WOLVES WISER THAN FOXES
Stefansson Pays Tribute to Their
Unique Intelligence.

The wisdom of the fox is not so evil
dent as the saving is widespread but the
more / see of wolves the more respect I
have for their intelligence which is
unique among the nonhuman inhabitants
Of the north.
The second day on the new land I met
wolf that came running toward we at
first, for he could not fail to mistake
me at a distance for caribou but when
he got within two hundred yards and
could see more plainly he realized my
strangeness md, what is truly remark
able, inferred that | might be danger
Gus. This wolf could certainly never have
seen human before, and the only dark
thing Of size comparable to mine that
he had ever seen must have been either
a caribou or muskox. The caribou are
his prey, and while he seldom kills
muskox. he at least has no reason to
fear that exceptionally clumsy and slow
moving animal.
But at two hundred yards this wolf
paused and. after a good look that sat
isfied him that | was something new in
his experience, commenced to circle
me at that distance to get my wind.
When he got it it took him but sniff
or two and he was off at top speed The
similarly unsophsticated foxes Of this
region will commonly run within ten or
fifteen yards Of you and follow you
around for miles barking like toy dog
following pedestrian-Vi Vilhjalmur Stef-

MORE PRODUCTION
WOULD BE REMEDY
That Is Solution Offered by Fl
nancial Review for the Liv-
ing Cost Problem.

Greater production as the solution to
the question of excessive living costs
is the suggestion of the September issue
of the Monthly Financial Review issued
monthly by the American Bank & Trust
company. Here is an extract from the
discussion Of general conditions in the
Review:
''On August / the level Of commod-
ity prices stood at the highest point
on record. AS result Of the general ef-
fort against high costs there was re-
cession noted, declines exceeding ad-
vances. Living costs assume almost a
tragic aspect in some localities where
beef steak commands from 60 to 50 cents
a pound and butter 10 to so cents while
eggs cannot be had for less than so
cents. The expedicnt Of raising wages
has been tried again and again, with
only the recurrent result of returning
to the point in the circle last left Many
now urge that only increased production
will bring the remedy. 1t seems reason
ably clear that so long as there is but
one pound Of beef and four bidding for
it, the price is likely to be higher than
if there were three pounds TO divide
among the four who wanted the beef
SO it IS true as to pork and eggs and
wool and wheat-more of it ought to
help bring q real solution. OF course
tification by producing ample supply Of
the various things needed rests with the
people and can not be brough through
agency of law. Regulation of price by
law has been attempted for centuries and
invariably it has failed, even though
some temporary results may have ac-
crued. The natural law Of supply and de-
mand ultimately determines the price
level and ample or efficient productions

pie the prices soften, if deficient prices
are high. There were numerous labor
controversies in August. Chicago and
New York had their transportation lines
tied up. Boston's police threatened to
strike for more pay. Railway employees
in many sections also quit work over
wage controversies. August was month
of unrest
Under the head Of Montana conditions
the Review says among other things:
-Four states Of the northwest grew
a grain crop in 1918 worth S1.154 ,SO2.-
600, according to Federal Reserve bank
The fonr states are Minnesota.
North Dakota, South Dakota and Mon
tana. The first three will this year have
a crop worth over billion In normal
years these four states are considered
the principal grail growing sections Of
the HdtIbu. III Hit group there are
100000 acres adapted to growing
wheat.
why should there be unproductive
land where reasonable cost would mean
insured fertility? Near Fort Benton
certain farmers are practicing good bust
ness by installing electric pumping irri

engines. The last season has been the
force needed to promote such work and
much development is now being planned"

SHIP FULL CARS
DIRECTOR URGES
Regional Railroad Head Asks
Shippers to Help Prevent
Car Shortage.

Heavier loading of box cars is urged
by the railroad administration as a
means of overcoming the present car
shortage. Advice from j. H. Ashton,
regional director for tbs territory, to
Montana officials is that only with this
assistance can the administration meet
the demand for equipment the country
over. Indications are that serious car
shortage is confronting the administra-
ton and shippers are requested to rec
ognize the fact that they can materially
reduce this shortage by loading cars to
the maximum.
Some shippers, it is pointed out BY
Mr.. Ashton, are cooperating along de-
sired lines. but since certain rules of
the food administration were suspended
others appear to have relaxed their eff
forts. Shippers Of flour and mill products
are named by the director as being es-
pecially slow in recognizing the neces-
sty Of loading cars to full capacity
Traffic representatives., says Di-
rector Ashton in a letter to Montana
officials, should make it point to ex-
plain to shippers that cooperation to
the fullest extent in the heavier load
ing of cars will materially assist them
in obtaining equipment for future bus
mess. By putting the matter up to them
i'll this light it is hoped that some of
them who have been lukewarm on the
proposition of heavier loading will renew
their efforts along this line
Director Ashton asserts that if ship
pers were loading cars as heavy now as
one. year ago the car shortage would be
entirely eliminated. In table prepared
for the use Of officials it is shown
that i0-ton wheat cars, on an average,
now only contain 81 tons when sent out,
while a decrease Of five tons on 35-ton
cars Of grain products has occurred.
Forty-three- ton coal cars have decreas-
Cd to 80 tons; cotton lumber cars to 26
tons and 33ton steel cars at 30 tons,
Shippers are alos asked to assist in
reducing the car shortage by seeing to it
that loading and unloading is promptly
done.

What sort of men do the movies ike

farce, do not seem to require to be
made of India rubber, capable Of tying
the features in a knot. but there are un-
doubtedly types of face which seems to
60 with certain types Of acting The
Western face is a type apart
It is the cowboy visage, with long,
rakish features, narrow, steely eyes,
which CLINT like the eyes of tiger when
things are in parlous condition, but
which can smile divinely when the
heroine begins to show its love with
them, or when a little child prances on
to the screen.
Then of course. there are the stock
Sherlock Holmes features. which are a
sine qua non for the seuth hound who
tracks the thugs to their lair. A jolly.
fat face seems always popular on the
films, seeing that several men Of re-
markable avoirdupois have made big
fortunes out Of their bulk and their
smile.
But the man with manly type of

film-the man with strong if rathn,
rugged features which have character
