TALLY ONE FOR THE osTEoPATHs

5" While we do not for a moment believe the attitude taken by a
few of the lights of the medical profession in discouraging Dr.
Adolf Lorenz from holding his free clinics is the attitude of the
medical profession of America as a whole, none the less, we hand
it to the osteopaths for their stand in the situation.
DR.. Lorenz is the emminent physician, who for a number of
years has stood at the very head of the medical profession in the
treatment of certain physical deformities. impoverished by the
war, he has made his way to America. declaring his intention to
devote the remainder of his life to the alienation of suffering in
America, so far as is in his power, without fee or pay. He does
this from gratitude to America foE the relief given his country in
its time of distress. This program appears 10 have met with the
disapproval of the medical profession in some Of the larger cities
of the country, and this has been seized upon by the osteopaths as
an opportune time to display a Christian spirit. They have of
fered DR.. Lorenz hospitals all over the country in which to hold his
free clinics for the treatment of crippled children by his method
of bloodless surgery and have offered to pay all his expenses of
travel from one hospital to another. They, in fact, have fairly
flooded him with invitations and offers of help in his great work,
and besides are not sparing in expressions of appreciation of his
noble and self-sacrificing duty.
The medical practitioners of the old school have never displayed
much friendship or affection for the osteopaths, and few will blame
the latter for graspng this opportunity for what was sure to result
in favorable comment from all disinterested quarters.

FARMERS SAVE $56 ON CAR
WITH THE NEW GRAIN RATE

That the new hay and grain rate
granted by the interstate commerce
commission, viii go into effect Deem
Der 81, is the understanding of j. F.
Pewters, general freight and passen-
ger agent of the Great Northern.
The commission ordered a reduction
amounting to about i6 per CEN on
certain classifications. The railroad
offered a counter proposal for a gen.
eral reduction of 10 per cent This
was turned down. The original order
provided that the IS per cent reduc-
ton should go into effect mot later
than December 27." No other in
struction has been received, so it Is
expected that the new rate will be-
come effective on that date. The re-
duction is said to mean a saving to
farmers of $50 on a a Of wheat.
No reduction is due on coal rates,
Mr.. Pewters has been notified. The
present rate of s1.12h a ton will con-
tinue between Sand Coulee or Belt and
Great Falls. Operators asked for a
80 per cent reduction to make it posi-
BILE for them TO compete with the truck
haulers and yet operate at a profit.
They are meeting the truck haulers'
prices, but at a loss, they say.

DELINQUENT TAX LISTS

Quite a number of the county treasurers of Montana have
compiled the amount of delinquent taxes and as expected, the de-
hnquencies will figure up more than in preceding years I'm
doubtedly the total dehnquencies will exceed that of any year in
the history of Montana. One thing that this will show is that no
particular line of business suffered more than another. The
farmer was inclined to think that his was the hardest game during
the past season, but it is noticeable that counties where farming
has the least representation appear to be as bad If not in a worse
position than the agricultural counties.
From the estimates given out Mt this writing, Cascade county
makes an excellent showing compared with other counties of the
state whichgoes to howthat we are not as bad off as we might be.
The farmer, the mine owner, the lumbermen and the stock
grower, all will, in years to come, possibly refer to 1921 as q year
