Women's Comer
GIRL RESERVES
MEET AT "Y."
Corps No. 1 of the- girl reserves of
the Franklin school met Friday after
noon in the elub room of the 1. W. C.
A. and did Christmas sewing for chil
dren les» fortunate than they them
selves. One of the prime objects of
the girl reserves is usefulness, and these
little girls are helping to realize this
object and at the same time make a
pleasure of work. Their leader. Miss
Mary Kingsbury, met with them.
GLOVES AN ACCEPTABLE
GIFT FOR WOMEN.
No woman's wardrobe is complete
without gloves and more gloves. She
would really like a pair for every
costume she has and a few extras for
wear when others are soiled. This being
the case a pair of gloves always make
an acceptable gift—a gift that is a
pleasure to give and to receive. And in
spite of the much talked of scarcity of
leather there probably never was a
greater variety of gloves or more at
tractive gloves displayed at any time
in (Jreat Falls shops than can be seen
at the glove counters in the stores this
season. They have come out of their
boxes and wrapings and are displayed
in all their various styles and colors to
suggest to the holiday shopper that a
pair of gloves is just the thing to give
to mother or sister or niece or friend.
In Many Shades.
They can be secured at almost all of
the new shades to match the winter
suits, too. which is a great recommenda
tion in these days when the object in
costuming is to match everything from
hat to boots. The slip-on gloves is very
poular—especially here where the winds
blow so much for the soft, gauntlet worn
either inside or outside the sleeve keeps
out the chilly blast. These gloies in all
standard makes can be secured at prices
ranging from $3 to .$6. There are, of
course, as there always are, beautiful
kid gloves in all the delicate ^shades but
now when the mercury has a habit of
slipping down to zero so frequently these
dainty gloves are not as interesting as
the lined gloves with clever fur gauntlets.
Some of these gloves are lined with
wool and some with soft warm fur.
These arc just the thing for the woman
who drives a car in frosty weather. Tbev
are soft and flexible and do not look
bunchy on the hand but are as warm
qs toast.
Handbags Are Next.
A well gloved hand cannot carry a
shabby handbag, so one's mindfeoes easily
from gloves to handbags. Having de
cided that some friend shall have a bag
for Christmas along with your good
wishes, the difficulty comes in deciding
which or what, so endless is the variety
of lovely and beautiful receptacles in
the shops which are destined to carry
the precious stores of trash and treasure
that women lug about with them in
purses and bags. > _
In selecting a gift of this kind it is
well to know whether the person to re
ceive it is accustomed to carry a small
or large assortment of these dear things
for the bags this season are of every
size and shape. They are also of every
kind of material that bags were ever
made of, from leather to beads. The
leather bags may be unusual, though the
material is not—and, at that, there is a
large variety of leathers.
Some New Idteas.
The miniature suitcase is one of the
new ideas in bags, and these are usually
fitted up with all the novel and standard
toilet accessories that are found in bags
of the sort. These are particularly pop
ular with younger women and girds.
Then there are bags of velvet and of
silk, that can be secured in colors to
match the suit or coat. They come in
sizes from the little vanity bag to the
goodly sized shopping bag. These lat
ter would be especially acceptable to
older women.
MY HEART AND
MY HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations
of a Wife
WHAT ARTHUR WALTERS
BROUGHT TO MADGE
Despite the assiduous interest in my
convalescence which Maj. Grantlnnd dis
played, an interest which never permitted
my sick room to lack fresh roses, he was
not the first grown-up masculine caller
I had when my fractured rib had healed
sufficiently to permit of my walking
around downstairs and into the garden.
It was a far different sort of man whose
card Katie brought to me the first day
I was downstairs. She tendered it. at the
end of her fingers as if it were some
thing that would bite.
An Insistent Caller.
"I joost tired sweeping dot bunch of
soup greens off front porch."' she said
pertly. "He coom every day for two,
three days, say he want see you. I tell
him nothings doing till next week, but
1)'' coom joost same. Missis Fnderwood
she. say bring everybody to her, but he
never have time to stay. She ask me
vot he look like, and ven I tell her she
say he probably some young book agent,
iind tell me to say you never home, he
get tired rooming. He never give me
dat card before, but he saw you in yard
yoost now, and say bring dot card to
you qveeck. Vot. I say? Tell heem get
qveek to bell out of here?"
"Katie! Katiel"' I reproved, repressing
a smile with difficulty, for my little
maid's adventures in American slang
and mild profanity are iesesistibly funny
sometimes. "You must, not say such
things."
"I know. I always forget." Katie re
turned with superb nonchalance. "But
you pleese let me tell dot. empty can on
front steps joost dis voncp vot I said?"
Her eyes were laughing, her lips
pursed and pleading, and I knew that
she was anxious to save me the possible
ennui of seeing a persistent, stranger.
But, the name on the engraved rard
which she had handed me was not strange
to me. although I hod never seen the
man who owned the cognomen.

