Exploiting Governments

Under the above caption, appeared
the leading editorial in the October
9Th issue Of the Montana Record.
Herald, dealing with the unparalleled
graft perpetrated upon the taxpayers
OF Sheridan county by the old gang
administration in this county through
the medium of the Pioneer Press, in
which attention is called to the fact
that over $4,000 was deliberately
grated and stolen in the printing OF
ehe primary election supplies last
summer.

auditor. who is now on the payroll of
Roosevelt county, a man with a long

ers. are the people who are to blame
for this whole sale looting and rob-
sang Of the taxpayers of Sheridan
county and are the gentlemen who
viii eventually pay the penalty that
is usually dealt out to long fingered
artists and yeggs.
The day when accounts must be
paid as not far off. When that day
comes there will be weeping and wall
ing and crying out for mercy, but
IT must be remembered by all that
the prisons are full of unfortunates
who never were guilty of a fraction
of what the hooters of Sheridan coun-
ty are gully of.
The Record Herald treats the mat
ter Of the printing graft in the fol-
lowing words:
The industry of exploiting county
as well as other governments in
Montana provides rich pickings. News
from Sheridan county as to bills al
lowed and paid there by county off,
Gals indicate TIA! the taxpayers of
that section CT the commonwealth
have undergone much the same ex-
perience as the Eran, who is held up
in dark alley by some industrious
but not over scrHpulous person with 4
gun, and relised of his watch and
ether valuables. f
There is reason to believe that cleo
ton printing contracts in Sheridan
county in 1918 produced greater pro-
fits than any dry land within the
county boundaries. This printing
cost the taxpayers of that county the
neat sum of S15,517.62-possibly more
while such printing cost the taxpay-

OBTAIN VARNISH FROM TREE
China Has Source Of Valuable Supply,
But lite Poisonous Quality Limits
Its Use.

Varnish is produced In China from
a tree commonly spoken Of as the var
nish tree, but known botanically as
rhus vernicifera, which is found in
abundance in the mountains Of Hupeh,
Kweichow and Szechwan.
The varnish is takep from the tree
after 1t is about six inches in diameter
by tapping at intervals of from FIVE
to seven years. until the tree is fifty or
sixty years of age. A good-sized tree
will yield from FIVE to seven pounds
of varnish.
The natural color Of the crude var
nish as applied is black. 1t is con-
sidered the most indestructible varnish
known, One popularity Is that 1t hard
ems only In a moist atmosphere.
In China it is enormously known
among the foreign communities as
"Ningpo varnish." probably because
1t first came into contact with foreign
trade there, writes Commercial At
tache Julian Arnold from Picking.
Many persons are poisoned when
they come into even atmospheric con-
tact with this varnlsh, which fact, I'M
fortunately, reduces its trade posi-
bilities enormously. AS yet no meth
cd has been discovered whereby this
poisonous quality can be counteracted.

LIKE THE BOOK OF GENESIS
Description Of Flood of Time Of Noah
Found Among Ancient Records
Of ChaIdea.

Perhaps the tracing Of the story Of
the book Of Genesis is the true fas-
cinatlon that Mesopotamia has for
those who have time to read. The
great boats Of the Euphrates have the
identical lines of the toy ark that can
be bought In London. Where a pent
roof has been added for our purposes
the two are one In shape. A Eu-
pirates "bellum" arranged as a sick
barge Is the toy ark of childhood Is
that toy ark an authentic tradition in
its shape? 1t is almost certain to be.
The Euphrates boats are pitched In
side and out with pitch, as was that
ark. In these same bellums, some as
large as 20 tons, we may find British
batteries sailing the Euphrates and
modified menagerle could easily walk
on board. One more suggestion of
the toy shop tradition strikes the cas-
ual observer. The tribespeople from
the hills who work on the Tigrfs and
Euphrates wear high black felt hats,
a topper without brim. Are Mr..
and Mrs. Noah really correctly
dressed7
Then on top Of the discovery of the
ark comes the more serious reading
Of a parallel version of the Bible
story Of the flood found in the cunei-
form in Layards tablets from the
Royal library of Ashurabanipal at
Nineveh. copied or collected possibly
+. from Sargon's library at Accade or
Erech, older than Ashurabanipal by
perhaps 1900 years. Were the stories
OF Genesis the household stories of
Chaldea 1000 years ago2 It would
seem so. when from Babylon is un-
earthed seal with the representa-
ton of the temptation, Adam and
Eve. the serpent and the apple tree.

