Of a facile writer and it is evident
that he has not been given to writ
ing real estate circulars for his ar
ticles are clear cut and merely re-
late the facts about the country. with
out the usual amount of adjectives
interjected by descriptive writer's.
The recent appeal of working men
in the east to their state legislatures
for assistance has somewhat shat
tered Blaine's remarks about Ameri-
can laborers having money to throw
at the cats. Even the best of US
will rave occasionally.
Sheriff Kyle went south on a visit
to friends and relatives. His tour
will extend through New Mexico and
Texas. He expects to be gone about
a month when he will return and re-
sumo his position as chief factotum
of law and order in Valley county.
Representative r. X. Lewis re-
turned from Helena Tuesday and his
satanic majesty" will now have to
render an account of his stewardship
to his lord and master, who has been
detained in Helena for sixty days
easing the burden of the down trod-
den laborer."
Editing a newspaper is a pleasant
business-if you like it. If it con-
tains political matter people won't
have it, and if it don't they say it is
not worth having or the editor is a
stiff and knows nothing. If, per-
chance, a complimentary notice is
given we are accused of being partial
and if we don't all hands say we are
a great hog. If we publish anything
about women men become jealous and
vice versa. If we attend church they
say it is for effect and if we don't
we are held up as atheists. If we stay
in our office and attend to our bust
ness people say we are too proud to
mingle with the other fellows and if
we go out they say we neglect our
business, etc. Properly summed up
it is a life of intermingled good and
i'll, trial and triumph, v ending
toll and beginning felicity, wherein
we work out our allotted time with
the devil" always at u elbow yell
ing more copy"

Psychological" prosperity, they will
be clothed with scholarly essays upon
the beauties Of free trade and the
glories of new freedom, and warmed
with SNUG and Sinking advice upon
efficiency.
IF our present tariff law remains
upon our statute books a period of
depression will begin in this country
within "a hours after peace is de-
clared, and within IL months after
that time we will be in a period Of
panic and poverty v before
equaled in our national experience.
Then will the people of this country
realize, what they now know, that
our prosperity of today is due to the
war in Europe. To take no step to
avert this certain disaster is treason
against the American people.
"Whatever we may think Of the
justification or the righteousness of
our actions in selling to the warning
nations certainly there is no sane
mind on all Gods footstool but what
regrets the situation that has
caused it.
II have no intention Of criticising
those who sell to the warning hosts
in Europe. That is not the question
I I'M now considering. Those who
sell them food and clothing may be-
lieve that they are performing not
only a lawful act, hut one of human
ity and mercy. Those who sell them
guns and ammunition may believe
that they are performing the great
est means of defense in the hands of
those whom they believe to be fight
ing for life, for liberty, for home,
for all that is dearest and most sac
red in human existence. Others may
think that such acts are in the high
est degree to be condemned, and be-
lieve that financial gain is the only
motive. I am not passing Judgment
upon these acts. But to boast of
gains secured from such conditions is
adhorent to all right-thinking hu-
man beings"

STATE NURSERY ISSUES
THEIR ANNUAL CATALOGUE

The State Nursery company of
Helena recently issued their '26th an
nual catalogue of seeds, plants and
trees, a booklet Of 1913 pages within
which are described practically all
the plants and trees which will grow
in Montana. This catalogue is pro-
fusely illustrated.
One might say that the State MUIR
sery catalogue is divided into four
parts. One of these cover the flow
ers which can be grown in the state,
roses, nasturtiums, asters and the
myriad of other beautiful blossoms
which annually enliven so many gar
dens and delight so many hearts. An
other section is devoted to vegetables,
all of the common crops that grow
in the back gardens of so many
homes and farms. Still another de-
partment deals with trees and in this
are listed all of the hardy varieties
which do best under the conditions
habitual in the Treasure state. And
then there is another part of the
catalogue which deals with seeds,
wheat, oats, alfalfa (of which the
State Nursery makes a speciality
and other crops Of the field. There
are many other items in the catalogue
which cannot be properly listed un-
der any of these headings. If you
are looking for a plant and it will
grow in Montana, you can find it list
ed in the State Nursery catalogue.
The State Nursery company, Mon
tana's largest seed house, has shown
a steady growth for the last 20
years, a growth that is the reward Of
efficient and honest service. This
year the company is better fixed than
ever before to care for the wants of
Montana farmers and others inter-
ested in plant propagation Their
new catalogue can be had on request.

idleness and want brought upon us,
more demands were made upon char
ity to care for the cold and hungry
than during any other nine months
in our nations history, not excepting
the days of starvation and rags under
Grover Cleveland. The war in Eu-
rope has been a calamity to the race
beyond human conception, but it has
been the industrial salvation of this
country. Our prosperity is entirely
created by hat Undesirable tragedy.
But for the war this nation would to-
day be suffering industrially beyond
imagination and description. We
would be in the midst of panic and
poverty hat would make the days of
1913 and '97 look like greatest pros
perity by comparison.
"When the millions of men nov in
the armies of Europe turn from pur-
suits of val to the pursuits of peace,
when they leave the battle fields and
return to the workshops and the mill
and the mine and the farm, what,
then, will be the effect upon our in
dustrial condition?
"When. these millions, burdened
with debt and struggling with pov-
erty, when they cease to buy from
US munitions of war, when they cease

produce and produce more cheaply
than ever before, when this mighty
host becomes competitors instead Of
customers, then we will witness an
industrial invasion of this country
that will surpass all former indus
trial wars as the present war in
Europe surpasses all others of his
tory.
ITO meet this contest we are utter
ly helpless. For this contest we are
making no preparation whatever.
Against this invasion, we have torn
down every defense, destroyed every
weapon and disarmed. and discour-
aged every soldier. q.

should be ready always to repel any
invader. Upon this question all
agree. The only reason THAT there is
any difference of opinion in this
country today upon the question of
preparedness" is because there is a
difference of opinion, as to the dan
ger of invasion. But if we knew
that we would be invaded, that about
it there could be no question Of doubt.
then certainly no American but
what would be in favor of more COM
plete preparedness without a single
day of delay. AS certain as civiliza-
ton endures, just that certain will
we suffer an industrial invasion as
soon as the struggle in Europe ends.
Upon this question there can be no
! difference of opinion. What will be
done in that day when our land is
flooded with the products of cheap
labor, when our mills and factories
must close, and our land again be-
comes filled with the idle, hungry
unemployed? If u present admin

PUTNEY.
FINE CELEBRATION.
Program for the Fourth Carried Out
Successfully With Parade, Sports,
Ball Game and PLAY.

The Fourth of July celebration
proved to be all that was promised,
with the exception of the parade,
which, owing to rush of work at this
time on account of the backward sea
son and so much rain, made it inn
possible for those who were expected
to decorate to enter into the parade.
Those who should receive special com
mendation for their efforts to make
this part of the celebration a success
were Robert Hulett and his cousin,
Miss Sarah Wood, Mrs. Henry Wood,
Mrs. c. A. Prouty and the Putney
Dramatic club. These all had attrac-
tive and prettily decorated teams and
an automobile. The procession was
headed by the Grafton band, with the
school children marching, and Henry
Phelps acting as marshal. A number
of automobiles and carriages followed
with young people on horseback.
The sports followed the parade and
were not finished until clock, when
the ball game on Harding's field took
place between Putney and East Put
ney.
\ full report of the athletic events
will appear later as the only record
has been taken out of town for a few
days.
Dinner and supper were served the
band and friends at noon and night.
Lunches and ice-cream and soda were
on sale on the grounds during the day.

club gave the play, The Colonel s
