Sherman came abruptly to life.
"I'l get you there" he volunteered.
Taking her arm, which she did
not resist, he forged way through
the mob of townspeople, who were
too intent on the celebration to re-
sent.
Crossing the street was another
matter. But Sherman seized upon
a favorable opening, pushed through
with his charge, and started val
iantly across directly in front of an
approaching contingent.

And the officer, returning Sher-

AT the station, with scarcely a
minute to spare, Sherman felt that

Vainly he strove to find some

OUT OF THE PAST

Z Jean La Bruyere, a French writer
of the 18th century, famous for his
shrewd observations is at his best
in the following quotations: "In the
world there are only two ways of
raising oneself, either by ones own
industry or by the weakness of
others" "Most men employ the first
part of their lives to make the other
part miserable"

THE PASSPORT

You may be in haste
Some work to attend,
And not have the time
To chat with a friend;
But you can give this,
And get by in style;
The wave of a hand
And a friendly smile.
~
Your mind may be full
And crowded with care,
The world gone to pot
And griefs everywhere
Just try this for once
When the going is thin;
A CHEEKY "Hello!"
And a four-square grin.
A second it takes,
But helps all around,
For even a crouch
Is forced to give ground.
Take this for a tip,
You'll win by a mile;
A wave of the hand
And a friendly smile.

DOWNFALL or TURKEY

Twas the night after New Year
The season had sped.
/ smiled with contentment
And lay in my bed;
When out on the lawn
There arose such a racket,
/ busted seam
Getting into my jacket.
Away to the window
/ flew like a fool,
And splintered my shin
On the piano stool.

And gave loud groan.
Six doggies were eating
The last turkey bone.
/ went to the kitchen
And cried with a cheer,
"Here, take the soup, too
And a Happy New Year..

WV STIDMAN

In Roman mythology, Janus was a
god who presided over the beginnings
of things, and so January, the first
month of the year was derived from
the old Roman calendar. He was pre-
scented on Roman gold coins as two
headed god, looking in opposite !direc-
tons. Janus was an Italian deity in
the ancient regime before the eleva-
ton of Jupiter to the position of chief
god. All persons born in January ac-
quired Janus as their patron god, who
represented the first steps in human
progress and understandings.

Only two of the besieged band had es-
capped without wounds.
After this experience the Sioux
swore unceasing vengeance against
Musselshen City, and the future was
to bring danger and death to those
who had the temerity to remain there.
Captain Andrews, seeing way to
profit from the experience, removed
the heads from 10 Of the dead Indians
He boiled the skulls clean, posted them
to dry and then sent them east on a
display tour to rake in the shekels
from the morbidly curious back IN the
safely civilized regions of the east.
When the passengers and the crew
of the Huntsville saw the skulls, with
Liver Eatin' johnson in his unusual
garb in their midst, they were being
dried before going on their tour Of
the east.
Apparently, however, the Sioux
meantime had partly avenged their
defeat. The Huntsville reported that at
a woodward down the Missouri they
had found seven woodchoppers who
had been killed by the Indians.

of reaching a solution to the prob
lem. UNFORTUNATELY we, as all
towns, are afflicted with a certain
number Of toughS or rowdies or bum

to call them" says the letter. There
are probably no more than dozen Of

Game I'm Glacier Park
Found Good Condition

An intensive investigation OF the
conditions Of the wild1ife In Glacier
national park along the Great North
ern railway was made by park rangers
following q rumor that such game was
In poor condition.
ID. s. Libbey, superintendent of Gla-
cier national park, stated that 1t was
deemed advisable few years ago to
discontinue the feeding OF big game
animals because of the heavy concen-
tratiOn on feeding grounds, which con-
centration tended TO weaken the ami
mails and make them susceptible to dis
ease. He further stated that the game
animals In Glacier national park are
apparently In very good condition and
no great loss Is anticipated due TO lack
Of forage or disease.
An unusual sight observed recently
10 the CONSERVATION of the park em-
pIoyes was 9 large black bear which
made his appearance at park head
quarters In spite Of the "A inches Of
snow on the ground. Apparently g few
warm days had made this bear feel
that spring was here.

the use Of hyhrid corn Is increasing
IN other parts OF the country, but the
development Of hybrids suitable for
use In Montana win be q glow process,
Mercer said. In tests carried on thus
far In various parts Of the state, the
hybrids have not performed Outstand-
tngly better than recommended CROSS
poilinated varieties. he said.
Mercer explains that hybrid corn Is
a first generation hybrid between two
strains Of inbred corn and the yield
ing ability Of the hybrid depends on
the proper combination OF carefully
inbred parent lines. A thorough knowl
edge OF plant breeding is required TO
produce good hybrid seed Hybrid corn
Is used only for commercial produc-
ton and cannot be used for seed with
out substantial loss in yield IN the
succeeding generation.
County extension agents in Mon
tana have conducted a number of
variety tests with hybrid corn and
these indicate that most hybrtds re-
uuire a longer growing season than the
average frost-free period in Montana,
Mercer said It Is also apparent that
any production Of hybrid corn In Mon
tarla will be confined very largely to
irrigated land, he said.
At present growers who wish to try
out hybrid seed must depend on seed
produced from parent lines developed
In other states, Mercer explained, and
added the warning that there is both
good and bad hybrid corn seed on the
market
