John $ Success Watched By
 riiends

EOHN SMITH was middle class. Ht
 owned a house at the edge of town
 drove a six-cylinder car that hs couldn't afford, possessed ten friends who were very dear te him, played golf and conducted wholesale grocery busi- ness that paid him q profit of about $10,000 the year. The income of his friends was neither much greater nor much less than his own, says Baltimore Evening News.
 John desired wealth. In an effort to acquire it quickly he began to speculate in futures. Within six months his busi- ness, house and car were gone and he was flat broke. Moved to neighbor. hood where rents were low, and got 2 job with railway company.
 John's friends loved him and were determined not to drop him. True, he no longer had time to play golf with them and ne could no longer entertain them as he had in the days of prosper. ity: but they looked him up at frequent intervals and did their best to remain on intimate terms with him. Their eff. forts were unfruitful. John had his share of pride and he would not accept favors he could not return. Moreover the evidence of their continued prosper ity made him more keenly conscious Oi his poverty, and he watched them mar Iowfy for signs of pity. As an ineyita. ble result his friends began to be III at ease in his pAesence, and John beinl morbidly sensitive, became morose ant ungracious, 50 that at last his friends avoided him and left him to his fate.
 John was not content in poverty, how ever. He labored long and planned shrewdEy, and the big fellows in th' railway company began tp notice him Within year he was division super intendent. Then, with his self-respect restored, he looked up his old friend and began to enjoy them again. They welcomed him heartily.
 Once started uphill, John developed rapidly and began to be an importan factor in the business of railroading He became one of the vice presidents and short time later president of tn railway system with salary of $50, ,OO( year.
 He bouht a fine house, of course, ant a. car with twelve cylinders, and h promised himself the pleasure of enter taining his friends royalty and often His efforts in the, direction were fruit less, however. His friends withdrew into their shells and watched him mar rowly for evidence of sweIl-head. Thi scrutiny, made him self-conscious ant stiff, and this stiffness made his friend ill at ease. o
 John was a fine chap" the friend would say to one another, before sue cess went to his head"

 And the Raggedys, seeing that Mir. Tunky's face was filled with as much pleasure as the two boys faces, agreed with him that it is indeed a pleasure and casts rosy glow about our hearts when, by giving, we make others happy.

I think they do.

Watch for suckers around your garden roses. Most roses are grated on wild stock and unless the shoots which come up from the roots are removed they will eventually take possession of the ground. This it what has happen ed when amateurs complain that their roses revert to the wild type. The cutting should be done just under the ground where they start The wild shoots can be identified readily. They have more leaves and smaller leaves than the plant itself.

Mothers And Their Children
Play In Hot Weather

One Mother Says:
 When the weather is very hot never like to have the children play violent games, yet telling them to be quiet doesn't keep them still very long. At such times I try to Spend as much of the day with them as possible. In the afternoon l make orangeade, or on some such excuse get them gathered around me in a shady place in the yard or on the porch. Then tell them stories or suggest quiet games that they can play with me. Children need to be told how to keep quiet as well as when to keep quiet.

We Women
Should Women Think?

HIN his amusing and informative se-
 ries of travelogue sketches, Abroad
 at Home" Julian Street tells of an Englishman who remarked that Ameri- can men seemed to like their women pretty but dumb This charge against the taste and depth of American men has been made before and since and continues to be made.
 Possibly we women are in better position to deal with this question and answer it than any tourist, monocled Englishman or head-dressed Turkish prince. The question, reduced to the raw, is nothing but this Shall women think?
 I think it was because Eve thought too much about the sweets of an apple that the tragedy of Eden was enacted. Eve wavered between her thought waves and finally thought she would eat the apple. That was one of the first sins of thought and since them some men have tried to discourage us from think ing.
 Under the circumstances it is diffi- cult to understand now why we should be criticized for a lack of thought.
 Don't you think so?
 Women are perhaps more concerned with wrinkles than men. What, ask you, produces wrinkles on the forehead? There can only be one answer. We think too much, and the beauty special ists revel and profit in our mental ex- cesses.
 Don't you think so?
 But the truth of the matter is that men only think we do not think. Still water runs deep and only empty heads rattle. As matter of fact real thought and real beauty are synonomous. It is defective mind which sees beauty where real beauty does not exist.
 I am afraid that the Englishman of whom Mr. Street wrote did not look through his minds eye. He was speak ing purely and primitively as man the animal!
 Do American men like women pretty and dumb? The English, after all, in spite of some libelous statements to the contrary, have a sense of humOr.
 Should women think and do they think?

