From college glees to standard
classics, from church carols to pre-
Volstead drinking songs, from fin
ished concert work to the lighter
themes of vaudeville - this is the
versatile gamut achieved by the
Treasure State quartet, whose
varied repertory has captured the
hearts of many hearers of Butte
and other Montana cities in which
they have appeared.
This veteran organization of
trained vocalists made a distinct inn
preston last night at the opening
show of Bagdad temple, Mobiles of
the Mystic Shrine, in the new temple
auditorium, where they will sing
again tonight.
AS is it's custom, the quartet sang
two ditties especially composed for
the occasion. In one the joys of be-
ing a fisherman were set forth. In
the other the pleasure afforded by
this brand-new theater were set forth
in rhymed harmony.
The four singers comprising the
Treasure State quartet are old enough
have outlived the quavering uncer-
tainties of striplings %essaying their
first "close harmony" and barber
shop chords" on some convenient
corner. Yet they are young enough
have lost none of the necessary
pep" of youth, to which they have
added the wellrounded vigor of voice
and the assured musicianship of ripper
years.
Reading from left to right" as
the newspaper captions say, there is
"Abe" Lewis, first tenor and n time
famous boy soprano of St. Peters
church in Helena, in which city he
was born back in-well, let "Abe"
tell you if he will! In addition to
his splendid voice, which is frequent
ly heard in St. Johns church, Mr..
Lewis is widely known as one of the
accomplished pianists in the
northwest.
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1924-06-05

Next in order comes Reuben Hobbs,
who has been singing second tenor
in various Butte quartets for some
years. A graduate of the University
of Illinois, Mr.. Hobbs in college days
was a valued member of the u%nivers-
ity glee and mandolin clubs. Some
years ago, when Butte music lovers
were fewer in number than now, but
more intense in their devotion to mu-
steal art, Mr.. Hobbs sang in company
with Jack Thomas, Sam Coup and
Fred Sully. One of the frequent en-
gagements of this quartet was at the
home of Mrs. d. j. Hennessy, whose
musical evenings are a happy mem
DRY in the minds of many Butte folk.
Mr.. Hobbs also sang for some time
in st. Patrick's choir.
When the mellow tones of the
Treasure State q%uartet's baritone So
loist greet the listeners ear, it is
with no small degree of pride that
Butte people point to this delightful
singer as a homegrown product"
Smiling "Dan" Malloy was born and
reared in Butte, and educated at the
University of Michigan. He sang in
the Butte high school quartet, and in
1928 contributed greatly to the
success of the famous University of
Michigan Glee club. Since returning
to Butte Mr.. Malloy has been singing
intermittently with the choir of st.
Patrick's church.
'Chuck" Towne, who hits the stump
when singing bass for this mining
city aggregation, affords something
of a comedy relief" to the more seri-
Gus efforts of the quartet. Just as
the organization entrusts its instru-
mental work to the capable hands of
Mr.. Lewis, the task of writing jingles
appropriate to, and to be sung on spe-
cial occasions, is entrusted to Mr..
Towne, who, being a publicity man,
is expected to turn off prose or verse
by the yard without turning a hair.
But it is ensemble work, rather
than in individual achievement, that
the quartet really shines. AS one
critic recently phrased it in a news
review "this quartet sings with
fine expression, especially good enun-
citation and finished style"
eff that is so," one of the quartet
remarked when shown this criticism,
cit is only because our middle name
is Hard Work. On six of the seven
days of the week, we rehearse regu-
larly for an hour or more, because,
to p~araphrase an old saying about ap-
pies and doctors, AN hour a day
keeps the discords away. Butte

PRESERVATION OF Woop

There are now employed number
{. processes whereby wood can be SO
altered in character that it becomes
almost fireproof, and is no longer LA
BILE to dry rot of the disintegrations
ts1at come under the head of decay.
Unfortunately many of these sys-
tens have disadvantage in the mat
.ar OF expense or in the difficulty OF
working the material with ordinary
tools, and so the inventions are neg
lected.
Under what is probably the best
method, the wood, after having its sar
extracted by air suction in closed
vessel, is charged with solution of
metallic salts, the entire treatment
occupying about four hours. 1t is said
that the green wood thus treated
neither shrinks nor warps, thus OBJ
waiting the seasoning generally nee
essary, and that soft woods become SO
hardened that they can be utilized for
purposes for which tney were quite
unsuited in their original conditions,
and become almost incombustible and
capable Of receiving a high polish.

