ESTEEMED MATRON
CALLED BY Death
MRS. JOSEPHINE C. HOWARD
DIES IN CALIFORNIA AFTER
SHORT ILLNESS

Mrs. Josephine G. Howard, aged II
years, widow of the late DR.. J.. w.
Howard, prominent former resident of
Bozeman, passed away last Friday
morning at her home in San Jose, Cal,
after an illness of only a few weeks.
Episcopal services were conducted the
same afternoon in San Jose, after
which the remains were accompanied
by her son, Harry H. Howard, who
was with her when she passed away,
to Missoula, where interment was
made this morning in the Mis-
soula cemetery beside the remains of
her late husband.
Mrs. Howard, nee Cozad, was born
about n years ago in Cathage, Ill,
where she was married at the age of
% years to DR.. J. w. Howard. The
couple came to Montana in 1888, first
locating in Dillon and later in Butte,
finally deciding to locate in Bozeman,
which they did in 1892. They re-
manned here about ten years, remov-
ing later to Hamilton and, finally, to
Missoula, where DIR. Howard died in
the fall of 1906.
After residing for five years in Mis-
soula with her son, L. D. Howard, and
family, who removed in 1911 to Boze-
man, where she lived with her sons
for about ten years, leaving, about two
years ago, for San Jose, CAL, where
she made her home with her son, L
D. Howard and family, formerly OF
this city and Missoula.
Besides being a member of the Epis-
copal faith and a very devout com
municant, she was a member of the
Order of Eastern Star, a past worthy
matron of Hamilton chapter and {;
member of Electa chapter in Missoula
in which she retained her member
ship although not a resident of Mon
tana at the time of her demise.
Mrs. Howard is survived by sever
sons: John, of Portland, Ore; Wi
Harry, Ed, and Louis l.. Howard, o
Bozeman, and L. D., and Eugene How
ard, of San Jose, Cal, and by 1

NATIONAL EDUCATORS FAVOR
HEAVY PENALTIES FOR
FRAUD ON PUBLIC

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. Capital
News Service Educators in the
Nations Capital are heartily in favor
Of the movement to increase the
punishment melted out in the Several
states for that offense against their
laws which consists in selling to a
person not entitled to it, a bogus
diploma, which purports to have been
given the purchaser by an educatian-
al institute.
A confession has just been made
in st. Louis by a man who tells of
having sold more than a thousand
high school certificates to people who
needed them to fulfill the require
ment of alleged colleges" which
later sold them medical diplomas.
The various state medical boards
and their examinations can be de-
pended upon to eliminate the spur
ious and unqualified medical fraud,
but if a man can sell high school
diplomas to one class of young peo-
pie he can to another. AS Wash
ington educators point out the worth
of a certificate from high school is
regarded in the college, depends al
together upon its sincerity. If high
schools graduate pupils honestly
those pupils are honestly entitled t.
go forward on their certificates. II
such certificates can be bought. Their
the colleges of the country will soor
refuse admittance on a certificate.
Selling a school diploma is a FRAUD
on the public, as had as being SOLD

money" said one teacher. "The Law
should be made more drastic, ant
those who fatten themselves at thu
expense of the education homes
young people work so hard to obtain
should be drastically punished"

NORTHERN PACIFIC
Chairman RETURNS
HOWARD ELLIOTT GIVES OUT
PUBLIC INTERVIEW ON HIS
RECENT TRIP

Howard Elliott, chairman of the
Northern Pacific Railway, upon his
return to St. Paul last week from a
trip through the northwest, made the
following statement:
Our party left st. Paul Monday,
October 8. Since then we have trav-
eled 5.729 miles on the Northern Pa
cific or on railroads in which it has
a joint interest with either the Great
Northern or the Union Pacific.
The object of the trip was to make
a careful inspection of the properties
of the company. We saw the main
lines of the Northern Pacific except
certain parts in Minnesota, which
were examined on a previous trip some
six weeks ago, at which time the
large shops at Brainerd were inspec-
ted. We also saw the railroads of the
company in Oregon and Washington
and Idaho; all facilities at division
terminals; and the shops of the COM
pany at Livingston, and Missoula,
Montana, and at South Tacoma, Wash,
where there is an unusually fine plant.
We examined the coal properties at
Red Lodge, Montana, and Roslyn,
Wash, which have a capacity of ten
thousand tons a day.
When the government took over the
properties on January 1, 1918, they
were in very fine physical condition
and with good earning power. Condi-
tiOns growing out of war and the
necessity of doing everything regard
less of cost to win that war, damaged
railroad property. Government con-
troll created difficult and expensive
operating conditions, and reduced the
earning power of the roads, and al
roads have been working hard since
1920 to bring the properties to a high
state of efficiency.
I am glad to say that track, motive
power and shops are in very fine shape
and we enter the winter in better con.
dition than ever before. Freight cars
were scattered under government con
troll and could not be we'll maintained
but they are now in better condition
than at any time since 1917, there
being less than 6 per cent of the cars
in bad order today. AS these carr
come back from foreign lines, the!
have to be overhauled and rebuilt 81
g. to restore them to pre-war condi
ton. The inability Of the government
to maintain them satisfactorily dur
ing the war has added greatly to OPP
Grating expenses.
In the last few years, the com
pany has added to its equipment II
heavy locomotives, nearly 5000 ne1
freight cars, and rebuilt many thou
sands of cars. Many improvement
have been made, particularly at ter
minal points so as to give better serv
ice to the public, better working cor
ditions for the employees, and to OF
tain greater efficiency and larger out
put per hour work. These addition
required the investment by the owl
ers of millions of dollars. They mad
this investment with faith in tn
great northwestern country and wit
a belief that the government, bot
state and national, would treat the
fairly.

of the Rocky Mountains is greatI

Study Club Libraries.


