Ring out the grief that saps the mind
For those that here we see no more.
Ring out the feud Of rich and poor:
Ring in redress to all mankind.

But ring the fuller minstrel in.

Develop Montana

Montana imports annually millions
Of dollars worth of butter, cheese
canned milk, eggs, ham, bacon, lard
ETC., that can easily be produced at
home. The home production OF thes
things means the retention of wealth
that is now being steadily sent abroad
In these commodities we ought to be a
producing rather than a consuming
state. We cught to supply these home
markets and reap the reward. Prices
for provisions in Montana are high as
compared with other states, while the
cost of production here is low. A very
important economic lesson for us tc
learn, therefore, is to take care of the
home market.
There are wonderful possibilities OF
developing the home market and con
suming capacity of the state. We have
unbounded resources in the way q
power that have scarcely begun to be
developed. The potentiaiities of oui
rivers to drive the wheels of mills an,
factories and electric cars are almos

day, however. Corral remained on the
ticket, and Felix was told to go back
to his duties and behave himself.
AS Felix Diaz is the son Of Porfirio's
brother, the affection which his uncle
has always shown for him easily ex-
planned. Felix Diaz the elder was
Porfirio's only brother and the baby OF
the family and very much beloved by
him. He was many years the Junior.
and Porfirio had always been as ia
ther to him. When the father Of the
brothers died Porfirio and Felix were
very young, and it fell to the lot of
the elder boy to become the support of
his mother and her young family.
AS Porfirio advanced he carried Felix
with him. Felix married a wealthy
Mexican lady, a native of Oaxaca, and
the present General Felix Diaz Is his
eldest child and only son. The lat
ter's father died while in his thirties.
The uncle has always been very par
tial to young Felix" as he is still call
ed. After his fathers death the presi-
dent adopted the son and spared no
money on his education. He entered
him as a cadet at Chapultepec, and
upon his graduation appointed him an
officer of one of the crack regiments
of the city. While Felix Diaz has new
er seen much active service. he has
When president Diaz always pushed
Felix to the front in preference to his
own son. The latter. Porhrio Diaz.
Jr., was educated as a civil engineer
In the United States, and has been
connected with many Of the engineer
ing enterprises carried out by his IA
ther. He was seen riding, driving, walk
ing with his father, but was never
heard of in any public way, while, on
the contrary, Felix Diaz was always in
the eyes Of the public. He held many
positions In the municipal government,
Including that of chief of police Of
Mexico City, and is one Of the best
known men in Mexico.
When President Diaz fed from Mex
leo Felix Diaz was greatly criticised
for his apparent espousal Of the Ma
dero cause, but those who knew the
strain which ran through him shook
their heads.
Followers of President Madero de-
clare that the Diaz revolt, which ended
in the capture Of its leader, was ac-
tually Madero trap. set and sprung
by the president himself. Diaz had
long been suspected Of intriguing
against the government. To catch him
at his own game Madero permitted
him apparently to go about Vera Cruz
without being spied upon. but as a
matter OF fact administration service
men were his constant advisers. Dia2
was led to believe that the major part
