will make public the entire testimony
in the Valley City deal, which testi-
mony includes that of Mr.. Hastings,
C. E. Aamoth, cashier of the national
bank, and of William Olson.
Acted on Townley's Orders.
The Hastings testimony shows that
the promoter says A. c. Townley,
president of the Nonpartisan league,
sent him and Mr.. Box to Valley City
to make the deal.
The Aamoth testimony is to the eff
feet that Mr.. Box told James Grady,
president of the national bank, and
himself, that commissions realized in
the banking deal had to be split four
ways so that "Townley and Lemke
can get their share" Mr.. Lemke has
denied sharing in the profits of the
Valley City deal, and in an interview
published in Fargo, while the news

was still protesting that the deal was

Mr.. Langer's recent statement to A.
c. Townley, challenging the latter to
prove his charges that he, LANCER, is
a "crook" and "has sold out the far

FEW BUSINESS FAILURES
IN STATE so FAR THIS YEAR

Only thirty mercantile concerns in
Montana failed the first four months
of the year, according to statistics
prepared by R. G. Dun & Co. for the
state.
Business conditions in the state are
rather quiet, and that there is not a
larger number of failures is some
what of a surprise to those who have
been watching the general trend of
business affairs.
Dun's statistics for the entire Unit
ed States, for the first four months
of 1919 also speak very favorably for
business in general. During April,
1919, there were only SAB failures in
the United States. In point of num-
Der, NO such showing as this has been
made since monthly returns were first
prepared in 1894, the nearest APP
proach to it being the 581 failures
of May, 1899. The statement is the
more noteworthy because of the in
ctltdDlS SNoiiOliI1S ANcNJNoSAA
which have followed the wars end
ing, with accompanying hesitation in
trade and industry, and it gives added
weight to the conviction that general
business rests on a solid foundation.
Contrasted with the 2.063 defaults
for more than SAB, 500 900 of April,
1915, the reductions are, of course,
very striking. From March of last
year, there was an unbroken decline
il number of failures until Decem-
Der, when a moderate raise occur
red, thus for this year the tendency
has been almost steadily downward
and the number of April insolvencies
is S6 below that of March.
Few Manufacturers Fail.
Of the SAB failures in April, invol-
wing Sll, 45O, 462 altogether, ia for
$6,1O7, III were in manufacturing
lines, 319 for s., 1905, 1861 in trading oc-
equations, and so, with liabilities OF
S2,O33,430, among agents, brokers and
other concerns not properly included
in either of the two leading classes
The manufacturing insolvencies com
pare with PAP similar reverses IN
April of 1918 and the present num-
Der is the smallest for the period
back to 1901.
1t is the trading division which
} makes an especially gratifying eN-
i hibit, not only are the failures in this
class much below the similar rever-
ses of April, 1918, and the liabilities
substantially less than in that per
iod, but the number is, in fact, the
smallest of any month of which there
is a record Among agents, brokers
ETC., the April i~nsolvencies contrast
with So in that month of 1918.

EuUALIZE SOLDIER BENEFITS.

Washington, D. Cone of the first
measures the republicans will put
through when congress again convenes
will provide for equalization of the
amounts paid to civilians who entered
the army after the war began and to
those in the regular army.
Senator William NJ. Calder of New
York, attacks the administration for
what he considers a rank injustice in
this respect, and says: "All officers
and men who went into the army and
gave their all to the country should
get the same pay on retirement for
wound disability, no matter what
branch of the service they were in.
The regular army man now receives
much more. This is wrong. There
should be no discrimination against
our citizen soldiers. The condition
these men protest against is that
which enables one man with emer-
gency training to go into the regular
army ad retire with three-quarters
pay for injuries, while a man who
entered the national army takes $50
per month. The matter should be
considered by congress and will I'M
doubtedly be taken up-by the military
affairs committees of the two houses
as soon as they meet again. 1t is in
justices like these on the part of the
present administration which caused
SO much criticism Of the war depart
ment."

