yet direful "barnyard blues, in
dedication to Adolph Schickel-
gruber and TOTO, the occasion
serving as a dynamic blast to
shoot up Glacier County's bond
sales approximately $50, 1000.
A check of bond sales Satur-
day and Monday showed that the
Saturday sale was directly and
indirectly responsible for the i'm.
pressiye squirt.
Practically all of the proceeds
realized from the sale were con-
verted into war bonds, an enjoy
able highlight of the event being
in the resale of property after it
had been donated to the Brown
ing War Mothers Club which was
represented at the scene by Mrs.
Fred K. Getty. member of the
group, with Bill Show 'plugger
extraordinary"
AS we have said. it was a bad
day for the firm of Schickelgru-
Der and Tolo, yet for the United

glorious.

yond the ordinary belly and
beans" business project. with
the spirit of Uncle Sam permeat-
ing it.

and continued until close to 5,
with Jess Olson as auctioneer and
W. E. Burnison as clerk. Jim
Burdette. former Browning resi-
dent and now at Cut Bank,

noon. and in addition set things
on fire with high cahooten ora
tory in reminding spectators and
prospective bidders of the pa
triotic duty that was imposed in
the nervous dollars that jingled
In their pockets.
Five calves, with G. S. Frary
of Cut Bank, Grace and Wright
Hagerty, Fred R. Getty and Mrs.
Berniece Lewis, successful bid
ders, were donated by them to
the War Mothers.
A band of nine lambs was pur-
chased by Dan MILESTONE, Cut
Bank Pioneer Press publisher,
He also donated them to the War
Mothers.
The War Mothers were also
benefciaries of a horse purchased
at bid by Bill Show from Rich
ard DuBray. Shows donation
of it to the Wsr Mothers empha-
sized that it takes everything to
win a war.
AS the sale continued the less
er creatures went on the block
and sold for MANIFOLD their value,
with the War Mothers cashing in
on the property through resale.
A pinto horse owned by Jesse
Monroe was purchased by Art

Goods Don't
Believe i'm Love
At First Sight

Goods at Montana State Uni
versity don't believe in love at first
sight And despite the wartime
trend, they're in no big rush to get
married
These and other facts are revealed
in campus survey of attitudes to-
ward engagement and marriage con-
Quoted by Miss Catherine Nutter-
ville's sociology class in THE Fam
ily." The conclusions are based on
the answers of 95 University wom-
en- proportionately allocated among
the four college classes. The medi-
an age of the group is 10.
A romantic I8 per cent of those
questioned look upon love at first
sight as requisite to happy mar
riage but an impressive 81 per cent
think there's nothing to it. The CO.
eds agree that Is is the ideal mar
riage age for men, % for women.
This, as Miss Nutterville points out,
means that Montana co-eds expect
to complete their college educa-
tions and carry on their careers for
two or three years, at least, before
marrying.
Despite the current paucity of
men on the campus, college con-
tinues to play an important role in
matchmaking Of the senior girls
questioned, SO per cent are already
engaged to be married. The per-
centage falls sharply in the direction
of the lower age groups; Al per
cent of the juniors are engaged, 10
per cent of the sophomores, 1212
per cent of the freshmen.
Only about one girl in nine met
her fiance in her home town; only
about one girl in eight met her
future husband through her own
family. Of those engaged, 81 per
cent met their frances through
school, college and mutual friends.
Of those not engaged, most hope to
meet their future husbands at
school, at social functions or at
work. A romantic 10 per cent hope
for a meeting in some novel way =
Unwilling to be rushed into mar
riage, even in tines like these, 81
per cent express preference for
year-long engagements. Another Is
per cent think six months long
enough. A meagre S per cent APP
