ROUND TRIP TO STATE
FAIR FOR ONE FARE

Helena, Sept. 21.- The financial
problem which may prevent many
Montana families from spending their
vacation at some popular summer re-
sort will not mar the pleasures of
the states great holiday week at the
state fair at Helena, September &c
to 80.
State Fair officials, railway COM
panies and civic organizations are
sparing no effort to cut the necessary
expenses of visitors to a minimum in
order to enable them to enjoy the five
big days full of fun and tremendous
spectacles of Montana's industries
free from worry of financial matters.
The railways of the state have an
nounced that they will carry visitors
from outside of a $50 mile radius of
Helena to and from the fair for the
price of a one-way ticket. Within a
$50 mile radius fare and a third for
round trip rates are in force.
Street car fares from the city to
the fair grounds have been reduced 80
per cent and the Helena Commercial
club will have an extensive list of good
rooms throughout the city where Wis
itors may comfortably and inexpen-
sively share Helena's genial hospital
ity.
At the fair grounds are huge dining
rooms, clean and sanitary, which will
provide appetizing home cooked meals
at a 40 per cent reduction in prices.

From Our
Exchanges
Is Another Great War Impending?

Is Another Great War Impending?
The CHASTITY massacre of Christians
by the Turks in Smyrna coupled with
the sweeping success of the Turkish
army, has created a most alarming
situation in Europe. One need not be
deeply versed in international affairs
to forsee another big European war
in which our own country might easily
become involved. A considerable num-
Der of Americans were included in the
horror at Smyrna and, of course, the
government of the United States must
take stern cognizance of that. Hun
dreds of Europeans of different ma
tionalities were also among those
slaughtered, demanding reprisal from
these governments upon Turkey.
Meanwhile, the Turks are ina strong
position. They have not only accom-
plished a complete rout of the Greek
army, but from reliable accounts they
have the support of Bolshevik Russia
while the attitude of Germany is more
than sympathetic. 1t is not surpris-
ing that the Turks are firm in their
demand that the allies must restore
Turkey to the Turks as it existed in
1914, or the beginning Of the Great
War. Otherwise, the allies must fight
Turkey and that would mean another
great war which would be difficult
from the viewpoint of the allies on
account of the discomfort in their own
countries.
For centuries the Turk has been a
problem in Europe. At the conclusion
OF the Versailles conference it was be-
lieved that the Turk, banished to his
possessions in Asia, had been disposed
of for all time. That was a poor
guess.
Whatever may be said Of the Turk,
it is true that he is a brave fighter.
In the war with Greece the Turks have
developed a remarkable general, Mus
stpha Renal. The war progressed
with little interest in the outside world
until the Turks, after a series of
sweeping victories over the Greeks,
found themselves near Constantinople
and seemingly within easy reach of
their ancient capital. Now comes the
massacre in Smyrna which sends a
shock to the civilized world and which
will not be satisfied until the Turks
are made to pay dearly for the out
rage.
No seer can fortell the immediate
results, but all must agree that it is
the most critical situation that has
arisen in Europe since the war.-Mis-
soulian.

