which states it is one Of the incest

sidering the fact we are supposed to

REVENGE ISN'T REALLY
WORTH HAVING

The officials in the police prosecu-
tors office at Detroit have made an
interesting discovery about human
nature. When a person comes in to
swear out warrant against neigh
Dor for some petty offense, they tell
him to come back tomorrow" and
they have found that in the vast ma
jority of cases he does not come back
at all. In other words, people do re-
vengeful things on impulse that they
do not do on second thought. When
they have suffered some wrong their
first impulse is to get even, so they
are given "a hours in which to ponder
the matter, they usually decide that
revenge ish't really worth having,
says the Newcastle Courier. SO the
warrants go unissued. Somehow,
that discovery strikes us as rather
encouraging and significant common
1ary on human nature.

Australia the Argentine, Russia, CON
tinental Europe, and Canada, as well
as in the United States, and long be-
fore the Montana grower begins his
harvest operations the buyers in this
country know, within few million
bushels, just how much wheat will be
offered during the year on American
and foreign markets. They do not
have to peek into the bins at termin-
ais, then raise or lower their bids ac-
cording to the amount of golden
grain they actually see. They have
very reliable reports before them as
to just how much wheat there is in
the world and where it is.
Nevertheless, there is much to sus-
tain the contention that the Montana
wheatgrower has much to gain-and
probably nothing to lose-by keeping
La greater part Of his crop in this
state until later in the season. 1t is
not that the quantity Of Montana's
crop depresses the market but that
our wheat is of superior quality and
if it were not thrown on the market
so early it might later attract spec

Then there is another phase of the

country roads are usually good at

expense of employing granaries and
taking chances on poor roads in the
winter is balanced against the cost Of
extra trucks to haul direct from the

THE STORAGE PROBLEM

The question of providing storage
within the state for greater porto
OF Montana's annual wheat crop is
bound to be more widely discussed as
time goes on. Right now we are
hearing quite a bit about it because
there is belief shared by many that
wheat prices would be higher if this
seasons crop had not been dumped
on the terminals so rapidly, says the
Great Falls Tribune editorially.
Unquestionably, it is true that the
glutted condition of the terminals has
had a bearish effect on prices, but
1t is as reasonable to assume that the
price would not have been much high
er if the crop had been held back. A
lot OF factors enter into the price of
wheat and glutted markets is but one
of them.
As wheat is a surplus crop, tn

of that day, Ford's imagination was
fired by the story of the young man
who had risen from obscurity by no
more than his own industry and tai

the Edison Electric Light Company

the inventor he was impelled finally
to go there seeking a job. That job

Dearborn was selected as the place

the area about Detroit. where the in
