Johnny Farrell and Robert Barker
drove through Belt Tuesday from Nei-
hart on their way to Great Falls. Nj.
Farrell is on his way to Belfry where
he will open up a promising group of
placer claims. For the past four or
five years Mr.. Farrell has been en-
gagged in leasing in the Neihart dis
trict with very substantial success,
and still has valuable interests in the
district. His present plans are to open
up the Belfry placers to demonstrate
their richness and if the result is ia
vorable, to interest capital in working
them, probably under a system of
dredging.

LOOKING FORWARD

Political and party interest centers just now upon the new
president. Much depends on whether he shall be equal to the
task which has fallen to his lot. He takes over the executiveship
with storm signals flying over the capitol. Coolidge inherits a
tight Just getting under way and conditions in congress are sure
to require strength tact and steadfastness of purpose on the part
of the executive.
Coolidge may not be able to do as well as Harding. He may
De able to do better. He must face problems of national size.
Harding was a known certainty to the business and commercial
United States. His death temporarily depressed all investment
values because of the uncertainty which is involved in his death
and the policies that another may adopt. Harding was known
TO be safe and sound economically. Coolidge promises us that
he Will continue the Harding policy. So far so good.
1t may be that Coolidge shall be able to deal with the coming
congress better than the soft speech and passivty of command
OF Harding might have done. Coolidge has shown himself a man
OF determination and courage. It will be recalled that at one time
Coolidge seemed in line for the presidential nomination before
Harding had come out of the ruck of presidential possibilities
The next congress is to be the milling of a wild herd in a storm.
The LaFoDette radicals hope to control the balance of power. The
democrats, naturally and purposefuly, will help them do all the
damage they may if partisan injury to the republicans is to
result from that aid.
II Coolidge proves to be a herdsman equal to the task and the
emergencies that are certain to arise the republicans will continue
IN power. If not the probability is that we shall, after the next
presidential election, have four years of democratic party rule
wherein all taxes will be so adjusted as to hit the norm and miss
the south.
1t is mainly up to President Coolidge.

THE BOHEMIAN COURIER, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST Is, 1872;

the -IIn1GnerS. -.
August, dog days despite, is a month to be glad and happy
In. In August the labors of the months eliminate. August is
fruitful as beautiful. She is a ship under full sail.
In later August the painters begin their work. The flush
comes to the apples and green fields are bordered with yellow
stubbes. The flowers by the wayside trim the fields. The garden
flowers are at their best, the great, gorgeous flowers that belong
with August. The fields of winter wheat are like the tented
hosts of some mighty legion in August. Soon will come Sep
TENDER, the master of color and turn the spring grain into fields
of gold and the leaves of the trees to varied shades of yellow, red
and brown.
call. The woods beckon. The rush is over. The finishing is in
hand. The tasks of summer are nearly over. The hay is in the
stacks, the milk of oats and wheat is hardening, it is the last
breathing spell before the final rush of the season.
Stirred by premonition the birds gather in detached flocks,
seemingly getting acquainted for the fellow passengership of the
long migration south.
Not yet a hint of decay and death that comes with the closing
of the fall but an atavistic feeling of forecasted winter, nothing
definite as yet but a foreknowledge that summer is on the last lap.
The katydids have been fidding for dear life. Folks used to
say cts six weeks to winter" But like new folks, the old folks
did not know everything. The beautiful Montana fall is vet to
come pfter August has packed up and gone back into the region
of past things.
The fierce rush of spring and preparation is over. It's a
time of fulfilment. 1t is pay day at hand. August is the portal
of autumn opening the door of September to call the family to the
feast.
Perhaps life does not bound like the pulses of June but its
current runs stronger and fuller in August. We take time to live
then. We have gained the growth of our year. August is the
full manhood and womanhood of the cycle with lines of experience
and thoughtfulness in its face. August is August.

