IN MEMORIAM

Luella, daughter of Mary E. and s.
G. Layne, was born on the Walnut
Layne farm in the Saratoga commun-
ity July II, 1877, departed this life
January 13, 1922 at her home in Cleve-
land, Ohio, aged A years, 5 months
and 26 days. Her father was called
to the life beyond some 80 years ago,
and a younger sister, Mrs. Ivy Murphy
died during the "flu" epidemic three
years ago, leaving her mother, three
sisters, Mrs. o. L. Gilmore of Pleasant
Hill, Mrs. F. G. Kesler of Saratoga,
Mrs. Fern Howard of Cleveland and
two brothers, H. F. Layne of Sara
toga and James Layne of Genoa, N.
Y. to mourn her demise.
She was married January rs, 1899
to Frederick H. Ruppel a resident Of
Webster City community. To this
union were born two sons, Carroll who
will attain his majority this next
June, and Donovan some 10 months
younger. They, with the husband, are
left to mourn the loss of a devoted
mother and wife. The earlier years
of her married life were spent in the
vicinity of Webster City, but Is years
ago they moved to the Northwest
where they lived until two years ago
when they moved to Cleveland.
Mrs. Ruppel was of a retiring dis
position, being rather reserved with
causual acquaintance, but was one
of those whom to know intimately was
to admire for her many worthy quail
ties. Only those Of US who met her
daily and intimately knew how bravely
and uncomplainingly she bore her
cross of poor health, only we knew of
the devoted attention she gave to
every detail of her home life, knew
the intense regard for her husband
and sons, knew her in fact to be a
vertiable home queen, who under any
and all conditions made home a desira-
BILE place. Small of stature, girlish in
form, a comrade for her sons, inter-
ested in all they did, she in turn to
them was an object of tender regard
and they felt a constant desire to pro-

those Of New England, notwithstand-
ing that lower temperatures are re-
corded here. The balance in favor of
Montana is due to two things. First,
the lower relative humidity, and, Sec
ond, the lower average wind move
ment at times of extreme cold. Low
temperatures, with a high humidity
and a strong or even fresh wind, are
more penetrating and cause more suf-
fering than the dry, quiet cold that
we have. Along the Arctic shores
praised by Mr.. Stefansson, there is
high humidity and there is a stronger
wind movement than ours. One ex-
petition to Point Barrow, Alaska, in
a little less than two years of obser-
vations ~(1SS1-83), brought back a e c
ord Of n maximum velocity of 100
miles an hour. I do not suggest that
this is typical of the wind movement
there; it may not be. But unfortun-
ately it occurred.
ITO suggest, because of the occur
renee of a low minimum temperature
in Montana, that the Arctic littoral
climate is more agreeable than ours is
a gratuitous slam. Of course, the man
may prefer it,-but everybody to his
taste. W. can't all be Eskimos.
1.-THE highest temperature ever Of
ficially observed in Montana was 112
degrees at Glasgow, up in the same
neighborhood that has been under dis
cussion. That is higher than has ever
been recorded at Havana, Cuba, or at
Port of Spain, in the island of Trini-
dad, West Indies, which is within ~
degrees of the equator. Are we to
say, because of that, that Glasgow is
warmer than Havana or Port of Spain
or the West Indian islands generally?
Not by a jugful. In heat as we'll as
in cold, the humidity is a highly i'm
portant factor in determining climate.
l have sweltered on the Gulf coast of
Texas with the temperature only SO
degrees; and who hasn't, that has been
in Galveston with the wind off the
Gulf? The heat of Chicago and New
York is more distressing and more
deadly than the heat of Yuma, because
it is damper."

terror. The feasibility of the project
is unquestioned and it's cost compared
with other great engineering works

