american Retaliation
Against Mon0p0lists
Possible, Hoover Says

ganiZing goyerpmentally TO retalsates by
shelving upward the price of commod-
tiles II produces for world trade.
The commerce secretary estimated
that the United States is now spending
upwards Of s8O0,00OGC0 annually for
the purchase Of monopoly controlled
commodities, and declared the procedure
CT some of these pr.ce CONTROLLERS might
"uItimntely bring a crash a-ourd entire
industry
ssr. Hoover deplored the situation,
and asserted that the best interest Of
world commerce uncuest.onably called
for the greatest amount Of freedom Of
trade from price controls. The United
States, as a matter Of internal policy,
had enacted in the past and enforced
the antitrust laws to prevent its own
producers from combining to mulct con-
sumers Of American products, but now
could easily ~countenance the creation
of combinations which would do with
the prices Of cotton, copper and oil
what has been done by English, Bra
lillian, Franco German; Chilean and
other national producers Of raw ma
terials that America imports. The whole
tendency, however, presented grave in
ternational danger, and the secretary
called upon other nations to reconsider
their commercial programs. y
An easy going and tolerant world, :
he said, anxious above all things to
keep down international friction, might
let these controls in international trade
continue, Objectionable as they are, if
their conduct in every case had been
merely to. secure reasonable profit to
the producer. but some of them have
advanced prices far beyond this point,
and again demonstrate that inherent
quality Of all combinations in restraint
Of trade-that no unregulated monop-
oily is ever content with the reason
able, but always seeks to justify the
unreasonable on some grounds or an
other"

VIC. T.U. MEET
CALLED HERE
Will be Effort To Dry
sBorderland Drenched
in Booze
(By The Associated Press.)


WAXAHAcHIE, Texas, Oct. 31.-An
international temperance conference at
Brownsville in an attempt TO dry up
the Texas Mexican border was announc-
ed at the 'Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, which closed its 44th state
convention here last night. The con-
ference is to be held perhaps in De
cember, Mrs. Claude De Van Watts OF
Austin, president, announced.
"A borderland drencned in booze, =
is the way conditions were described
by Mrs. w. P. Stone of San Benito.
She told of personal visit which she
and Mrs. Watts had made to Mata-
moros across the border from Browns
They visited saloons and cafes to see
the night life at its greatest activity.
Mrs. Watts said the cafes were
crowded with American young men
and women, but that few Mexicans
were present. She declared she saw
girls of good families intoxicated, and
boys and girls in their teens indulgine
in all manner of carousal.
Mrs. stone declared there was no
prohibition on the American side Of
the border Long lines Of automobiles
vending their way toward Mexico a.
dusk, girls and boys in the American
towns freely supplied with liquor and
very loose passport system. were
among the things mentioned by Mrs
Stone. She said she had learned that
passports could be obtained at almost
any gasoline filling station.
The Brownsville conference is to in
clude officials of the World w. C.. T..
u, Texas officers of the organization
and Mexican temperance workers, Mrs.
Watts said.

Statements Are
Exaggerated-Dan

That the statements made by Mrs.
Stone are, an exaggeration was the be-
lief expressed today by County Judge
Oscar G. Dancy when told Of the state
ments made about the prohibition sit
uation in the Valley.
Judge Ijarcy voiced the opinion that
Sheriff Sam Robertson and his officers
and other peace. officers along the bor-
der hgve done and are doing all that
il possible to enforce prohibition.
As to young people and others drink
ing in Matamoros, he expressed the
opinion that. this is practice confined
to few in the Valley, and also said
that it is one not confined to the Val
ley, but found in other parts of the
country.

