CASE IN BUTTE
While jury in PlentywcOd was
wrestling with the statute banning
Sunday dancing, another case of sim
liar import was making the lawyers
and judges search their busiest law
books in Butte where Ernest Loomis,
manager of the Winter Garden Dance
Hall, was arrested for violating the
statute against Sunday dancing pass
ed in territorial days.
LoOmis applied for a writ of habeas
corpus to Judge Jerry Lynch. A
special despatch to The Producers
News gives the account of the pro-
.ccedings as follows:
Judge J. ]. Lynch quashed the APP
plication yesterday for a writ of ha-
beas corpus made on behalf of Ernest
LoOmis, manager of the Winter Gar
den dance hall. Action was taken
against LoOmis the night of August
10 upon a charge of violating one of
MOntana'S blue laws which fOrbids
the holding of dances on Sunday
nights. The statute is an ancient
one handed down from territorial
days, being enacted in 1897, several
times amended and once in 1915.
With the denial of the application
for the writ of habeas corpus the
Loomis case remains as it was before
the petition was presented. A COM
plant is lodged against LOomis in
Justice of the Peace McNamara's
court and jury trial will probably
be held. If the client is convicted
there, T. ]. Walker, counsel for the.
dance hall manager, will appeal, it is
said. There is no appeal from the de-
cisiOn in hcbeas corpus proceed
ings.
MEANING ARGUED
In his arguments to the court, Mr..
Walker contended that the statute rs
it now stands forbids Sunday night
dancing in halls where liquor is serv-
ed. Deputy County Attorney Frank
Sullivan, who represented the state,
pointed out that the statute did not
admit of distinction but forbids dan
cling in any hall on Sunday nights ex-
cept such halls as are located in pub
lie parks. Judge Lynch held with the
state.
The statute as originally enacted
in territorial days contained no ref
eronce to liquor simply forbidding the
/ holding of dances on Sunday nights.
In 1915 Mr.. Sullivan pointed out the
law was amended to permit Sunday
night dances at halls located in public
parks. When this was done reference
! to Intoxicating liquor was made. Mr..

1t must be severe on the av-

It's tiresome to rummage the

York's business, his "blind, obedlent subservience" to MT. Hearst. whom they characterized as Super boss. |" The mayor, Governor Smith charged, was ignorant of the city's affairs, was ignorant of the meaning of the pri- mary, and was prone to berate as Q "pickpocket" everyone who dis agreed with him.
 Smith Fights Hard.
 The governor leaped fully into the campaign in a series of speeches at political rallies in all the boroughs. He openod his tour In Brooklyn, the mayors stronghold, and before 5000 persons charged Mayor Hylan with disloyalty to him personally and to the New York democracy. It was then that he accused him of being in secret conference with a representa- tive of the Ku Klux Klan while the Smith forces, Oh the floor of the na- tional convention at Madison Square Garden were combating the forces of racial and religious bigotry." Charges and counter charges poured from both sides, denials were issued right and left and the lie was passed more than once.
 Hearst Enters Fight.
 Mir. Hearst leaped into the fray by vigorous editorial support of the mayor. United States Senator Royal s. Copeland, former Governor Sulzel | and many lesser lights announced their support of the mayor, just as many well known democrats swung to the Walker ticket. Within the boroughs innumerable factiona fights developed as minor leaders decided to join the Hylan or Walker forces. The Hylan boroughs, es pecially, developed defections. Sever of the eight state senators iron Brooklyn announced their opposition to the mayors criticism of the gradt crossing bond issue. Several womer leaders declared they would no fight against the leadership of Gov ernor Smith.

solicitation. Newspaper advertising is
the cheapest known method of placing
a message in a great number of
homes.
Direct mail advertising is effective
in some things, but it is far more
expensive. Personal salesmanship is
of course extremely effective but it
is tremendously expensive.
Naturally the merchant or manu-
facturer who uses these expensive
methods of selling, must put the cost
into the price of his goods. For every
business man is conducting his af-
fairs so as to net him a substantial
profit.
All this, of course, is to say nothing
of the matter of advertising and

REAL ESTATE VALUES

COME of the most fertile land in
- the world is almost worthless,
while the sand piles south of Chica-
go are being valued at fabulous fig
ures. What is the reason?
Population. People make land val
ues. Land in the business section Of
a good city runs into the thousands
of dollars front foot, merely be-
cause it is accessible to great num-
Der of people.
Chain stores determine location by
the number Of people passing the cor
ner. For people make business, and
business makes land valuable.
A farm located one mile from a
good town is worth many dollars
more per acre than farm located
ten miles from any center of popula-
ton. Because the farmer near town
has but a short haul to market, can
send his children to the best of
schools and loses little time in max
ing a shopping trip.
There is thot in this for the peo'
| pie of Benton county. Property own
ers profit as the community grow.
and booms, and the community goe.
ahead in direct proportion to the
amount of business people keep q
home.
For this reason the editor does MOI
say that it is your duty to trade al
home. 1t is not. 1t is your own bust
ness where you spend your money.
But it is only the part of wisdom
to do everything within your power
to build up your own community
your own city, and thus your owl
property.
