August 15,- 22- - 29) Montana Leads Nation With Albino Buffaloes Out of slightly more than 5,000 albino buffaloes in the United States and Alaska, the state of Montana leads the nation with 1,044 of the shaggy beasts, according to recent census figures. More than 900 are divided between the National Buffalo range at Moiese and the Crown Indian reservation in south central Montana. The rest are scattered among various ranches throughout the state. The white buffalo, a rarity even when buffalo were as common as cattle are now, was born several years ago on the government range at Moiese. Dr. W. T. Hornaday, internationally known biologist, tells that he "met many old buffalo hunters who had killed thousands and had seen scores of thousands of buffaloes, yet never had encountered a white one." Another authority, E. Douglas Branch, said there was "only one white animal in the 5,000,000 or more bison of the southern herd." Indians looked upon an albino with awe and considered it "big medicine." For a good skin they sometimes paid the price of 10 or 15 horses, according to Branch. White men also coveted the rare pelts and there is a report, of a plainsman who sold one for $1,000. , Anti-Horse Thief Band Now 0ut of Existence The "Gumbo Protective association, incorporated in 1906 by residents of the St. Louis county community as a vigilante organization to war on horse thieves, was dissolved by Circuit Judge Julius R. Nolte at Clayton, Mo., at the request of the association, which said there was no longer any reason for its existence. Testifying in support of the association's request to disincorporate, Domian Mueller, president, recalled that in the old days, when horse stealing was rampant, it was necessary for people to band together for mutual protection. Vigilante committees were formed to track down horse thieves and rewards were offered for the apprehension of those who eluded their grasp. But those days are gone, Gumbo's citizenry is no longer ooncerned with the problem since the "ole work hoss" has been replaced by automobiles and niechanized farm machinery. All these things are well known to Judge Nolte. The dusty court records in connection with the incorporation of the association 36 years ago are in his handwriting. He was a deputy circuit clerk then. SUNDAY -- MONDAY August 25-26 San. Cent, from 2:45 p. m. -- 2Sc to 6 p. n. -- 80c after; Child. - 10c Liooit oat, Broadway!

Buck of Wilkinsburg, Pa., won't retire. He spent his birthday visiting several patients and spent several hours in his office. Since the age of eight, when he clumsily sewed six stitches to close a wound in his brother's head, Dr. Buck's paramount interest has been medical work. Today, spry and business-like, he can look back on an eventful medical career that spans 68 years. A graduate of four medical colleges-- Jefferson Medical school and Hahneman college, both of Philadelphia, Johns Hopkins of Baltimore and the University of Vienna, Austria-- Dr. Buck has practiced on two continents. In 1873 he served a period as army surgeon for the Russians in the wars with Turkey and Bulgaria. During his European travels, he met such world-famed personages as Gladstone, Bismarck, and Pope Pius IX. When only 12, he spent a week in • the White House with President Lincoln as a guest of the governor of ^Pennsylvania.

C., was the first Canadian casualty of the European war to arrive in New York. He is minus his left eye and nearly blind in his right eye. He sailed for France in January, On February 12, he said, he was sent to the front of the Maginot line with five other men to plant mines. But the Germans already had mined the area, he said, and when his party started digging an explosion killed his five companions and wounded him. The liner also brought two other demobilized Canadians--Silviet Car* ricart, 40, a St. Pierce, Miquelon, fisherman, who the government felt would be more valuable in his vocation, and Louis Abgarall, 35, a St. Laurent, Manitoba, farmer and father of nine children, discharged because officials thought he was needed more at home. Curre Plan to Build Rural America QUICK THINKING A celebrated writer, with « sion to things English, tries to avoid acquaintances of that particular nationality. One day, however, he was stopped in the street by an Englishman to whom he owed some money. The creditor wasted no words. "You rascal!" he shouted. "When are you going to pay me that money? I've been waiting four months now and will not stand it any longer! Haven't you any sense of shame?" It was a rather difficult situation for the writer ; and his reply, when it came, was for the benefit of the crowd that had gathered. "And you," said he, with affected nonchalance, "what did you reply to aU that?"

