Maximum Lamb Crop
Appears In 0ffing

The Reservation lambing sea
son, which extends through most
of March, April and May, has in
dications of being most success
full. according to sheepmen. A
maximum lamb crop, with all
that could be desired as favorable
factors for healthy survival. is
the promise.
Several herds LANDED as early
as January. though it is in con-
trariness to the wisdom Of the
industry.
The usual January iEcIemen-
cies would have wiped out a lamb
ing herd that would have been
exposed, sheepmen point out. Be-
ing one of the most favorable o f
winters, sheep are now in the
best of condition as the result of
it.

Agriculture Prospects
Wait April Determination

Growers of winter wheat 10
this section say that it will not be
possible to determine the condi.
ton of the crop until around the
first of April and that any forecast
at this time is guesswork.
Frank Strufft, one of the larg-
est of the growers. said early in
t h e week t h a there seemed a
possibility t h a t winter wheat
would come through in fair shape
but he better judge its condition
in about three weeks from now.
County Agent R. G. Newell ex-
pressed about the same opinion.
F. E Manley, who farms south
and west of the Two Medicine ir-
rigation project. near the VIM.
WEIGH stock ranch, said he plant
ed l60 acres of winter wheat in
stubble last fall and that it seem
ed to be terminating 100 per
cent He said there was sufficient
moisture in the ground to give it
a good start in the spring.
Spring is here and there are
many evidences of preparation
for spring planting. Since a |
controls are off, it is probable
that a large acreage W iil be
planted to wheat and other bread
grains and probably less flax than
in former years.
! Some farmers are concerned
, over the moisture prospects. as
there has been little since the
! last part of June. 1913, Others
recall similar conditions in for.
mar years and are not inclined to
worry; they say the matter OF
distribution is of greatest import,
ance. May and June are the
icrop.makinx months and if tAers
lis a good distribution in these
months and in early July a GOOD
crop can be produced, especially
under scientific summer falloW
conditions.-Cut Bank Press.

is safe. That makes the lions On our
front cover very lucky indeed. They
left Europe just in time - just ahead
of the Germans. If they hadn't. they
would undoubtedly have been eaten
by now. That's what has happened to
most of Europe's lions.
These emigre lions are part Of the

the circus ever since = all together.
He even has Great Danes performing
with the wild animals.
NICE KITTY. Courts lions are
lucky for another reason. Court is of
the gentle school Of animal trainers.
No rough stuff. His way of training
a lion - or other wild animal ii
this: Go into the pen with little pieces
of meat attached to your belt and on
a string around your neck. Let the
lion in, and let him sniff the meat.
Pat his head and talk pleasantly to
him while he nibbles. Let him follow
you over to a stand. Then all you
have to do is start teaching him his
tricks. Like to try it?
Court is scornful of trainers who
shoot off guns and all that. 1t only
confuses an animal, he thinks, and
makes the job more difficult. And as
for trying to be rough with them, he
thinks that's a suckers game; lion

can play a lot rougher than any train
er. It's no use trying to make a lion
afraid of you, he says; you must get
his respect. Most important, accord
ing to Court, is the use of the voice.
He cares for his like an opera singer
Hair-raising stories? Court claims
he has none - and is proud of it.
If he ever got clawed up, he says, he

it because of the lesson learned from it.
1t is lesson millions have been learning
in the past four and a half years. But it is
going to be hard lesson to remember
when times get easier Hard, but essential.
Ofall the things we have in life. material
possessions are the least important.
Great works of art, countless objects
designed for the greater happiness of the
people, have been destroyed in this war
This destruction is a crime against the
human spirit. That crime must be laid at
the doors of those whose twisted phiIoso-
phies made the war inevitable
But the delicate beating of a single
human heart is more important than the
greatest of material things, because that
heart is the secret room in which all these
works of art and science are nurtured.
Hit is 50 m these great things, then how
puny becomes the passion for mere per-
sonal possession!
When the dawn came on the morning of
that September 4. 1899, when British
destroyer appeared as if from nowhere to
pluck seven of us from death, things could
never be the same for any of us again.
AFTER you have lost everything, YOU
realize for the first time how precious are
the things you still have the things
you hold in common with all men the
air to breathe and the blessed sun to warm
you -. friendship. and the everyday de-
lights of human association.
To have learned such lesson does not
justify the smallest horror of war. Yet to
have brought such new values from time
of testing. will not only make us better
men and women but will make the world
of tomorrow better world, built upon
more enduring foundations.

been abroad for the summer and were
returning home.
War? Yes. we talked about war. Ger
many had invaded Poland. We had known
that before we left Liverpool. And just
before noon of that very day the purser

We talked about these things. because
they were in our minds. But we talked
about other things too. The other things
may not have been foremost in our minds,
but we made as much of them as we could.
