GENERAL REJOICING

Comment on the reopening of the
mining industries, January 16:
Chinook Opinion.-We can well
rejoice over improvement of condi-
tons industrially in any part of our
Commonwealth. All the state will
be benefited.
Lewistown Democrat-News.-The
Closing down followed on the heels
of successive crop f~oilures and for
that eason the suspension of the
great metal industry was more keen
ly felt than would ordinarily have
been the case. By the same token,
this resumption becomes more i'm
p~ortant because of the agricultural
depression.
Rocky Mountain Husbandman.-
The market offered by the big min
ing operations at Butte is a great
factor in supplying consumption for
Montana's farm products.
Great Falls Tribune.-Citizens
ought to look upon the present sit
uation as the opening of a new era,
wherein the companies and the peo-
pie may join hands to bring about
a larger and a more Fundamental
prosperity than we have ever before
enjoyed.

LYRICS OF LIFE

THE MAN YOUR BOY WILL BE.

lite MAN TWIN oOr WILL De.
Y yOU sometimes worry, wonder what
" Your boy will be a man;
1 You like to look ahead a lot
The future try to scan.
You hope he'll be a man In fact
AS well as man in size,
And so his every boyish act
You watch with anxious eyes.
But do not worry-you can tell
The man your boy will be.
If he the truth will follow well
You try to make him see;
You need not watch his nights and days
In search of guilt or guile
You only need to turn your gaze
Upon yourself awhile.
There is tho place for men to look
For fathers to inquire;
Sons do not learn life from a book
They learn 1t from their sire.
rule you make you boy obey
Must be the rule for you
The boy will heed the thing you SAP
But more the thing will do.
1t Is not difficult to know
The future of the lad,
For he will very likely grow
Exactly like his dad
The life he leads as time unfolds,
When boyhood days are fled,
VIII be the life he now beholds-
The life his father led.

ONE FIRE IN 1921

during the year 1921 Wolf Point had
just one fire, and that one caused
a loss of only S25. This is men
toned merely as a matter of news

there is a popular theory that boast

MIDSUMMER DRAMA

In answer to the frequent statement
that an unusual number of theatres
have been dark this Summer, the
organ OF the Actors Equity Associa-
ton presents a highly interesting set
OF statistics. On July 10. twenty
shows" were running. This is two
less than on the same date of 1919
and 1920. which were years OF great
prosperity In tho theatre. but three
more than last Summer. As there
are approximately nifty regular"
theatres, the number of dark"
houses was only in the proportion Of
five to two.
During the past decade, II appears.
there has been a marked increase In
the number of summer runs. On July
10. 1912. only five houses were open.
The number remained approximately
the same until 1917. when 1t jumped TO
sixteen. Many OF these were war
plays, hot off the griddle: but 1918
brought a decrease OF only one. TO
fifteen. and the two following sum
mers established the record of twenty
two. In neither of the subsequent years
has the number fallen as low as in
1917 and 1918. and Il remains almost
four times the average for the first
half of the decade. From the region

WHY HIGHER PRICES FOR C0ALi

When President Harding proposed
to operators and the striking miners
tltt the miners continue at work at
the old wage scale for 80 days, pend
ing conferences to seek a basis for
settlement. the majority of the opera
tors fatty refused. What was gained
by that refusal? The strike in the
Southwest now ended by agreement
between miners and operators, means
Il continuation of the old wage scale
until next April?
Our desire to bring about lower
prices for coal was thwarted," says
the president OF the operators ~associa-
ton. Now there Is no chance for a
reduction in prices. The cost OF coal
will be as high 40 last winter, per-

Why so? The operators have sold

GOMPERS AS LAW EXPOUNDER.

were contrary TO the limitations OF

SPIRIT OF THB DANCE

That dancing experts IN convention
in New York ascribe certain dance
habits which have come in for moral
censure not to sensuous levity, but to
sheer awkwardness, Is both a vindi-
cation and an indictment. AS a vindi-
cation from the charge of any wrong
intent, It is gratifying. But as an in
dictment it hurts the sensitive cord
of vanity.
To put II bluntly, the dancing mas
tiers say the average American girl
doesn't know how to dance. That isn't
pleasant 70 hear. Nobody likes to be
classed in the awkward squad. "A mar
