Fifty-eight per cent Of ali the
ice used in the United States il
now manufactured, In preference
to being harvested from lakes or
streams. Undoubtedly the popu-
lar preference for manufactured
ice La due TO its superior cleanli-
ness, freedom from germs and its
uniform quality.
The water from which the Ice h
made Is specially prepared by
filtration, thus eliminating all for
eign matter. Heavy, galvanized
cans r then filled and immersed
in brine, kept at a very low tenn
perature. About forty-eight
hours is required to freeze this
water to q clear and transparent
block of ice weighing fully 300
pounds.
A travelling electric crane lifts
these blocks and conveys them TO
a refrigerator delivery room,
where the temperature is always
maintained at a point well below
freezing.
Ice plants r operated in Bill
lings, Butte, Great Falls, Helena,
Miles City, Lewistown and Mis-
soula. The total output of these
plants amounts to approximately
72,000 tons per year.
The ice making plants and
creameries of the State are uni
versally operated by electric
power. For such service as was
furnished by The Montana Power
Company these industries paid in
1920 the sum Of $41, 1886. 90. Of
this amount "A, 54e- 96 was paid in
State, County and City taxes.

Although Montana makes $780,
900 pounds of butter per year,
employing 525 persons, this is
scarcely enough TO supply the
home market and about a million
pounds are imported each year
from outside the State.
But what the State hacks In
quantity, it makes up in quality.
In November, 1921, Montana but
ter won the Silver Medal at the
Western Dairy Products show at
Portland, Oregon.
The sample that won the score
of 90, out of a possible 100 for
manufacturing, sailing, color,
body and package, was made by a
Montana concern, the largest of
It's kind in the State. This sample
was taken at random from a
churning containing 1902 pounds.
A montana creamery had the
distinction of supplying the q. 8.
Navy at Ban Diego, California,
during 1921 when several carload
shipments were sent to pass the
critical examination of Uncle
Sans experts, who insist upon a
high quality product, capable of
lasting On cruises covering nine
months or more.
Incidentally, the price of butter
averaged 201ac per pound less to
the manufacturer in 1921 than in
1920.
Of the sixty-two creameries in
the State, the largest has an annu-
al output OF 100000 pounds per
year.

about like the Stanford Leader gives example
of above. We have noted too, that when an ex-
ceptonally good play is made by the home team.
that very seldom chrp is heard from the grand
stand This is calculated to the players to
become disintorested and Indifferent They figure
that If the home people do not appreciate their
efforts it is useless Boost the home team. Make

as badly as anybody. but there is use to rub Il

IN THE OTHER FELLOWS SHOES

ln the other fellows shoes or what people
would do II in some other mans business place.
is soncthing that none OF think about serious.
~ as Ne might at least We are led to believe this
from observation and experience with people. Es
peciay have we found this true in the newspaper
work We have on certain occasions omitted things
from the columns Of the paper. feeling that by do
ing so we have done a Christian act, and have kept
the stain from spreading and becoming
slightly blot the character OF some unfortunate
person and those most interested have appre-
cated il very much. and have gone on mending
their ways and possibly have become upright, hon
est people while If their mistakes had been parad
ed before the public they might not have ever been
able to overcome the opinions formed While on
the other hand lot OF people blame the newspaper
for not doing this and not doing that We are
often approached with question something like
this Why didn't you publish the story OF that
scandal that was committed and like questions
We have sometimes when we felt just right
answered with this question; II il had been your
family your boy, your girl, would you have
wanted the truth to have been told about IT. 1t
anything was saidp To this usually receive
a Mortified look and if answered at all they were
very positive that they would not have had II re
ported for anything 1t all depends upon whose
OK is gored as to how a great many people feel
about it if it were you. If you will do that, nine
wonderful difference. Oh that we would take
the other fellow into consideration What
a wonderful change there would be in this world.
People do not give enough time to good honest
thinking or thought as they should, which accounts
for much uncalled for criticism. and injustice in
many instances Just think OF being in the other
fellows shoes. and think Of how you would feel
about it if it was you. If you will do that nine
times out of ten you will not be so bold in your
desires to have the other fellows faults. weakness
and misfortunes paraded before the public, and
there would be great decrease in the amount Of
grief and troubles that often result by misunder
standing of the truth. Try this the next time you
must critcise or cuss the newspaper editor or
porter for not doing things that you would
not do yourself.

