Color in the Home
An Antidote for
Ragged Nerves
Repointing Of Dull Walls
Is Held Out as Good WAY
To Offset War Jitters'

In these war -saddened days it's of
tremendous Importance for every
man Jack OF us to work consciously
to counteract the effect of disquiet-
ing news with every tangible tool at
our commandments only for the sake
OF our own well-being. but fol that
OF our families as we'll. As one of
the most effective tools, we give you
color, cheering. encouraging color
as an antidote for apprehension.
Psychologists champion the use of
harmonious color in our surround
1ngs to stimulate our sense of we'll
being. So strongly do they regard
color's effect on physical health that
they even advocate pleasant color
harmony for the walls of dining
rooms as an aid to digestion.
Certainly in these days of litter
spreading, it's important to use all
the tricks in the color psychologist s
bag to induce repose, the quieting of
nerves and to lend encouragement.
Consequently, it's more than ad-
visable to give your home a color
tonic noW-to repaint dull walls and
to protect worn outdoor surfaces
with new coatings that safeguard
them against their ever present en-
emy-the weather.
There is still another angle to
such undertakings. The very plan
ming and carrying out of such prof.
ects has beneficial effect on taut,
ragged nerves.
AS for the economic advisability of
home rehabilitation at this time, a
telegraphic survey just conducted by
the prominent merchandising mag
azine, Retailing, serves as a guide
post. Says Retailing: I'm many in
stances, department stores reported
that home furnishings were, in fact,

the store. Higher units of sale,

caused great excitement in Denver
where, as happened so many times, the
miners were faded with camp routine;
the excitement of new find called,
and they began pulling stakes. The
Statelers decided to join the rush; this
was getting closer and closer TO that
far outpost of which the preacher had
dreamed in younger years.
Join Jim Bridger's Train
In 1864 they made their way to the
emigrant trail and Joined train bound
for what was soon to be Montana. It
happened to be old Jim Bridger's train
which ran a race with the caravan Of
John M. BOzeman In the first rush
through Wyoming on what was to be-
come the Bozeman trail. It was a close
race, with each leader proclaiming the
merits of his chosen route, east or
west of the Big Horn mountains. Had
Bridger followed the trail over the
Bozeman Hill, instead of turning up
Shields river to follow Bracket and
Bridger creeks to the Gallatin valley,
he probably would not have trailed
Bozeman into Virginia City by a mat
ter of a few hours.
The journey was scarcely begun
when word was passed through the
train that a minister was in their
midst. without consulting the good
man, arrangements we're made that
there would be no travel on Sundays.
and divine services were held at the
Sabbath camps.
Only one mishap marred the journey
for the Statelers. A horse became dis
abled and their wagon was tied TO
another to aid the team on the steep
roads. The wagon swerved and went
over an embankment. The preacher
was thrown far down the slope, and

Haw pointed out.
This spring there is an increasing
interest in Montana farming oppor-
tunities and the land settlement de-

received many more inquiries about
ranch properties than for several years
past.
These factors contribute to the OPP
timistic outlook Of the present time,
although the war IN Europe may have
an effect upon western agriculture
which cannot yet be determined, Haw
believes.

State Farm Outlook Best
In Years, Says Rail Agent

Montanas agricultural outlook is the
brightest in years, John w. Haw Of
st. Paul, land development agent Of
the Northern Pacific railroad, said at
Butte recently during the Montana
Stockgrowers association convention.
People want to come to Montana
to make their homes, and people all
ready here, who were deSpatring about
the future few years ago, want to
stay" he said There is every reason
to talk with enthusiasm again about
Montana's agricultural prospects"
Haw, an expert on land problems,
recalled that Montana and other states
of the northern great plains started
to suffer with the start of the drouth
cycle in 1880.
And the drouth was accompanied
by a twin evil for the farmers de-
pressed market which pushed prices
to near all-time lows.
THE farmers In those years had only
a limited production because OF arid
ness of the land and they received low
prices for their small crops. Naturally
this condition was reflected In all busi-
ness and industry. Cities in the area
suffered and the prospect was dismal.
It was difficult to talk to people about
Montana's opportunities In such times, !"
Haw said
The worst drouth years came In 1894
and 1896. Some Improvement WIGS
noted in 1888 and since that time
there has been gradual COMEBACK

vanced and people took new hope.

IT will endeavor to explain my state
ment and sincerely hope the explana-
ton will be to Mr.. Stuart's satisfaction.
GAS I said, looked over the regis
tration list at the headquarters of the
range riders and as far as could see,
my registration as beginning in 1888
was the earliest one shown. II Mr..
Stuart registered, he either registered
after I had looked over the list, or un-
fortunately I overlooked his regtstra-
ton, in which case am truly sorry.
II did not make the claim trying
to precede him as to early range
riding. When I wrote the article In
question, I did not mean to take In
the whole state Of Montana as a range.
W1thb llhQ Ia ul4lu was I4AC d4Cd
which we used TO call the eastern
Montana range. That was the country
from the mouth Of Armells creek on
the south side Of the Yellowstone river,
south to the Wyoming line. and from
the mouth Of the Big Porcuptne on the
north side Of the Yellowstone north to
the head Of the Big Dry and all this

ticle In question. am well aware that
there were many cattle on the range

west of 1t, years before any stock was
turned loose in the area of which I
wrote. I remember that Conrad Kohrs.
Nick and John Bielenberg. John T.
Murphy, Granville Stuart and others
had cattle ranging in that country
long before stock we're turned on the
range in the Miles City area.
II am sorry when I wrote the article
that I neglected to specify the range
I had in mind, for 1t seems this
omission was the cause of Charlie
Stuart's developing a mild case OF
blind staggers.' Doubtless there are
quite a few Of the old hands up there