Europe, MI. Harding said, is now
setting its hand to the development OF
a great continental waterway, connect
ing the Rhine and Danube, which will
bring water transportation from the
Black to the North sea. from Mediter-
ranean to Baltic.
"Its nationalistic prejudices and
economic difficulties can be overcome
by Europe" he asserted, "they should
certainly not be formidable obstacles
to an achievement, less expensive and
giving promise Of yet greater advan-
tages to the peoples Of North Amer
lea. Not only would the cost of trans
portation be greatly reduced, but a
vast population would be brough over
night in immediate touch with the
markets of the entire world"
The national policy, he said, should
be to develop industry and commerce
so that they might prosper side by
side.
To this end, he continued, encour-
agement should be given to every
practical proposal for watering lands,
draining swamp areas, retaining cut
over forest areas and for protection of
fertile valleys from inundation.
He declared there must be a new
conception of the farmers place in
the social and economic scheme of the
country.
"The time is long past" he said,
when we may think of farming as an
occupation fitting for the man who is
not equipped for, or has somehow
failed at, some other line of endeavor.

from being an unframed laborer work.

"This conference was called" he re-
minded the delegates, with the aim
to bring about the X general UNDER
standing that the conference is not a
legislative body" he added, 1--WE do
confidently anticipate that the consid-
erations here held will be helpful and
Illuminating to those Immediately re-
sponsible for the formation of public
policy in dealing with those problems"
The administration had been keenly
alive to the situation, he declared, and
had given encouragement and support
to every measure which it believed
was calculated to ameliorate the O n
dition of agriculture. So long as the
emergency continues, he said, it must
be dealt with as such but at the same
time "there is every reason for US to
consider these permanent modifica-
tons of policy which may make re-
lief permanent, may secure agriculture
as far as possible against the danger
that such conditions will arise again,
and place it as in industry in the
firmest and most assured position for
the future"

tect and guard her from all grief and
worry.
Throughout the various changes of
her life she kept up her church affNi-
atoms, being a regular attendant at
church services till her last illness pre-
vented her attendance. Everything
within human power was done to pre-
vent her illness from being fatal but
nothing seemed to check the dread
destroyer. Besides constant attention
from trained nurses, her husband was.
an untiring attendant at her bedside.
One little incident, which we quote,
will give the keynote to her character.
On being thanked for a kindness done
to another and the recipient lamenting
inability to return a like favor she
said, "Pay me, by passing it on"
Services were held at the Fosters
undertaking establishment, conducted
by DR.. R. F. Chipperfield at 2 a.. m.
Monday, followed by interment in the
beautiful Graceland cemetery. Her
casket was literally covered with flow
ers, showing how highly she was es-
teemed in the community where her
girlhood days were spent.
Can it be true thou are gone, dear
friend?
Causing us sorrow that will not end.
Gentle and womanly, trustworthy and
sweet,
Our lives without thee will not be
complete.
Tho thy departure we cease not to
regret,
We try not to murmur, we try not to
fret,
We try to submit to our Masters will,
That thy voice be mute, thy form lie
still.
To the Home beyond we feel thou are
gone,
Fare thee we'll, dear one, till eternity's
dawn.

MONTANA WINTERS LESS

Weather Man Declares Stefansson Is
Unjustified in Arctic Com
parison.

Helena, Jan. 23.-William T. Lath-
rop, section director of the United
States weather bureau here, declares
that Vilhjalmar Stefansson is not justi-
fled in comparing the climate Of the
Arctic regions with that of portions
Of Montana. He replied in this man.
ner when he vas asked by The Tri-
bune correspondent to state his views
upon Stefansson's article in the De-
cember Worlds Work, entitled "The
North That Never Was" in which the
explorer made the assertion that the
Arctic climate was no more evere
than it is in some parts of Montana.
Since the article appeared it has been
discussed editorially in several of the
newspapers of the state.
"'The North That Never Was is an
excellent article, and in it's bearing
upon Arctic conditions it is not neces-
sarily ~discredited by the reference to
and comparison with the cold of Mon
tana," said Mr.. Lathrop.
Editor R. G. Linebarger of the
Havre Promoter picked up Stefansson
neatly enough upon his singing out
the Havre section for comment, when
eastern North Dakota and northwest
ern Minnesota, section with which Mr..
S%tefansson presumably is more famil-
lar, are colder than Montana. The
fact that an extreme occurred else
where does not remove the fact that
those sections average considerably
the colder.
"From experience in Montana and
western North Dakota and in New
England, l have found that the Mon
tana winters average less severe than

