in business, based upon your expert
ences?" Will was asked. Here is his
answer: .,,-es,
Bulldog tenacity. Honesty, based
on the square deal plan. Always try
to give just little more than you
promise. Pay close attention to bust
ness. Pare down detail work to the
minimum. Carry only quality goods.
Satisfy every customer. Use conser-
vative methods. Concentrate on one
business. Make no wildcat invest
ments. Treat all customers with
courtesy. And, above all, remem-
Der service is the biggest word in
the business world
Van died several years ago, but
will be remembered by all lovers of
music in Butte and many other Sec
tions of the state as one of the most
soulful artists the state has ever had.
Will is president and manager of the

Fred is secretary. Al is manager of

ter retired from the firm several
years ago, Will buying his stock.

That the railroads traversing Mon
tana are getting ready to get into az
ricultural development work on a big
scale in this state is evidenced by the
attitude of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific. The president OF
the latter road. Charles Donnelly. in
recent statement, said that plans
were under way by the Northern Pa
cific to aid and encourage land devel-
opment in the territory tributary to
that railway. while the important an
ncuncement was made last week that
the Great Northern, in conformity
with it's policy for agricultural de-
velopment of lands in Montana, APP
pointed Charles D. Greenfield of
Helena as its agricultural develop
ment agent for Montana.
After completing four years SER
vice as commissioner of agriculture
and publicity, Greenfield is particul-
arly we'll qualified to undertake the
work ahead OF him. The head of the
Great Northern agricultural depart
ment is E. c. Leedy of st. Paul, who
announces that the railroad is pre-
pairing to take up the task of aiding
in developing Montana farm lands
where it left off when the war put
an end temporarily to such activities.
In Montana Greenfield will coop

cultural college. county agents, COM

high pressure salesman to assist in

caused considerable excitement in
the camp at the time, and as the
Butte population was in that day in

offer the opportunity, there was soon
lively betting on whether or not the

PRESERVING EGGS WITH
LIME AND WATER GLASS
FOR HOME USE

Tests which involve the use of
water glass and limewater for the
preservation of eggs for home use
have been carried on by the United
States department of agriculture.
They show that either water glass or
limewater will preserve eggs success
fully, and that while water glass is
usually easiest to use and ordinarily
gives better results, limewater is a
much cheaper preservative. 1t was
found that limewater without salt
gave slightly better results as a pre-
servative than where salt was used.
Air-slaked lime did not give as sat
isfactory results as where lump lime
was tested. Galvanized receptacles
were used successfully for limewater
tests; the pals were thoroughly coat
ed with melted paraffin previous to
their use with the solution. Tests in
which eggs were wrapped in tin foil
and wax paper and kept in an open
cellar or room were not at all satis-
factory Although the tin foil reduc-
ed evaporation to negligible
quantity, the eggs developed extreme
mustiness within short time.

Republican Congressman Scores Tax
Shifting Bill,


The following extract from the
speech of Representative Edward
Voight (Rep., Wis., who with forty
nine other republicans voted to recon-
NIT the tax revision bill in the house,
is fairly representative of the senti-
ment of republicans in many parts of
the United States, especially in the
west:
Nov, then, we have the enormous
war debt, and for the present at least
we must raise at least four billions
a year to keep the government going,
and that raises the question, How
should this money be collected? In
fairness to all the people of this
country, Who should pay? l recognize
there is one principal way to collect
taxes, and that is TO make every man
pay according to his ability, and that
ability can best be measured by his
net income. OF course, we derive
some revenue from the tariff, and
minor amounts from other sources,
the collection of which may be proper
and expedient, but what | mean to
say is that in my judgment there is
only one fair way for the government
to raise the bulk Of its revenue, and
that is by properly graded income
tax. Let him pay who makes the
money, and the more he makes the
higher should be his tax.
"The bill before US does not meet
these requirements, and therefore
am going to vote against il. / cannot
vote for bill which appears to me
to be unfair to the great mass of the
American people. This bill lifts the
burden from the very rich individuals
and corporations and gives no CORES
poniing benefit to those less favor
ably situated. In fact, when the total
burden imposed by this bill Is con-
sidered. the proportion of the whole
tax to be paid by the less wealthy is
actually increased OF course, the bill
is hailed with joy by Big Business,
by the trusts, and the miIlionaires and
multimillionaires.-

AIR ROUTE OVER12O
MILES or MOUNTAINS.
By LEE WILLIAM BARKER. I

At Arco, which is located at the
edge of the mountains bordering the
Snake river plains, we set out straight
north up valley perhaps ten miles
wide, the way growing more and
more into the aspect of winter in
green, yellow and gold as we advanced
in the activity. After passing over
perhaps fifty miles our course to Sal
mon lay slightly to the right or east,
when all at once we were fairly over
the silvery thread of the stream of the
river that gave its name to the city.
The mountains on all sides tower hun
dreds Of feet above these raging
waters for the next hundred miles,
which would complete our fight for
the day. Upon bare spot high up we
were enabled to discover q herd OF
wild animals, probably deer or elk.
The roar of our motor as well as the
shadows of our wings caused the ami
mails to scamper out of sight at the
appearance of monster they never
saw before in all their lives.
The river passage enabled US to gel
such a view Of Williams lake as coulC
be afforded in no other way, for thi:
magnificent body Of water lies twt
thousand feet above and nearly paral
llel to the river, perfect gem in 1t,
setting of green high up in the noun
!tains. Around the lake are walls al
most perpendicular except in place,
where the climb is easy into the bor
dering timber on the steep side Of tn.
mountain. After circling for som,
time in sight of this beauty spot W,
finally lost 1t from view in the descent
down the river and in few minute,
we were spying out suitable landinJ
place, which we found two miles soutl
LOT Salmosi. II took an hour and forty
minutes to come all the way from
Arco, distance of 100 miles in thi,
air line. Twenty five Of our O-gallol
lgas supply was consumed in the jour
lney.