STATE COLLEGE WILL
AID STATE DAIRYMEN

Montana creameries manufactur
ed 14,2O0,O0 O pounds of butter il
1924, and approximately half thii
was marketed outside of the state
according to J. A. Nelson, in charge
of the dairy manufacture department
at Montana State College. With the
prospects of a continued gain this
year, there has been an increase OF
at least 100 per cent in butter pro
duction in the state since 1922 when
7,800,O 600 pounds were produced.
These figures, according to Mr..
Nelson, indicate the rapid growth of
dairying in Montana, and point to
the care that must be taken to in
sure the continuation of that growth.
With an ever increasing amount of
Montana butter going on to the ma
TONS markets, Montana milk and
butter producers are faced with the
need of increasing the quality of
their dairy products and of main
tanning that quality. Montana dairy
products must meet the keen com
petition of the leading dairy EN-
ters of the nation and if dairying is
to be profitable here and is to de-
velop as it should this competition
must be met by quality. ga sound
dairy business in Montana cannot
be built on mediocre quality" says
Mr.. Nelson.
Montana State College and it's
branches are making a special effort
to insure that dairy development in
Montana shall continue by placing
special stress on quality production.
During the past summer Mr.. Mel
visited and held meetings with
the creamery men in all important
dairy centers of the state as a part
of the equality" campaign. Exten-
sion specialists and agents are stress
ing the same point in all of their
dairy work.
During the coming winter the Col
lege will devote special attention to
the production Of high quality cream
cry products at it's annual winter
short course, which starts January
4th and continues for IL weeks. A
course in dairy manufacture is of
fered short course students. AS flu
ture operators and managers of
dairy establishments in the state
these young men will play a vital
part in developing Montana's dairy
industry on a quality basis.
Information on the winter short
course can be obtained from j. L.
Tretsven, Montana State College,
.ozeman.

writer Of a business letter should indf-
cate his position, or his title. The fact
that he Is the secretary of the church,
or president of the bank, or treasurer
of the corporation, or an officer of rank
and authority, will often affect the i'm
portance Of what he says in his letter,
and he should Indicate this position be-
low his signature to the letter.
Whatever the situation, a business
letter should always be courteous in
tone. Your correspondent may be in
solent, or abusive, or unreasonable in
his demands, or impatient in his sug-
gestions, but the force and effect of
your reply will be increased if you
maintain an even, quiet tone in your
reply. If you keep to the point under
discussion with brevity, dignity, and
courtesy, refusing to notice any in
nuendoes, or insults, you will show
your %self-control, and win your point
more easily.
One of the most difficult situations to
meet in a business letter is the cor
rection of an error. An. order is mis-
laid, there is confusion in names, an
envelope Is misdirected, or there is a
misunderstanding of what was desired,
and a mistake is made. inexperienced
men, often. at one assume that this
error was intentional, that some one is
trying to cheat them, n they sit
down in the heat of the m and
write an angry protest.
Only recently, I wrote a boys father
with reference to his sons work, but
it proved to be the wrong father.
There were two G. F. Johnson's in the
class, and, as i'll luck would have
it, l had tile right boy but the wrong

Most business men are willing, and

Other Details in Business
Letters

IF THERE are letters which do no
4 require an answer, or which may
be ignored entirely, these are not bust
ness letters. Some letters we may
acknowledge or not, as we please, OF
as our time permits; others we may
delay answering for days, or ever
months, without subjecting ourselves
to criticism, but the business letter
should have an immediate reply.
One should have a place to keep
unanswered letters, even if his bust
ness does not involve an extensive cor
respondence-a basket, or q drawer. or
a portfolio Of some sort, so that the
possibility of forgetting, or misIaying
an unanswered letter is reduced to the
minimum.
Even If one does not have a stenog-
rapher, and must type or write his own
letters by hand, he should set aside a
certain time of the day, or the week
for doing this, and stick to his SEIZED
ule religiously. Such a practice con-
serves time, and nervous energy. Most
Of us spend as much energy in worrying
over what we have to do as in doing
1t. There is no more excuse for not
answering letters promptly, than there
Is for not brushing ones teeth, or pay
ing ones taxes promptly. The busiest
men answer their letters most prompt
ly, because experience has taught them
that if they delay, the unanswered cor
respondence will pile up, and swamp
them. Whenever a man alleges that
he was too busy to answer his letters,
you may set it down as pretty conclu-
sive, that he is either careless, or pro-
cr%astinating.
Most business men who have a large
correspondence do not fold or seal
their own letters, but leave that task
for a clerk TO do, after the letters are
