fund was subscribed to insure the
routing of the new highway to this
point.
This new artery of travel means
much to Holly. 1t taps the oil
country to Oklahoma and travel
that has been routed by the wya
of Wichita, Kansas. and has been
absorbed by various highways be-
fore reaching here, will now be rout
ed direct, coming through Liberal,
Satanta and johnson City, Kansas
and Buckeye due north to Holly. 1t
means to travellers the reaching of
a railroad 20 miles sooner than by
the Lamar route and saving of
40 miles from here to Denver of the
north route is chosen from here
The new highway Is already
marked as far as Forgan, Oklaho-
ma and the remainder will be mark
ed with steel markers, two at each
turn and one each six miles on the
,straightaway. Holly will receive
much favorable advertising in the
literature sent out by the associa-
tion and the business men who
have contributed so literally in
bringing this new business this
way are deserving of the commend
alton of the entire community.

LUMBER INDUSTRY
BETTER IN TONE

Slowly improving conditions in the
lumber business during the last year
have within the present month taken on
q better tone that is readily recognized
the country over, according to G. B.
March Of the NJ & H. Lumber Co. Of
Kalispell who was in Great Falls
Monday. The improvement is not SO
pronounced in different sections of the
country. but nationally the upward
trend has been Of nature that has
attracted the serious attention Of the
trade.
business men who try accurately to
recount the situation of the lumber
trade do not attempt to draw
pictures too rosy in color. for
the slow processes Of the recon-
struction period have become too
well recognized to let any we'll in
return to normal is just before us.
Throughout the last year there have
been many accounts Of great stimula
tons in the lumber business, but
think that within the present month,
more especially during the last two
weeks, the Improvement has been such
that comment upon it is consistent.
THE best lumber authority know
is furnishing information to this effect,
and from knowledge gained from other
sources ! think the assertion is quite
correct. Many localities are unable to
see any material difference as yet. but
take it the country over the recent i'm
provement is easily noticeable. At Min
neapolis the lumber business is pick
ing up great deal and reports from
Chicago are very encouraging. The
same is true of some Of the other large

of rye. Forty-four Thousand acres Of

this year and $1,000 acres Of alfalfa.
The ranges and ranches appeared to be

Provincial Bonds Sell.
Canada considered that the post

there and business men said that the
United States has made much greater

Of the bonds were sold in Canadian

greater than this figure.
He testified that these elevators
handled on an average little more
than 10000 bushels and that a very
small proportion, probably one or two
per cent, had been handled on hand
ling charge. 1t was stated that upon
the cost of these elevators the cost
of handling the grain put through them
would average in the neighborhood Of
10 cents per bushel.
Mr.. Fisher said that during the pre-
sent season the two or three elevators
which had done any amount OF bust
ness had handled more storage wheat
than all the 80 had handled in 1920
and claimed that the storing of any
great quantity of grain under the four
cent charge would subject the COM
pany to heavy loss.
Commissioner Davis said the depart
ment took the stand that all the over
head cost Of the elevators could not be
assessed against the handling feature of
the business, which in the past had
constituted only very small percent
age of the business.
Mr.. Fisher said he would be unable
to forecast how much wheat would be
handled for storage this year, but that
the more business handled, the higher
the charge the elevators would have
to make if they were to keep from
losing money.
Mr.. Fandenover said that probably
not to exceed five per cent Of the
grain received by elevators in the past
had been handled for storage, but the
elevators are now confronted by an en-
.irely different situation and do not
Know how much they will have to
handle this year, but that it might be
ten times as much.
In referring to an entirely differ
ent situation, Mr.. Vandenover had in
mind the marketing agreement entered
into last winter and spring under
which wheat amounting to between
1000. 900 and 100000 bushels was
promised for shipment under a market
ing plan by which it is not to be sold
outright to the elevators and grain
dealers operating in the state.
Testimony along the same line as
that brought out by Mr.. Fisher and
Mr.. Vandenover was given by W. II.
Sherwood. manager of the Royal Mill
ing Co, Great Falls: w. T. Greely, Of
the Greedy Elevator Co.. Great Falls:
J. r. Swift. of the Montana Elevator
Co, Lewistotwn; p f. Brown, Of Lew

Elevator Co, Billings: Aug. Schwach-
elm, OF the State Elevator Co, Cas-
cade; w. II. Pierce, Of the Farmers
Elevator Co., Hedges; and r. J. And
erson, 81 Lewistown.
Their estimates on cost Of operation
of elevators ranged from 1880 to 81
200, and all held that the more grain
handled on a handling basis, the more
impossible it would be to operate.

TOKEEP PUPILS

KIWANIS' WORK
Campaign to Foster Education
Fixed Upon as Most Vital
for Community.

Keeping the Riddles in School,
will be the slogan Of the major com
munity work undertaken this year by
the Great Falls Kiwanis club. A pro-
gram designed to place students in
school who are not now attending and
to assist those who are encountering
difficulties in realizing their ambition
to attend. was adopted by the club
at its luncheon at the Hotel Rainbow
Monday as the most vital work in
which the membership can now inter-
est itself.
Decision to take up this work and
to sponsor municipal band followed
the final reports Of special committee
men who have been at work for sever
al weeks on the clubs annual calender
Of activities. BY voting to sponsor
the band the club cleared the way for
% pieces. Rehearsals will be begun
at once. with the assurance that a
series of concerts will be given next
summer and that union difficulties
which have hindered heretofore will be
eliminated.

guaranteeing the necessary funds, it
was announced, and new special COM
mittee will take over the work Of fl
nancing.
The Rev. Leo l.. Totten of the clubs
special committee declared that work
done in improving school attendance
was the biggest and best" the mem
bership could undertake. He said that
many children are not in school who
should be attending and that the many
reasons contributing to this fact give
rise to big problem. Illness. unem-
ployment, Indifferent parents and lack
of inclination with some children are
among the more important causes OF
nom at enhance, he stated.
For big Brother" Work.
The Rev. Totten stated that Super
intendent s. d. Largent Of the city
schools and other school officials are
thoroughly pleased with the clubs
interest in school attendance.
Keeping the kiddies in school will
develop many phases that will make
desirable a Big Brother organization
in Great Falls, the Rev. Totten con-
tinued. He cited instances in which
Big Brother could be Of assistance,
and stated that the women CLUBS,
the parent teachers association and all
civic bodies would be asked to CO.
operate. He asserted that 200 students
who are attending school, or would at
tend if possible, are in need Of work.
The Rev. Totten referred to the paper
given two weeks ago by James Elton of
the special committee as revealing
startling statistics on illiteracy.
Committee Heads Named.
Mr.. Elton was named chairman of
new special committee which will take
in charge the clubs work for school
children and Maurice Handler heads
