A BRAIN TEASER.

Dave Mckinley, one OF our
most successful farmers and a
man who knows how to make
money on 40 acres with a few
COWS and chickens, while in town
Saturday marketing his butter
and eggs which he says brings
in most of his revenue, gave us q
problem in arithmetic, one
that was a brain teaser when he
was a boy going to school. In
those days few could dicipher
it correctly and he wonders if
the boys and girls of today are
any different.
Here is the problem. Try it.
"a man has a farm and wants
to fence it in, the posts to be a
rod apart and each post to fence
an acre. How many posts will
it take and how many acres of
land are there in the farm?"

Jarvis, Farrens taking both. The

and something was doing every
minute.

TRAFFIC IS
AHEAD OF 1922

The total travel record into yell
lowstone park to August Is, was
102, 926 visitors, as compared with
9S,223 visitors during the entire
1922 season, according to a state
ment issued by the national park
service of the department of the
interior. The department predicts
that all travel records are to be
smashed in the various parks be-
fore the season ends.
The greatest days travel ever re-
corded at Yellowstone park was on
July IS, when 1856 persons entered
according to a report by Superintend-
ent Horace Albright. The record of
the previous year was made on July
%, when 1883 people passed
through the various entrances to the
playground. Up to August Is there
were IL days on which more than
1000 people entered Yellowstone.
Travel in Glacier park this year
has exceeded all previous records, es-
pecia1ly in the number of automobile
visitors. 1t is considered that the de-
velopment of the YelIowstone-Glacier
B line is in part responsible for this.

partnership has been continued un-
til the present day with the exception
of four years, between 1900 and
1904, when The Tribune was owned
by Senator w. A. Clark of Butte.
Though Mr. BOle retired from the
paper as editor when Senator Clark
bought it, Mr.. Warden continued as
business manager and rejoined Mr..
Bole in the ownership when The
Tribune was repurchased.
Grows Up With the State
During all this time, Mr.. Warden
has had all the experiences of the
average editor and publisher, though
The Tribune, under the Bole and
Warden partnership, has had
to borrow money and never has been
subsidized by any person or interest.
1t has paid its own way as it has
gone, growing with the development
of the community and state.
And busy as he has been with the
of The Tribune, Mr.. Warden

"By their packs you shall know
them"
, "If you really want to be sure OF
getting picked up on the road, put
a pack on your back" I listened at
tentively to this advice from a real
girl hiker for in these days one never
knows when one may be set afoot,
both figuratively and literally.
Stationed at a vantage point on
for mixers, particularly girl mixers,
for a space of time, and was amazed
to learn how very many are travers-
ing the continent, poking their noses
into every scenic spot on the map and
ad%venturing over every trail that is
mapped and a generous number they
have discovered for themselves, and
all this with no visible e of To-
comotion save 'Shank's horses"
The EAST half of the United States
furnishes by far the bulk of girl
mixers. From Minneapolis to Boston
they come, following the urge of
Westward Hot" pinning their faith
to a tradition which has seldom been
violated, western courtesy and hospi-
tality.
Out of three pairs of girl mixers
whose trails crossed within "a hours
of each other at my station on the
Yellow Trail, I chose the couple in
the illustration not only as being
most typical but as having compiled
the most interesting and authentic
fund of information regarding mixers
and their experiences.
Young college women, just enter
ing the teaching profession, their
conservative and tradition-bound
families were naturally appalled, at
a plan which took their daughters

has never refused to assume his
share of responsibility in civic mat
ters. He has been actively identified
with the Great Falls Commercial
club almost from the time he came
to the state, and at the present time
is it's oldest director in length of SER
vice. He was president of the club
from 1920 to 1921.
He served on the Great Falls
school board for a dozen years and
was chairman of that body for six
years. He was a member of the
Montana state fair board for 10
years.
Irrigation and Good Roads
It will be noted that he has con-
fined his office holding to those jobs
which draw nj salary and the per-
Torrance of which requires a lot of
earnest work.
During all these years he has had
two shobbies''-or detectives to be
attained for MISUNDERSTANDING and
good roads. Mr.. Warden contends
that Montana needs irrigation to pro-
duce additional wealth and better
roads to get our products to the con-
at less cost.
It is his ambition to bring the
weekly and daily papers of Montana
into a closer unit of cooperation
not only in an economic sense, but in
the sense of unifying editorial labors
in behalf of a greater commonwealth.

WARDEN ELECTED
STATE PRESS HEAD
PUBLISHER OF GREAT FALLS
TRIBUNE CHOSEN AT
BUTTE MEETING
Came to Montana in 1880 and Has
Been With Morning Daily Since
1895; Plans to Increase Member
ship of Newspaper Association in
State.

To have every newspaper publish
ed in the state represented in the
Montana State Press association is
one of the principal detectives that
o. S. Warden, newly elected presi-
dent, has for the conduct of the as
ISOLATION during the coming year. Mr..
Warden is general manager, or in a
present-day term, publisher of the
Great Falls Tribune, one of the larg-
est daily newspapers of the state,
which has attained its present cred
table position through the good team
work of its editor, Colonel William
M. Bole, and Mr.. Warden. He is also
vice-president for Montana of the
National Editorial association.
That the state association will
thrive under Mr.. Warden's leader
ship is the firm conviction of all
those familiar with his activities dur
ing the 29 years that have passed
since he became Mr.. Bole's partner
in the ownership of The Tribune.
He not only possesses keen bust
ness ability and a thorough under
standing of Montana and its prob
lens, but he has a statewide ac-
quaintance, among whom he is adj
mired for his broad sympathies with
all classes of people and all lines of
industry, and for his ability to bring
harmony among those of divergent
views.
Native of New Hampshire
Mr.. Warden was born in North
Haverill, N. H., in 1865, and his boy
hood and youth we're spent in Mon
roe, N. H. He was fitted for college
at st. Johnsbury, VT, from which he
was graduated in 1885. He attended
Dartmouth college for four years, be-
ing graduated in 1889, and came to
Montana in August of that year.
He at once entered the employ of
the Great Falls Leader, being engag-
ed at first as a local news reporter.

AMERICAN WIFE IN FAR
CZECH0-SL0VAKIA LONGS
FOR THE HOME THINGS.

"You may think I'm silly" wrote
Mrs. Julia Kozak, of Prague, to her
parents in Omaha, 'but these are
the things that I want more than
anything else in the world"
Then followed a list of American
products which money cannot buy in
far-off Czecho-Slovakia, where the
young American girl is now living, in
a palatial home, with her husband, a
wealthy paint manufacturer of
Prague.
"And I want some Grape-Nuts,
and good baking powder (the kind
here doesn't raise worth a cent?, and
some olives, and some real American
pancake flour" the letter went on to
say.
Mrs. Kozak, formerly a violin tea
cher at Darlington Seminary, Phila-
delphia, vas born and raised in
Omaha. Two years ago, she mar
ried Mr.. Kozak, and went to Czecho-
Slovakia. Although most enthus-
iastic in her description of her lux
urious home, her summers at the
fashionable European resorts, and
her winters in Switzerland, she still
longs for the familiar comforts of
her childhood days and declares that
nothing can compare with life in
America.
In response to her letter, her ia
Their, Charles Stenicka, of Omaha,
has gone to visit his daughter, cross
ing the Atlantic laden with Grape
Nuts and other all-American prod
ucts.
