Is a self,supporJing state with all the necessities Of life available
to its people. 1t is much more than that, for it has such an abund-
ance of resources that it eventually cannot escape wealth II 1t de-
sired to. Gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, not to mention IRON, lime,
stucco. cement and baser mineral production are found In liberal
that the people of the state cannot by any possibility make use of
them all themselves. Montana sapphlres, from the fogo mines,
supply a large part of the world supply.
Sufficient power is already developed IN Montana to turn the
wheels of factories that could manufacture every pound of raw
material produced in the states.
These facts, with much other information about Montana, has
been made the basis of a series of IL advertisements published IN
10 Montana papers during the past three months. 1t makes us
proud of our state, and also causes us to wonder.
With all this potential wealth, why should there be hard times
in Montana? If we use a little comparison there are no hard times
in Montana at all, and never has been. By far the majority OF peo-
ole in this state are now employed at fairly remunerative wages.
There is, of course, some unemployment and some poverty, but we
are caring for that ourselves in our usual large and liberal way, and
not only that but contributing our quota to alleviate the real sui
fering and poverty in various parts of the world. Montana only
needs the awakening touch of capital that IS now crippled through
world conditions and will be one of the very first to feel the reluv-
enating influence of easy money, a condition that is now, according
to financials lights, on the way.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

The idea of using seal campaigns to finance antituberculosis
work came from Norway and Sweden, where 1T was IN use for
years. Jacob Rms told of the work in an article written for the
Outlook, which was read by Miss Emily Bissel, secretary of the
Delaware Red Cross and tuberculosis association, and she was so
impressed with the idea that she started the first campaign IN this
country. The idea was a success. Up to last year the seals bore
the emblem of the Red Cross and five per cent of the money raised
by the seals went to the Red Cross. In 1920 the Christmas Seal
bore the double red cross, the emblem of the National tuberculosis
association and the proceeds used entirely In tuberculosis work.
The sale of these seals began in 1907 and by Christmas of that
year $4,000 had been raised. Last year the receipts from sales of
the Christmas Seals totalled S., COO. 900. Montana contributing
alone SIS, TITS, all but five per cent of which was spent right in the
state in the alienation of suffering, In maintaining clinics, visiting
nurses, open air schools and in educational work dealing with the
prevention and care of tuberculosis.
Belt has received its full share of the service maintained by
the society in Cascade county during the past year. 1t purchased
literally of the seals and win do so again this year when the oppor-
tunity is given by the Boy Scouts, who have volunteered to make
the canvass.

LEAGUE CONFERENCE BREAKS UP WITHOUT
 TAKING ANY ACTION

RIVERSIDE. Calf. Dec. 10. The special session of the League of the Southwest. called to consider mat ters of flood control. irrigation and power development of the Colorado river. ended tonight without any ac tion having been taken.
 The engative outcome of the con ference was due to a demand from western states, other than California, that they be given sn equal voice in the leagues affairs, regardless of the number of delegates they sent to meetings. Delph F. Carpenter, of Denver. today was credited with ar ranging a withdrawal from partici- patton in the leagues decisions on the part of these states The with drawal developed yesterday in the course of an address by Judge Reed Holloman of New Mexico.
 The adjournment came at an hour when committee representative of each of the states was in session at tempting to arrange resolutions which could be presented to the lea gue with some hope of attaining gen eral approval. It was moved by a member from Los Angeles and though
 there were a few dissenting voices,
 many seats were vacant when the ac-
 ion was taken. It followed close on ;he heels of an unofficial report that
 the committee virtually had reached an agreement.
 Committee members said they had understood the league would remain in session until they could report and declared the adjournment probably
 would widen the breach they had | hoped to close. The future existence
 of the league is problematical. dele gates said.
 Many of those here for the meeting
 have gone to San Diego to attend a i hearing Monday before Secretary
 Fall of the interior department on the petition of residents of the Imperial
 valley that steps be taken to safe, ! guard that section from floods
