The Farm Dollar

In his address Mr.. Mitchell
dwelt particularly upon the econo-
mic aspects eff conditions in the
United States and showed that al
She present tine the farmers dol
lar, as compared with the dollar
of other classes of wage earners,
had the purchasing power of only
go cents. whereas in 1890 the
farmers dollar had a purchasing
power of IS cents, and that only
during the war. when there was
a guaranteed price for farm pro-
ducts. was it ever worth more
than 100 cents. He stated that
during the five year period be-
tween 1920 and 1925 the valua-
ton Of all farm property in the
United States had decreased 20
Billion dollars, while other bust
nesses had increased in valuation
65 billion dollars. A continuation
Of the conditions which brought
these things about would, Mr..
Mitchell said, cause u farming
class to sink into a peasant class
as in Europe. This would be a
disastrous thing to happen. Mr..
Mitchell expressed himself as fav-
oring a program which would adj
nit of a more general distribution
of the wealth of the country rath-
er than a program which would
bring about the greater and great
er accumulation of wealth by cap
itslists. Mr.. Mitchell said that a
high tariff on wheat would never
help the farmers as long as we
are a wheat-exporting nation.
Senator Anderson talked brief
" about the fitness of Mr.. Mitchell
to represent this district in Con-
gress, and called attention TO the
fact that Senator Leavitt is con-
sistently a Coolidge man, voting
with the administration forces on
meters of vital Importance to
this section of the country.

meeting and T. P. Danielson of
Poplar made a brief talk regard
ing the candidacy of himself and

for state representative
berths.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY
MEETS WITH FAVOR
Continued from first page)
A Practical Route

"A frdCtlCdl Route
In asking for the change il
highway designation from the
e Circle-Jordsn route to Circle.
Wolf Point, no harm or injustice
! is intended or done to Jordan
Both Jordan and Circle being in.
: land towns there is slight advan-
tage in an expensive highway be-
tween them. Very few settlers
live along the route, and the
road, even if built, would be used
by only a slight fraction of the
number of people served by the
north and south route. Jordan
has a good road to Miles City and
the route is designated as a fed
eral highway.
At the time this is written
Young and Moore have not return
ed. The Helena correspondent of
the Great Falls Tribune con-
cludes his story of the appearance
before the commission of the Wolf
Point men, with the statement
that the matter was looked upon
with favor by the members of the
commission who will seek to ob-
tain favorable action by the gov
eminent authorities. The Tribune
story follows.
Business and public interests
Iof Wolf Point, Roosevelt county,
are extremely anxious to bring
about the designation of a route
running south from Wolf Point
to Circle as a part Of the federal
system of highways in Montana.
"W. L. Young, chairman of the
board of commissioners of Roose-
welt county, and R. ]. Moore, pro-
prietor of the Sherman hotel at
Wolf Point, appeared before the
state highway commission Tues
day and presented arguments in
favor of a change in the desig-
mated system of federal highways
which would permit of the obtain
ing of federal aid for the improv-
ling of the proposed route and for
the construction of a bridge
across the Missouri river leading
in to Wolf Point.
Substitution Suggested
at was pointed out that this
road would form a link in a north
and south road which would ex-
tend from the international
boundary south through Sccbey,
Wolf Point, and Circle to Terry,
all county seats; that it is now the
main travelled north end south
road in that portion of the state
and is greatly used for the mar
keting of grain end other farm
products in the country south of
the river that now must be trans
ported by ferry acros the river.
cat the present time only that
part from Wolf Point to Circle
is desired as a designated federal
system road, the mileage being
53.3 miles, passing through a well
settled country, there being ~
mail boxes scattered along the
road now. Knowing that it will
be impossible at this time to OBJ
tain an increase in the federal
system mileage in Montana the
petitioners suggest the substitu-
ticn of this piece OF road for the
designation already made upon the
east and west road between Circle
and Jordan, covering a distance
eff rs miles and with only two
ranches served. This matter was
upon with favor by the
highway commission which will en-
deavor TO obtain a concession
from the federal government.

