COLORS AND NERVES.
Red and Yellow Are Said to Have a
Stimulating Effect

That colors have profound psyche
logical effect on human beings is a
fact that should be emphasized. Used
in small quantities, either in the cloth
ing or in household decoration, the
color red, for instance, is most stimu
lating, both in the way of helping to
overcome depression and quickening
the intellectual processes. But when
used in any amount it tends to over
stimulation, with resultant nerve
strain. According to leading Eng
lish authority who has made care

there are some people so constituted
that they become violently excited, fall

The same effect has been noted from
yellow. In one instance, the case of
a man operated on at the age Of thir-
ty years for congenital cataract, it Is
recorded that 1.-The first time he saw
yellow he became so sick that he
thought he would vomit." And that
yellow has nerve stimulating effect
fully comparable with that Of red is
curiously evidenced by the statement
of friend of mine, shrewd observer,
who says

through the development of our apri-
cultural resources and the settlement

our cities and towns and thereby can
make Of Montana one Of the richest
and greatest Of the commemorative
Of the union, but 10 the people Of the
country know all this?
The trutl, is good enough. Let us
state our advantages in even the
most conservative Of manners and
we will be presenting something that
would appear rosy when presented by
other commemorative. We do not
have to exaggerate in telling people
Of what we have, and still we can
make IL showing which would turn
the tide of travel to Montana.
We need the work Of development.
We want to have these millions of
acres of vacant land settled by intel
ligent and Industrious farmers. and
the only way III which we can accom-
plish our desires is to properly pre-
sent our advantages to the hOmeseek-
ers and investors.
AS the Gazette has frequently urg-
ed, the best way to persuade the
country of the truth of our claims is
to send exhibits of our resources to
central points where they can be in
spected by the people. While this
would mean the expenditure of some
time, labor and money. still the re-
suits would far Overbaiance the cost.
Every dollar expended in time and
money in the furtherance of this

would be repaid many fold and the

population would in time confer Il
benefit Of millions of dollars upon

MONTANA'S OPPORTUNITY

In the central regions of the Unit

the western group Of states such as
Nebraska. the Dakotas. Colorado,
Wyoming with the notable exception
of the Big Horn basin. and the south
west, including Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. the
land has been dry and parched be-
cause O, lack of moisture. and not
only have crops been a failure but
there is Il considerable shortage of
feed for livestock upon the ranges.

ern division has suffered from eNcep-
tlonally dry weather, while from
Europe come accounts of short crops.
1t is only in the northwest, Montana

crops are assured What this Will

OF our people can appreciate.
Last year was Il season OF general

that of any other section of the coun-
try. This year is even better than
that wonderful year which stood as
the record up to the present time.
Taken year in and year out, Mon
tana's productions of farm crops has
averaged far bevond that of the rest
| of the country, and even year of
! partial drought could not reduce that
average. The fact that it's lean years
/ are better than the fat wears of some

though it would be the part of Wis
dom for our people to awaken to the
fact that Il magnificent opportunity
for the exploitation of it's resources
is presented, especially when the rest
OF the country can make 50 intifler-
ent Il show.
We know that we have one of the
greatest regions on earth and we
know that it's development is but ut
it's infancy. We know that there is
room within the limits of the Treas
ure state for hundreds If thousands
of new homes. We know that
