PHILIP D. ARMOUR

In view of the recent death of J. Og-,
den Armour, president OF the great Ar
mour Packing Company, the following
letter from our old friend and co-Worker
Rev. Duncan {. Miner, is of more than
passing interest
DR.. Miner was Tor years the pastor of
the famous Armour Mission founded by
Philip d. Amour, who was also the
founder of the great house OF Armour
& Company.
Mr. Armour took a keen interest in
Sunday school work for the neglected
children of the city, managed and fnanc-
ed the celebrated Armour Mission and
also founded the great Armour Institute
which was the first of the trade schools
in the city of Chicago.
DR.. Miners letter follows:
No one would think of Philip D. Ar
mour, the founder of Armour & CO., as
a temperance reformcr. AS pastor of the
Armour Mission in its great days l learn
ed some things that showed his interest in
the liquor question.
He was not total abstainer, but dur
ing his later years his only drinking as
he told me, was glass of champagne at
the monthly dinner of the Merchants
Club He abhorred drunkenness and was
quite disturbed to find a drunken en-
ploye. He paid the expenses of more
men to the Kelley Cure than any other
person.
I gave the pledge of total abstinence
to the members of the Armour Mission
Sunday School with his approval. We had
three companies of the Boys Brigade
finely organized and the pledge of total
abstinence was required. A number of
the members of the Brigade made fine
records in the World War.
The Armours purchased soap factory.
Mr.. Armour visited the new place of
business about the middle of the fore
noon. AS he was talking to the Superin-
tendent a number of men went by loaded
with buckets. He said What are those
men carrying" He was told it was their
regular supply of beer Mr.. Armour said
Don't you know there is law of our
firm forbidding liquor to be brought into
our buildings" The Supt said the men
were mostly Germans, and they would
not be willing to give up their beer. Mr..
Armour said: DO you mean to say the
men will not obey the rules of the COM
pany, then close the doors and dismiss
the men" 1t is needless to say the fac
tory was not closed and the beer was
kept out.
Mr.. Armour hated the saloon. He said
to me "some people put on airs over me
as if 1 was a kind of a rough neck but
I'll be - if l ever rented any of my
property for a saloon or house OF i'll re-
pute"
1t was my privilege to see the tender
side OF Mr.. Armour and he gave me large
liberty in spending money to help the
wives of drunken men and help care for
their children The list of his bene6-
cent gifts to people in misfortune was a
very large one.
(Signed) Duncan C. Miner.

FACTIONAL GROWLING

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The real
ground and lofty political tumbling is
now being done entirely in Demo-
cratic committee headquarters. Nine
months before the Democratic con-
vention will be held, the Democracy
of the country as a whole is split into
Smith and anti-Smith factions, ,and
the amount of i'll feeling existing
and daily increasing is the equal of
the highest point of rage which the
Democrats, after 100 ballots, were
able in 1924 to achieve at their Madi-
son Square session.
The situation is indeed discourage
ing from Democratic viewpoint. In
the northern states, the great rank
and file of the party, or that portion
OF 1t which is generally known as the
six o'clock in the morning voters"
is determined to have Smith or no.
body. It's program is either rule or
ruin.
In the financial centers of these
northern cities, however, to whom the
selection Of a president is a business
as well as political function, the de-
termination to deny Smith the nomi-
nation is stronger than ever. In New
York state particularly, the leaders of
the plutocratic Democratic group
land, strange as it may seem, there
are some of those) are working day
and night in the hope of eliminating
Smith and substituting Owen Young.
AS for the South, while it is true
that the Republicans will do well to
view with considerable doubt the pos
sibility of breaking into that area if
Smith is nominated, the plain truth.
Notwithstanding the predictions of
Cole, Blease and other Democratic
leaders, is that the South is anti
Smith, and this sentiment can be
changed by only forced political feel
ing. It is indeed unfortunate that a
great party is thus divided on a relig-
lous issue which our constitution ig-
nores. But facts are facts. Mean
while, McAdoo's great gesture of re-
tirement, which was supposed tt, pave
the way for "me, too," from Al
Smith, has failed disastrously. Smith
is stronger today than before Nc
Adoo's declaration was made.

MONTANA OUTSTRIPS OTHER STATES
NRECOVERY FROM 1920 DEFLATION

No other state has made greater
progress than Montana in readjust-
ments made necessary by the defla-
ton OF 1920, according to the findings
Of farmers and stockmen who made
special study of this matter in prep
aration for agricultural economic con-
ferences throughout the state. The
committees concluded also that the
relatively sound position of Montana's
agriculture today is, in no small
measure, due to the fact that the
state was able to make such rapid adj
justments to meet changed conditions.
A summary of the findings of the
economic conference committee points
out that in Montana, land in farms
decreased approximately 100000
acres between 1920 and 1924, and the
number of farmers decreased from
57,677 to 46,904 during the same
period. These changes have been ac-
companied by a marked increase in
the size of farms. At the same time
farm real estate values declined from
an average of S19 per acre in 1920 to
$1l per acre in 1926. The. percentage
of farms in Montana operated by ten
ants increased from lib in 1920 to
PIG in 1925.
Because of these drastic and rapid
changes Montana's agriculture is in
a comparatively favorable position.
The changes made represent not so
much a retrogression as they do a
tremendous progress in making ad-
Justments to a changed condition.
Even though the number of farms has
decreased and the rural population re.
maIned nearly stationary during the
last six years, the production of crops
and livestock has increased steadily.
MOntana's success in making read
justments, which observers believe
will eventually place the state in the
forefront of important agricultural
states, is ascribed to the readiness
with which farmers and stockmen
have applied the results of expert
ence, Investigations and experiments
This open-mindedness is reflected in
the increase in size nf farm units, de-
velopment of new agricultural enter
prises, increased use of adanted ma.
chinery, and the whole-hearted effort
put into such enterprises as the agri.
cultural economic conferences through
which programs of agricultural de-
velopment are being established.