Warnings of fires will be transmit

dropped over a town, the finder to
telephone them to the forest service;

Fires will be located and reported
by squares drawn on duplicate maps,
one to be in the possession of each
airplane observer and another to be

YOUNG MEN OF MONTANA
INVITED TO ATTEND Cal

Boys from Montana cities and
towns have been invited to take the
course in military physical training
to be given during July and August
at Camp Roosevelt, hear Muskegon,
Michigan, under the direction of Cap
tain f. L. Beals of the United States
army. 1t is expected that $4,000 boys,
young men and older men will under
go training there this summer.
Camp Roosevelt is intended as a
living memorial to the principles Of
military and physical fitness which
the name suggests ana it is being
established by the Chicago board of
education with the sanction and sup
port of the war department. Pri-
marily, the camp is intended for the
field training of the youths who are
members of the reserve officers
training corps of the Chicago high
schools, where more than thirteen
thousand boys are receiving military
physical instruction as a part of their
high school course In order to slim
ulate general interest in military and
physical preparedness, however, Camp

cruits will be received from all parts
of the country.

i%ation, tank and motor service, signal
ing, map making and all the kindred
details of army life. These instruc-

As a further cooperative step, the
war department will furnish equip

Although the camp is primarily fol
the boy of high school age, it will not
be limited to this single group. Boys
over II years of age will be admit
ted, and for the younger lads a spe'

be conducted in periods of two weeks.
No recruit will be accepted for less
than two weeks, although enlistment
may be made for two, four, SIX or

there will be a daily charge OF 81
for each recruit for the training, mess
privileges and other expenses. Be-
yond these charges, everything Will
be free to the recruits. The prln-
cipal expense of the camp is beng

investigating will adopt the plan and
thus give the nation the basis for a
constant supply Of officer material
in case such material should be need

PLAN HOTEL FOR GIRLS

As a result of an appeal made by
forty young business women to the
convention of the New York City Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs recently. for
aid in finding places to live, the red
Grafton will take steps Immediately to
obtain a hotel which will accommodate
at least $50 girls. This will be done

B. Glogau Is president.
I'VE will set about raising the mon
ev for the new hotel Immediately"
said Mrs. Glogau, .'beginning through
our seventy auxiliary clubs whose
members each pay 81 year for the
support of the hotel. There are about
325 clubs belonging to the federation,
and IL each would become an auxiliary
our opportunities would be greatly
broadened We shall try to reach

Mrs. Francis Taylor Patterson Is do
ing work which is unique, not only
among women but among men as well.
She is conducting the department of
photoplay writing at Columbia uni
versity, in New York City. Mrs. Pat
terson is so very youthful and at
tractive that one might take her for
an actor of photoplays instead of
professor. In defending her youth
Mrs. Patterson always quotes the word
a famous producer uttered upon meet
ing her. "a young art ought to have
a young professor to teach it."
The art is indeed young. Columbia
was the first university to realize that
the photoplay as an art form is as
dignified study as the drama or the
short story, and as useful profession
ally as mathematics or sociology. In
1914 courses in photoplay composition
were established and have been main
tanned with ever increasing regis
tration since that time.
Mrs. Patterson took up photoplay
study when, as a teacher, she discov-
cred that her pupils were far more
interested in Silas Mariner la film
than a la George Eliot. She then did
a little research work on the fascin-
ating problem and that led her to the
photoplay department at Columbia
where she has been teaching and lee
turing for the last three years. The
department has grown so rapidly that
there are now five courses offered.
In addition to these five Mrs. Patter-
son has been asked by the Home study
department of the university to give
a course in photoplay writing for the
benefit of those who cannot attend the
college lectures. More than 100 stu
dents are attending the lectures dur
ing the present term.
| columbia holds to the cultural ideal
in teaching photoplay writing rather
than the commercial" explains Mrs.
| Patterson, but tries wherever 1t is
possible to make the two compatible.
Hence 1t is that many students of the
courses have been professionally sue
cessfu1 in the motion picture field
Scenario editors, producers, actors. di-
rectors come to the university from
time to time to talk to the students
/ from the commercial angle"
The photoplay department at Co
lumbia boasts an interesting library
1t contains q collection of stills OF
photoplays already produced, scenar-
los and continuities, books that bear
upon photoplay subjects card cata-
log of the photoplay market containing
the names and the sort of material
wanted by producing companies, and

istencc OF the short stories. novels