Farm Timber Sold Too Cheap

b. Farm Timber Sold Too Cheap
ga representative of the department
recently returned from the rich Maui
NEE River region of northwestern
Ohio, where he has been studying the
problems of increasing the forest wood
lot product and improving the market
for It. Just before he left, he asked
one farmer If any timber had been sold
from his place lately. The farmer re.
piled very sadly that he had sold his
timber that summer and that the buy
er had got the best Of him. When ask
ed about the terms of selling, the
farmer said that the buyer had hung
around for two months and after they
had become very well acquainted, had
assured the farmer that he could estt-
mate the value of the timber very
closely. He had then made an offer
which the farmer had accepted without
further investigation.
The sale was made for all the tim
Der on the six and one-half acre wood
lot for the lump sum of $3.50. The trees
were very tall, clean, medium-sized,
high grade white and burr oak, with a
few hickories. All were clear Of limbs
and were ideal timber trees. By Sc
timating from the tops and the stumps
which were left, the forester found
that the tract showed yield of nearly
14,500 board feet per acre. Allowing
10 per cent for possible defect, which
is a liberal allowance for such thrifty
stand, the yield was something more
than $4,000 foot. The average price of
white oak stumpage per thousand
board feet In this locality is SIT,
though the high grade Of timber on
this wood lot was worth from SIS to
$40. Figuring at SIT, however, the
timber included in this sale was worth
$1,436 as 1t stood In the trees; or, In
other words, the farmer had permitted
the buyer to secure one of his valuable
farm products for $1,176 less than the
farmer should have received.
r The remedy for this condition pro-
posed by the Department of Agricul-
ture Is that farmers, before they sell
their wood lot holdings, should get In
touch with the state forester or the
state agricultural authorities, and Sc
cure advice as to what trees should
be cut and. If possible, an estimate Of
the amount and value Of the timber to
be sold. Even when It is not easy to
secure advice of q forester the farmer
should at least get several bids before
making sale.
It should also be- kept in mind, says
the department, that the future value
Of the woodland tract depends on the
way it Is cut. To allow local buyer
to go In and take everything usually
means the end Of that wood lot as a
source of money. On the other hand,
If there is contract which provides
that certain desirable, young, thrifty
trees be left to form the nucleus of a
future stand. the value of the tract
can be increased from one timber crop
t0Fanother.

The County Agent and

titS SOlHty agent ara
Profitable Agriculture
The county agent is a part of a great
agricultural movement. This move.
ment has for it's ultimate purpose the
building up of q country life that shall
be wholesome, attractive, cultured, eff
ficient and profitable. There are many
sections OF our country today that
have one or more of these conditions,
but the sections where all are found
in happy unison are comparatively few.
The desire of those who are thinking
on rural problems is that rural com
munities everywhere shall be whole
some, attractive and cultured, and that
each individual shall receive a fair re-
ward for the labor done and the CAPT
tai invested. The county agent has
one dominant part in this program.
While he may take other parts, his
primary function is to help make agri-
culture efficient and profitable. In pro-
portion as agriculture is made profit
able will the community become at
tractiye, cultured and t. place whole
some and desirable to I've in.
Just what is meant by profitable
agriculture? Simply this: There shall
be a reasonable return on the capital
invested in farming and reasonable
return for the farmers labor and man.
agerial ability. A farmer, like any
other man in any other business, is en-
titled to just what he earns and no
more; but what he earns should be
sufficient to give him and his family
some of the more essential conven-
fences Of modern life, time for study,
some recreation and opportunity for
education fov his children. With some
money in his pocket the farmer will
support the church, place conyeniences
in his house, magazines and literature
on the sitting room table, and send
his children to the best schools with
very little outside prompting.

Smoky AchlIl

One Of the smolEiest places on earth
is undoubtedly Achill, Of the coast of
Mayo, Ireland. A smoky atmosphere IL
not an unknown thing in any Irisn
cabin, but in Achill the greater the
smoke the higher the satisfaction of
the natives, for there smoke means
potatoes, and potatoes mean food.
1t is to one of the methods of pro
curing SCOT that the islander owes the
smoky condition Of his cabin. SCOT lie
must have, or the potatoes will not
grow. In the titled ields he erects lit.
lie huts called scawhogues, formed by
craw5 or sod Of heather from ths
mountains. Within these hut. he keeps
a fire of peat burning Tor six weeks or
two months at the end Of which period
the scaws are, from their continual
impregnation with smoke, transformed
into SCOT.
Turf or peat is abundant on the is
land, and the large fires cost nothing.
