GRIFFITH WOULD.

BY KIRK MILLER

Grizzled Clark Griffith was in
a wishin' mood today.
He was on the magic carpet for
fair, wishin' among other things
that he had one or two more
pitchers-or even Just one on
whom he could count to win a
game at least every fourth day.
Too, he was wishin' somebody
would come along and buy the
franchise Of the st. Louis Browns,
Of the American League, in case
your memory needs joggin'.
I'VE amt made a dime in st.
Looie for years." said Griff, be

other visitin' ball club. Fact Is,
that If it wasn't for the rent the
Cardinals pay the estate which
is operatin' them Browns, the
sheriff would have probably fore.
closed on them years ago."

How to Train
StrQGGly Heirs

Each day brush those harsh strag.
ely hairs upward by letting your
head hang down and brush toward
the crown of your head. If you are
not going to business, knot it high
in a roll, pin up the ends, and tie a
bandanna around it. That holds il
in place.
Each night before going to bed
apply a scalp pomade or a good
hair tonic along the hairline. Gently
massage it. The rich lubricant will
not only feed the starving tissue
but the rubbing will stimulate
growth.
Don't have your hair cut again
just let it grow. Later on you may
have it shaped, once you determine
which high style you will wear.
Or you may just twist your long hair
into becoming puffs on top of your
head. Many girls are letting their
hair grow long.
AS your hairline grows, attempt to
keep it curled for gala nights with
very small curriers', the iron, or by
twisting it on hairpins. We will all
nave to go through the growing
pains unless we have been wise
enough to keep our hairline un-
clipped. During the Misunderstanding
stage you might pin false curls over
the ragged ends.

settled for the next year!" For in
stance, two things will concern the
woman who decides to make this
change in her hair style-How to
keep the back hair-line trim and
appealing, and how to make her
hair stay up just after she has
trained it into long page-boy bob!
Take an honest look at that back
hairline of yours after you have
combed and brushed your hair high
on your head. Not very beautiful,
is it? What can you expect if you
have allowed hair dressers or bar
bers to hack away at it for years?
But you've got to groom it into a
smooth even line and train the hair
to grow softly and naturally upward.
For a time you may use a tiny bar
rette or small hairpin to keep it up,
but by late fall it should stay of its
own accord.

Meals Like Books

A meal should be constructed
somewhat like a book-that is,
with a foreword or introduction to
begin with, then the story, the
really important part, and lastly
the epilogue or conclusion to bring
it to a happy end. Translated into
the language of gastronomy, this
means that we should begin our
meals with hors d'oeuvres or
soup, by way of preface; then
pass on to the meal proper, the
most important part-short or
long, as the case may be, but the
part of the meal from which we
are to derive the nourishment
which we need; lastly, we finish
with cheese or dessert, intended
to help us inwardly digest the sto-
ry. - Andre Simon in Atlantic
Monthly.

HINT-OF-TH
Cologne Is Feminine Necessity

Cologne is an extremely refresh
ing body rub and is also luxurious
body deodorant. You will find that
an after-bath rundown of cologne
before going to bed will leave love
ly fragrance clinging to your sheets
in the morning. This makes for the
kind of daintiness that lovely wom-
en- seek-a faint fragrance that
seems to be a part of their per-
sonality, exuding from them as they
move and breathe.
A good brand of cologne, one with
a distinctive personality, in its fra
GRANGE, should be used. 1t should
hint at lightheartedness, glitter and
gaiety.
Cologne, by the way, makes a
splendid gift. and for this purpose
several brands are available in
unique bottles as an adornment to
the dressing table.

Work Storts On
Libby's Skating Rink

Harold Lutes announced Tues.
day that work would begin on the
community skating rink today. A
crew of approximately seven WPA
workers will build and flood the
rink which will be located in the
east end of the baseball park.
At the time of interview Mr..
Lutes did not know the exact di-
mansions of the rink but said, 1T
will be plenty large to care for all
who care to take advantage of the
opportunity to use il"
The idea is sponsored by the Lib
by Recreational Council. No ad-
charge will be made in the
afternoons but the nominal sum of
ten cents will be charged in the
evening. This charge is made to
offset the expense of the electric
lights which will light the pond at
night. Any surplus at the end of
the season will go to the council to
purchase equipment for other rec
reational activities such as soft
ball.

