Lincoln Social Well
Attended Thursday Evening.
The Lincoln social which was held
in the Methodist church on Thursday
evening was well attended in spite of
the inclemency of the weather. While
without the night was disagreeable,
within the church was warmth and a
general feeling of good will. Those
taking part in the program were most
generous in their response to encores
and some who had not previously ar
ranged to do so very kindly responded
to requests for readings and songs,
and thus assisted in making the eve
ning a most pleasant one. The slides
on the life of Abraham Lincoln which
were to have been used in connection
with the lecture failed to arrive in
time. However, Rev. Jeffery gave a
very interesting address, which effi
ciently took its place.
Refreshments were served by a com
mittee of which Mrs. Jeffery was
chairman, consisting of nut bread
sandwiches, pickles, pie with whipped
cream, coffee and cocoa.
The proceeds realized from the so
cial were $41.00.
ALFALFA PROFITS
AND A DRY YEAR
The Reclamation Record published
by the reclamation service of the de
partment of the interior has the fol
lowing interesting article on alfalfa
profits in the Milk river valley:
A farmer on the Milk river project
realized the remarkable return of S100
per acre from his alfalfa crop the past
season. He threshed the alfalfa for
seed and thereafter sold the alfalfa
straw as well, getting $15 per ton for
it. Figuring a return of 10 per cent
on the investment, it is figured that
irrigated land in that project is worth
81,000 per acre.
As an illustration that the profits
were not confined to one individual,
the last issue of the Valley County
Farm Bureau News publishes the fol
lowing item bearing on the same sub
ject:
Mr. W. M. Moecker of Nashua re
ports that his thirty acres of alfalfa
netted him on an average of $90 per
acre or $2,700 profit on the thirty
acres he had in to alfalfa. Does it
pay?
PLAN MEMORIAL
T O VAN ORSDEL
A $100,000 memorial building in
honor of the memory of Rev. W. W.
("Brother Van") Van Orsdel will be
constructed on the campus of the Mon
tana Deaconess school in the Helena
valley, as a result of a decision reach
ed by Methodists. The memorial
building rested either with Montana
Wesleyan or the Deaconess school, but
it has been definitely decided to give
it to the school.
Rev. John Chirgwin has been select
ed to take charge of the campaign
for the funds and will make it state
wide. Hundreds have voiced their
willingness to support the building of
a memorial in honor of the pioneer
missionary.
The school was conceived by "Bro.
Van" and Miss Louise Stork, a deacon
ess, then in Montana, and others as
sociated with them in the work of the
M. E. church. They established the
school for children under the manage
ment of the deaconesses of the M. E.
church to give them the conditions
of both home and school under Chris
tian influences.

THEY ARE PLANTING
COMMERCIAL CLUBS
TO B OOST C OUNTRY
(Great Falls Tribune, Feb. 12)
Two of the most active delegates
to the state convention of commercial
club secretaries now in session in
Great Falls come from the section
usually referred to as the "High
Line" of the Great Northern rail
way. They are C. R. Hauke of Chi
nook and L. E. Jones of Glasgow,
president and secretary of the Nor
thern Montana Development associa
tion. The Northern Montana Devel
opment association is still in its in
fancy, but it is a healthy and prom
ising infant and with the two aggres
sive gentlemen mentioned doing tlïè
nursing, there isn't any doubt in the
minds of those who know the situa
tion that it is destined to play an im
portant part in the future growth of
that section of the Treasure state.
The Northern Montana Development
association, according to Mr. Hauke
and Mr. Jones, was planned to bring
concert of action to any plan in which
there was concert of interest for the
community affected. It secured affil
iation of all commercial clubs that
have been organized and where there
is no active club it sees to it that one
is organized.
The foresight which prompts the lat
ter policy includes in its scope of vi
sion the nevd for general and effective
work when such matters as large road
bond issues are to bo determined at
the polls, when securing the location
of such transcontinental highways
through the state as the "Theodore
Roosevelt Memorial highway" is in
volved and many other matters in
which the several communities have
a genuine community interest at stake.
There have been organizations per
fected in something like a dozen of
the towns along the "High Line."
There is no claim made that they have
a large and flourishing membership.
In fact, Mr. Hauke and Mr. Jones
frankly announce that they are or
ganizing clubs in some places where
there are no other members than the
president and secretary, but they hope
to add others to the list and they are
going to include the farmers as well
as the merchants for they declare that
the association has the interests of all
citizens of northern Montana as its
chief aim and purpose and it wants to
see the farmer prosper just as it hopes
to see the merchant successful.
"We are working steadily to bring
an effective organization for the good
of all citizens in northern Montana,"
said Mr. Jones in discussing the as
sociation. "We know that if the wel
fare of our section of the state is
properly cared for there must be or
ganized effort to bring it about. For
example, there is the issue of the road
bonds coming up for decision of the
voters at flhe fall election. There
must be information spread to the
voters about the issue if we are to
see it voted. Who shall do that work?
If we have organizations everywhere,
we can answer that promptly. We
can then send the information to the
secretary of the commercial club. It
will then be in the hands of one who
will see that it gets distribution."
The work of spreading this organ
ization is being given much attention
just now by Mr. Hauke and Mr. Jones.
From here they will go to Toole coun
ty to confer with people there for
extending the organization to towns
in that section.
One of the most recent occasions
when the effectiveness of this new or
ganization was demonstrated was
when a series of meetings was held
through the north country in the in
terest of irrigation development. The
association took hold of the plan and
everywhere there were people out to
attend and take part in the discussion
of the problem. The people are work
ing together, according to Mr. Hauke
and Mr. Jones and also according to
others who have observed what has
already been accomplished.

Beautiful New Georgette and Crepe-de
chine Blouses—savingly priced at $7.50
-—C>
—At a time when sales of odds and ends, out-of-season styles are rampant, let
us emphasize the fact that these Blouses are NEW; refreshingly new, that
they were but recently designed and made up especially for us and for the oth
er good stores in other cities who, too, have arranged for their exclusive sale.
None of these styles have been shown here or elsewhere before.
—These Blouses are savingly priced and the savings are really substantial
simply because of the fact that the materials were bought months ago at much
less than the prevailing price, and they were made in a manner that effects
very large economies. If we were obliged to buy these Blouses in the open
market it would be necessary to sell them at a considerably higher price.
The model at the extreme left is of Crepe de chine, tailored, but
not too severely plain. Has two jaunty pockets, convertible col
lar and self colored buttons. WS-11 is of Georgette Crepe, with
pretty lace collars, and with fine tucks trimming front and cuffs.
WS-14 is a tailored Georgette model with front pleasingly trim
med with numerous fine tucks and rows of hemstitching. WS-13
at the right is of Georgette with Filet collar, and finely tucked re
veres crossing in surplice effect.
The sale of these new Waists at this price at this time gives added
evidence of the fact that despite market conditions, there's always
a saving on the Blouses, bought here.