HAVE TO SEARCH FOR POET
nreat Mind by No Means Easy to Find,
and Some Can Never Dis
= cover Him.

There was once a small but mighty
nation, now numerous as the sands of
the seashore, and no longer so inter-
Hsting. To this nation was born a
poet. and they made him the poet Of
all time. They took him and taught
him all they knew-and they had
great things to teach; and when, at
their command, he made great dramas,
they stood at his elbow; and every
thing they gave him he gave back to
them tenfold.
England was then Shakespeare's
land.
The poet is always amongst us; the
difficulty Is how to find him he Is like
the proverbial needle in a bundle of
hay.
But one thing is certain--logicians
without love will not find him; they
leave a desolation, and call II peace
nay, they call 1t culture. Critics of
this sort will allow nothing to exist
except themselves. No; I am wrong.
There is one thing they admire more
wen than themselves-the fait ac-
compli a mundane success. - John
Butler Yeats.

Homer.

Homer is an epic poet and not a his
torian. so 1t is quite natural that he
should have exaggerated everything
with poetic license. Moreover, the
events which he describes are so mar
velous that many scholars have long
doubted the very existence of Troy
and have considered the city to be a
mere invention of the poets fancy. I
venture to hope that the civilized
world will not only not be disappoint-
cd that the city of Priam has shown
itself to be scarcely twentieth part
as large as was to be expected from
the statements Of the fliad, but that
on the contrary, 1t win accept with de-
light and enthusiasm the certainty
that nium did really exist, that a
large portion of 1t has now been
brought to light and that Homer, even
although he exaggerates. nevertheless
sings OF events that actually happened.

some early American History.

The Automobile Blue Book rakes up
some early American history. Man
kato. Mimi, in pioneer days was the
domain OF the Sioux Indians. In 1862
this tribe, according to the tour bible,
became dissatisfied with the slowness
of the government in paying their an
nuities. Taking advantage of the fact
that the Civil war had taken so many
men from the country. the Sioux In
augurated one of the bloodiest mas
sacres In the history of Indian war
fare. The Indians were ultimately
overcome by troops and imprisoned
in Mankato. However President Lin
coin commuted the sentence of all but
80. One of these died and the other
3S were hanged from one scaffold on
the levee In Mankato. The spot is
now marked by a monument.

cit is possible to produce not only
small concrete bodies with hollow cen

Of an inch in diameter. These cells
multiply rapidly by the simple proc

and the latter are at first equipped
with whiplike appendages which en-

snow Is not uncommon In the polar
regions and on high mountains. Large
tracts of green snow" produced by
another minute plant, were found by
the Charcot antarctic expedition.
But there are also humble forms of
animal life that give snow q red color.
Patches of snow Redeemed with n
microscopic rotlfer. or wheel-animal-
Guile, have been found In the Alps and
the Andes. M. Gain of the Charcot
expedition found snow Redeemed with
mites or tiny spiders.
In Germany the term "snow worm"
Is applied to the larva of beetle
often found In the snow, says a writer
In the Scientific American. Many
species Of insect are commonly found
on glaciers. The most abundant Of
these are the springtails, which hop
like miniature fieas or wriggle deity.
Mr.. #. e. Matthes Of the United
States geological survey has recently
described some curious worms that
abound on the lower parts Of the
Mount Rainier glacier. They are dark
brown, slender and about an inch in

Perhaps Snakes Couldn't Get Their.

Why are there no snakes In Ire
land? The answer is: Because
snakes had their cradle elsewhere and
couldn't cross the Irish sea. They
originated. apparently, In Asia and
spread easily over Europe. and got
across in considerable numbers into
Great Britain. by aid of now sub
merged '1and bridge" but the Irish
sea was too deep for that kind of
bridge. and so snakes and toads never
reached the Emerald isle. and few