How We Can Save A Hundred
Million Dollars On Fuel
Expert Says Heating Efficiency Of Average
Furnace Can Be Increased 10 Percent

THE coal strike with its attend
i ing hardships has led experts
to consider ways of reducing our
dependency upon Old King Anthra-
cite. One of the most interesting
suggestions has to DO with saving
fuel by increasing the efficiency Of
the heating plant. It is made by
P. E. Fansler, E.E., in his article
on Heating the American Home"
in February "Good Housekeeping"
1t requires, he says, about one
hundred million tons Of coal annu-
ally to make comfortable the homes
in America that need artificial heat
during any portion of the year.
The cost to the consumer in. the
aggregate is in excess of a billion
dollars. The other natural fuels,
gas and oil, the use of which is
increasing rapidly, add materially
to this figure. The heating of
American homes is, therefore, a
matter of vast economic import
ance, to say nothing of the need
for healthful and comfortable liv-
ing conditions. If the average eff
ficiency Of our house-heating plants
burning coal could be increased 10
percent, the gross saving would be
approximately s100D0O,00O. Such
a change for the better is not be-
yond reason--evep more, it may
be possible.

boiler in your home, or a hot water

Crew Escapes When
Army Dirigible TA-5
Drops Into HarbOr

Norfolk, Va, March 10.-(AP).-
Escaping gas and failure of her mo-
tors caused the army dirigible TAB
to drop nose first late today in Low
er Hampton Roads, near Thimble
Shoal Light.
The three men aboard had narrow
escape, but We're rescued without Sc
rious injury by the coastguard pa
ttol boat 2314.
The crew was composed of Lieu
tenant Rowland KietburtZ, Technic-
al Sergeant Chester Johnson and Me-
chanic Joseph Winter. Lieutenant
KietburtZ was first reported badly
injured, but was found to have been
only slightly hurt, after the TA5 had
been towed to Langley Field. where
the craft is stationed. by the army
tub Reno from Old Point. -
The. TA-5 was observed to be in
trouble 90 minutes before she fell,
and four planes from the naval base
here went up to offer assistance but
could nothing. When the ship struck
her water her stern was left high in
the air and the gas bag was damaged
to some extent.
The ship was 1900 feet in the air
when trouble developed. but Lieuten

system, or a warm air furnace,
perhaps of the so-called "pipeless"
type? Is your system the best
for the purpose? And, most inn
portant of all, are you getting the
most out of your present installa-
ton? These are significant ques-
tons and may best be answered
by considering some Of the basic
principles of house heating.
Today in house heating, as in
modern medicine, the proper prac-
tice is prevention rather than cure.
We attempt to prevent the loss Of
heat rather than to design heat
ing plant that will take care Of
any loss, no matter how great.
This is done by putting heat
insulating materials such as cork
board, wood shavings, or certain
patented composition boards in
the walls of our houses. We also
install double windows, or, as we
call them, storm windows. To pre-
vent excessive direct losses through
the infiltration Of air we provide
misunderstanding around the win
dows and doors. Any and all Of
these things will be helpful in saw
ing fuel and in making our homes
more comfortable. When the value
of proper construction to prevent
heat loss is better understood, the
prospective house owner will not
be satisfied with types Of construc-
ton that are now generally used.

