$4,000 BRANDS YET
To Be RE-RECORDED
BEFORE JANUARY |
Less Than 20, 900 Owners Have
Complied With New Law
Says Secretary Phillips.

Helena. Dec. 4.-Owners Of $4,000
cattle brands in Montana face the pos
sibility Of losing their exclusive right
| to the use Of these brands If they fail
to re-record them before January /.
1922. The last legislature passed a
law requiring re-registration before
that date.
When the law was approved the re-
corder of brands had 10000 protected
designs on his books, it is announced
by Secretary E. T.. Phillips Of the state
livestock commission. He believes
that half Of these were Tive" brands
in actual use by stockmen. Only
1875 have been re-recorded, leaving
Ia total of more than $4,000 to come
in if the law is to be complied with. !.
The fee for re-registration Of brand
is 25 cents, Mr.. Phillips said. If the
brand owners right is forfeited through
failure to act within the time limit, he
has then to make new record at a
cost of 50, at the same time taking
his chances with any other person who
fancies the same distinguishing mark
for his stock.
Montana brands were last re-recorded
in 1911 and 1912, two years then being
given to complete the work. The new
law SPECIFIES Lldt CuEIc Sudu NC q AC-
registration every 10 years, hereafter.
That brings the next one along in 1881.
Large numbers of stockmen are wax
ing to the limited time they have to
make re-registration, Mr.. Phillips said.
the daily average being beyond the 100
mark now. Greater activity is vital,
however, if all are to be protected
within the period prescribed in the
law

gether enough foreign money to pay
the installment of the war indernn-
ity which falls due in February Is
still in doubt, and it is the view of
experts that If she succeeds it will
be about her limit. The mark has
deprecated almost to the vanishing
point, and German trade instead Of
being stimulated has declined till
there is a heavy adverse balance.
The moment is close when the allies
must choose between the opposed
policies of wreckage and recon-
struction, and the question Of vital
Importance is which policy at the
critical moment will be uppermost
in France.
Heretofore Premier BRAND has
stood for policy of at least rela-
tive moderation, and has had to
withstand violent attacks from the
militarists who last spring demand
ed the seizure of the Ruhr coal
basin. Will he be able to Withstand
them further il Germany is obliged
to default? His record at Wash
iugton Is from this point Of view
by no means encouraging. He came
still hoping for some sort of alli-
ance with the United States; he left
unable to get from the conference
even a vote of moral solidarity with
France in the policies dimly indi-
Gated in his ominous speech. "Per-
tinaux" frankly rejoiced that the
speech showed that French policy,
hope of American support finally
abandoned, was to regain an energy
which it had lacked since the re-
placement Of Millerand by BRAND.
We shall get more light on French
policy when the premier makes his
report to parliament, but it did not
need the blunt words Of Lord Cur
zon to show that the situation in
Europe as the year draws to close
is strained and disquieting."

Sergeant at Arms
of "Aggies" Club
snecial to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Bozeman. Dec. At the meeting
of the Agricultural club Wednesday
evening r. B. Fillin gave an interest
ing talk on the livestock industry of
Montana. Mr.. Willin is connected with
the animal husbandry branch OF the
extension service. has done much
travelling over the state and knows
conditions well.
He said the main reason that Mon
tana was now suffering from business
depression is because of the hard win
ter of 1919-1920. So much money was
sent out Of the state. by the farmers
that winter, that they have not been
able to recover from the evil effects of
that year.
After the talk of the evening a short
business meeting was held and Miss
Helen Noble of Great Falls was un-
animously elected sergeant-at-arms Of
the club. Miss Noble Is the first young
lady to hold an office in this organ

