have been simplicity and truth, but
when an audience accords them ap-
proval, then I know I have touched
a responsive chord, a mass sym
pathy that is distinct happiness and
satisfaction to me. The intellect
is paramount we say. the feeling is
deeper than that and instinctively
we humans love light. sunshine and
honesty and We want to find these
qualities in the heroines in the books
we read and the plays we see.'

ROBERT YETSINGA
IS new MANAGER

At a meeting of the partnership
stockholders in the StOry-Winsler
Motor Sales Co., held this week, it
was decided to change the name Of
the corporation to the Bozeman Auto
Co., which name was suggested Oy
Mrs. 'Bine' Story, and accepted as tho
most appropriate, the shortest and
the best all round name for the big
local auto sales organization.
According to a display announce
ment, appearing elsewhere in this pa
per, Mr.. Robert Yetsinga, a well
known Gallatin county man, has re-
Gently purchased the interest in the
business formerly owned by Carl Il

most of which was probably spent in
the city of BOzeman, as the recipients
theseOf are all residents of this city.
In the year 1923, there was patent
ed through this office 65, 5,031.855 acres,
There was filed upon during said
period 41,128.99 acres, and there was
final proof submitted on 49,210.33
acres, in the entire district controlled
by this office There still remains,
exclusive of public lands withdrawn
for power sites, stock drives, and
other executive withdrawals, a total
of 161, ,156 acres and there is unper-
fected entries of land in the district
amounting to 165, ,452 acres. In Gal

435.06 unappropriated, subject to c.
try, public lands, exclusive of with

flee at Bozeman did a thriving busi-
ness and was one of the most activ-
institutions in the county. rs yea )
have passed and the available and
desirable homesteads have decreased
in number, the business of the Land
office has gradually decreased; but
for years to come Uncle Sam will
probObly maintain his headquarters
in the city of Bozeman for the dispO-
sition of the remaining public lands
and the perfection of titles thereto
and the maintenance of said office
will - the future as in the past, ma

Pugh tells Of the enjoyable meeting
and concludes: "And l think l shall
always be homesick for the good old

BOLD Thief TRIES
To STEAL BIG CAR

While standing in front Of the
Bozeman hotel Monday night about
9 o'clock, talking to a friend, Bob
Yetsinga, manager of the Bozeman
Auto company, received the shock OF
his life when he saw his big red
Buick car being driven eastward with
a strange man at the steering wheel.
Mr.. Yetsinga was talking to Justice
of the Peace Ed A. Franks, and was
within 20 feet of the car when the
thief entered it and stepped on the
gas. The owner took after the We
hicle and had just about taken hold
of the rear fender when the new drlv-
er "got 'er in high and left Mr.
Yetsinga following a close second.

BANKS PUT SMALL CHARGE
ON SMALL ACTIVE ACCOUNTS

Following the example set many
months ago by banking institutions
in all the larger cities of the United
States, the four Bozeman banks will
begin to make a charge of so cents
per month against all active checking
accounts that do not average more
than $50 during the month. This
policy was decided upon when it was
learned that an increase in the aver
age number of small active accounts
and in the cost of collecting checks
for small amounts was resulting in an
actual loss to the institutions.
It has been conservatively estimat-
ed that there is a set cost of three
and one-half cents to cash each check,
and when large numbers Of these
come in for small amounts where
there is only a small daily bank bal
ance, the loss is considerable.
To offset this small charge the
banks have arranged to issue what is
known as pre-certified checks in
denominations of $25, $50 and $1OO,
