METROPOLITAN BUILDING DER
RICK.

Lewistown-The Metropolitan Oil
company purchased a Standard rig
from the Grogan-Robinson Lumber
company, which it viii have erected
on its spotting in section 5. Immcdi-
ately after erection drilling will be
commenced, and within three weeks
the Metropolitan hopes to be produc-
ing, as they have every reason to be
lieve that they are in an ideal field
and spotted an ideal spot.
Buss and Martin, rig builders, have
contracted to erect the new Standard
derricks for the Metropolitan and the
CCC outfits. They are already buisly
engaged with the task and within a
few days expect to have both ready
to spud in.

We live rather an easy life here
in BOzeman. Right now we COM
plain of hard times, but compared to
some other parts of the state and
nation we don't know what hard
times mean. We go along in our
rather pleasant ways, some Of US tax
ing the bigger CANDLES of life and
either failing or making good; others
content to add to our competence
more slowly-some adding not at all,
but slowly draining their bank ac-
count of vitality in futile pursuits.
Did you ever stop TO think where and
what you will be ten, twenty or forty
years from now-y0ur chances for
success based on your present way Of
living? The American Bankers assoc
iation has taken 100 average young
men starting out in life at the age of
%. Each has had as good chances for
success as you have. Here is what
happened to the 100:
At the age Of 35. Twenty-Five
have. saved nothing; forty have mod
crate means; ten in good circum-
stances; ten are wealthy; five are
dead.
At the age of 45. Seventeen are no
longer self-supporting; sixty-five are
self-supporting, but have no re-
sources; three are wealthy; sixteen
are dead.
At the age of Is. Thirty are de-
pendent on children, relatives or
charity; forty-six are self-supporting,
but without means; three are in good
circumstances; one is wealthy; thirty
J six are dead.
Where will you be ten, twenty and
forty years from now? No one car
answer that question but yourself
the answer is largely what you really
want it to be.

bad, though milady will have to de-
fer the wearing of that new spring
suit, this snow is great thing for
the valley and the slowness with
which it goes off speaks well for
the moisture that is seeping into the
ground. The frost practically all
went out Of the ground during the
last days Of February. These light
freezes are not lasting and as the
snow melts slowly under the warm
ing March sun the water goes on in
to the soil. There is little run-off.
And moisture is what makes for
crops here in the Gallatin. We may
be delayed and Inconvenience, but
this snowy weather means dollars to
those who most need it, the farmers
Of the valley.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1921-03-16

A man died the other day. He was
a former Gallatin man, who had
made his little competence here and
was lured away in his later years
by the smiles of warmer cline. He
died in a southern city, unknown,
unmourned and surrounded only by
a few of the friends of his youth
exiles like himself. His death made
not the slightest ripple in the city
of his adoption; neither had his life
for that matter. He was useful there
only because he paid his bills and
added his little mite to the growing
power of the metropolis of another
state. And they brought him home
to bury him, home to the place where
he spent his youth. In Bozeman
another man died not so long ago.
He was a friend and co-worker of
the first man in the early days. I'm
like him, when his competence was
gained, he lived his life here. He
took his part in the travails and
struggles, the pleasures and accom-
plishments of this community. He
did not seek a foreign state to spend
his declining years, he stayed in the
harness and worked for the communi-
ty that gave him what he had. And
when the end came, he had the salts
faction that comes with accomplish
ments other than the mere amassing
of dollars, the love and respect that
arise from daily contact with life
well spent and the happiness that
speeds the wayfarer into the valley
Of the shadows surrounded by famili-
ar scenes and well loved faces. Whose
was the greater gain? Does the hec-
tic life of a city, the wooing induce
ments of southern chimes, make ur
for the other things? If Bozeman is
good enough to make your money in
good enough to be buried in, why
isn't it good enough to live in?

Mr. Stearns accused certain short
gentleman" of lobbying and intimated
that he had made deal with certain

lege if things turned out right, He also
accused justice of the supreme court
of appearing before committees and ad'
vocating this bill.
II understand" said the speaker
chat the legislative and Judicial arms
of the state were separate. How then
does the honorable justice consider It
proper to come before legislative bodies
and discuss this billy"
Answering a newspaper charge that
bill III. SO was two towns against the
interests of the whole state OF Yer
mont, the gentleman from Johnson said
that it was really Burlington against
all the small towns in the state.

