STREAMING AFTER PRIZES

Women who follow the social game
assiduously, remark on the intense
desire manifested by society folks to
win prizes at card parties and other
like competitions. A woman may
have her house well filled with silver
and bric-a-brac, but the offering of a
pretty spoon or sugar tongs will stir
the lust of battle in her heart. She
fingers her cards feverishly, her heart
thumps as she plays her hand, and her
whole being seems concentrated on
that insignificant trinket.
She a bear no interruption while
striving for this reward. She might
fail to notice a long lost friend if the
latter appeared at this terribly in
.opportune moment.
The men folks claim that their COM
petition for prizes in athletic events is
different. They are just as eager to
win, perhaps so. They often
leave work undone while absorbed
in sports, while women do not
usually neglect home duties for their
competitions. But the men care little
for the article offered as a prize,
which they speak of slightly if they
get it. Women's desire for the trophy
shows they have a touch of the bar
barrie left in them, and the CLINT of a
precious metal makes their hearts go
pit-a-pat.

CONSIDER THE WOODPECKER

Did you ever watch a woodpecker
as his head bobbed up and down while
ne tapped away at a roadside tele-
graph post? And did you even stop
to think what his pecking is all about?
He doesn't beat his little bill agains.
posts merely for the fun of the thing.
Insects are concealed in some seasoned
timber. They are not in all timber
and they are not in every spot of n
timber. But the woodpecker adopts
the theory that all of the seasoned
wood within his flight-zone territory
belongs to the field from which his
living must be gained.
So he just keeps pecking and peck
ing, here, there and everywhere, un-
til his little craw is filled and his APP
petite is satisfied. He doesn't sit on
top of the pole and say to himself.
"Oh, I'm sure there isn't a bug here.
so what's the use of wasting nv en-
ergy?"
To him the ~unexplored wood is OPP
PORTUN1TY. Instead of his waiting
for opportunity to knock at his door,
he knocks at the door of opportunity
extraordinarily finds a bug. If
he doesn't, he tries again. His in
stinct tells him that some place in the
world, are bugs. That's all the in
formation he wants. He just goes out
and finds them.
Never see him sitting on a limb and
asking, "Don't know where there's a
bug, do your"
The owl has acquired a reputation
for SURPRISING wisdom among birds.
He got that reputation while sitting
on the same limb all day. Meanwhile
the woodpecker hammered away on
that same old limb and dug up many
a juicy bug right from under the
"wise" old owl.
No matter how quiet business con
ditions are generally, you'll find a few
cheerful souls here and there who
have no complaint to make. They are
the woodpeckers in the business world
and they keep pecking away while
their drowsy competitor sits blinking

Pay Up Your Bills.


Do you know what would give a
stimulous to business in Great Falls
just now, that would help a lot, and
cost nothing? 1t is just this. If
every one, who has the mean to do it,
would just write a check and pay up
his bills, it would have a wonderful
effect. We mean the nan who has
the money in the bank, and will write
a check sometime this month, or next,
to pay such bills. Unfortunately, some
people delay paying their bills because
they have not got the money to pay
with, and they are waiting for the
other man to pay them so they can
pay their creditors. We are not ad-
dressing that class of debtors just
now, but the very considerable num-
bers of debtors who could pay but put
it off for n reason or another. They
will pay all right, but they want to
take plenty of time to do it. Every
business mar knows this class Of
debtors and often he curses them in
his heart while outwardly polite to
them.

Workers of the Billings Gazette
shivered for a few hours yesterday
while equipment for a changeover
from coal to natural gas az fuel
was being installed in the furnace
room, but shortly after the gas
finally was turned on the ground
floor rooms of the building were
comfortably warm again. A little
while later the heat from the Elk
Basin product roaring in the furnace
had climbed to the radiators of the
news department on the second
floor.
So despite the fact that one of
the rawest days of the year was
chosen to make the change, the
radiators in the building had hardly
become cold when the new fuel sup
ply was ready for the torch, and
once it had been ignited the furnace
manufactured heat in a way that
it had never done before. Aside
from the reduction in cost of heat
ing, the convenience of this fuel is
n of it's most attractive features.
A match, a twist of the valve,
steady fire of any desired intensity,
no ashes, no work, and warm!
No wonder Billings exhausted it

prospects for the balance of the win
ter and the coming winter.-Helen:

All three got jobs with the same
company, starting at the same pay.
Six years later n was receiving 500
a month; the second 5000 and the
third $500. Their father, hearing of
these salaries, decided to visit his sons
employer and find out why they were
paid on what seemed to be such an
unfair basis.
II will let them explain for them

button on his desk.
The summons was answered by Jim,
who vas receiving 800 a month.
II understand the Oceanic has just

cargo"
Three minutes Jim was back in the
office.
"She carries a cargo of three thou
sand ~sealskins," Jim reported. 81 got
the information from the first mate
over the telephone"
"Thank you, Jim," said the boss;
"that will be ALL"
He pressed the button again, and
Frank, the 5000 man, reported.
Frank, I wish you would go down
to the dock and get an inventory on
the Oceanic's cargo"
An hour later Frank was back with
a list showing not only that the
Oceanic carried 1000 sealskins, but
that she also had 500 beaver and 1,1OC
mink pelts.
The employer pressed the button a
third time and George, the $500 man
walked into the office.
He received the same instructions
his brothers had received.
George did not reutrn for tire,
hours and the office had closed for tn,
day, but his father and the boss wer,

