THE MAGAZINES AND THE NORTHWEST

The articles of Garet Garrett in the Saturday Even
ing Post, bearing on the agricultural depression in the
northwestern states, has wrought the press and public Of
that section to q high state Of agitation. Mr.. Carrots
discussions apply to several states besides Montana and
the Post editor has probably been bombarded from many
sources. Some proof of this is found in a second series of
articles by John 3. Pickett started in The Country Gentle
man, which is also a Curtis publication, putting quite a diff
ferent face on the opportunities to be found in Montana
today. The first article in The Country Gentleman, while
it draws a rather unhappy picture, really amounts to a val
liable, countrywide advertisement that will be attractive
to farmers. Men who are sorely pressed to find any sort
OF promising farm opportunity to get a foothold for the
steep climb to independence. Men who are ready to stake
their slender capital on their energy and their knowledge
Of farming.
So far as Mr.. Garrett is concerned the main fault with
his writings are that they are several years out of date.
Things move and change in the Northwest, especially
Montana. In the course of his rather involved style Of
comparison and analysis he tells a vast amount of truth,
some OF which sounds worse than it is, to those unfamiliar
with the great state Of Montana. All the articles are well
worth reading.
We should not be over sensitive. The papers are tell
ing unpleasant tales about many parts of the country, Just
now. AS for Montana, she can stand the truth. N0fhingI
is Slrer than that her lands will be populated bv people
who will bring development and prosperity. But it will
take time. There is no more basic or dependable resource
than fertile soil Of which Montana has millions of acres.

Jay-Walking Bothering
 Berlin Police Officers

BERLIN, Dec. 19.-Berlin is having hard time putting through it's new traffic regulations which for the most part are patterned upon American models In fact this capital in which cabinet crises are so frequent as to be uninteresting, is now developing into what may be termed traffic cri- sis. Next to campaign news the dis cussion pro and con of the new regu- lations for vehicles and pedestrians occupy most space in the daily press.
 The difficulty seems to be twofold: First, the lack of discipline of the pe- destrians and, second, the morgan ized admixture of pushcarts, autos, electric cars, busses, bicycles and horse drawn vehicles in the streets.
 The Berlin pedestrian regards it as his inalienable right to cross the street wherever he pleases. He will throw himself into the confused jum- ble of vehicles of every description in the middle of the street and insist upon crossing without waiting until he reaches a street intersection. Un- til the German can be taught to bow to the same rules when he is out walking as govern his progress when he is riding, the enforcement of traf- fic regulations will be rendered illu- sorry.

in trying to protect the town from fire.
let US do ours by keeping rubbish heaps
and places where fire might start
cleaned up, and being as careful as
possible with fire about our own homes.
In dry weather 1t is good plan to wet
the house roof and the roofs of out
buildings with the garden hose, also
around the board walks and other
places where leaves and rubbish collect.
This is especially helpful at this time
of year when the children are amusing
themselves with fire crackers.
