GLEN HUNTERS broadway BOOB
PLEASES OPERA HOUSE PATRONS

McDermott, Roy Darcy and WAN

Glen Hunter provides plenty of
opportunity for laughs In his new
vehicle, "A Broadway Boob" The
story deals with Daniel Williams.
man about town in his native Belle
Vile, and Mary Abbott, prettiest
maid in the country, taking in
carnival in spite Ct Daniels
fathers objections. Old Mr.. Will
liams, choleric president of the
Belleville bank, disapproved of car
nivals.
And when father and son acct
IDENTIFY met on the carnival site, the
hot Williams temper boiled over,
and Daniel found himself declaring
his intention of never returning
home again to be bullied.
This was the prologue to Daniels
lean weeks of searching for a job
in New York, whittier he went after
the quarrel. He answered an ad-
vertisement for an assistant janitor.
finally, and was sent to the back
stage of 'The Broadway Scandals"
and told to wait.
The manager of the Scandals had
been trying to work in some come
dy and had failed miserably.. He
was In despair until he spied the
yokel, Daniel, fidgetting miserably
under the gibes of the chorus girls.
Say you!" he called. Can you
do a dance?"
He asked the toe dancer to do
her dance, and directed Daniel to
attempt the same. The result was
an uproarious burlesque. The man.
ager told Daniel he was hired.
Back home. Daniels dad was in
difficulty. Because he would not
loan several thousand dollars to
Barrett, the village capitalist. Bar
rett withdrew his money and circu-
lated a report that the bank was
weak. A run on the bank started.
Mr.. Williams telegraphed her son
telling him of his fathers difficulty
and asking him to deposit his mon
ey in the bank.
Then Daniel hurried off to see
Barrett.
But Barrett firmly refused aid. He
walked to the window and calmly
turned his back on Daniel. At that
moment Ritzi's chauffeur looked I'D,
His face broke into smile of recog-
milton.
"Why hello! Mr.. Richards" he
exclaimed. II didn't know you lived
here"
Daniel turned to the sheepish Mr..
Barrett.
"Tootsie!" he shouted. '.Now
you'll help me, won't your"
So there was nothing left for Bar
rett to do, to escape unpleasant pub
licity, but to re-deposit his account.
And Daniel and Mary<were reunited,
the bank re-established, and the fu-
tufe as rosy as the dawn.

ERICKSON PR0CNMS AMERICAN FOREST WEEK APRIL l8A

Declaring that Montana is a state of great and varied resources,
among which forests rank high, Governor Erickson fixes April
Is to "a as MOntanas forest week, and calls on all citizens to
join in the nationwide effort to conserve and regrOw forests.
The proclamation in full, which was made public by the state
committee, follows:
montana is a state of vast and varied resources. In the list
our forests rank high, not only as sources of raw materials of
industry, but in the benefits that come from the waters, wild
life and scenic values which are dependent on forest cover. Dis
tributed throughout the mountainous districts, forests supply
the farms, the ranches and the mines with building material and
timbers, they prevent floods and destructive erosion, and provide
Fairgrounds and outdoor recreation so necessary for the restOr-
alton and preservation of health.
"Vital as they are to the public welfare, history shows that
forests cannot withstand the inrOads of a civilization which sub
.jects them to unrestricted cutting and fires. Timber is a crop
and can be produced by intelligent care and proper methods Of
harvesting to provide for regrOWth. Fire is a constant menace
and one which all people may help to overcome. A genuine and
widespread interest in forest preservation is essential and amply
warrants special emphasis through the observance of American
Forest week.
Therefore, l. J. E. Erickson, governor Of the state of Montana,
pursuant to the proclamation of the president of the United States
do hereby proclaim and designate the week of April 1924, 1926,
as American Forest week in this state, and urge all public Of
ficials, associations and forest owners, the press and the schools
and citizens of the state generally to join in the nationwide
effort to build up interest and knowledge concerning the pre-
servatiOn and regrOwing of forests"

BASEBALL PRACTICE
PROGRESSING WELL
Many Old Men and Several New
Out for Positions on

Spring training is taking up a lot
Of interest by these interested in the
great national pastime. Although
the call for varsity baseball men has
not been officially issued many Of last
years veterans are out every day
warming up and taking advantage Of
the last few days Of real spring
weather.
The baseball nine for this year
promises to be as strong as last
years inasmuch as only three reg
ulars Of last years squad are lost
through graduation. Captain Glynn
will probably be the mainstaff Of the
pitching force together with the
sOuthpaw, BabcOck, and the hig right
handler Hartwig. Glynn is also an
adept infielder, playing any position
on the infield, while Hartwig plays
regularly in an Outfield berth, being
an especially heavy stick man. Bowen
at short is a regular that viii be

