cry FUNDS TO
PAYS Per CENT


The American Trust & Savings
bank has been given the contract
by the city for handling municipal
funds. In its bid the bank offered
Is per cent interest on monthly bal
ances. The First Trust & Savings
bank offered 2h per cent ON daily
balances. The bids were submit
ted on May 8.
According to Commissioner Mar
tin T. Rudgren, in charge Of the
department Of public accounts and
finance, the city is for the first time
to collect interest on municipal
funds not placed in the banks un-
der savings department regula-
tons.
Bids have been advertised for be-
fore, but none were rendered. and
although the law stipulates that
municipalities must collect interest
on all funds no collections were
made heretofore for this reason.
City funds have been looked up
by the banks the same as CONNER
cial accounts with the exception Of
what funds could be placed in the
banks for periods that would sub
3ect them to savings department
regulations.
Means Big Help.
Commissioner Rudgren said that
the obtaining Of 3 per cent interest
on monthly balances would be a big
help to the city although he could
not give an estimate on what
amount the city would gain.

gov, Hinsdale, Saco and Malta will

Chapter o. E. S., a musical program
under the direction of Frank N. Nit
chell, supt. of Poplar schools, a num-
Der of addresses on Masonic topics
with Grand Master R. ]. Hathaway,

All this by way of argument tC
show that in this world things tc
each of US are very largely what we
believe them to be and that we be-
lieve pretty much what others tell us
if it stands the test of common sense
and S This is the best argu-
ment we know of in favor of being
an optimist-believing and telling
others that the present is good and
that the future will be better-as
against lamenting that the present is
so bad and fearing that the future
will be much worse. If you feel well
and half a dozen people tell you you
look sick, fear that something may
be the matter with you destroys your
physical comfort. But if you feel
miserable and half a dozen people
insist that they never saw you look
ing better, you brace up and half the
pain is gone, perhaps all of it, be-
cause your confidence in your con-
dition is restored.
You may say that this will not
work with all things and you will be
right, but the habit of optimism al
has it valuable effect. If every
body in Montana said there was sure
to be an abundance of rain in 1921
that would not make a single drop
more or less of rain to fall, but it
would sustain and encourage a lot
of people in the meantime.
Again, if everybody in Montana
declared that better times and bet
ter prices during the next year were
a certainty it would go a long way
making better times and
prices, for business is founded on
confidence. And 50 our New Year
message is: Start 1921 on the theory

FIREMENS GOOD WORK
SAVE DIETRICH HOME

An alarm of fire, which sounded
about 1885 P. NJ. Tuesday, called
the department to the Harry Diet
rich residence in Appelgren's addi-
ton, the extreme northern part of
the city. The location is practically
out of reach of city water, SO the
fight had to be made with the chemi-
cal apparatus, but the fremen sus-
tanned their well-known reputation
and brought the fire quickly under
control before any great damage was
done.
The fire caught in the attic in a
rather difficult place to reach and
was caused by the mortar coming
away from between the bricks of the
chimney. The department had the
fire out before Mr.. Dietrich reached
home and the excellent service they
rendered and the promptness with
which they responded called forth
enthusiastic praise and thanks.
Mr.. Dietrich wishes The Herald to
publicly express his gratitude and
appreciation for the manner in which
his property vas saved. He said it
might have easily happened that his
house had burned to the ground. AS
it was only about $50 Of damage was
lone.

AN ARGUMENT FOR OPTIMISM

This is the last issue of The Her.
aid before the close of the Old Year
Many of eur readers will not see this
until Earth has completed it's 366th
revolution, and the journey around
our sun is once more begun, and, as
we say, a New Year is born. There
is no visible line to cross, no year
stone to pass. Because the instru-
ments which measure time tell us SO
and because of the appearance and
temperance of the sun a certain
number of times; and because every
body says so and the calendars so
indicate, we accept as a fact that
another years duration has passed.
Anyone who doubted it would be
classed as a crank or an IDIOT.
And so it is that a great many
things in life are merely relative and
go by comparison. We observe that
as much time has passed as is called
a year and are convinced that the
earth has swung completely around
its orbit and reached the imaginary
year-line, which is situated thus and
so relative to certain astronomical
land marks. We tell others that the
old year has ended and the new year
begun, and they believe it. If for
some reason some of us retired in
to a subterrainean cavern cut off
from the sun and all seasonal signs
and deprived of time pieces, and in
sever or ten or fifteen months people
came to US from the surface of the
earth and said that 1922 would be
ushered in in seven days we would
accept it as a fact. To us it would
be Christmas day with the New Year
only a week distant.

of the optimist-believe that things
are going to be better and thus avoid
the worry that ONE from believing
things are getting worse. This does
not mean that you lay aside habits
of industry and vigilance and trust
to luck. Cling to faith and hope but
use common sense Keep your faith
in men but expect them to look you
straight in the eye. Mix with men
and women; do not hold aloof and
brood. There are very few who are
not up against problems Of their own.
Bus we are all, here in eastern Mon
tana, far better off than many others.
We will all find a way out, often
where we do not expect it; and come
at last to realize that our optimism
was justified and not overdone.
The best wish we can make for all
is that you may enter this new span
of time, the New Year, with the hab-
it of optimism firm upon YOU. With
the self control to hold to the reason
able faith that in the future as in

outweigh the bad. With the cheer
full philosophy that helps you see the
