HARDING AND HIS JOB
Great Falls Tribune

Great Falls Tribune
Most of the eastern newspapers
that supported Cox and the Demo
cratic ticket and they were more
CONSPICUOUS by reason of their ability
than their numbers, are now assur
ing the president elect, Mr.. Harding,
of their consideration and sympathy
in the hard task before him. Partic-
ularly is this true as regards national
hatreds which were Joined in the
support of Mr.. Harding, not so much
because they loved Harding or the
Republican party as because they
hated Woodrow Wilson because he
would not do what they wanted done
with reference to their old country
wishes. There were the radical Irish

interfere in the local quarrels Of
Great Britain, or to do most any
thing that would make John Bull
mad There were the pro-Germans

When the great amount of poisonous
propaganda that was persistently
spread is considered, it is remarkable
that Wolf Point stood by US as well
as she did.
"On most county candidates we
got from so to rs per cent of the
vote, which looks very good to US.
If Poplar and the other towns of the
county had done as well as the re-
suit would have been a different
story. The Culbertson-Bainville play
of course pulled a lot of our people
from Wolf Point. Naturally, if we
had a chance to put our favorite east
end town in the running a lot of our
people felt they should help do it.
They can't pull any tricks like that
two years from now. 1t will be a
straight-away race and Poplar will
find out just where she stands with
the east end farmers"

fit of Germany. There were the Ital-
ians that wanted this country to in
sist on the port of Fiume being given
to Italy. And there were other for
eign elements in the electorate which
supported Senator Harding pretty
solidly and now expect their reward
in terms of our foreign policy.
1t is entirely probable that many
of them will be as mad at Harding as
they were at Wilson when he has de-
veloped his foreign policies. The
New York Times no doubt has these
facts in mind when it says:
Now Senator Harding must turn
his thoughts to the future, and it is
a future with grave responsibilities
and serious embarrassments. 1t will
not be a small matter either to grant
or refuse the demands certain to be
made upon him by the millions who
gave him their vote for reasons alien
to Republican or American princi-
pies. They will point to the enor-
nous majorities they contributed and
demand their recompense.
Strictly within his own party,
moreover, there will be strife and

Since the election returns have be-
come known the editor has had OPP
portunitv to talk with several promi-
nent members of the League ard has
received letters from others and they
all took particular pains to make it
plain that they were satisfied that
the Wolf Point campaign managers
played absolutely square with them
and that they recognize the double
cross talk %emanating from Poplar as
put out for effect in the hope of dis
counting the advantage that Wolf
Point will plainly have with the Lea
que two years from now and to dis
tract attention from the miserable
of double engineered by
Poplar. One of these men, whose
sentiments are substantially the same
as those voiced by the others, says:
"We certainly have no complaint to
make on the vote of Wolf Point.

WHAT A POPLAR MAN SAID

mers were beginning to see that
neither of their towns could hope to
land either first or second place so
naturally a lot of them were going
to vote for Wolf Point. If we could
pull a deal that would make them
believe Bainville had a chance it
would draw a lot of votes from Wolf
Point. And then again if we could
get the Culbertson steerers to hand
the double C to their rival and throw
the great big bulk of their vote to
Poplar, it would make us pretty sure
of second with a possibility of land
ing first. 1t all sure worked out bet
ter than we ever hoped. Having the
ticket all with US made a big differ
ence in a Republican landslide year.

after all our hard work, includ-

was plain to the boys who were pull

we were going to be up against it so

over and over and found that Wolf

PROFESSOR
EXPERIENCES

Quite a number of years ago, be-
fore the world had wars or 35c sugar
or the League of Nations to worry
about, one, Professor Gardner, went
way off into the jungles of Africa to
study the ways and languages of the
various simian species that live and
propagate there. The editor hadn't

himself in a strange, though neigh
boring village amid a strange peo-
pie. 1t was his within to study their

pected to return in due time with
rich spoils to succor the hungry and
needy among them. Their simple joy
was touching to behold. 1t was very
noticeable that among the males their
emotions were manifested by com
mon signs, chiefly loud ch~attering
and great boasting. These males are
of various physical types, they do
not look alike but since their village
is no great distance from the land
known as Canada, they act more and
more alike in direct ratio to the de-
gree of their exhiliration. The pres
ence of a member of a foreign tribe
in their midst excited them still more.
They seemed greatly amused by his
presence and devoted themselves to
his entertainment. Numerous ques-
tons and comments were directed at
him but his unresponsive attitude
gave them the minimum of satisfac-
ton. Gradually they grew drowsy

repose, leaving their visitor to his
own reflections and his notebook.

A REED RETIRES

Another veteran newspaper man
has quit the field for the present at
least. According to the statements
in the last two issues of the Search
light of Culbertson, Frank S. Reed
has leased the paper which he has
conducted for nearly thirty years to
Edgar Erickson and Dale Curran.
The new proprietors got out their
initial issue last week. Dad has
certainly earned a rest and we wish
him success in whatever field he may
give his attention. We have never
had the opportunity to become init
mately acquainted with Nh. Reed,
but through the columns of the
Searchlight he has always shown him
self a good, clean fighter, a loyal sup
porter of his town and a square
shooter in whatever game he engag-
ed. Freeing himself from the editor
paign makes it appear to the casual
observer hat dad" was too square
and too white to be a party to the
miserable trick the managers of the
Culbertson campaign pulled on their
neighboring town, and it is very
much to his credit. From the stand
point of the Searchlight the affair
was handled very cleverly and bears
evidence of having been steered by
the powers that framed the whole
deal.