LET us bury the great chief with a nations lamentation
Let us bury the great chief to the noise of the mourning
of a mighty nation
Mourning when their leaders fall"
In every city and town of Montana people gathered on Friday
afternoon to do honor to the fallen president. President Harding
was laid to rest in the town of Marion, Ohio, the little city he
loved so we'll, but his funeral was attended by the inhabitants of
every village and hamlet, every city and metropolis in a mighty
nation. From one coast to the other all America testified to the
respect borne not alone to the high office the dead man held
but to the character aims and accomplishments of the executive
and beyond that to the man himself.
For Harding was one of the vast majority, a common type
of American, so closely Appropriated to that type he seemed at
times commonplace. So far as his manner of living and his at
titude towards life private and public are concerned he was COM
mOnplace because he represented the most common type of Am
erican. His ideals were American ideals. He had sturdy COM
mOnpace American commonsense.
President Harding's shortened term as chief executive of
the United States had been strenuous beyond the understanding
of belief of most of US. The labor that lies on the shoulders of
our present day presidents is prodigious. Harding came to the
presidency with the debris of a great war to cearaway. He fol-
lowed a most disastrously extravagant administration, found
taxes enormous, a period of deflation from excessive prices and
eXtravagant expenditure to combat and a world mudde, partly
created by his predecessor, facing him. Harding proved to be
the man for the particular time in which he was called to serve.
He was exceptionally useful. He has been a careful, practical
president of this country, excited as it was with war threatened
by the unsOund policies put into effect by the Wilson McAdoo
administration, with deflaiOn at hand, war taxes to pay, UNI
employment general and the discomfort that is the invariable
sequel of any period of official and individual national extrava-
gance.
Accomplishments and results are the acid tests of usefulness.
Harding was a useful president, a successful leader. Under his
administration the war debt has been reduced, non employment
has disappeared. Commonplace Yes, the old fashioned, common
place, inevitable policy of economy and plain business sense.
He found a treasury looted by extravaganza and left it with
money in the bank. He stood safely and sanely against dangerous
experiments in government and as a barrier to class agitators
who would destroy a nations prosperity with its business inter-
estS.
When the history of his time is written in the calmness of a
retrospect, years hence, President Harding will receive his full
need of credit. The mists of prejudice, discomfort, misunder-
standing and uproar of self seeking partsanship shrouded and
submerged the true value of the president. Yet he was a man
for his time.

Climate Regulation for immigration

Farmers in particular viii be interested to learn OF the study
given to im--igration and to know that research shows that ell
mate remains a dominating factor in determining the sections
of the country that are to be the future abiding places OF those
who come ID our shores. Previous occupation plus climate seems
to settle the question.
The movements of our new arrivals demonstrate this TACT IN
no uncertain way. a large percentage of the scandinavian
arrivals have already departed for the farms of the DakOtas,
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois.
This climatic influence has its advantages, bat also 1t has It's
disadvantages. Large numbers of foreigners settling IN block
formation presents an increasingly difficult problem. 1t means
that the absorption of Americanism is rendered much slower,
which is not unimpOrtant, as our immigrant population is en-
trusted with the vote.
In New York we find, for example, the italian quarter,
where the residents take years to become even Approximately
American. They speak their own language almost exclusively.
They read Italian newspapers. Their homes, their food, their
every activity, remain Italian for years. Were they scattered
they would be Americanized in onetwentieth the time.
In regulating immigration from each country it might be wise
for the Congress to take climate plus the needs of American IN
dustry into consideration.

There are many ways in which the
ordinary type Of telephone transmitter
or micrOphone may be used along with
ones regular radio apparatus. 1t is
possible to set up a very simple tele-
phone circuit between two %neighboring
houses or to put these microphones
into service for relaying radio broad
casting over a wire to a friends house.
A few suggestions are given in the
accompanying sketch for hooking ND
microphOnes with other radio appara-
tus which the fan will recognize as
legal. The simplest form Of straight
away phone circuit Is shown on the
top. IT will be noted that two micro
phones, two sets Of radio headphones
and three OF four dry batteries are
connected In series. Between the two
is run q connecting wire which need

nary galvanized iron wire can be sub
stituted with equal success, provided
there is no actual contact with the

the water supply system, thereby ef-
IecIlng an economy In wire.
The objection to such & method is
that the battery is used continuously
unless a switch is inserted to dlscon-
meet 1t. Then it becomes impossible
to talk to the other station without
sending notice beforehand. A some
what better circuit Is suggested and It
will be noted that there is a battery
at each station. Q
A point to be called to attention Is
that the batteries are connected In
opposition. There is q very good res

Is 1t Hours Or More Money Wanted!

The country generally will uphold Judge Gary, head of the
United States Steel Corporation, in the decision to make the
eight hour day a straight eight hour day and not a basic eight
hour day. This change will put the acid test to the contention
Of labor that a work day of more than eight hours is harmful to
the workers.
No one begrudgeS labor its right TO a front line on the pay
roll. 1t has been found, however, that after employers in some
industries have conceded the eight hour day the workers have
continued to work just the same hours they worked before, their-
battle for the shorter day obviously being to get extra pay under
the questiOnably justifable overtime schedule. In brief, most
Of the fights for the eight hour day have not been fights for the
eight hour day at all, but c~amoufaged efforts to obtain excessive
alvanceS in wages.
This is unfortunate, because the reaction will be clearly injuri-
Gus to those who toll. Perhaps the greatest trouble is not caused
by those who toll, but by those who, like the lilies of the field,
toll Mt, neither do they spin. There would be little complaint

CANADIAN

Inc Canadian thistles are becoming a serious menace to farm
prolts IN many parts OF the valley. They have literally taken
some fields OF grain and. in hundreds of others thew are materially
cutting down the yields. Some farmers are systematically fight
ing tnem' Others let them thrive unchecked. Therein lies the
greatest danger. If every farmer in the valley would 90 right
aleer ene tnlsties and cut them before they bloom it would not
taks many years to eradicate the pest entirely. At least thar
has been the history of Canadian thistles in eastern states. But
whatever is done to fight them, it must be done by everyone and

to kill his thistles while his neighbor neglects them entirely. That
