MORE THAN 100000 IN
ATTENDANCE AT PAGEANT
Parade Passed In Review Satur-
day for Last Time.

With another record attendance of
over 100000 persons at the Centen-
airy Exhibition and Pageant of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad at Hale
thorpe, the long parade depicting the
history of inland transportation in
America passed in review for the last
time Saturday afternoon. This atten-
dance brought the total for twenty
two days of the fair to over 100000.
The record of automobiles that have
visited the exhibition totals more than
100000.
The final performance of the Pag-
cant Saturday was concluded with the
singing of "Auld Lang Syne" by the
audience, following the usual rendition
of America"
A visitor with a life span equal to
that of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road attended the fair Friday. He is
John L. Skinner, former employee of
the railroad, who was born August 8,
1927. Mr.. Skinner helped to lay the
first double tracks between Baltimore
and Washington back in 1862.
Peggy and James Towne, great
grandchildren of Phineas Davis, fam
GUS builder of locomotives, were also
present at the fair. Davis built the
original "York," which won first prize
in the locomotive competitive trials
sponsored by the Baltimore and Ohio
in 1881.

MONTANA'S FARM POPULATION
SHOWS GAIN

In contrast to that of the country as whole,
the farm population of Montana has not declined
in the last two years.
There are now about 1000 more farms in the
state than there were in 1925, when the last
federal farm census was taken, according to the
publicity division of the state department of agri
culture, labor and industry. The census gave
46,9O4 as the number of Montana farms at that
time, with total farm population of 182,885
people. The 1000 additional farms bring the
states farm population to about $4,000.
A decrease of 649,OOO persons in the farm
population of the United States during the last
year. the largest decrease in any year since 1920,
has been reported by the federal department of
agriculture. The estimate of the department was
that 27,892000 persons were living on farms on
January l. 1927, as compared with 28,451, 900 on
January l, 1926
According to estimates Of the publicity division,
Big Horn county registered the greatest popula-
tion increase in this state in the period from 1920
to 1925, jumping from 7,105 to $500. This data
tallies with the 1925 farm census figures, which
show that in 1920 there were 791 farms. and in
1925, 1850, an increase of 469. This indicates
a gain in farm population of approximately 1900.
The counties which show an increase in the
number of farms were Big Horn, Lincoln, Mineral,
Roosevelt, Sanders and Reaverhead.

HOW LONG CAN 1T LAST

Farmers and business men of the United States
are confronted with staggering burden of local
taxation, administered too frequently under an
unsound system which makes it easy to get into
debt and difficult to control expenditures Fig
ures recently prepared show that we are spend
ing for taxes annually sum equal to half of
our savings banks deposits. Taxes cost us an
amount greater than the value of all crops raised
on our 6,5OOO0O farms using 34O,OOO,OOO acres
of land.
Our annual wheat crop, the largest in the world,
if turned over to our state governments would
just about meet their requirements for ene year.
While we are the largest producers of foodstuffs
and cotton in the world, the value of both crops,
if turned over to the local subdivisions of the
states-cities, towns, counties and townships
would not meet their expenditures for last year.
We lead all nations in industrial production,
but the net income of all manufacturing corpor-
ations in the country is not equal to the combined
expenditures of state and local governments
Neither would all the money in circulation in the
United States pay their bills for 1926.

A BANKERS VIEW

Occasionally we hear the charge that many of
the great international bankers are favorable to
the policy of cancelling the European war debts,
in order to make more fertile the field for private
American loans abroad. There is, therefore, great
satisfaction in knowing that there are at least
some wellknown bankers who do not favor the
program Among them is David R. Forgan, the
Chicago banker who has reputation that is more
than national in it's scope.
Recently in an address before the Iowa Bank
ers' association, Mr.. Forgan was greeted with ap-
plause when he attacked the cancellation idea and
declared that cancellation is next door to repudi-
ation'
Cancellation is not a matter of wiping the
slate clean," he said "It is a question of who is
going to pay.
eff the Allies do not, then it is up to you and
to me and to the other taxpayers of this country,
for Uncle Sam is most certainly not going to re-
pudiate his Liberty bonds"
For their own good, Mr.. Forgan averred the
debtor nations must not be permitted to evade
their debts to the United States
1--WE may live to see that day." he added, when
France again will be in the market for huge loans
to save herself. If she demands cancellation OF
her present debts, where would her credit be wher
she tried to negotiate future loans?'

A LESSON FROM PRESIDENT CLEVELAND
Dubuque Telegram-Herald


In these days when the public consciousness is
troubled with problems of flood control and re-
forestation, it is a fortunate circumstance that
takes President Coolidge to the Black Hills, where
he can look about him in almost any direction and
obtain the best, kind of evidence proving that
scientific forest management, which should be
carried on to a much greater extent, pays divi-
dends
President Cleveland, in his day, was responsible
for the creation of the 100000 and more acres
of national forest in the Black Hills The creation
nearly caused his impeachment, but every one of
the yellow pines in the area today is a monument
to his farsightedness.
Soon after the government took over the area,
the first scientifically managed lumber sale was
conducted under the United States foresters.
Today, all this land that was then cut over is
almost ready for another sale of timber 1t is
this principle of repeated crops that the forests
are administered. They will thus always be per-
petual reservoirs of timber products
Immediate farm relief, which the president will
tackle with Middle West farm leaders, is a pres,
sing problem, beyond all doubt; but also of great
Importance for the future is wise forest con
servation.

for the speech which he delivered in
Denver before the International Ad-
vertising association in which he de-
clared that we had work enough at
home in the United States without
attempting to run Europe. The SEN
ator has not promulgated a new
thought, but credit belongs to him
for the emphasis he placed on it, and
for again centering the attention of
the American people as a whole on
situation which because of high Euro
pean interest rates and bankers
profits they have been prone to ig-
more.
William M. Butler, chairman of the
Republican National committee, was
the first to sound this note of warn
ing. Two years ago in a public ad-
dress he declared that while we were
anxious to help Europe and should as
sist IN any way possible in the moral
3 rehabilitation of foreign nations, that
if a decision had to be made as to
whether European or American work
men should walk the streets in idle
, ness that he for one, must still hold
that our people had the first call
upon our resources and efforts.

