sure, financial considerations formed
the principal objection raised by Mr..
Harding in his veto message on the
bonus bill, but he criticized it on other
grounds equally as fundamental. ITO

state. This has been proven, but just
the same methods are required here as are used
in Iowa, Illinois or any other state to make it
a success, and those who do not care to put in
long hours and hard labor on the farm ought
not to attempt it.
The data now being called for by the railroads,
should be free from exaggeration, candid and
reliable. The cities furnishing the information
for the publicity must, for their own protection,
avoid fIowery descriptions of the beauties of farm
life in the west or there will be a repetition of
the failures of the past. The truth about Mon
tana farming, its possibilities and future, is good
enough to attract the real farmer. Nothing more
is needed.

largest fed in that state since 1914.
In Idaho a Is per cent increase for
the state is indicated, with the Twin
Falls, Jerome and Gooding sections
showing a 80 per cent increase. Five
hundred thousand of the sheep and
lambs on feed in these sections, how
ever, are controlled by one large pack
ing concern.
Utah shows an increase of approx.
imately 100 per cent over last year,
$4,000 head being fed, compared with
$4,000 in 1921.
In the eleven corn belt states, the
survey showed 10 per cent more sheer
and lambs on feed than in 1921. Al
though the increase was about the
same in the corn belt territory east
and west of the Mississippi, there wa.
rather a wide variation among tn,
various states. Michigan led with 2I

Kansas showing a 20 per cent in

A NEW COMMISSIONERS.

John Fabrick has been appointed a member of
the board of city commissioners to fill the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Mr.. Fred F. Wilson.
The choice of Mr.. Fabrick by Commissioners Hall
and Parkin will meet with popular approval
throughout the city. Mr.. Fabrick is a man of
high standing in the city, progressive, and has,
during his residence in the city always taken a
keen interest in civic affairs.
Mr.. Wilson was one of the three men first
elected to the office of city commissioner when
that form of government was adopted by Boze-
man. He has been a resident of the city practi-
.cally all his life, and prominently identified with
the affairs of the city before he took the office.
His interest in the development of Bozeman has
been demonstrated in many ways.
Due to illness making it necessary, Mr.. Wilson
give up all business activities, he rendered his
resignation as commissioner last June. This was
not accepted, in the hope hope that with a short
rest, together with proper medical attention, his
health would be so restored that he might be
able to serve out his full term. By a course of
treatment, covering a long period, Mr.. Wilson
has found his health improving, but also finds it
necessary to abstain from any work or active
business duties. At his request the resignation
so long in the hands of the city officials was
accepted, much to the regret of Commissioners
Hall and Parkin.
The commission form of government in Boze-
man has not been in operation long enough yet
to make it possible to determine whether or not
it will become the success predicted by it's sup
porters. There has been some disappointing fea-
lures developed in the present form of city gov
eminent, principally due to lack of legal facili-
ties. This can be corrected by legislation. and
no doubt will be during the present legislative
session.
Bozernan is the first city in Montana to operate
under the commission form, the experiment has
been found to have many desirable features over
the old system. There are some changes needed
in the law, however, to make it really workable
in a city the size of Bohemian, so that the bes-
results maye be realized. A new law or amend
ments to the present law should be drafted fo
passage during the present session to overcom
e the handicap now existing. City Manager Men
e denhall has data upon the matter and it is tn
r intention to ask the Gallatin county represents
d tlyes support a bill in the legislature correctin
some of the defects in the present law.
City administration, at best, is difficult. an
it is not possible to please all the people all til
time. Many criticisms are heard of the commit
c. sion form. However, that was also true of Il
it old form. The present system is a more bushes
like method of handling city affairs, and shout

COLLEGE TRAINING
FOR MAKING MONEY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The d.
rector of the District of Columbia
public employment department has
published statistics showing that
comparatively few college men who
apply for positions are capable of
earning more than ten or twelve dol
lars a week, and that employers pre-
fer non-degree men for clerical work.
cit is almost impossible to place a
college graduate in a position owing
to lack of qualifications needed in the
business and industrial world today"
said the director. "These applicants |
want executive positions for which
they ere not fitted and which are very
few.
"On the other hand, employers
dent want college graduates. They
state that employees of this kind are
untitled for the work and are always
expecting increases, which they are
not deserving. They are very unsat-
isfactory, and it is a rarity that they
last any length of time"
Records of a week show that more
than 100 persons the department was
unable to place had received degrees
from some of the most prominent col
r leges in the country. The few whom
, the department accommodated ac-
cepted positions of a clerical nature at
: salaries beginning at S. a week. APP

laboring or domestic positions were

SCOUTS Use RADIO
BROADCASTING NEWS

1t has not taken active Boy Scouts
of the country long to take advantage
of the modern radio craze and to har-
neas the great force and to make it
work for them. The National Coun-
Gil office for the Boy Scouts of Am
eerica have been sending programs
every week Over some of the largest
broadcasting stations in New York
City. Chief Scout Executive James
E. West cast the opening bomb in the
Anniversary Roundup, which is the
national movement to obtain half a
million Scouts by February, and re-
ports have come back of his actual
voice being picked up" in fifteen
states. One report was from Chicago
and one from Pasadena. Besides this,
his message was relayed from forty
of the largest broadcasting stations
of the country. Other programs ars
going out, which consist of campfire
songs and storie- and entertainment
stunts, and powerful talks by promi

SELLING MONTANA.

