question conscientiously and sqparely
in the face must admit that ne and

ths state. When the legislature at
tempted TO ekhsr abolish the state
highway department, or at least cur
tail its scope and powers, strenuous
objections we're made from very many
sections Of the state. Gem county
was one Of the directors. We wanted
the Star-McCall highway, SO did
Valley county. Other counties wanted
roads, and the legislature aeceded to
the demands made upon them and
let the highway department alone.
We are nrmly Of the opinion that no
hope for reduced taxes can be ex-
pscted from either Of the two polit-
cal parties. The taxpayers them-
selves can only bring about reform
By demanding that all frillx be cut

|, Fiction. good. bad or indifferent, il
the demands of the Great Falls public
at the present moment. There is, OF
course, a class of readers that devour
light fiction the year around, Miss Ses-
TAX observed, but said she did not
depend on these for the signs of the
season no more than on another class
that reads Milton or Dante from one
season to the next. Summed up, what
she does mean IL, that the average
human being will at this time Of the
year find enjoyment and relaxation in
fiction tkCt may be of lighter nature
than is his winter choice of reading
matter.
Named as books that are etill very
popular were MAIN Street by Sinclair
Lewis. and When Winter Comes the
present best seller by A. s. NJ. Hutch
inson. the English novelist.
Those who are not reading fiction
10 the exclusion of all things else. are
inst now reading books on gardening.
Miss Sestak remarked. saying that
MANY come to the library to read the
gardening magazines and to draw out
Of the library books that instruct in
the gentle art of making things grow.
Radio Books Popular
Among these books that have been
widely read are "Woman's Hardy Gar
den" by Ely: How to Grow Vege-
tables" BY Green; productive Vege-
table Gardening by Lloyd; and in
order that romance may not be given
the 70 by entirely. Flower Gardening"
by VanBeck and Flower Garden by
Bennett are read by n number of pa
irons. who are interested in the home
beautiful. the city beautiful and other
such projects.
If there is at the moment a crAs for
information on any one subject it is
radio. Miss Sestak remarked as she
sorted out some magazines having ref
erence to this absorbing subject. Boys.
men. and old men are flocking to the
library to drink in the information on
radio that many Of the magazines are
now featuring. she said.

IN TWO DAYS
Commercial Club Drive Brings
Approximately $4,000
Into Treasury.

With a reported total of 100 new
members for the Commercial club, the
membership drive conducted by the
membership committee through rival
"driuing' teams came to an end Fri
day <ight, but some reports are yet to
be received and a few prospects missed
in the first drive will be visited today.
according to l.. E. Jones, secretary of
the club.
The Some Boost syndicate workers
came forward with a burst of speed
Friday and took the leadership from
the key-Win syndicate, drilling 100
feet to 93S for the losers.
How Score Is Figured
The basis of counting score on the
contest is IL feet for each member.
an additional foot for each dollar more
than $12 for the membership and a foot
for each dollar collected. Thus the
Some-Boost. under Robert Nathan.
general manager. gained victory al
though the number of memberships
stood 81 for the Some-Boost to 63 for
the Key-Win. The winning team col
lected 1898 in cash to 1882 for the
losers.

Officers of the Commercial club ex
pressed themselves as pleased with the
results of the two-day drive since it

LIBRARIAN Can TELL SUMMERS COMING:
PATRONS WANT LOVE AND ROMANCE

What is the difference between sum
mer and winter reading? This is a
question which presumably, vexed thou.
sands. 1t is probable that there have
been those even who have declared
there can be no difference. II SO they
have been too hasty in making their
decaAion, for there is decidedly a diff
Terence, as any librarian could tell
them.
At the Great Falls city library. Miss
Bessie Sestak, who gives 4oSt many
books to many patrons. says the signs
that the season for summer reading
is approaching are now in evidence.
The signs like many another are based

turns to thoughts of love-" for it's
fiction and more fiction that, spring
and summer readers are avid for.
Heavy Stuff IN Winter
During the long, gray days of winter
there be those who win sit by the fire
side reading ANYTHING from the die
~tionary to Socrates, Miss Sestak AYERS.
There are readers who read with the
deliberate. and ~foreformed intention Of
improving their minds and stimulating
their intellects. They feast on Ibsen.
Plato, Maeterlinck and Tolstoi. They
strive to be the first to delve into
H. g. Wells latest. For occasional
relaxation they read the works of some
of the grestef f%ictionists.
But with the coming Of the spring,
Laura Jane Libby. Eleanor II. Porter.
Rex Beach and Harold Bell Wright
are unearthed from the shelves where
they have been languishing, preserved
only by their own s%acchnrine qualities,
and get ready for a busy season. AT
least this is the inference that might
be drawn from Miss Sestak's observa-
tons. Summer is the heyday for friv-
olous fiction, but even If there are
those who will not come too far down
off their pedestal. there are non who
will not descend to depths of what in
their more uplifted winter mood, they
would call literary degradation.

Ex-Soldiers Seeking Health So

Says Legion Man.

The east is crowding the west and

that the situation is becoming serious,
according to n statement made by Off
GERS of the national service division Of
the American Legion. after an intens-

ter.
This survey shows that the western
states are unable tt take care of this
influx properly. In Phoenix, Ariz.,
the Legion declares, ii was found that
there is now one destitute tubercular

These conditions make it impossible to
accord patients the proper care that
they must have to get well.
Climate alone viii not make a sick
man well in the absence of good food,

and the cure of tuberculosis takes a
long time. The survey points the need

report. rarely means anything but a
waste of time and money for the sick
man.
THE patient himself bears the whole
misfortune" said Claude J. Harris. ma
tional service officer Of the Legion.
He starts west in his hunt for health
without considering his difficulties. On
his arrival be finds there is no light
work available that will keep him 60
ing. Relief agencies are overcrowded.
The man is alone and f~riendless. His
morale breaks down. And this spells
death for a tubercular. Far better
for him to stay in a less congenial
climate. where lie can still afford prop
