let me make the reminder that Mon
tana has led the world in prizes wor
for high quality small grains pro
duced in that same five years. In
these five years experiments have
proven the adaptability of our LAND
to many forms of epecialization-the
very soil over which l scattered grass
hopper poison is now producing the
famous Rosebud melons, and it is
producing beans, cucumbers and 9TH
er special crops that find a ready
market.
"In these five years the beet indus
try has branched u until it is a
main source of revenue to several
important towns and cities. In that
time a new railroad has been pro-
jected and almost completed to open
up a new and huge coal field.
"It is within the past five years
of bad conditions that Montana has
developed in a small town what is
known as the largest primary wheat
market in the world today.
1t is within this span of five years
that Montana has attained high rank
educationally, leading the nation in
her rural school system and voting
funds to build up a University of
Montana second to no university in
the country in service to the COM
monwealth.
Zone might go on indefinitely.
There are untold resources in Mon
tana. The sapphires of the Judith,
the big cement industries, the ar
senic as a by-product from copper,
u gold, silver and lead mines. In
the next years more intelligent farm
ing will continue to increase yields,
lower costs and improve markets;
more streams will be h~arnessed, more
sources of wealth unfolded. Nothing
will ever be lost if we keep an en-
during faith in Montana.
Montana rewards the fighter-the
man who sticks. The state still is
eager to give bounteously to those
who will prove their faith. Montana
is a tester of endurance, and only an
enduring faith will win. A real Mon
tanan is not a man without difficult
ties-he is a master of difficulties.
When one hears the wall of despair
from many quarters he is tempted to
believe that there are many unworthy
sons of worthy sires. The pioneer
found this land no paradise, but a
land that had to be fought for.
Recently l went into the office of
an insurance company and found on
its walls a sign reading Nothing was
ever lost by an enduring faith in
Montana 1t seemed like an idle
boast until I caught the meaning of
his word enduring 1t was a true
sign. Let's show this enduring faith

Because of Enduring Faith in Mon
tana; Optimistic Review of States
Resources.

Down in Bozeman they have a
preacher who is preaching a new
sort Of faith.
This preacher, the Rev. H. G.
K1emme of the Presbyterian
church, is urging an enduring
faith in Montana as the KEYNOTE
OF a campaign of the Bozeman XII
al club. The Bozeman Kiwan-
ians, following enthusiastically the
lead set by Mr.. K1emme, have OBJ
tanned cooperation of the fourteen
Kiwanis clubs in Montana for the
spreading of enduring faith in
Montana" a campaign that intends
to present to Montanans the many
reasons why they should hold
faith in the state through what
many have found a bitter economic
period.
Before Kiwanis clubs and other or
CARNATIONS over the state the Rev.
Mr.. Klemme has talked about his idea
of a favorable publicity plan for this
state.
When we turn to a study of Mon
tana to find out where she stands to-
day, there to us an immediate
impression of stability" said the Rev.
Mr.. Klemme to his own Kiwanis
brothers in Bozeman when present
ing his plan. "Of course the last
few years have seemed bad; heart
breaking to some of us. But what
have we lost? Our rivers still tum-
BILE down the hills with their vast re-
sources of power; our earth still is
full of metallic miracles; mines are
as they did before; Jul
forests are vast as ever; our scenery
has not deteriorated a bit; our roads
are far better than they were five
years ago; railroads still are operat-
ing; coal mines r increasing; oil

a fierce campaign. His democratic
opponent, whose name, for obvious
reasons, may well be omitted, had
conducted a particularly fiery, and
as Sanders friends considered, an I'M
fair attack upon him. The demo-
crat won, and election night his par
tisans gave him a great public recep-
ton in the Helena auditorium.
Notes of victory filled the hall and
one l~oud-lunged orator had just fin
ished a stirring peroration when Col.
Sanders, on his way down town,
dropped in to see the fireworks.
Standing In the shadow, well back,
he felt securely incognito and listen
ed to the cheers for the victor and
the jeers for himself with that fine
hauteur which was his.
Suddenly someone shouted "There
is Sanders himself" and before he
could make a dignified exit he was
surrounded by a noisy bunch of de-
monstrative democrats.
Speech" shouted one, and in an
instant the entire assembly took up
the cry. To their surprise, the gaunt
majestic figure of the colonel was
seen striding to the platform.
A hush fell upon the roysterers as
the chairman raised his hand and
presented, "The loser, Colonel San

was having a good time generally.
Finally he laid his roll on the end OF
the table and said to the dealer.
There's $4,000 there. III make
some marker bets and you can take
1t out as you feel like it..
This was the kind OF a customer
the joint was looking for. He played
case cards for various amounts at a
hundred a throw, and up. 1t looked
like a good night for Wallen to be
taken.
Directly a very flashy man came in
and asked for markers. He coppered
the jack, saying nonchalantly, two

be outdone, Sam put a coppered
marker on the same card and said
Give grand" The bet of the flashy
was really a come on to the
monied westerner.
When the jack lost the dealer
counted out two thousand dollars to
the pretentious person and five
thousand to Sam.

