LOWE Presents Plan FOR COOPERATION
between TOWN And COUNTRY PEOPLE

tablishing an auction day on the first
Monday of each month, where the
farmers from all over the county or
the district from which Bozeman is
fed, could bring in anything they had
to dispose of and have it bid off. He
said this would not cost the farmers
anything, but should be a means to
an end. 1t would give them a chance
20 see what the retail merchants had
to offer for sale, and if there were in
ducements, they would buy. If they
wanted nothing, there should be no
obligations the main point being to
get the people from the rural districts
in the habit of coming to the central
trading point.
Another thought Mr.. Lowe laid
stress on was Interest yourselves in
what interests others" He said COM
munity like this, it might be an ex-
cellent idea for the business men to
visit the people in the country oftener
The first visit might be only a little
affair in which the city man would
meet with the members of a farmers
family and exchange ideas on subjects
of mutual interest, always leaving
personal business out of the question
These visits could easily be arranged
| in which the families of many farmers
could congregate at given spot ant
have a pleasant outing with a din
ner, and with the city people furnish
ing the food and cooking it them
selves for the rest of the people, VIII
should be considered always as guests
He told them to take speakers aloni
who could talk upon matters of inter
est to the farmers, and not of thing
which alone interested the city mar
He said this idea would soon becom
so popular that it would be a pleasur
for the people in the country to at
tend them, and the personal cOntac
would eventually result in establishin
. friendship that would mean prosper
|, ity for everyone.
At the conclusion of his talk, ].
Harader, who was chairman of tn
! meeting, called upon several of tn
: guests for their views of the "Ne'
: sho" plan as presented by Mr.. Low
All were willing and anxious to tt
= out the suggestions offered.

One of Best Small HOtelries In State.
Has 20 Rooms

A marked improvement in the ap-
pearance Of one of Bozeman's Ectels
has been brought about by the i'm
provements made in the Baltimore.
While the hanges make little differ,
ence in the number of guests that can
be accommodated, the attractiveness
O. the hotel has been greatly en-
hanced and the accommodations for
statesmen much bettered.
The lobby of the hotel, before the
change cramped and altogether too
small for the amount of business done,
has been more than doubled in size,
and is now a place of comfort. Ex-
tending half way across the entire
Baltimore block, fitted with new
leather furniture, deep, comfortable
chairs and attractive furnishings
throughout, floored with a special
marble inlaid linoleum, it is really a
most attractive place.
Two new sample rooms have been
installed off the lobby, and these are
as modern as any sample rooms in
the larger hotels of the state. Well
lighted and commodious, they have
special features not often found. They
are called combination sample rooms
in that there is tiny bed and bath
roois attached, which allows the sales

HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
SENDS OUT LETTER.

In order to keep in closer touch
with the eighth grade graduates of
the county and at the same time in
fluence them to continue with their
studies by taking the high school
course, Prof. j. A. Woodard principal
of the Gallatin high school, has writ
ten letter to the eighth grade grad
yates of last spring. According to
Professor Woodland the eighth grade

boys and girls in further schooling.
High school this year will open Sep
tember II. Pupils can register be-
fore that date of they so desire, and
all rural school graduates are espe-
cially urged to register early.
The letter sent by Professor Wood
ard follows:
ave are writing this letter to
eighth grade graduates and others in
terested in high school. We hope
you have decided to enter high school
this fall. There are many reasons
why you should finish a high school
education. This is your best chance;
if you do not now, the chances are
against you ever completing the
course. The demand for boys and
girls with high school training is
greater than ever before

At a joint dinner of the Rotary,
Kiwanis and chamber Of commerce,
held last evening at Kramer's, Gurney
R. Lowe of Neosho, Mo-, presented his
"Neesho" plan for community develop
ment. The gist of the whole plan is
two things, service and friendly CO.
operation. Besides the different civic
bodies a number of farmers attend
ed the dinner and listened to Mo.
Lowe expound his ideas.
"'SFDVICE' is the nut to the en-
tire problem of cooperation" said Mr..
Lowe, who showed upon his chart the
seven important words that were al
ways necessary to keep in mind when
considering service. They were: Sat
isfaction, Efficiency, Reciprocity, Val
ues, Integrity, Confidence and Energy.
The first letter of each of these words
spells Service.
"Belief in Others" said the speaker
is the main thing to be always borne in
mind. After impressing the guests
with this thought, he said that SINGER
ity of purpose with the willingness to
give and take in tn ebroadest sense,
would bring prosperity to any COM
munity.
Mr.. Lowe developed a new sales
theory several years ago along the
ines of community interest and friend
ship. The system was developed point
by point until the leading railroad:
Of the country drafted him into the
service of harmonizing districts. The
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World made further demands upon his
service, and he has since been spread
ing the doctrine of friendship in trad,
throughout the country.
Community sales by the retail mer
chants of the city were argued a
good business. The cooperation of al
the merchants was a factor in hi
argument. Not only the man VIII
pushes, but the conservative and tn
man who demands upon just getting
a restricted trade, are benefited by tn
cooperative sales. In this connection
he suggested the establishing of
trade-drawing day, and made it clea
that Monday was the logical day fo
: the beginning.

