| Last Friday evening representatives
of several organizations whose cooper
alton had been invited by the local post
of the American Legion in the pro-
motion of Cleanup campaign for
Belt assembled at the club rooms of
the Knights of Pythias and prelim-
mary plans were made for a campaign
which it is believed will result in a
more slightly appearance for the city
as we'll as in more healthy commun-
lty. Present were representatives of
the city government, the city health
office the county sanitary forces,
the churches, the Camp Fire girls,
Boy Scouts. Leo c. Graybill stated
the object of the meeting for the Le-
gion and then called for expressions
of opinion from the various repre-
sentatives present, all agreeing that
the movement was an excellent one
and assuring their fullest cooperation.
County Sanitary Officer VIM. Shea
had come out from Great Falls upon
invitation from the Legion and told
of the objects and results of such
campaign as is planned. He gave the
meeting the benefit of his experience
in conducting similar movements at
Great Falls and at Sand Coulee, and
his suggestions are proving of consid-
cradle help in promoting the plans of
the campaign.
The movement was organized by the
of DIR. j. w. Graybeal as
chairman of an executive committee
to head the work and Leo c. Graybill
as secretary, the chair TO appoint three
other members of the committee, one
each from the city, the Miners union
and the merchants. Mayor II. w. Mil
lard was named to act for the city,
Stanley Spraines for the union and B.
f. McConizey for the business inter-
ests. Late Monday afternoon this
met and continued develop

of individual effort thereafter will ae-
complish the result desired. While the
big effort will be made on Arbor day,
the work of cleaning up premises of
tin cans, rubbish, etc, can start at
any time. Burn all which will burn,
being careful TO avoid any chance of
fire; gather the refuse into piles, in
che alleys if possible, on the streets
or in the yards il necessary, weigh
down so il will not blow around again
and on next Tuesday some vehicle will
pick It up and remove it. There will
be no charge for sthe moving of re-

piles are as easily accessible for load
ing and carting away as is possible to
get it. No attempt will be made 10

these that may be moved at the ex-
pense of the individual property

1t is important that private prem
ises be cleaned and the refuse gath
cred into piles for removal before next
Tuesday in order that the work of
hauling may begin as early in the
day as possible. The city team and
probably one or two other convey

there will not be a single person who
is physically able to do so but what
will expend some effort to help IL |

Democrats Slow to
Name Candidates

With the appointment of Gilbert F.
Body of Great Falls as county com
missioner to succeed Jesse r. Bennett,
deceased, there is considerable spec
ulation as to who will seek the demo-
cratic nomination for that office in
the primaries. So far Mr.. Boyd has
not publicly stated whether or not he
viii be candidate, though it is under
stood that he is being urged to do so.
Joe Barker, late register of the Great
Falls land office, is also said to be a
prospective candidate, and Thos. Cor
bally, late receiver of the land office,
has also been mentioned. But then
Mr.. CORDIALLY has been mentioned for
several places on the democratic ticket
including treasurer and sheriff, and it
is understood that he has refused to
stand for either the last two. His name
was also mentioned as a possible ap-
peiHtee to the office, but it is said he
had stated that even though appointed,
he would not seek the nomination in
the primaries.
Candidates for other democratic of
fices in the county are also slow to
come forward, VIM. Yarnal having
announced himself for assessor, and C.
w. Farmer and W. o. Grimes coming
out for the nomination for sheriff.
Monday Fred w. McMullen of Black
Eagle also filed his nominating petit
tion for the latter office.
Republican candidates continue to
appear, the petitions of Harold Mady
for assessor being circulated here last
week and literally signed. A repub-
lican candidate for the nomination for
county superintendent of schools has
appeared in the person of Mary l..
Gordon of Simms. She has been in the |
state II years, coming here from |
Duluth, where she taught in the city
schools. She taught at Waller before
going to Simms.
Dr. B. A. Place formerly county
physician, filed Saturday as eandi-
date for the republican nomination for
coroner.
Hugh M. Jones, a Great Falls rail-
road man, Tuesday filed his peptition
as candidate for the republican NOM

Regulated to conform with wage
scales in force in other counties Of
the same classification, the board Of
county commissioners last week
adopted wage scale calling for q
cut in the daily compensation of COM
mon laborers and of drivers with
teams. while other classes of labor
employed by the county are to con
tinue at the same wage allowed last
year. The new scale became effectivs

The 1922 scale provides for a re-
duction in the wage of laborers from
S4 to $3.50 and for a reduction in the
wage of team drivers from 81 to sc. .25.
The schedule of $5 DAY for truck
drivers, $3.50 day for caterpillar
men, and $3.50 day for foremen,
which was paid last year, win con-
'tinue in force during the present con-
structlon season.
The new scale effects only a small
force of men, the number being de-
pendent entirely upon the amount of
work being carried on by the county.

EXTENDING TIME OF THANKS
Each Day Might Be Made Season
for Expressing Gratitude for
Manifold Blessings.

1t is human nature to pay more heed
to things which discomfort us than
to those which contribute to our happi-
ness. The latter we accept as a mat
ter Of course and do not regard very
attentively until, perchance, we are
deprived Of them, when we promptly
number them among our regrets and
repine over them frequently.
II we were to devote five minutes
a day to recalling the things for which
we, as individuals or as citizens, have
reason to be thankful, we should find
ourselves much happier and the world
would be much easier to get along
with. In time, perhaps, we should find
our thankful periods extending them
selves and our periods of worry and
discomfort growing correspondingly
shorter.
This being the Thanksgiving time,
officially designated for review of
our blessings, it might be a good time
to inaugurate plan for being thank.
full for at least few minutes evory
day. One does not require to be a
Pcllyanna to accomplish this.

