No One Can Look Over
Governors TransOms

One can no longer stand on a step-lad
der and look over the transoms into the
offices of Governor Warren T. McCray
even II one should be so inclined.
The transoms over the large doors,
which are ten feet or so in height, origi-
nally contained glass just like regular
transoms.
Then. shortly after Warren T. McCray
became Governor, the trsnsoms over the
doors to his private office were covered
with heavy wrapping paper.
Today they appeared containing beau
tiful quartered oak panels in the places
where the glass used to be.
II has not been decided whether the
panels viii be painted yellow and then

BOOZE IN u. S.
IN QUANTITIES
Liquor POurs Into Country by
BOatlOad-FOr Foreign
Sources, However.

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. - whisky
wines and other liquors-in quantities
began pouring in upon American soil to-
day from foreign sources, but not for
American consumption.
The liquors are entering through
American ports for consignees in other
countries in very large volume, accord
ing to reports to the treasury today.
The liquor shipments are made pos
sible by the Treasurys action in lifting
the ban upon so-ealled sin transit
liquors. Secretary Mellon directed col
1ectors of customs not to interfere with
the entry of liquor ships at custom houses
when the liquor is being shipped by for
eign concerns to other foreign destina-
lions.
Movement of enormous stocks of liquors
across the Canadian border will not be
restricted in any way if it is designed
for consignees in some other foreign
country.
The decision of the Treasury, suspend
ing regulations which had prohibited
such shipments, grew out of consider
alton given the foreign liquor and the
status of foreign ships with liquor aboard
at a recent meeting Of the President and
his Cabinet.
The Administration has needed the adj
vice Of Attorney General Daugherty.
He said it would be folly to allow a
multiplicity of litigation in courts, al
ready badly congested, over an issue that
can well be held in allegiance until the
Supreme Court finally determines the
scope Of the YoIstead law upon this one
phase.
Officials said Canadian distilleries plan
at once a heavy movement of liquor Sup
plies over the boundary for Mexico and
for Pacific coast ports for trans ship
ment to the Orient.

This is bird of a story" les all
about Brazilian red finch shat turned
out to be a common or garden variety Of

Fred Ehleis, who happens to be in
charge of the game wardens of the south

Government bird man, received a tip
that woman living on West Ohio street,
had a red bird confined IN a cage.
Now there is an Indiana law and
Federal law and an international treaty
all Of which make unlawful the confn-
ing Of red bird in a cage. Therefore
Mr.. Bhlers investigated.
The woman told him she had paid SIS
to a Massachusetts, avenue bird store for
the bird and that she was told 1t was
a Brazilian red finch" Mr.. Ehlers went
to the bird store and was told the bird

The woman in Brightwood said she had
purchased the finch from a woman III

was to be done about it.
An agreement net to prosecute was
reached on condition that everybody
would settle with everybody else. So
like the events surrounding the pig that

nursery story the woman in Brightwood
began to pay the bird store and the
bird store began to pay the woman on

