LITTLE BENNY
By LEE PAPk.

After supper pop was taking of his
shoes and putting on his slippers to
make his feet feel better and ma said,
Don't act serprised, Willyur, If wagon
drives up to the house and delivers a
big brass old fashion Russian arrange
ment to make tea in, bleeve they're
called Samovars.
I wont show any more outwerd sine
of emotion than the Stink, pop said.
But in retern I must request you to
remain calm and imperterbable if an
aireoplane descends on the roof and
unloads an ancient Terkish contrivance
for cerling the hair of wives at a
time, bleeve they're called Pilaffs.
Now, Willyum, I'm serious, ma said.
I stopped in at the auction rooms to-
day more out of feminine curiosity
than from any ulterior motive, and
just as it happened an enormous hand
beaten samovar from a noble Russian
palace was being auctioned of and I
was Just in the nick of time to get 1t
for the redickuliss sum Of thirteen
dollers, and even then I don't know il
I would of bid for it ony there was a
woman trying to get 1t and took q
spontaneous dislike to her face, so
had a bubble pleasure when the auc-
tioneer announced in flowing terms
that the samovar was mine, ma said
Why Willyum, what are you putting
your shoes on again for, where are you
going? she said.
I'm going out to search high and low
for a Chinese silver ash sitter from the
Buck and Wing dynasty, but fear not,
l wont buy 1t unless I can wrest 1t
from the greedy grasp Of a spindle
shanked individual with a mole behind
his rite ear to whom I take an in
stinctive aversion. pop said and ma
said, Now. Willyum. you cant pull the
wool over my ears. you're going around
to the bowling alleys and get all over
heeted and possibly catch another cold
that will make my life even more miz-
zerble than yours. and pop said, it's
an ideer, anyways.

Value of Household Athletics

an athletic stunt than it used to be.
II the electric washer Is part OF the
household equipment. But, even 50,
there Is some action requiring muscular
movement. Ironing calls for arm mo-
ton and the continual lifting and push
ing back and forth OF the iron calls
into play the muscles Of the back as
we'll as arms.
It would be possible to go through
the whole category Of household tasks,
viewing them in the light Of their
gymnastic values. But it Is not so
important to enumerate them as to
suggest how to get the best athletic
advantages from them. For instance,
when STOPPING bend from the waist as
often as it is possible. keeping the
knees straight. When crouching low.
squat, for this bends the knees and
keeps them supple. When stretching
beware of overstraining muscles. Use
stool or stepladder for things that
might cause strain. Bend sideways
sometimes. instead Of moving the body
as for forward stoop.
Keep the head up and the back as
straight as possible, for this helps
poise. Make the most athletic use of
the simple and regular household
tasks and be ready to stop for the
rest which would be demanded Of one
doing regulation gymnastics when
fatigue is felt. To overdo is to lose
the value Of the gymnastics or the
household athletics.

soil and let nature take her
perience of millions OF farmers who
have lived before him, that the soil
must be prepared and enriched, that 1t
must be constantly cultivated to keep
the weeds down, and that he must wage
a continuous fight with insect pests and
hungry birds If he is to have any grain
to take to market.
If all people realized the necessity
Of preparation, there would be fewer
failures.
There is an old story Of young man
was asked If he had ever filled such
job before.
Cant say as have" he replied.
Then what makes you think you
could handle it?" he was asked.
We'll, I know a feller in the same
kind Of a Job that amt any smarter
than I am, and if he can manage 1t,
I reckon I can"
It developed, on inquiry. that the
other feller" he spoke Of had spent
five years fitting himself for his place,
and had risen to be the boss Of big
establishment.
If you had time to investigate the
manifold failures which may come un-
der your notice from time to time you
would probably discover that most OF
them were due to lack of preparation.
Preparation alone supplies that
running start" that gives a beginner
confidence in his ability to discharge
his new duties Education is nothing
more than preparation, if it is directed
with a definite purpose of acquainting
man with the duties of the place he
hopes to fill.
The graduate Of trade school or
technical school begins with a running
start when he gets his first job. And
that start gives him big advantage
over those who must spent a long
period unfearning all the things they
had either half learned or had not
learned at all before they went to
work.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

I lie unsleeping on my bed
And offer bounties for your head.
I wonder that you don't rejoice
In your more bland and soothing voice
Instead of wrinkling up your nose
And snarling at your furry foes.
No wonder when, beneath the moon,
You outcroon cry radio Groom
Until the crack Of dawn arrives
You jeopardise your whole nine lives.

