THE NATURAL CONCLUSION

1t is probably not too early for Montana voters TO take some
thought i'm the matter of choosing a candidate for the Ohlteo
states senate to succeed Senator Myers, whose term expires TINS
o No indications are yet visible that any particular Doomlets
have been launched, although the recent visit OF congressman
Carl Riddick to his home state has caused some comment among
the administration papers in regard to his possible candidacy.
There has also been some reference to the possibility OF Senator
Myers being a candidate to succeed himself for the senate on the
democratic ticket. Undoubtedly he is the strongest contender IN
that party and carries the hope of a friendly feeling among the
republicans for his attitude in the last state campaign IN DenalI
of Governor Dixon in order to defeat the Nonpartlsan league
While Senator Myers gained the good will of the republicans,
naturally he lost something in certain sections of the democratic
party. ~ IN boa+
In the present political aspect, naturally Montana will be best
served by the election of a republican senator, and so FAR as SEN
timent has been expressed locally by leading republicans, the pos
sible candidacy of Congressman Carl w. Riddick is looked upon
as the most logical outcome to the political situation. He has
people he represents. So far as we can discover, he is not dom
mated by any faction or special interest. He is a farmer and has
no Qualifications for entrance to the millionaire club He owns
no political organ to boost for him, and has no political machine
behind him, except the voters of his district, who apparently ap-
preciate the hard work and efficient service he has rendered IN
behalf of Montana and the people he represents. HIS record IN
this regard is equal to that of any of our former representatives
and surpasses most of them. With that record and the fact that
he has a close personal friendship with many of the leaders IN
the Harding administration and an experience OF tour years IN
the house of representatives during which time he has always
taken a decided stand on all matters affecting the best interests
of the people of his own state, Mr.. Riddick will be a formidable
opponent to any candidate that may appear on the political nor
lion.
In his own district where he is best known, Mr.. Riddick has
the entire confidence of the voters, as shown by his running
ahead of his ticket in all elections where he has been a candidate
for office This alone will have a weight with republicans In Sc
lectinp their party leader at the coming elections.

OUR DAILY BREAD

With a small sized commercial war on in Great Falls last
week, centering about the staff of life, the five-cent loaf appears
tU~have emerged from obscurity in to real, and we hope, lasting
again, The reaction was so strong that some retailers
even failed to stop at the nickel and many householders in Great
Falls had the novel experience of carrying home a pound loaf that
set them back three cents. The acute stage was reached Saturday
an advertised pound loaf as a gift. For several months now
the price of wheat has been fairly stable and the sudden reaction
causes us to wonder what the bakers and retailers have been do
ing to us during that period.
The bread war in our n~eighboring city however, has ap-
parently had no effect locally, as the dealers here have adopted
a purely neutral attitude. The home grown and imported loaf
commands at this writing around eight or nine cents, which is a
concession of from four to six cents under the peak of postwar
prices of two years ago.

THE METAL OF WONDER AND ROMANCE

Probably few people are interested in the fact that an ounce
of gold can be drawn into a wire 50~mhes long, or that a nugget
of nure gold can be beaten into a leaf so thin that it takes 367,5O0
of them to make an inch IN thickHess-PeFe gold can be welded
cold in a solid mass. 1t is both common enough and sun or
sufficient rarity to have served through all the ages as a medium
of exchange among all the peoples of the civilized world and for
the most part among barbaric and savage races also.

Sale Of S20.0OO.0O0 Worth of Grain For
Russia Shows How Price Of Farm
Products Can Be Raised BY Sending
Part og Surplus Abroad.
KANSAS CITY. No. May Sale
of surplus agricultural products to for
eign countries was suggested as a
means of bringing higher prices to
farmers by Carl Vrooman. former as
~istaut secretary Of agriculture in an
address here before the convention
of the Mississippi Valley association.
The speaker urged his auditors to
find foreign markets for the farmers

IF everybody in the corn belt would
boost corn. as every man. woman and
child in the South boosts cotton, we long
since would have found a way to dig
ourselves out of the hole we are in.
Even the boil weevil is said to have put
lis shoulder to the wheel in the South
last year and by reducing the surplus
to have ne more than any other SIN
gle agency to help boost the price Of
cotton
As an illustration of the way the
'SOuth pulls together Mr.. Nrooman
cited the operation of the Edge bank
law which helps to finance the eXporta-
ton of cotton on credit. Il am told
that over 1000 banks throughout the
southern states in addition to numerous
business men and farmers took stock in
this New Orleans Export bank, because
they realized that unless this surplus
cotton could be gotten rid of in foreign
markets the South was headed for the
financial rocks he said.

A MIsUsED WORD.
The Word Psychology Is Attached e
Many Things Which 1t Shouldn't BE.

Psychology has taken a strong hold or
the popular Imagination. The study ana
practice of this interesting scIence nave
spread rapidly, and its application to
practical everyday problems Is becoming
more general.
However. DIR. Mark A. Place, head of
the department of psychology at Syracuse
university. is moved to protest against
what he terms misuse of the word
IF some of what these self styled psy-
biologists teach is psychology, says DIR.
Place Indignantly, then what / teach Is
something else.
yyhereupon he proceeds to set forth a
few of the things placarded as psychol-
ogv. which he insists should be stripped
Of that label. Among them he names the
study of the mysterious, occult and
smoky: psychical research. mind reading.
fortune telling. palmistry and observa-
ton of the bumps on the head. There is
some reason perhaps for a little popular
confusion of the science of psychology
with occult research and spiritism, whose
investigators use the terms psychic
and .'psychical' without improperly.
They are enough like the name of DIR.
Places speciality to excuse the use of the
wrong word occasionally.
But. as the professor points out. there
are lot of things going on to which we
loosely attached the word psychology
which i'll reality have nothing to do with
That SUBJECT ana winch, cOncaIN2Dly may
create prejudice against its study and de-
velOpment.
DR.. Place defines psychology as the
study of human nature" which is a
pretty broad generalization and leaves
one wishing he had been little more spe-
citlc. However. the definition is suffi-
GENTLY adequate to accentuate the impro-
priety of using the word in connection

Braley Dolly Poem
HAVEN OF CONTENT

At times grow of life in flat
With neighbor I care at all;
With no one to stop for gossipy chat
And no one to greet the dnge in the hall;
At times feel nightly tempted to go
Where all of my neighbors folks that know,
And there quite contentedly settle me down
In old fashioned house in old-fashoned town.
An old fashioned house that has plenty of ROOM
With wide shady porch and a broad grassy lawn
With trellis of roses whose waited perfume
Grows more lovely comes on;
1t tugs at my heart strings, that pastoral scene
With the trees and the grasses delightfully."- green
And the and the comfort that like az
old fashioned house old d-fashioned town.
Afar from the cty's harsh granite and brick
/ hear lovers talk as they saunter along,
i hear the old gates as they they click,
hear the porches brief snatches of song:
And neighbor grees neighbor friend friend
And life has quiet and leisurely trend
Unspoiled by the battle for gold and renown
old fashioned house in old fashioned town.
And, then--I remember the gossip that wags
Where everyone knows all about your affairs;
How life in a village wearily drags;
think of a householders troubles and
OF grass be cut. and in winter times chill
OF wood you must chop and of stoves you must fill
And--I guess, the whole, won't settle down
In an old-fashioned house in an oldfashionsd town.
