Suicides on Court House Lawn.-G.
II. Harksworth, aged 62, of Ely, Mimi,
fearful of becoming a burden upon
friends, drank lysol and died on the
court house lawn at Billings. He was
discovered upon the lawn in a dying
condition by passersby and rushed to a
hospital without avail. A note to the
Billings X. of p. requested that his

quest was granted. Little or nothing
was learned of the mans antecedents.
Veterinarians on the Alert.-A close
watch is being kept all over the state
by state veterinarians as the result
of the outbreak of the foot and mouth
disease in California. The disease has
never become prevalent in Montana
and will not if the stock doctors can
help it. In 1916 a train load of eastern
cattle were stopped at Miles City, it
is recalled by stockmen, and state vet
erinarians killed more than 800 head
of the stock. That is the only time the
disease occurred to any extent in Mon
tana.

Butte manual training teacher desired
TO give his pupils a little extra in

lamps and 'gassed" the teacher and
pupils out of the class room. Next
week the pupils 'lifted' and hid the
and the alteration was brought
to the attention of the school board.
The board ruled that the teacher could
use the class room.
Boards Lion in Den.-Fred GOudy,
IF the Dearborn country, caught a
mountain lion in a small game trap,
recently. The lion, measuring over
eight feet in length, tore loose and
made its den dragging the trap. GOudy
followed, and after trying every way
ynown to him to drive the animal out,
finally entered the den and shot it in
he head as it crouched to spring at
lin.

Winter Without Feed

Clark Anderson, a well-known ranch
er of the lower Beaverhead valley,
near Dillon, stated recently that he
had kept 300 head of steers at his
ranch this winter without feeding a
pound of hay. This is regarded as an
exceptional case in this section, as
feeding usually commences with the
first heavy fall of snow and continues
until the new grass appears.

Ford subject to provisions of the fed

EDUCATION GONE CRAZY

Some spiteful person. whose
knowledge OF English and grammar
is probably her only asset. has es-
sayed to criticise the Monte Vista
Journal in An anonymous communi-
cation.
Such emanations simply serve to
chow the accuracy Of the moss-eaten
statement that intensive scholastic
training sometimes miscarries and
produces an educated fool. who
thinks 1t smart to assume a hyper
critical attitude toward everybody
and everything.

AUTO CAN BE BOUGHT
BY BUDGET, REVISION
Car Purchase Possible if Lesser
Pleasures Are Given Up, Man
ufacturer Says.

Yes. an automobile was a fine thing,
but Brown simply could not afford
one That was the verdict expressed
to friend Jones after giving the lat
ter's brand-ne Blank six the.-,once
over
Browns verdict was correct, al
though peculiarly his income was
twice that of Jones. At the same
time Jones was not paying cent
more for the Blank six than he could
well afford.
Here's the difference: Jones' gen.
era1 styl. of living was nicely ad-
justed. to his income, ard his appro-
priation for living included an au-
tomobic in the Blank six price class
Brown commanded an income of
$500 a year: but Brown was trying
to live on a O,000-a-year basis He
had. in fact, always tried to live sew
eral degrees beyond his salary, with
the result that in spite of steady in
crcases he was always falling behind.
He had never yet succeeded in ac-
a first payment on an automobile.
To be sure. it would not have re-
quired any great sacrifice in Browns
mode of living to have owned a good
automobile. The way in which mo-
tor cars are purchased today makes
it possible to squeeze some kind of
car out of almost any income. IT
is largely a question of whether or
not one is willing to sacrifice some
other forms of recreation which cost
fully AS much and offer much less in
healthful relaxation to mind and
body.
Friend Brown could save several
hundred dollars a year toward An
automobile without sacrifice to re-
spectability by renting in a less cx-
elusive neighborhood. by cutting out
one or two club memberships. stag
ing n few less poker parties and nu-
merous other things which form a
part Of his regular routine. The pos
session OF an automobile would cut

down the taxi bills, which total in
a years time at least half the price
Of good car. All that Is necessary
Tor Brown to own an automobile is
rearrangement of the family budget.
The one big thing to be remem-
bered Is that we cannot have every
thing. But who would not be will
ing to sacrifice a few so-called lux
urtes of life for the real luxuries of
the great outdoors to which the auto
mobile gives access. The automobile
means better health, greater happi-
ness, longer youth.

MORE MONEY EXISTS
TO BUY AUTOMOBILES
Hump Motor Car President Holds
That Average Family Can More
Easily Afferd It Now.

The average wealth of every per-
son in the United States on Decem-
ber 81, 1922. was s2.91S. according to
thte Department of Commerce, which
has Just announced results of its
latest decennial survey.
To Charles u. Hastings, president
and general manager of the Hupp
Motor Car Corporation. this informa-
ton concretcly illustrates why there
are so many automobiles, and why
the economic saturation point for
motor ears on the North American
continent may never be reached.
Assuming that the average family
contains four pcrsous. its average
wealth is more than 81 900. showing
that it can well afford to own a
motor car" says Mr.. Hastings. Per
capita wealth increased i9.6 per cent
in the ten years since the December
81, 1912. survey was made, when it
was $3.50. The difference-nearly
$4,000 for a family of four-is more
than sufficient to enable the head of
household to purchase and main
tain A motor car at all times
while the department pointed out
that huge increase in per capita
wealth is due principally to the rise
in prices in recent years, and not en-
tirely to a. corresponding increase in
the quantity of wealth. as economists
figure it, there is no question that the
average American family can afford
to maintain a higher living standard
than ten years ago.
This is shown in the heavy buying
of motor cars, in the greater proper
tion of more pretentious and COM
Portable homes being erected the
country over, in the greater travel in
Pullman cars, in tremendously in
creased. road building, in the general
ly better standard of living and in
every line of business.
In per capita wealth. the United
States is probably by far the richest
of any country of large population.
The American nation is also the rich
est in the world, although three
countries have larger populations,
India and China much larger.
