Nutrition experts for some time
have been urging people to eat
certain. vegetables that yield vita
min A. A ready source of this is
three yellow pigments that are in
carrot roots and in a number of
other plants. Eggs, milk, liver oil
and some other foods furnish the
vitamin A but the source is in the
vegetables consumed by animals.
The basic element is carotene.
The new discovery takes caro-
tene out of alfalfa by a simple,
practical process. And progress
toward the idealized pill diet is
indicated by the announcement
that "a ton of alfalfa meal, con-
tanning a half pound of carotene,
would be source of sufficient vita

To Seek Explanation
For Lack of Gain
In Mountain Goats

Montana's herds OF mountain sheep
are not increasing In size fast enough.
and the state fish and game depart
ment hopes to learn why.
A detailed study will be made of a
band of sheep which frequents the
Kootenai river country, IN western
Montana.
Robert Cooney, state big game man
ager, and James A. Weaver, fish and
game warden, announced that the in
Yestigation would be started immedi-
ately by Robert Brinck. graduate in
wildlife management at Montana State
university. Brinck Is to conduct his
study throughout the winter and re-
port next spring.
Montana's mountain sheep, pic
tllresque, nimble-footed jewellers in
the high places, have not made salts
factory progress for several years. Al
though they appear to have ample
protection and native range countries
apparently are unchanged, the herds
numbers have actually decreased
The Kootenai herd numbers ap-
proximately 100, ranging along the
east side Of the Kootenat river be-
tween Libby and Rexford.
Brinck win obtain an animal census
study types Of forage, investigate snow
handicaps and list the herd losses and
probable causes.

A few years later the boy received

Then the boy rose TO the occasion.
He suggested that his father 20 back

One Of the well known charac-
tiers Of Virginia City lE the early
days was a man named John
Stone. He secured q good claim
below discovery which yielded him
handsome returns. and after n
couple Of successful seasons was
ON the road TO fortune. He was
a very taciturn man, and made
few acquaintance. He had mined
In California before coming 20
Montana, and limited his friends
70 men he had known In the gold
diggings Of that state.
One day a fine looking young man
drifted into Alder gulch. He went TO
work in the mines and gave It out that
he was looking for his father He
was told that a man named John
Stone was working a claim near town
and he proceeded to look him up II
developed that the newcomer and
John Stone were father and son. Beth
were rejoiced over the discovery.
Stones Strange story
John Stones life story came out.
It seems that he was a young man In
Arkansas before gold was struck In
California He had been a farmer and
had made only an indifferent success.
He decided to 20 TO California. and
told his wife that II he made for
tune he would send for her and their
little family. He also said that II she
did not hear from him she could
marry someone who was in better
shape to take care OF her than he
was.
Years passed and no word came
from John Strong The young woman
concluded that he was dead, and mar
ried again This time she was more
fortunate, and her new husband made
a competency for her and Stones little
brood Of children.
The eldest boy was a young man
grown when good news came to him
OF the gold strike In Montana. He de-
cided to make the trip to Virginia
City in search Of his father and for

where Clusters men died. The bones
of the dead we're inferred where Gus
ter fell, and the monument stands
guard above them
Clusters bones were removed to West
Point; those Of his brother, Capt. Tom
Custer, to Arlington National cemetery,
Washington, d. c., and those Of other
officers to Fort Leavenworth National
cemetery in Kansas. The remains Of
only one officer, Lieut.. j. j. Crittenden,
were buried where they lay at the re-
quest of relatives. A few years ago
his remains were moved TO the ma
tional cemetery few hundred yards
away.
TO perpetuate the memory Of the
men who fought valiantly against
tremendous odds and lost their lives
on the field of conflict, President
OF Dec. z, 1886, set aside an area
of Approximately q square mile, en-
bracing the battle scene, for national
cemetery purposes.
While all Of the reservation Is deSig-
mated as a national cemetery, plot
of slightly more than six acres-a
verdant gem on the slope overlooking
the valley of the Little Big Horn-is
used for burial purposes, to be ex-
banded as time may warrant. Here
we're buried the dead of Reno's COM
mand. and the men who fell at Fort
Phil Kearney and other Indian en-
gagements, all transferred here after
the abandonment of the frontier
posts.
Monuments to the dead Of many
regiments stand on the greensward, |
while grave markers designate the !
resting places OF men whose identity
is not known. AT frontier posts it was
not possible to preserve for long the |
identity of graves, so just who Is who

Is the turf above them, keeping fresh !
the memory Of their deeds.

by, the tfmbered course Of the river

which rise brown under the au-

Leaving the highway at a guide

This Is the far-famed Custer battle

the frontier and brilliant gem among
the jewels of Montana's proud history.
Many stories have been told, and
many opinions expressed of the merits
and dement's OF the campaign wherein
brave men fell in bloody sacrifice to
dedicate this ground. That story Is a
matter of official record. There Is no
need for the battle of the Little Big
Horn of June to 81. 1875, to be de-
scrfbed here. Sufficient 1t Is that here
lie heroes of the conquest of the great
western frontier, men who paved the
way for the vanguard Of Americas

With pressure light upon the
throttle, and with mind to reverence
attuned, we ride slowly up the hill
