HIGH PRAISE FOR
VALIANT" CAST
GalIatin County Hi Schools
Team Made Decided Hit at
MissOula Competition

A concrete idea of the splendid
schools theatrical team at the state
track and scholastic meet last week
may be gained from the following,
taken from the Daily Muscular:
Members of the Gallatin county
high school theatrical team literally
swept the competition field of four
schools in the finals of the first Mon
tana Little Theater tournament, held
at the university last night, by annex
ing not only first place for the best
play but the medals for the best boys
and the best girls performances Of
the evening. Libby won second place;
Helena, third, and Butte, fourth.
when the semi-final tournament
was held at the school yesterday
morning and afternoon, Is Montana
high schools had representative stage
groups at the university for compe-
tition. AS the result Of the morning
session Butte and Bozeman were left
for final participation in the evening
| and the afternoon choice of he Judges
fell to Libby and Helena. Starting
at 8:15 o'clock last night, the plays
were presented to a packed house in
the university's own Little Theatre.
"The prize winning play, "The
Valiant" by Hall and Middlemass,
was given as the second number on
the program. Not enough may be
said of the excellent work of the
cast under the direction Of Dina Rees
Evans. "The Valiant" in the first
place, is gripping. Add to a good

WHY ADVERTISING
DECREASES COSTS

Newspaper advertising IN
America cost S235, 00O, 900 last
year, a gain of $15,O0O,OOO over
1925.
It has been argued that adver-
Using is so much waste, so much
added unnecessarily to the cost
of articles sold.
In one sense that is true; if
sales could be made without it,
prices could be made that much
less to the consumer.
But the world buys only on in
information. 1t travels because
it knows where to go, what it
can see, how much it will cost.
1t builds new houses because it
reads how other people build and
live and enjoy 1t dresses in new
fabrics because these come to its
reading eyes. 1t is many times
cheaper to get all this infOrma-
ton by reading than in any other
manner.
But for what it reads in the
advertising columns, the world
would settle down into a tumble
of ignorant, unkempt, leave-me-
alone, provincial units.

season, the book takes up a study of
each phase of agriculture in the state.
Fifty photographs illustrate the text
showing scenes from every portion of
Montana and from every branch of
the industry.
This edition of the Montana Farm

ricultural economic statistician.

SECOND LIBERTY

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary

ond Liberty Loan bonds. Interest on
these bonds will cease on November
15, 1927. Approximately ST. zoo ,0O0,-
900 of these bonds are now %outstand-
ing.
While these bonds will be paid on
November 10, 1927, it is quite prob
able that during the next six months
the Treasury will extend to the hold
ers of the Second Liberty Loan bonds
an opportunity to exchange them for
other Government securities. No an
nOuncement has as yet been made as
to the type of security to be offered
in exchange, or the date on which the
exchange may be expected. The
Treasury explains that the terms Of
the bonds require that a notice be
given to the public six months In adj
vance of the redemption date. The
secretary's announcement, therefore,
does not mean that the bonds will be
paid at the present time, but merely
places the holders on notice that their
bonds will be redeemed on November
Is, and will to bear interest on
that date.
If holders of Second Liberties de-
sire to have their bonds redeemed on
November Is, they should present
them for payment on November Is.

~ VIEW YORK, February 8. -
George Sisler will not manage
VI the st. Louis Browns in 1927,
4 as he did the last two base
ball seasons, but he will play
ball with them-and he isn't mad at
anybody.
The task of managing is very dis
tinct from that OF playing. Slsler
marred two years Of superb base ball
by monkeying with something which
demanded a sacrifice of him.
SisIer was a great ball player, who
should have been coddled as a great
bali player. and who should have per.
mitted somebody else to do the man.
aging. II most great ball players
would take a vow not to try to be
great managers they would be bet
ter Off.
Sisler has led an outdoor life all
this Winter. He has not had one man
agerial care to fuss him, nor one
frown from the business office. He
has tried to build himself up in health
and remedy the trouble with his eyes
which threatened to ruin them.
Sisler Not Embittered.
There isn't a jealous hair on his
head. Dan Howley has got the job
of managing the Browns and Sisler
has survived the shock separating
himself from the task that he never
should have undertaken.
Sisler, unfortunately. had his eye
sight affected by illness at a most in
opportune time. A star player, he
had been made manager and then be-
came not partially blind, as some had

able to play. With his sight worry
ing him he took on a job that would
worry an image craven in stone, and
the combination mighty near spoiled
one of the best players in the history
of base ball.
Sisler thinks Bill Killefer will be
good coach for the Browns. and as
one of the weak spots of the Browns
was their pitching staff the former
manager expects to see the team go
UP the ladder this year because the
pitchers will have more skill.
Some Troubles Removed.
Sisler did not always get on well
with McManus, who has been traded
to Detroit McManus did not under
stand Sisler In the least. He thought
the manager did not know enough to
manage and failed to realize that some
of the seeming slowness on the part
of Sisler was because the boss brood

slapped him by partially binding him
when he was most ambitious to do his
best.
Other players besides McManus

it. Naturally that did not make for

team.

juggling. coupled with the fact
that at least two other we'll heeled
clubs were in the market for his
services. which necessitated their
bids being equaled, if not topped,
makes it apparent that the athlete
who ranges over the outer grass
plot at the Georgia avenue sta
dunn next Summer will represent
some rather important jack.
Whatever Speaker cost, and
dismissing it as just plenty, he
will prove worth it.
Ball players invariably react
favorably to change of scenery.
This has been brought home to
+ Washington fans in recent years
in the cases of Peckinpaugh and
Ruether and Coveleskie.
Spoke not only will have the
shift of locale as an incentive for
effort, but will be spurred by the
ambition to Guido himself i'll his
season of vindication, and with
no managerial burdens to tote

stardom he already has known.
A Sound Investment.

box Office magnet as a team, but
his value extends far beyond that,
for due to the off-season publicity
accorded his tribulations he will
prove one of the biggest gate at

Thus is answered any question
as to the wisdom of the invest
ment, with additional reason for
the Clark Calvin part of Crit

disregarded in favor of Old Fox.
