MONEY AND OTHER THINGS.

Pick up any popular magazine and
you'll get a good definition of what
passes for success in modern Ameri-
ca. To succeed is to make a great
deal of money. Everybody knows
that. It is about the only standard
we have. The poor boy who rises to
power and affluence-espeeially af-
fluenee-is a stock figure in our fic-
ton Our idols are all wealthy men:
MELONS, Fords, Fishers, Morgans and
the like.
At the University of Wisconsin,
however, there is a man who doesn't
seem to take much stock in all of
this. He is a chemist, Prof. Harry
Steenbock, and he has discovered a
method of investing foods with the
properties of ultraviolet rays, or Vi
tamin D, without affecting the taste
of the foods. This is enormously i'm
portant in the field of medicine and
could be made to yield an immense
financial return.
But Professor Steenbock won't take
cent for it. Whatever money is
sent to him-and the other day he
got a check bearing five figures-he
turns over to the university. The
university has tried to make Profes-
scr Steenbock reconsider, but he has
always refused. He asks only that
profits go to finance further research.
For himself, he will continue to exist
on professors salary.
Suppose Professor Steenbock had
decided to use his discovery to make
fortune. Suppose he had formed a
stock company, INDUCED in heavy adj
vertising campaigns, and rolled up
colossal riches. What then? Why,
the man would be famous. Success
stories and inspirational interviews
would center about him. He would
have country estates, yachts, ser
wants and all the rest of the para
phernalia of great wealth.
What does all Of this prove? Moth
ing much, perhaps-except that the
greatest lie which an age of prosper
ity has foisted on us is the fiction
that money is the only handspring
that will drive men to do useful work.

ALVIRA WENTWORTH
SERVICES SUNDAY

Alvira Swan Wentworth, invalid
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. S. Went
worth, passed away at the family
home in Roberts shortly after four
o'clock Friday morning, February %,
after an illness of two days. Death
was attributed to nervous collapse.
The end came quietly and peaceful
ly, fitting for the beautiful and vet
sad life she spent in an invalid's
chair for more than twenty-six years.
Simple and brief, but solemnly
impressive Christian Science services
were held at the family home at one
o'clock Sunday afternoon with Mr..
Warner of Billings, officiating. Two
beautiful vocal solos were given by
Miss Salisbury, also of Billings. Fol
lowing the last rites hundreds of
friends of the Wentworths paid their
last respects to Miss Alvira, who
rested in state in her invalid's room
among beautiful floral tributes.
Alvira Wentworth was born in
Waldo, Maine, March 80, 1881 and
was A years, 10 months and 20 days
of age at the time of passing on.
With her parents, she came to Mon
tana about thirty-two years ago.
Immediate surviving relatives are
the parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Wentworth;
Mrs. S. G. Smart and Mrs. E. A.
Hallett, both of Glenwood Springs,
Colo; Mrs. Cynthia Blood, Freedom,
Maine; Mrs. Alvira Swan of Lowell,
Mass; Mrs. A. MeDermid, Worehes-
ter, Mass, aunts; and Mr.. and Mrs.
c h as. Wentworth of Lewistown,
Mont, cousins.
The Lewistown Wentworths arrived
in Roberts to attend the services.
The pallbearers were 0rville Boy
er, Orr Doty, Addison Chapman,
John Wilson, Pete Rowland and
Thomas Carr.
The eortege to the cemetery was
long. The Downward mortuary of
Red Lodge had charge of funeral
arrangements.

Il is something that all can do and
few seldom will
An example of what can be accom-
plished is the echo of the past few
days-days of real strife when bas-
ketball boys from all over the county
met in their county tournament and
later when the teams who thus were
victor again met in a larger field of
rivalry at Billings.
Two Carbon county teams had to
battle out the entire affair at Bill
lings and the real test of sportsman
ship was shown when these two
teams, that are practically one as far
as geographical boundaries are con-
cernsd, went into battle with a result
that only one could emerge victorious.
This was the time that enmity aud
strife could oyershadow the greater
quality of real manhood.
It seems deplorable that Bearcreek
and Red Lodge should be the two
towns that had to bear the brunt of
the entire affair. It was the teams
from these sister towns, towns that
are practically one, that played the
game that featured the otherwise
mediocre tournament. Red Lodge won
the game, but the craftsmanship. of
the players and the sportsmanship of
the townspeople of Bearcreek was
Immediately shown.
Bearcreek had overshadowed the
Carbon boys in the county tourna-
ment and the dope of all prophets
had been upset on last Friday night.
Did the Bearcreek players, their
coach and the citizens of that lively
coal camp bemoan their fate and re-
vile their neighboring town? They
did not. Every one concerned i'm
mediately stated they hoped that the
younger and more immature team
would win over the fortunate team in
Billings. A team that had had an
easy time Of it and who had no OPP
position Of any kind with the excep-
tion of the final game.
na,,,o tbt,na +n,,o
Red Lodge The boys were victors,
but they were modest. They had
won over the best team they had to
go up against; the team that predic-
ton denoted was to be victors. They
in turn were just as anxious to again
see Bearcreek take the place they
We're supposed to have to battle for
third in the tournament. But the
boys had used up their energies, they
went down to fourth place-but they
did it in a sportsmanlike manner.
They never bemoaned the fact that
they had been Disseminated at or
that they were treated unfairly in any
way.
What made these two teams carry
through in the manner they did? 1t
was only through one thing. The
coach of each team started in at the
beginning of the school year to instill
in the teams the fact that they were
going to play the game square. And
that is the manner in which Red
Lodge and Bearcreek has played bas-
ket-ball.

