THIS is A WEEK

Tomorrow is Paint day-the day when BOze-
man citizens are asked by the mayor and urged
by the chamber of commerce to apply paint upon
fences, lattices and buildings, to brighten them
up and at the same time preserve them from the
Pavages of the elements.
Friday is Back Yard day, when alleys and back
yards should be cleaned of rubbish, fences re-
paired and other work done about the yard.
Saturday, the last day of Cleanup week, is
set aside for the cleaning up of all vacant lots in
the city, that they may be converted from weed
grown and tin can-strewn eyesores to flower
gardens or Fairgrounds which will add to the
city's beauty and attractiveness.
Business men are also urged to see to it that
the present unsightliness of windows in vacant
upstairs rooms on Main street be remedied in some
manner. Nothing will do more toward making
our city more attractive to tourists and possible
investors in local farm or business enterprises
than this.
Cleaning up his premises is a duty every citi
zen owes both to himself and to his community
The proclamation of Mayor Burke is meetini
with a hearty response from most of the peopl
of the city, but all should heed the call befor
the week is over.

BUYING AT HOME
Billings Gazette)

ADAullSS GdACtDSy
Most Americans are convinced of the fact that
it is better to buy American goods than those
made in foreign countries, where American made
products can be obtained, and it is well to re-
member that it is equally as sound business sense
to buy in ones home city, rather than in some
nearby metropolis, when the goods can be had at
home.
For just as we want to make and keep America
the most prosperous nation in the world, so we
should desire to keep our home community pros
porous and progressive.
1t is the home business and professional and
working man who helps to keep the community
going. He pays his share of local taxes which go
to keep up schools and hospitals and to make
public improvements, and every dollar spent at
nome increases business and consequently the
public as well as the commercial revenue Of the
city.
No one ever saw a clean, progressive, happy
community which did not have active, prosperous
and healthy business institutions. It is the town
with the best busines which has the best schools
the best hospitals and the most modern improve
ments.

Former Governor Frank o. Lowden of Illinois,
now a farmer, handles the agricultural situation
without. gloves in an interview secured by Auto
caster service and published in The Courier this
week.
MI. Lowden declares that, either through ignOr-
ance or design, the big newspapers of the country
and the magazines as well have been misrepresent-
ing farm conditions as they really exist in that
they have been basing prosperity stories upon
false premises and stating that the farm crisis
is over.
Farm bankruptcy has increased 600 percent
and there is no relief in sight" he says.
The only true remedy for the farmers Ills is
the farmers cooperative marketing association
which shall be able to control the production OF
farm products and regulate their flow into the
market, Mr.. Lowden says.
Mr.. Lowden's remarks are not directed at thu
situation which exists in the northwest, which
has been more acute than that of other sections
of the country, due to local as well as genera
conditions. But they apply to this section jus
as forcefuIly. as they do to any other part of tn
country.
Cooperative marketing and intelligent diver
s~ification will place agriculture upon as solid
footing as any other industry enjoys. Accordin
to Mr.. Lowden, this is the only solution.
And most people will agree with him.

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES
(Red Lodge Picket-JournaIl

Nhcu AOuSS ICh0I-JOuAAoV
Montana automobiles to the number of more
than sixty thousand had been registered up to
the first of the week and of that number more
than four thousand were new cars, purchased
since the first of the year, according to reports
from the state capitol.
During the month of April twenty-one hundred
new cars were licensed in Montana. Figures for
Red Lodge and Carbon county are not available
but it is a significant fact that very many cars
are making their appearance here. The state
figures are far ahead of registrations at this time
during any previous year and are within nine
thousand of last years record-breaking totals.
If these Montana cars average a thousand dol
lars each in original cost the total investment re-
presented is sixty millions of dollars. Surely the
calamity howlers must recognize that a state
whose citizens can own sixty million-dollars worth
of automobiles is far from the broken ruin which
they seem to think Montana is.

Legion to Entertain
At Special Supper

Next Monday night the American
Legion intends to entertain it's men,
bers royalty and hand out one of DR..
Turcotte's special suppers. Archie
Strout promises to have a real enter
tainment and a regular time Is as
sured.
The Legion feels that with the roads
rapidly becoming passable that it Is
somewhat of a hardship to sit in a
stuffy hall and listen to the details or
administration. 1t has been decided
to loosen up this Easter Monday and
have short meeting followed by a
program with a punch.
Interest at present seems to run
high as to the real function of the Lee
gion in the community. No less than
dozen influential citizens have con-
graduated the officers and active mem
bers on their initiative in starting q
real desire for Legion home. While
the Legion is young and full of vigor
it will not be hard to put over drive.
All ex-seryice men are requested to
think this over and decide for them
selves If Waterville wants a real serv-
ice mems home and a go-getting or
ganization in 1t. The Legion officials
themselves believe this can be put
over by a concerted effort Of the serv-
ice men.
Later in the year a general meeting
will be held at which all service men
will be requested to attend and at that
time any individual having his own
ideas as to how to finance or build a
homo will be given an opportunity to
voice his opinion.
