dates, changes made by the last legislature in the
method of choosing such delegates should be of
more than ordinary interest.
When the general presidential primary law was
repealed in 1924, the state was left without any
legal method of naming delegates to national con-
v%entions. The attention Of the legislature was
directed to this matter at the opening of the ses-
sion last winter, and as a result a new law, intro
duced as H. B. No. 81 by Moss of Flathead county,
was adopted. In brief it provides:
Precinct committeeman and county chairmen
are to be selected in the usual way, but in presi-
Dental years the county committees shall call
meetings for the second Tuesday in May at which
delegates to the state conventions shall be chosen.
At the state meetings which are to be held on
the third Tuesday in May, delegates to the ma
tional conventions will be selected. 1t is provided
that. at these state meetings the representation
from each county shall equal the number CT re-
representatives. it has in the state house and senate
An important feature of the new law is that
no proxy may be voted in the county meetings
except by a resident of the precinct represented
by the proxy, and at the state conventions the
Same rule applies as to counties. By this, any
possibility of unduly influencing the choice of de-
legates through proxy voting is eliminated. Pro
vision also is made for the payment of five cents
a mile as travel expense to delegates attending
the state conventions.

COOLIDGE AND FARM RELIEF

An item of significance to agricultural interests
came in a recent press dispatch from Washington
which stated that after several conferences with
President Coolidge, Senator McNary of Oregon,
chairman of the senate agricultural committee,
had decided to draft a compromise farm relief
bill for introduction at the December session of
congress. 49,.
When Coolidge vetoed the McNary-Haugen bill,
this newspaper, with hundreds of others of var
iOus political faiths, criticized him pointedly. His
position seemed to be weak, because while on
the one hand he admitted distress in agriculture,
he had no remedial policy and apparently would
not join with others in an effort to solve the
problem.
p The presidents latest move, however, puts a
little different face on the situation. AS the
SpOkesman-Review says, cit presents to the coun-
try a picture of the leader of the McNary-Haugen
IOrces, coframer of the McNary-Raugen bill and
chairman of the key committee on agriculture,
striking a compromise with the administration
and the administration striking a compromise with
him. The administration now puts itself upon
constructive ground" .,~rr,p.r
Just how far the new movement to help agri-
culture solve some of it's problems will go cannot
be fOretOld. Washington dispatches declare that
the compromise measure is likely to pass the
senate and house "by an overwhelming vote
Whatever may come, it cannot be denied that just
now Mr.. Coolidge is taking steps to meet the
weakness of his position and may succeed in off
setting some of the lively antagOnism that was
aroused by his veto of the old bill.

This article is to describe the most
important discovery of my life.
1t is that happiness is the result Of
the effort to be happy.
Most people will tell you that good
cheer is spontaneous, and that joyous,
care-free people are born so.
Others will say that happiness is
the net result Of ones efforts to be
good, or to be prosperous, or to be
healthy, or to become educated.
To a certain extent these things are
true.
To be born happy helps; but mil
lions of people born with cheerful dis
positions go into reverse later.
To make an honest effort to be de-
cent helps; but many irreproachably
moral people are pessimistic and dis
agreeable.
To make money helps, but million
aires often commit suicide.
To be healthy helps, but prize
fighters frequently have nastv dispo-
sitiOns.
To become educated helps, though
the %janitOr is sometimes whistling
while the entire faculty is in the
dumps.
It is possible for a man to be NOR
ally clean, wealthy, healthy and edu.
Gated, and yet miserable, if he does
not realize that happiness is internal
that it is a thing apart, a separate
unit of life, only Indirectly the result
Of other things.

Sheen Raisers Prosnerous

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary
Jardine touched upon an interesting
fact lately. In an address prepared
for the meeting of the National Wool
Growers association at Butte, he cal
led attention to the prosperity and
favorable economic position of the
sheep raising industry in the United
States. He said: "Prices Of wool,
sheep and lambs have been relatively
higher in the last few years than the
prices Of most agricultural commOdi-
ties"
He further declared that sheep pro-
duction during the past four years
has expanded sufficiently so that we
are on the upward swing Of the pro-
duction cycle. On January 1, 1926,
there were estimated to be "a per-
cent more sheep and lambs than at
the beginning Of 1925.

Cruiser Name Contest.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Secretary
of the Navy Wilbur is confronted
with an exceedingly delicate and
knotty problem which is causing him
a lot of worry. 1t is the selection Of
names for the six new 1O,OOO-ton
scout cruisers, keels of which are to
be laid down this year. Awards of
construction contracts for the new
ships have just been made by the
navy department and nov comes the
business Of naming them. COntinu-
ing the prevailing policy, the cruisers
will be named for American cities and
several score Of cities are clamOring
for this honor.
Houston, Texas, has started a Wig
orous campaign to have n of the
ships named for it, and more than a
thousand letters have reached Secre-
tary Wilbur's office from Houston
boosters. From the other would-be
namesake municipalities the secre-
tary has received about 10000 let
tiers, and he is at a loss what to do.

