A fable for husbands only... ..Once upon stime there was q wife who said to her husband: Lets paint that doorway near the Kitchen" Her husband, though he should have known better said 1t was good idea. The doorway painting went on to include the Kitchen and the hall. Then, of course the missus had to say brightly. "Well, that we have this much done we might as we'll do the rest of the house."
 The painting done, the house has to have new curtains and drapes with the lady of the house making 1t clear that any fool would realize that simple pOiR Natur. ally. that calls for encouragement of the furniture agan with the lady ecstatic in that happy element of all women who love to switch furniture around. The loyal husband weary though his contribution has been limited principally to encouragement is about ready to collapse when the ndeatgable lady suggests archly: 'Wouldnt today be good time to finish our Christmas shopping, dear?" The moral of this fable is: Young men who get married should not pick interior decorators but after marriage there girls of no other kind

 Our Waterbury. . . We are sure some of you recall Christmas seasons of yeseryear when the around town was somewhat the but different if you know what mean Exchange Place looked about as it does today, with little modern streamlning. There was 'Baubys, the popular fruit emporium fixing up de luxe baskets for Christmas giving. The Apothecaries Hall and Dexters Drugstore the latter on the northeast sqe ol the Center showing great big boxes of Lowneys and Page and Shaws, the redribbon trimmed packages delight to the eye And Kelys the old reliable landmark, with the famous black cat dispenser of Christmas candy and popcorn and cornucopas Young faces pressed to the windows before the holiday gazing longngy at that mountain of ribbon candy; at the ccrnucopas hanging one which mdde-aged and old folks win never forget Then there Currans Dry Goods Store just north of Miller Pecks. lifesized Santa appeared about this tme pack his back and the youngsters were six deep in front of the store window And within and downstairs the basement offered dolls, drums, Jackn-the-ooxes games toys to wnd seds and everything little and big child could desire Rowland Hughes then Reid Hughes had upstairs toy department and all departmept ana novelty stores replete with perfume fans, lingerie gloves nens etc. etc. And the art and novelty stores had gifts and pictures Book lovers haunted the Book Haunt EIs), and later Davis and Nyes and there was much odo about getting the newest Rover Boys book for Junior The Little Prudy Books for Sister and Nursery Rhymes for the youngest of the family When Knight, hood Was in Flower was selected for Mother ana Dad got good heavy inkwe and almost swordlength paper cutter. Those the days when Our Waterbury was queter place than today and few if any cars filled the streets horsedrawn vehicles making the only traffic con- geston and hacks numbering back and forth from the IF stations the drivers thrashng their back and forth to keep The older folks tell us there was toy store on South Main Street. Femers and doubtless there were others of earlier period Reading local his- tory we gean that store keepers often had another pro- fesson or business farmers perhaps other pur suit They often carried business in their homes That the picture back in the days when there were busss trucks and auomCbes tearing up and down the main streets either side of the and hher and yon The chatter in earlier century the cop clop of horses hooves and the great holiday approached the street decoration such today home lighting there was gaety and festvy and Christmas trees and dolls and Santa Claus in Our Waterbury of earlier era At least that's the way hear it.

for the two offer a fascinating
contrast in their respective roles
of an amiable but hardened
bandit and the little girl who
proves she can hold her own
with the toughest.
1t is this curious attachment o1
the ill-asSorted pair that brings
an unusual tenderness and
appeal to the narrative of a
bandit and his accomplice ir
thievery who join up with a
caravan of Mormons in order to
escape tetection.
Bascomb finds his toughness
of no avail against the wiles o1
the affectionate little child, and
finds himself working much
against his will as a handy man
to Marjorie Main, playing q
sharp-tongued widow and, Incl.
dentally, contributing one of the
funniest portrayals of her carer
When this apparent softness
upon the part of BaScomb inter
feres with their plans to steal
a bag of gold carried by the
Mormons, his henchman Yancey,
steals the gold himself, in the
process of killing the Mormon
leader who has befriended them,
This act brings upon him the
wrath of Bascomb and, in return,
Yancey leads a pack of Indians
in an attack on the caravan.
The story is brought TO an
unexpected ending in tur-
bulent climax, with Bascomb

Agricultural
Information
By The Montana State
College Extension Service

Bozeman.-To help Montana
dalrymen in balancing practical
ratlonS at minimum cost for
their herds, the Montana Ex-
tension service has published a
new circular entitled THE Milk
Producers Feed Guide"
Written by j. o. Tretsven, ex-
tension dairy specialist, the cir
cular tells what to feed, the
relative value of dry roughages
the place of silage and roots,
and advantages of good, irri-
gated pasture. The dairyman is
also given guides on how much
to feed In winter and a number
OF winter rations are suggested
The circular concludes with
pertinent pointers on good feed
ing and management practices.
Copies of the circular may be
obtained from county extern
sion agents or, if no agent is
available, by writing to the
Montana Extension service at
Bozeman;
BY taking part in the state
All accident survey activity
being sponsored by the Mon
tana highway patrol in cooper
alton with the Montana Exten-
sion service, All club members
can do much toward reducing
the number of farm and home
accidents that annually take
many lives, cause injuries and
lost time, says Ray E. Cameron,
state club leader at Montana
State college.
This year, Cameron said, &C
cident prevention will be the
chief All health activity and
club members throughout the
state are strongly urged to
take mart IN the accident sur
vey. Complete details about this
activity he said, may be OBJ
tanned from county agents.
In this activity, Cameron ex-
planned, club members will use
a special report form and re-
port on all accidents of conse-
quence that occur on their
farms, in their homes and in
their communities. Club men,
berS, clubs and counties doing
an outstanding job in the sur
vey will be accorded special
recognition.
Available pasture will be OF
more value to poultry produc-
ers this season than at any
time in recent years. Feed is
limited, high in price, and still
OF low quality as compared t.
