ersy regarding the licenses to be paid
to the City of Bozeman came 10 a
head the first of the week when the
city officials started in arresting an

license fees. City Manager Menden-

for six of the delinquents, namely the
Bon Ton bakery, Nelson Cab company,
Kenyon Noble Lumber company,
BOzeman Motor Service, Gallatin Gro
cery company and Robert Thompson,

, monses are being served daily.

GALLATIN HIGH
GRADUATES MANY
Largest Class in History of Local In
stitutiOn Gets Degrees Last
Week ROmney Gives
Address

"Your diploma has little CONNER
cial value for it cannot be cashed in
as stocks OF bonds or sold in the mark
ct. It is a message of congratulate
ion. You have done we'll. This dip
Iona is challenge to you to go and
do bigger things"
It was OFT Romney's closing re-
mark to the graduating class of the
GaIlatin County High school at their
commencement exercises held Friday
night at the Emerson auditorium, and
it carried with it thought for every
one in the audience as well as the 81
graduating students.
Starting with conditions on the
American continent $50 years ago,
Otto Romney worked into his address
some Of the requirements of the pres
ent age and the abilities of those who
were leaving the high schools of the
land to meet those requirements.
Leaders From Students
This is the material from which
our leaders are to be made" he re-
marked as he turned to the gradu-
ating students. "The cry Of every age
is the youth of today is slipping, but
the youth of today is not slipping.
These who are graduating today form
the best graduating class from our
high school. Our country is getting
better.
I'VE need not worry today about our
youth. What we need concern our
selves about is what we put into
them"
He then told of an editorial he had
read in a Montana Daily paper re-
Gently, which ranted about the con-
ditiOn of the youth of the land anC
bemoaned the short skirts and bobbed
hair and all the rest of the compOnents
of the so-called "fast living. "Bui
at the bottom of the editorial in bis
type were the words From the Phil
.adelphia Public Ledger about the time
of the War of 1872" stated MIR
Romney as he concluded his illustra
tion.
Then he continued with his task O
pointing out how the "alarmists ar
all wrong" ''The students of toda,
must be better equipped" he stated
"for there are greater and NOR
diversified demands placed upon them
Half of Youth IIliterate
The war showed us in this land o
free education and free governmen
that one half of our youth was ply
sically unfit and one half uneducateC
1t IS also showed us that many knev
little of our government or its con
stitution and usages. The war show
ed more and more the need of educat
ed persons. 1t placed a premium o
education.
But education and physical fitnes
must go hand in hand if the nation
to raise to its highest position. Hi:
tory shows us that those nations whic
rose to the greatest heights, were tn
greatest physically and the creates
mentally at the same time"
ROmney Raps Montana
And then he plainly began to diag
nose conditions in Montana school
showing how misplaced emphasis G
money values had hurt education.
Il need only mention one town
Montana where the schools were cIo
ed early on account of lack of scho

 Camp Mcclellan
ANNISTON BUREAU l THE AGE-HERALD ! AnnistOn, Ala, March 3

Concurrence of the Secretary of War and the introduction of bill in Congress by Maj. Lamar Jeffers the Fourth Alabama representative, are the latest developments in the Elans for creating a national forest reserve on the Camp Mcclellan res ervation. Congressman Jeffers in- troduced the necessary bill on Fri day, according to advices received in the city Saturday. ana it IS ex- pected that the necessary authority will be secured when the new ses- sion of Congress is convened and the national forest bill is reached by the national legislature.
 The agricultural department had previously concurred in the propo- sition to establish a national forest reserve on the 19,o0o-acre tract of land embraced in the reservation at Camp Mcclellan and as soon as the details can be worked out it is prob able that this important work will be given the attention of govern ment experts. Establishment of the forest reserve will not interfere with Camp Mcclellan as a training center for citizen soldiers and reserve offi- cers from the Fourth Corps area, ac- cordng to official information re- ceived in this city.
  fish hatchery on the reservatio/ and quartermaster officers and others are now making a survey at the local camp with view of making recommendation for this addition to the government property Just north of the city. More than half of the 19,000 acres of land embraced in the Camp Mcclellan reservation is heav- fly timbered, while second growth trees cover another large area Just south of the headquarters.
 The eastern part of the reservation is fringed by a heavily wooded mountain which artillery troops have been using as a backstop for their practice firing. Protection of the timber growth, prevention of forest fires and general isnprove- ment in care of the timber now standing on the government tract will be main parts of the work to be done under the direction of the war department and the forestry reserve sectiOn.

COMMERCIAL FEEDS1 MUST BEAR ALABAMA
 STAMPS, DAVIS RULES

MONTGOMERY. Ala, March B. Notice of ruling of Attorney Gen. eral Harwell G. Davis providing that all commercial feeds are required by law to bear the Alabama tax stamps has just been issued by J. M. Moore. commis ssioner of agriculture of the state.
 The announcement follows in full:
 Whereas. the attorney general has ruled that all shipments of com mercial feeding stuffs from without the state to a consignee within Ala bama becomes property of Alabama and subject to its laws when 1t reaches the consignee, and whereas commercial feeds as property of Ala bama are required by the laws Of the state to bear the Alabama tax stamps. therefore the following reg ulation:
 "The analysis tag of every bag of commercial feeding stuff held, sold, offered or exposed for sale by any consignee. importer. jobber firm, as- sociation, corporation or person. within Alabama, shall have affixed thereto the Alabama tax stamps; provided, when bags are stored In portion of warehouse. which Is placarded For Storehouse Only Not for Sale in Alabama and when said feed is intended for sale in another state and Is not intended for sale nor is held out or offered for sale in Alabama, the Alabama tax stamp shall not be required.
 The waiver of registration. tag ging or stamping by the consignee does not relieve the shipper of the responsibility to have the feed com ply with the laws of Alabama when it reaches it's destination.
 "The commercial feeding stuffs stored in violation of this regulation are unlawfully stored and subject to seizure and confiscation while the storer is subject to the penalties fixed by law.
 This regulation shall take effect on April 1, 1923"
