have contributed to the recent growth
of some German cities. The majority,
however, machine-made as other fac
tory products, are the results of an
inductrialism which tends everywhere
to urbanization. Examples of the old
Germany may yet be seen in the an
cient quarters of Munich, Nuremburg,
Frankfort and other towns, but sfor
these one may look in vain along the
boulevards and in the modern sections
of cities which have grown to great
ness in the present generation. These

Upon their stucco the paint is hardly

Outwardly Attractive.
There are two sides to the German
city-the outside and the inside. The
outside is ordinarily beautiful and
attractive. The boulevards are broad
and airy; the open places are many
and artistic; the streets are we'll
paved and are clean--usually by wom-
en- sweepers; the lighting, excellent;
the sanitation, good; cathedrals are
stately, and the older ones, at least,
picturesque; the newer public build

stiff in architectural design, are spa
cious and impressive.
Peoples Food Carefully Supervised.
The German lives much in the
open air. We find the gardens in the
modern cities, even in weather that
seems unreasonable, throhSed. There
Is much drinking of beer, but little
intoxication, much festivity, but little
boisterousness. The German is care
full though comprehensive in his eat
ing. The German city provides mu-
nicipal slaughter houses, where meat
Is prepared for sale under strict regu-
lation against faint; open air and
covered market halls, where fresh veg
etables, fish, poultry and other food
products are sold; and has a ceaseless
supervision of bakeries, diaries and
brewerieS. In Berlin and some other
cities the meat from the slaughter
house is stamped, "unbednigt tang
Hch'-free of all possible faint. The
city arranges for the sale of other
meat, not thus free from faint, but
which can be used for food without
danger to health at municipal estab-
lishments called the Fret Banke,"
where it is bought at low prices and
at certain fixed hours by the poor.
The German loves music and the
theater and so the German City pro-
vides municipal opera houses where
the best artists may be heard, often
at prices within the reach of the poor
est-paid laborer.
Cities Deal In Real Estate.
The German city provides public
baths and disinfecting establishments.
1t owns its own street cars. Berlin
is notable example, but in Berlin
heavy tax on the gross receipts Of
the street-car system is levied. 1t
buys apd holds tracts of land in and
adjacent to the city for the construc-
ton of houses for business or resi-.
cence purposes, sells or leases this
land and thus controls the growth ana
development of the city itself. This
last function of the German city is
responsible for much of the best re
suits of the municipal town planning

Variations in Fallon County have

devious means had previously es-
capped taxation: while the valua

Utilization of By-Product

The utilization of waste pro-
ducts on the farm is a problem
that requires just as careful CON

business. The often measures
the difference between profit and
loss on the annual balance sheet.
1t would be hard to estimate
how much grain is lost annually
on the farms in Montana. Why
not utilize this waste bv convert
ing it into bacon or mutton? Hogs
and sheep will pick up a large a.,
mount of grain in the ordinary,
stubble field and at the same time
materially increase the fertility
of the land. Then the labor of
caring for the animals is greatly
reduced. which means extra time
for other operations.
Again you have waste lands
that would furnish pasture for

BAKER VS.. OLIVER
Baker Admits Only Chance of
Getting County Seat is by
Attack on Oliver

We have an affidavit in our
possession from a reliable busi-
ness man, not resident Of this
county, in whose presence in the
Olive Hotel in Miles City, the
following statement was made:
That Bakers main hope Of beat
ing Eka]aka and Mr.. John Oliver
was by getting the entire north
vote by showing that Mr.. Oliver
is responsible for Mr.. Carl Skin
ner receiving the contract for
transcribing the Fallon county
records from Custer county and
for the fact that Mr.. Skinner is
now in parts unknown.
In the first place the statement
that Baker will beat Ekalaka or
Mr.. Oliver on the grounds that
Oliver is solely responsible in the
matter of Mr.. Skinner receiving
the contract for transcriblng is
ridiculous and also belitt1ing to
our board of county commissions
ers. The board is composed CT
capable men with minds Of their
own who will doubtless resent
this reflection of Baker upon their
ability. In the second place the
published records show that Mr..
Skinner's bid was the lowest and
the only one with maximum
cost guarantee. If any other
bid had been accepted Baker
would have now been putting up
ia howl about the extravaganza
of running the county with Eka-
laka the comfy seat.
Moreover we will say this much
about the threatened attack on
Mr.. Oliver. Either Baker has
given up their plans to spring
their attack on Mr.. Oliver, know
ing its falseness, or they are going
to wait until the eleventh. hour
SO that Ekalaka will have no time
to defend themselves. If the
latter is their plan we are going
to give them fair warning by re-
ferring them to Section 35 of the
Corrupt Practices Act of the
Election Laws. This section. in
brief, states that anyone attack
ing any candidates character.
morality or integrity. through
the publication of a letter, bill,
placard or circular, without Civ
ing the candidate so charged at
least fifteen days notice OF such
charge, shall be guilty of political
criminal libel and upon conviction
thereof shall be punished by i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary
for not less than one nor more
than three years.
If this is Bakers much touted
scheme of beating Ekalaka let
them hop to it.
