RATE RULING AIDS CATTLE
SHIPPERS OF MONTANA

Cattle consigned to eastern mar
kets from Montana points of Logan,
may be removed from cars at east
ern Montana points for grazing and
subsequent shipment to the market
originally designated at the carload
rate from the home station to the
market, effective August %, accord
ing to information recently received
by the state railroad commission, from
the Northern Pacific railway.
The order permits western
ranchers to take advantage of the
surplus hay in eastern Montana in
fattening their cattle for market, the
board announced Many ranchers, it
is reported had planned to ship their
cattle to eastern state points for graz
ing preparatory to consignment to
market in the fall. The new tariff
will eliminate payment of local rates
to the grazing point, necessary under
the present tariff. The customary
loading charges will be made, offic-
ials stated.

The northwestern states are
nearing the fall season with an inn
proyement in general conditions
noted by President Ralph Budd OF
the Great Northern railway, that
hardly permits OF comparison with
the situation of 80 days ago.
President Budd, in Great Falls re-
Gently was very enthusiastic in MS
comment on the present SITUATION
Mr.. Budd enthusiasm had its origin
in his summing up of the general SIT
uation as the returns of the year are
about to be realized.
'"There has been a wonderful i'm
provement in the last go or 80 days,
said President Budd "The change
for tie betehr places the northwest in
a position that can hardly be recog-
nized as the present is compared with
the early spring and summer Great
er returns to the agricultural indus
try, district progress in re-estaDllsh-
ing confidence and universal better
ment of the farming situation are ac-
countable for the greater portion OF
the change.
"Four states, Montana, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, and Minnesota
will this year realize an increase of
from 1925, 100000 to $250,000,0OO
farm returns over last year. The eff
feet of this on the industry of agricul-
ture and individual prosperity will be
very great. 1t will be a tremendous
factor in bringing about complete
recovery from conditions which have
existed in the last few years.
'It was but a few months ago that
government relief was sought for ag-
riculture in the northwest. The larg
est amount asked in legislation pro-
posed was $50,000,000, and now four
states will realize about five times
that through the increase in returns
over last year, and will have no part
of it to repay. There is every reason
to look ahead with complete conf
dence in the northwest and there is
evidence enough that these states
will quickly return to the normal that
they formerly knew"
President Budd's most recent visit
to the state was occasioHed by
meeting at Great Falls of the railroad
officials and delegations of citizens
from Gilman and Augusta with re-
ference to the permanent ending of
the CONTROVERSY of long standing
pertaining to the establishment of a
permanent terminus for the branch
line which serves that community.

IN THE NATURE
OF THINGS
BY GRACE E. HALL

yK7HEN the founts OF endeavor seem
" empty and dry,
And the urge to press onward breaks
down in sigh,
When your ensign of hope like bird
furls its wings,
You are certain to fail-in the nature
of things.
When you look on each day through the
folds of shroud,
You are likely to note all the gray in
each cloud,
II you hear but a dirge when the feath-
cred troupe sings
Then you're certain to mourn-in the
nature of things.
If you give up the race through feel
ing of doubt,
You will never go far on the roads
leading out;
But you'll pluck the ripe cluster wher-
ever it swings,
If you hold to your faith-in the ma
ture of things.

to get a good meal with the snow on

Dog at the farm on the hill.

up, slapped his sides and began to
laugh. HE might" he said. HE
might! Mr.. Dog Is always ready
enough to listen IL you approach him

Mr.. Fox sat down again and was
lost in thought for some time. Then
he ran out Of the house straight
toward the farm on the hill, and when
he came to rock which was on the
other side of the fence from Mr.. Dogs
house he jumped on 1t and sat down.
Pretty soon along came Mr.. Dog,

PATIENCE

THE quaint old-fashioned name of

significance. Not only does it repre-
sent an abstract virtue which religion
deems undesirable, but it is also one
of the names of holiness. 1t means
bearing up" and is regarded entirely
as an English name though its origin
Is with the Latin.
The title Plus, applied first to faith
full filial love as in the "Aeneid,"
came to have higher significance
with the advent of Christianity. I'm
der Antonius Plus it became the name
of martyr pope and later was used
most frequently as one of the papal
appellatives. Pia, the feminine, is
still in use in Italy.
The English translated the virtue
expressed in the title of Plus into
their Patience, occasionally varying it
with Piety and Prudence, which they
seem to consider Identical The Puri-
tans are responsible for the vogue of
Patience both in England and in this
