Concert Was Pleasing.

"A number Of young ladies from
Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Mimi.
gave a concert in Libby last Friday
evening that held the close attention
of a goodly sized audience and was
pleasing throughout. The young ladies
are students at the college, compose
the Augsburg Choral Society and
were accompanied by their dean, Miss
Gerda Mortensen, and the director.
Prof. Henry P. Opseth. The concert
here was given under the auspices of
the First Lutheran church Of Libby.
Augsburg College is Christian
school Of the Lutheran denomination
and the Choral Society chose to give
sacred concert, all of their selec-
tions being sacredlmusic with the ex-
ception Of one rollicking college song.
The young ladies sang with ability
and showed fine training, with the
closest Of harmony and fine execution
Greetings from the school were ex-
tended by the dean of women, Miss
Mortensen, who remarked that this
was the first trip into the mountains
for several Of the girls and that all

EAifnrial

The eye survey which was sponsored
by the women's club and conducted by
Drs. Keller and Ostroot brought to
light many facts. The most obvious
one was that over three-fourths Of
the students having poor grades need
ed eye treatment.
The benefit from such a survey
cannot be fully derived in one year
but progress will come from the con-
tinuance Of this program from year
to year. The parents as well as the
teachers have a way of checking on
the grades Of the students as related
to the condition of their eyes.
Our school is supported by taxes
and leases from school land. Children
who fail or who are backward have
larger proportion of money spent
on them, thus robbing the rest of
what they should have. Over three
fourths of this condition can be cor
rected by having better eyes and bet
ter eyes can be had by giving them
aid when needed. This is what our
school is endeavoring to do.

Something to Think About.

"You cannot believe in honor until
you have achieved it. Better keep
yourself clean and bright You are the
window through which you must see
the world"
George Bernard Shaw wrote the
quotation above. Mr.. Shaw is play
wright. The first time you read his
quotation you probably won't think
about all it means. If you will read
it over and over you will get more
and more out of it. 1t seems like a
good saying for US all to remember.
| read it in book, and now ! am
putting it in the paper where you
can all read it.
This is what / got out Of reading
it: You have to be good and to stand
for the right things in life your own
self II you really want to know what
honor is. You can't just read or hear
about honor and then think you have
-fea have to practice it. You should
worry about your own self, to. I'm
less you are clean and bright inside
it will be just like trying to look out

Speedy Bout
IS Scheduled
For April Z
Young Jess Willard and
Frisco Giant to Mix in
Ten Round Battle.
WILL BE REAL SCRAP
SAYS SPORTS WRITER
(By E. M. b.

When Tex Richards passed out Of
the promoting game year ago,
everybody and his brother endeavored
to pick his successor in the fight
game. Big Bill Carey endeavorsd to
fill his shoes but did not show any
of Richards ability to put over !
match that would draw the crowds
and collect the jack. The biz shot Of
them all-none other than tho f.
nous Jack Dempsey--tried his hand
at the promoting end Of the eafne.
While Jack was the most colorful
fighter that eyer wore a padded NIT
he was flop rs I promoter and the
fellows that claim to be in the know
say that Dempsey has dropped a half
million, and is seriously considering
another big fight to replenish the
cupboard. This is getting away from
my story. What we are looking for
at the present time is = successor to
the great Tex, and am Of the opinion
that right here in the little City of
Libby we have uncovered the man
that will not only fill the shoes Of
the late Tex but will also show the
boys how the game is handled. We
refer to no less a person that Big
Chief Hoffman.
The Chief has been busy for the
past two months getting things lined
up for good little scrap, and when
we say good that is only half OF it.
The card the club intends to put on
Saturday night, April 18th, consists
nc a tcp xo,rd hcu+ ho4vunnr vo,rur
Jess Willard, better known to the
home folks as Jess Baker, and the
Frisco Giant. His true name is shown
on the payroll of the Glacier Silver
Lead Mine as Dave Richmond. Most
of US know Jess and can rest as
sured that he will put every thing
into the bout to make it q success
and will carry the fight to the GiAnt.
jess has been in steady training and
for a pastime has been showing tho
ore cars up the mountain for the Yer
miculite Company. This was due to
the breakdown of the donkey engine
that is used for pulling the cars up
the hill. Jess did not want to see the
mine shut down while repairs were
being made to the engine, so he UNI
dertook the task Of keeping the cars
moving. The trucks that are haul
ing the ore never missed trip so
you can see that Jess made good on
that job, and will do the same on
April 18th Jess will enter the ring
weighing 1875 pounds. He is in perfect
trim not an ounce of fat on his body.
Jess says that if the Giant viii stand
up and fight that the boys will get
more than their moneys worth.
Let's see what the Frisco Giant
looks like. He fights in at 204 pounds
and if he fights like he shakes hands,
boy look out. He is we'll built fell
low, halls from the Occur dAlene
mining country and has rep for
knocking them cold. George Brown
told me that the Giant would sooner
fight than eat, and that we didn't
need to worry about it being an after

Well look the other way for awhile
And put on your face becoming

Away with your repiningl

Unless the sun is shining
You have gotten into the path of the

You've caused an eclipse, that's what
you have done!

