URGES SETTLEMENT
OF ITALIAN DEBT

An early settlement of the Italian
debt question was urged by the BOZe-
man Chamber of Commerce this week
in kilograms sent to Senators Walsh
and Wheeler in Washington, d. c.
The Italian war debt settlement
recommended by the debt commission
is now before the senate for approval.
The Bozeman chamber does not take
a stand for any particular plan, but
icins other similar bodies in this
state in urging that some agreement
be reached and approved, to the end
that trade conditions with Italy be
stabilized. It's telegram to the Mon
tana senators follows:
"The Bozeman Chamber of Com
ynerce urges an early settlement OF
Tie Italian war debt, and to this end
asks that you use your best efforts,
Because of Italy's unstable cOndl-
ton last year, her imports were 5U
per cent less than they were in 1924.

Active Career

Nelson Story was one Of those ac-
tive, courageous, far-seeing pioneers
TO whom Montana owes a great debt,
for they not Cnly laid the foundation
Of the present splendid commonwealth,
but contributed literally and cOntinu-
Ously to its upbuilding and develop
ment. Mr.. Story was for many years
engaged in the cattle business, but
he also was closely identified with
Bozeman's business development. Not
only was he responsible for the erec-
tiOn Of several Of the business blocks
on Main street, but he was one Of
the founders of the Gallatin Valley
National bank, and served as its
/ president, and later became a heavy
stOckholder iE the Commercial Ma
tional He built a flour mill which
! later was purchased by the BOzeman
Milling company, and then transferr-
ed to the Montana Flour Mills COM
pany. He was ever a jealous work
er for BOzeman's welfare and pres
/ perity, and for scores of years was
one Of the foremost in enterprises
that made for the upbuilding Of the
city.
In civic affairs he also was active,
and at one time was a member of
the city council. He was one of the
most active members Of the Society
Of Montana Pioneers, serving twice
as its vice president, and of the Pio-
heers' Society of Gallatin County.

"His Taste Is So Common"

~S~e~~~~~~-'
That's what Gladys writes to tell
me about her man. She despairs or
ever raising him to her high level.
awful books and silly Jokes and
dreadful furniture and. worst of ALL
! slapstick comedy!
This last is the sorest point OF all.
For, you see, Gladys and Teddy are
engaged in saving every cent they
can.
They haven't much money for
amusements. and when they do step
out to a movie Gladys likes to enjoy
herself. T.
She looks forward to the regular
Saturday night show. So does Teddy.
However, It seems that even this
simple pleasure. is to, be robbed of
some of its joy.
Last Saturday night she had the
narrowing experience of sitting
through long, gruesome comedy,
complete with huge men in mustaches
and silly looking girls. and hearing
Ted simply roar with laughter.
1t was bad enough to have to watch
the dreadful performance on the
screen without having to witness
Teddy's revolving delight.
Gladys worked herself up into such
state that nothing would do but
straight talk with the low, vulgar boy
friend.
So, on the way home, she opened up
on him with a friendly little speech:
We'll. I'm really glad, in a way. to
know the sort Of thing you thoroughly
enjoy. / think we haven't under
stood each other at all well. l. had no
idea in just which direction your
tastes lay. It's rather surprising to
find that you derive pleasure from the
very lowest form of amusement, but I
dare say shall get used,to the idea"
And more to the same effect.
She expected, l believe, a very sim
cere apology from Teddy.
But she got instead a spirited reply
that took her breath away: We'll, II
the sort of amusement I crave is half
as low as the wlshy-washy senti-
mental love stuff you fall for I'll eat
my hat"
. And he went on for a good FIVE
minutes celebrating on that theme.
Now Gladys wants to know what
to do about 1t all. Can she be happy
with a man who not only Graves low
amusement, but insults her own bet
ter feelings?
Yes. she can be happy If she'll only
try hard not to be superior.
She's no Judge Of what's the cor
rect thing to like. Teddy Is perfectly
right in saying that her sensational
loving mind absorbs just as cheap
stuff as does his own. low-comedy
mentality.
We can't all enjoy the same things
and when we run up against a
strange like or dislike in our men
we mustn't mount the high horse and
preach sermons on bigger and better
things.
Before you start riding Tom. Dick
or Harry because he's fond OF baser
forms Of art be sure you haven't any
weaknesses yourself.
To every low-comic writer in the
world today there are at least six
sentimental Susies writing sickly
slush.
And II our men folk support the
former. we women certainly eat up
the sob ladies.

Wide Choice Offered i'm Scarfs

some sort of silk scarf instead. Many
women own the fur scarfs and then
wear silk scarfs most of the time.
They find them more becoming ana

is, of course. a pleasant sort OF satis-
faction to know one has one OF the
fox scarfs reposing safely at home.
With some women the item SILK
scarfs" amounts to more In the course
of the season than the item FUR
scarfs',-because there are new ana
interesting silk scarfs almost every
day and a dozen fads with silk scarfs
that one wants to follow. Just now
there are some charming fiat. crepe
scarfs, decorated with hand.painted
hgures-dancing girls. little ladies in

odd little animals. flowers and land
scapes even. The figures are some
times outlined with a tracery OF gold

arranged ascot fashion, fastened with

in Hebrews vii.1-3:

met Abraham returning from the
slaughter of the Kings and blessed
him, to whom also Abraham divided
a tenth part of all tbeing first, by
Interpretation, King Of righteousness,

having neither beginning Of days nor
end of life. but being made like unto
the Son of Cod, abideth a priest con-
tinually."
Observation-Disclosures mysterious
and magnificent personality is men
toned twice in the Old Testament
Genesis, xiv.1S; Psalms, cx.4). In the
first reference this King of Salem met
Abraham on the patriarch's return
from his victory over King Chedor-
loamer. In the second reference we
find the phrase, Thou art a priest
forever after the order of Me!chize-
dek"
Both references are blended in the
passage you quote. which adds the
strange information that this priest
King was without parents or geneal-
ogy, having neither beginning Of
days nor end Of life but was like
unto the Son of God.
He evidently is regarded by the
writer of the Hebrew Epistle as the
typical priest of the Old Testament
dispensatio who foreshadowed the
eternal priesthood Of Christ.
This writer seems to have looked
upon Melchizedek as further resem-
bling Jesus because he had no an
cestrai claims to his sacred Office and
belonged to no official caste. Yet he
had attained the highest hierarchical
rank by virtue of his holiness. lowil-
ness and undef1led dedication to God.

she should eat. Did you ever notice
that it's the roly-poly lady who dips
