Program.
HIGH IDEALS FOR
SCHOOLS OF STATE

Superintendent A. A. Wood of the
Libby schools and Miss Grace .Dav.
OF the faculty, were in attendance at
the recent meeting of the Montana
Education Association, held in Great
Falls. Upon his return to Libby Mr..
Wood talked interestingly of tho
work done there and explained briefly
the aims and purposes of the organi-
zation.
THE professional organization Of
teachers in this state is known as t11o
Montana Education Association, said
Mr.. Wood. This group is divided into
three districts, each of which holds
an international meeting in October
where prominent educators are So
cured to outline the later and better
methods of education. Local needs
and conditions peculiar to Montana
also make up the material for discus
sion at round table sections. Teach
ing forces in each community ars
organized into smaller groups for thu
study Of their immediate problems.
Libby's unit is known as the Koote-
mai Valley Teachers Association and
includes not only the Libby schools
but Warland, Jennings, Manicke and
the adjacent rural schools as we'll
From each of these locals delegates
are selected for the state legislative
meeting in December. The purpose
of this winter meeting is the organ
izing and securing support for laws
and measures which are. sponsored by
the association. Miss Grace Day acted
as the 1923 delegate from the local
group while Supt Wood was delo-
gate at-large.
Teachers are sometimes criticized
for over-interesting themselves in
matters Of legislation and particular
| ly in those that have to do with fis-
cal policies. 1t is true that the school
will always have champions among
those who direct the government and
pay the taxes Of the state. That La

Man at Wyola, Mont.
Orders HuCkleberrieS
FromLibby Merchant

That advertising placed in the
Western News has real pulling
power was forcibly demonstrated
recently when the ]. A. Krall
grocery received an order for
home canned huckleberries from
reader Of the Western News at
Wyola, Montana. The subscriber
stated in the letter that he had
read the Krall ad. in the Western
News. He enclosed remittance for
the berries and gave careful in
structions as to the packing and
shipping, says Ray Pval, manager
Of the grocery department Of the
J. A. Krall store.
This is only one Of the many
instances where advertising in the
Western News has brought ample
returns, this instance being un-
usual only in that the order came
from somewhat greater distance
than usual.

Again Discusses
Radio Ordinance

The regular monthly meeting of the
city council was held Wednesday eve
ming, at which time the radio ordi-
nance again came up. for discussion. In
addition to the objections voiced by
Mayor Kienitz at the last meeting,
there has quite a little opposition de-
veloped among some of the council
men and elsewhere, chiefly to what
is considered a too extreme penalty
provided by. the original ordinance.
The measure was again referred to
the committee and it will probably be
resubmitted with modified penalty.
Aside from routine matters, no other
matter Of importance was transacted

$189,55O.OO

ALSO Lnere is pdld 70 Lincoln coun-
ty 25 per cent of all forest receipts.
This payment is used by the county
for road and school purposes and dur
ing the past five years has amounted
to almost $8,OO0.O0 per year.
The average direct return to the
county for roads and trails, timber
protection, and schools has thus been
approximately s197,500.00 per year.
As against this sum the taxes on
land that might have passed into pri-
vate ownership had the forest not
been established, would amount to
less than s7O,000.0O.
This latter figure will appear lib
,eral when it is considered that the
most desirable lands in the county
had either been taken up before the
forests were created or have been
opened to homestead entry since, and
that the remaining forest lands COM
prise the roughest and most inacces-
sible portions of the county.
These lands, in the aggregate, how
ever, are of great public value for
future timber production, watershed
protection, and recreation. They re-
quire protection from fire and open
ing up by roads and trails so that
their future values may be assured
and that their development keep pace
with other developments within the
county. The cost Of this is now borne
by the federal government, but If the
forests had not been withdrawn 1t
would either have to be borne by local
governments or else the lands would
go without protection and improve
ment.
Very truly yours,
FRANK j. JEFFERSON,
Forest Supervisor.

attended by Mr.. and Mrs. F. L. De-
Rosia, Mrs. DeRosia being a sister
of the bride.
The date Of the wedding had been
kept secret from the couples friends
and so successfully that following the
ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Tone went to
the New Years dance at the Libby
opera house and no one there was
aware they had been married. Later
that night they took the train for
Spokane to spend a few days in the
