cItss Advantages Montana offers In

Been Completed

ing information relative to the re
sources and opportunities Of the state
published by the department Of agri.

publicity OF the state, Is now off the
press and ready FOR distribution. II

A.. H. Bowman, commissioner, and
Barclay Cralghead OF the publicity d.
vision, were In charge Of the editing
Of the volume. and their efforts have
resulted in the collection Of invaluable
and interesting data.
Prefaclng the book Is an appeal by
Gov. John +. Erickson for new settlers.
II follows:
Montana Is today calling for men
high-hearted men Of intelligence and
industry In search Of opportunity. We
have no place FOR the De,er-do-well, the
land hog or the Spectator.
Montana needs the settler and the
homebuilder. We have passed through
the pioneer period Of exploration. The
last few years have been years Of ex-
perlmentatlOn. We now know what
we can do. The history OF the Older
states is here being repeated.
''Montana's crops In 1925 were har-
vested from 100000 acres. Failures
were reported from less than 5 per
cent Of our acreage. We have 6.000,-
900 acres OF land In this state that can,
with reasonable expenditures, be irri-
gated.
1--WE have five times 100000 acres
of farming lands. Last year each acre
of land under the pillow produced an |
average of 500. With 900O0,OOO acres

production our crops nlone would bring
o this state not less than S6OOOOOOOO.
'iBut we are lenrning how to farm.
Ne are learning how to make farming
more profitable. and with the Increase

ulfuraI resources will mean great
and industrial centers In
iontana. II Will mean increased pay

Industries. In short, It Will mean a

The old adage that one good one
makes up for several bad ones still
holds true. It was proved to my sat
lsfactiOn by an incident that occurred
during my stay at St. Vincent's hos

cial nurse, many telephone calls and
other incldentals, went away leaving
a bad check in payment, but not long
afteFward was apprehended and held
for judgment On the same day that
this cheat was arrested neatly but

called at the hospital and asked to
see the sister In charge.

he said.

Ing department he was informed that
he owed nothing as he had been in a
free bed.

the bill have been II It hadn't been
freef"
A statement for $40 was given
him and he paid It out Of a roll Of
bills amounting to 1922 he then gave
ten ont OF the remaining twelve dol
lars to the sister ''for smokes for the
fellows" he said. adding that 81 was
enough to get him back to the ship
where he was employed as stoker.
