Alberta-Montana Highway Is
Now Rapidly Becoming
Commercial Artery.

GREAT FALLS, Aug. .23.-The
name OF the highway from Leth-
bridge, Alberta, to Great Falls, once
notorious as an artery for bootleg
liquor. has been changed from the
"Moonshine Trail" to the Sunshine
Trail"
. There seems to be something sig
nificant in the new name, which
has now been officially applied to
the Alberta Montana highway, of
which A. j. Breitenstein, Great
Falls, hotel man, has been elected
president.
Since there is more "enlighten-
ment" in sunshine" than in
"moonshine," the road is rapidly be-
coming an important commercial
thoroughfare.
The road is a commercial high
way, resultant from a Great Falls
Commercial Club auto junket taken
to Lethbridge in the summer Of
1922, and while originally designed
from Lethbridge to Great Falls
now extends from Butte to Edmon.

Of 842 miles along the Canadian

OF public works for Calgary, and
George Lanstrum, chairman Of the

President Breitenstein is man

s VIEWS
On EDUCATION
UNCHANGED
He Still Doubts Efficacy Of
Academic instruction as
Training for Work.

MILAN, Ohio, Aug. 23.-Revisit-
ing his birthplace here for the first
time in forty years, Thomas A. Ed
son revealed that time had not
changed but rather emphasized his
oft-expressed views on education
and his doubts as to the efficacy
Of modern college curriculums in
turning out men fitted to cope with
present day problems.
Get 'em young and then let 'em
alone" the great inventor told news
paper men. He was referring to
children. After fourteen, he be-
lieves. there is no use in sending
them to school.
II have no more use for college
graduates than I used to have--in-
deed, my theories regarding them
have been confirmed and are
stronger than ever" Edison con-
tinued. "They are most helpless
when faced with mathematics. My
last questionnaire-and use them
all the time-contained five ques-
tons in simple arithmetic. Any
child ougS. to be able to answer
them, but only 20 per cent of my
applicants could find even approx
mately correct answers:
THE trouble is in the primary
schools. Education should be made
attractive to the little ones with
moving pictures, perhaps, and other
devices. Children should be taught
between the ages of six and four
teen.
After fourteen the chiId's mind
undergoes a change If he has not
been interested by that time he
never will be. Things he has not
grasped by that time he will go
through life without The rest of
his so-called education is mere polish
not education.
IF child's mind has been
trained to think before he reaches
the age of fourteen he is equipped
to become a success. Thinking is
what counts. The rest Is veneer
pretty, maybe, but not essential in
practical way"
Edison, with Henry Ford and
Harvey Firestone, was on his way
to Northern Michigan, where the
three friends and others will spend
some time camping.

BUSINESS PROSPECTS
CONSERVATIVELY VIEWED.

The consensus Of opinion Of the
financial journals and finance ers
generally is that prosperity is
here and will remain Just as
long as the people keep their
heads. This opinion seems to be
predictated on the idea that pros
perity is not so much manipula-
ton by capital as it is of conduct
by people. Capital may invest and
through investment expand bust
ness and industry, but can do so
long as there is cooperation for
the producers of the country and
from the consumers.
There is a vast difference, it
seems to us, between working to-
gether and pulling apart. In work
ing together capital and labor seek
to create and produce for the
general welfare, each being salts
fed with whatever just profit may
accrue. In pulling apart each
demands first his share regard
less of whether or not there has
been production warrarlting d.
vision, with the general result that
production is curtailed rather
than stimulated, It is just this
sort Of thing that the country is
warned against. Chauncey NJ. De
pew put the matter straight when
he said Corporations seldom de-
clare dividends before hey can
earn them" Producers will pro-
bsbly find it very difficult to do
otherwise.
All the more should there be
pulling together because of some
conditions that are now wholly adj
vantageoqs, There already is
overprcduction in some lines and
shortage in others. There is an
abundance Of skilled labor in GER
tain parts Of the country and
shortage Of common labor in 9th
ers. There is money enough for
some purposes and not enough for
others. Seems to US there has to
a leveling off of the high spots and
the raising Of some Of the low
ground in business and industry,
and this can never be done unless
their is iull cooperation all
round

SHOWING WHERE LIFE
INSURANCE WINS.

One Of the big life insurance
companies broke all records in the
amount Of business done in 1922
and IS well embarked on an even
better showing for the current
year. Company officials regard
this as a certain reflection Of i'm
proved businessvc0nditions.
While all its lines were active,
this company did tremendous
volume Of business in industrial
insurance. This is taken largely
by wage earners and their fami-
lies. The policies Of this sort is
sued amounted to SITS, 100000.
When it is remembered that this
IS the report for only one life in
surance company, and that most
organizations Of the kind pros
pered proportionately, the situa-
ton becomes even more signif-
cant Undoubtedly it is evidence
Of improved business conditions,
as insurance officials point out.
It is evidence still more, of
growing appreciation among all
classes, but particularly in indus
trial ranks, of the Importance of
life insurance. 1t shows, too that
the hard lessons Of the last three
years have not gone UNDECIDED
when thrift and careful provision
for the future rather than ex-
travagant expenditure, are among
the early reactions to increasing
prosperity.
