LOCAL BANKS MAKE
GOOD SHOWING

DESPITE the old cry that usually
goes the rounds In most all eommu-
mites that there is no money in the
country, and the farmers are broke, /"
we note that Montpelier banks are
enjoying an unusual growth in point
Of total volume OF business. espec
tally for this time of the year.
When banks in a farming commu-
nifty such as Bear Lake county can
show a steady, conservative growth
such as our local banks are showing
at this season of the year when the
farmers are spending their money
rather than receiving, it certainly
looks good, and a glance at the
statements of the First National
and the Bank OF Montpelier, which
appeared in this paper last week and
this, should dispel the idea from ev-
cry individuals mind that we are ex-
periencing hard times"
1t is true that the farmers and
stockmen have suffered great deal
this spring, due to the late season
and the extreme shortage of feed
It is regrettable that so much hay ID
shipped out of Bear Lake county in
the fall and winter that our own live
stock is placed in jeopardy through
this course, but this will doubtlesi
be overcome another season, because
with the experience of the pas,
spring we believe that the farmerI
OF Bear Lake county will guard theil
own interests more thoughtfully ant
see to it that sufficient feed is stored
away In the fall to care for the STOCK
of the county in such emergencies al
the past winter.

ANENT INVESTMENTS

MANY persons with few hun

looking around for opportunities for
investment. There are thousands of
such opportunities, but many of them
are far from safe.
The daily press is full of offers of
mining stocks, municipal and build

Itionably safe and desirable, while
others are far from it. The difficult

Higher Offer
Made for Bonds

A representative Of the Bullock
Bonding company came to Montpelier
yesterday and met with the city
council at 1880 at special meeting
and made a bid on the city paving
bonds which is the best received up
to the present time.
This firm bid s93.50 for the spe-
cial improvement bonds bearing z
per cent interest and $500 for the
general obligation bonds bearing
per cent. This bid is said by people
informed in the matter to be fairly
good bid considering the condition of
the bond market at present. The
council did not accept the bid yester-
day, but likely will give the propo-
sition further consideration.

LIKE EACH OTHERS COMPANY
Stones Found in Nevada Seem to Have
. Distinct Aversion TO Being
Separated.

In Nevada are found curious min
eral specimens known as 'soclable
stones" No better name could be
given them, since when a few are dis
tributed over level floor two or three
feet apart they will begin to move
toward one another to a common CEN
ter with an alacrity that Is ludicrous{
Campers first noticed these stones
They had used wrapping paper for d
tablecloth and weighted the corners
with some of the stones spread over
the level top of a boulder. A few mo-
Inents later one of the men noticed
that the paper was tapping In the
breeze and that the four or five stones
were huddled in group in the middle
of the paper like a nest full of eggs,
He thought the wind was responsible,
Strengthened them and added more
stones.
The next time he looked around the
stones were back in the heap again.
Once more he replaced the stones and
sat down to watch them. They began
to roll and hitch along toward one an
other again until they were in pile.

EDUCATING THE PUBLIC.

Certain members of congress have
been stirring up mess in Washing
ton over what they term waste OF
public funds in the publication of
bulletins by the various departments
and bureaus.
Not having seen many of the said
bulletins, we are unable TO pass iudg-
ment upon their value as educational
mediums. And we presume the edu-
cation of the public is the primary
object of their publication.
But If the government or congress
is DESTROYS of disseminating useful
information relative to agriculture,
health, science, or other subjects,
there is one way. and only one, of
reaching the people who pay the bill.
That way is to use the columns of
the public press and pay the publish
ers a fair price for the space con-
sumed.
Practically every citizen of normal
intelligence reads the newspapers.
This is a newspaper age and the
people are lost without them.
Government information dissent
mated in this manner would reach the
great mass of the people, those for
whom it Is compiled at great expense
and would be put to practical pur-
pose in the extension of knowledge
and the greatest development OF the
country. To educate the public you
must first reach the public, and there
is no arm so long or voice so loud
as that of the press.

When Delnetra Vaka, author of
"Haremlik' and in the Shadow of
Islam" first came to America she was
governess for a year to the two little
grandsons of j. Fenimore Cooper.
The children had been brought up
with the utmost reverence for their

worlds best literature was the Off

Something was said in the elder

looked up at his governess with q
startled face.
"Who wrote the Bible?" he demand

she could about the various books, and

PLANT POTATOES

WE believe that the wise farmer
In this valley will do we'll to plant to
the limit potatoes for next falls har-
vest. With the scarcity Of this inn
portant article of food at the present
time, and with the excessive prices
prevailing on available supplies, it
should certainly be an incentive to
land owners to raise good crop OF
potatoes.
We here in Montpelier should get
busy also and plant gardens, and
moro particularly potatoes. Tit val
ley will be completely cleaned out OF
potatoes before many weeks, and IL
will be long time before new pota-
toes will be ON the market. And
when they do come they win be very
high.
Therefore the little backyard po-
tato patch will come in mighty han
dy. and the money that will be saved
to the individuals planting gardens
will be we'll worth the energy.

Taxpayers Say No.

n, At q meeting of the city council
and business men and taxpayers last
night it was decided that the city's
paving bonds should not be sold at
bids that have been made to date.
Mayor Hoff announced at the begin
ming of the meeting that better Of
fer for the purchase of the bonds
had been received and explained that
the purpose OF the meeting was to
get the sentiments of the citizens be-
fore taking action in the matter. A
Nengthy discussion followed in which
expressions were made both for and
against the sale of the bonds below
par, and vote taken was in favor
Of turning down all offers that would
mean loss to the city.
The discussion grew warm in spots
but serious clashes we're averted and
tho meeting ended in good feelings
all around.