IRRIGATORS PLAN TO ERASE
ALL ARID SPOTS IN ALBERTA
Farmers and Business Interests Join in Projects to
Bring Vast Areas Under Ditch Water; Automo
bile Dealer of Lethbridge, Visiting Here, Tells
How Land Values Have Been Multiplied So Far.
Farmers and business interests of Al
berta are working vigorously and in great
harmony to bring about the reclamation
of large areas by irrigation. There has
already been a very substantial acreage
improved by water ditches and present
plans cover many thousands of acres ad
ditional, soon to be linked up with the
.canals carrying the water to insure crop
production. The farmers who have ex
perienced the benefits know well what
great advantage comes from having land
irrigated and those who have witnessed
the progress of farmers within the irri
gation district no longer doubt the value
and are working to get such benefits for
themselves. The government, believing
that irrigation is good for the whole peo
ple, is lending its credit to the enter
prise, to the end that the undertaking
may be financed, and during the next
must be the idolized brother. "Art, of
whom she, had so often spoken. That
the young man was a stanch friend of
Kenneth Stockbridge I also knew, and
my decision to see him was taken in a
moment. ,
"Take Mr. Walters into the living
room, Katie," I said with quiet, sober
ness, the manner which always best sub
dues my volatile little maid, "and say
that I will be there directly."
"All right, I feef," she acquiesced, and
in another moment I heard her assuring
my caller that "Meesis Graham, she
coom in double queeck." *
My first impression of Mr. Walters as
he sprang to his feet at my entrance
was of extreme boyishness, but a second
look told me that he was much older
than he seemed, that in fact the early
thirties were not far away from him if
he had not already entered them. But
young or old. be was the most pre
possessing chap, and I felt the tremors
which had seized me at the sight of the
word "attorney"—one to be dreaded in
the present state of uncertainty^ sur
rounding the mystery of Milly Stock
bridge's death—vanish at my first look
into the steady hazel eyes of the young
solicitor.
"Mr. Walters, I believe," I said, cor
dially. "I am Mrs. Graham. I have heard
of you often from your sister, Esther,
lie laughed boyishly.
"Not more often than I have heard of
you from the same source," he countered
"prmptly. "I only hope her acounts of
me are as enthusiastic as those she
gives of you."
"They are the last word in enthusi
asm." I smiled, and then as we sat down
in chairs facing each other I saw that
the voung attorney's face grew grave.
"I must oulv detain you a moment,
Mrs. Graham, for I find that, because of
my friendship for Kenneth Stockbridge
I "am constantly shadowed. But I have
a letter for you from him which he
could trust to no one else, and which he
insisted that I must deliver only into
your own hands. I know nothing of its
contents, but I do know that if you are
ever asked if I brought you any message
from Kenneth Stockbridge you must deny
it positively. Say that my bushiess with
you was a purely personal one, invent
any excuse you please, but give no one
an inkling that my friend has ever sent
you a message of any sort, lou will
promise this?"
"Of course," I said simply, but I felt
. again the shadow of intolerable mystery
and crime enwrapping me as 1 spoke.

BIG CHICKEN FEED
FOR LOCAL ORPHANS
Pie Dumplings and Giblets Make

Chicken pie. chicken dumplings and
chicken giblets in plentiful amount, so
that not one of the more than 160 chil