Boyd of the Massachusetts Academy of Podiatry. "Wiggle your toes, girls, if you want to increase your efficiency," the doctor said. "There is no special way to do it, just wiggle. It does for the toes what a deep breath of invigorating air does for the lungs." Dr. Boyd also pleaded with worn' en to wear lower heels to avoid "serious stomach ailments and looking like leaning 'towers of Pisa," Immediately after being nominated for President by the Republicans, Wendell L. Wlillkie resigned from the presidency of the Commonwealth Southern Corporation. He has been succeeded by 54 year old Michigan born Justin R. Whiting, former coun sel for the company. Daniel J. Evans of Van Vert, Ohio, who found a wedding ring while digging a'ditch recently, took ii home and found his mother had lost it thirty- seven years ago. ^ No Time to Play The storm was increasing in violence. Some of the deck fittings had already been swept overboard; and the captain decided that the time had come to send up a signal of distress, Hardly had the rocket burst over the ship when a solemn-faced passenger stepped up to the bridge.

Her husband had got into a fight at one of the town saloons, a bullet had lodged in his lung, and he had died soon after. The woman, a pig's foot held midway to her mouth, listened to the harrowing tale in silence. Then, falling onto her pig's foot vigorously, she said: "Jest you wait till I finish this pig's trotter, an' ye'll hear some hollerin' as is hollerin'." . So It Seems "Mother, isn't it funny that hats cost more than radios? Mother--But they don't, dear. What makes you think so?

"I think he fears that it will Involve some manual labor." -WASHINGTON.--The department of agriculture has developed plans for a broad rural construction and rehabilitation program designed to offer employment to surplus farm laborers and to strengthen the nation's resources. The plan, which has not reached the final stages and for which jb large appropriation would be necessary, is being sponsored by Dr. W. W. Alexander, farm security administrator. He suggest# * five-point program: 1. Conservation of the nation's land resources. 2. A gigantic rural housing program. 3. Reforestation and forest culture. 4. Water conservation and flood control. 5. Supplementary tasks to increase farm market facilities. Alexander told congressmen that the plan offers "a matchless opportunity for building new industrial well-being out of the fields of rural America." ' Start Only Made. Present programs have "barely made a beginning," Alexander said. One of the most challenging problems which confronts the nation is the fact that growth of population is daily "outstripping the expansion of opportunity," he said. "Its eventual solution lies in the adoption of a broad permanent program, based on an entirely new conception of land--a conception which recognizes that, although the legal title to land and forests and other resources may be in the hands of individuals, they must be preserved as the basic resources for American generations to come." Agriculture department reports show that 500,000 to 600,000 farms in the nation are so worn out that the occupants will "literally starve to death" if they continue to cultivate them. The reports said the fertility is '"nearly destroyed" on another 500,000 to 600,000 farms. Erosion Dangers Stressed. Alexander said that "the life of our nation depends" upon the halting of this erosion, whether the land be in public or private hands. There is work for many thousands of rural laborers in soil conservation work, he declared. Slum clearance in the rural areas is a vital need to protect the health of the nation, he said. He added that rural laborers could be given millions of man-days of work repairing and rebuilding farm homes. It was estimated that $3,500,000,000 could be profitably spent in that program. i A much-needed reforestation and forest culture program giving work to many thousands would be in a large degree self-supporting, Alexander said. Millions of acres of submarginal land are siyted for reforestation. Each for Himself Pat and Mike were having din ner together.

" ; -r. wr J - ' Color Shades Restricted To One Dozen in Britain LONDON.--Women will spend much less time this year matching colorful patterns for the reason they will have only 12 shades to choose from. Men, too, will have to be content with some half dozen shades of brown, blues and grays. The dyeing section of the Yorkshire woolen industry considers this reduction in colors necessary to offset the tremendous war demand for khaki, air force blue and navy blue. They are concentrating on the lighter shades for spring. West End dressmakers approve of the idea. They consider women have become color conscious with the present multitudinous choice, and that equally good effects can be obtained within a smaller range. Wyoming Cannot Agree On Mountain Spelling THERMOPOLIS, WYO.--The Big Horn basin mountain for which an irrigation project has been named is spelled "Hart" rather than "Heart," according to Tobias Borner, Thermopolis pioneer. Borner said the mountain was named for a homesteader who lived near Cody at the base of the towering peak, whose name was James Hart. The irrigation project, linked with the Seminoe, Casper-Alcova or Kendrick projects and others, will water sparse Wyoming rangelands when the entire program is completed. Borner said that Wyoming highway maps spell the mountain "heart" because it resembles a human blood pump. irJ: SPRING OFTOVP Mr. and Mrs. Donald McCafferty, son, Tomnny, are visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tom McCafferty.
