MOTHERCRAFT
By DIR. Frank Crane

People have to learn other crafts,
why is it supposed that anyone is
able to understand mothercraft?
This requires as much ability and
cleverness as anything else. There
are very few mothers and certainly
the demand for motherhood is greater
than anything else. A man cannot
become an artist, no matter what
his ability, unless he first learns how
to WELD the brush. Nor does any boy
with mechanical ability become an en-
gineer without training.
Motherhood is profession and, as
Muriel Wrinch says, 'It is necessary
that woman naturally endowed with
the capacity of motherhood should
look upon it as a craft"
A mother Shouldbe to some extent
educated intellectually. Of course she
needs capacity for devotion and self
sacrifice, but the emphasis on intel
lectual work has not been stressed.
She will have charge of growing
minds and these must be fed in the
right way. The mother is not only
the first, she is the most important
teacher.
She needs physical education.
Children require longer and shorter
hours of sleep. different food, and a
varying amount of exercise The
mother should understand the prin-
ciples of psychology and know the
characteristics of the normal child
and understand the reason for its
ceaseless activity.
She must understand why the child
learns numbers more quickly while
playing at grocery store than while
solemnly counting out beans or count

ers. She must know enough about
the mythology of many countries to
understand about princesses and fair
les, giants and dwarfs. She ought to
know enough of natural history to
teach the child to use his eyes and see
the wonders about him.
She should understand the training
of character and be able to teach the
lessons of life to the child so that he
will know how to live.
The study of ethics, philosophy and
practical experience will be of use
to her.
The woman who takes her mother

her duty to train their instincts and
to enforce them by intelligence.

Election Musings.

Common sense trlumphS.
You Can't fool all the people.
Unreliable radicalism has had its
answer.
Next to winner everybody loves a
good loser.
The Dodgeville Sun mournfully re-
cords that holding Blaine up probably
cost Bob thousands of Wisconsin
votes. 1t says also that: "Only Wis
consin stayed American" Everybody
is out of step but papa.
Honest Liberalism as exemplifed by
William Ewart Gladstone, Lloyd
George, Max Harden, Theodore Roose-
welt, Clifford Pinchot, William E. Bor-
ah, Arthur Capper and others always
commands respectful attention. There
is a deserved place for it in the eter-
nal scheme of things. Embittered
radicalism, an effort to make pros
porous and happy people suspicious
and class conscious, has no place. It
sometimes wins temporarily but not
for long. That, to us, explains the
crushing defeat administered La Fol-
lette.

A Mess of Portage.

Illinois voters, asked to vote for
Len Small as governor because he
will give them roads to their door if
they voted in his favor and leave them
wallowlng in gumbo if they voted for
Jones, were up against a moral issue.
If, as it seems, Small is guilty of the
numerous things he is charged with,
an honest man would prefer to stay
in the mud with his conscience clean
even though his feet were dirty. And
if he sold out to get good roads built
by the Small machine he sold his
birthright as a free voter for a mess
of pottage.

His CorpOratiOn Friends.

The National Republican makes the
charge that La Follette's magazine
receives its advertising support from
certain corporations, naming the Wis
consin Gas and Electric Company and
the Milwaukee Electric Light and
Railway company as generous users
of space. Other corporations named
are the American Telephone and Tel
egraph Co., the tobacco trust, the
sugar trust and other corporations
are named as space buyers in La
Follettes paper.
The Herald is not conversant with
what firms advertise in the La Fol-
lette paper nor do we see any reason
for implying edium to La Toilette be-
cause he accepts legitimate advertis-
ing where he can get it like all other
publishers do.
But we do know this: Every pub
lie utility operating in Wisconsin has
every reason to feel grateful to La
Toilette and should advertise with
him consistently. If ever a man and
his system created monopoly for vested
capital La Toilette and his following
stand indicted. By placing all con-
troll of utilities in the hands of COM
mission La Toilette and his order
takers have given the utilities what
amounts to perpetual franchises And
what is still worse they have robbed
every community in Wisconsin of the
God-given right to bargain for their
needs. If ever state was delivered

Wise Old Ben.

wise UI0 ben.
Benjamin Franklin, editor of Poor
Richards Almanac, was one of the
wisest men of his time or any time.
Discoursing Through one of his char
acters) on the human trait to blame
outside influences for hard luck, the
Colonial sage said:
Friends, the taxes are indeed very
heavy, and if those laid on by the
government were the only ones we
had to pay, we might more easily dis
charge them, but we have many 9TH
ers and much more grievous to some
of us. We are taxed twice as much by
our idleness, three times as much by
our pride, and four times as much by
our folly and from these taxes the
commissioners cannot ease or deliver
us by an abatement. However, let us
hearken to good advice and something
may be done for US; God helps those
that helps themselves, as Poor Rich
ard says
"It would be thought hard gov
eminent that should tax its people
one-tenth part of their time, to be
employed in it's service, but idleness
taxes many of us much more; sloth,
by bringing on diseases, absolutely
shortens life. Sloth, like rust, con-
sumes faster than labor wears, while
the used key is always bright, as Poor
Richard says. But dost thou love life,
then do not squander time, for that
is the stuff life is made of, as Poor
Richard says. How much more than
is necessary do we spend in sleep,
forgetting that the Sleeping Fox
catches no poultry, and that there
will be sleeping enough in the grave
as Poor Richard says"

Does the Republican Tariff
Ininre the American Farmer?