becomes more apparent.
One of the first hard surface roads
laid in Oregon was put down in 1919
from near Portland to Hillsboro, a dis
lance of eleven miles, at a cost of
1929, 724. Concrete was laid 5h inches
thick at the edge and 6h inches in
the center. Within one year after the
road was built it began crumbling at
the expansion joints and at the end
of three years it is being repaired and
rebuilt over it's entire length.
Engineers differ as to the cause of
deterioration. Some claim improper
mix, others faulty s%ubgrade, improper
materials, too heavy traffic and nu-
merous other reasons.
Concrete is one of the greatest ma
terials that was ever invented for the
use and benefit of mankind. Like
every other material, however, it has
it's advantages as we'll as its disad-
vantages for certain classes of work.
1t is not a material that will stand
continuous pounding or bending. Hun
dreds Of miles of concrete roads have
been laid, however, in western states
with apparently no thought of results
that would follow the continuous pound
and impact of present day traffic. 1t
is unfair to the taxpayers and it is
unfair to concrete to subject it to
conditions which mean it's sure des-
truction.
If a concrete base is used in road
construction it should within a year
or so be covered with a wearing sur
face of some bituminous character
which will absorb the traffic impact
and prevent capitalization of the ex-
pensive concrete base which is sure
to follow as a result of the thousands
of triphammer blows that are delivered
against it constantly by passing We
hicles.
This question of road construction
is no longer a matter of likes or dis
likes, of prejudices or opinions. Ex-
perience has demonstrated certain
facts. 1t is unfair to the taxpaying
public to refuse to recognize these
facts. One fact that has been demon
strated above all others in modern
road building is that an unyielding
misunderstanding type of pavement
will not give service commensurate
with it's cost of construction.

AGED SADDLE HORSE IS
PENSIONED FOR LIFE

Livingston. - Old Dan, 16-year-old
saddle horse of the late James j. Hill,
is on his way to spend his remaining
days on a Park county ranch near this
city, with nothing to do but eat and
sleep. The horse, favorite of the late
railway king, was rescued from the
sale block and the fate of becoming
just a good old work horse by the
"empire builders" youngest son, Wal
ter J. Hill, who left here hurriedly
last week when he heard that Old
Dan was to be placed on the auction
block.
Young Hill paid $500 for Old Dan
and rode him around the auction sta
BILE for a few minutes. Then he
jumped to the ground, exclaiming:
SWELL, that's the last time anvone
ever gets on Old Dan. He's through.
I've chartered a special car for him
and away he goes to old Park county
in Montana to live the life of Riley"

.SWANVlLL ELECTS
WOMAN FOR YOR


!. Although Tuesdays election was ..
compa atively quiet afffa f,so- fur as the
townships and villages generally were
concerned, at least one village had an.
interesting contest and as the result
of it has the distinction Of being FIRST
in this county as we'll as in this section
of the state to elect woman mayor
and a woman trustee or council mem-
ber. That village is Swanville. The
vote there was an unusually heavy one,
practically every man and woman in
the village voting. Mrs. F.. a. Flood
was elected president of the village
council and Mrs. Louise Muedeking
was elected trustee. " 5
In February, the Women 8 Civic I'm
provement Club of that village voted
to put up two candidates for the coun-
Gil at the spring election. The two
women elected were selected. At a vii.
lage caucus held last Saturday, both
women were nominated. Dissatisfied
with the results Of the caucus the de-
feated men got up an independent tick
ct, j. J. Smith, present mayor heading
same and w. J. O 'Tooley opposing Mrs.
Muedeking. At the election Tuesday
Mrs. Flood received 103 votes for
mayor and j. j. Smith received 81.
Mrs. Muedeking received >95 votes and
Mr.. Tooley 81.

STUART SIMS ELECTED CAPTAIN
4 OF 1922 DUBUQUE ELEVEN !.

Stuart Sims Of this city, who at
tends Dubuque university, Dubuque,
Ia, was honored by being elected cap
tain Of the 1922 football team of that
school at meeting recently OF the,
letter men of the university. His
many friends in Little Falls are indeed
glad to see him thus honored. Follow
ing are excerpts from, an article IN
Dubuque paper regarding Sims selec-
tion 70 pilot the 1922 eleven:
"The record which 'Tiny" has es-
t;tblished for himself at the local UNI
versity is shown by the fact that he
was all-conference tackle last fall, and
was unanimously chosen to pilot next
years squad. Sims could always be de-
pended upon to tear hole in the line,
and it took a real opponent to budge
him out Of his place on the defensive.
Sims IS popular man among the fel-
lows because of the fact that between
his broad shoulders he has big con-
genial heart, and he is always willing
to play the game fair and clean. Un-
der his guidance next years gridiron
machine should be winner.'