out of his cage and sought his friends

BETTER AGRICULTURE

There is a feeling throughout Montana that there is a way to
combat adverse climatic conditions successfully IN agriculture.
When one or several farmers have proven concluslvey through a
succession of dry years that fair crops of grain can be raised on
Montana sol-as has been done-it arouses interest among tne
thinkers of all classes. If one or a dozen men can do this there is
no reason to doubt that it can be done by all farmers III methou
is fully understood and the knowledge properly disseminated. 1t
is a fact that i'm many sections of Montana where farming WIN
out irrigation is practced, the usual rainfall is sufficient to raise
a crop in the average season. Nevertheless IN these favored reg
ions. the dry season is no great novelty and when IL does come, IT
ia decidedly disastrous, as the residents of this section are fully
aware. 1t is only commons sense to assume that any metnod that
promises good results in an arid region will give Usually good, and
probably better, results where a reasonable amount oI moisture Is
the usual thing. Besides it is an insurance against the occasional
dry year. e-
the necessity of employing the most approved methods In all farm-
ing operations, there is a great deal of stress being LAID upon a
general change in the system of farming by Montana agucultur
lists. The present campaign for the most acceptable way OF rails
ing a crop of grain through the summer tilage idea is supple
mented by the urging of diversified farming as the ultimate goal
to be attained; in other words, to go back to the ways OF the old
time farmer that obtain in the older settled states OF the union.
In fact, it merely means that the farmer should conduct his opera
tions on a plan that provides work for every working day IN the
year-and most of the Sundays and holidays also. Inc farmer
that has the capacity to do this will have little leisure to worry
over hard times. OF course, there are a great many farmers IN
Montana who have discovered this and are practicing it also. ii
is noticeable that these farmers are not particularly stressed by
the general depression, nor are they troubled very mucn Dy tne
fluctuations of the wheat market.
After al, there is, nor can be, no standard formula OF success
in farming any more than in any other line OF industry. 1t all
depends upon the Individual, and the way can only be suggested
along the lines that would apply to most any trade or avocation.
In the final analysis the farmer has got to study and solve his own
problems. No doubt many farmers wonder why so much advice is
handed gratuitousiy in his direction. No one takes the trouble to
tell the blacksmith where to head in, or the printer or the barbey-f
only on occasion, perhaps, but the farmer IS continually being DOM
barded with advice. In reality it is an honorable distinction
worthy of some thought. Farming is the basic industry OF the
world and the prosperity and success of the farmer is the vtahc
basis of all prosperity. The world recognizes this indispensable
place of the farmer in economic life and he will never lack instruc-
ton.

STIRRING UP THINGS

There is considerable of a note OF sympathy expressed IN many
quarters over the activities of the Cascade County Taxpayers lea
que, especially just at this period when most citizens have but gone
through the agony of digging up the sum required to pay a heavy
county, state and municipal tax bill Fedora taxes to the aver
age citizen means but little, as by far the greater majority now es-
cape them altogether in the direct way, but of late years the
county and municipal tax burden has become a very real thing to
most everybody, and any attempt to enquire into the reason of this
burden by an organization instituted for that specific purpose pos
sesses more than a passing interest.
The taxpayers, league of Cascade county appears to have
started something worth while. While no doubt much of their de-
alterations has developed more or less oratory of the hot air vari-
ETY., there has also been some real activity toward constructive eff
fort in reducing county expenses in a practical way. In order to
do this effectively they have been compelled, naturally, to nose
into the conduct of county and city offices more or less, with the
natural result of putting some of the county officials on the de-
fensive.
There is little question but the league has pointed out ways IN
which a material saving can be made to the taxpayers, and while
of minor economies pointed out, it is these small economies that
make up the big aggregate which will meet the approval Of the tax
payers.
For a long time there has been a growing sentiment among
those who foot the bills that government, state and county oftic-l
ias and employees are seldom if ever-to put it baldly-over-1
worked. The idea is quite commonly assumed, and often voiced,
that much thought and effort is given by a certain stamp of pub
ambition, perhaps, but too often worked out by political methods,
rather than efficient and economical service. The modern tax
payer who feels that his burden is getting altogether too heavy
and that includes all of them-is beginning to insist upon concrete
results toward a real lessening of government expense II the tax
payers, league or any individual can point out a method by which
a county official can save $25 a year on one item, or $1,000, it looks
to US as though that official should welcome the suggestion. An
budget is a stronger appeal to voters these days than any time
spent in building political fences. The county or state official who
can show real savings to the taxpayers will find the press of the
state willing to give due publicity to the fact.

FACING THE FACTS

A prominent copper authority says that instead of waiting for
increased prices to open mines it will be necessary for mining COM
panies to reduce operating costs yet lower SO they may make a pro-
fit on present prices.
Wages in many instances are still far above pre-war scale,
while it seems doubtful if more than pre-war metal prices will be
received for some time to come. Further, ne urges the copper in
dustry to "go after" the commercial business 1t lost when the gov
eminent took practically all metal for war purposes. In order to
use copper in large quantities for manufacturing purposes of all
kinds it must be produced at a price which will encourage general
We must make our new markets today by showing
the merit and economy OF using our product.
am in favor of good wages, but we must eliminate every bit
of war initiation and get down to a bedrock basis of economical

1t may be still hard to swallow this advice, but if our mines
are to operate it must be on a lower cost basis. The public sets the
of both commodities and wages. If we can't meet the public
we can't operate.
