RULES OF ORDER

There is noted lack of the knowl-
edge of parliamentary law among the
average officers of Labor Unions. To
men who are educated in parliamen-
tary law, it. is painful--actually en-
barassingAto watch men presiding at
meeting who do not know how to
puva simple and plain proposition be-
fore the meeting.
Some Chairmen do not know enough
to recognize man who takes the floor
to address the meeting, and there are
but few who know that they have no
right to start their talk until the pre-
siding officer announces that they have
the floor. They jump right up and
babble away, paying no attention to
rules of order or even the Chairman,
when he calls them to order. We have
seen men who had to be silenced by
forcing them out of the hall. Men?
Pardon the slip. We are accustomed
to calling all of the male species

may be titled such as Duke, Lord, etc,
but such titles do not make nah of
him, if Nature slipped a cog in build
ing the human machine.
Nature does things in the rough.
Education smooths off the rough edges
of man and polishes him up. No
one can really tell by mans appear
ance how refined and gentlemanly he
may be, but as soon as he talks, in
meeting or out of it, the mystery is
Immediately cleared up one way or the
other.
Parliamentary law is not hard to
learn, but like anything else that we
tice. To get practice, club could be
know in theory, only no one is as pro-
ficient in the art as he who has prac-
formed for that purpose alone, but if
the club wished to improve their style
of speaking and their ability as de-
bators, questions could be selected at
one meeting for discussion at the next
CHAIRMAN who knows his busi-
ness takes no part in debating a ques-
tion while he is in the chair. If he
does so, he is violating the rules of
order. He may answer a question
without leaving the chair. All read
ing should be done by the secretary
or Reading Clerk. All motions and
resolutions should be fully explained
by the chairman, or he may call on
the mover of them to do so before the
vote is taken. Some chairmen put one
question against the other by not call
ing for a negative vote How they
do it is "All in favor of the motion
say aye" In this way putting it,
the meeting is compelled to adopt one
or the other.

GOOD TIMBER.

The tree that never had to fight
For sun and air and sky and light;
That stood out in the open plain,
And always got its share of rain,
Never became a forest king,
But lived and died scrubby thing.
The man who never has to toll,
Who never had to win his share
Of sun and sky and light and air,
Never became manly man,
But lived and died as he began.
Good timber does not grow in ease;
The stronger wind, the tougher trees;
The farther sky, the tougher length;
The more the storm, the more the
strength.
By sun and cold, by rain and SHOWS,
In tree or man good timber grows.
Where thickest stands the forest
growth,
We find partriarchs of both,
And they hold converse with the stars
Whose broken branches show the
scars
Of many winds and much of strife
This is the common law of life.
Anon.

THE UN-AMERICAN
open SHOP

Ii those chambers of commerce and
corporation heads that ardently es-
pouse the so-called open shop were
confronted with the idea that busi-
ness men ought to be compelled to
go it alone, and that they ought to be
denied the right to form firms, corpor-
ations or trade groups, the idea would
be rejected with great scorn.
Yet that is what they ask of labor.
They want workingmen to deal with
employers singly, not in groups. Each
worker under their system, takes his
chances, and gets a raw deal, because
he does not have the advantages or
the backing of numbers.
The same situation would exist in
the business world if each store, each
factory, each bank, each industry of
any sort, consisted of one person only,
no firms, corporations, chambers of
commerce and other trade organiza-
tions being allowed Let the captain
of industry or the international bank
er ask himself how he would fare if
compelled to do business under those
circumstances, and he will acquire a
notion avs to the situation in which a
workingman finds himself when he has
to go.it alone.
These men insist upon forming
great corporations and trusts. They
have their chambers of commerce in
which all branches of industry come
together to look after their mutual

BURGLARS BUSY
IN VALLEY TOWN

Another evidence of the epidemic of
crime that is prevalent in Gallatin
county was noted early Tuesday morn
ing when burglars broke into and
looted two Belgrade business estab-
lishments, escaping with quantity of
booty.
Porter's drug store was the heavi-
est loser, watches, jewelry, fountain
pens and a small sum in cash being
stolen. The thieves then raided the
Heck grocery store, opened the safe
and obtained some small change. En-
trance to the Porter store was effected
by cutting through the casing of the
front door. At Heck's a pass key was
used.
AS soon as the burgiaries were dis
covered they were reported to the
sheriff's office, which began the usual
investigation. So far it has had the
usual result.

2 NEGROES JAILED
ON ROBBERY CHARGE

Charged with robbery, Marian Mey-

are held in the county Jail pending
action by the district, court. They
were arrested Monday night by Mar
shall Tom Wheeler at Three Forks
upon complaint of three farm laborers
from Manhattan, who reported they
had been robbed of between $65 and
$40 by some negroes at a house on
the outskirts of that place.
Investigation of the alleged robbery
lead to the raiding of the house and
further arrests. Tom Brooks and
Freda Fields, both negroes, were
taken into custody on charge of aper-
ating disorderly house and in Judge
AxtelPs court Wednesday were found
guilty of a misdemeanor and fined
$25 each. A. J. Williams, white, was
accused of having disturbed the peace
and paid penalty of $5.

MONTANA wheat
Brings premium
High Protein Content Partly
Offsets Downward Price
Trend-YieId Is Good

The downward trend of the wheat
market will be at least partly offset
for many farmers of Montana because
of high premiums for proteiB, accord
ing to present indications. Reports
from other parts Of the United States
show that @wheat is running low in
protein, a situation which is decidedly
to the advantage Of producers Of high
quality wheat in Montana.
The protein content of MOntana's
wheat is IN doubt because of the COM
parativeiy few tests made due to the
late season. Reports from the Mon
tana grain inspection laboratory at
BOzeman indicate that hard red vim
ter wheat IN the state Is low In pro-
tein. The testing Of 245 samples Of
this wheat show an average Of 1925
per cent protein with a high of 1897
per cent and a low of 7.90 per cent.
Spring wheat ordinarily runs con-
siderably higher in protein than win
ter wheat and it appears that the
spread between the two will be great
er than usual. The samples Of spring
wheat received at the laboratory
early In the season were considerably
lower IN protein than last year but
as the season advances protein con
tent is increasing, indicating that this
grain will run very close if not equal
Co the IA per cent average of 1926.
The 1877 samples of sprinp wheat test
ed at the Bozeman laboratory up to
September Is had an average of 1888
per cent. The highest sample had a
protein content of 1850 per cent and
the lowest, 1J.05 per. cent.
On the whole the season has been
most successful from q production
standpoint but there have been sore
drawbacks. Much grain has been cut
on the green side, particularly ia
southern mountain valleys. resulting
in considerable shrinkage and low
quality. In these valleys smut has
been unusually severe, also resulting
in reduced quality and lower prices.
In other sections grain has been dam
aged in the shock from excessive
moisture and rust caused some loss
IN northeastern counties.

Burr CLARK dies
RESULT ACCIDENT

ports received in Bozeman late Thurs

No details Of the tragic affair were

it was learned that the body had been
taken to that place. A local forest
official stated that it probably would
be brought to Bozeman for funeral
services Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Clark came to this city March
1, 1920, from Choteau, where he had
been in charge of the Lewis and CLARK

ferred to Helena. He was a past ex
alted ruler of the local lodge of Elks
and had been active in civic, socia
and fraternal affairs. Widely known
in this section, he had hundreds Ot
warm friends who will 0rieve deeply
to learn of his untimely passing.
Mr.. Clark and his family moved Il
! the Capital city about~the 25th o.
last month. Besides his wife he is
I survived by a son and a daughter.
