HEREDITARY OR ENVIRONMENT

When Senator Teller of Nevada made a speech on the tariff in the Senate once upon a day he little knew that he was determining the whole future of a small girl of II, but Miss Florence Harrison the new National League of Women Voters secretary for the recond region Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey New York and Pennsylania) dates her interest in politics from that day when she sat beside her grandfather in the Senate gallery at Washington and listened.
 The subject interested her and she is interested in it yet. Adherents to the heredity theory as explaining every trait will point to the fact that she is descended from that Harrison family of Virginia which has been politically minded for most of three hundred years, but those who main- tain the greater power of envlron- ment will feel sure that her love of politics is due to the Teller speech fortified by other speeches she heard in that same session, for she loved listening to statesmen better than she did roller skating, at II.
 From the time when she was grad uated from college and went back to Minneapolis, her home, she has been a leader in athletics and the best or amateur coaches, but politics IS her great interest and if the campaign or organized women voters inNthe sec ond region to get out the vote in the next election is not successful it will not be because the brlght-eyed re- gional secretary lacks either devotion to the cause or the ability to pre- cant if

Three million new old-fashioned Electric Irons last year consumed billions of watts and kilowatts of electricity and cost the users stupendous sum to keep these fuel consumers repaired.
 The American public invested last year eighteen million dollars Tn new old-fash- . toned Electric Irons, which will consume annually electric current equal in value to the original investment to say nothing of the repair bills.
 If the small group of old-fashioned Electric Iron Manufacturers are in collision with the central service stations and electric repair shops, they should distribute free to the consumer their products and reap the prof. its from the annual consumption of cleo triclty>an repair charges.
 The American public does not have to pay this stupendous tax.
 Science in electrical engineering declares this old-fashioned way Is all wrong, and offers the public a product built on the new and economical plan, the fireless cooker principle, an electric iron with soapstone interior. When the iron is hot disconnect the cord the soapstone holds the heat.
 Ten minutes electric current heats up the iron. It stays hot for more than two hours. Ten minutes electric current costs less than one hundred and twenty minutes electric cur- rent You don't need pencil to figure that. The soapstone electric product is an electric iron of four parts including the cord, one- piece heating element. A child can take it apart and reassmble 1t. Repairs are elimi- mated.

FARMERS OF EAST ARE
ASKING ABOUT MONTANA

Numerous inquiries for informa-
ton about Montana are being re-
ceived at the Milwaukee railway
offices and by chambers of COM
merce throughout the state from
farmers in the central and eastern
states, according to I'll. r.. Wahoske
of Great Falls, division freight and
passenger agent for that road.
At the present time, the Milwau-
kee is running an exhibit and pub
Lefty car throughout the east adj
vertising the many possibilities
this state offers to the farmers.
Agricultural exhibits showing the
wide range of products that can
easily be raised in the different
parts of the state, the very mod
crate prices at which land can be
bought in Montana compared with
prices in other sections of the coun-
try, and the high yield and fine
quality of grains and grasses pro-
duced in the Treasure state are at
tracing a great deal of attention
among the farming element of the
states farther east.
''People from all parts of the

to large influx of homeseekers to

HELENA REPORTER
WRITES A NOVEL
AUSTIN PARKER, FORMERLY OF
THE INDEPENDENT, SCORES
HIS SECOND SUCCESS
After Being Fired Out of College He
Went to Work On New York
Newspaper Until War Broke Out,
When He Enlisted.

Being fired from college for
possessing an excess of literary
zeal not exactly appealing to the
cultivated tastes of an eastern coll
lege faculty, does not seem to have
stood in the way of Austin Parker,
SON of Mr.. and Mrs. w. II. Parker,
of Helena, and formerly reporter
on The Independent, for Parker
has succeeded in putting over his
second fiction success.
Here's to the Gods" is the rather
reckless title of the new book, which
is published by the old house of
Harper & Brothers, New York.
Austin Parker left here before the
United States got into the World War
to attend Cornell One day his old
newspaper friends received a tele-
gram that he had been fired from
school for mixing some modern police
news or "Town Topics stuff with
the literary productions usually
crowding the columns of a college
newspaper.
No one wept in Helena when Aus
tin Parker was canned" No one
thought he deserved it, but just put
it down that he was entirely too west
ern for Cornell and waited for the
next news from the front. Parker's
stuff may not have suited the faculty
at Cornell but it made hit with the
New York newspapers and he got
job on one as a reporter until the call
of his country took him to France,
where he made splendid record with
the air forces both of the United
States and France. Returning to
America he married Phillis Duganne,
a young writer who had already
achieved some notable successes.
Now comes Austin Parker with
his second novel, and it promises to
be one of the big ones judging from
the notices he is receiving. The New
York World has this to say of the
book Heres to the Gods":
''Of all the books we have read re-
Gently regarding that much mooted
question, the younger generation, we
find Here's to the Gods the most in
in scope, in
5eresting in method of handling and
interesting in its sympathetic knowl-
edge of its subject matter.
'We have used the word inter
ssting' advisedly, since Here's to the
Gods falls far short of perfection
At times the story me-
anders along uncertainty and waver-
ngly. Like motor being tested.
like a baby learning to walk. But,
ike the baby learning to walk, it's
more tottering days are at the begin
ling. Once "Here's to the Gods"
inds its footing, it goes along quite
unless trapped by the pit
alls which even the most competent
ire bound to meet in fiction writing.
"But technicality aside, Here's to
he Gods is fine novel, rich with
haracter studies and splendidly mag
Iificent in theme. We strongly rec
it to the younger genera
ion. Let them see themselves mir
ored in fiction"

Oil from the Maginnis we'll was
brought into Lewistown recently by
some interested citizens who made a
trip to the well to see if there was
any amount of free oil in the hole.
A maeshift receptacle was lowered
and came up with considerable oil in
it. This was examined by number
of people in Lewistown and found to
be considerably heavier than the Cat
Creek oil. The local men who are
completing this well say that this
gathering of oil in the hole may mean
nothing, so far as assuring CONNER
cial well is concerned.

Takes to a Tree
Dad "Giyes Son Away,

Generally speaking, as we under
stand it, the father gives the bride
away at wedding, but it remained
for "Uncle Sam" Hampton, editor of
the Belgrade Journal, to put the re-
verse English on the custom.
Mark, the youngest son of Hamp-
ton, got married recently to a charm
ing young woman of Belgrade. Uncle
Sam was present presumably and so
far as the account of the wedding
published in a Bozeman newspaper
goes (the wedding took place at
Bozeman), he didn't play a particu-
larly important role at the ceremony,
aside perhaps from proffering con-
gratulations and kidding the couple
at the wedding feast which followed.
But when he got back to Belgrade
he gave his son away in this write-up
in his newspaper:
He learned to walk in Texas,
raise corn in Oklahoma, went to
school in Kansas, picked oranges
and chased chiggers in Florida,
took singing lessons in Illinois and
punched cows and rode bad horses
in Montana, where he learned to
swear after he bought his first
Ford.
Which shows that the old man
evened up with sonny for all the dew
ilment of the latter's kid days down
in Texas and Oklahoma. Son., how
ever, is half owner of the Sidney
Herald and it is likely he will give
father away in fashion one of these
