credit to the fair minded citizens who

The educational enterprise in a COM

velopment of a country are: schools,
churches and the newspaper as well

competition. Some thought should be

Merchants Need Each Other.

Denton, Mont.-The Farm Confer
ence held here last Friday and Sat-
urday, brought out large number of
interested farmers in spite of the
extremely cold and disagreeable
weather. Miss Ebersole, who is in
charge of the All club work and Dan
Noble, county agent, were out both
days and at the luncheon at the Sa-
voy Cafe on Saturday night. Mr..
Noble gave an excellent talk on COM
munity spirit as it affects the various
trading centers, and the surrounding
farming areas. He said in part:
"There is little doubt in anyone's
mind, who has observed a progressive
community club, but that it is fast
becoming one of our leading adult
educational institutions. 1t has been
found that community club programs
are being divided into three distinct
phases. First, the recreational phase
which provides clean and adequate en-
tertainment for the farmers of q
community; second, educational phase
taking up educational problems that
are vital to their welfare and devel-
opment; third, business phase, which
includes legislative matters and mat.

A Radio Club
In many towns and cities owners OF
receiving sets have formed listeners
clubs for the purpose of aiding the
authorities In investigating local dis
turbances. In nearly every instance
the result has proven satisfactory.
Many owners of motors, electric
lamps, vibrators, heating apparatus
chargers, etc., are not aware that then
devices are causing interference, ano
would gladly have the fault remedlec
if called to their attention.
However, there are others who seen
to take some delight in filling the all
with the artificial static.
A short time ago the Montana-Da
kota power company sent one OF t,1el!
"trouble-shooters" to Scobey with

tribution system responsible for some

life as the piano, violin or other mus

Many of the yowling, growing,

lessness and wilfulness on the part of
citizens operating motors and other
electrical devices that can be ground

eliminate interference with radio re-

who have investigated some of the

About year ago the city passed a
so-called radio ordinance and provid-

time the ordinance commanded some
respect, but this fall and winter radio
