NEW YORK, Jan. ] tP-Conserya-
tive optimism is the keynote Of
business forecasts for 1927 of the
nations leading Bankers and business
men.
With two Successive years Of un-
usual prosperity just drawing to a
close, and ssock and bond prices
around the highest levels ever re-
corded, it is natural that predictions
for the future should be attended
with an UNUSUAL degree of caution,
particularlySbyS those committed to the
cycle theory of business. While a
number of executives indicate that
a slowing dowp in general business is
likely. fundamental conditions gener-
ally are regArded as sound and no
serious depression is looked for in
any responsible quarter
Some concern is expressed over the
huge volume of securities owned by
banks, over the low price of com-
modities, particularly cotton, and its
possible effect 4on The country5s pur-
chasing power, over the growth of
installment buying and over the APP
parent declines in building construc-
ton However the ordinary har-
bingers of business depression such
as inflated prices, high inventories
and over expanded credit are absent.
The views of some Of the national
recognized spokesmen for banking
and business follow:

Sketch Tells How
ARMY Captain Used
Fieldpiece ON Bison

How an army captain stationed at q
trading post which later became old Fort
Laramie killed buffalo with a field piece
in the late SOS, is related by James M.
SherrOd in a sketch of his life just pub
lished by the Wyoming historical depart
ment.
Mr.. SherrOd was employed by the Ameri-
can Fur company at the time.
Just after we reached the trading post,
afterward Fort Laramie he related, IAN
immense herd Of buffalo drifted across the
country right by the post. The soldiers
were all away after Indians, two or three
massacres having been reported, except a
company Of artillery left behind as a
guard.
when the buffalo appeared the captain
sent some Of his men out to kill some
meat, but they were not experts at the
task and were letting all the buffalo get
away. At this, the captain became angry
and ordered others Of his men to bring
him out a field piece.
They brought a f~ve-pOunder, which he
loaded with grape and canister. He
trained the gun himself on the herd and
blazed away, killing 80 buffalo at one shot.
never saw in all M life such a slaughter
ing"
Mr.. Sherrod died at Baggs, WyO., in
1919 at the age Of 104, according to the
historical departments record.

NORTHDAKOTAT TO
ASSIST MONTANA
FLOOD OF TOURISTS PROMISED
BY SECRETARY OF
G. n. ID. A.
Will Aid in Diverting the 100000
Cars of Tourists Which Annually
Cross North Dakota; COnfers With
A. j. B~reitenstein; Outlines Plan

North Dakota, through it's Greater
North Dakota association, is prepared to
aid in diverting the 100000 cars Of tour
lists which annually cross that state, into
Montana, according to James S. MillOy,
executive secretary Of the association,
who was in Montana recently to confer
with A. j. Breitenstein and other Off
Gals of the Montana Automobile assOcia-
ton. The purpose of Mr.. MilIOy's visit
was to establish closer reciprocal rela-
lions between the two states.
The association which Mr.. MillOy repre-
sents has a threefOld purpose. 1t functions
as a state development league; it has an
automobile department and a tourist de-
partment. The association has an annual
working fund of $S5.000, Mr.. MillOy said
and is beginning its third year with a sue
cessful record.
"Our state was much gratifed," Mr.. Mil
10y said, ito learn that Montana has
adopted a constructive road program. Auto
travel from other states is very heavy in
North Dakota during the tourist season
We estimate that about 100000 cars passed
through the state last year. Fully 80 pei
cent of them we're headed west. We fee
sure that with good roads in your state s
large majority can be influenced to pro
coed westward through Montana"
Mr.. MillOy expressed himself warmly re
garding the value of the Montana AutOmO
bile association which, through it's A. A. A
utilization, he said, is in a position to rem
der splendid service to the motor publii
and likewis to the state.

OUR WOMEN--The Camp Fire
Girls--Their Aims and What Such
Organizations Are Accomplishing
(Bv MIS-. NJ. D. PLAssMANN)

~
TN this column, an attempt has
been made to acquaint the public
Il with the aims and work of the
Girl Scouts. There is another or
g%anizatiOn for girls, which has a
large and rapidly increasing mem
bership, that is called the Camp
Fire Girls" There seems to be con-
siderable similarity between the two
organizations, and both have in view
the making of noble women, strong
physically, and mentally we'll en-
lowed. The Girl Scouts is, in effect,
an international body, having affilia-
ton with the Girl Guards, which was
British in its inception, and is part of
the World Scouting movement for
young people, inaugurated by Sir
Robert Baden-Powell. Miss Juliette
Lowe, of Savannah, Ca, was the or
ganizer of the Girl Scouts, which
claims not to be of a military charac-
ter, but wears a khaki dress, and goes
through some forms of military drill,
On the other hand, there is nothing Of
a military nature about the Camp Fire
Girls. Their object is given IN the Law
of the Camp Fire. 1t is to
Seek beauty
Give service
Pursue knowledge
Be trustworthy
Hold on to health
GlOrify work
Be happy.

Rosebud clips Sold

Continued activity in wool buying in
Rosebud county has resulted in virtually
all the large clips Of central Rosebud cOun-
ty being contracted for within the last 10
days, at prices ranging from 80 to 35 cents.
A good weight per fleece is expected as the
wool has made a good growth this winter
and there has been no break in the staple
on account Of severe weather or lack Of
feed. There are still a number OF large
clips In the northern part Of the county
that have not been contracted for. During
the winter, many sheepmen in the county
have fed cOttOnseed cake as a supplement-
airy ration to pasture, instead Of purchas-
ing hay or other feed. The sheepmen say
they favor she cOttOnseed cake on account
Of its c0mpactness, for it is easier hauled
the more bulky ratiOns.