BANK FAVoRS BETTER SIREs
Concern at Fond du Lac, Wis, Urges
Its Patrons to Improve Quail

With the publication Of four-page
farm news leaflet, of which a current
copy is a "Duroc Sale and Pig Club
Number" bank at Fond du Lac,

devoted largely to financing farmers
who wish to acquire well-bred animals
or to become joint owners in valuable
sires..
In q letter to the United States de-
partment of agriculture the bank ag-

port being given hOg-cholera control,
pig-club work, and other activities in
which the government is active. The

ranging from the cure of cattle to the
handling of bees. An expressed pur-

To Give China a Bible.

Americans have spent $132,000 so
far to give China Bible in its own
language, the Mandarin. And just now
they are agreeing to spend $4,000
more to put the Bible into type and
plates and to print and bind an edi-
rtion. However, it Is expected that
copies will be sold to sufficient value
to pay the printing bill, and it is fur
;ther explained that these sums for ex-
peRditures are Mexican, which money
is the standard of China at this time.
1t has been found by American schol,
ars that the Chinese Mandarin is
wonderfully flexible language, capable
of expressing almost every shade OF
meaning. More than twenty-five years
has been the period of preparation,
and foremost American and Chinese
scholars have had part. The aim has
been not only to give the Chinese
people Bible but to give them one
that is pure In language and will set
the standard for the republic that
English translations set for the Eng
disappearing world. This new Bible
is for people who number more than
a fourth Of the world population.

PLAN TREATMENT OF LAMBS
Attention Attracted in Many Locali-
ties to Value of Docking and
Castrating Lambs.

The value of castration and dock
ing of buck lambs destined for mar
ket is attracting attention in many To-
calities where the practice has not
been generally followed. In BraXton
county, w. Va, for example, the farm
bureau plans a demonstration Of the
value of castration and docking by
sending to market one carload of buck
lambs that have not been thus treated,
and at the same time carload of
buck lambs that have been docked
and castrated. The prices will be
compared, and a forceful object les
son is. expected. Farmers In Gilmer
county, Of the same state, expect to
dock and castrate all their buck lambs
in the coming year.
Failure to follow this practice gen.
orally is regarded by officials of the
Bureau of Animal Industry, United
States department of agriculture, as
a weak point in agriculture, and they
recommend the practice to all farm
ers.

KILL ALL HARMFUL ANIMALS
Annual Loss Wrought by Predatory

value of farm produce and forage de-
stroyed each year by rodents is approx
imately s3OO.ee0,000. 1t is. esti-
mated that the households of this
country sustain an annual loss from

These figures sum up certain of the

life which the biological survey of the

POSITION CALLS FOR ABILITY

fairs in Jerusalem Has Been
Given Hard Task.

The office of governor Of Jerusalem,
once occupied by Pontius PLATE, is
now held by Col. Ronald Storrs, a
graduate Of Cambridge university and
son of the dean of Rochester college,
England.
His task is one to test the adminis-
trative ability Of any man. Jerusalem
is a city Of disunions, where what
ever may come Of the future, for
the moment Zionists and Arabs are
passlonately divided, and to steer a
just path between them and induce
them to join him on that path is thank
less work.
It is to that task. however, that he
chiefly devotes himself. Twice week
he has meetings Of his favorite pro-
Jerusalem society, where French, 1tal-
ians, British, Americans, rabbis, Zion
lists, leaders, commercial men Of stand
ing and others who are in any way
prominent in the life Of the city are
brought together and in the course
of debate led to see that they have
in common a single citizenship. His
motto as governor is "unify and be
friends" .e-
. Colonel Storrs was one Of the prime
movers in the establishment Of an In
dependent Arab kingdom. He is thir.
ty-eight years old.

FEW IDEAS OF REAL VALUE
Wireless TeIesraphy and Telephony
Are Still Comparatively in the
Stages Of Infancy.

GAS every one knows, 1t Is q COM
paratively simple thing to get a patent
on anything, so long as you have a
good patent attorney and are able to
incorporate few new knickknacks In
your device. But such thing as
really new idea, not to speak of a
basic one, is scarcer than the proverh-
ial hens teeth
Thus 81. Gernsback, in the Radio
Amateur News, comments on the
rarity Of anything new in wireless
telegraphy or telephony. Inventors, he
says, content themselves with making
improvements in existing devices.
These are good. but inventors should
not get the idea that the last word
has been said in basic principles. He
says some one will probably discover
a more sensitive detector than the
vacuum tube; some one will devise
better transmitter; some one will In
vent a receiver that makes use Of the
eyes instead Of the ears. "Get OF the
beaten path" he says.

USING THE SUN AS A STOVE
Device Invented by American sclen-
tlst Is Acknowledged Valuable
Fuel Saver.

Baking bread and roasting meat on
the summit of mountain without fuel
is possible by the use of device
invented by q scientist of the Smith
sonian institution, Washington, D. G.
The intensity of the suns rays is har-
messed, the unusual energy is capital
lied. and food can be cooked beyond
the line of perpetual SHOWS.
An astronomical mirror at the
Smithsonian institution is capable of
receiving and measuring the energy
of the sun rays. calculating that in
summer the solar luminary transmits
upon each acre of land energy equiv
alent to $500 horsepower.
The so-termed "solar cooker" con-
sists of half-cylinder of iron lined
with mirror glass, which catches the
rays of the sun and concentrates them
upon metal tube that is the half
cylinders axis. The tube contains oil,
which expands and becomes lighter, by
the heat as it passes through the tube.
The latter is continued to form loop
outside the half-cylinder, thus making
a sort of endless chain.
Passing through the loop, the oil
cools However, the suns heat forcing
the oil through the portion of the. tube
inside the half-cylinder, compels the
cooled oil to follow it. otherwise there
would be vacuum. So while the sun
shines there is continuous circula-
ton of oil.7 The Toop" passes through
a box which contains an oven. Heat
from the oil warns the oven and does
the desired cooking.
