It is understood that advances to
growers will be made at shearlng time
Of 20 cents a pound on Montana tine

Eastern Banks Pleased
Matt Staff of Chicago. formerly Of
Helena, president and general manager
of the National, is in Helene. en- route
to Butte where he will attend the
annual convention of the Montana
Stock Growers association which
opens on Tuesday.
THE bankers of Chicago. Mime
apolis and st. Paul are highly pleased
with the methods of operation of the
Montana Wool Acceptance company
last year" said Mr.. Staff, "and they
are more than anxious to extend to
the company the fullest support this
year.
''An energetic campaign will be con-
Quoted in Montana and other states
for the purpose of increasing the ton.
mage over 1928 total, which of itself
far exceeded all previous years.
Growers in Good Position
Montana growers are in an excep-
tionally good position at the present
| time for one reason because their 1921
crop of ewes is practically intact. That
the growers were able to retain their
ewes. instead of liquidating during
| financial stress, was due entirely to
the War Finance corporation, and the
| courage demonstrated by bankers in
Montana and the east in handling the
situation for the growers" Mr.. Staff

TWO TOWNS JOINING
To ISSUE PAMPHLET
BOOSTING SECTION
Harlem and Chinook Business
Men Compile Information
About Upper Milk River.
Special to The Tribune

Special to The Tribune.
Harlem, April 16.-At the regular
monthly meeting of the Commercial
club held Thursday night it was de-
cided to cooperate with Chinook in
getting out small eight page folder
advertising the opportunities Of the
upper Milk river valley.
A committee consisting of Fl. Fl.
Brooks and A. G. Middleton Of Chinook,
and r. w. Baird and II. G. Anderson
OF Harlem were appointed to prepare
the matter for this pamphlet and have
10000 copies printed.
Harlem Heads List
Secretary Baird reported that he had
sent the names of n farmers from
this section to the Billings office OF
the Montana Development association
as members of the state wide movement
of tillage clubs. These names repre-
sented 3.11S acres Of land which will
be summer titled this year. The in
dlvidual amounts signed up ranged from
on this list will receive series of five
letters from Hardy W. Campbell, the
originator of the Campbell system,
giving minute instructions for the work.
There are 66 clubs in the state and
Harlem heads the list with the greatest
number of members as we'll as the
largest acreage.
A communication was read from the
Malta Comm ercial club suggesting CO
operation in securing mail routes to the
Little Rockies Malta will endeavor to
get a mail route to Zortman and other
points in that vicinity and it was sug-
gested that it might prove probable
for Harlem to get a mail route to
Hays and the Mission.
Scenic Side Trip
A mail route over these roads would
mean that the roads would be put IN
better shape and therefore would be
better fit for travel at all times OF
the year. This plan would fit ideally
into the plans that have been worked
out before between the two towns max
ing the Little Rockies scenic side
trip for tourists passing through this
country Those east bound can take the
trip by going from Harlem and com
ing out on the main highway at Malta
and vice versa.
W. II. Reed gave short address
about his work the past two months
in the interest Of the Montana Devel
opment association promoting summer
tillage clubs in the northern part o.
the state. He is convinced that by thu
summer tillage method farming on thu
bench lands can be made success. ant
is of the opinion that Montana II
destined to become one of the creates
AGRICULTURAL states in the union al
soon as the proper methods of farming
are adopted.

and committee was appointed to
demonstrate to school authorities
all over the country the value Of
Arbor day celebrations to the
school and to the community.
As :. school festival the observ-
ance of Arbor day has spread not
only throughout the whole United
States, but far beyond its borders
In 1887 the educational department
of Ontario set aside the first Fri
day in May as a tree and flower
planting day. In 1896 the plan was
adopted officially in Spain. 1t
reached Hawaii in 1905, and is now
in vogue in all the dependencies Of
the United States and in Great
Britain, Canada, Australia, the
British West Indies, South Africa,
New Zealand, France, Norway:
Russia, Japan and China.
This year Arbor day will come
as a climax to the week set aside
by the president for bringing be-
fore the people Of the country the
need for safeguarding the forests
from damage by fires. Hand in
hand with protecting what timber
resources we have goes the task OF
replacing the vast number Of trees
that each year are destroyed by
fire or fall before the lumberjack.
Approximately three : fourths OF
the original forests of the country
have been cut over and unless
lands naturally best suited to pro-
duce timber are protected from
fire and more trees planted the
country will necessarily suffer
from a serious shortage of fores,
products.

The fame Of Barbizon as an ideal
artists retreat spread, and in few
seasons the peasant host had to con-
vert 4 barn into an inn to house his
eager guests. In the rush season for
outdoor sketching, artists even slept on
a large table for the privilege of get,

at three o'clock and watching the day

declared. "Had liquidation been forced
upon the growers. the situation now
would be very different from what it il.
THE bankers who stood by the
growers last year, and did not force
them to sell their wool at the specu-
lators' prices Of Is and II cents, are
not likely this season to force sales
Of wool at around 80 cents, in the
face Of the best outlook for higher
prices ever before experienced in the
industry"

Special TO The Tribune.
Conrad, April 16.-About 14O ranch
ers living on Carey Act land in this
part Of Montana have recently been
notified that they have preference
rights on oil and gas under their land.
The area thus affected is chiefly

NEW IMMIGRATION
RESTRICTION PLAN

I A N interesting contribution to
- the discussion Of the immigra-
ton problem is made by commit
tee of the Cleveland chamber of
commerce. It proposes the admis-
sion only Of immigrants "who will
make desirable citizens, at such
times and in such numbers as will
tend to contribute to our economic
growth, prosperity and our social
welfare" and to this end suggests
the esta ablishment of a commission,
to include the secretaries OF state
and labor, to regulate admissions,
with authority to fix the quotas
from time to time for each nation
ality or racial group, within a
maximum percentage applicable to
all groups. This suggestion is sim
liar to that made by Mrs. Lillian
Russell Moore, who proposes the
delegation Of such authority to the
secretary Of labor, says the Spring
field Republican.
These proposals, while suggest
ing at least a possible means of i'm
proving the quality Of immigration
or making it conform more closely
to the social or economic situation
in the United States at given
time, raise the question of i'm
partiality in the treatment Of
aliens. Whether or not the prin-
ciple embodied in the most fav-
ored nation clause" familiar in the
commercial treaties, would neces-
sarily apply, the possibility of un.
desirable developments as the re-
suit of arbitrary action suggests
itself. This passage from the
Cyclopedia of American Govern
ment, edited by Professor Nc
Laughlin of Chicago and Professor
Hart of Harvard. is apropos:
4
Although it cannot be said that
a foreigner has right to enter any
particular country, nevertheless
the: practice of admitting aliens is
so general that the exclusion OF
foreigners of particular nationali.
ties or of a particular religious
faith would be regarded as an un'
friendly act; although no serious
objection would be interposed tc
the exclusion of certain classes
among them, such as paupers
criminally insane persons, or per
sons suffering from loathsome ane
incurable diseases"
!, The three per cent restriction
law was framed in accordance witt
the tradition and policy above out
lined, and so far as the people o.
one group have been excluded il
! proportionately greater numbers
than those Of another group it hal

, racial, failure to meet the admis
