BUILDING FOR ALL TIME

Shingles made of copper are now a commercial product OF the
smelters at Anaconda, and from figures given out governed by
present market prices, the cost of this everlasting roofing material
is not so great as one would at first infer. According TO the state
ment of Harold Blake, representative of the foundry department
of the Washoe smelter, copper shingles now cost about Twice as
much as the ordinary shlngie. 1t compares favoraoiy. IN Irse
cost with asbestos, slate or the tile roofing, and in wearing quail
flies has them all beat. In case of fire the salvage value OF copper
roofing exceeds all others. There are copper roofs now In exist
ence that have been in place for nearly 100 years and are appar-
emily good for another hundred.
Summarizing the advantages of the copper shlngie, the man
ufacturers put forth the claim that the first cost is cheaper than
most other roofing material; they weigh considerably less; they
have a salvage value of so per cent; as against a complete loss with
other roofing materials they are much more easily and quickly
laid they require no skill to lay them they are much less bulky to
handle; they compare favorably with the artistic qualities of
other materials; they are absolutely waterproof; they greatly re-
duce the fire hazard they require no upkeep cost; ad they viii
outwear any other roofing material which Is at present on the
market. Another selling point not mentioned by the manufac-
lection against lightning. This has been proven by the substi-
tuition of a copper roof at the observatory ON the summit OF
Mount Blanc, after the wooden roofs of that building had been des-
troyed seversf times by lightning.

THE NEW YEAR

January one is an arbitrary mark upon a manlnade calendar
and a very faulty one, if we are to believe the wouldbe calendar
reformers-which is supposed to herald the coming of a brighter
future. At least, with the beginning of a new year we always like
to look ahead with hope. We always want things better than
they have been. We want to be happier next year, and more pros
porous. in fact, it is extremely doubtful if we are ever in a state
perfect satisfaction or in reality ever hope to be. Nevertheless, it
is customary for hope TO revive in the most pessimistic at this
time of year, and it is quite customary also to saddle this hope
with a load of good resolutions which must be rapidly unseated
if hope is expected to arrive at the winning post. 1t may be re-
marked that the good resolutions generally land early in the ditch
while hope gallops under the wire fresh enough for another start
in the next new year stakes.
We can recall no period in the history of Montana wherein
Hope" had a better chance to get into the money" than the
present. Everything points to a better future in this state. Con-
ditiens of the past year have settled many veXfng problems and
removed some disturbing elements. Adversely has taught many
valuable lessons, not the least of which is that capital and labor
must work in harmony if either is to exist. "The square deal
is discovered to be a truism, rather than a mere catch phrase de-
signed for the other fellows use. If each and every one of us will
take this motto and apply it conscientiously, there will be no need
of going further in the way of good resolutions for the New Year.
If we resolve to give everybody, including ourselves, a square
deal" the ground appears to be pretty well covered.

THE FOOL AMI HIS CAR

What this country appears to need most is an automobile built
strong enough to meet a locomotive successfully on the grade cross
ing. This idea is brought to mind by reading a recent report of
automobile accidents put out by the Southern Pacific railroad COM
pany. The report covers only the past nine months and the record
is for accidents that occurred upon it's own lines. The list gives
&c people killed, 1870 injured, and 586 automobiles reduced to the
class of used" cars, most of them very badly used"
Not all of the people killed or injured were fools, but it is
pretty safe to say that the one who sat behind the wheel of each
one of these five hundred odd cars, possessed attributes that
made them candidates for that classification.
Hundreds of accidents have been avoided by the watchful-
ness of drivers-no, you're wrong-not of the cars, but of the loco
motives. A railroad engineer is the result of long years of train
ing, both mechanical, mental and physical, while crippes, both
mental and physical, incompetents irresponsibles and imbeciles are
permitted to flrt with death and assume responsibility for the
safety of others, in countless hordes ON the highways of the ma
ton. When we observe the ways of a large percentage of those
intrusted with the driving of automobiles, our wonder is aroused
in reading of the report quoted above, in that the casualties are
so few.

