more efficient in Great Britain than
in the United States. Its verdict
is carried out far more promptly.
MOI is that the worst of the COM
parison. Just now President Hard
ing and the rcpudiated old con-
gress are determinedly bent on car
rying out policies repudiated at
the polls by the voters at the last
election. It is freely admitted that
the new congress-, fresh from the
people would never pass the ship
subsidy bill. The new congress
understands that the voice Of pub
lie opinion as expressed at the polls
is against it. But the president
and his party leaders are doing
everything they can to prevent the
mandate of the people being made
effective. IF they can gain this
ship subsidy bill through the old
congress before the new one has a
chance to meet they will do so,
regardless of the election verdict.
There has been much talk about
shortening the period between the
election of a new congress and the
date when they may meet. The in
tervaI was made long to meet the
requirements of early day trans
p~ortation by stage and horseback.
Some of the remote districts of the
United States needed a long time
to reach the national capital, weeks
and months in some instances.
Now a week or ten days is suffi-
cient for even the most distant con-
gressional district to reach Wash
ington with it's congressional rep
r~esentative. If the new congress
met in December instead Of a year
from next December, it is probable
that every newly elected congress
man could be in his place. 1t that
was the law President Harding
would never try to force legislation
covering half a billion dollars bonus
money to ship owners in the next
two years through the old congress,
just repudiated by the voters, and
filled with lame ducks defeated by
their constituents and looking for
a job with a treasury connection
that will give them bread and butter
for two years, if the president so
wills it. The American people have
been we'll described as the most
conservative in the world. They
are slow to change. IF it had not
been so they would long ago have
changed the dates for the meeting
of congress, SO that their verdict as
expressed at the polls would have
speedy effect in legislation, as is
the case in Great Britain.

nUR1NG THE WEEKS that fairs
l. were held in Billings and Helena
and three young lads from our
community were showing q carload OF
pure bred pigs at these places, the
writer read in the papers of the state
many columns Of so-called news con-
corning the mischieyous and malicious
or criminal doings of boys throughout
the state and yet was unable to find
in any of the papers a single word
regarding the big things being done by
this group of youngsters. This set
him to thinking that it was time that
something be said along the line Of the
newspapers making a little greater eff
fort to chronicle the beneficent work
OF the young people throughout the
state instead of giving publicity to the
wrong being done by them. 1t is with
this idea in view that the author un-
dertakes to give a short review of the
history and accomplishment of the
Fairview Standard Chester White club
Of Chinook, Blaine county, Montana.
The Fairview Chester White club
was organized in the summer of 1921.
1t consisted Of five members, four
boys and one girl. We organized and
adopted a constitution and bylaws
regarding the work to be done and
the principles for which we were to
work. The main one expressed the
purpose to grow and develop the best
type of Chester White pig that could
be found anywhere in Montana, also
to strive to work out a cooperative
system of advertising and selling pure
bred hogs.
Raise. Money For Advertising
The first feature of our plan evil
IDENTIFY has worked out very success
fully, If we are to Judge by the win
nngs made by the members at vari-
Gus fairs during the last two years.
The cooperative selling plan, how
ever, does not appear to have worked
out so we'll, owing to the fact that
some Of the members seemed to have
had a little fear that they might not
be able to dispose of their hogs I'M
less they offered them at a low price.
One of the first features sought for
was to meet the rules required for q
standard club. This we INN ediately
proceeded to do. One of the rules for
these clubs requires the staging of
some special stunt on the part OF the
members. Our first undertaking in
this line was an effort to raise money
to pay for cooperative advertising.
This was done by getting the refresh
ment privileges at the farm bureau
community fair, which was held the
summer of 1921. This stunt Melted the
boys a considerable sum of money, and
put them on their feet in a financial
way, enabled them to advertise quite
extensively, to get into the selling
game on a small scale.

SLOW ACTING PUBLIC
OPINION.