Washington, D. C.-The. present
wastage Of oil which is going on
through multiplied competitive drill
ings is not only an economic crime,
but also a crime against the people
of the United States as a whole. 1t
is immaterial whether the potential
oil resources Of the country are equal
to the demands for 10 or Is years.
Biologists and experts are in constant
controversy over this point, but all
are agreed that at the best, no mat
ter how large it may be, we have only
a limited supply of oil and that its
final exhaustion is as inevitable as
day.
The federal government, through
its control of oil leases and similar
mechanics, can of course curb in part
the wasteful pumping of oil to the
surface in excess of actual demands
where it becomes subject to the loss
by evaporation and destruction by
fire and lightning. But the gov
ernment has no power to restrain
drillers who, despite present condi-
tions, are still insistent on their
rights to drill and pump. 1t is about
time that the big men in the oil busi-
ness-and no industry can show men

judgment characterizes what Mr.. Forgan has said.
There is, of course, no immediate danger that a
program of cancellation will be adopted, but the
internatonalsts are constantly at work, both here
and in Europe, and it is good to have a financier
of Mr. Forgan's standing occasionally direct at
tention to the falaces of the nternationalist pro-
gram.

Washington, D. c. - Gossip in
Washington has it that for all the
friendly greetings which the Presi
dent is receiving in South Dakota,
the McNary-Haugen people are still
planning a renewal Of the campaign
for that measure at the December
opening of congress. Quarters have
been engaged in Washington and
machine is being set up. There is
even a whisper that the fight will be
made TO matter what Senator Nc
Nary himself may elect to do. In
this connection, of course, it will be
remembered that McNary, before
leaving for Oregon, had a lengthy
conference with the president and in
timated at least that he was going to
spend his summer working on the
measure, the implication being that
he intended to modify it in some way
so as to meet the presidential objec-
tions.
1t would be a curious political twist
! if after the author of the bill had de-
cided on certain specific changes, the
machinists who handled the thing in
Washington should decide to flout
him and continue on bill for which
he was offering a substitute. The
whisper is also current in Washing
ton that the big farmers cooperative
organizations have intimated that
they have no desire to appear in the
McNary-Haugen picture. They argue
that easy credits for the farmers have
helped to create part of the present
confusion. Their vision apparently is
that relief for the farmers can be
better secured by plOdding walks
through plOwed fields than by flivvel
excursions to the town banks.

worthy of encouragement, providing
they are seeking advice. If they are
entertaining the thought of asking
Uncle Sam to use the big stick for
the purpose of adjusting what should
be trade problem, their activities
be at once discouraged. Too often it
happens that big business which,
when prosperous, grows red in the
face over the prospect of government
tai interference, once the tide shows
signs of turning, is the first to in
woke the same governmental interfer-
ence which it has previously tiraded
against.

LITTLE ACCIDENTS OR
BIG CATASTROPHIES

What we are going to do about
the innumerable little, irritating
accidents which tear the children's
clothes and bruise their tender
flesh or work disaster to the en-
tire household, in one or more of
the many other ways? Is it really
a momentous occasion when a
clean table cloth gets suddenly
soiled, the floor spotted, or the
stockings torn? Those things are
merely little pinpricks of every
day life to the wise mother who
keeps the right perspective. The
principal care should be to avoid
making them seem such terrible
catastrophies that they upset the
household and do serious harm to
the child nature.
"Oh dear, Mamma, see what I've
DONE" The little girls eyes were
scared and teary, her face white,
as she came into the kitchen hold
ing onto her bleeding knee and
soiled, torn stocking.
"I can fix that right up" said
her mother setting about it cheer
fully. "Of course, it is too bad it
happened, but we won't worry over
it. I know you are as careful as
you can be Of your clothes SO as
to help mother.
81 remember when brother was q
little boy I sat mending his stock
ing one day, and / said, 4 wonder
how you get so many little holes
in your stockings Well, you see,'
brother explained, when play,
my legs fly out in all directions
and catch on things and tear
guess you must be like brother"
ended mother, with a smile.
20 mamma, you're so nice to
me" said the little girl with a
! grateful hug. "I don't mind the
bump on my knee, but l was so
afraid you would scold about the
hole in my stocking"
This child was of the sensitive
type to whom a scolding beats on
the ear like blows on the heart.
A gentle word of caution. soothing
kindness for the bruise, and swift
mending of the stocking soon de-
stroyed all the trouble, and a low
ing, happy child went out to play,
knowing that she need not be a
fraid to tell her mother anything.
A girl just entering her teens
was staying with an aunt one
summer, and in carrying pitcher
across the floor she dropped it and
it broke. To the aunt's amazement
the girls clasped her hands tightly
and cried piteously, ooh! don't hit
me, I didn't mean to do it,
"What do you mean! Of course
wouldn't hit you-especially for
an accident" assured the aunt.

this way: The makers of one pop

by the automobile chamber of
commerce and the different car
builders were credited with ex-

returns, made it an unbreakable
rule that no new car be delivered
until new license is obtained. The
result is a full report for sales of
this particular car. Now the COM

to require new licenses and the

an impation exclamation and a
bit of regret, little notice is taken
of it. Why then should children's
minds be impressed with the un-

such an attitude makes them more

to further accidents. 1t is so much