H0PEF0R PEACE
IN NEAR EAST
Turk ENJOYS, However, Receive
Instructions to Stand Pat
on Demands.
U. s. IS TAKING PART
Complete Accord Said to Have Been
Reached by All Delegates-Mus-
solini and VenizeIos to Look
After Italians and Greeks.

Lausanne-Hope that peace on earth
would result from the labors Of the
Near East conference was voiced by
the speakers at the brief opening ses-
sion.
This sentiment was voiced by
President Haab Of the Swiss confed-
Grafton, who presided over the opening
plenary meeting, and it was dwelt
upon by both Lord Curzon and Ismet
Pasha in their responses ON behalf Of
the numerous delegations.
The first days sitting required only
half hour and the businesa Of the
conference was not actively begun
until the second day.
Richard Washburn Child, ambassa-
dor to Italy, and Joseph G. Grew,
minister to Switzerland, the two prin-
clpal American representatives., were
seated prominently in the front row
Of the auditorium beside premier
Poincare of France, and received a
warm welcome from other delegations.
MussoIini Determined.
The prospects of American activity
IN the conference, which many of the
foreigners appeared to interpret as
the launching of new American
policy in Europe and the presence of
a strong delegation from Japan, gave
worldwide significance to the con-
clave.
Benito Mussolini, the new strong
man of Italy, with his air of alert de-
termination drew all eyes as he moved
to his seat not far from Vcnizelos,
whose activities and popularity prac-
tically forced the abdictation of
Grecian king and who was here to
apply all his. diplomatic skill to save
what he can for his country in the
peace with Turkey which the confer
ence is to formulate.
1t was announced that the estab-
lishment of a complete accord between
Premier Poincare, Lord Curzon and
Premier Nussolini on all matters COM
ing up in the conference was cele-
brated by dinner of 65 covers which
NJ. Poincare and the French delega-

representatives.
1t is understood that the difficulty in
satisfying Italy arose from the Italian
convention that in the treaty of Sevres
which the present conference must re-
wise, Italy's national rights in the Near
East were not sufficiently represented
and protected.
antnople-Although some prog
ress was made at a continuation of the
conference between the allied gener-
ais and Rafet Pasha, the Turkish ma
tionalist governor of Constantinople,
complete agreement was not reached
on the question of the standing of the
allied police.

.NEwBERRY RESIGNS SENATE

Washington.-Truman H. Newberry
has resigned as United States senator
from Michigan. Forwarded to Cover
nor Groesbeck of the state under date
of November IS. Mr.. Kewberry's letter
Of resignation, requesting that it might
become effective Immediately, was
made public here after copy had
been Transmitted to Vice President
Coolidge with the request that it be
read into the senate record as soon as
possible.
Although declaring in a review of
the long and bitter controversy over
his right to place in the senate since
his election over Henry Ford, his
Democratic opponent four years ago,
that this right had been "fuly con-
f1rmed." Mr.. Newberry in his letter
said he had been impelled to retire
from that body because of the defeat
of his Republican colleague Senator
Townsend, in the November Z cleo
ton. At the same time, in discussing
the controversy in its relation to the
campaign just closed, during which it
was an issue in many states, Mr..
Newberry expressed the conviction
that "fair analysis of the vote in
Michigan and other states where
friends and political enemies alike
have suffered defeat, will demonstrate
that general feeling Of unrest was
mainly responsible"
Before the case passed rs an issue
into the recent campaign the senate
had upheld Mr.. Newberrys title to a
seat by a margin of five votes, but it
appeared that the fight was again TO
be resumed early in this session Of
congress.

Blow. o Horn of Plenty. blow!

Banisher OF misery!
Tell the corn to journey far,
Find where hungry children are:
Find where eyes of sorrow stare
Into larders cold and bare.
Blow, o Horn Of Plenty, blow!
Make our thankful heart to know
Just how sweet 1t is to dwell
In this Land of All-goes-well.
Land Where, If one field denies,
We need only turn our eyes
To another. there to find
God has been lust doubly kind.
Blow, o Horn Of Plenty, blow!
Those a-hunser soon must know
That, though they have been denied,
We will seen them satisfied.
From a thousand fertile farms,
Borne by sturdy yeoman arms,
Will go gifts in such great share
Hunger cannot linger there.
Blow, o Horn of Plenty, blow!
Call the corn from crib and row;
Call the corn and bid 1t be
Banisher of misery!

Then still. small voice will say:

who Is not only extremely homely, but
who has unattractive manners. We
discussed her quietly.
Later we went to call on distant
relative of this girl. and mentioned
that we had seen her at dinner. The
girl was not favorite with my hostess
and both of us proceeded to enumerate
her shortcomings. My husband is deaf

Suddenly he turned to our hostess

STATE REAPS GREATEST
CROP IN ALL TIME

In addition to raising one of the four
greatest wheat crops in the history Of
the state, the largest crop Of rye and
unusually big crops Of barley, oats, and
hay, North Dakota this year raised
over a million bushels more corn, al
most double the amount of flax, and
over 100000 bushels more potatoes
than last year.
These figures are from the November
preliminary estimates of the division
of crop estimates United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Every crop raised in North Dakota
this year is greater than last year,
many of the principle crops being al
most twice as great, and all of them
are greater than the tive-year average.
Following are the figures on prcduc-
tion for 1922, 1921 and the fye-year
