emanating from the hub of moviedom for the gen.
eral good of the leading ladies and gentlemen who
make pictures.
While it is untrue that Hollywood is rotten to
the core, as frequently represented, still there have
been in the past sufficient happenings in the i'm
mediate vicinity to establish in the public mind a
question of perfect department at all times on the
part of everybody concerned.
Hollywood intends in future to see to it that
whatever happens within its precincts the details
will not reach the public by way of scandal writers.
Doubtless there are a great majority of perfect
ladies and gentlemen concerned in picture making.
1t is bound to be SO, else the great industry would
not have attained its greatness. This business
could no more prosper in the hands of reckless
and immoral men and women than could any other
large enterprise.
At the core the business is sound and its pro
duct plays a large part in American life. At the
same time, where there are so many sorts of people
congregated an occasional vacuum cleaning is not
amiss for the moral welfare of the colony.
Some day, also, those who bear the response
bility for the press notices, concerning stars and
near stars, sent out by the big corporations, will
have this stuff fumigated and that will also help
restore the movie business to the place of dignity
and respect it should hold in public esteem

Will Objections Avail

One of the burning questions of the hour In
Democratic circles is, is William Jennings Bryan
powerful enough in the councils and camp of that
party to kill off any political ambitions that may
center in the breast of Oscar Underwood. 1t is
conceded to be a matter wholly within the prov,
ince of the party to which both gentlemen hold al
legiance and really no concern of ours, yet as we
journey along toward presidential season one nat
urally turns to speculation and in the past for
many years all speculations have taken Mr.. Bryan
into account either as n candidate himself or as
favorable to or opposed to some other gentleman
likely to become a candidate.
While Mr.. Bryan could never elect himself pres
ident after securing the nomination at the hands
of his party, it is not to be denied that he has on
the rare occasions when he was not a candidate,
succeeded in nominating the candidate of his own
choice, or preventing the nomination of the candi-
date the remainder of his party desired.
Has Mr.. Bryan's power waned? Judging from
his latest attempt to exercise it in opposing the
selection of Mr.. Cox in 1920, it has.
Even though Mr.. Bryan has transferred his
habitat to Florida and processes his conversion
to some of the peculiar southern notions respecting
national politics, the south is the south and remains
characteristically clannish. The South is likely
to resent his interdict against Senator Underwood
of Alabama. If the nomination must go to a
Northern Democrat, the South might regard Mr..
Bryan's advise as worth while. But if the South
can name one of her sons, such advice is likely to
be regarded as superfluous or even intrusive.
Senator Underwood has already taken the tack
that is very sure to discount Mr.. Bryan's disap.
proval of him as a presidential candidate. He
enters the lists trumpeting the claims, the virtues
the pride of the South. Mr.. Bryan will only
alienize himself still further, If he undertakes to
discredit the South's favorite son at the only mo
ment since civil war days when the South had even
a remote chance of supplying the Democratic can.
didate.
Mr.. Underwood Is quite as likely to fail of the
nomination as to receive 1t. But the determine
ton is not Mr.. Bryan's; it will depend largely on
circumstances. The South constitutes the pan
oply of Democracy's array. If the southern lead
ers next year think a southerner has a real chance
they will make the northern Democrats accept a
southern nomination. They will have the power
SO to do.

Repairing Damage

ROCK sPRINGs.-The railroad is
repairing h damage lone to the
north bridge near the coal chutes a
few weeks ago by the flood. New
piling has been put under the bridge
and also the eastern abutment. The
western abutment was SO badly under
mined that 1t was taken down as we'll
as some OF the concrete bottom near
the splllway. The broken blocks of
concrete rave beer dumped below the
spillway and also a lot OF rock. These
will be grouted in to form a sloping
spillway reaching beyond the north
bridge. A new abutment will be
placed under h west end of the
bridge and concrete footing will be
built under the eastern abutment and
the sides OF the bank fixed so that
no damage can be done by future
floods.

The new chemical engine has a tank
capacity of 40 gallons with a refill re

The truck body vas built especially
for the purpose by the Lee Auto com

country west Of the Big Horn noun
tains which is being Investigated as
a possible national park.
The country to be surveyed is in
the shape of a triangle. with one
angle at Bald mountain. one side
running west up Cottonwood creek to
a point across the Montana line. and
the other side going east from Bald
mountain and north along a line that
would include part Of the Crow reser-
walton and the famous peaks of Sheep
mountain and Medicine peak in the
slope of tho Big Horn range would be
included. except a part OF S~agebrush
Flats, and most of the area would lie
WITHIN tne OF Montana.
There would be two entrances to
tho park. II II is created-one from
Hardin and one from Sheridan by
way Of the Sheridan-Lovell road.
The party will return here Septem-
Der 8. when a Inner or some other
public function will be arranged by
the commercial club so hal Sheridan
residents will have an opportunity to
hear unbiased n expert reports on
the feasibility Of the project.

Good and Bad Radicals

The American Bar Association is usually lis
tened to with considerable respect, because it num-
bers among its members some of our best and most
patriotic citizens, as well as citizens of much learn
ing and great wisdom. But the warning of its
committee on American citizenship is not going
to excite any great amount of public apprehension.
This committee of Investigators report the ex-
istence among us of exactly 100000 radicals, all
eager for and working to accomplish the overthrow
of our government and its institutions.
Perhaps there are as many as that, but the
roundness of the figures is something to excite
doubt of its accuracy and to hint exaggeration,
while the term radical" has many meanings, de.
pending on the users point of view.
And there arc as many kinds of radicals" as
the name has meanings. The several varieties
have rather less love for each other than for soon.

who has taken care widely to diversity his crew

that they are a tough lot and that they all hate
him, but he also knows that they cannot mite
against him, and that therefore he and the rest
of the afterguard are in no danger.

SKIM HleH-TEsr CREAM

I y a. y
Most cream producers could realize
more money from their dairy herds II
they were willing to do their work a
little better than It is being done on
some of the farms today. 1t is inter.
esting to watch the tests of cream de-
livered to the various creameries.
Some producers will deliver cream
testing 20 per cent butterfat or less.
while others skim a, cream testing
about 40 per cent butterfat. Many
wish to ask us as to which of the two
patrons is making the most money
from his dairy herd.
Considering that other conditions
the same, then the farmer skimming a
40 per cent cream will have 500
pounds or more skim milk at home
per COW for feeding purposes. II we
figure as we usually do, that 100
pounds of skim milk is worth one.half
bushel Of corn for feeding purposes,
then the producer of the 20 per cent
cream is throwing away annually for
each COW he milks, skim milk equiva-
lent to two and one-half bushels Of
corn. This, however, does not repre-
sent the greatest loss sustained by
the producer of thin cream. Thin
cream spoils much more rapidly than
rich cream and IL creamery is pay
ing special price for cream Of good
quality, then it is usually the one
who skins the richer cream that re.
ceives the Highest price. If the cream
cry is paying the same for poor as
for good cream, then it Is invariably
the producer, Of thin cream who is re-
sponsible for the low average price
paid by the creamery. Moreover, the
one who is skimming thin cream
has more to handle and transport to
the creamery. The creamery opera
tor has more to haudle. and as re-
suit thereof il requires additional Ia
Dor and equipment in the creamery,
either of which the producer will pay
for directly or indirectly.
A cream testing from 80 to 40 per
cent butterfa: is most profitable and
most satisfactory to all concerned
