East, these children of the woods and
fields salute the Lord of Day.
The summer air is filled with fly
ing ants; even in city streets their
little nuptial flights 60 drifting. For
this one hour the queen ants and the
drones know the rapture of flight
and mating. When the brief honey
moon is over, they come down to
earth. The males will be left by
nature to die, and the female will
pluck off her frail wings and burrow
underground, to pass the remainder
of her life in darkness and as the
prisoner of her daughters.
Gardenias.
Gardenias are just as easily started
from slips as any hardwood plant
Take the new wood, place in a glass
of water in an east window for
several weeks. Do not let the roots
get more than one inch long before
potting, and be sure the soil is acid,
that is the secret of raising gardenias
in the house.
When the leaves turn yellow it is
sure sign that the plant needs more
acid in the soil. They like a sunny
window and plenty of moisture.
Our supplies of common pansy seed
has been coming to us in the past
from central Europe. Such seed,
grown by cheap labor-often by
women who work for Is cents a
day-has been laid down wholesale
in New York for sas low as SIS a
pound. But war in Europe has cut
off all this. So seed growers in
California put out these commoner
sorts of pansies in large acreages
last season. At one seed ranch 40
acres of them can be seen growing.
This homegrown seed will cost more,
for it was costing around SIG pound
for the harvesting alone. Pansy seed
is harvested by hand picking and a
field has to be picked over num-
of times.
Out of the twilight sky sweeps the
Keeling bat on noiseless wings. Bats
are cleverer than dogs, for what dog
could dash through an absolutely
black room, crisscrossed with piano
wires, and never strike one? They
are much more coolheaded than
birds, for what bird shut up on the
second floor of house has enough
sense to fly down the stairs and out
the door? Of all mammals in our
temperate fauna they are the least
harmful, for they never have got in
any lady's hair. They are the most
completely useful, for their only
food is insects.

Montana Moy
Expect Number
Of Tourists

That Montana's tourist industry
may be moderately successful this
summer was indicated by reports
from the Chicago Daily News travel
show, in which Montanans. lncor-
norated participated, officials Of the
organization said today. The show,
recently conducted, was attended by
over $4,000 persons, many Of whom
evidenced a decided interest in
Montana.
There appears to be very def
mite feeling on the part Of motorists
that the family car would be used
until the last stretch of rubber is
gone officials said. People seem
determined to wear out their tires
rather than allow them to rust out,
which will undoubtedly contribute
to reasonably successful tourist
business in Montana. One of our
representative made the comment
that I am beginning to be convinced
that we are going to get much more
automobile travel than we at first
imagined
Another representative COM
mented that Montana can look for
a considerable amount of tourist
business since people seemed de-
termined to take their vacations as
usual and are optimistic that some
adequate substitute for rubber will
be found before cars must be laid

SeIective Service
As Pertaining To
Form Labor

The new Interpretation on occupa-
tional deferments has been received
at the local Selective Service board
of Lincoln County and according to
board members, agricultural or
farm deferments are now more care
fully defined.
This new Interpretation is made
from the wartime viewpoint, and
while no substantial change in law
or regulations regarding occupation
al classification has been made since
the outbreak of war, nevertheless
their Interpretation must be changed
to meet drastically altered needs.
In order to allocate rnanpoWer
and to be assured that the activi-
ties essential to the prosecution of
the war are properly developed and
maintained, new Interpretation
must now be placed on the phrases
national health, safety, or interest
and war production"
Now that we are at war, the
phrase national health, safety, or
interest no longer includes mere
convenience and comfort.
In order that an activity may be
considered essential to the support
of the war effort, it's facilities must
be predominantly devoted to that
purpose.
Selective Service regulation pro-
vide that in Glass liza shall be
placed necessary men In agrI-
cultural or stockraising pursuits.
However, this may only be done
after it is shown that the man is
necessary" to the maintenance Of
the unit of production, but every
effort must" be continued to be
made to replace such men within a
period of six months or less, and
farmers and stockraisers are warned
that they can not expect to keep
indefinitely potential Ia men in 9
deferred class. Stays of induction
may be granted to meet short sea-
sonable demands.

Grodes Will Hold
Annual Trock Meet
In Libby

The grade students of the three
schools at Eureka, Troy. and Libby
will hold their annual track meet
at the City Athletic Park. This will
include both boys and girls from
the physical education classes OF the
three schools and will open at 80
D. m, Saturday, May 8.
The emphasis on physical fitness
has been emphasized throughout the
school system and these young peo-
pie are some of the products OF this
training in the grades.
The county track meet has his
tory that goes back to 1910. Orig
inally, both grade and high school
meets were held at the same time,
but the younger contestants felt as
though they were overshadowed by
the high school group and SO have
arranged for a track meet by them
selves. Judging by the enthusiasm
of the group, we may expect spir-
tied contest on Saturday. Earl
Price. of Eureka always turns out
good material, reports from Troy
indicate that they have a good team,
and Mr.. Borgen's crew, which has
now been turned over to the new
man, Francis Weger, state that they
will give a good account of them
selves.
The public is invited to watch
this group of young America in
action. Prices-l0c, l5c, and Csc.
Owing to the emergency conditions,
no trophy will be awarded this
year, but appropriate mention will
be made of the winning teams and
outstanding contestants. Lunch will
be served to all the visitors in the
little gymnasium promptly at 1900

which they buy their Hpstick, hair