Benton and Finley at second and first
respectively are the two infielders

CranstOn and Yedlicka are last years
regulars at the receiving end and this
position viii be augmented this year
by Scotty Mcdonald who has had
considerable experience at the plate.
Stone and Pitt are regular O~utfielders
and letter men from last year and
several coed men will be out for these
positions this year, among whom are
Harma, 10y and several others. Me-
thewsOn and Cannon win be out for
mound positions. Among the infield
prospects are TFilde, Keyes and
Bartsch.
Interest is already rife as to the
outcome Of the four University games
which are to be- acl. as he Sc .l,e

ises to have a formidable squad this
year also, with many veterans back

IT'S SIGNIFICANCE.

American Forest week is an annual
call ito all citizens, young and old, to
take part in bringing about better
forest conditions. The American For
est Week committee, Of which Hon.
Frank o. Lowden of Illinois is general
chairman, is composed Of nearly 100
organizations representing about
every conceivable form Of interest
the federal government, state govern
ments, outdoor, wild life, and recrea-
tiCnal interests, fOresters and forestry
associations, the lumber industry,
large consumers Of forest products,
the industrial world in general, labor,
groups interested in water resources,
scientific and civic organizations, and
a host of others.
American Forest week is all in
elusive, for its purpose is to give OPP
portunity for every form of interest
in trees and forests to find express
sion, each in its own way. The end
it aims at is that the general welfare
may be promoted through the taking
CT common cousel, the formation OF
intelligent public opinion, and the
stimulating of action, individual anC
collective, under the impulse thus
given.
American forest week is not a too.
for advancing the views or serving
the purposes Of any special group Of
organization. It does not identify it
self with any particular measures o.
program, but seeks to make know
facts and to promote discussion from
every angle. 1t has no goal Othe,
than that which a rightly infOrme,
public opinion may Of itself set u
and seek. 1t is strictly and who'll!
educational in plan and purpose.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-04-16
HISTORY OF WEEK.

The idea of devoting seven days in
the year to forestry education origi-
mated on the Pacific coast in 1920.
President Harding in 1922 and 1923
issued presidential prOclamatiOns
which brought the federal government
behind the idea. President Coolidge
in turn gave the plan his sanction and
issued presidential prOclamaticns for
1924, 1926, and again this year.
Out of the multifarious weeks"
this is the only n to- which the gov
eminent has given such recognition
and support for five successive years.
Many governors have likewise issued
special procIamatiOns. At first,
American Forest week was called
Forest Protection week." but the
breadth of the forest problem led
President Coolidge in 1925 to enlarge
the scope of the undertaking and
change its name to American Forest
week.
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-04-16
FOREST FIRE MENACE.

Fire is the greatest single enemy
of the forests. The United States
Forest service places the annual num-
Der of forest fires in the entire United
States as $4,000. The average area
swept by fires each year stands at
14,600,000 acres Of which 1O,500,00O
acres is forest land. The annual dam
age runs up to $2O,OOO,OOO, exclusive
Of damage to young growth, water
shed protection, r~ecreational facilities,
and other damage upon which no exact
money value can be placed.
The outstanding fact about forest
fires is that 90 per cent of them are
man caused. When the American peO-
pie stop burning their wooded areas
the solution Of the nations timber
supply problem will net be far off.

May | DESIGNATED
NATIONAL egg DAY
Treasure State VIII Take Part
In Its Observance-TO Stress
Better Marketing

Montana will take part in the OBJ
servance of National Egg day." May
1, according to Miss H. E. Cushman,
poultry specialist for the Montana
State college extension service, who
has been appointed chairman of the
Montana committee which is arrang-
ing the program for this state.
The Montana State Poultry Breed
ers association, Of which ]. R. Scott
Of Helena is president; county and
local poultry associations and a num-
Der of commercial clubs and other
organizations will lend heir aid in
arousing interest in the food value of
eggs.
According to Miss Cushman, an
important part of the program for
Montana will be to direct attention
to the fact that many Of he eggs con-
sumed in the state are from outside
sources while many of the eggs pro-
duced in the state r exported. This
system Of distribution is uneconom-
ical and inefficient for the producer
as well as for the consumer and there
fore both classes of the population
have a direct interest in correcting
the situation, says the poultry spe,
cialist.
