Key. Fr. Maroney officiating.^ The deceased / has lived in and around Choteau for the past forty or 3nore years, and was well liked by all ;Who knew him. He migrated to Choteau from the 'Black Hills country in the Dakotas, coming there from New York, where he first saw the light of day. Mr. Grimes 'Was employed in the .Choteau house during his early res idence here, but for the past few years he has been making his home at the Henry Radcliffe ranch near Fairfield. l?j His has been a career of many- and varied experiences and was a'stiory teller of ability. It was not an un usual sight to,see Mr. Grimes sur rounded by a group o f ’ people when h e was relating some incident of his life in the early days. So far as is known, he has no liv ing relatives and his family history is unknown. ' FOR SALE Residence and three lots on North \Main street, $3,000. Inquire of Mrs. •Chas. Connor, Choteau. A MESSAGE-TO EMPLOYERS OF SKILLED LABOR From time to time the attention of employers of skilled labor in thej northwest has been called to the factj that employment opportunities were j wanted for veterans of the World t War who have been re-trained for new vocations by the U S. Veterans’ Bureau. It will accordingly be of interest to them to know that the United States Chamber of Commerce, the National Association of Manufactur ers, several State Federations of La bor, and many individual labor unions have passed resolutions favor ing the employment of the rehabili tated veterans. A disabled soldier cannot truly be called rehabiliated simply because he ■has been re-trained for a new voca tion. He is then rehabiliated as to new skill reQiured but he Is not re habiliated in an economic sense until a place fias beenn found for him In the industrial world. The United States Chamber of Commerce voices this idea when It says: “The Chamber calls upon its membership to cooperate to the full est possible eextent with the Veter ans’ Bureau In the placement in in dustry and commerce of disabled veterans who have undergone reha bilitation and vocational training and who now seek to take their part on an equal basis in the economic life of their country.” General compliance with this ad vice would solve one of the big prob lems confronting the Veteran's Bu reau whose employment service is charged with the responsibility of placing each retrained veteran in suitable employment, because such cooperation would absorb all \the available Unemployed veterans. JAPANESE BELIEF flclent attention. Washington, Sept. 19.—Until an adverse decision is rendered by the United States supreme court the de partment of the interior will continue to deem it unnecessary under the law for an Indian allottee to be joined by his spouse in order to make a lease legal, the single signature of the Indian wife or husband being consid ered sufficient. This ruling was made as the result ■of a decision (handed down in 1921 by \the federal district judge of the eastern Oklahoma district to the ef fect that a spouse must join in the •execution of an oil and gas lease In Oklahoma covering the homestead selection as provided in the state law. This decision was appealed to the circuit court of the eighth circuit and was affirmed in the case of the Sperry Oil & Gas company against an Indian allottee. ... . * . .. . , , RARE ANTIQUES IN PICTURE The secretary of the interior, through the attorney general, ap- Among the rare antiques Used in pealed the case to the'supreme court ¡the Paramount-Cosmopolitan produc- on the ground that through congres- J tion “When Knighthood Was in sional action and long continued cus- j Flower,” starring Marion Davies, tom it had never been necessary for j which opens at the Royal Theatre the husband or wife of a homestead j next Monday and Tuesday is a statute alldttee to join with the allottee in jof the Madonna carved in the fifteen- order o make a lease on the allot- i th century by ReinscSieider, the la ment binding and effective. !mous carver of that period.

How ever, .it is very easy to misconstrue home •/rork. Home work should not consist' of parents or friends doing the work for the child but the child must learn to be independent in his work.-. Suggestions the welcome but the; child should, through these sug gestion?, learn to master his own difficulties. Home work is not as- •k - ». i signed j to children under the 4th g^ade put above the fourth grade some work is required from each grade.’ This will require from 30 minutes to two hours of work. Of eburae it will not be necessary to use the full two hours every day- even In liie/8{h grade but the assignment should be mastered. Many children come to us and ask '•V , that, they be permitted to take their readdrsj home, and when teachers do not give their consent, the question is asked by parents, “how can we help , without their regular text book?\ When children under 4th grade' take their regular text books home' and go over the work for the next day or several pages ahead of the class, and the time for the study period comes in class room that pupil is no longer interested in the day’s lesson and is either volunteering too much .information or has time to play. However, in cases where par ents are anxious to be of assistance the teachers areo nly too glad to suggest the kind of work to be given at 'home. If there is / sufficient call we may in a near future issue of this paper publish a list of suggestive 1 books for home reading. . •.

The opportunity of the parent sianger; 3rd vice president Charlotte j comes in tihat they can interest the children in books of easy reading or extra number work similar to what they are taking each day. Of course this means that the parent will nec essarily need to see the teacher and learn what is expected of '.he child. With the above precautions and suggestions, proper food and plenty of sleep in a well ventilated room there is little chance of a child’s failure in school work. The child is entitled to a chance to make the best of his or her shcool life. But we find in making a survey of the” school that many children are out after proper hours during school nights. Children can not do their best if they are out at picture shows or any amusements after eight (8) o’clock on school nights. The school is entitled to the attention of the, pupil five days and nights of each week. When we find children sleepy, during the day and also find that they did not get to bed until ten or eleven o’clock the night before we feel that someone has neglected an ohli ¡ration. ; There are two nights a week when children may he permitted to go to ( the first show and those are Friday, and Saturday nights. There is no ( erruse for children being at the sec-; ond show as occurs quite frequently. ^ We have found from investigation’, that children who do the best in their \ work are those who are in bed a t , risht (8) or at the most not later] than nine (9) o’clock. A growing ] jj child can not get too much, sleep. We do not presume to tell parents what they shall do but if they expect th°ir children to get Ihe most out of school and be prepared physically for the future we are only too glad to present these facts as we have ob served them from year to year.
