ONLY A BABY
A short funeral peoceeeion wended
its way down Broadway a few days
ago headed North. The usual curios
ity, common to such occasions mani
fested itself among those on the busy
street hut as the cortege slowly pass
ed by and a Bttte white casket ap
peared in viewthe onlooker* resawed
their conversation* or tamed and
went on their Way for it waa "oaly.a
baby".
No well known adult, no prominent'
social leader, no important widely
known profeasional or business man of
the city had passed away. It waa
"only a baby".
A ad so out yonder a dainty form,
still and cold, is unclasped by a
mother's arms tonight. Eyes that yes
terday were bright and blue as the
skies of June, are dropped tonight be
tween white lids, that no vote can
ever raise again. Two soft hands,
whose rose leaf fingers were wont to
wander lovingly around mother's face
loosely hodling white buds are quietly
lolded in 'Confined rest. Soft lips,
yesterday rippling with laughter,
sweet as woodland brook falls, gay as
thrill of forest birds, tonight are un
responsive to kiss or call of love, A
silent home—-the patter of baby feet
forever hushed—a cradle bed un
pressed, little shoes half-worn, dainty
garments with shouldered knots of
blue to match those eyes of yesterday,
are folded with aching hearts away.
Yes, it was "only a baby". There
is a tiny mound, snow covered tonight.
There is a mother's groping touch, un
easy in slumber for the fair head that
will never rest upon her bosom. The
low sob, the bitter tear, as broken
dreams awake to sad realities.
''Only a baby"—The hope of future
years, wrecked; Iffe, fair ship that sank
in sight of Jond. A mother .watching
other babies, dimpled laughing, strong
Wttjh nothing l*ft tq her.but preset
agony of grief, future emptiness of
heart aad a sad, sweet memory of
"only a baby''.
BREAKS RESOLUTIONS
A man living over on Platt Avenue
brokif one of his New Years resolu
tions the otfier day. It seems that
Ire ' had rwshni to tell the truth for]
a month «nd if successful, to keep it
up at least until the fishing season

that for thirty full days, his life, not
only in the present but in the past as
well, should ..be ap open book to those
who cared to read.
I He went over te.aee «n acquai ntanae

Montana's wheat, and why. He says;
"But the reif I proof of seed quality is in the market price and again
Montana comes to the front with colors flying. For the three years, 1920,
and 1922, the United States department of agriculture, found that
74-4 per cent of Montana hard wheat graded N f >. 1, while only 83 per cent,
of North Dakota wheat made this grade, 28.3 per cent of South Dakota
wheat, 20.6 per cent of Minnesota wheal and 7.2 pci cent of Iowa wheat.
For three years over 50 per cent of the hard red spring wheat graded at,
lhe K rain inspection laboratory at Montana Suite ( ollego has weighed 01
pounds or over.
"A recent study of 47 curs of Montana wheat showed an average
protein content of 14.89 per cent. A similar study of North Dakota wheat!
showed an average gluten content of 12.46 per cent and 44 cars of South
Dakota wheat averaged 12.2 per cent gluten. At this lime Montana wheat
brought a premium of from 15 to 23 per cent, while the premium
North Dakota wheat ranged from 0 to 10,76 per cent and South Dakota
wheat Q to 3 per cent.
"Why tfcis premium? Because th» American housewife's demands

sections may over-produce in »'heat but there is little if any danger of
over-production of wheat of the Montana quality.
"Wheat is of great economic significance in Montana. Over 50,060,000