Deputy Must Possess
Same Qualifications
as County Officers

Helena, Dec. A deputy clerk and
recorder of any county is required to
have the same qualifications as the
clerk and recorder, according to an
opinion rendered by the attorney gem
eral upon request Of County Attorney
C. w. Noyes of Ryegate. The ques-
ton arose, it is said. from the fact
that nonresident of the state was
appointed deputy clerk and recorder of
the county.
"In view of the previous holdings
of the attorney generals office.
and recorder is a public officer, and
of the sections of the constitutions
and statutes bearing ON the same. no
one is eligible to the office of deputy
clerk and recorder unless he has the
qualifications as to age and residence
as the clerk and recorder"

have to move away. A still more
prolific source of mortgaged homes,
however, is to be found in the easy
payment plans Of purchasing house
from the builder in these later
years. 1t is practically the same
thing as pur chase on the installment
plan. While it no doubt tends to
increase the number Of individual
homes it also tends to increase the
ratio Of mortgaged homes. In only
three states-North Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and Vermont-was there a
decrease in the percentage Of mort
gagged homes, Mississippi leading,
with a reduction from 27.e to 23.7
in the decade. Cn the other hand,
while in As Of the 68 cities Of the
United States having populations Of
100000 or more, the percentage of
homes owned increased, the per-
centage of these which were mort
gagged increased in all of the So
except four-Los Angeles, Kansas
City, Spokane and Scranton. 1t is
mostly in the cities that opportun-
ity to acquire home on the month
ly payment plan is available to the
citizen. In no country in the world
is there SO great a proportion Of
homes owned by the people living
in the home, mortgaged or unmort-
gagged. Almost half Of the twenty
five million homes Of the United
States are so owned. We may there
fore proudly assert our title to be
called the champion home owning
nation of the world. There is not
much chance for the communist to
make progress with his peculiar
evangel where nearly half the in
habitants of the land own their own
homes, and subscribe to the senti-
ment, "be it ever SO humble, there
is no place like home"

A HOME LOVING PEOPLE
THE United States census figures

ME United States census figures
L may seem to some people dry
reading, but to the understanding
mind many a story Of great interest
may be cleaned from them. Rom
ance and drama are hidden in the
dry numerals. Comedy and tragedy
are these vital facts bearing on the
happiness and progress of our race
and the whole world besides, are
there. You can find most any kind
Of story you want, if you search
among the figures Of the United
States census report.
The other day we noticed bulle-
tin issued from the census bureau
about the number of homes in the
United States. We are told that
they number some 24,35l,676.
Roughly speaking, that is one home
for every 45a people, including men,
women and children. We don't sup
pose that even a census enumerator
would call hotel a home, or a
string of box cars moving from
place to place, and many shack,
tent, or lonely cabin, is the real
home of a trapper or hunter which
would never be found by census
enumerator. Then, there is the
floating population that moves from
place to place and has no home.
Deducting these, we presume that
on the average four people live in
every American home. That is a
pretty good showing. We are not
told how many of these homes are
separate and individual houses and
how many are departments" but
no doubt, the individual home typ
ical of this country far outnumbers
the others. OF these twenty-five
million homes lin round numbers)
54.4 per cent are rented" It is
not pleasing to learn that the
rented" home is growing faster
than the owned" home. In the
previous census (19lo) the per
centage Of rented homes is slightly
less and the 1900 per centage still
less. No doubt, there is an eco
norlic reason for this. 1t largely
rests on the rapid increase Of taxa
ton and special improvement levies,
which make it cheaper to rent than
to own ones home in the opinion
of many persons.
The 1920 census also tells us that
2s.2 per cent Of the homes are own
ed free of mortgage by the people
who live in them and IT'S per cent
are owned by the people who live
in them but are mortgaged. Again,
the 1920 census shows a declining
ratio of mortgage free homes and
an increasing ratio of mortgaged
homes as compared with the two
older census returns in 1910 and
1900. There seems to be chang
ing sentiment about mortgaging the
home. In former days, only the
extreme family necessity was held
to justify putting mortgage on
the family home. Now it is Deem
ed a lighter matter. Many homes
have been mortgagcd in recent years
to purchase motor car or some
other luxury. Some people also
deem it good business policy to
carry fair sized mortgage on their
home because it makes it easier to
sell their equity in it in case they