and hash to keep fresh for a day or j

thankful for. tells briefly the story of
the dinner at the home on Thursday.
Of course, there were other things be
sides chicken and chicken suggestions.
There was plenty of celery, a lot of good
delicious apples and other things, and
the Sisters of the home are exceedingly
grateful for the remembrance of friends
which made the dinner i>ossible.
A list of contributors to the dinner
supply issued by the home shows that
Bishop M. C. Lenihan gave $100 in cash.
I)an Tracy and F. It. Van de Putte sent
257 pounds of chicken, J. P. Trainor
contributed one dozen chickens on the
hoof, J. B. Mullen sent in a side of veal,
Nick Poncelet gave a box of crisp celery
and Joe Matteucci sent a box of fancy
apples.
year much will be done on the newest
project, near Lethbridge, which will add
fully 150.000 of irrigable acres to the
amount already under the water ditches.
Means Agricultural Oasis.
The foregoing paragraph summarizes
the situation as to irrigation in the prov
ince of Alberta, according to A. G.
Baalim, of Lethbridge, who is in Great
Falls on a business mission. Mr. Baalim
is president of the liCthbridge Itotary
club. He is an enthusiastic believer, not
only in the city of Lethbridge, but in all
Alberta, and he says the future of all
that section will see development sur
prisingly largo in its scope within the
next half dozen years. He declares that
the experience of the irrigationists there
has been so profitable that it has in
spired everybody with a faith and a de
termination to bring about further de
velopment by water ditches that will en
compass a vast area of the semi-arid
country. It is his view that the agri
cultural land of the province, once treat
ed to the water cure, will make it one of
the richest farming sections on the con
tinent.
Results in Bumper Crops
"Our farmers who have irrigated land
have been harvesting from three and one
half to six tons of alfalfa a season and
they always find a ready market for
their hay," said Mr. Baalim. "Those
farmers and stockmen who have been in
need of purchasing hay can best testify
whether good prices prevail generally
for alfalfa. This year the prices have
been a bit high, but always the average
is such as to insure a splendid return
on the investment. Our land which is
about to be put under the ditch is in the
class that commands from $20 to $30 an
acre and the average would strike about
$25. We are able to bring the water to
the land for about $35. But allowing,
say, 20 per cent margin on the cost of
project development, the land with water
ready would still have cost under $70 an
acre. Land which has been watered and
relatively of the same quality has been
changing owners at an acreage price of
from $115 to $125, so, purely fr<m the
investment viewpoint, it pays to bring
the land under the ditch.
Bonded as in Montana.
"Our plan of irrigation development
is similar to what I am told is the plan
of Montana. We create the water dis
trict and bonds secured by the provincial
government are issued for the work. The
district necessarily contains much more
land than can be watered, as the con
tour precludes irrigating portions. But
all is subject to the lien created by the
district bonds. So the investor has
something better than a first mortgage.
He has a first lien on the land and, in
addition thereto, he has the guarantee
of the government that the debt will be
paid. That has resulted in bond and
investment companies seeking to buy any
issues of irrigation bonds that we may
be ready to offer, and the question of
financing a project is one of the easiest
things in the district development.
Nibbling Desert Away.
"It is conceivably an easy matter to
believe that a quarter of a century hence
; the great farming section of the Ameri
can continent will be what a few years
ago was marked the 'Great American
Desert' on the geographies, for I am
I convinced that, our brethren on this side
I of the international line are just as
much alert to the opportunity as our
people, and I believe there will, in the
next two decades, be a wonderful devel
opment of irrigation projects all the
I wav from the farthest point north at
which irrigation will be profitable, even
! to the Mexican border on the south."
Business Prospects Bright.
' Mr. Baalim says that the automobile
! business about Lethbridge has been quite
' active during the past year, and he is
j anticipating a big year opening with
Jan. 1. lie says his only trouble has
i been to get the cars he needed for bis
j trade, but with tin,- war a year in the
! past lie believes that factory output will
i more nearly approach proportions that
will take care of demands, and he hopes
I to be able to get all the cars he needs
jnext season.
I "From time to time T have occasion
j to visit Great Falls," said Mr. Baalim,
j "and it. has become a pleasure to visit
i here, for I find so many genial and
! capable business men and such a splen
didly-built city. We have a busy city,
but, " there are some things we sadly
need. One of the greatest needs of
Lethbridge is a hotel or two that will
give the traveler willing to pay for it «
service such as your best hotels here
can so ably render. We are extending
an invitation to any investor who wants
something that is sure to prove worht
while to come to Lethbridge and look
ever the situation, for we believe that, lie
will want to invest his money in a » irst
class hotel."

Red Cross Here Receives Re
quests for Help and Advice
From Many Soldiers.
In the mind of the ordinary citizen the
woik of the Red Cross as far as soldiers
and sailors are concerned is over. But
a visit any afternoon to the home service
section of the local chapter will con
vince anyone that this idea is an error
in the mind of those who holds it.
Soldiers not only visit home service in
search of aid in seeking employment or
a loan to tide them over a tight place
until they secure work but there are de
mands still for assistance in getting
bonuses, and extra travel pay and in
straightening up other affairs with the
government,
Requests for help of this kind come in
daily, according to Mrs. II. E. Carrier,
secretary of the home service section.
On Wednesday, for instance, Mrs. Car
rier said she received letters from Mis
sissippi, Texas, Idaho and Wyoming ask
ing that she transact business of one
kind and another with the government
on the behalf of boys who enlisted here
and who since their discharge have drift
ed to these other states.
But she said further that the letters
of gratitute which came to her desk on
Thanksgiving day from boys whom she
had helped and advised before made her
more than glad to take up her work
again next morning. She believes that
thankfulness are an indication that the
Red Cross is doing a. work in character
building as well as giving material as
sistance.
DECREE AND OLD
NAME GIVEN WIFE
A decree of divorce and the privilege 1
of resuming her former name of Ida M.
Livingston was granted to Ida M. Clark
in the district court Friday by Judge
J. B. Leslie. Mrs. Clark brought the
suit against Howard M. Clark, alleging
that her marital relations with her hus
band became intolerable because of his
acts of cruelty.
The court found that the charges were
substantiated by competent evidence and
granted the decree, permitting the plain
tiff to resume her former name because
she holds real estate as Ida Livingston.
The court's decree relates that .it
Sunburst, on September 1. 1017. Clark
threatened to kill his wife and that he
frequently repeated the threat and mis
used her in other ways. The parties had
not resided together for over a year at
the time Mrs. Clark's suit was initiated.
Clark made no appearance in his own be
half.