THE United States held a on
4 gressional election on No
vember 7 last to ascertain the will
of the people on the issues raised in
the campaign. By no name of
means can that will be made effec-
tive before March 4 next, and if the
chief executive SO wills it cannot
be made effective until 10 months
after the election. 1t may be add
ed that he has publicly declared
his intention to keep the new CON
gress from assembling before a
year from now if he possibly can
do it.
About a week after we held our
election the British held a parlia-
mentary election for the same pur-
pose we held our congressional
election. 1t was desired that public
opinion express itself on the poll
cies of the government. In a few
days the new parliament will carry
out the mandates of the voters in
Great Britain, while in this coun-
try the new congress will have no
opportunity to legislate for another
year. Certainly public opinion is

The feature that adds the most in
terest, however, to the club-creating
a slight spirit Of rivalry and incentive
to Efforts thes "endless chain" idea
which provides the giving away of four
gifts as prizes for pig club work. Com
petition for these prizes is not limited
to this club, but is open to the whole
county and an evidence of the interest
taken in this feature is the fact that
the Chester White club this year has
something like Is members, six of
them being members Of the Standard
Chester White club of Fairview COM
unity.
Fairyiew Club Leads In Winnings
The idea of the "endless chain" was
worked out by former County Agent
M. A. Thorfinnson and f. Nj. Burkes
Of the Farmers National bank at Chi
nook. It provides that each winner of
a pig at the club fair shall give the
Farmers National bank a gilt the fol-
lowing year to be given as a prize.
This idea has worked out very well
but it has been found necessary to
limit the number of prizes to four,
otherwise we feel there would be no
incentive to work hard for success.
Since the "endless chain" plan was
instituted we have had three club fairs
to which the idea was applied, and it
is a notable fact that since the organi-
cation of the Fairview Standard Ches-
ter White club, its members have sue
ceeded in taking most Of the prizes.
The first year of its existence they
captured shree out Of the four, win
ming first, third, fourth and fifth.
places. This year they won all four
of the pigs.
The fact that the Fairview Chester
White club is trying hard to develop
the best type of the Chester White pig
seems to be verified by the fact that
in 1921 our pigs scored first, second,
fourth and fifth, while this year they
took first, second, third, fourth, fifth
and seventh places, which indicates that
when it comes to the type and quality
they are apparently successful in rails
ing a good type and since type is an
important factor in the purebred bust
ness, both for breeding purposes and
market, one can readily see that the
work of this club is wonderfully effect
i've.
Chester Whites Popular
The special stunt pulled off this year
was a pure bred hog show in connec-
ton with the club affair. In this we
were assisted by our efficient and pop
ular county agent, George w. Gustaf-
son, and we owe Jul success in a great
measure to his hearty cooperation.

AN OIL SECTION TODAY.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, the pro-
a posal came up at a confer
ence Of executives that The Trib-
n might perhaps perform a rea-
sonable public service if it should
issue a section of some Sunday
newspaper devoted to the oil de-
velopment of Montana. It was de-
cided that an earnest effort would
be made to collect reliable infor-
nation and produce such a news
paper. Several of The Tribune's
capable writers were given the
task and the Oil Section Of this
Sunday issue is the result of that
effort. AS soon as the issue was
announced, it became evident that
there was a demand for it because
voluntary display publicity began
Immediately to be offered.
The handling of oil news and in
formation is a new thing in this
state. We do not profess to know
all about how to do it. This news
paper, however, is endeavoring all
the while to furnish every bit OF
information which is reliable and
worthwhile regarding the impor-
tant petroleum industry that has
come into the state. It may be
said as we'll that we are not quail
fled to take on the role OF a
prophet, but really it does seem
that we are entering upon a rather
remarkable prosperity in this oil
development, such indeed as has
come to Wyoming and Oklahoma
and Texas and California. There
has already been a large investment
of capital which is welcome. The
steady production in the older
fields. as we'll as the many produc-
ing wells in the newer extensive
fields TO the north of US, certainly
give promise of a much larger JUS
titled investment during the ON
ing year than has already been
made.
The Tribune will do what it can
at ali times TO assist and make
known whatever may be accom-
plished while Montana strides for
ward to take its place among the
great oil producing states or the
country.

of the club. in 1921 decided that he
would fake some of his purebfeds
to the state fair at Helena, the other
members of the club being a little
dubious about cost, etc, decided not
to ioin him in this e%ndeavor. SO Car

few other breeders also sent some.
The bow was amply rewarded for risk
ing the enterprises by bringing home