DO WE WAIT TOO LONGp

Laymen of the Baptist church. accompanied by
a number of people from other denominations, went
to the county jail last Sunday afternoon and held re-
eious services for the benefit of the prisoners There
is nothing wrong in this-fact OF the business we
look upon it as a commendable act. and no doubt
the service impressed those prisoners than any
that they ever attended but the question arises in
our mind Do wait too long to become vitality in
terested in the lives of boys and girls and their
Christian welfarep We believe do and for that
reason our jais contain larger number of young
men than they otherwise would. Ii is well and good
to become interested in the souls of those who are
unfortunate and have gotten behind the bars, but
how much better it would have been to become as
vitality interested in them others. who may turn
out equally as unfortunate from own community.
unless there is some means Of checking the present
trend Of the young folks OF this city This is ques
ton tina, certainly deserves consideration at the
hands of the parents of this city than they giving
it, OF course it is always the other fellows children
that are bad but your child must associate with the
other fellows children too. therefore behooves US
to become interested in neighbors and their chill
dren Think about this and do not wait for some
dire calamity to befa you your neishbors chil-
dren before you become interested in the correction
of their wrong doings. Make the community good
place to raise your children and your neighbors
children and the necessity for such axeiy and grief
will not exist.

SENSITIVENESS

Sensitiveness. such an abnominabe thing it is
when applied to some people. SensItlveness makes
fools of some people. Ii makes others ridiculous
I, makes some pitul. Some folks are always go
ing around with their feelings all tuned up TO a
point where the least little thing will touch them off,
and they imagine that such and such thing IS
done because Of personal matter They think
somebody has got it in for them. We presume
that the newspaper man hears this more than any
other one class of folk-we hear it every hand.
We hear il every issue OF the paper IL IS imposs'-
bic for newspaper representing city OF the
size of Lubbock report everything that happens
and report it correct. yet we are bounced upon
by what most people believe intelligent men and
women who want to know why certain things were
not printed and wonder who has it in for them
down there" Now somebody will get their back
up" about this. because it has not been three days
since this actually happened. Just because certain
things failed to show up. Just they thought they
should they knew that had grudge
at them personally, and it goes This Just
shows Just how far some peoples imagination can
carry Them and how innocent people are often
wrongly accused. Newspapers are probably the
broadest institutions in the world. They are tar
from being narrow-most OF them. They give I'M
eolored news items abou, people who are lar from
being friendly TO them. and without prejudice. and
that is much more than can be said about indivi-
duals in other lines OF work OF professions. Few
people know the workings OF a newspaper. and
how the copy and material for newspaper Is as
scmbled hence they do not understand and while
they may be honest in their beef-yet We doubt
the sncerity OF ninety. nine percent OF them They
cause newspapera a lot Of Inconvenience and un
pleasanness BY their attitude toward Us. The Ava
Ianche would be glad TO have the people come to

LUBBOCK AS A FAIR TOWN

Lubbock is to be the future Fair town of the
South Plains This is recognized fact. by hit

only town on the South Plains that has perman-
ent fair organization, and has permanent buildings
and equipment The people OF the various towns
and counties look forward each year to the fair
at Lubbock and in the counties where arrange
ments are being made for county fairs, the dates
ar. being set so as not to conflict with the South
Plains Fair at Lubbock and with view OF com

sibty of providing adequate buildings, pens, and
such like to take care Of the demands Of the coun-

tons of going beyond county proposition, and
hence we are looked upon the place where a
real South Plains Fair will be built Lubbock is
the place to have and in order for us to maintain
this fair we must have funds and the close co-opera-