Much has been read of recent date concerning
the plan of the three railroads traversing Mon
tana, the Milwaukee,, Great Northern and North
ern Pacific, to advertise the northwestern states
throughout the country. These railroads propose
a campaign Of publicity to bring to these states
actual settlers. Montana is to receive her proper
ton of the publicity, the intention being, it is
claimed by the railroads, to interest actual farm
ers in the great possibilities for development,
and making money, in the west.
Whether or not this will be of benefit to these
states depends upon the methods employed, and
the reliability of the publicity published. This
state has suffered, during the past few years,
not alone from drouth, but from failures made
by those who did not know the first rule of
farming. More failures have been made on farms
in Montana through lack of knowledge of proper
farming methods, than because of lack Of suffi
cient rainfall.
For about ten years, beginning in 1905, there
was sent out over the eastern states a flood of
literature misleading in its character, filled with
claims for this state as the real Eldorado for those
who desired to make an easy living. 1t brought
to the state thousands Of people who knew moth
ing about farming, believing, from what they
had read it was only necessary to plant seed in
the ground and wait for the Almighty to do the
rest. Riches were waiting them here, without
the necessity of making any very great effort to
earn them.
Preachers, teachers, bank clerks, store clerks,
doctors, lawyers, and from every walk of life, ex-
cepting farmerS-came in droves to the state.
The result was just what might be expected. A
few years of the struggle against unknown condi-
tons, and failure. The failures left the state,
thereby broadcasting a detrimental propaganda
against the state that has not yet been overcome
The unfortunate who lost their little savings in
unsuccessful attempts to get rich quick farming
in Montana, spread the word back in their ole
homes that Montana was not a farming state
Those who knew something about farming were
able to stick it out, learning how to farm in this
state, and are still here.
The railroads were not alone to blame for tn
kind of boosting literature sent out to draw tn
people to the state. In every city and hamlet o
Montana there was a busy commercial club, req
estate dealers, land l~ocaters and promoters doin
more to coax the unsuspecting victim to the stat
than the railroads were doing. This ~literatur
told the truth, but not all of it, the seeker ate
a home read it and came here wholly unprepare
to meet the hard struggle necessary to chang
the raw land into real productive farms.
The plan now under way, it is claimed, will
to give accurate information, to educate the pro
pective settler in the requirements needed to su
c~essfully farm in the west. With this plan
will be possible to eliminate those who are n
qualified, and to bring into the state only tho
who will be fit to farm. Montana is a product

Marie Provost Classifies Husbands. f,
Since Marie Provost is said to have
announced her engagement to Ken
meth Harlan, both of whom play
prominent parts in the Warner Broth
ers' production of F. Scott Fitzger-
AIDS novel, "The Beautiful and
Damned" she has classified husbands
into three classes.
"The first husband is he who stays
home every evening, has no vices and
works for a salary" says Miss Pre-
vost. "The second is the atavisitc
master whose mistress one occupa-
ton is to worship him. And the third
is the worshipper of his wife to the
exclusion of everything else. This
type demands an emotional actress

bucket or two of water.
Another substitute for coal that
will no doubt be used this winter if
shortage should occur or prices
reach point that Is prohibitive, is
coke. and this fuel has been for
years the standby in many localities
throughout the country In the mat
ter of cleanliness and absolute smoke
lessness, coke is the best substitute
for anthracite. 1t is the solid residue
from the distillation of certain grades
of bituminous in the beehive, coke
oven, the by-product oven or the gas
house retort. 1t is practically free
of volatile matter, the smode-pro-
ducing constituent of bituminous.
Coke Is porous and therefore con-
siderably more bulky than coal. One
thing that has prevented many from
using 1t in the past was the fact that
it is not as easily lighted as coal but
after it has been ignited it burns
much more readily because a greater
amount of air can come in contact
with the fire bed. 1t piles UP loosely

and Georges Creek Goals of Virginia,

are probably the best adapted among
varieties of soft coal" for use as a
substitute for anthracite.
There is anther phase of the ques-
tion that must not be overlooked
when considering the matter of coal
in the family budget. and that is that
these smok eless Goals are high
er in heat value and usually con-
tain less ash than anthracite, and as
ably lower price, so we find that the
purchaser, owing to the higher heat
value, if such coal is sold at two
thirds of the price of anthracite, gets
almost stwice the amount of available
heat for his money, and with proper
care in operating his furnace he can
realize this entire. amount of saving.
Even with careless handling he can
have a considerable saving at the end
of the cold term.
If the dealer sells you the genuine
coal, you need not be worried If
some of it looks like dust. This is
caused because Goals of this class
are extremely friable and cannot be
graded as can anthracite. This fine
coal contains less ash than the larger
pieces and will give off more heat.
as it. has the property of "coking"-
that is. fusing togeather when heated.
Coal of this character should be well
wet down before it is put in the
cellar and the front of the bin should