Boys Influence Considerable
Encouraged by his success this year.,
fhe other members, clamored for an
opportunity to join him in this enter
prise. The boys this year. however,
decided to take their pigs to the Mid
lind Empire fair as well us the State
fair and. while this was rather a haz-
ardous undertaking from fine financial
standpoint, the boys decided TO try 1t
anyway and agreed to finance the en-
terpr.se themselves. They accordingly
left Chinook with a carload of fine
purebred Chester Whites and their
winnings at Billings and Helena amply
justified their faith in the quality OF
their hogs for they returned with three
silver cups, so or more ribbons and
something like $500 in cash prizes,
Charles Belched and Neroruyssen
brothers being the leaders. The grow
.ers of Chester Whites throughout
Montana may take this as an indica-
ton that they will have to contend
with them more or less in the future.
The influence upon the boys and
the development OF the hog industry
in Montana cannot well be estimated:
These boys have not only succeeded
in putting Blaine county and the Far
view community in particular on the.
map, but they have also taken the
proud place of leaders among the
breeders of purebred hogs in Mon

grating our type into virtually every
herd in Montana, since there is
scarcely a county that does not now
have one or more pigs of our breed
ings In addition to this it seems that
the boys have demonstrated the value
OF raising purebred hogs as an eco3
nomic and business proposition and the
fact that Blaine county, the home of
the Chester Whites of Montana, is also
taking a leading place in corn pro-
duction, might have some connection
with the work of this standard club of
the Fairview community.
1t should be mentioned in this con-
n%ection, that the Eairview community
is strictly a dry land farm settlement.
We have gone through the hardships
Of five years of drouth and two years
of grasshoppers, hail and other physi-
cal calamities and now since it seems
that nothing else can happen, we are
humbly awaiting the arrival of an
earthquake for 1923. Yet in spite of
the hardships and the poverty by
which we are handicapped, these boys
OF Fairview have taken the place with
the best breeders in the state in en-
terprise and progress. It seems, there
fore, only fitting and proper that every
inhabitant of the state of Montana
should have the privilege Of reading of
the accomplishments of this club so
that they may gain courage and re-
newed enthusiasm from the example of
the achievements of this group of
school boys.
Before closing it would not be out
Of place, I hope, to state the plans
adopted to establish the members of
this club in the breeding business.
Garland Whitman was the first boy in
bred Chester Whites. Mr.. Burkes Of
the Farmers National bank of Chi
nook, advanced him $40 with which to
buy a gilt with which he entered the
club contest. He succeeded in win
ming first place in this contest and
received as a prize a gilt given by Mr..
Burkes, and with these two he started
in the purebred pig business. The fol-
lowing year he enlisted the interest of
Gustaf and Julius Veiroruyssen and
Charles Belcher in the club work.
These, together with Beulah Will
man formed the group of the Chester
White club. Whenever any of the
boys were unable to buy their club pig,
Garland Whitman gave them one with
the understanding that he was to have
one-half of the litter the following
year. This plan worked out very well
and accounts in a measure for the sue
cess of the club.
Many farmers OF Blaine county, in
co-operation with the department. of
agriculture, are showing the way out
from under the burden of debt, dis
enlargement. and failure to the prom
ised land of plenty and contentment.

Owe is greater than faith or
- hope says the Apostle Paul to
the Christians at Corinth who were
given to disputing about doctrines
at Corinth. Charity or love is the
greatest power on all the earth,
ever was and ever shall be. Toll
rance is a shining virtue that walks
hand in hand with charity. Both
are commended by the apostle to
the church at Corinth. He said
to them, though I speak with the
tongues of men and angels, and
have not charity, / am become as
sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of
prophecy and understand all mys-
teries, and all knowledge, and
though l have faith Sc that I could
remove mountains, and have not
charity, I am nothing. And though
l bestow all my goods to feed the
poor, and though I give my body to
be burned, and have not charity,
it profiteth me nothing"
Thus the Apostle Paul preached
the supremacy of brotherly love
over all the other virtues. 1t is a
doctrine that greatly needs restate-
a>-& +oJ.,, W. ara ;,,r% ro~nunr
ing from a great world war in which
the doctrine of racial hatreds was
strenuously preached and the doc
trine of brotherly love cast aside.
Race hatreds, religious hatreds, So
cial hatreds, political hatreds-all
these arc in full propaganda today,
and they work evil and bear bitter
fruit. Love and liberty are greater
than these and they produce good
fruit.
A few years ago so violent had
BECOME the propaganda of hate be-
tween races that a citizen OF the
United. States who spoke a good
word for the German race was
liable to be mobbed or find him
self in Jail, and a man who walked
the streets of Berlin and spoke in
the English language was liable to
insult and perhaps assault. Race
hatreds were famed to a fierce
.heat deliberately b. propaganda