Cascade Tax Levy
Among Low Ones

Information received from 4s eoun-
ties inthe state relative to the amounts
of the various tax ievies has confirmed
County Treasurer Fred C. Andretta's
belief that Cascade county has one of
the lowest levies for strictly county
purposes in the state. Seven counties.
according to Mr.. Andretta, have levies
ranging between 10 and ID mills, and
Cascade county with a levy of 1925
ranks fourth from the lowest, which is
f2.5. jefferson county has the lowest
levy for county purposes. The county
having the highest is Golden Valley
county, n of the newest in the state.
The total county levy, which in
cludes those made for county, general
school, high school and road purposes
in Cascade county is 26.75 mills, which
is seventh among the eight counties
having levies under 81 mills. The
seven couties having a lower total levy
than Cascade county are Deer Lodge
county with 1925; Jefferson county
with 26.5; Meagher county with 25.4;
Pondera county with rs; Powell coun-
ty with PCS; Prairie county with %
and Wheatland with 26.
The counties of Broadwater, Carbon,
Glacier, Lincoln. Madison, McCone,
Powder River and Ravalli did not sup
ply Treasurer Andretta with any in
concerning the amount of
the levies.
The total levies of other counties Of
the state range from q mills up to

had been named by the court in ac-
cordance with the county division law
to settle the indebtedness as between
counties In the final analysis Jud-
it'll Basin county was found to owe
Cascade county $4,000. The new
county, however, through its member
ef-the commission, held that the two
new concrete bridges over the Mis-
souri, river in Great Falls as far as
then constructed, should be charged
up to Cascade county, the amount in
volved being $248, 226, as county prop
erty. The other two commissioners.
B.-P. McNair of Great Falls, and r. G..
Poland of Lewistown. held that the
bridges were public property, belong
ing TO the public as do the roads Of
the county, and could not be charged
as an asset against the county as
county property.
The matter was brought before
Judge Leslie in the Cascade county
district court and order to quash
contention OF Judith Basin county
was issued. From this order an APP
peal was taken, Judge Leslie was sus-
tanned and the two big bridges, nor
any part of them, are not to be
against Cascade county.

The present week will witness the departure of the first con-
signment of $40 000, 900 worth of relief for the starving victims
of SOVIET rule in Russia. an appropriation of that amount having
been made by congress last Thursday and approved by President
Harding. Coincident with this generous act of a capitalistie ma
ton, the press makes public the mouthy offerings of the motor
ious Bill Dunn, who claims Montana as his home, but promptly
deserted the ship when the closing of the Butte mines cut off his
graft on the working men, and sought q haven in more prosperous
communities. He is credited with saying at a Sunday meeting
in New York of the new radical party sailing under the name of
the Workers" that the Russian revolution would ultimately
achieve success, and that communism will eventually spread
throughout the world"
We like to visualize Montana under SOVIET rule with Mr..
Dunn as dictator, for instance. 1t would surely be some pleasant
place to live.

~NON-TAxABLE SECURITIES

A custom of making the bonds of our national, state and local
governments non-taxable has become thoroughly established
in this country. At the present time it is having the very un.
Fortunate result of diverting into such securities immense
volumes of funds which would otherwise be invested In produc-
five enterprises which would provide employment. The demand
for such securities is also promoting extravaganza, especially in
municipalities which find it easy to borrow. 1t is the evident
opinion Of President Harding that this custom is 50 thoroughly
1stabaished that it cannot be changed except by amendment to
tho national constitution and accordingly ne suggests such an
e~mendneut In his message to congress. The principle of equal

Sell Albion Normal Buildings

The state board of education at
its meeting directed the auditor OF
the board to advertise for sealed
proposals for the purchase of the
Albion State Normal school build
ings and grounds as authorized and
directed by an act of the 1921 Iegls-
lature providing for the removal of
the normal school to Burley. Pos
session will be given on or after
September l, 1921, says the States
man.
Announcement of the boards IN
tentlon is expected to open one of
the bitterest and keenest battles for
municipal supremacy staged in the
state for some time. 1t is rumored
among statehouse officials that the
town of Albion wi attempt to fight
the removal of the institution to
Burley and has already raised
sufficient funds with which to fin
ance the fight. Officials also say
that both Twin Falls and PocateIlo
are backing Albion IN Its fight.
Upon just what puint the Albion
people will attack the law is not
known but persons IN close touch
with the situation say the Albion
cause will be hard to beat.
Along with the boards announce
ment of It's intention to sell the AL
bion holdings comes the question:
What can the buildings be used
for?
The 1921 legislature tried to solve
this problem when it was making
the law moving the institution by
offering the buildings to the state
tuber culosis hospital commission
but the protest from that body was
so loud and long that the matter
was soon dropped.
Suggestions of using the build
ings for schools devoted to the IN
structlon of persons of certain re-
Iigious beliefs have also beenmade.
The location has been described
as one suitable for the site of a
tuberculosis hospital. The eleva-
tion is 5000 feet, there is an abund-
ant supply of water. the buildings
are adapted to the houslngl of the
patients and the 30 acres of land
could be used for farming purposes.

