The Young Visitors.

Washington is invaded. Thousands
of young Americans, from all parts of
the country, are swarming its streets.
its public buildings, it's parks. The
Spring attack upon the Capital is in
full headway. in greater force than
ever. And Washington does not resist
the onset, but welcomes it, receives its
assailants with warm hospitality and
shows them its best. 1t has had this
experience many times and rejoices at
the annual increase in numbers whom
it is called upon TO receive.
It has come to be a practice in many
cities, large and small, to offer "trip
to Washington" to students of high
schools and other institutions Of learn
ing as a reward for faithful work
The Easter holiday period is usually
chosen for this purpose. And so when
the Spring comes and the trees are
budding, the young people come in
great numbers. They see the city,
perhaps not quite at its best. but in
=
they see the cherry blossoms, while
The foliage in the parks is still in its
first showing. But whether the wealth
er is good or bad, whether the parks
are in full leaf or not, these thousands
OF young Americans see Washington,
the city Of greatest import to all the
people of this country.
A visit to Washington is a reward
of worth, for it couples instruction
with pleasure. It affords an object
lesson in government, in practical citi-
zenship. 1t visualizes to the young
minds OF America the actual proc
esses of national administration. In
the "odd numbered years, when Con-
gress is in recess, there is lacking
the spectacle of lawmaking - or de-
bate, as the case may be-and the
picture is not quite complete. But the
city is here at all times, significant
and real and inspiring
There is no other place in the
United States where the young folks
can gain so much on visit as Wash
ington. It is not only the physical
beauty Of the city that gives them
pleasure, but the significance of all
they see that awakens their perception
OF government of, for and by the peo-
pie of the country.
These young Americans still under
instruction in the schools will in
very few years be voters. They will
be taking their part in business, in
the professions, in industrial activities,
in the management of homes. They
will be fully qualified citizens. And
they will be the better citizens for
having seen Washington, the city of
their ideals of Americanism, the high
est expression of American democracy
save for the fact that it's own residents
are denied the essential fundamental
right of participation in lawmaking
And the hope of Washington is that
these young visitors will all return to
their homes aware of that lack, that
inconsistency here, and prepared when
opportunity comes to do their part to
remedy this condition.

t1ons between the two countries frankly
before the people as the business goes
on. That would leave no cloud to

schemers in our own country or in

concludes: ''It would

that have as their aim the embroiling
of this country in open conflict with
Mexico. 1t Is impossible to

MONTANA power
CREATES District

With the idea of bettering its al
ready efficient service to the public,
the Montana Power company has Gre
ated a new district, of which Boze-
man is headquarters, to include Bel
grade, Manhattan, Amsterdam, Lo-
gan, Willow Creek, Three Forks,
Townsend and Radersburg and con-
tiguous territory.
Formerly all Of the towns named
were in the Butte district, and at
times difficulty was. encountered, es-
peciallv In bad weather, in sending
men to several of the points. Now
activities for the communities named
will center in Bozeman, with branch
managers in charge of sub-districts co
facilitate the work.
Thus the Montana Powers Boze-
man office is raised from the status
of branch to district headquarters
and w. H. Reif becomes district man
ager, with G.. d. MCGOWAN of the 10.
cal, force as district cashier. The
change became effective Nav 1.
One Of the sub-districts is in charge
of William Fitzstephens Of Belgrade
and includes that town, Manhattan
and Amsterdam. B. G.. Schneider Oh
Three Forks heads the district com.
posed of that city, Logan AMI Willow

CROP REPORT IS
VERY OPTIMISTIC
Favorable Weather Spec d S
Planting and Yield Prospects
Are Excellent

Excellent growing weather charac-
terized the week ending April 30,
which saw field work in full blast in
all parts of the state, according to
the crop report issued by the publicity
division of the state department Of
agriculture. Light showers were re-
ported in Blaine, Rosebud, Madison,
FallOn, Gallatin, Phillips, and a trace
of rain in Fergus and Daniels. Soils
are now reported in excellent condi-
tion for seeding in all parts of the
state.
Fergus county finds very little
killing of winter wheat and the crop
is reported in good condition in Sher-
idan, Rosebud. Yellowstone, and Gal
latin. Richland and Fallon report
considerable Of the acreage of winter
wheat killed. The amount involved,
however, in Richland county is only
about $4,000 acres.
Spring wheat seeding is progress
sing rapidly in all counties reporting.
It is reported about 25 per cent COM
plete in Teton, go per cent in Rich
land, and nearly through in the
southern part of Sheridan. Special
crops luCluUlug D6eLS, SOnle COIu
beans and peas are now going In
wherever soils are ready for plant
ing. The principal delay has been in
the irrigated sections of the Gallatir
where work to date has been confined
largely to preparation of the seed
bed. POndera, Phillips, and Richland
report considerable increase in sweet
clover planting.
With the rapid start of grass the
threatened feed shortage has beer
greatly relieved in all parts of the
state where supplies were reported
running short a week or 10 days ago
With normal weather stock will fin
ish out the spring feeding season ir
good shape. Recent weather has beer
very favorable for lamb and call
crops. Reports on the lambing per
centage, while not averaging as higl
a figure as that reported a year age
do not, on the other hand, indicate
any serious losses.
The slight seasonal increase in the
demand for farm labor is meeting
mostly with an adequate supply. A
few counties report a surplus of la
Dor.