said Sam. what does grand mean?"
They all smiled, thinking Sam was
pretending to be a boob. why, grand

weather and other things and pro-

1lers.

No Coloring in Butter.

All the casks of butter were
stamped. This stamp is granted
by the government to diaries
which meet certain tests, that
are applied several times a year
to each dairy. Failure to comply
with the requirements means
cancellation of the government
certificates which eliminates the
butter for export and practically
excludes it from the domestic
market.

passed to an adjoining egg coop
erative which is used by many of
the Danish local societies for the
exporting of their eggs. Here
were women testing eggs for
their purity by electric light, and
girls counting, packing and pre-
pairing them for shipment, the
money for which generally finds
its way into the pocketbook of
the farmers wife.
Denmark exported this last
year 100000 eggs. About
fifty per cent of them were
handled through cooperative as
sociations and almost ninety-five
per cent went to England.

A little reflection, backed by
common sense, will show that the
punishment of offenders, instead
of constant and indiscriminate
revilement is more desirable and
will have an impression upon the
country. The need of the present
hour may be briefly summarized
in the words of Ruskin: I'VE
want downright facts at present
more than anything else"
Consideration, of the evidence
adduced before the Senate Public
Lands committee investigating
the oil leases show that a great
proportion of it is circumstantial.
The discovery that President
Coolidge had sent a telegram to
Edward B. Mclean. proprietor of
the Washington Post. provided a
two-days' sensation. The Chief
Executive has made personal ex-
PLANTATION that the telegram re-
ferred to the chairman of the
G. o. p. for the District Of Co
lumbia. What promised to be a
real thriller turned into a fluke,
as the message, according to Mr..
Coolidge, related to local politics
and a subject far remote from oil
problems. In Republican circles

Washington, March 12.-There
is increasing evidence that the
citizens would be more content
with public affairs if the political
muddle was cleared by more at
tention to jurisprudence and less
bombastic prattling. Communi-
cations received from repre-
sentative sections Of the country
indicate that the public Is grow
ing 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 submerged
to such an extent that thoughtful
men are beginning to regard the
whole.affair as a political frolic
Nobody doubts that a serious
situation exists and that the pub
lie is entitled to q true explana-
ton of certain transactions.
1t would be infinitely better il
the various investigators would
take time to make a distinction
between appearances and truth.

each about forty acres.

SLIGHT DAMAGE AT
d. b. S. HALL FIRE
Fire Tuesday Night About
1880 is Quickly
Extinguished.

Once more the little Askov
fire department played strong
part in averting a big blaze.
Tuesday night at 1880 Lawrence
DeYoung incidentally looked
toward the ID. b. S. hall and no.
ticed that sparks were dropping
into the basement. Him and his
brother. "A. M. DeYoung, are d.
rectly responsible for saving the
big hall. After turning in tcle-
phone fire alarm they each ran
into the hall with a bucket Of
water and had made FIVE or six
such trips before the hose and
bucket brigade got into full
swing. The constant ringing Of
the fire bell and the continuous
efforts of the telephone operator
had a large force Of fire fighters
on hand in a few minutes. In
exactly five minutes the hose was
run out its full length, reaching
as far as the school house corner
and at this point the bucket bril-
gade was supplied. The fire was
under control in a few minutes
and in less than half an hour at
ter the sounding Of the bell it
was entirely out.
A hole about three feet wide
and four feet long was burned
through the hardwood floor and
a space about four feet wide on
the south wall from the floor to
the ceiling was burned nearly
through the siding and quite a
large hole was made in the cell
ing. Some of the plastering is
spoiled from the heat and water
and several windows were brok-
en-. The damage has been esti-
mated by local men at $500 and
is covered by insurance.
The origin of the fire is un-
doubtedly from the careless

ket ball game. curtain reaching

The janitor closed the building

and all entertainments will take
place as scheduled there.
