Note Is Mandatory.


- spent a weekend at my mar
ried brothers house. My sister-in-
law had let me ask him SO that my
visit would be more pleasant. She
and my brother certainly put them
selves out to entertain us. I feel
that the least my friend can do is
write her a note, which / happen
to know he hasn't done. Is there a
way l could remind him to write
her, because his thoughtlessness
certainly puts me in bad light?
Answer: can think of nothing
else to do except say to him, 81
hate to ask you to write another
one, but my sister-in-law never got
your letter." Then he will probably
say, "What letter." and you an
swer, "Why, didn't you write and
say anything for that pleasant week
end we had?" And that is that!
Butter Balls Remain
n EAR Mrs. Post: Has the vogue
- for "butter balls gone out?
Several years ago it seemed that
every hostess served fancy designs
of individual butter portions but to-
day never see them anywhere.
Answer: No, l think butter balls
are still seen in many houses al
though it is true that in quite as
many others butter is simply cut
neatly into squares. The reason is
probably that of time saving since
very few of us have as many serv-
ants as we used to. One might, in
fact, say that comparatively few
have any.
Better Late Than Never
n EAR Mrs. Post: Is one sup
- posed to be able to hold over
social obligations from one season
to the next? I should have enter
tanned several new friends last
spring but had no money to give a
party of any kind then. I'm wonder
ing if now, which is the first it has
been possible, would be considered
too late to repay these kindnesses?
Answer: Not at ALL There is no
time limit on any return you want
to make. After all, there are so
many reasons why we may not be
able to do what we want to when
we want to.

CONSTITUTION-REAL AND
 IMAGINARY

Chief Justice Kephart of the Pennsylvania Su- oreme Court in a recent address on the Constitution made this statement:
 Bewildering cries are heard today, they were at the time of it's adoption that the Constitution is in grave peril that it will not survive.
 These emanate from the spectacular few who think only to safeguard supposed rights, rights that never contemplated by the framers. Such asserted rights are not con- prehended nor embraced within the great fun damental principles of the Constitution
 They illusory rights that have been and are still sought to be grafted on the Consti- tuition by interpretive process, which, to speak mildly is without justification.
 There is a great deal to be gleaned from the pointed words of the jurist and it might be sug- gestion who fear the Constitution is in dan ger to write down all the things they imagine the instrument says and then read it to learn just exactly

MONTANA STREAMS
NEED STOCKING

It's about time that the sportsmen
of this district demand that the State
Fish and Game Commission be pro-
hibited from selling trout eggs until
every stream in this vicinity and
throughout the state of Montana is
properly stocked with lingering.
1t is a matter of public record that
a former Fish and Game Commission
during the year 1886 sold to the state
Of New Mexico one million five hun
dred thousand native trout eggs
which we're taken at the spawning
station at Georgetown Lake. The
winter following this transaction, the
commission closed the lake to ice
fishing, thus denying hundreds the
privilege of taking fish through the
ice. It is believed by many that this
act of closing the lake was the direct
cause of the death of thousands of
fish which were found washed up
on the shore line after the Spring
thaw.
Our present Fish and Game Com
mission by its action at a meeting in
Helena, Montana, October 18th, 1887,
seems to follow in the same foot
steps.
Following is an extract taken from
the minutes of the meeting of the
Fish and Game Commission of the
above mentioned date.
"Mr. Scoffield received a request
from the state of Wyoming for two
hundred fifty thousand eyed loch
leven eggs for the stocking of the
Clarks Fork river in Wyoming and
Montana. Motion, Mr.. Lay, I move
that Mr.. Scoffield be allowed to eye
two hundred fifty thousands eggs to
be given to Wyoming for the pur-
pose of raising and planting in the
Clarks-F'ork river in Wyoming and
Montana. Seconded by Mr.. Gutten-
sohn. Carried.
"Mr. Scoffield asked if it would
be agreeable with the commission to
sell any surplus eggs that the de-
partment may have to the state of
Idaho. They agreed it would be per-
missable."
1t appears now that the Fish and
Game Commission is practicing con-
servation in limiting the season and
the bag limit with one hand, while
selling eggs and allowing fish to go
through irrigation bitches with the
other.
In the early part of this year, Mr..
Scoffield, superintendent of the State
Fisheries, appeared before a meeting
of sportsmen in the courthouse here.
Mr.. J.. A. Weaver, the State Game
Warden, and Mr.. Jack Carney, his
assistant, attended this meeting also.
Mr.. Scoffield stated emphatically to
the sportsmen present that no eggs
would be sold by the State Fish and
Game Commission during his term
in office, that when sufficient eggs
were taken to supply the require
ments of the state, the traps would
be pulled, allowing the fish to spawn

THU UNION LABEL

You're a union man, l take it,
For you pay your union dues,
But, my friend, is there a label
Of a union in your shoes?
Do you see the union label
On tobacco that you buy?
Or upon your daily paper?
You can get mi if you try.
Is a label in the pocket
Of the suit upon your back?
A label on your collar
Or a Chinese spider track?
Do you find the uunion label
In the sweatband of your hat?
Look and see, if you think you car
find it
Did you ever think of that?

in their natural way. He further
stated to the sportsmen present that
they would receive fish, not figures.
The Federal government has spent
thousands of dollars within the past
few years for the purpose of i'm
proving the Maiden Rock Hatchery
on the Big Hole river. The Butte
Anglers Club now boasts that the
hatchery can handle one million five
hundred thousand eggs, however,
the club was unable to secure more
than three hundred and fifty thou
sand eggs during the Spring of 1887.
Would it not prove more beneficial
to the sportsmen of Montana if the
Fish and Game Commission would
send any surplus eggs they may
have to the Maiden Rock Hatchery,
than it would be to sell them to
another state? 1t is inconsistent to
say that there is any surplus of eggs
while thousands are lying idle IN any
hatchery in the state, and while the
streams of this district are badly in
need of replenishing.
If the sportsmen of this district
who purchase hunting and fishing
licenses believe in having the
streams stocked with young fish, it
behooves each and every one of them
to put their shoulder to the wheel
the same as they are doing in other
districts. Why should they sit idly
by while the Federal government is
plating two hundred and fifty thou
sand trout lingering in the White
fish district.
