Refuses Request

Mr. Beaman also asked the COVER
nor to issue a proclamation calling
attention to the Gallatin county fair
and its significance, but the governor
declineed to do this on the ground that
he would be called upon to issue SINH
lar proclamations for other fairs in
the state.
However, the governor Of Montana
will be a welcome guest at the Gal
latin County fair if he attends, and
the people Of this county will do their
best to show him honor.

hook this morning, "and although
they have made a canvass of practi-
cally every home in the city many
people have been away ard thus it
was impossible to-see them.
Some People Absent.
"We are convinced that many who
have been on vacations will be anx-
ious to do their share toward helping
the children of our neighboring
towns in securing school facilities this
fall and will be glad to make contri-
buttons to the fund being raised for
that purpose.
"But we cannot ask our solicitors
to again cover the ground in order to
see these peoRls personally, SO we
ask them to call either upon Mr.
Parkin or myself or mail checks tc
US"
Newspapers Helped,
Mr.. VandenhoOlz was especially
pleased with the newspaper publicity
and assistance given to the campaign

ward this work"
The speaker also touched upon the
necessity for patriotism, for whole
hearted belief in and support Of the
things which the word, American
ism" typifies, and fer the preserva-
tion of American ideas and ideals. H

the teachings of those who would de.
stroy our government and the privi
leges which it guarantees to every
citizen.
Principles Of Trade
He explained briefly the great prin
ciples upon which our nation trade:
with its neighbors. 1--WE sell then
the things which we have more 0.
than we need and we buy the things
which they produce in greater quan
tity than they can use, just as th'
farmer sells his surplus wheat in or
/ der that he may buy clothing an
other things which ne cannot raise ol
his farm" he said.
Mr.. Parkin's address was couchel
, in simple, forceful language, whiel
his youthful hearers could understand
and it was much enjoyed by the olde
folks as well.

among the entrants, many of them
trying their luck at the wild black

quick work was done in roping and

good shape. This is a sport which
takes both skill and strength and is
attended with considerable danger to
the 'dOgger.

wild horse race called forth much ap-
plause from the crowds and the In

EXTRA LoUDSPEAKERS
Extensions Can Be Made Without
Cutting Strength.

Radio fans often hesitate about
running wire from their receiving
set to a loudspeaker in another part
of house, because they fear that
the extra resistance of the wire cuts
down the strength of the signals.
Actually, however, there is already
so much resistance in the loud
speaker circuit that even several
hundred ohms OF added resistance
win have little effect on reproduc-
ton.