FEW FAILURES

When the principals of the schools
were asked recently what were some
of the outstanding features in their
school systems to which they pointed
with pride, Prof. May of Medicine
Lake requested Miss Murphy to
speak for the Medicine Lake school.
Miss Murphy enthusiastically replied
Il am certainly proud of the pupils
who have gone from here as we have
had so few failures. The majority
of our pupils are very successful in
amy profession which they have en-
tered-even that of matrimOny." r"
Then she told how the girls basket
ball team had won the championship
in 1923 and had lost but one game in
1926; also how their school had en-
tered the district debating contest
an won first honor last year, Ben
Lundquist receiving highest indi-
vidual honors and how 'their high
school orchestra was being organi-
zed this year. Miss Murphy will be
remembered as the popular county
superintendent of Sheridan county
when the county was new. She has
been teaching in Medicine Lake high
school since she left office, which she
did of her own accord.

There are nine high schools in

Prof. J. w. Johnston of Conner
town writes enthusiastically of the
schools of his district. He says:
This is the finest little school l
was ever in. / like Comertown peO-
pie and the students fine indeed"
So well pleased are the people of
Comertown district with their own
little school that the idea of a county
high school is far from popular with
some of them. Prof. Johnston says:
The people of this town want a
home high school. They have to pay
their own bills and figure they can
get through with less expense and
secure better results at home than
by sending their children away from
parental care and guidance. Conner
town is for a local high school"

a county high school, just here, the
writer wishes to explain that the es-
tablishment of a county high school
does not eliminate the district high

be the establishment of county

Plans for Giant Missouri River
Dam Now Under Consideration

saved at this time is all intended
to be taken out of the men doing
the work, by paying starvation
wages.
The object of this project is not
for irrigating purposes, although
some of the water might be used
for irrigation as well as for pro-
ducing power. The main purpose
is to regulate the flood of water in
the river, prevent floods at times,
by storing the water and in dry
spells turn part of the water loose
thereby, regulating to some extent
an even flood of water going thru
the river at all tiraes.
When this regulation has been
completed a channel 8 feet deep
and 200 feet wide from the mouth
Of the Missouri up the river as
far as Sioux City, IowO, would be
at all times open for navigation.
The project from Kansas City,
to the mouth is about completed
and the project from Kansaas City
to Sioux City is under way.
We would hate to imagine what
would happen if someday this 231
feet high dam would give away.
That is just what happened out in
California a few years ago.

The official plans for the pro-
posed Fort Peck dam was received
by the Glasgow Chamber of Com
merce about a week ago. The u.
S. Army engineers have been
working on the plan for several
years. If the project is to be put
thru at this time or probably not
at all nobody seems to know. It
is said the work could be started
within 30 days if decided on.
The idea is to build a gigantic
dam across the Missouri river 20
miles southeast of Glasgow. The
dam is to be built of concrete and
dirt and is supposed to be 231 feet
high. This will form a reservoir,
or lake. behind the dam which
when full will be IT'S miles long
banked on both sides by the foot
hills. This lake is estimated to
cover 100000 acres and will hold
100000 acre feet of water.
In 1929 the cost of this project
was estimated at "a million dol

MONT. WILL GET
2l3,5l6 IN RELIEF
(BY HANS RASMUSSEN

(B4 HANS RASMUSSEN)
Relief money to the extent of
$21 ,659,282 for distribution to 81
states was granted by the federal
emergency relief administration on
May 80.
Out of this amount the state of
Montana will receive $213,516,
which is the allotment granted to
the state for the month of June.
The state of New York will get
the biggest share, $6,532,282. Our
neighboring state, North Dakota,
is mot mentioned at all.
Each dollar of the federal money
granted is based on the showing
by each state that three times as
much was spent in the state from
public funds during the quarter
ending March 81.
That most people who have re-
ceived relief in the past is no bet
ter off right now than they were
months ago, is a well known fact,
many are worse off. Even if the
relief has kept them from actually
starving it has never been large
ehuf so that they were able tC
renew their clothes and other ne
cessities, they have been getting
more undernourished and more
ragged right along.
Keeping our people in rags anC
Z half starved has been the aim o.
our Central committee right along
Had we had a committee who
) really had our peoples interest a
: heart, more money could have beer
applied for and gotten right alonl
and our people would have beel
I that much better off.

more you spent in the past tn