! The Libraries for study clubs con-
!. tain enough books to cover the sub
ject studied and the number sent vari-
es accordingly. Pictures, stereoscopic
views, pamphlets and folios of maya
zine articles are added when needed
J to complete the library. A list of
! subjects upon which libraries can be
furnished will be sent upon applica-
: ton.
These are loaned for a fee of S1.OO
| in addition to which the club pays the
!, transportation charges both ways.
j The libraries may be kept for the
! period of the club year, usually from
, September to June.
| When there is a public library in
the town it is desirable that the books
should be kept at the library and al
lowed to circulate generally when not
in use by the club.
To aid in rendering the most eff
fective service, the following sug-
gestions are offered to clubs:
"a Appoint program committee
early in the year, to ascertain wishes
of the club, and to search for available
material and outlines before deciding
upon the course of study.
(2) Write for list of club Libraries,
submitting topics if course has been
decided upon. Outlines will be furn-
ished when possible and lists of books
which can be sent.
90 Confine the study to one sub
ject. A thorough consideration of a
definite subject is more satisfying to
the club and it is impossible to furn-
ish libraries covering a variety of
topics.
"a Do not send the fee for a club
library until you have learned that the
library you wish is available. The
programs should be planned to suit
material in the library; the library
cannot be made UP to suit individual
programs.
Early application is necessary to get
first choice of material, and the fee
must be paid before the library is
sent. All fees should be made paya-
BILE to Clara F. Baldwin.
Package Libraries
Package libraries are made up of
books, pamphlets, magazine articles
and clippings, and are loaned to in
dividuals preparing papers or
debates, or readers pursuing some
special line of study. Specific books
will be furnished whenever their pur-
chase is warranted, or if they can be
obtained through er-library loans.
Where there is a public library, it
is preferable to send the request
through the librarian, and material
for school use should be sent through
the school librarian, superintendent or
principal. Individuals living in rural
districts may have package libraries
sent direct.
The amount of material sent de-
ponds upon the subject and the mat
erial available when the request is
received. In applying for material,
state clearly the subject, and state
whether it is desired for debate,

Local Druggists
Aid Movement
Eliminate the Common Cold" Now
the Slogan.

Practically every drug store in this
state, among them Public Drug Store
and Gerstmann Drug Co. in this city,
will cooperate with Muco- Solvent la
boratory in the movement to eliminate
humanity's most insidious enemy, the
common cold.
With this end in view, these drug
gists will sell Muco Salve at 25 cents
per jar, though measured by its bene-
fetal effects it could reasonably be
sold for several times the price.
Every reader of this newspaper is
urged to get jar at once to use as a
preventive or to- check the first incip-
lent cold that appears in the family
Then, too, Muco-Salve has twenty
other uses, being very effective for the
alienation of asthma, whooping cough
spasmodic Group, neuralgia, etc.
Do not confuse Muco Salve with
preparations apparently similar. There
is difference both in strength and
purity. The genuine is plainly marked
with both name and price and if your
druggist hasn't got it he can get ii
for you from his jobber.

What Clubs Can
Do TO Get More
Library Service

The State of Minnesota maintains
Though the Library Division, Depart
ment of Education formerly Library
Commission), system of free travel
ing libraries, for the benefit of all the
people in the state. The purpose of
these libraries is primarily to bring
to the people living Ola the farms
and in isolated communities the
educational advantages denied them
by reason of the distance from public
Libraries and the difiiculties\ and ex-
pense of transportation. Aid is also
given to the small libraries having
insufficient book funds by supplying
them with travelling libraries includ-
ing books for children and books in
foreign languages. The reference de-
pa-tment of the travelling libraries
furnishes reference libraries on spe-
cial subjects for study clubs and sup
plies students or club workers with
material for debates or club papers.
The books are free to all and any COM
munity may share the advantages of
the travelling library by complying
with the few regulations necessary to
its efficient management.
General Libraries.
The libraries vary in size to suit
the needs of the communities; SOW.
cases contain so books for adults and
20 books for children, largely fiction,
but including also interesting books in
science, biography, travel, literature,
history and agriculture. The 25v.
cases are designed for smaller settle
ments and are made up on the same
general plan.
The regular travelling libraries are
in fixed collections and an entirely
different set is sent each time. 1t is
not possible to allow selection but the

both ways. The libraries are usually
sent by pacel post with a statement
OF date due and amount of postage.
Postage should be returned with the
material, either in an envelope OF
clipped to pamphlet, never attached.
Home Libraries.
From the general collection, groups
of 10 to Is books for general reading
are loaned to individuals or families
so isolated that local library associa-
ton cannot be formed, and where the
general travelling library of 25v. can
not be used to advantage. The books
are chosen to suit the ages and tastes
of the readers and specific books re-
quested are provided whenever posi-

The agreement for the library is
signed by the applicant, who becomes
personally responsible for the care and
safe return of the books and should
be vouched for by the school superin-
tendent or officer Of the district in
which he lives.
The borrower pays transportation
charges both ways.
The home library should not usurp
the place of the rural library and is
not sent to places where there are
enough taxpayers to make a library
association possible. The expense of
transportation in nearly every case ex-
ceeds the fee for the 25y. library, the
number of books is smaller and fewer
people are served thereby.