Queen Mary herself has taken great
interest in the introduction of
modern Improvements at the ancient
Palace, and she and King George
will pay a visit there as soon as the
innovations have been installed.
Queen Mary also has purchased
much antique furniture and many

which an ancient stairway was re-
moved to make way for an Ameri-

Gen. Butler Prefers
Wet Charges Against
Marine Base Colonel

San Diego, Cal, March 1O-(AP).
-Brigadier General Smedley D. But
Ter, who hoped off his war record as
a devil dog to fight vice and
liquor in Philadelphia as head of the
police there for two years, continued
his crusade against drink here to-
day when he filed charges of drunk
enness and conduct unbecoming an
office against Colonel Alexander Will
llams of the San Diego marine base.
General Buffers action followed d
dinner given Saturday evening at
Colonel Williams home in Coronado
in General Buffers honor. Cocktails,
it is said, were served at the dinner,
which was attended by a number of
officers of the marine corps and their
wives. 1t is said that General But
Ter made some comment regarding
the cocktails. The charges against
Colonel Williams, however, were
based on party which was held lat
er at hotel in Coronado. all of those
at the dinner having been invited.
General Buffers charge was sent
today to Rear Admiral Ashley D.
Robertson, commanding the Eleventh
Naval District here. Admiral Rob-
ertson said he would send the chages
to Washington for final action by the
navy department.
Several affidavits accompanied the
charges. General Butler and some
other officers declared in the affida-
Wits that Colonel Williams was intox-
icated. Other afTidavits declared he
was not. 1t was said at Eleventh
Naval District headquarters that reg
ulation require the affidavit of navy
physician in such a case. No such
affidavit had been filed at district
headquarters today, it was reported.
Colonel Williams was placed under
technical arrest at the hotel and was
summarily removed from command
of the Fourth Regiment of marines,
to which command he reverted when
General Butler relieved him as COM
mander of the marine base a few
days ago.
Should the navy department take
cognizance of General Buffers
charges and order Colonel Williams
tried by general courtmartial. the
board, it is added. will convene either
at district headquarters in San Fran
cisco or at the marine base.
Colonel Williams has had long
and distinguished career in the ma
rine corps
He was born in New York City Au-
gust 25. 1877. and was commissioned
a second lieutenant in the corps Oc-
tober II, 1899. During the World
War he commanded the. Haitian gen.
darmerie with the rank of major gen.
eral. He is a graduate of the Naval
War College at Newport and of the
army school of the line at Fort Leav-
enworth, Kansas. He assumed COM
mand of the Fourth Regiment when it

lucky beauty. Major General Wendell
Neville, commanding the department
of the Pacific, Marine Corps, with
headquarters at san Francisco, was
best man at the wedding.
General Butler was not at the ma
rine post today. 1t is understood that
after filing the charges with Admiral
Robertson he left for San Francisco
to confer with General Neville.

Catholic Church Defines
Attitude Toward Politics

Count Giuseppe Dalla Tore, editor
of the "Osservatore Romano the
only paper in the world which is d.
rectly dependent upon the Holy See,
in defining the attitude of the Catho-
lie Church toward politics says. in
The Forum, that according to Catho-
lie logic, the Church, which is the
custodian of religion, which inter-
prets, teaches. and applies religious
principles, which endeavors to bring
morality and social life into conform
ity with it's teachings, cannot ignore
politics: neither can politics repudiate
the guidance and the advice of the
Church. While the fields must be
clearly divided, relations between
them must of necessity exist in con-
nection with every problem in which
the spiritual and the moral element
is associated with the material ele-
ment, and every problem which af-
fects. what Thomas Aquinas defined
as "the common good" proper to
civilized society. And in the attain
ment of this. the claims of eternal
ends which overshadow all Things
temporal, las ends always over
shadow means,-are not obstructed
but are even furthered by the estab-
lishment of earthly welfare and JUS
tice.
Problems comprising both a re-
ligious and moral aspect often enter
the political field and occasionally be-
come actual political issues. We
might name an infinite number of
relating TO the fam
lily and to the schools, to the relations
between Church and State, to public
morality both in the press and In pri-
vate conduct, and SO on. The Church's
attitude in these matters is based on
two fundamental principles WHICH
can be summarized as follows:
1.-The end does not justify the
means: no political aim. however just
and noble it may be. can no attained
by Illicit means
