GOOD ROADS DAY
SET FOR UNE Is

June Is is Good Roads Day in Mon
tana, following the proclamation of
Governor S. V. Stewart, when all are
urged to assist in the movement. In
his proclamation he says:
"The degree of progressiveness to
which a community aspires is never
more clearly shown than by the con-
dition of that community's street and
highway system. Time was when
there vas a division of sentiment on
the question of building perfect roads,
but in these days of progress all citi-
zens have come to agree on the prop
osition that without good roads a
community, a city, or a state cannot
hope to achieve its destiny as a unit
of our great country. Highways are
all-important arteries in the body of
the nation, bringing the people closer
together and contributing tremend-
ously to the of the country.
therefore, l, S. V. Stewart, as
governor of the state of Montana, in
compliance with the statutes of the
commonwealth, do hereby designate
Tuesday, the fifteenth day of June,
1920, as Good Roads day in this state,
and request that our people contrib
ute of their labor, materials or money
toward the improvement of the high
ways of their respective communities
on that day.
"Let each of US do what in his power
lies to make the occasion one that will
impress upon our people the value of
better roads and give still greater i'm
petus to the movement for highway
improvement that has taken such firm
hold upon the state"

PEEP HOLE DRESS FASHION
IN PARIS; CHICAGO MORTIFIED

Chicago is willing to 60 a long way
in this fashion thing, but it draws
the line at the "window gowns" now
affected by the m%annequins of Paris
at the race tracks. For the benefit
of those who have not encountered the
window gown" it may be briefly de-
scribed as a garment slightly more
substantial than a cobweb, high at
the bottom and low at the top, with
liberal "peep-holes" POLITICALLY termed
"beauty windows" splashing careless
ly over the waist and skirt. These
windows" are about two inches in di-
.ameter, shaped like a diamond and
they leave practically nothing to the
imagination.
Chicago modistes also set their dain-
ty heels upon the drawn in waist, also
featured in Paris. "The French have

DINING CAR M
BURNED

Fire destroyed the dining car and
a Pullman sleeper on Northern Pa
cific train No. 2, eastbound, near the
Waco station last Thursday morning
The fire, that is presumed to have
been due to some defective wiring be-
tween cars, was first discovered by
the dining car dishwasher, who wa.
stirring around helping to start break
fast.
The fact that a full complement of
Pullman passengers was aboard, near
ly all of whom were still in their
berths, added to the excitement. The
dishwasher, upon seeing the flames
leap wildly above and around the
swiftly speeding car, grabbed frantic
ally at the bell cord, making a single
signal. He continued to hold down on
the signal cord as he shouted for help.
Half clad and unclad figures began
to tumble from the berths, seeking
safety. 1t is related that following
the cutting away of the last two cars

NASHUA BOYS IN
BAD AUTO SPILL

On Monday evening of this week
l. E. Evans, Arthur Maxwell and Ba-
sill Gordon met with a serious auto
accident when the car they were driv-
ing went over a six-foot embankment.
They had been at Frazer and were
returning home when the accident oc-
Cured. Basil was driving the car and
in attempting to slow up to turn a
corner the brakes failed to work, with
the result that he was obliged to go
over the embankment. All three were
thrown clear of the car. Arthur Max
well, who was in the back seat, was
thrown the farthest, striking on the
back of his head. He sustained one
broken rib and was otherwise bruised
up in bad shape. Basil Gordon suf-
fered a dislocated shoulder. Ira
Evans was bruised and hurt the least.
After about three hours Basil and Ira
succeeded in getting back to Frazer
where they secured another car to
bring them home.
At this time all of them are around
again but say the next time they go
to Frazer they are going in a lumber
with breaks on all four wheels,

