HOW TO SPEND BILLIONS
Helena Independent

The income of George F. Baker,
New York banker, nov is figured
at about S41,500 an hour-a mil
ton a day. What Mr.. Baker. or
anyone else, can do with that in
come we don't know, and we don't
suppose the owner of it knows,
either.
The amount staggers most peo-
pie, who cannot visualize having
one million, much less getting that
sum every "a hours. But getting
rid of it would stagger most of us
even more.
Probably the most useful thing
Mr.. Baker could do with his mil
lions would be to split them up
among working people by under
taking needed public improve
ments. There are a thousand

SPRING FEVER
CLOSE AT HAND
(Havre Daily News)


Spring treats us rough some
times out here on the plains, but
lust the same the sun comes up
in the morning, with a smile that
sets ones blood to tingling. cit is
still possible for the ordinary indi-
vidual Of course to see the sun
near the morning horizon during
this month";. There is a feel in
the air that has been lacking. The
occasional snow furry, the chilly
thermometer at night, the mud
under foot are trials of course,
but still there is that tang in the
air that makes one glow inside
and forget the mud.
We know what is coming. We
are enjoying the first symptoms
Of spring fever. That is an en-
joyable disease to have. 1t makes
one dislike work of any kind, for
get responsibility and delight in
loafing away hours that should be
filled with business. Something
primeval stirs within us. A for
gotten ancestor back thousands on
thousands of years came out OF
a dark and dismal cave on a day
such as this, after covering in
terror thru the long, cold and dark
wintry season and summed himself
where the rays of light and heat
beat against the rock, and his
blood stirred in his veins and a
sense of well being came over
him.
We have v entirely forgot
ten that spring experience and
when we stretch in the sun OF
these fine mornings, the race old
throb will go thru US; we Will nate
the inside of our coops and long
for the feel of the ground and the
wind and the sunshine outside.
The farmer is lucky then for the

his fields, but the Gagged up softies
in the offices viii be longing for
fishing streams, the highway, the
golf course the baseball diamond
when they should be adding
figures to more figures to get
some other figures, a miserable
occupation when the drowsy long
ing for the outdoors is gripping
one.
We will recover, most of us.
Some men have solved the pro-
blem of loafing perpetually. They
never have been cured of the

White House offices.
So far as his own direct actions
are concerned, Mr.. Hoover has
made a decidedly favorable i'm.
Iression on Washington. There
has been some criticism of his
oil conservation order and some
minor inevitable complaints. But
the honeymoon has been a success
so far as the capital is concerned.
Other Problems
However, there are other con
s~iderations yet to be determined
which will affect the Judgment of
the country upon Mr.. Hoover.
The stock market break is being
blamed upon the action of the
federal reserve board restricting
credit for speculative purposes.
1t is not known that Mr.. Hoover
has had anything to do with that
policy. 1t is not known whether
he favors it. Yet the president
always is blamed for many things,
including the weather. No admin
~istration has easy sailing when
the stock market goes down.
Dry Precedent
1t is generally felt in Washington
Mr.. Hoover will have to face the
prohibition issue more squarely
than any of his predecessors.

appeared here. Mr.. and Mrs. E.
B. Mclean, social leaders of
Washington, have set a precedent

A sympathetic reader brought
this in and made a special request
that it be published:
The editor at the pearly gate,
His face looked worn and old,
He meekly asked the man of fate
For admission to the fold.

Peter
ITO seek admission here?"

The gate was swung open,
And Peter touched the bell;

eggs for the missus and the kids
to buy. The task-master's whip
falls and hits us on that solar
plexus of the family man, the
pocket-book. The thrall of slav-
cry is on us again and we look
out of the windows and sigh and
reluctantly begin again to add two

hope that some day it will make
five instead of four.

milk producers association has al
most doubled the milk consump-
ton since prohibition went into
effect. 1t was accomplished by
sound advertising. In many Euro
pean countries it is almost i'm
possible to get milk. In London
it is hard to buy, and you can't
even get cream for your coffee
except by special request. Euro
peans drink liquor where we drink
milk. Wipe out prohibition and
our milk market is ruined"

OR MEN?