Will Have Another Teacher

through the efforts of Prof.
Daniels, the KendrIck End and 3rd
grades will be divided and will
have an extra teacher IN charge. Miss
Newklrk has nearly so pupils IN her
two grades, the first and second.
Half that manv IN the primary
rooms is considered plenty for one
teacher. Miss McAIIister mas over
40 IN the 3rd and 4th grades.
The first of the week Prof. Daniels
called up the county superintendent,
Hiss Scattaboe, and informed her
of the crowded conditions in
these four grades here. He stated
that owing TO the lack of funds IN
the district it would be impossibple
for district No. "a to pay the
salary OF another teacher. Miss
Scattaboe directed him to secure a
teacher and she would guarantee the
salary out of the state school funds.
This action by the county SUPER
intendent will relieve the conested
condition of the lower grades and
solve a problem which has caused
considerable worry to the teachers
and members of the school board.

Return From Big Hunt

A. W. I.ongfeIlow and son, A. l..
Longfellow, +. G. Lyons and Oscar
Moley returned Monday from
hunting trip IN the Red River
Springs country, beyond Elk City
They were gone thirteen days and
had fine weather during the entire
trip. They drove Sampson truck
so there was no time lost in getting
to the hunting grounds and return
ing with the fresh meat.
The party brought three elk back
with them and could have shot
more, but as they had all the meat
they could haul on the truck, they
were satisfied with three. Two of
the elk had fine horns but the third
was cow elk and furnished the
camp with fresh meat.
The trip was unique, as 1t Is sell
dom that elk hunters 60 after their
game IN an auto truck, the approved
method being by pack train. This
trip however, was most favored
one because of the extremely pleas
ant weather. The members of the
party report a splendid time and

Control Contagious Roup

Contagious Roup is rapidly
spreading disease which is very
common during the fall and early
winter among the poultry flocks of
Idaho, according tn R. 7. Park
hurst, associate professor Of poultry
husbandry in the College of Agri-
culture. 1t causes heavy loss, not
only from a heavy death rate, but
also from the interference with egg
production and loss of vitality IN
breeding. 1t is highly contagious,
especially in damp, cold weather,
and attacks both young end old
stock.
SYMPTOMS: Contagious Roup
is probably easier to identify than
any other poultry disease. 1t starts
usually like a simple cold. with a
thin, watery discharge from the
nose and eye. This secretion has a
peculiar, offensive odor. Infamma-
tion begins IN the nasal passages,
eyes, and spaces just below the eye
balls. The birds often cough and
sneeze, breathing becomes noisy,
and, If the air passages of the muse
become entirely blocked. they
breathe thru their mouths. The
birds soon lose their appetite and
become depressed, their wings
droop and their feathers ruff1e. The
secretions from the nose and eye
change from fluid to yellowlsh,
cheese-Iike mass. This increases
rapidly about the eyellds and in
the nostrils. One or both eyes be-
come enlarged and swelling may
appear on the head.
CONTROL: In most cases, the
following procedure is advisable:
l. Dispose of had cases by kill
ing and burning them.
2. Isolate birds having colds.
3. Be sure quarters are dry and
tight on all sides, with adequate
opening in the front for ventilation
and light to reach every part OF the
house.
4. Allow at least three square
feet floor space per bird.
5. Place little kerosene on the
top of the drinking water or 7.3.
grain mercury-blchloride tablet in
a gallon of water in a non-meta
container. The tablet should never
be used more than ten days IN sue
cesslon.
8. Place one pound epson salts
per one hundred birds. IN the drink
Ing water or wet mash.