the speaker, sis to grab the soil and
pay the bills"
Queried by Mr. Smith of Landgrove,
Mr. Stearns said he understood the in
terrogator was lawyer, doctor and

question. This drew a protest from Mr..
Carpenter of Cabot. who said it was no
time for personalities. He made plea
for eacher-training courses and wider
educational opportunity for the teach
ers.
Mr.. Tyler of Enosburg said he con
sidered the bill constructive legisla-
ton, step in advance and urged that
Vermont should provide the best in the
way of facilities for higher education.
Mr. Kendall of Pittsford told of a visit
to Castleton. when, after looking the

daughter elsewhere. He thought YER
mont should provide the best institu-
tions for each training, AS also did Mr..
Simpson of Sheffield, who followed
Miss Beard of Orange, speaking as
teacher, pleaded for living wage for
the teacher and for a chance for them
to receive proper training. She ex-
planned the elementary plan in the
teachers college, tWo-year COURSE
which she thought would give teach
ers for rural schools good training and
the full four-year course, which would
fit them for high school, supervision or
work and give them a
college degree.
She urged that by giving our boys
and girls these better chances we were
building for better citizens and better
legislators She urged the members to
keep in mind over 400 teachers and

ments that the fortress was without
food, says telegram from Stockholm.
To the contrary, there is plenty OF
food and ammunition there, the mes
sage stated.
"Artillery fire from Kronstadt has
beef extremely well directed, the

to johnson or Castleton. He told of
girls in Brattleboro going to Massachu-
sets for their training under con
tracts to teach Il certain number of
years.
There are 1900 teachers declared
the speaker passionately, who are call
ing upon you TO forgot your politics,
your trickery and your propaganda and
give them better training facilities"
He defended the state board and
asked if men of the character of Luther
B.. johnson, Rev. Hewitt, Messrs.
Brooks. Webber and Rowland We're ac-
tualIy capable of conspiring against the
schools of Vermont.

Button Opposed Bill
Mr.. Button spoke as an alumnus and
valedictorian Of the University of Yer
mont but as an advocate of his home
town college, Middlebury. He said Mid
dlebury had the official school Of teach
training of the state, just as Ver-
mont had the official school Of agricul
ture. He said the House was confronted
with q. normal school problem, not a
college problem, and that Middlebury
was prepared to carry out her contract
to furnish teachers
Middlebury, said the speaker, turned
down the teachers college proposition
~
that normal school had no business
in college town; because the new col
lege plan would be unfair to johnson
and Castleton He urged the House to
look out for the institutions it already
has before it goes out after another.
The speaker accused the state board
of uttering too much propaganda but
shortly afterward urged the members
to read the Collins pamphlet which had
been placed on their desks.
Mr.. Connal of Newport Town closed
the debate for the opposition. He said
there was 10 present shortage of teach
ers for secondary schools but that there
was an admitted shortage Of teachers
for the rural or elementary schools. He
charged the inefficiency of johnson and
Castleton schools against the manage
ment
1T was crime to conduct any bu
ness the way these normal schools have
been conducted, but the state board Is
not directly to blame. The real crimi-
nal has escaped. He is without the jur
isdiction of the state and | don't think
any one viii send out requisition pa
pers after him
. The speaker referred to the womens
dormitory at Windsor, the empty
house of correction at Rutland the
Vail school as other examples of bad
management we should not have
scattered about the state these monu-
mental failures said the speaker, "and
il we establish this teachers college the
next administration will probably put
that in the same class
He said the demand for the teach
ers' college did not come from the peo-
Pile but from the board of edueatio
the superintendent and the teachers,
all owing their appointments to the
board.

ing themselves In two sprightly bur-
lettas. The most powerful magnify
ing glass could not detect a plot in
the two offerings. put their utter non
sense together with a lot OF jazz mu-
sic and agile dancing makes them go
over great.
Much OF the success OF, the enter
tainmcnt is due to the untiring eff
forts of Tom SIENNA, comedian new
TO Washington audiences, but one
who has quickly established his right
to rank with the best OF them. His
dance numbers with Miss Weber
were repeatedly encored.
While a little shy on vocal ability
the feminine members OF the company
are good lockers. and every one OF
them can shake n wicked knee. Violet
and Tenny Hilson won the chief
honors. while Vivian Lawrence and
Dolly Meden came in for good
share of the applause.
Other members OF the company in
clude Jimmie Connors and Thomas
McKenna, whose sidewalk patter
bearing on prohibition was extremely
funny; Al Watson and Bert Lester.
The -four dancing demons" a COL
ored troup, introduced many novel
steps. The chorus is good looking
and well drilled.
