DOCTORS KEPT WEATHER
Army Medical Department Has Credit
 For First Official Observation.

1
 The credit for taking the first official observations of the weather belongs to the army medical department according to records recently reported by Profes- sor Humphreys of the United States weather bureau. An order, dated May 2, 1914, makes itfl duty of hospital sur geons to keep z diary of the weather; and one such journal, kept at Cam bridge, Mass, is dated July, 1916. We | read in the Joul lal of the American Medical association:
 This order al sears to have been heartily indorsed bJ the first surgeon general of the army, Gen Joseph Lowell, appointed in 1918. In urging the ap- proval of the order, he says: Every physician who makes a science Of his, profession or arrives at eminence in it will keep journal of this nature. as the influence of weather and climate upon disease, especially epidemics, is perfect ly well known. Every surgeon bhculu be furnished with good tnermometet, , and, in addition to a diary ot the Wet ther, should note everything relative to the topography of his station, the climate, complaints prevalent III the |, vicinity, etc., that may tend to discover the causes of diseases, to the promotion | OI uGEGtl, anu Cuc Improvement O1 uucul- cal science The first volume of the meteorological observations by the army medical department, covering the years 1S22-1o25, inclusive, was published i'll 1926. One purpose of this publication was to stimulate the study of the ques ton, then under discussion, whether i there Is, any progressive change in the climate Of any portion of the country, and, If there Is, how It is related to ser- clement and cultivation, a problem that mas not yet been solved ill all its de- tails. One ,of the most important eli matic generalizatlons thus obtained was the fact that near large bodies of water the climate is more equaule than it Is far inland.
 Those who have read the protocols of the laborious observations madA by the pioneer American physiologist, Mi liam Beaumont, Un the gastrlc CON tions in his classic patient, Alexis W Martin, may recall the metlcuIous cafx| with which he recorded meteorologlcu. details. From one group of experiments Beaumont concluded that the varla- tions of the atmosphere produce effects on the temperature of the stomach, u dry atmosphere increasing and a humid one diminishing it.

law. From the law itself it will be seen that no tax is placed
on gross productions of less than $1OO,0OOOO annually.
Dan Kelly and a number of hangers-on of like ik, are froth-
ing at the mouth with rage and trembling with fear as they rush
heller SHELTER from place to place predicting the direst calamity:
they will lose their jobs the instant the metal mines tax measure
becomes a law. While it is always a catastrophe to any individual
to lose a job, it would appear that the corporation would be money
ahead to dispense with the service of men of the Kelly type. They
would undoubtedly save more than enough money to meet their
rightful obligations to the state.
There is no farmers organization, or organization of any
kind, for that matter, employing even a small per centage of the
lobbyists on the payroll of the mining companies. The fat salaries
paid to these fellows and the money they are permitted to spend
must run into a huge figure. 1t seems safe to hazard a guess
that the proposed tax would not equal the amount of money spent
by the companies in attempting to defeat the law.
When simmered down TO final analysis the arguments take
a very concrete form. 1t is purely a question of the mining
companies paying the amount of tax they rightfuly should pay
and the farmers being relieved to that extent of an overburden
they have already borne too long.
A feature of this measure that should appeal to every tax
payer OF the state is the disposition to be made of the revenue
derived. Section IL of the bill says: fifty per cent of all license.
taxes, penalties and interest collected by the state treasurer under
the provisions of this act shall be by him paid into and deposited
to the credit of the general fund of the common school interest
and income fund. This means that Sweet Grass county and every
school within its borders will receive a direct benefit from the
enactment of this measure.
Petitions are now being circulated throughout the county
and regardless of the arguments presented by the copper press
PLAIN common sense should tell every person interested in agricul-
ture that 1t is to their advantage to not only sign these petitions
out TO secure as many additional signatures as possible. If Won
have not had an opportunity to place your name on one of these
petitions, drop in at the News office and register in favor of .