Commander Byrd, who is at the
head of the Byrd expedition to the
Antarctic region, is already at work
making his flying excursions explor-
ing the area around the south pole.
He has found a new island and has
added IA new peaks to the map of the
globe. The Antarctic continent is
still in an ice age. The continent
consist of 100000 square miles and
the whole area covered with an ice
sheet at least 1000 feet thick. Two
volcanoes are located in this region,
Mount Terror and Mount Erebus,
1890 feet above sea level. The lat
ter is still active giving off fumes.
Along the coast line of this ice-cap,
glaciers are slowly moving towards
the sea between two mountain ridges
from the plateaus 5000 to 10000
feet high. Commander Byrd will in
vestigate the geology of the area as
we'll as the iee-cap and the peculiar
weather conditions. He will try to
locate the magnetic south pole and
the true south pole. The expedition
is equipped with the latest scientific
Instruments. The radio and the aero
plane play an important part in max
ing this exploration a success.

Question-Was Montana complete
" covered with ice during the ice
age?
Answer-No. The southern bound
airy of the ice-cap that covered part
of Montana extended only as far as
the present location of the Missouri
river.
A new explosive, vastly more pow

In the Grand Canyon National
bark, archaeolegists have reported
the finding of new cliff dwellers
ruins. In Clear Greek canyon the
discoveries consist of eight dwellings
with one or two kivas. The kiva is
the underground passage way for
entering the home, and also affords
protection against the invasions by
an enemy.
While eXcavating an Indian mound
near Joliet, ILL.,, it was found that In
dams buried in these mounds were
provided with funeral gifts of Euro
pean manufacture as well as those of
native workmanship. Heretofore it
was thought that the mound builders
were mysterious race that had van
ished before the coming of the In
dams. These findings will correct a
wrong impression.

An expedition in northwestern Qua

Two and four-wheeled chariots
have been found at Kish by the Ok

not the kind of tariff equalization that
the Republican party promised or the
agricultural states expected. The
readiness of response which the Trib-
une's round-robin telegram has evoked
throughout the northwest is therefore
not surprising.
The Tribune has been criticized by
its Minneapolis rival, the Journal, on
the score of good manners for bring
ing the protest of the northwest to the
attention of congress. Such criticism
fundamentally mistakes the situation.
The northwest is not a humble petit
toner standing cap in hand grateful
for the few crumbs let fall from the
industrial feast. 1t is demanding as

Aside from having built up a grow

ployment to a number of people and
this spring shipped out approximately
$4,000 worth of products, specialize

(The Minneapolis Star, May BIZ
What section of this country has a
better right than the agricultural
northwest to demand from congress a
tariff bill that goes the limit in af-
fording relief to the farming regions?
The northwest took the Republican
party and Herbert Hoover at their
word when they promised all possible
agricultural relief 1t cast it's vote
for Hoover for President on that
pledge.
Now it has seen the house. asked by
the President to make limited
changes in the tariff as part of a farm
relief program, vote for thousand
changes, many Of them designed to
aid the already prosperous section
at the expense of the farm producer.
Now the senate is to act and pre-
,sumably revise the bill prepared by
the house.
Not only has the northwest every
right in the world to protest to the
senate, to put before the senators its
earnest demand that campaign pledges
be fulfilled, but if the northwest
doesn't make itself heard, and unmis-
takably understood. in Washington
now, the senate may well assume that
this part of the country is satisfied
with developments to date.
If there ever was time for the
northwest to speak up, this is it.

FATHERS DAY

The second Sunday of June has
been set aside and designated as
Fathers day and it is only fitting
that it be so. With no lessening of
the honor due our mothers but rather
with true recognition of the wonder
full sacrifices father has made, that
our minds and bodies might not be
stunted in their growth and that we
might be able to cope with the prob
lens of the world, which he knew
full well. by experience, would con-
front us as we grow older.
We are wont to think of father
as a strong-willed and steel-nerved
the sentimental side of life but this
is not wholly true. Too many times
he has fallen to sleep after hours of
tossing in bed worrying and wonder
ing how this or that payment on the
family necessities might be made
without any depreciation in the COM
fort of his dependents. Too many
times he has gone to his labors feel
ing indisposed or with feeling that
his efforts are not appreciated.
The world on the ninth day of June
should turn out 'enmasse for its fathers
and make them feel that they have
been, and are appreciated. Although
they are not always directly in touch
with their children in their daily
routine, they nevertheless help in a
material way to bless the rising
generation and no little praise and
appreciation should be shown them
on this day.
