Interpretation has been the keynote Of social functions in
BOzeman, during the week just brought to its close. With the
GaIatn County high school pupils repeating their musical comedy
with the senior class of Holy Rosary high school staging its
play, "Mr. Bob" and with the Presbyterian ladies doing fine work
in Characterization, on Wednesday afternoon, there has been
abundant call for appreciation by the home audience. This, with
the graduation of ten young women from the Training School
for Nurses of the DeacOness hospital and the sessions Of at least
six Church Aid societies during the week, make the period rich
with the broad understanding of the aims and needs of fellow
human beings, which is symbOized by:
THE HAZE
By Mabel Kinney Hall
Could ever vision dream a fairer thing
Than this, the dim, blue haze, enveIoping
The sentent vivid earth, awakening?
Could ever softer veil imagined be
Than this Elusive filmy drapery
Of purplng mist, lowclnging dantly?
Could ever mortaIs find a type more true
Of charity, that wells while showing through
The fine bold lines of good intent to do?
Could ever gentler touch imagined be
Than that Of compromising sympathy,
Revealing beauty in rough ~crudity?

port. Each housewife Is to keep de-
tailed account of every hour spent on
housework and she will give her esti-
mate of the relative value of various
phases of her activity.

20 Per Cent Of State
Farms Growing Wheat

Out of a total of 66,288 farms in the
State of Washington, 20 per cent are
used in wheat growing, according to
compilation made recently by E. G..
Schaefer, head of the farm crops de-
partment at the State College of
Washington. The state, he says, with
a total yearly production of 41,000,000
bushels of wheat, ranks eighth among
the wheat-producing states.
Whitman County, located in the
great wheat-producing Palouse coun-
try, alone produced over 100000
bushels of wheat, which is more than
was produced by any other one coun-
ty in the United States during 1925.
Washington also ranks first in acre
yields of oats, with an average Of ASP
bushels per acre. The section of the
most concentrated oat production is
in the western part of Skagit County,
which grows two-thirds of the oat
crop of Washington with an average
of 91.S bushels per acre and thus
holds the record for the highest acre
yield for any county of the United
States.
While Washington was one of the
later states admitted to the Union, be-
coming a state in 1889, it is one of
the leading states in crop returns for
land under cultivation.

The police of the country are
seeking to unearth a great research
bureau operated for the benefit of
bandits, second-story men and all
the more important types of GRIM
inals, according to rumors emanat-
ing from the Police Departments Of
several eastern cities. The unerring
accuracy with which criminals have
staged recent hold-ups to obtain
some product of which there was a
temporary shortage has led to a be-
lief in a such a department among
police officials.
The latest and most unusual haul
of bandits was a large truck con-
tanning 100000 sticks of chewing
gum. The significance of this lies
in the fact that the chewing gum
was peppermint favored and that
the price of peppermint had shot
suddenly from $500 or $500 a
pound to $4,000 a pound.
The general public, it is assumed
would have no knowledge of this in
crease in the cost of peppermint,
which has been considered trade
secret by the gum manufacturers.
The authorities are convinced, it is
said, that only an adequate re-
search department, maintained for
the benefit of criminals, could lead
to the theft Of a large quantity of
chewing gum.
Ten bandits, armed to the teeth
walked into the lighted garage Of
Daniels and Kennedy, at 225 South

PORT OF BELLINGHAM
MAY BUY DOCK SITE

Further development of the facil-
tiles of the Port of Bellingham may
be undertaken if the Bellingham Port
Commission decides to buy the water
front property Of the B. K. Wood Lum-
Der Co. This property totalling> 2200
feet frontage with a depth of more
than 400 feet has been offered to the
port by the lumber firm following
their decision not to rebuild their mill
which was destroyed by fire last Sep
TENDER. The property was offered at
$375, 900.
Chairman H. B. Paige of the Bell
ingham Port Commission is quoted
as favoring the purchase of the site
declaring it would enable the board
to offer industrial sites for lease at
reasonable rentals. He said that in
his opinion the rentals would pro-
vide enough money to meet the cost
of any port developments that may be
undertaken there.
The commission has applied to the
War Department for permission to ex-
tend it's dock beyond the outer har-
Dor line. 1t also plans to double the
size of the warehouse which is 100 by
276 feet.