TURKEY
CONTEST IS On
Local Chevrolet Sales Force Now
Striving to Get in on Turkey
Feed at Billings Nov. z

With the more than $1,000 persons
who make up the selling organization
OF the Chevrolet Motor company in
vOlved, the unique "turkey-bean" con-
test inaugurated by this company a
year ago is again in full swing during
the month of October.
This huge sales organization has
been divided for the duration of the
contest into competitive groups of
which the winners will eat turkey
while the losers will sit and dine only
on beans-and pay the entire dinner
check.
The "turkey-bean" dinner for Mon
tana will be neld November z at Bill
lings, and the local Chevrolet sales
force, under the direction of Mana
ger Dean Chaffin of the Northern
Automobile company, is striving hard
to be on the winning side-they pre-
fer turkey to beans.
Two major divisions of the country
have been made, with an assistant
general sales manager of the Chew
rolet Motor company in charge of
each. D. E. Ralston has the western
half of the United States, and M. d.
Douglas the eastern half.
Each of these sections has been fur
ther sub-divided. The Flint sales
region has been pitted against the
Atlantic Coast region, the Southeas-
tern region against the Middle West
region, and the Great Lakes region
against the Pacific Coast. Every one
OF the 43 zone sales offices in the
United States also has been squared
away aaginst another zone; cities are
competing against cities, as are deal
er organizations and individual sales
men.
In this manner everv man in the
entire selling organization and every
dealer in every section of the country
gets an opportunity to demonstrate

MAY 6 TO IL WILL
BE MUSIC WEEK.

Organizations and individuals that
observe the National Music week are
being asked to enter their calendars
the week of May 6-12, 1928, as the
time of the coming celebration. This
date has just been announced by the
National Music Week committee from
its headquarters at As West 45th
street, New York City. In view of
the fact that the 1927 observance was
held on May 1t, the committee thinks
it we'll to point out that there is no
change in the reriod for the coming
Music week. The festival of music
always begins on the first Sunday in
May which, next year, happens to
fall little later than usual.
Although not all of the local Music
week committees have yet filed their
reports on the last observance, it is
already evident that the 1927 figures

chairman that no such plans were
being considered was shunted to one
side as camouflage.
Then it all came out, just as the
chairman said: Certain Republican
leaders of national Importance, from
New York and other states, gathered
with the chairman; committeeman of
the more adjacent states were called
in; senators in Washington made a
call to pass the time of day; the state
of the party was discussed; corven-
tion plans were discussed; the en-
plOyment of radio, motion pictures
and other campaign methods were
canvassed. In short, just as the
chairman annOupced at the beginning
the informal sesSions-and they were
never any more than that, were de-
voted entirely to organization mat

SHIPS AND FUNDS


WASHINGTON, d. c. Senator
Wesley Jones of Washington is a
sober, serious thinker, but his latest
suggestion that the American treas
ury continue supporting an American
merchant marine is not producing the
exact amount of enthusiasm which he
expected. It may be- that the SEN
ator, whose state is proud of its front
age on salt water, has been carried
away by the tang of the air from the
Pacific ocean and the sight of the
vessels of the East Indian and China
trade which make through Washing
ton ports.
The Maritime Association of the
Port of New York is the latest to
break a lance on the senator's sugges-
tiOn that we float a government
owned navy out of the United States
Treasury funds. In a letter to the
senator it recites that there are 1O,-
100000 tons of shipping under private
flags and only 100000 tons of gov
ernment ownership and operation; but
that while the privately-owned yes
sells have made some profit at least,
that in eight years the government
has spent three quarters of a billion
dollars on the 1,500 government
owned ships. 1t suggests that the
government first of all appoint a
board of experts to make an exam
ination of the entire situation and
virtually agrees to abide by the con-
ciusions which such a board of ex-
perts may reach.

MORE PROTECTION NEEDED

WASHINGTON, D. CA total of
1858, 100000 worth of American farm
products were exported during the
year ending June 80, 1927, an increase
of more than 13 per cent over the
previous year. The exports of grains
and principal cereals ran to $402, ,00O,-
900, a 81 per cent increase over the
1925 figure.
The black spot was the increase,
however, in the value of foreign ag-
ricultural products imported into this
country. 1t is plain that what the
farmer needs is an increase in tariff
protection rather than the abandon
ment of that American principle.