LEGION HELD GOOD
MEETING MONDAY NIGHT

The local post of American Legion
held well attended meeting at the
Sherman Monday night. There was
a thorough discussion of numerous
topics of Importance to the order,
such as the bonus and a local drive
for memberships. Two teams will
be organized for the membership
drive which will take on the nature
Of a contest, the losing team to pay
some sort of forfeit to the winner.
For later in the season the boys
have some civic enterprises that
they will try to put over. The first
one of these will be a good ball team.
The Legion has been successful in
putting in the field the best strictly
amateur teams the city has ever had
and it is expected that the standard
for this year will be fully upheld.
One of the features of the meet
ing that was very popular with the
bows was a nice feed. The officers
in charge were Commander Listerud
Vice-commander Hall and Adjutant
Ed Camrud.

SCHAFER ADDS COOLING
PLANT TO HIS MARKET

F. L. Schafer, proprietor of Soha-
fer's Market, is making an excellent
permanent improvement in the way
of cooling plant, which practical
ly does away with the use of ice. The
plant can be used either for cooling
by the ammonia process or for manu-
featuring ice.
The main part of the plant has
been installed in the basement of
the building below the shop 1t con-
sists of 7 u horse power electric
motor, which drives a compressor,
which, with the use of ammonia and
water, will cool air to any desired
temperature, and takes the place of
ice at considerable saving after
the first cost.
It is an Armstrong plant and was
installed by the Rocky Mountain
Engineer and Supply Co. of Great
Falls. Gust Norlin, a member of
the company, has personal charge of
the work.

What is claimed to be a new world

to the size of the shot was establish

Rib" Cecil B. DeMille's newest
Paramount picture, which will be
shown at the Liberty theatre next
Thursday for run of two days.
The number of cameras used was
ten, under the direction of Alvin
Wycoff.
The scene was one of destruction,
therefore there could be no retakes.
The six foot spot on which the cam
era battery focused was the double
door to the throne-room where Theo-
dore Kosloff, as King Jaromir, I
awaits the onslaught of he revolu
tionists who dethroned him and sent
him in exile to America.
Over two hundred rabid Reds
fought and cut their way to and
through this door, ripping it aside
as if it were of paper, tearing rich
hangings to shreds, jumping on ma
hogany tables with hob-nailed boots
and committing real damage. Ner-

Low FARE CHANCE
FOR HOMESEEKERS
OPPORTUNITY OFFERED FOR
BETTERMENT ON NORTH
WEST FARMS

Is the spirit of adventure dead?
Is there no counterpart today of the
courage. resourcefulness and dilig-
ence of the pioneer of yesterday,
who wrested from the undeveloped
plains of the Northwest?
This composite question is ans
wered by an emphatic ''No" and
"Yesw by E. G. Leedy, general
agricultural development agent of
the Great Northern railway in an
nouncing details of the special re-
duced rates for homeseekers.
The Land Is There
"There is great opportunity in the
Northwest for successful farming"
declared Mr.. Leedy. "The methods
of half century ago, of course, do
not apply to present conditions, but
the land is there. It is fertile when
used properly and there is an. ever
growing demand for the products of
agriculture.
"Diversifcation is the keynote Of
farming today. The truth is that
the surface has just been scratched.
Large opportunity for profit is
abundant. The one crop system of
farming is passing rapidly. Diversi-
fcation and rotation of major crops
specialization in forage crops, fer
tilization Of soil, intensive produc
ton of special crops on small tracts
and operation of the large farms by
diversifcation. live stock raising and
dairying mark successful farming
today.
One Fare Plus $500
"There still is plenty Of low-priced
lands. There is ample opportunity
for those who wish to remain in this
noble and Independent profession
and who are best fitted by training
for it, and who have the courage to
carry on in the face of discourage
ment and against obstacles just as
did those of earlier days who won
against even greater odds"
The low-priced homeseekers, tick
cts, one first class fare plus 50, will
be on sale the first and third Tues
days of each month, beginning on
March 2 and continuing until NO
vember The tickets will be sold to
points in Minnesota, North Dakota,
Montana, Idaho, Washington and
Oregon. The Great Northern was
among the first Of the northern rail
roads to make reduced rates for the
convenience of prospective home
seekers in investigating the lands on
which they planned to settle, and
since the establishment Of the agri-
cultural development apartment Of
the Great Northern, nearly 1,000,-
600 persons have been assisted in
locating on agricultural tracts in the

les recently indicate a marked re-
vival of farming settlement.