Scarcely a day passes now but
The Herald is asked to give in
formation concerning living quar-
ters. Apparently the supply OF
three or four room houses falls
far short of the demand. There
are a number of small houses
which have not been occupied for
several years, houses which still
might be fairly comfortable dwell
ling places. had it not been for the
thoughtless vandalism of young
boys.
In some neighborhoods when a
family moves out of a house,
scarcely has the last load of afruni-
ture been taken before the small
boys of the neighborhood are US
ing the windows as targets to test
their craftsmanship, and the tar
gets being large their stones usu-
ally find their mark. The win

and look around to see if the oc-
cupants have left anything of in,
terest. Perhaps, scuffling, the
boys break a hole in the wall
board; the hole must be made
larger and soon large strips of
wall board are torn off. Perhaps
the doors are opened and left open
so that wind and weather may do
their share toward making the
building deteriorate. An instinct,
inherent since before Adam,
makes the youngsters climb onto
the roof, and the same instinct
which caused the monkeys in the
jungle to hurl cocoanuts to the
ground causes their American
cousins to loosen the bricks from
the chimney and throw them down
to the ground, or to tear the
shingles off the roof.
Boys are apt to have the feel
ing that unoccupied property is
nobody's property, that sit doesn't
matter anyway, as long as nobody
lives there" Neighbors seeing
the depredations feel like keeping
hands off rather than make
trouble, and some parents if they
know what their children are do
ing, are apt to smile leniently and
think, Boys will be boys, and
they'll outgrow that age.
Are parents training their child
rem to be men and women who are
going to be able to take the re-
sponsibilities of citizenship when
their turn comes, OF are they
bringing up a race of clever mon
keys with no discrimination be-
tween right and wrong? The
youth who has never been taught
to respect the property rights of
other people, particularly when
people are not there to defend
their own rights, will probably
land in court charged with steal
ing a handful of pocket knives or
an automobile, forging a check or
burglarizing a store. The root of
all these crimes lies in the dis
regard of the property rights Of
others.
The innocent fun" of a few
Wolf Point boys in the last sew
eral years has resulted in hun
dreds of dollars worth of damage
to vacant houses, and in some
cases houses have been made I'M
inhabitable, inficting a hardship
not only on the owner, but also on
the family coming into town and
looking for a home. Parents, are
you bringing up a pack of mon
keys, or are you training citizens?

SUIT OVER GRAPES IN SUPREME COURT
Bdkin Wants Railroad to Pay
 for Delayed Delivery

The case of the NJ. A. Belkin Go. fruit and produce wholesaler of this city against the New York. New Haven & Hartford railroad was heard in the supreme court of er- TOTS yesterday afternoon. It was an appeal from judgment in the com- mon pleas court.
 The action was for damages caus- ed by the delay in delivery of . car of seedless grapes in September of 1925. Belkin claims after the car arrived at New Britain the railroad delayed for two days in placing the car in a position where Belkin's cus- toners could reach it. He claimed he sold all the grapes and when the customers came to get them, they were held up by the railroads fall ure to place the car on the public siding. The railroads reply is that Belkin had private siding which was occupied by other cars.
 The case involves the duties of the railroad toward the owner of . pri- vate siding and also the duty of the railroad to deliver perishable goods. Belkin claims that -SAe railroad switcher should be employed to move the factory freight. Hungerford X Sake represents the plaintiffs and Edward Bromley and J. H.

Chicago. May 1s R,-With Al Ca. pone put away" for . year in . Pennsylvania prison, it remains to be seen whether the riddle of Chica. % gang crime has been solved. There were ominous suggestions to- day that 1t had only been intensi- Aed.
 The roost that Capone ruled was not one that the most optimistic po- lice officers believed would colla pse merely because its main support was taken away. Even without its chief, the Capone mob remained | potent and sinister threat.
 The sangsters themselves were not using . brass band to advertise their reaction to the jailing of Scar face Al. but police read several signs. none of which indicated any termination of gang warfare.
 Successors May Fight
 There was police speculation over . rumor that machine gun elec- ton" was being planned to elevate new leader to Capones vacant throne. There were reports. too. that rival gangsters, emboldened by the temporary removal of Capone, were getting ready to seize tho "Ca- pone territory" with bullets and bombs if necessary. and thus make the entire city the territory" of one rum running-racketeerins -extortip ipn gang.

Moran blamed the massacre on Capons's E men.
 According to Capone's statement to Philadelphia officials. a peace pact between the Capone- Mora n gangs and other Chicago mob lead CTS was effected only a few hours before Capone's arrest in Philadel- phia for gun-toting.
