SEEKING MONTANA MEN
Montana Farmer)

NNACASNAAA N@NAO
DR.. C. N. Arnett, vice-dean of agriculture and
head of the livestock department of Montana
State College, has been offered the position of
chief of the stockyards' and packers act admins
tration at Washington, D. c., one of the most i'm
portant jobs in the United States department of
It is known that Secretary Jardine
has been giving much thought to this appoint
ment because the former chief of this department
was under severe fire from agricultural quarters
during the last few months of his administration
and it is at once a compliment to DR.. Arnett and
a tribute to our State college that the Montana
man was offered the place. DR.. Arnett has not
yet made his decision as to accepting the offer
and we hope he will decide to turn it Town and
stay in Montana because we need him here. He
has made a splendid record with the state institu-
ton, a record that has brought him a number of
offers from other states.
Unless we can make it financially attractive for
men of outstanding ability to stay with our Mon
tana college, we are bound to lose our best workers
to other institutions. Montana has lost several
outstanding men in this way in recent years and
will lose others in the near future if we do not
maintain our salary scale on a par with other
institutions.
rOC 50 very lOnS ago dAeduluS hnoHCdud SCOck-
grower made the statement that if the State col
lege had done nothing except develop sunflower
silage it would have been worth every dollar the
state ever put into it. The same statement could
be made with reference to the colleges work in
developing Montana corn, in improving livestock
in pure seed work, and in other lines. And still
the state legislature deems it economy to cut
down the appropriations for this agricultural ex
tension and experimentation work.
The way to build up an efficient and service
able agricultural department at the State college
is to make it known that the men who make COCO
will be paid salaries that compare favorabIy will
those given men in similar positions in other lines
and at other institutions.

TWO KINDS OF DIFFERENCES
National Republic)

In discussing the present situation of the Demo-
cratic party, Franklin D. Roosevelt, one of the
illustrious leaders of the party attributes the
public belief in the disorganization of the Demo-
cracy to Republican propaganda, including a vast
majority of the big newspapers of the country
which he says are painting '1urid pictures of
Democratic discOrd."
CAS- a matter of fact" MIR. Roosevelt states,
most of this so-called discOrd relates to local or
personal matters as distinguished from national
principles. The Republican party has within. its
rank and file far more true discord, in that they
differ among themselves on matters of basic prin-
ciples."
1t may be that the Democratic discord is not
so great as reported and it is doubtless true that
Democracy viii get together in time to put UP a
good fight in 1926 and 1928. This is as it should
be, for two active, well organized parties are nee.
essary to the welfare and progress of the country
BUTT is not generally true that differences o.
opinion on principles are more disastrous thar
personal differences. AS a matter Of fact Their,
is always more or less party differences in tn,
application of basic principles, in both major or
CARNATIONS, and unless there is a grave nationa
crisis and a situation which acutely affects tn,
fortunes of the voters in general, these difference
rarely are serious. More often personal feud
and personal factionalism are fatal to party sue
cess. This has been the case both with Repuh
licans and Democrats in the past and doubles
win be in the future.

AMERICAN FOREST WEEK
american Forest week is on.

American Forest week is on.
This week has been set aside by the president
of the United States and governors of the var
ious states for the purpose of calling to the at
tention of the citizens of this country the i'm
rortonce of preserving the national, as well as
tnc pI4tateiy-owned forests, thus conserving the
timber supply, aiding in the propagation and pro-
lection of what wild game is left and aiding in the
retention in their natural state of our great public
Fairgrounds.
This subject is of particular interest to the
p>-r' of Montana and of the other northwestern
states.
Our forests are among our most important
assets.
They furnish us with timber, with fuel, with
grazing grounds for our stOckmen, but these
features important as they are, fall into COM
~parative insignificance when compared with the
fact that the standing timber is a vital factor in
connection with the conservation of moisture,
forming a vast reservoir which stores up the
winters SHOWS and the spring rains and from
this surplus our streams are fed throughout the
summer months.
In another column is published a set of rules
promulgated by the secretary of agriculture for
the purpose of protecting the forests against care
less campers.
These rules should be scrupulOusly observed,
not through fear of punishment, but in a spirit of
cooperation with their purpose and the object
sought to be attained through them.

domestic stock. In addition, 1O,813,-
800 acres are classed as unsuited to
the grazing Of domestic stock because
of heavy timber or extreme rugged
ness, but practically all Of it is suited
to some forms Of game and wild-life
uses. Therefore, Sc per cent of the
total net area Of the forests, or 12,-
454,257 acres, are in raiity used only
by wild-life. species. Many game ami
mails, also use to some extent portions
of the remaining area, which is grazed
by domestic stock. In fact, it is esti-
mated that the total area of summer
game range is approximately 16,000,-
600 acres, while the total area Of
winter game range is approximately
100000 acres.
The national forests, therefore, form
a factor of very great Importance in
the production and preservation Of
game and the various wild-life species
Of the region: Came, in fact, may be
regarded as one of the forest re-
sources, requiring wise management
the same Is other resources. It must
be developed in harmony with the
utilization of ranges for domestic
stock, and, Ike timber, it is affected
by forest fires or any other agency
which destroys the forests.

HOLDING IN
By THOMAS ARKLE A
Dean of Men, University Of
Illinois.

ISAIAH TITUS was one Of the most
i~rascible, explosive children I knew
when 1 was a boy. The least oppOst-
ton or contradiction or teasing would
ordinarily set him of into a frenzy of
angry words, which left him beside
himself. Occasionally. however, he
would exhibit the most phenomenal
and surprising self-cOntrOl, at which
times we were won to remark that
Isaiah was %'holding in."
This hOldlng-in process is not I'm
common even In adult and everyday
life, and by no means unnecessary.
The cOnventiOnalities Of society require
that we lead a life Of constant re-
preston and self-restraint. We would
not be able to do business if we gave
regular expression TO the things we
actually think and feel. We cannO
safely tell every stupid man that he
is a bOnehead. We smile and utter
pleasant drivel when we should like to
shout a%nathemas or call people names.
We endure bOreS and DULLES and
speak complimentary sentences. and
keep quiet when we are bursting for
expression. Just because 1t is diplO-
matte to do so. : 1t Is stronger and
wiser and safer.

time. l have argued that while II
might relieve the strain on my feelings

terfuges. it would do no good to
Smith. and It would stir up dlscOrd
generally. so ] listened quietly to his
chatter.
Did you ever think what fun Il
would be, If only for a brief time. Il
