Idle Hands
$4,000

isn't it awful to see lot of men
lying around idle?" said Mrs. Gilling-
hurst to her friend.
Lying around idle is not so bad"
replied Mrs. Wartenweiler But lying
around not idle is terrible. An indus
trious man out of work is the most
pitiable object on earth!
"My brother has been at our house
for some time. If he would remain
in restful attitude it would be all
right. Things could go smoothly along.
But Bob cannot lie around idle. He
has to be doing something every
minute.
Yesterday my daughter and
started uptown. When we departed
we noticed Bob looking at the fence.
When we had got about two blocks
from the house 1t came over me that
he was planning something and / got
nervous and ran back home. Sure
enough, Bob was getting ready to
whitewash the fence.
IT didn't want my fence white
washed. 1t Is more artistic-looking
as it is, and, besides, / had geran-
iums and vines trained all over 1t,
and wouldn't let him pull them
down He thought that embarrassing
the fence was job that would last
him an entire day. During the pc
Rod of his 1dloness an all day job Is
the most desirable thing In the world
in his eyes.
"As compromise let him white
wash an old henhouse away out In the
back yard. 1t hadn't been used for
years, but / thought 1t would do no
harm to let him whitewash it He
did a splendid job on it. When ]
weE out to see it he had remodeled
the whole thing and made 1t Into an
arbor.
"He IS a genius at thinking up
things to do. One day there was the
ost ole noise and we thought
the house was on fire and the en-
gines had como. We rushed out to
see what was up, and there was Bob.
He had put long ladder up against
the house and had dragged the garden
hose up to the roof. where he was
busy cleaning out the cutters. He
said he was flushing them out good.
SO they would work better the nexs
time there was heavy shower.
He has put an electric bell under
the dining-room table, where can
ring it by putting my foot on 1t. He
has grated a tree. He sawed, ham,
mered, bound and gagged that tree
until he managed to get two whole
da.s work out of it. He has painted
the board walks out in the garden u
DIRK color. He said there was too
much glare from them.
II never know what he will do next
and am always uneasy. The man
simply must have employment. He
has been after me to order coal for
a week. He wants to put 1t away
and pile it around in various places
In the basement.
'If he doesn't find work soon
shall be obliged to let him do the
washing and ironing or lay in sup
ply of cannon balls for him to pile
around first at one end Of the yard
and then the other" s.,sassszs

Essay OF Pants.


Pants are OF .wo kinds; human and
dog.
The human pants of commerce are
worn mainly by males.
But equal rights prevail among
dogs.
Human pants are worn thicker in
winter and thinner in summer.
A dogs pants come thicker in the
summer.
The dogs lungs are the seat of its
pants. (Date 1875, Hostetter's Alma
nac.)
White pants are not a garment.
They are business to themselves.
The man who wears them doesn't
work at much else at the time.
When was small and on farm.
wore pants that were not new.
So far as / could find out they
never had been new.
When they had been first worn out,
by the first tailless ancestor ! had,
they had been patched at all the ven
tilated places.
When the original goods wore out
between the patches, the first patches
were connected by other patches.
And sew on.
Where they overlapped-the patch
es-the goods became about an inch
thick.
And when human legs made Of any
material less durable than vulcan
ized flint are incased in set of inch
and-a-quarter Deer Island jeans trous-
ers patched with every kind of heavy
goods from horse blankets to rem
nants of rag carpet-when l say. any

have gone long days in the wheat
field in pair of such asbestos pants

things has any terror for me.

GET OUT AND VOTE

One close observer of political conditions sees a plurality of
lo'OOO'OVO votes Tor Coolidge. The prediction is very encouraging.
but 1t can be realized only if every Republican voter, man and
woman, does his duty on election day. In 1920 the biggest vote
IN Our history was cast, but at that there were more people of
Young age who stald at home. Apathy or over confidence must
not De allowed to work for the Democrats. If everybody was tn
vote there is no doubt that the Republican ticket would be elected
OVERWHELMINGLY. Let US make the election certain with a big
surplus Oh votes rather than bring worry to future campaigns nv
a slender margin.
InoSe who complain of the election of poor candidates and
measures ana the defeat of good men and measures are reminded
tnat statistics show that but about forty per cent of the voting
populaton OF the United States actually cast their votes in general
elections. In some states and in primary elections it is more than
probable that the percentage is smaller.
In Galatm county, according to a report Of registration inst
made public by County Clerk J. H. Harris, a total of 300 narsono
are registered and are entitled to vote in both the COMING nrnoo~
election tuesday, August 26, and in the general election in Novom,

The people of Montana on August twenty-sixth, and again
on November fourth will be put to the supreme test. / have spent
nearly thirty years of my life in Montana. During that time
l have seen the political procession come and go. 1 have seen
men enter into the duties of public trust with clean intent and
finally yield to the terrific pressure of great concentrated wealth.
Of course, these great interests who for the first time in the
history Of Montana have paid, or who soon will be compelled to
pay exactly the same ratio of taxes on their wealth., as those of
us who live in Montana have had to pay during all these years,
are raising the cry Let us have peace. Dixon is a disturber."
There can be no peace in Montana until this question of
equality in the burden of government between the resident citi-
zens of Montana and our nonresident landlords is settled once and
for al. time to come. When that matter is finally settled, there will
be peace in a Montana freed from the control of its former invis-
IDLE government.
During the past four years, l have seen the governor of
Montana assaulted in controlled newspapers and at the hands of
these sycophantic servants of MOntana's invisible government,
as has no other man in recent years, and during all that time he
has stood immOvable and unafraid. 1 have reason to know that
during all this time Governor Dixon "has been pure in purpose
and strong in his strife" and that these poisoned arrows of hate
and fear have broken harmless at his feet.
Is not Governor Dixon now entitled to an overwhelming vote
OF confidence by the people whom he has so well served?
Men and women of Montana, this is your fight in a far greater
way than it is his. The defeat or victory of Governor Dixon in
the present gubernatOrial contest will largely determine Montana's
state government, for good or evil, for years and years yet to come.
