DOLLARS AND DUCKS

It is well for young men to know that dollars are like ducks-one fol- ows another-and though they may waddle along slowly and with some effort, they will eventually get there.
 We have young men in this com munity who are just starting out oil the road of fife, but where that road will lead is for them to say.
 They are earning few dollars now and as time progresses their earning capacity will increase. If the early accumulations are thrown to the birds it is more than likely that in later years the buzzards will roost on the graves of their ambition.
 But if their first dollars are care fully taken care of, and this lesson of thrift and frugality is fostered and encouraged, then in time the bank will become the depository of their earnings and accumulations and eventual wealth, and the eagle will soar over the heads of successful men.
 Those who waste today will squan- der tomorrow, and tomorrow is the agent of the devil.
 Keep an eye on the young men of this community, but keep both eyes on those who spend wisely but not foolishly, who are full of life and gingre but never carry it to excess, whose eyes are fixed upon the eagle and not upon the buzzard.
 Like the waddling duck, they may advance slowly, but they will get there in time.
 Conditions and prospects in the principal countries of the world justi- fy the statement that for the staple food products grown in the United States there will prevail for some time strong demand and that prices will probably continue steady and at a high level. The cotton farmer es- pecially should note that during the period of production of the 1919 crop, prices of food and feed will probably continue at a high level. Can cot ton farmer afford to grow all cotton on the basis of high cost and be fore ed to sell in the fall on the basis of a lower level of prices?

adventures, and as my attention had
been directed to some late gold dis
coveries at a new camp near Black

gold there by John Cowan and his

operations in Last Chance gulch
were very active. The same hope
full and resolute ambition then pre-
vailing has always characterized the
people of that city.
There has always been some doubt
as to the exact spot where gold was
first discovered in Last Chance gulch.
I am informed that the question was
placed in the hands of a committee
composed of members of the His
torical society and of the Society of
Montana Pioneers, and that the mat
ter has been satisfactorily decided

will soon be placed to permanently

Very little was known about Black