We are nearer to Russia than we
stop to think. No man who wears a
linen collar or shirt, no woman who
uses a linen handkerchief or towel, no
home where there are linen table
cloths and napkins, but is related thru
these commonplace things to the eco
nomic problem created by the absence
of Russian flax from the markets of
the world. The absence also of Rus
sian calfskins is reflected in the price
of leather and the cost of shoes. The
bread we have eaten reflects in its
cost the absence of Russian wheat.
The chemical industries feel seriously
the lack of Russian platinum.
The blockade against Russia should
be removed for the soviet authorities
are making that blockade a prop to
sustain their falling fortunes. They
charge to the blockade all the ills
which are the results of their own in
competence and wrong doings. With
the removal of the blockade this re-
source will be taken away. Little

The most notable educational change
that has taken place during the so
years covered by the report, is in the
attendance in high schools. There are
now 100 times as many pupils enrolled
in high schools as there were in 1870.
The number then was 10000 and now
it is nearly 1000 900. The high school
attendance has increased with great
rapidity, but the new pupils have been
mostly girls.

MONTANA SCHOOLS Are
BEST IN The NATION
Study of State School Systems Gives
Montana Highest Rank in United
States.-CalifOrria Second.

The state of Montana has the best
all-round public school system in the
United States according to the re-
suits of a comparative study of state
school systems recently made public
by the Russell Sage foundation. The
report assigns second place to the
schools of California, third place to
those of Arizona, fourth place to New
Jersey and fifth to the state of Wash
ington. These findings are contained
in a report by the department of ed
ueation of the foundation. The vol
n is entitled can Index Number for
State School Systems" and the au-
thor is DR.. Leonard P. Ayres, director
Of the foundations department of ed
ueation.
Other findings of the report are that
the school system of the United States
as a while has doubled in efficiency
during the last so years, having an
index number of rating of 26 in 1870
and n Of 81 at the present time.
Since these index numbers are fig
ured on the basis Of 100, the school
system Of the country has now an ef-
fectiveness Of efficiency Of only 81
per cent, according to the report.
The figures for the individual states
% given by the foundation show that
during the past 80 years the west has
been coming up ed~ucationally while
the east has been going down. Dur
ing this time the greatest increase
among all the states has been made
By Utah while the state to which is
attributed the greatest falling off in
relative standing is Maryland. In the
east the only state that has gained
instead of losing is New Jersey. In
tho west the state that has the best
and most consistently high record is
California.
Among the interesting results of
the study is the conclusion that the
school systems of the United States
territorial possessions, such as Hawaii,
he Panama canal zone, and Porto
Rico, have higher ratings than those
Of many of the 48 states. That Of
Hawaii is reported better than those
Of the majority of American states,
Ten southern states have records poor.
er than that of Porto Rico.
The foundations educational meas.
arement is worked out by taking the
official data showing the number of
children attending school, the amount
Of training they secure, the progress
they make, the amounts expended fol-
buildings and supplies, the salaries
paid their teachers, and other similar
items, and combining these factors in
to a single index number which shows
the general standing Of efficiency OF
the school system. This method re-
sembles that used by the federal gov.
esHment in indexing the cost of living
and prices for commodities.
The foundation states that all the
results are computed from data fur
nished by the states themselves tc
the federal government and that the
records have been compiled by exactly
the same methods for all the differ.

Meeting the Demand

Meeting the demand for more efficient telephone service is
just as difficult as meeting the demand on any other public
concern--Whether it be an over-crowded grocery store, a pop
uar ticket window, a bargain counter or anything else where
supply is running short.
Conditions are unusual throughout the entire manufacturing,
mercantile and domestic world. Deficiencies in telephone
service which have been quite obvious for some time are
directly due to these abnormal conditions.
Materials are scarce--manufacturers are not able to meet the
demand--telephone supplies cannot be had--the war diverted
all activities in other directions, and they are just beginning
to come back. Until the normal level is struck, there is bound
to be shortage of supplies and this means unavoidable
deficiencies.
The telephone service is probably no better Or no worse than
the general average of the business and domestic routine.
The telephone management is in a vigorous campaign to get
its service back to the old standard of speed and accuracy.
Patience and cooperation on the part of the public will great
ly aid in bringing about mutual satisfaction.
