MI 0NTANA LAND IS
GOOD INVESTMENT
R. H. Dunn Makes Reply 10 Article Appearing in
Financial World Making Known That
Montana Land Is Good Surety

The following was written by r.
Dunn, Of Harlowton, and published
in the Financial World. 1t was
written in answer to an article that
appeared in another issue of the
same paper, claiming that Eastern
Montana lands are not a safe surety
for loans.
1t has been urged that loans in
a new country are not so stable and
that the security is less likely to
continue good, than those on lands
in an older farming country. That
the land is new and rich and when
lit has been farmed as much as in
the older countries the production
will fall. That the loan is largely
made on account of the large
yields the new lands produce and
those making the loans do not look
ahead to the time when these
lands will be producing much less
than when they are new and
strong.
At first thought, this view would
seem logical and in some sections
may be, to a degree, true. AS to
central and eastern Montana, it is
mot true, as other and more weigh
| ty factors enter in. The most im.
portant of these is that most OF the
farms of this section, at least for
the first five or six years, are not
farmed, but are the temporary
|stopping places Of people who have
taken up homcsteads that they
might secure a stake. They are
clerks, stenographers, bookkecpers,
school teachers, old men and old
women, who come out to make a
home for their children while they
are homesteading, and while here
they think they, themselves, had
as we'll take up some of Uncle Sam IS
domain. Most of these know
nothing about farming and never
will, as they arc interested only in
getting as much money as they can
from their holdings and as soon as
they can.
Such people, while good citizens
when permanent, and good neigh
bors, are mighty poor people te
make the land produce. Aside
from not knowing the farming bus
mess, they have not the money tc
get proper equipment to farm with
And yet in spite of this condition
Montana's average production Of
the staple crops is larger per acre
than all other states. And this
production is largely the work o1
| people who are not farmers. Don't
get the mistaken idea that there
are no good farmers in Montana,
for there. are some as good as one
will find anywhere.

Changed Her Mind.

MAX Sawka, a tailor. of 526 East 18th
St, has marriage license that he doesn't
know what to do with. It's only week
old. but invalid, for the reason that Fe-
lska JarosZ, seventeen years old. changed
her mind since she and Maik went smiling
together on May IS into the Marriage
License Bureau and obtained the docu-
ment.
Maik, is moreover. the maddest tailor
on the East Side. Yesterday was set for
the wedding, and the fickleness of Feliska
was not make known to Maik until an
hour before he expected to become a
bridegroom at st. Vladislaw's Roman
Catholic Church. in eth ST.
Maik rushed into lawyers Office at 81

begged the lawyer to get him a warrant
to arrest the faithless Feliska. He had
gone to the expense Of buying new dress
suit and a wedding ring, had furnished a
four-roo fat at 5j7 East 10th st. and
had invited about 500 friends TO the we'd
ding.
The lawyer told Mak that he had no
criminal redress. The advice that he
could bring civil action for $4,000 for
breach OF promise soothed him sufficiently
TO go back 10 the church and make an
explanation TO the crowd waiting there.