A few days ago a man make the
statement that the present Republic
can tariff Disseminated against the
American farmer, operating so that
the farmer bought his goods in a pro-
tected market but was forced to sell
in a world market. He mentioned in
particular such items as farm machin-
cry, saying it was protected and that
by means of protection the implement
manufacturer was able to eXtOrt two
prices for farm machinery.
Since hearing these strong state
ments the writer has received bull
Ietin which sets forth some interest
ing facts. We find farm products of
every description are dutiable so that
the farmer is protected in what he
sells insofar as the home market is
concerned and that is all any tariff
could do.
On the other side of the bulletin
is a list of articles bought by farmers
which are free of duty. The list in
cludes animals for breeding, barbed
wire, binding Irvine, building brick
and stone, coal, cultivators, cream
separators, drills, guano, harrows,
harvesters, horse rakes, leather in
Guiding harness, logs and lumber,
manure spreaders, mowers, oil cake
and meal, planters, pads for horses,
plows, reapers, rope made of hides,
saddles, sheep dip, shingles, shoes,
threshing machines, wagonsS and
(mark this) A GRICULTURAL NIPPLE
MENTS of any kind or description.
The free list takes in rs important
articles used by farmers.
The writer does not pretend to be
a tariff expert and is not qualified to
make an exhaustive discussion of the
tariff. One thing seems certain-as
far as possible the tariff is designed
to favor the farmer. Should it be pos
sible for the implement concerns to
maintain factories abroad so as to
keep the market high all the world
over 1--WE doubt this very much) GER
tainly the tariff makers cannot be
blamed 1t seems to us that the far
mer is favored by the tariff. And it
seems also that people making such
sweeping statements as noted in the
first paragraph of this article should
inform themselves a little bit before
talking on a subject.

Back to the Old Six.

An extraordinary if temporary rush
in the job department has forced the
Herald back to a six-column paper
but we hope it is only temporary. We
much prefer the big 7-column size
and we think the readers do to.
A seven-column sheet is the fond
dream of many an ambitious news
paper man. 1t pretty nearly doubles
the work without increasing the in
come and it adds considerably to the
general expense of the office. On the
other hand it gives a chance for ar
tistic creation far beyond the poss1-
bilities of a six-column spread. For
one thing it is possible to carry con-
siderably more news and to display
and classify the reading better. Dis
playing reading matter is a good deal
like setting table for dinner Flowers
on the board, shining silver, clean
linen, good china, and so on-these
things make a meal taste better al
though the food componentS remain
the same So it goes with news. The
best papers take the time to set good
heads and arrange the news so that
the paper is easily read, and do a
hundred other things that the reader
doesn't sense, perhaps, but make him
like the paper and swear by it. We
very artfully steal into your affection.
We have number of good things in
mind for the Herald. AS time goes on
we will develop them. And soon, we
hope, we will be back on the big
spread again.

West Grant Notes Compiled

and his henchmen are so fond of
bowling about, Wisconsin is that
state.
If La Toilette with his sweeping
and complete power over Legislative
activity in Wisconsin had given us,
the people, a little time and consid-
Grafton toward having home rule and
a right to conduct our own affairs in
a lawful manner the Herald would
be for him on all four feet.
And as long as he and his so-called
"Progressives" stand for paternalism
and domination by a state capitol
group the Herald for one will oppose
him. We stand for Democracy" To
our mind La Folletteism means any
thing else but Democracy"

The "Third Party"
The last successful third party
was the Republican party which at
once became major movement. All
subsequent third party movements,
have failed of political success, either
because they existed solely to for
ward an individuals ambitions, or
because they were captured by the
radical element. Yet true and avail
able third party has always existed
within both the old parties; it con-
sists of the forward looking minds" "
sometimes called the Independent
Vote, that is not obedient to party
bosses, but votes on principle. That
true Third Party is operative today,
and it's leader is Calvin Coolidge. The
so-called progressive movement"
headed bv La Toilette and led by
those radical elements which have al
ways destroyed sanely oAprogressive
third party movements, does not in
clude the great forward looking in
dependent vote of the nation and will
not be given that vote.-Dearborn

have been cowed into submission by
the mere presence of the handful Of
soldiers, but it was doubtless due
more to the pe~ace-loving disposition
of the tribe than to the fear of Am
eriean rifles that Missoula was spared
the horrors of Indian warfare.
At the fort may been seen the
marks of its various stages of devel-
opment. One of the earliest log
quarters still stands in striking con-
trast with the massive concrete bar
racks-the finest and best in the
United States and the new offic-
ers' lines. Fort Missoula does not de-
pend on nature alone for the recrea-
ton of its personnel. There are ten
mis- courts and baseball grounds and
golf urs with a setting more love-
ly than any other in the country. *#*
The gun club is another interesting
activity. = = = Missoula has a popu-
lation of about 10000 and is a clean,
beautiful city. = = +
Perhaps, better than any mere ma
terial advantage offered by the city
to it's soldier neighbors, is the fine
attitude of it's citizens. They want
the soldiers and they like them, and
appreciate the advantages that the
army offers. This is shown by the
fact that there are, proportionately,
more enlistments in the little city of
than anywhere else in the
United States.

