1t is interesting to note that both the

that one of the chief requirements from
both is faithfulness. This reminded me

MONTANA CLIMATE

That the climate of Montana, from
An all year round standpoint, is su-
perior to that Of California, is the
opinion Of Ray B. Ketchum, a prom
inent banker and capitalist who has
just returned from Los Angeles where
he visited Il month. After two years
residence at Broadview, Montana, he
declares that, in his opinion, the eli
mate Of the Treasure state cannot be
excelled. Regarding opportunities,
he says they are more numerous in
Montana than in any part Of the ma
tiOn, and that he has become convinc-
ed OF this after having spent several
thousands of dollars in travelling over
the United States looking for loca-
tion. He has concluded that there is
no place equal to Montana and will
bring his household effects from Chi
cago and reside here permanently.