Street, New York City, on the
morning of February 9th. The ban
dts found and gagged the night
watchmen and then made careful
examination of the premises.
"Here is the one we are after"
one of the bandits is reported to
have said as he pointed to truck
containing $50 cases of Beech-Nut
Peppermint Chewing Gum, valued
at 100000. Several of the ban
dts jumped upon the truck while
the others pushed the garage men
into waiting automobile. The gar
age men were set loose in a wild
part of Westchester County. The
truck was a 100000 truck belong
ing to the Alpha Trucking Corpora
ton, Is Peck Slip, New York City.
The trucking and garage companies
are offering a reward for informa-
tion which will lead to the appre-
|hension of the chewing gum bandits.
The picture shows the kind of haul
they made.
It is expected that 100000
worth of peppermint gum will be
Offered this summer along the road
sides and at summer resorts at re-
duced rates by the chewing gum
bootleggers.
In the meantime, the Police De-
partments are said to be combing the
country in the attempt to locate the
very efficient research staff to
which, it is assumed, the criminals
must have access.

portatiUh rates and conditions are
most favorable. They have focused the
attention Of manufacturing interests
and bringing capital to carry on the
development.
Because of the attractiveness of the
outbound cargo to vessels which ply
ton is being paid by these countries
to supplying the Pacific ports with re-
turn cargo. European countries for
instance have found in the Pacific
Coast most desirable market for their
machinery, tools, ship chandlery, iron,
and steel products, cement glass,
steel wire. From the countries of the
Southern hemisphere come coffee,
sugar and nitrates. From the Orient
vegetable oils, tea, rubber, spices,
iuto, beans, peanuts, cocoa, etc. Many
Of these can be used to round out the
for although they are not native raw
materials, they are here manufactured
to higher degree and again exported
as well as distributed to consumers in
other parts of the United States.
Mention should be made of intransit
privileges which the transcontinental
railroads accord to Pacific ports. I'm
ported commodities can be sorted, re-
fined, or manufactured in their pre-.
liminary stages and take the low
freight rate accorded imported goods.
Foreign trade no longer is only the
concern of the importer and exporter.
1t Is the concern OF all who wish to
see the Pacific Coast-and In fact
Notwithstanding to progress. The
manufacturer no less than the export
house; the retail merchant no less
than the importer; the workman who
builds a machine has as much inter
est in the development of our markets
as the sailor who carries our machln-
cry to the foreign port where 1t Is
needed

History T1onors Letter Carrier

In the old days the courier who
delivered Ellis Majesty's" commune
cations, either on dromedary, horse,
or rumbling stage, was considered a
rather important individual.
To him were entrusted epistles of
great moment concerning affairs OF
state, and history records more than
one instance where the very future
of nation hinged upon the success
full delivery of document or sealed
order.
Herodotus must have had some
thing like this in mind when he
penned for posterity his famous eu-
logy to the lowly letter carrier:
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat
nor gloom of night stays these cour-
iers from the swift completion of
their appointed rounds"
Hardly less important is the part
played today not only by the letter
carriers but by all postal employees
and officials in maintaining the cir
culatory system of civilization. A
vivid realization of the Importance
of the mail service to commerce and
industry alone may be obtained by
attempting to answer the question:
"What if. the mails should stop?
Contracts of vast Importance may
stand or fall upon the accuracy of
postal clerks and carriers in sorting
and delivering offers OR letters of
acceptance. Ideas and suggestions
that may revolutionize the business,
social, political, or scientific worlds
are confidently entrusted by their
originators to the United States
mails, in full certainty that efficient
clerks and letter carriers will speed
them to the proper destination.
Love letters; letters of forgive
ness; letters of reconciliation pass
through the same efficient hands;
are delivered with the same speed
and care. The whole of Lies drama
of joy and pain and hope and love, of
remuneration and despair, passes
through the post office.
A little slip in accuracy, thrilling
delay and who can estimate the long
chain of consequences; the lives all
tered; the destinies moulded or
shaken.
A last-moment will, disinheriting
the "black sheep" of the family, may
nudge derisively, in passing, his last
anguished letter of appeal. And
black-bordered missives draw stiff
fly away in the mail bag from the
brightly-colored card announcing the
arrival of a baby And the greet

Persia to Participate.

