Reservoirs constructed in all parts
OF the state have provided much need

more uniform distribution of stock on

Here are scenes of children's classes
at the Butte art center, where hun
dreds of Butte youngsters flock to
clasSrOoms to learn painting and model
ing. The large scene above shows kid
dies expressing themselves with paint
ing and watercolor while the lower
scene pictures a group of enthusiastic
youngsters engaged in modelling ac-
tivities.
Children'S classes are but one of the
many activities, including exhibitions,
at the Butte art center. Another ac-
tivity to spread the art center idea
to other communities. As a result
Great Falls has the first important
project away from Butte. Space for
the center has been allocated by the
city council in the new civic center
building. Both projects are operated
with the assistance of the WPA art
project.
The class of modelers are dubbed
''mudders" by those working with the
brush. They fashion out heads of
horses, dinosaurs, PLAQUES in relief,
portraits of themselves, their dogs and
their toys. One little boy said he did
not enjoy his production as much as
he did the pleasure of feeling the soft
moist clay. Satisfactory shapes are
rendered into more permanent form
in plaster and are proudly carted home.

1911 Crop Insurance
De0dIine Set as Auu. 81

Montana farmers who plan to insure
their 1941 winter wheat under the fed
eral crop insurance program are re-
minded by F. H. Richardson, acting
chairman OF the state AAA committee,
that Aug. 81 Is the closing date for the
acceptance Of crop insurance applica-
tons on winter wheat.
ITO insure 1914 winter wheat crops,
producers must apply for insurance
and pay the premium before the crop
is seeded or by Aug. 81 whichever Is
earlier" Richardson said. He added
that there has been no change in the
Feb. % closing date for taking out
spring wheat insurance. Otherwise the
rules which govern the 194l all-risk
crop insurance program are virtually
the same - the provisions Of the 1910
program.

Freddy, 80 years old, veteran of
Is major league seasons and one of
the few pitchers who have won 200
big league games, has been a team
player from the start. He's steady
on the ground and he's an extra

He's known as a pitcher who always
gives the enemy a battle-even in
those seasons when he seemed to be
slipping and Bill Terry traded him
from the Giants to Brooklyn.
Fitz, native of Mishawaka.
Ind, came up from Indianapolis to
New York in 1925 and remained a
Giant until 1887, when he was
traded to the Dodgers for Tom
Baker after a couple of poor sea-
sons. He has been one of the main
stays OF the Brooklyn staff ever
since, winning IL games and losing
only two this season.
That's why the fans got together
and bought him an automobile; his
teammates presented him with a
shotgun, the baseball writer's con-
tributed set of pipes and various
others added smaller gifts.
