THE TRAILS OF THE EARTH.

Since the earliest days of history, back into
the time when history itself was mixed with leg
endary folk and our early forefathers traced their
kinship to the gods of Morse mythology, the An
glo-Saxon race has been the foremost to tread the
trails of the earth From the ice-bound hills and
fjords of northern Europe they spread to the
milder clnes of England and northern France,
thence to send their sons to new worlds The
early settlers in our own country pushed ever in
the lead, seeking new homes nearer to the setting
sun. And there lies the secret of the Anglo-Saxon
race they Travelled not for conquest alone but for
homes. The new lands they found they more
than conquered, they titled and cultivated and
developed. And when the time came for them to
take the last TRAIL that trail not marked on earth,
they left the land better than they found it.
We Americans nowadays can find few new
trails to tread. There is no more unknown west.
We are living in time when the last of the trail
blazers are leaving us one by one but we can see,
as can no succeeding generation, the benefit OF
their lives. Because we have lived with them
known them, loved them, we have better per-
spective than those who come after us ana we can
more fittingly do honor to whom honor is due.
In the passing of John Work, Bozeman lost a
solid and useful citizen, a good neighfOr and
fine man. Those of us who knew him best will
keenly miss his familiar figure, his kindly face
and the kindly greeting he had for everyone
But his death marks more than the passing Of a
good citizen, it is the disappearance of type of
which too few are left. Those early pioneers
the men who guided this state through all the
travails of its infancy, whose far-sighted accOmp
llshments made Montana what it is today; their
like will not be seen again. They were credit
not only to their state and nation, but to the An
}, glo-Saxon race from which they sprung. The!
trod the trails of the EARTH hesitated because
, they found the going difficult or dangerous.
We gather together to do their memories
what small honor we may, but the real reward il
not within our giving 1t comes to men who NveC
as John Work lived, to see the wilderness a gar
den, the barren prairie valley of farms AM
r homes, the old time camping ground beautiful
n modern city, and to know that these things cam
t. as the work of their hands, it comes to men VIII
Il died as John Work died, surrounded by their love
ones and content that life had given it had G
competence, happiness and honor.

GET DOWN OR WAIT.

The International Harvester companys re-
ductiOn of 10 per cent in the price of steel made
machinery which it hopes to sell next year is a
joke. Wheat has dropped from So to ST and corn
from 81. so to 40 cents. The farmer who must sell
at one-third of his war price will not rush to
ket for new machinery at 90 per cent Of the war
prices
Manufacturers and builders might as we'll
face the situation as it is. When our department
Of labor at Washington reports the average cost
of living down per cent the construction trades,
for instance, cannot stimulate building by a cut
of only 10 per cent in their wages. People simply
will not build until costs come down some more.
1t will be so with farm machinery. Farmers
will not buy until the price breaks again and
again. 1t is true that manufacturing costs have
not come down very much hence the harvester
trust can't reduce the prices very much more
than it did. It's material is only slightly cheaper
and its labor cost has not come down very much
yet It's profit of 13 per cent last year leaves only
a slight margin from which to cut prices out of
profits.
There must be buyers strike and starvation
of the market for farm machinery before its price
can get down to an equality with the value of the
dollar which the farmer receives for his goods.
The farmer being half of the people with a little
more than half of the buying power of our popu-
latiOn his enforced wait for other prices to get
down to his prices is going to make slow business
for all lines that are not yet able to get down to
normal prices. Labor adjustments, which are al
ways difficult to negotiate, and hence are defer
red until necessity enforces them, must come
down before industry can find buyer for its
wares.
Therein lies much of the trouble of the whole
scheme of things. The farmers represent half OF
the population. Farm prices went back to nor
NAL in a hurry. And farmers are going ahead
planting wheat and oats and barley this spring
the same as usual. Railroad wages, garment
worker wages, carpet weaver wages, wages with
out end among the strong unions of the country,
are still at or near what they were at the peak
of high prices. 1t is not fair and the farmer for
one is not going to stand for it. He is putting off
buying things like machinery, making improve
ments on his ranch and everything else save the
purchase of food and clothing, just as long as ne
can. In the line of food and clothing, prices are
nearer normal than in other lines mentioned and
consequently farm business can be booked for an
increase as soon as there is money in the cOun
try with which to buy.
Mr. Gary of the steel trust said that stee
would not come down, but it did, and it will come
down again before there will be much business
for the mills. The harvester trust defers its II
per cent cut until next year, but it will have tt
cut on this years goods and cut more than Il
per cent before there will be much business Il
farm machinery.

One of the reasons some brilliant

the bright fellow tries for a fash

to do better each week.
You may be particularly good in

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
BY MILDRED MARSHALL.

A gem which is rarely worn, the
sunstone, is today's talismanic gem.
1t is said to bear the same relation
to the sun that the moonstone does
to the moon, and SO the qualities
which the ancient Greeks attributed
to the sun god. Apollo, are believed
to belong to the wearer of this stone.
Great personal charm, brilliancy of
mind, and beauty are among them:
The opal is the natal stone of
those born on an anniversary OF
this day. The popular superstition
which prophesies bad luck for those
who wear opals is said to be caused
only by the wearer's lack of stead
fastness and reliability.
Green is today's color, and is said
to Danish disappointment and in
spire energy and hope.
The symbolic flower for today is
the lily, which stands for gaiety,
pleasure and happiness.