PERRY SENTENCED
In FEDERAL COURT
PURCHASERS ACCUSED OF MUIR
DER COMMITTED NIGHT
LIQUOR WAS BOUGHT

William w. Perry of Wolf Point,
the man who sold moonshine whisky
to John Joshua and Joe Garfield, In
dians, a short time before they are
alleged to have killed Ernest Pipe,
another Indian, last November, on
Monday pleaded guilty and was sem
fenced by Judge Charles N. Pray to
pay a 5000 fine and serve five months
in the Cascade county jail. Perry
withdrew his formal plea of not
guilty.
H. N. Marion, Wolf Point, attor-
ney, appeared before the court to
plead for Perry. He stated that
Perry had encountered adversity be-
cause of illness in his family and
had had financial reverses on a
Roosevelt county farm. Joshua and
Garfield are alleged to have killed
Pipe in drunken fight and Attor
ney Marion told the court that their
drunkenness on the night of the
killing was due to combination q
the moonshine purchased from Perry
and canned heat, purchased at a
drug store. The attorney declared
that at the time the Indians came tc
Perry to get a quart OF ap9a llae
they already had several cans p
canned heat, a liquid Preparation
used for heating purposes.
John L. Slattery, United States
district attorney, replying to Attor-
ney Marion, said that the fact that
the Indians were supplied with the
canned heat should have served as.
a warning to Perry that moonshine
should not be sold to them. The der
fendant himself addressed the court,
saying that he had sold liquor as
means of supporting his family

No End in Sight for
Public Investigations
By WILLIAM +. DALEY
National Editorial Association Spec
ial to The Herald

Washington, March 11.-There is
increasing evidence that the citi-
zens would would be more content
with public affairs if the political
muddle was cleared by more atten-
ton to jurisprudence and less bonn
bastic prattling. Communications
received from representative sec
tions of the country indicate that
the public is growing weary Of the
hue and cry in Congress which
sidetracks the main issues. The
grave matters involved in the naval
oil leases, it seems, have been sub
merged to such an extent that the
thoughtful men are beginning to re
gard the whole affair as a political
frolic. Nobody doubts that SER
ious situation exists and that the
public is entitled to true explana-
ton Of certain transactions.
It would be infinitely better if
the various Investigators would
take time to make distinction be-
tween appearances and truth. 1t IS
remarkable how the genius of di-
vination is possessed by certain
Senators when they are free from
legal redress through congressional
immunity. The spirit of the dema-
gogue is too frequently mistaken
for public zeal. A little reflection,
backed by common sense, will show
that the punishment of offenders,
instead of constant and indis-
criminate revilement is more de-
sirable and will have an impression
upon the country. The need Of the
present hour may be briefly sum-
married. in the words of Ruskin:
owe want downright facts at pres
ent more than anything else"
Consideration of the evidence ad-
duced before the Senate Public
Lands committee Investigating the
oil leases shows that a great pro-
portion of it is circumstantial. The
discovery that President Coolidge
had sent a telegram to Edward B.
Mclean, proprietor Of the Washing
ton Post, provided two-days' SEN
sation. The Chief Executive has
made personal explanation that the
telegram referred to the chairman
of the G. 0. P. for the District Of
Columbia. What promised to be q
real thriller turned into a fuke, as
the message, according to Mr.. Coo
lidge, related to local politics and
subject far remote from oil prob
lens. In Republican circles the feel
ing exists that the message may be
misinterpreted but they hold that
even q slight imprudence has never
been considered crime.
The Importance of Mclean and
his kilograms have been unduly mag

COOLIDGE RAISES
TARIFF ON WHEAT
INCREASED FROM 30 TO 42c-
FLOUR AND FEED ALSO
IN EFFECT SOON

Washington, March 8.-An in
crease of 12 cents a bushel in the
tariff rate on wheat was ordered Fri
day by President Coolidge.
Acting under the flexible provis-
ions of the tariff act and on the
basis of the tariff commissions re-
cent inquiry, the president at the
same time ordered an increase of 26
cents hundred pounds in the duty
on wheat flour and a decrease of
10 per cent in the ad valorum rate
on mill feeds.
AZ Cents New Rate
The new rate on wheat will be AZ
cents per bushel as compared with
the present rate of 80 cents; the
new rate on flour will be S1.04 per
hundred pounds as compared with Is
cents, and the rate on mill feed will
be ~ per cent ad valorum as COM
pared to Is per cent.
The new rates as ordered by the
president and set forth in formal
proclamation will become effective
in 80 days.
The increase will become effect
i've in time to be applied to the flood
of Canadian wheat which descends
on the United States about the mid
die Of April each year with the open
ing of navigation on the Great
Lakes.
The advance in rates was sought
to aid particularly the hard wheat
growers of the northwest but the re-
sultant increase in the price OF
spring wheat is expected to be re-
fected in the market quotations on
winter wheat raised in the middle
western and other states.
States Findings
The proclamation setting forth
the new rates was accompanied by
a White House statement saying that
on the basis of the record of the tar

president has found:
