OUR STREET

Grace Dunn, in Princeton Union
Sinclair Lewis placed our Main Street and the
Main Street of every village and small city in Min
nesota before the English-speaking people in the
worst possible light. Many of US who have lived in
the Minnesota villages turned away from that novel
in disgust.
But there is another Street in our village as
there is in hundreds of other villages in Minnesota
that is just as beautiful as Sinclair Lewis Main
Street was ugly. 1t is Street that is cherished in
the hearts Of thousands of capable intelligent, and
even brilliant men and women in this country. 1t
is the Street from which men and women have gone
to fill high places in the affairs of the nation. be-
cause on this Street is found that which makes
America great. And it is to this Street that to-
day thousands of men and women are turning COM
ing back from the larger Cities to join the family
Thanksgiving circle.
Few residents of this community know the
name of the Street of which we write, but no one
bothers about the name, it can be located by the
school and churches on it.
AI one end of this Street stands the white
church with the slender spire bearing the cross 1t
is the same spire and cross that the traveller has
SO frequently the outskirts of civilization
In winter the with all it's brilliant coorng rises
ever the spire of this church, and in summer the full
moon hangs over it flooding the village with its
mellow light

little farther down this Street is the large,
well equipped school to which every family in this
community sends its children We have no private
schools here; we believe in our children rubbing ell
bows with their neighbors and learning the prin-
ciples of democracy in one Of Americas pubic
schools.
block father down the Street stands the
hospital where hundreds Of men and women sick
in body have gone to receive treatment from
skilled physicians and have come out with restored
health to continue on their journey.
At the north end of the Street stand two
more churches with their hospitabe doors always
open to anyone who may seek to worship there.
"a But it is not the school, the hospital, nor even
the churches that make this Street really great; it
is the homes that are it that enshrines it in the
hearts of men, and it is to those homes and the
atmosphere that they maintain that the people OF
America are turning back today.
The members of the household in everyone of
those homes labor they live by the fruits of their
own industry. They are not vainly hunting pleas
ure, because they have found pleasure in honest
toll. The children who are sent out from those
homes know how to work ahd are taught to respect
only those who do employ themselves at some use
full labor.
And contrary to the picture drawn by Sinclair
Lewis, this Street from the viewpoint Of external
appearance is not ugly, but beautiful. The homes
and lawns are we'll kept, and in the summer flowers
bloom in profuson on every lawn making it a gar
den spot The Street itself is lined with elms and
naples that can assume the most gorgeous dress at
various seasons of the year. These winter mornings
they furnish bit of fairyland with every branch
cleaning with thousand crystals In the summer
the trees form a soft green arch over our Street,
and in the early fall days, as by touch of magic,
they will be turned to pure gold The birds sing in
the trees while the children and dogs romp ller-
meath them.
Today we give thanks for that Street and those
who have the welfare of the United States at heart
no matter where they may reside, should also give
thanks for it is that Street that is keeping the heart
of this great nation pure and strong.

For years Hibbing has been the scene of a most
bitter newspaper which has been expensive to
the publishers and the public. Reason has prevailed
and consolidation has been effected between the
Hibbing Tribune and the Daily News The merged
publication will be continued by R. w. Hitchcock of
the Tribune. The Atkinsons will embark in bust
ness elsewhere in the State. "Dad" Atkinson began
the publication of the Messaba Ore % years ago,
and with his son Marc established the Daily News

WOMEN ENTER NEWSPAPER FIELD
SUCCESSFULLY

The women of Bemidji have changed their no.
ton relative to the publication of newspaper.
The Bemidji Daily Pioneer was turned over to
the Club women of the city for day and they
issued the Daily Pioneer Saturday, Nov. 26. Like
many folks, the Club women were apparently of
the opinion that about all that was required to
publish newspaper was 'simple twist of the
wrist" that advertising or news copy would DE
handled without effort up to the very minute al
most, of going to press.
Miss Mabel Rice, managing editor of the Club
edition, said among other things in her editorial an
nouncement:
1t has been great sport. We have learned
much. Never again will we call in at / 80 to
ask the city editor to put club notice on the
front page. Never again will we call to COM
plain that name was omitted from pro-
gram published the previous day. Nor will we
ever again ask the city editor to write up an
article from few scratchy lead pencil notes
In this brief time we have had our trials
knocks, and complaints. We have seen bit of
the hundred and one factions, thousand and
one individuals a newspaper must endeavor
to please. We realize that this is all just
part of the daily routine and ritual of the
newspapernan. And so next Monday morn
ing we return to our own tasks and profess
sions with profound respect for the people
who are in the organized business of present
ing the news to the public.
There is much food for thought for the aver
age business and laymen in the conclusions ar
rived at by Miss Rice, as the conditions she de-
scribed are to be found every day week in every
printshop in the land. 49, - -~~ -

NATURAL GAS IS
SERVING MANY
SIXTEEN MONTANA CITIES SOON WILL
BE USING THIS RESOURCE FROM
OIL FIELDS
With Completion Of Pipe Lines Into Three
More Cities, 20 Per Cent of Montana's
People VIII Be Listed as Customers,
Says State Publicity Division

Withthe completion of pipe lines to
three more Montana cities almost 20
per cent of the states citizens will be
served with natural gas used princi-
pally for heating and cooking, accord
ing to the state publicity division.
Great Falls will soon be supplied
through a 106-mile line now being laid
from the southern end of the Kelvin
Sunburst field. Miles City recently cele-
brated the completion of the 70-mile line
from the Cabin creek field near Baker
and Terry will now enjoy the privileges
Of natural gas from the Glendive-Baker
district, the three cities adding about
$4,000 to the number of Montana people
served by natural gas.
so Per Cent Saving
Natural gas has proved itself in more
than a dozen Montana cities to effect a
saving Of over so per cent when Com-
pared with the artificial. The heat value
OF the natural product is nearly twice
that of the artificial, and when con-
sidered In connection with prices shows
plainly the great value of natural gas
to any community fortunate enough to
secure 1T. Artificial gas ha sa heat value
OF about 500 b. t. u. per cubic foot, the
heat value of the natural being nearly
twice that figure.
The Montana cities and more than Ia
North Dakota cities are now served with
gas from Montana fields. Three Montana
cities are served from the Elk basin dis
trict in northern Wyoming.
Four State Districts
The oil n gas division of the public
service commission divides Montana gas
fields which now supply commercial gas
to cities into four districts: The Kelvin
Sunburst district now supplying Shelby
Oilmont. Sunburst and Kelvin, and which
Will 500 supply Great Falls; the Havre-
Chinook district supplying the cities OF
Havre n Chinook; the Cat Greek dis
trict supplying Winnett and Cat Creek;
the Baker-Glendive district supplying
Glendive, Baker. Miles City, Terry and
cities in North Dakota. Billings, Bridger
and Laurel are served by. the Elk basin
structure. There are many other localities
In Montana where more or less gas has
been struck while drilling for oil.

SUPREME WHEAT
LEADS IN FERGUS
(From Montana State College)

ROM the reports of Fergus county
farmers who took part In the crops
meeting held at Lewistown recently.
the new Supreme spring wheat will
add more than 700. 900 bushels to the an
nual wheat crop of tho county. This
figure is arrived at by applying the in
creased yields obtained from Supreme
wheat during the past season to the en-
tire spring wheat acreage Of the county.
As a result Of tests made in other years
mt the practical farm results obtained
during the past season. it is probable
that the new wheat will entirely replace
Marquis within a short time.
AS a start toward making Supreme the
leading spring wheat in the county there
were more than TAO acres of registered
and approved Supreme wheat seed pro-
duced in the county this year. practically
all OF which will remain In the county
to be used for planting the commercial
acreage next spring. In addition there
were nearly 1.400 acres Of non-registered
or non-approved seed Of this variety
grown. q large part OF which also will
be used for seed purposes.
d. B. Noble. county agricultural agent
for Fergus county. explains the signifi-
canoe OF the new wheat by pointing
out that II all spring wheat growers in
the county had seeded pure Supreme
seed last spring the added yields result
ing would have brought more than $780,
900 more to the farmers than was OBJ
tanned.
1t would appear. says Mr.. Noble, that
the days Of the supremacy of Marquis
wheat as the leading spring wheat va
riety are numbered. He believes that
four extra bushels per acre on the 100. O0(
acres devoted to the production of spring
wheat is an important enough factor tc
bring about a rapid change in the wheat
growing program. The further fact thai