RELEASED ON PAROLE

Chester Maggard, brought back to
Bozeman from Utah several weeks
ago on the charge of selling property
that did not belong to him, pleaded

charge of larceny as bailee, and was
sentenced by Judge B. B. Law to two
and half to five years in the peni-
tentiary The sentence was suspend
ed and Maggard was released on pa
iole.
Maggard bought an automobile
from a local concern on contract, but
before he paid for the car in full he
drove it out of the state and sold it
in Idaho. After a search of several
weeks he was located in Utah and
was detained there on advice from
local authorities. He was then
brought back to BOzeman and ar
raigned on the above charge.
In pleading guilty to the charge.
Maggard said he would settle the diff
ference between himself and the own
er of the car if shown clemency by
the court. AS Maggard has a wife
and family the court decided to give
him another chance, so the sentence
was suspended and the man released
on parole. Maggard settled for the
original ear by selling a car he had
in Utah and has gone to work with a
threshing crew.

case a travelling man has valuable
samples, like furs, this is a tangent
benefit and greatly enhances the pop
ularity of the rooms. The shelves in
these two rooms are detachable, so
that in case of crowded accommoda-
tions they can be taken out and beds
installed in their place.
The old writing room, often used
as a sample room for lack of other
facilities in the hotel, is to be made
into a parlor, and the writing desks
and materials will be moved TO one
corner of the spacious lobby.

of this has been fitted up for offices
and is occupied by the Gallatin Coun-

In the primary election held yes
terday to determine which men
should have their names printed on
the ballots for city commissioner at
the November election, Edmund
Burke, of the college, headed the list

of the election was that the friends of

not been filed with the city clerk, and
hence whose name was absent from
the ticket, wrote in Mr.. Hills name
and gave him enough votes to displace
AL. Love as one of the candidates.
Six names will go on the ballots at

three men will be chosen to act as
city commissioners.

Senator Knute Nelson, known as
''the grand old man of Minnesota
died suddenly Saturday night on
board a train upon which he was
returning to his home in this state:
Senator Nelson was 80 years of
age. During the winter he had
suffered with la-grippe from which
he had not fully recovered. He
started from Washington against
the advice of physicians. His death
leaves a vacancy in official circles
which will be felt. He has been
United States senator for twenty
eight consecutive years; has served
in the legislature in both Minnesota
and Wisconsin; was county attor-
new: member of congress In
three congresses and governor OF
the state. He was of foreign birth
and it is said that this prevented
him from becoming a candidate Tor
president. Friend and foe alike,
regret his demise. Reverence was
shown deceased by the people. OF
the state Wednesday when the fun
eral was held at Alexandria, his
home. The body lay in state at
the capitol in st. Paul Tuesday
where due homage was paid the
dead senator and ex-governor by
hosts of people from all parts OF

THE PATH OF FIRE.

Eighty-one million acres of desert
mark the progress of forest ire de-
struction in the United States. All
the tracts which go to make up this
total, in one continuous area, would
cover the State of Wyoming, and
one-third of Colorado more than
one-sixth of the present ti,nbered
area in the United States.
Not once, but repeatedly have
fires swept over the land taking first
the mature forests, then the seed
young growth and weeds which re-
mained or sprang up in their place.
even the soil itself, leaving nothing
but barren, rocky wastes.
The reclaiming of these wastes
now depends upon human efforts.
! Every possibility of nature Is ex,
hausted. Forests must be set out
and given years in which to grow
such size that they again can be-
gin the slow but necessary process
of soil building, watershed protec'
ton and lumber production.
| The reclamation of these deserts
bv human efforts is fitting seque
to their destruction, for here toe
in the destruction the hand of mar
NAV claim its glory. Of all the
fires which burn annually IN oul
| forests, more than four-ffths are
the result of human cause and mos
of these due to pure carelessness.
! A little greater care with cigar
cite and cigar stubs and camp fire.
will eliminate large part Of thi
waste and the annual cost of fir'
fighting.