"sPILLNG" THE PROvERBIAL BEANS"

Like the causaand-effect theory of "fire" and Smoke" a
certain rumOr is being nOised around the state so persistently that
it has taken on a credence possessing all the earmarks of certainty.
1t has yet to be denied that a certain prominent northern Mon
tana attorney, said to be a resident of Great Falls, having recently
looked too hngerngly, as well as too unwisely, upon "second-run"
homemade hkker, or its prescription equivalent in anti-Volstead-
ian alcoholic content, in a certain prominent Helena hotel noted
for the bibulOus tendencies of certain of its guests, especially,
during legislative assemblies, Spilled" the prOverbial Oceans"
by publicly making the rather private assertion that a certain
large mining company in Montana "had set aside, and was pre-
pared to expend, the enormous sum of 100000 to defeat Cover
nor Dixon" and that "this company would pick every successful
candidate, either democratic or republican, in the November cleo
ton"
One cannot but wonder what the eastern stockholders of this
great, big, small, ~tax-dOdging corporation would say,-f they
knew of it-abOut these six-tenths of a million dollars being
thus un-Americanly sQuandered for petty political purposes, in
stead of being rightfuly paid to them in the form Of honest
quarterly dividends on their honest investment.
Perhaps this horrible condition could be corrected if the
stockholders of big corporations would read the news and edi-
torial columns of independent newspapers as diligently as they
read the "cut and dried, and frizzed and fried annual financial
statements prepared expressly for out-Of-the-state consumption
by the credulous.

What Is T~heosophy?
Continued
By F. Milton Willis

(COntinued)
The power of approximating the truly ultimate knowledge
observer rather than, as in ordinary science, upon the development
observer rathe rthan, as in ordinary science, upon the development
of the instruments with which he works.
Theosophy is not an isolated system, coming forth for the
first time. it has been expressed in a more or less tragmentary
way by the scriptures of all religious, even those OF the remotest
antiquity; and the very fact that the modern theosophical mvestl-
cations into superphysical things confirm many of the revelations
of the scriptures and illuminate their Obscurer illusions, ADDS new
majesty to the scriptures themselves and aids in convincing the
inquirer into TheosOphy of its singular value and significance.
TheosOphy is the teaching given in the Mysteries OF old and
by the greatly misunderstood true mystics of all time. For in
stance, the true alchemists were theosophists and sought not the
transmutation of base into noble metals, lead into gold, but the
conversion of the baser portions of their own natures into the
nObler. They sought to unveil the Divine Self hidden in the
heart, to evolve within themselves the three divine aspects of
the Love and Power that they might become
of maximum service to their fellowmen and to all life besides, in
such ways as have caused it to be said that the true Occultist
practical theOsophst) is one who goes through the world doing
good, yet leaving no trace behind.
Theosophy has been accepted, under various names, every
where, during all time, and by all classes of people. The truth
in the religions of the world-that which is really the religions
themselves, free from theological speculatiOns-is always a frag-
ment of TheOsOphy; for it is this inner side of Nature and Con-
seriousness that the Great Teachers, such as Vyasa, Hermes,
ZorOaster, Orpheus, Buddha, the Christ, always reveal. And as
these Great Ones give out only so much and such portions of the
inner truths as are likely to be of use to quicken and guide the
evolution of the people among whom They appear and teach, and
the descendants of these people and those who become affiliated
with them, these sacred teachings assume different forms-the
several systems of reigion-n response to the various needs of
the peoples to whom they are given.

Editorial Digest OF the Week
From Sweet Grass Zig TIMBER News

From Sweet Grass Zig Timber) News
The Copper controlled papers of the state are raising the
old hue and cry that the mining industries will close down per-
manently if the proposed metal mines tax should become a law.
This is the same old club that the companies have held over the
farmers since the inception of the corporations. On certain oc-
casions the companies have carried out this threat to the extent
of temporarily suspendng operations. However, during the year
1923 the Anaconda Copper Mining company distributed $4,000, 600
to its stockholders in dividends. 1t is unreasonable to believe any
group of men could or would sacrifice this huge sum of money
merely to avoid payment of a lust Indebtedness to the state.
While the big interests are attempting to make it appear
that the proposed tax on gross output is of such proportions as
to make mining wholly Improbable, the facts in the case do not
warrant this assertion. Quoting from section four of the pro-
posed law we find the amount of tax to be as follows: one fourth
of one per cent of the amount by which such gross value of
product exceeds ~$lO0O00O0 and does not exceed $780, OO! 90
One-half of one per cent of the amount by which such gross value
of product exceeds ~S250,O00.0O and does not exceed $40OO OO. 90
three-fourths of one per cent of the amount by which the gross
value of product exceeds $400,000O0 and does not exceed $780,
10000 and one per cent of the amount by which the gross value
of products exceed S5O0,OO0yO0.
The contention has been brought forward that many small
operators would be put out of business if this measure was enacted
