many compliments from the public.

record shows they are being sent to
Germany, Sweden and many states.

sent to Norway and Ireland. Beyond
question they will go into every state
in the Union as we'll as many foreign
countries. A few people living near
Troy have asked for the calendars
while visiting, in Libby One man
pulled out his pocketbook and offered
to pay for two of the calendars when
we gave them to him, but of course
he was told that they are for free dis
tribution. If the public is ready to
pay for them the calendars must be
appreciated. The calendar has II

fractions, mining, farming, timber and
industrial resources of this section
