lays Train No. 43

These days of below zero weather
and heavy snow storms are trying
one for railroad officials. Both Great
Northern and Milwaukee officials in
the Great Falls division offices are
busy trying to keep track Of trains
and are experiencing no tieups to date
worse than might be expected. Trains
are running late everywhere, but more
80 on the main lines.
Great Northern train No. 4S, west
bound, on Sunday was held up by a
bad snowslide in Glacier park and
forced to run back to Cut Bank with
its passengers. Here the travellers
were detrsined and held pending re-
suming of westbound traffic. The line
was cleared at s o'clock Monday after
noon. In the meantime, train No. 43
was rerouted east as No. a..
Several Great Falls people, among
them Mrs. Herschel Aver, were on the
train, enroute for the coast, and were
delayed "a hours before resuming
their western journey.-Tribune.

Farm credit Legislation received ir
congress an impetus which both re
publican and democratic leaders said
insured legislation in behalf of agri-
culturalists during the present ses-

Arrangements were made for i'm
mediate hearings by two senate COM

ficial senate farm bloc met and made
plans to press the credit extension
legislation.

TEACHERS OF STATE TRANSACT
MUCH IMPORTANT BUSINESS

The following article by the princi,
pal of the Cascade schools gives .
new angle to the matter Of additional
taxation for schools.
One of the most successful meet
ings of the Montana State Teachers
Association was held in Helena last
week. Fifteen representatives from
Cascade county attended. Besides
listening to number of inspirational
speeches given by Mary Louise Ar
nolds of Boston and Supt. Condor,
now of CINCINNATI and formerly of
Helena, the delegates conducted some
very important business.
A resolution to abolish free text
books in high schools was defeated
although there was division of
opinion. The association went on
record as favoring the plan to have
all interest earned ON school moneys
paid into the school funds Of the coun-
ties and state. At present all such
interest goes into the general fund of
counties and state. A detailed re-
port of the committee on School
Lands showed how in past years the
of the state had been robbed
of their birthright by crafty politi-
clans who had diverted funds prop
erly belonging to the schools. This
matter is to be fought by the teach
ers' association to the supreme court
Of the United States X necessary, for
the teachers feel that when the gov
ernment at Washington gave this
land to the schools they meant that
the schools were to have the benefit

Expect Receiver
for State Bank

Nothing favorable TO the reorgani-
zation of the State Bank of Belt has
as, yet developed.
Apparently receiver must be ap-
pointed soon. We hear that w. C.
Blomquist, who is associated with the
Stockman's National bank of Raynes-
ford is a candidate for the position
and that petitions are now being cir
culated among the depositors In his
behalf.
Of course our name Is not on that
petition because we were not q de-
positor there but, If we may be par
doned slight intrusion into other
peoples affairs, we believe no better
man could be found for the position
He is thoroughly conversant with the
banking business He has the conf
dence Of the depositors and he knows
local conditions.

CASCADE COUNTY LEADS STATE
in Federal Aid Road Mileage

Cascade county enjoys the distinc-
non of having greater mileage of
improved highways either completed
or in the course Of construction than
any other county of the state. Under
the supervision of the highway de-
psrtment So miles of state trunk high
ways have been completed and 26 ad-
ditional miles are now under construc-
tion. A project proposed for 1928
construction with length of ID miles
will bring the total mileage of i'm
proved trunk highways to go or about
Al per cent of the total trunk mileage
of 225 miles in the county. All of the
Cascade county projects have been
constructed with federal aid, local
money having been derived from a
100000 bond issue passed in 1919.
Cascade county was one of the pi-
oneers in Federal Aid construction.
They first requested federal partici-
patton in highway improvement in
1913 and in 1919 their first Federal
Aid projetc was placed under con-
tract when White, Brown and Leahy
were the successful bidders ON the
Great Falls-Sun River project with
length of close to 10 miles. Other
projects were subsequently placed
under contract and completed until at
the present time the following pro-
jects have been completed and ac-
cepted by both the state and Bureau
of Public Roads engineers and final
payments have been made:

The Cascade Ulm road, 1879 miles
in length is proposed for 1923 con-
struction at an estimated total cost
of $1S8,000
1t is of interest TO note that, with
out Federal Aid, the county's $780,
900 bond issue would have been al
most consumed with the completion of
the first SO miles of road had the con-
struction been of the same standard
as the Federal Aid projects which have
been built. Federal Aid has, however,
enabled the construction of "a miles of
adequately surfaced road and with the
completion of this mileage less than
100000 viii have been used.

TO MAKE HEADWAY IN LIFE
Conseorate and Concentrate, 10 the
Advice Given by Writer In
Forbes Magazine.

You want to make Roadway In the
world, of course. See II this thought
can help you: First, consecrate your
self to your calling; then concentrate.
The lives Of most men OF notable
achievement have been characterized
by conservation and concentration. Be
fore one can consecrate oneself, one
must be possessed by some bigger and
broader and better idea than mere
money making. There must be some
thing In the work that appeals to one.
The work must appear to be worth
while, worth effort and industry and
sacrifice. You could not, for exam
pie, conceive Of anyone consecrating
himself to "bootlegging." There isn't
one honest calling, however, to which
a worker could not consecrate him
self or herself II animated by the right
spirit. Having consecrated oneself to
line of endeavor, then concentration
must follow II proficiency and success
are to be attained.
The worker, be he employee or en-
ployer, who hasn't consecrated him
self to his calling falls to derive from
It that deep satisfaction known TO
those who have consecrated themselves
to their Jobs. Concentration follows
conservation naturally and with Joy
rather than hard effOrt.-FOrbes Mag
aZine.

Swiss Santa RInus Bell.

In the quaint little town Of 81. Gal

many Of Its curious medieval customs,
Santa Claus makes his visits ringing Il
gigantic cowbell. says Popular Science
Magazine.
In st. Gallen, every Christmas eve
twelve men array themselves In white
trousers and shirts, embroidered wool
suspenders, and bright red ties. Each
one fastens an enormous cowbell on
to wide leather belt, and covers his
head with an enormous mask Of card
board, the upper part Of which Is
decorated by stenclled designs.
One Of the twelve Is called "Sami-
chlaus." 1t Is his duty to give the good
children presents. The other eleven
remain at little distance on the out
skirts Of the jolly crowd that follows
them on their rounds, giving candy to
the grownups and entertaining every
body with their clowniDg.

FLOWER CHANGES ITS COLOR
Peculiar Quality Of Rose- Sharon
Distinguishes II From othsrs Of
Hibiscus Species.

The Rose-of Sharon is different from
all other roses In that 1t IL not a rose
at ALL but belongs to the hibiscus
genus Of Towering plants. Again, Il
differs from all other hibiscus because
its blossoms change their color three
times during single day. In the
morning, the petals OF this interesting
flower are pure white in color; by
noon they take on delicate pink tint
which steadily deepens to an old-rose
shade that at night Is tinged with n
purple hue.
The natural domain Of the Hibiscrh
Mutabills-as the Hose-Of-Shnron IL
called--ls In Asia Minor and the hilly
region extending from Syria to tho
Hlmalaya plateau. II has both single
and double flowers, the latter being
considerably lnrger than the former.
and very beautiful and snowy.
This variety is cultivated in Hawaii
and other warm countries for outdoor.
ornamental purposes-the slender,
graceful branches suspended with
magnificent pink, white and rose-col
ored blooms making It tree Of un.
usual decorative beauty and a con
slant delight to study.