FARM BUREAUS AND BANKING

Organized farmers and banking
should cooperate >on fair terms but
assaults on the Federal Reserve banks
and banking in general are based up
on some very unfair statements.
For instance, a State Organizer of
Farm Bureaus for Oregon tells farmer
audiences that the Federal Reserve
bank loaned the National City Bank
of New York $125, zoo, 900 at 5h per-
cent interest, while charging country
banks 87k percent interest for money
to loan to the farmers.
If this were true it would be just
cause for an uprising an a revolution
equafto the overthrow of Russia and
no n could blame the farmer, but
the trouble is it is not true. But it is
upon dissemination of such statements
that revolutions are brought about.
The naked truth about all loans
made by the Federal Reserve bank to
member banks or country banks gen.
orally over the United States is that
they did not vary one-half of one per-
cent in the rate Of interest charged,
and were absolutely discrimination.
The Federal Reserve system carried
the country rel a panic at the end of
the war and loaned more money to
country banks than to any other class.
The 87k percent the organizer talks
about was probably a dividend some
one Of the Federal Reserve banks
paid on it's stock from r~e-discounting
bank paper.
But that would be like saying that
a big business that makes two percent
on its turnover or sales each month,
made "a percent profit in a year,
which would be untrue.
The organizers statement is as I'M
fair and as untrue as his other state
ment that the banking system with
drew credit from the farmers after
their grain crops were planted in 1920
and 1921, and forced them to sell their
wheat at $1.OO a bushel in order to en-.
able the middlemen and spectators
to resell the same wheat to Europe a
$3.50 a bushel.
Admitting that the farmer has suf
fered more than any other one group
Of producers, including copper, lum-
Der, or sugar producers, radicalism
can only injure the farmer and i'm
peril the commercial and industrial
stability of our whole country by So
cialistic propaganda.
Farmers organizations for cooper
ative marketing and buying are good
organizations and only suffer when
they follow socialistic and communis-
tic tendencies that always in our coun-
try lead to ruin.
But the old Greenback idea of sup
plying him with cheap inflated money,
or raising the postal savings bank
rate and loaning it direct to farmers
on warehouse receipts, is North Da-
kota political junk.

Meat From Up North.

About II years ago an article ap-
peared in the National Geographic
Magazine, written by it's editor, pre-
dieting that within Is years there
would be more than 100000 domestic
reindeer in Alaska, the descendants of
1880 animals then recently imported,
and that within rs years reindeer
meat would appear on the American
markets. The publication of this ar
t1cle was greeted with a storm of ridi-
Guile especially from Alaska, many of
the residents of which had no ade-
quate conception of the and

possibilities of the territory. At the
end of the Is years, the 1880 rein
deer, instead of having increased
merely to 100000 had increased to
more than 100000. The estimated
number at present is 225,0O0 for they
double themselves every three years.
The meat instead Of appearing on
American markets 10 years from now,
appeared five years ago. At least TO-
900 reindeer steers are now in North
western Alaska ready for butchering,
but lack of cold storage facilities may
prevent the shipping of more than
5000 to 5000 to Seattle. At last years
prices the 10000 are worth 1870, 900
at Nome, and will be worth 5000, 900
when they get to Chicago, the increase
in price covering both freight and the
profits of middlemen.
Stefanson, the Artic explorer, dis
cusses in the current Worlds Work the
possibilities that lie in Alaska and the
vast possession in the Dominion of
Canada for the production of the
worlds meat supply in the future. He
sees these boundless plains supporting
herds of reindeer. These hardy ami
mails do not require shelter, nor do
they have to be fed during the winter,
but take complete care of themselves.
Not only do they multiply rapidly but
their meat is as good as beef, and
many prefer it to beef. The Canadian
government has been taking a great
deal of testimony concerning the
north, and S~tefanson looks for an
extensive movement from that gov
eminent toward developing and pro-
tecting the reindeer industry.
Mr.. Stefanson's long experience
and extensive travels in "the frozen
north," covering a period of 10 years
qualify him to speak as an expert
and when he says that a large part Of
the worlds meat supply may be drawn
from the Arctic regions he offers
solution of what economists regard a.
one of the great problems of the moi
distant future.-Anaconda Standard.

BILE moment doing anything that has
to be done. They could pay their bills
promptly on the first days of the
month, but they put off checking them
over until the very last days of the
month. Often they let them go over
to the next month and put their cred
itors to the expense of making out
another bill and mailing them a re-
hinder of negligence. We are not very
much given to admiration for the
work of the average reformer, but
if some reformer would put his zeal
and energy into a movement to pro-
mote the prompt paying Of all bills,
where the debtor has the means at
hand to pay, we would feel like taking
off our hat to him, and we are sure
that most Of our business men, both
wholesale, retail, and professional,
would rise up en- masse and cheer him
along the thorny reform path.
One such reform effort was launch
ed according to our recollection a few
years ago, but it did not work very
efficiently, and it died down. We be-
lieve it was called "pay up week" or
something Of that sort. The New Year
is said to be a suitable time for good
resolutions. Why not sit down to your
desk and grab a check book and pay
up every bill you have received that
is unpaid and correct, provided your
bank balance is sufficient to do the
trick. That is a good way to start
the New Year, and you would be IT.
