for their wheat crop insurance

DR.. Peterson Makes
Statement On Cuncer

DR.. R. F. Peterson of Butte,
chairman of the cancer COM
mittee of the Montana Medical
society, issued a statement Fri
day on what is needed most in
Montana if we are to handle the
cancer problem efficiently"
Speaking for the committee
as well as for himself, DR.. Pet
erson said, Because of our
sparce population and our great
distances, the Montana division
CT the Women's Field Army has
a more difficult job than the
organization faces in most 9TH
er "A states participating in the
crusade against cancer.
However, in 1887 and 1888,
Montana did better than many
of the states in getting the very
important message that early
cancer is durable to great num-
bers of people. The message OF
the Women's Field Army is rel
atively simple. The difficulty lies
in getting it to the people.
IF public spirited and health
minded men and women enlist
in the Field Army and urge 9TH
ers to do so, the funds thus de-
rived will make it possible to
reach many more Montana
people during the year ahead
with reliable information con-
corning cancer. Each person en-
listing between now and April
80 received in addition to Dan
ger Signals and other phmph-
let's, a copy of the Cancer AL
manac of 1882 This is an at
tractive, 100-page book covering
all aspects of the cancer prob
lem. Enlistments will be re-
ceived by local captains or may
be sent direct to the head
quarters of the Montana Divis-
ion OF the Woman's Field Army
at Billings"
Mrs. George Kalberg is Bic
Horn county captain, and viii,
be in charge of receiving funds
in this community.

The staging of these plays

is probably the most elaborate
stage equipment ever to be used
on an amateur stage in Har-
din-aside from perhaps that OF
the public schools.
All equipment was purchased
through local dealers. Many
hundreds of board feet of lunl-
Der, 2l0 yards of curtain ma
terial, $50 feet of light cord, 9
score pounds of nails and screws
and small hardware are among
the most bulky items. The stage
will be lighted by several spot
lights borrowed from the Con-
gregational church as we'll as
floodlightS equipped with 12Ot
watt globes. No white light
will be used since mediums OF
red, amber, and blue celophane
will be furnished.
One feature of the lighting
is a home made salt water dim
mer which will take care OF
special effects. The 12-sWitct
switchboard can provide 28e
combinations of lights.

wheat acreage allotment for his
farm for 1889.
2. That he does not overplant
his wheat acreage allotment for
1899.
8. That he planted wheat fol-
harvest in 1888 or 1899.

cations will be made on a farm
