 Under other guidance the college would have amounted to little. Under Dr. Bunnell it has made rapid strides, has interested men of power vision and importance. The President of the institution may feel complimented that these men are taking an interest in the work he is doing and planning to do.

 If men and women wore the same kind of clothes there would be lot of husbands going around in their wives cast off finery.
 There's one consolation about this bareleg fad-the skin on the pegs doesn't get full of wrinkles the way it does on the face, and the fifty year old ones won't look any worse than the twenty-year old ones do.
 We are used to women's weird styles in clothes, but if the men ever come out with backless shirts short pants and barelegs the world will laugh to death.
 The trouble with the average husband is that he expects his wife to do so many things she ex- poets him to make enough money to hire others to do.

a PRINTER

The printer is a faithful ser
want, not only for those connected
with the business, but also for the
public at large. Without him
what would be the state of the
world at large? Why, tyrants and
humbugs in all countries would
have everything their Own way.
The printer is the friend of in
telligence and thought; he is the
friend of liberty, of freedom, of
law; indeed, the printer is the
friend of every man who is the
friend of order-the friend of
every man who can read. OF all
the inventions, of all the discov-
cries in science or art, of all the
great results in the wonderful
progress of mechanical energy and
skill, the printer is the only pro-
duct of civilization necessary to
the existance of free man.

The WHITE SISTER ONE
OF FEW FILMS TO LIVE

"The Birth of a Nation" and
The Four Horsemen' are among
the pictures which have been re
vived successfully at the Capitol
Theatre, New York, in the last
few years. In each case the
second showing was deemed ex-
pedient as a result of letters, oral
communications or a general in
direct "sounding-out" of public
opinion. A great many letters
have been received about "The
White Sister, Major Edward
Bowes says, and so the picture,
first seen at the theatre more than
four years ago, has been brought
back.
"a film must have some special
quality - some very outstanding
merit" Major Bowes added, "to
justify a revival.
distinctive pictures offer the
outstanding advantage of being
tlme-pr0Of IN the sense tnat a
great artists talent may be pre-
served for p~osterity in a way COM
parable to literature rather than
drama, but with the sense of near
ness and vitality which moving
pictures furnish. A great many
pictures of historical value have
been placed away in vaults for the
use Of future generations. The
same is true of feature pictures.
Thus we may eventually build up
a film library of real classics"

shown Easter Sunday and Monday

FIRE WASTE AND

COMMON SENSE
The apparent disregard Of fire
waste by otherwise estimible and
intelligent citizens. is a peculiar
phase of our national life.
It is nothing more than common
sense to realize that when we burn
half a billion dollars worth of
property in a year, to say nothing
of lives lost, several times that
amount of money has been totally
destroyed in time and business
lost and upkeep of fire depart
ments.
There can be no question but
what this tremendous waste pre-
sents a serious menace to our
prosperity. In no way can it actu-
ally be replaced, least of all by
an insurance company which must
collect at least as much money as
it pays out.
The principal causes of fire are
carelessness, ignorance, poor
building construction and made
quate protective facilities.
The National Board of Fire
Underwriters and many other or
CARNATIONS, private and civic,
through Fire Prevention Weeks
and all-year'round activities, make
intensive efforts to educate the
public. 1t is clearly our own fault
if the lessons are not Needed

CAPTURING THE OLD WEST

The thousands who visited The
Great Falls art exhibit last weel
carried away with them vivid i'm
pressions of the Old West as it has
been portrayed by the hand of the
majority of exhibitors. Another
generation or two and the Old
West as it was a generation age
will be merely tradition-one can
even fancy dude ranches with gay
shirted cowboys who have learned
the technique of their profession
in schools instead of by riding the
range.
Il is particularly fitting that
there should grow up out of the
West a school of artists who are
striving to perpetuate on canvas
the spirit and action and romance
of this great empire. That this
should come about in a generation
almost contemporaneous with the
times portrayed is a happy cir
cumstance, for in a little while
civilization will have made a gil
gantic c-heckerboard of the vest
plains, native prairie will give
place TO golden grain, %graYelled
roads will %crisscross the land, and
with the development that is
bound to come, the Old West will
die bit by bit until it is only a
memory. Mountain streams may
be harnessed and hillsides shorn
of their trees, but there will re-
main the rugged grandeur of the
mountains. Nor a the encroach-
ment of progress and civilization
blot out the beauty of Montana
sunrises and sunsets.
1t was to do honor to the mem
DRY and achievement of Charles
M. Russell that the first art eX-
hibit was held in Great Falls two
years ago, but by making it an
annual affair the Great Falls
Chamber of Commerce has erected
a living, growing monument to the
artist. The attention of Mont
anans and others has been focused
upon western art as something
well worth perpetuating. A west
ern art complex has been develop
ed, so to speak. The ambition to
exhibit at Great Falls will prove
an inspiration to young artists
and make them work more
zealously to produce something
worthy of being exhibited. And
from among the handful of dis
ciples of Russell there may come
one who will be qualified to carry
on the torch which his genius has
lighted.
