VOTE FOR RYDER AND YOUR BEST INTERESTS

The arguments for Arthur Ryder for reelection IS represen-
tative in the legislature are the best that can be presented. He
has had long residence in this county, is experienced in business
IS well as farming, he is practical and well equipped for the po
siton, he is a heavy tax payer, his whole interests are centered
in Montana and in this county. But greater than al other REQ
sens for his reelection is the fact of his experience in the last
session CT the legislature which fits him tc be Of greater value
to his constituents in the coming session. Quite an active cam
psign is being made against him by the democrats in the east end
port him. Mrs. Lucy Curran is not the object Of an attack and
is certain of election. Both Mr.. Ryder end Mrs. Curran should
be elected and can be easily, if their friends turn out at election
and vote.

MISS TRUMPER ON
FIVE MILL LEVY

Continued From First Page)
put up to the legislature. A plan
that would bring about the de-
sired results called for much
study, Miss Trumper said, but one
was finally reached.
Among the school districts of
Montana, said Miss Trumper,
there is an astonishing variation
in the assessed valuation per teach
.er, who CHI is made the basis of
comparison. This condition which
is largely a matter of chance, is
reflected in the school levies of
the different districts. A chart
showed these to be from 0 to 95
mills. In Roosevelt county the
range is from 0 to So mills.
Some districts on account of
mines, railroads or power pro-
iects are immensely wealthy. The
speaker mentioned a district with
a valuation of well over a million
dollars. This ristrict hes one
teacher and ~ pupils. Other dis
tricts are so poor that the whole
valuato on produces only a li5tle
over 5000 a year.
To maintain schools of high
standards and good equipment
providing for essentials but not
luxuries) requires assessed valua-
ton of about $780, 900 per teacher,
said Miss Trumper. The distribu-
tion plan suggested, considers dis
with valuations per teacher
Of $4,000 to S85, 900 as self sus-
tanned and not in need of aid.
Districts above that would pay
the maintenance of the
districts falling below the $751;
900 level. Districts below the
established level, while they
would pay the 5 mills would re-
reve back in the distribution the
5 mills and more besides. The dis
5ribution plan contemplated en-
ploys a rs per cent teacher and
25 per cent pupil basis. There
would be an equalization fund to
AXE care Of distr cts 80 low in
valuation that they could not be
sufficiently provided for by the
distribution plan. There would
also be a fund for aiding needy
Ugh schools. The 5-mill fund
would make it possible and adj
to limit district levies to
20 mills, but districts would be
assured of as much funds as for
nerly received through high lev
es.

Trumper very Interestingly

few remunerated men. They have,

uuate protection against fire. The

yesterdays showing, the nearby COM

scheme should be abandoned in the
outlying sections, where there is
only light traffic on cross streets. as
there appears to be no particular rea-
son for requiring every occasional au-
tomobile to come to a full stop before
entering 22-mile limit arterial high
way.
Although it defeats the main OBJ
ject Of stop" streets, which is to
move heavy traffic at a safe. fast
pace, there is no alternative but to
abandon the plan in the outlying sec
tons if the scheme cannot be COM
pleted as originally planned. There
Is certainly no reason to cause in
convenience and stopping is ad-
mittedly an inconvenience-to a large
number of motorists with no CORE
spending benefit.
In the residential and uptown Sec
tons the system can be carried on
as 1t is now. because in many cases
the stop is a. traffic necessity on ap-
preaching heavily Travelled streets.
SO there are two choices, either to
complete the scheme or abandon 1t
where it will cause inconvenience
without benefit. Under its present
operation 1t is lopsided and unw1eldy
and the choice will have to be made.
stop streets with high speed
limits in suburban districts have
proved practical in moro congested
localities than Washington. 1t would
seem. therefore. that the logical
choice would be to rush through to
completion a modern boulevard sys-
tenn which will allow a fast. safe flow
Of traffic. An interested city is
awaiting the decision on this inn
portant matter.

sides in the motive that impels it
rather than the form Of it's express

governed very largely by emotions
that render it unworthy and unprofit-

for their glow and enthusiasm upon
some personality that for the while
administers the concerns of the
church. In other words, it is the
preacher who affects very largely our
religious emotions. Hence churches

The Stop System.

Erection of the new stop" signs
for boulevard and arte1ial streets in
Washington is proceeding, but so
far nothing seems to have been ac-
complished along the line OF in
creased speed for automobiles on
these highways, the sole object of the
entire campaign for stop" streets.
Boulevard streets and arterfal high
ways serve their purpose throughout
the country as fast traffic, safe roads.
In Washington. however. despite
congressional authorization for high
er speed limits in the outlying sec
tons and despite recommendations Of
the traffic office that thirty miles an
hour be set on portions Of thirteen
of these streets, the entire project
seems to have disappeared some
where between the Office Of the Board
of commissioners and the traffic
council. to which it was submitted
for approval.

the rate of occurrence of cancer de
creases very rapidly.
One of the great English authorities
says that cancer Is a. part of the
price we pay for civilization" and
adds: 1--WE know that cancer is the
result Of the slow poisoning Of our
bodies under the unnatural conditions
which civilization imposes on them
and we can prevent it as soon as we
educate civilized people to return to
the natural habits and diet of uncivil
lied people,"
Whether or not cancer is hereditary
is q question that has long occupied
the attention both Of statisticians and
of physicians and surgeons. The con-
sensus Of opinion now Is that it is
not. You are not likely to be victim
Of the disease because a parent had
1t, although it is recognized that in
some families there may be a ten
dency to cancer. Again, however, 1t
may be that a family has what ap-
pears to be an unusual number OF
cases Of cancer and this may be due
to the fact that 1t is a large family
or a long-lived family.
Perhaps the strongest Evidence that
cancer is not transmitted in the blood
is the conclusion reached by life in.
surance companies that a history of
cancer in the ancestry Is not to be
regarded as sign that cancer will oc-
cur In the descendants. That is to
say, person is not considered bad
risk because there has been cancer
In his family.
Cancer Not Contagious.
Nor is the disease contagious, con.
trary to a widely prevalent superstt
ton or belief. There is said to be no
recorded evidence Of case in which
cancer has been transferred from one
person to another or in which q sur.
geon has contracted the disease during
an operation on a cancerous person.
or in which 6, person nursing a victim
has had the disease transmitted tC
him or her
The cause of cancer is not definitely
known, but it seems generally agreed
that irritation Is one of the things
that primarily incite cancerous
growths, and hence is something to
be avoided.
AS to the cure or prevention, DR.
Francis c. Wood, director of the In.
stitute Of Cancer Research of Column
bia University, and one Of the greatest
authorities on the subject, declares
that the only generally successful cure
for cancer is its removal as early as
possible by surgical means.
And everybody should know and
remember that when a cancer begins
1t Is no larger than a pin-point, SO
that If diagnosis is made and it is
cut out in time every cancer would be
durable.