ROOSEVELT SOLD AUTO TO AID
FINANCE PROGRESSIVE PARTY

New. York, Jan. 23.-Former Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt sold his au-
tomobile to help finance the progress
i've party after the defeat.
In 1912, Elon H. Hooker, former
treasurer of the party, declared in
presenting to the Roosevelt Memorial
association the original subscription
list signed by the then progressive
leaders.
Colonel Roosevelt's name appears
opposite a pledge of $1,000 a year for
four years.
"Mr. R~oosevelt's PLEDGE, said Mr..
Hooker, twas a real drain on his
treasury. He had a limousine auto
mobile, but could not afford both the
limousine and the subscription. So he
sold the limousine and thereafter
drove a rather shabby old touring car.

Southern Railway
Faces Grave Situation

An uneommonly grave situation,
some people apprehei.d today con-
fronts the Southern Railway COM
pany. There has been feeling all
along that the Southern might in the
end find itself penalized for its eff
forts to avoid a conflict with the
striking shopmen. Just this state of
affairs is precipitated by the action
Of the executives in rejecting the
Harding formula. Many Of the roads
have been taking on new men, and are
therefore in better position to stand
a prolongation of the strike. Dur
ing the last forty eight hours the
Southern has experienced great deal
of difficulty in observing any sort Of
schedule.
The road and its men would be
free to negotiate a separate settle
ment, but the question is at all times
uppermost whether any such enter
prise would hold a promise of sue
cess in view of the attitude of the
National officers of the shop crafts.
1t cannot be said, however, that
the action of the executives caused
an eHlOllOu VI SUI ptbSS W run bhtOuSh
the general offices of the Southern.
Yesterday allusion was made in this
correspondence to the formal state
ment promulgated by the Labor
Board on July Sth, to the fatatistic
attitude of many of the executives,
and to the determination of others
to stand out against acceptance of
the White House views concerning
seniority. To understand what has
happened one must go back to that
Labor Board utterance, when it was
declared that the sh0pmen, by their
own action, had automatically aban-
doned all. the rights they possessed
under their agreements, and under
the decisions of this board, includ-
ing their seniority"
This was the utterance OF gov
ernmental agency for whose supre-
macy the President is constantly con-
tending. 1t is declared for the exeeu-
tives that they, together, with their
shop foremen and supervisors, rep
resented TO the men who remained
loval. and to the new men who &C
cepted employment, that they would
have the support, not only of the
road officials, but of the Federal Gov
eminent, as represented and exemph-
fled in the LABOR Board.
The executives have pointed out,
too, that whereas they desire above
all things to range themselves on the
side of law and order, and while they
hold in deep reverence the constitut-
ed authorities, they have wanted to
know when" they are expected to
bow to the mandates Of the Federal
governmental July 9Th, or on Aug
uSt LIST.
For these and kindred reasons some
have believed, while others have fear
ed, that the executives would do just
as they have done. And this fear, as
reflected in this correspondence, OBJ
tanned right along when many were
indulging the prophecy that the
strike troubles would all vanish to-
day. Such prophecy emanated
from the White House in the man,
and there the wish was father to the
thought.

ITALIAN HUTS AND CHIMNEY

THE REMAINS. of hundreds OF
Stone Age huts have been found IN
Italy. Most Of these were built on
or near the shore of the Adriatic
Sea.
Of course, all these huts were de-
stryed long ago by rain, wind or
FIRE. We find only the holes over
which the huts were built. In many
such holes, stone tools and weapons
have been found. This proves the
people in the huts were in the Stone
Age.
What is a hut-hole like?
Il is usually circular it two or
three feet deep. The average width
is about fifteen feet.
In many of these holes were

been used to plaster the wicker

among the other relics.

This primary election, just con

presented a public servant who
deemed his first duty to be the per-
Torrance of those tasks with
which he was charged as of pri-
mary Importance. Who regarded
his own interests as subSeryient to
those of the people who had laid
the burden of service upon his
shoulders. In noticeable contrast
to Others of the senate who have
spent weeks and months in build