MOntananS are urged to cooper
ate with civic and public agencies
and the transcontinentaI railroad
lines in observing the month of
December as Montana Month"
by Governor Joseph Nj. Dixon in
a proclamation issued on Monday,
November 18th.
1.-THE appeal which Montana holds
for the present generation is that
of an empire whose u~ndeveloped re-
sources of surprising variety offer
rich reward in exchange for the work
and the risks of the pioneer" Cover
nor Dixon says The proclamation
continues:
"Our people have emerged from
the trials of the past six years
stronger by reason of their exper-
fence, and efficient because of their
more intimate acquaintance with the
state which they delight to call
home. 1t is fitting that the citizens
of this state acquaint themselves
with the reasons for its potential
greatness, and strive in every proper
way to extend our own view of Mon
tana far abroad.
AlOllLdud Wallis the "
judgment of her sister states only in
the degree t. which her record of
progress and her future promise en-
titles her. The truth about Mon
tana, her resources and her oppor-
tunity, is what we want known and
appreciated. Montana needs men
and women adapted by experience,
and equipped with capital, to achieve
permanent success here. To their eff
fort we pledge the assistance of ev-
cry public agency.
Therefore, I, Joseph M. Dixon,
Governor of the State of Montana,
do hereby designate and set apart
the month of December, one thousand
nine hundred and twenty-four, as
MONTANA MONTH, and call upon
the people through all civic and pub
lie agencies, in cooperation with the
railroads that serve this state, to de-

the government. In 1898 the post
vas abandoned, and for nearly three
years was in charge of Ordnance
Sergeant Pillow and a detachment Of
the Sixth cavalry. 1t was re-estab-
lished through the influence of Sem
ator Thomas H. Carter. Again in
1905 it was slated for abandonment,
but through efforts of Senator Joseph
M. Dixon of Missoula, extra land was
bought by the city and presented to
the government as an inducement to
retain the post. This increased the
of the reservation to 5000 and
some odd acres, something less than
the original area, but a substantial
increase over the contracted limits
of the reservation before the gift
was made. 1t was also due to the
influence and work of Senator Dix
that the war department decided
to make Fort Missoula a regimental
post, and that congress made the
first appropriations for the erection
of the new buildings which were oc-
in December, 1910. Two years
the post was again abandoned
and remained unoccupied until Sep
1921 when one battalion of
the 58th infantry was sent to garri-
son it. In June, 1922, this battalion

AGED MINER Is FOUND
ON TRAIL TO CLAIM

Word reached Dillon recently that
the body of Harvey A. Sullivan, an
aged miner operating a claim near
Grant in Beayerhead county, had
been found dead on a trail between
his claim and the station, by a
neighboring rancher. Death is be-
lieved to have been caused by heart
failure or exertion, as the deceased
had evidently been walking to his
mine from Grant, when death over
cook him.
Mr.. Sullivan was one of the oldest
residents of B-eaverhead county, have
lived there for nearly so years. He
was born October 8, 1874, in Rich
mond. Ind, and came west with the
early gold seekers, located near Ban
mack in 1865. He has always fol
lowed mining, and during recent
years has operated a promising
claim in the Medicine Lodge district.

strain of Bliss Triumphs has gained
an enviable reputation among the
potato growers of the south and is
alread yin great demand.
"The initial tests so far carried on
have been of such an encouraging
nature" says Mr.. Harrington, "that
it is now up to Montana to follow
up the advantages with an intensive
advertising campaign among the po-
tato growers of Louisiana, to build
up a market there for the Montana
product"
With this end in view, the Mon
tana Potato improvement associa-
ton is gathering up a carload of GER
titled Bliss Triumph potatoes in Mon
tana to send to Louisiana, to be di-
vided into ten-pound lots and dis
tributed among the Louisiana club
boys and girls to be grown on the
farms in the various potato growing
sections of that state. This distri-
button and the keeping of accurate
records on the project is to handled
by the Louisiana Extension service.
BY this method Montana potatoes
are put directly in the hands of the
growers, where they can be compared
with other stock. Judging from the
results of the Louisiana experiment
station tests, such comparisons will
be decidedly in Montana's favor. The
proposed plan is simply a practical
means of advertising Montana seed
potatoes in the very center of the
great southern market. The grant
ing of special rates by the railroads
and the assistance of the various or
CARNATIONS reduces the cost Of this
advertising to a low point.
Mr.. Harrington advises that pro-
ducers Of certified seed, commercial
clubs and other organizations inter-
must see that a proportionate
share of the certified Bliss Triumph
seed stock is contributed from their
county, that their growers may share
in the benefit that may be derived
from the project.
The entire shipment must be ready
by January /, as the southern plant
ing season starts shortly after the
first of the year, say Mr. Harring-
ton.