AS long as you regard happiness
as a combination of external effects,
your failure to achieve those effects
will bring misery. Your errors OF
life, your financial ~reverses, your i'll
health, your feeling that you do not
know as much as others, will plunge
you into despair. You can be happy
in spite of your faults, failures and
misfOrtunes only by realizing that
happiness is a separate and distinct
factor Of personality quality OF
mind that is less closely related to
other details Of your life than is pop
ularly supposed. .
Nothing in life is so simple as not
to be in any way connected with the
rest of life. Money is connected with
health. Education is connected with
morality. Singing is connected with
care in eating. Love depends upon
telegraphy. Hate is related to ignOr-
ance. Happiness, like all other ele-
ments in ones being, is partly a re-
suit Of all other things, but partly
only. Mainly it is a separate and
distinct quality, standing all by IT,
self. That is my great discovery.
When you make that discovery, yoT
can be happy in a hospital, a poor.
house, or a jail. ''The mind is it!

hell of heaven, or a heaven Of hell.

SAVE GOLD IRONSIDES''

Annually thousands of people visit the Boston
navy yard to see the famous old frigate Con-
stitution. Her ancient bulwarks, her muzzle-
loading "a Founders which battered into sub
mission the Tripolitan forts in 1904 and four
British warships in the War of 1872, and her
lofty spars and rigging are of perpetual interest,
cOntrasted as they are by the lines and batteries
of the modern steel warships which keep her
company.
These visitors carry away a new apprecia-
ton of what Americans of an earlier and less
secure day did upon the sea. The sight of this
beautiful old ship instills a deeper reverence for
the dignity and beauty of American ideals and
for the constitution of the United States, for
which she was named. And a movement is on
foot to restore her to her original staunch con-
dition as a memorial to the freedom of the sea-
that she gained for the American people, forever,
in 1912. After her restoration, it is planned to
sail her into every important sea, and into every
inland port of the country.
To aid this movement, Rear Admiral Andrews,
commandant of the Boston navy yard and chair
man of a national "Old Ironsides" committee, has
placed on sale beautiful reproductions of an orig.
inal oil painting by Gordon Grant, depicting the
Constitution as she appeared at the height of hel
brilliant career when she, alone, defied the squad
rOns of a nation.
In Bozeman the Wilson company, one of Mon
tana's oldest firms, has volunteered to handle thu
sale of these pictures. The motive is purely un
selfish and patriotic, every cent of the MONEY
collected being turned over to the cold IrOnsides'
committee. The pictures, for which only twent.
five cents is charged, are works of art and worth.

Help Kidneys

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
Help NeutraIize Irri-

Kidney and bladder irritations often
result from acidity, says a noted au-
thority. The kidneys help filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on to
the bladder, where it may remain to
~irritate and inflame, causing a burning,
scalding sensation, or setting up an irTi-
tation at the neck of the bladder, oblig-
ing you to seek relief two or three
times during the night. The sufferer

Bladder weakness, most folks call It
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is often
one Of the most simple ailments to over

also get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take a table

LEADER IN COMMUNICATION

owns as much as 1 per cent Of the total stock

President Clifford defines the ideal and aim Of
the company as "a telephone service for the nation

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The Presidents message to Congress contains nothing of a sensational unexpected character On controversial points. such Prohibition az ricultural relief. the proposed Department of Education, tax reduction and the tarin he ad- heres to his well known positions. but generally speaking, in mild and uneontroyersia language.
 The President urges that Prohibition is law fully in the Constitution and that the laws, Ma tionaI and State adopted for it's enforcement ought to be rigidly enforced and that the people ought to comply with the law by strictly observ- ing it's sanctions "If. he says, this condition could be secured, all questions concern Prohibi- ton would cease" The real problem, however is not referred to, and that is that the people are not observing the law and that there has been such oppsition to the principle of Federal Prohibition that the Government has been un- able to enforce it. It's failures are SD obvious and well known that Prohibition enforcement is not only National but international joke
 The President insists that tax reduction ought not to be large and he adheres to the program of the Secretary of the Treasury which provides for reduction Of not to exceed $225 900, not withstanding the surplus of S535 900, 900. How ever he assures the people that any surplus that might be accumulated over and above the appro- priation of Congress will be applied to the re- duction of the National debt. It will be agreed, we believe, that the proposed application is economically sound and the only proper solution However it is likely that Congrses will insist on greater tax reduction than the President pro- poses, and it would seem that it will be justhed in case of such insistance.
 The Presidents argument for non-interference in the tariff is not only spacious but 1t avoids the real situation He says that only $500,Oo0- oOo worth of manufactured goods subject to tariff tax comes into the United States, if we except foodstuffs and luxuries. The intimation is that

this is small sum upon which to pay tarii But that does not express the actual condition that confronts the consumers. The highest tar in America had" is not burdensome in the amount of taxes covered into the treasury from the tariff on manufactures that come into the country in competition with domestic products. It is burdensome because it is so high that 1t actually prohibits importations in many lines and permits the American manufacturer to charge prices that relatively higher than the farmers and producers of material are enabled to charge for their products.
 The people will generally approve the Presi- dents position the Governments refraining from entering private business, his recommenda- tion that Government owned ships be disposed of at the earliest possible date, that Muscla Shoals be transferred to private ownership and that the Government ought to refrain from farm products price fixing.
 The review of the prosperous condition of the country the favorable situation Of it's foreign relations and the bright outlook for the future, all undoubtedly based upon ascertained facts, is specially gratifying to the American people
