

Changes in the state game laws
governing the shooting of wild
fowl were announced after the
July meeting of the fish and game
commission at Helena, to make
state laws on waterfowl conform
to federal laws, and to allow
sportsmen in all sections of the
state to enjoy some upland bird
shooting this season.
Thus the open season on migra-
tory waterfowl will be October 1
to November 30, inclusive, the bag
limit to be Is ducks and four
geese per day, and the possession
limit to be double the daily bag
limit.
Throughout the entire state an
open season, September 1919 and
20, is declared on sage hens or
sage grouse, blue grouse, fool hens
and ruffed grouse. These fowls
may be shot everywhere except
within state game preserves, the

be five birds in all. The entire
state is closed to the shooting Of