That Persia will participate official
ly in the Sesqui-Centennial lnterna-
tional Exposition at Philadelphia, was
made known last week through com
munication received from b. M. Ka-
zemi, Charge dAffalres Of the Per.
sian Legation in Washington.
A representative Of the Persian
Government will leave shortly for the
United States to superintend the con
struction of pavilion, according to

ton for the building.

forget your own individuality, in the
character you are playing g" Miss
Ferguson was asked.
"That would be fatal to good art,
she replied. "There are two schools
Of thought upon this subject. One
advocates the complete submergence
of the artists personality in that Of
the character, The other pictures
the artist standing, so to speak, be-
hind the character he plays, his arms
extending under those of the char
acter whom he moves about at will,
remaining mentally, within the
character and yet outside and above
it; at all times watching and listen
ing to his own performance. This
latter school is far truer to condi-
tions and leads to better art. Com
bine the keen and critical method of
character portrayal with deep, in
tuitive sympathy for others and you
have an excellent foundation for Sue
cess in the drama"

ing cards! Thousands upon thou
sands of them, of every hue and de-
sign, the bright messengers of birth
days, arrivals in families, of Mans
great holy festivals of Christmas,
New Years, Easter, Mothers Day,
Fathers Day; kind for every SEN
timent and every cherished time. SO
many of these are in that silent pro-
cession of the mails that the post
office authorities send out pleas to
mail them early before great Holt
days. The last such appeal comes
from Postmaster General Harry S.
New:
"Mail your gifts and cards early
before holidays" he urges. "You
will Tighten the labor of the postal
workers, and they deserve every con-
sideration from the public. Because
of the consideration displayed by
the public last year in mailing early
the postal employees had holiday
on Christmas Day."
People are very ready to be con-
siderate in this way when they re-
fleet that the whole vast framework
Of human intercourse rests upon the
accuracy, speed, and unselfish care
of the postal workers.

Sympathy Keynote of Success
In Drama, Says Elsie Ferguson

Sympathy is the very keynote of
dramatic success, in the opinion of
Miss Elsie Ferguson, famous act
ress, now appearing in "Close Quar-
ters." For how can you portray a
character" she asks, "unless you
have the power to think it's
thoughts, feel as it feels, find with
in yourself every motive that move S
it? And even that sensitiveness to
the mind and personality of another
is not enough. Besides feeling the
reasons for the motives and acts OF
the person you seek to portray, you
must have for these a sympathetic
understanding This does not mean
that you must be sanity to repro
duce the picture of saint, or base
to show the baseness Of a villain.
Shakespeare was neither saint nor
villain, yet he could touch at will
every emotional and intellectual key
between the two"
Intolerance is an absolute bar to
success in the drama, thinks Miss
Ferguson. "For intolerance is based
upon hatred and fear and these emo
lions freeze up the channels of ex-
PRESTON" she says. "But intoler-
.ance is rare" she adds, "the business
of portraying many characters gives
one gradually sense of unity with
all humankind. One finds every
potentiality Of good and evil within
ones own soul. And in the average
person the good so greatly predomi-
mates; divinity is so thinly yelled,
that the sincere artist must come
eventually to feeling of respect for
all mankind and very real attitude
of humbleness within his own heart"
Net to sympathy and tolerance,
appreciation is the greatest aid to
success upon the stage, Miss Fer
guson believes. MANY generous
and kindly people shower the artist
with greeting cards after success
full performance. The joy and in
SEPARATION conveyed by these bright
symbols of approval and encourage
ment, can scarcely be exaggerated
The custom Of sending greeting
cards to artists has come to be
very real impetus to the production
of fine art"
