One Of the most striking examples
of herOism that have come to the
attention Of the American people dur
ing this year is that of the miners of
Jackson, Calf, who worked so fran
tically and earnestly to rescue the
fcrty-seven men that were entombed
at the Argonaut mine. Those Of us
who are familiar with mining appre-
ciate the dangers that confronted the
miners In their frantic rush to break
through the wall Of rock in order that
they might, if possible, rescue their
comrades. Dangers Of cave-ins, pre-
mature explosions, deadly gases, and
other things that would cause any
man to think twice before essaying
the task--yet never for moment did
any of these heroes falter.

Because it is the commonest of our
fruits, the apple has never seemed to
come in for all the appreciation it
deserves. To be sure, it has always
had it's boosters, who repeat the apple
day motto, and probably live up to
it in dutiful sort of way. But most
people have been just taking the
nipple as matter of course, something
that we could almost always get when
we wanted it, or when there wasn't
anything more jazZy to eat. If we
had to hunt for our apples a little
morea perhaps we would begin to
think more of them as one of the best
tasting fruits ever created Eve GER
tainly wanted her apple; and, if it
was forbidden fruit now, instead of
one Of the -good-for-you edibles, we
would regard it as the choicest dainty
on the menu.

A good deal of nonsense is talked
about the future of mOtorless giders.
A French officer predicts that within
five years these machines will be able
to cross the Sahara desert in a single
day. The Sahara desert is not less
than 1900 miles wide in straight line
east to west, and from north to south
500 miles. Either way the flight
would be formidable to the fastest
airplane. The enthusiasm of this
prophet has no more basis than the
tests made by the French and Ger
mans at ClermOnt- Ferrand and IN the
Wasserkuppc Describing the long
flights of eagles and vultures "simply
by using the air currents" he says
that "the power that birds can use
man can use" This is to overlook the
fact that birds are designed and
musced for flying. BY instinct they
adapt themselves to every change in
the elements in which they pass much
Of their lives.

. The United States forest service
says that e.s per cent of forest fires
are caused by lightning, 149 per cent
by sparks from locomotives, 1877 per
cent by campers, and 1875 per cent
are incendiary. OF these four chief
causes, only one is beyond human con-
troll; yet nearly s1s,OoO,OO0 worth of
timber and other property is destroyed
in forest fires in America each year.
Which seems rather high price to
pay for the questionable luxury Of
heedIessness and indifference.

When the Bows and Girls library

When the Boys and Girls library
was opened in Toronto the other day
something was done which could we'll
be duplicated in many cities Of the
world. The great need for just such
an institution is apparent when it is
recalled that whereas in 1909 the boys
and girls of Toronto borrowed fewer
than $4,000 books from the public
libraries; in 1921 they borrowed more
than 100000, and doubtless such fig
ures could be reproduced elsewhere.
This Toronto library has young peo-
pies room and high school section.
Little by little the children of the
world are coming into their own.

BACK TO THE SOIL

We are~told that there has been q.
genuine back-t -the-soiI movement in
Russia this year, as a result Of the.
sending of American corn to that
famine-stricken country. If this is
true, we may feel that American
charity has accomplished a much big
ger thing than simply the saving of
the lives of some thousands Of Rus
slams. We, are told by one Of the
supervisors of American relief in a
famine-stricken district that villages
have grown up over: night in sections
where only weeds were, fourishing
formerly, built by the people return
ing from the cities, whittier they fed
in panic when the famine came. They
have built themselves crude. earth
houses, like the sod houses of the
American pioneers, just enough to
cover themselves while they raced
against the short Russian summer to
produce a crop from the seed which
America provided. The arrival of
American corn not only checked the
flight of the people into the already
overcrowded cities and towns, but
started many people back to the coun-
try to build themselves homes and
farms again. This is just what Amer
lea hoped to accomplish by the send
Ing of corn to Russia.

Maybe it will work out this way:
The high cost Of coal will make peo-
pie more economical with it; such
economy will lessen the demand, and
the lessened demand may cause a de-
cline Of price. It's a long road to
travel, but it may be the only one.

who Il months ago refused S1.ooO,OOO
from the estate of his father, the late
James A. Garland, Of Boston, on the
ground that it would be inconsistent

Hamilton Garland, his younger
brother, has also reconsidered and
will accept his legacy. according to
James Garland, the oldest brother.
Charles Garland said he still
thought the property system against
which he revolted year ago was
wrong, but he concluded that he
ought not to continue to refuse the
money and allow it to lie idle. He be-
lieved it should be put in circulation

Amundsen Hopes to
Make Predictions True
Year Ahead.

years Captain Roald Amundsen, arctic
adventurer and discoverer Of the south
pole, expects to return to civilization
from the north pole in possession of
the knowledge and power that will en-
able scientists to predict weather con-
ditions for a year or more in advance.
Captain Amundsen, who arrived here
Monday night from Seattle, is enroute
to Washington, d. c.. where he will
discuss with directors of the Carnegie
institute details of his renewed at
tempt to drift across the top Of the
world in his ce-bound craft.
Study Air Reaches
With him he will take instruments
for a super scientific study of the up
per air reaches of the polar regions.
He says he will attempt to work out
the theory of Professor Wilhelm Bjork-
nes. of the University of Christiania,
Norway. that the weather conditions at
the north pole govern the weather of
the remainder of the earth's surface,
and that an intimate knowledge of the
farthest north weather Temperament"
will enable scientists to determine for
a year or more in advance, more or
less exact chart of weather conditions
in the remainder of the world. If this
is accomplished, he said, it will prove
an inestimable boon to the world S
crop growers.
Adopts Two Daughters
The explorer brought to New York
two adopted daughters, members of the
Tsjuktsji tribe of Siberia. They are
the first of their people to visit the
United States.
Captain Amundsen said he adopted
the two when he found them starving
with their tribe near Wrangel island
They will leave in few days for
Christiania. where their foster father
has arranged for their education.

Thrifty Bavarians
Seeking Tombstone
Market in France
Special Cable to The Great Falls Tribune

Special Cable TO Inc 6fedt Td"s '''o""o
Paris, Jan. 9.-it has been SAID
that your typical BavarIan is NOT
equipped with the imaginative un-
derstanding that helps people to ap..
preciate the reactions OF other ana
different people. A number OF
French dealers In statuary, monu-
ments and the like are fairly hold
ina their respective heads between
their respective pairs OF hands IN
almost increduIous establishment at
the curious psychology OF a Bavari-
an dealer in marble.
He sent-and is still sending
circular letters to prospective
French purchasers telling them that
"under separate cover you Will find
pictures of some of our sample
headstones and monuments which,
because of the present rate Of ex-
change can be set down at the
border at extraordinarily low
prices. Assuring you in advance OF
the pleasure your orders would give
me, present you, monsieur, the
assurance of my perfect esteem"
A great part of the present
monument business in France is
being done on orders from those
wishing to honor the memory Of
some ons of the million and a half
Frenchmen killed during the war.
The Bavarian firm has so far made
no sales.