Look at the sun and forget your care;
For what is the use Of whining7

Place Orders Now
For Land Plaster

Some months ago this paper an
nounced that the board of county COM
missioners would be glad to file orders
from farmers for quantities Of land
plaster and if enough orders could be
obtained, carload would be ordered
and saving in price thereby obtained
Some orders have been placed but
there ought to be more. If carload
can be ordered it will mean a saving
of about 5000 per ton. Orders should
be placed at once with either one of
the county commissioners or with the
county clerk and recorder.
Land plaster is very beneficial to
the soil and greatly increases the
yield Of legume crops. Lincoln county
farmers should avail themselves of
this opportunity to secure this valu-
able fertilizer at big saving.

Libby {. Club Holds
Profitable Meeting

Two interesting discussions by
Superintendent A. A. Wood of the
Libby schools and Walter Neils of
the J. Neils Lumber company fea-
tured the meeting of the Libby Com
mercial club held Friday evening in
Masonic temple. Immediately follow
ing the serving Of dinner, the club
members were treated to surprise in
the way of selections by three MEM
bers of the Choral Society Of Augs-
burg College, !. Minneapolis, which
gave a concert in the city later that
evening. MISS MelFby, instructor in
music in the Libby schools, was intro
duced by E. NJ. Boyes and then Miss
Mellby introduced the artists Of the
Choral Society. A piano solo was
played by Miss Katherine Sverdrup
q contralto solo was sung by Miss Jen-
ME Skurdalsvold, who responded to
an encore, and Prof Henry P. OPP
seth favored the members with
cello selection. The offering Of each
of these talented musicians was much
enjoyed.
In the absence of President F. J.
Jefferson, the duty Of presiding at
the business meeting fell upon E. M.
Boyes, who proved to be most COM
petent and agreeable presiding officer.
Chairman Boyes opened the meet
ing by stating that Superintendent
Wood had been asked to discuss a
much debated question, the proposal
to add another member to the presi-
Iartfc puh irnf to,. nf aJa1nn
ton. Mr.. Wood recited the history
of the proposed legislation, told how
such bill had been before congress
for the past 10 years but had never
succeeded in getting out of commit
tee because of opposition to it by
supporters of parochial schools and
on the ground that new department
would greatly increase taxes. Many
of these objections had now been over
come by submitting modified bill,
said Mr.. Wood, and he hoped for its
passage. He said he believed super
vision of the nations schools by fed
eral authorities would result in much
good by spreading improved methods
and in other ways.
Walter Neils was called upon to
discuss the question of tariff on
lumber, the senate having passed
last week d tariff Of $3.50 on lum-
Der. Mr. Neils briefly recited the
competition the lumber industry has
to face and pointed to the fact that
many lumber companies were falling
by the wayside. He referred to the
opposition of both Montana senators
to tariff on lumber Mr.. Neils said
that sawmills of this district did not
meet Canadian competition in any part
of Montana as railroad connections
and other conditions kept the Cana
dian product out of Montana; that
this competition was met only from
Minnesota eastward, but that it is
a severe problem in the middle west
and eastern markets. Canadian laws
permit the entry Of cheap foreign la.
Dor which is prohibited in the states
and Canadian railroad rates are more
favorable, said Mr.. Neils all result
ing in creating stiff competition. The
tariff, if it is sustained by the house

Expect Much From
Development Plans

HELENA, March 24.--(UP.)-
Montana's latest promotional enter
prise, the Montana Development Con-
terial factor towards the states agri-
cultural and industrial advancement.
Unlike some of its predecessors, it will
not dwindle to political faction or to
a nominal organization controlled by
select few. Cogs of this organiza-
ton are men and women Of all walks
Of life; of various political faiths and
religious beliefs-men and women
whose desire to help their state has
moulded them together into pow
erful group whose sole purpose is to
"sell" Montana first to Montanans
and then to the rest of the world.
This, in effect, is the belief Of
Commissioner of Agriculture A. Fl.
Stafford who has been a motivating
force behind the congress and who
is now following up the initial meeting
in February with the actual compile
ton of the organization.
This organization will be Montana's
spokesman to the world. It will dis
seminate information. broadcast act
ual figures on tremendous natural re
sources in the state, and boost Mon
tana at every turn of the road.
Commissioner Stafford outlined the
purposes as follows:
/. Attract new settlers-intelli-
gent men who are able to convert
Montana's cheap farming land to pro-
ductive soil.
2. Collection and assembling OF
facts and figures on industrial re
sources.
g., Spread the word OF Montana's
matchless climate and scenic wonders.
4. Replace road transformation
with accurate road information.
5. Consider and suggest solutions
for statewide problems.