Millions Of
Trees Cut For
Christmas Ho!idoys

Since the Christmas tree indus
try has grown to considerable pro-
portions in this part of Montana,
the following article will be Of in
terest to Lincoln county people:
With the coming of the holiday
season, the Christmas tree looms as
an important part of the festivities.
From the Pacific Northwest,
through Minnesota, Wisconsin, and
Michigan, and as far east as Maine,
modern lumberiacks are bucking
snow and fast-freezing swamps to
cut Christmas trees that will be dec
GRATED with cleaning glass orna-
ments and colored lights. In prac-
tically every American home, even
the most humble, decorating the ev-
ergreen Christmas tree has beconfe
custom.
Forest Service officials estimate
that over 10000, 900 balsarns. spruce.
fir, and pine trees were cut last
year and sold for several miIlio,.
dollars and of these the national
forests supplied about 100000, the
balance coming from farm wood
lands and state lands. While this
seems to be an enormous quantity
of small trees to be cut each year.
foresters at the U. S. Forest Prod
ucts Laboratory, Madison, Wis, rec
ognize the Yuletide season as q boon
to the economical practice Of for
estry, provided, of course the trees
are cut without excessive waste and
in such manner as to keep the
land continuously producing more
trees. Properly done, Christmas
tree harvesting is sustained timber
yield on small scale.
The cutting of Christmas trees on
many forest areas thins out the
small trees which otherwise would
be wasted and allows the remain
ing trees to develop into sawtimber
size. In other instances the use of
submariginal land for the growing
of Christmas tree crops yields a
profitable income as side line for
many farmers.
While the largest national forest
output of Christmas trees is in the
West, the largest demand is in tile
East. In recent years a large num-
Der Of small longleaf pine trees from
the South have been put upon the
market. Cutting in national for
ests and in private woodlands is
done to thin and clear stands.

Counties Are Granted
$57 500 General Aid

Thirteen Montana counties were
granted general relief allotments to-
falling $500 by the state public
welfare board last week when il
was shown the counties are finan-
cially unable to bear their direct
relief loads alone.
The counties and grants-Cas-
cade, $4,000; Deer Lodge, $4,000;
Chouteau, $500, Flathead, $500:
Jefferson, $1,000; Lincoln, sl,50O;
McCone, $500; Missoula, $4,000. Ra-
valli, $1,000; Richland, Sl,5O0; Sher-
idan, $500; Silver Bow, $4,000, and
Valley, $4,000
Administrator I. NJ. Brandjord an
nounced that the board had trans
ferred money from other welfare
accounts to the old-age
pension fund to make up an ex-
pected $4,000 deficit in the pen
sion fund. He pointed out that the
last legislature allocated $8O0,0 600
yearly as the states share of old
age pensions, but that amount is ap-
proxinately $4,000 short of the
needed.
The welfare board has been ad
vised that the federal surplus COM
corporation will give Mon
tana enough cotton and ticking for
5000 full-sized mattresses to be
made up by WPA workers through
out the state.

Shoots Tail Off Deer.

Here is the prize story of the
hunting season, coming from Sand
point, Ida, in which a hunter shot
the tail off deer. A Standpoint
paper says:
Friends of Ross Hall today are
offering reward for tailless
deer. Mr.. Hall has the tail-the
deer is still at large.
Mr.. Hall came upon Whitehall
deer at relatively close range. Mr..
Hall turned his rifle loose and let
it roar. One, two, three, four, five
times the rifle spoke its piece and
the hunter thought he had the deer
when he saw something drop. Rush
ing forward to examine his kill, all
ne could find was the deers tail,
shot clean off close to the root.
To-day Mr. Halls friends were
offering a reward of undetermined
size for tailless deer which will
measure up to the standards Of the
tail MIR. Hall has in his possession. /"

Mr.. Neils was in the East on a
business mission and while in Wash
ington he called at the bureau of
public roads for information in re-
gard to plans for improvement Of
Highway No. 2 west from Troy. He
said he spent nearly half day with
the bureau officials going over the
highway situation but could get NO
definite commitment from them as
to future plans. He was told that
the bureau itself seldom originated
plans, leaving to state highway COM
missions, the forest serviee, and the
bureaus district engineers to work
out highway Improvement plans N
the field ;
Mr.. Neils did learn, however, that
a new procedure has been adopted
in releasing money for the forth
coming years work. The money
for the 1939-40 program will be
available January |, 1899, instead Of
July | as heretofore That should
make possible the starting of work
several months earlier than has
been the practice In former years.
Mr. Neils was also told that the
B. p. r., the forest service and the
state highway commissions would
hold meetings early In December
to discuss highway plans for 1899.
