THE BOHEMIAN NATIONAL
READY FOR BUSINESS AGAIN

READY FOR BUSINESS AGAIN
Depositors in the Bozeman Nation
al bank have accepted the terms pro-
posed by the bank so much more
rapidly than the officers had hoped,
that the bank is now ready to re-
open and has received authority of
the comptroller Of the currency to
do so.
In the short time that has elapsed
since the bank sent out its PROPOSE
ton to it's creditors it has secured ac-
ceptances to the amount Of 95 per
cent of its liabilities. No higher
compliment to the bank could be paid
than has been paid in this exhibition
Of confidence and good will on the
part Of its depositors.
Cashier Koch expected that the
bank would be able to resume bust
ness by December Is. The creditors
of the bank have acted so promptly
and cheerfully, however, that the
bank was ready to open on the 18th
of this month, if it had had authority
to do so. A statement of how mat
tiers stand was sent to the cOmptrol-
Ter and Receiver Hoffman has beer
authorized to turn owe the property
in his hands to the officials of the
bank. This will be done today and
the bank will reopen for business
Monday morning, Nov. 20.
The Importance of the re-opening
of the Bozeman National at this time
can hardly be overestimated and thu
news will be hailed with satisfactory
approval by all of our citizens who
without a dissenting voice, will con
graduate the cashier, Peter Koch, TO,
his interchangeable and successful eff
forts in behalf of the best interest
of tie entire community.

The Securities Market

The general movement of bond
prices in the last month has been
moderately upward, according to the
current issue Of the Guaranty Sur
vey, published by the Guaranty Trust
company of New York. The advance
during the first half of the month
represented practically complete re-
covery of the levels prevailing prior
to the slight recession near the end
of September.
All the major groups of bonds have
participated in this market appreci-
alton, the Survey says further, high
grade rail issues advancing most and
public utilities least. The combined
average as the Survey goes TO press
is only about one-half a point below
the years high to date, recorded in
June. The continuing strength of
bond prices reflects an absence of
strain upon the money market at a
season when there is ordinarily a pro-
nounced concentration of credit needs.
Whatever the intrinsic merit of an
issue of bonds may be, complete sta
bility of price over a considerable
period is almost never to be expected,
An e~ver-present problem confronting
the investor for whom stability of
market price is an important factor
is, accordingly the selection of such
investments as may be expected tt
resist most strongly general influ-
ences which would tend to depres:
security prices.
Hence, at every stage in the cycle
of bond prices, and particularly at
time when values are relatively high
investors prefer securities, whether
of governmental or corporate units
which have the support of improving
underlying conditions. In the recent
period of general prosperity for near
ly all classes of industry, a wide va
riety Of opportunities for such selec
tons has been presented. The in
vestor's problem has been to discove
the most promising of many inviting
possibilities.

LAUNDRY PROBLEM
With HARD WATER

If every home could have an abund-
nee of perfectly pure water, the
home-laundry problem would be
greatly simplified, according to the
United States department of agricul-
ture. However, as found in it's natur-
al state water always contains more
or less dissolved and suspended ma
ter.al. This may consist Of harmless
gases and dirt that the rain has car
ried down in its passage through the
air, or mineral compounds Of various
kinds which the water has acquired
as it passed through the soil or over
it's surface. The latter include a
large number of substances, among
the most important being compounds
of sodium, calcium, magnesium, and
iron.
Distillation is the best method of
rendering fit for use water that is
excessively alkaline, acid, or salty,
but it is impractical in the home.
Filtration or s~oftening by means of
boiling or by the addition of chem
icals are the usual methods used in
the household. The use Of washing
soda is an inexpensive method of
treating hard water. One pound Of
soda is dissolved in 1 quart of water,
and 2 tablespoons Of this solution
used for each gallon of water. Other
chemicals may also be used. The
greatest difficulty in using them is
determining the quantity required by
the degree of hardness of the water

THOUSANDS DUE
HERE FOR Shrine
FETE in AUGUST

Indications that the Eighth Annual
Roundup and the Bagdad Shrine Cere-
mOnial, to be staged in BOzeman
August 5, 6 and z, will prove not
only the biggest event in the history
of BOzeman but one Of the outstand-
ing celebrations the Northwest has
enjoyed for many years, continue to
multiply.
At a recent meeting of the BOze-
man Chamber Of Commerce, Ralph L.
Robertson Of Three Forks, pOtentats
of Bagdad temple, declared that no
less than $4,000 people will be here
for the event, including 1000 Mon
taana Shriners and many from other
states. "The thing is the greatest
event Of the kind ever attempted in
! Montana" he asserted, "and while
the inducement will be the u
ment feature, with the Wild West
show, the results will be f~ar-reaching,
and not only Bozeman but the en-
tire Gallatin valley will be benefited
by the gathering"
Preparations to take care Of and
amuse the thousands expected to come
here are going forward rapidly. In
der the Craftsmanship of Frank NJ.
Gray, assisted by Bernal Alexander,
masters Of the two Bozeman Masonic
lodges, plans for housing Of the Wis

to provide entertainment is being
raised by a committee Of which L. z
Copeland is head, and the membership
: Of which includes L. w. Truitt, R. o
: Wilson, Harry Ref, R. D. Dean, anC
I Charles Fisher. The Bozeman Shrine
club, of which Carlisle Kenyon Is
, president, is cooperating heartily.
