Editor Times-I have been a sub
scriber to your paper for fifteen
years and am lifelong Democrat.
I am very much in favor of the old
age pension law. believe that every
old man or woman, after they reach
the age of go, should get pensions If
they haven't received a reasonably
good living.
Then I would do away with the
county road superintendent and elect
a supervisor in each precinct to
work and care for all roads, both
gravel and dirt. All officers should
be elected by the majority Of the
people. I would let each man work
out his time or pay it.
I would do away with those thirty
day bonds and let the rich paS taxes
as well as the poor.
I'd nominate all officers by a pri-
mary election. I do not believe in
appointing an officer. Take the
road superintendent, for instance;
he can buy two men much easier
than he can buy the majority of
the voters in the county.

Editor Times-In an editorial in
The Times last Friday entitled, "A
Carload of Soup" you made the
suggestion; Write your own COM
ment or dismiss the thing as too So
cialistic, ETC."
I have watched the papers every
evening since and as yet no one has
replied; at least, nothing has been
printed.
I have enjoyed the editorials Of
late very much, and this one espe-
ciaIly. We believe we do underA
stand business enterprise of this
kind and this one is a great object
lesson. 1t proves that the workers
il any business are the real k-ains,
after all. And surely the workers
in this firm have not lost any Of
their incentive to produce and pro-
vide for their dependents and also
for the needy in distress.
When all mankind has settled
upon some such plan, poverty, crime,
insanity and suicide will cease.
l have been told by professors of
religion that poverty is, conducive to

An Explanation

Because certain people have an err
roneous impression and because GER
tain untrue stories are being circulated
regarding the winning of the Ford car
by Mr. Ed Smith, given away by US
on October /. we wish to make the
following explanation of the affair
Mr.. Smith held several hundred tick
cts in his own name because of his
personal purchases and lesser num-
Der that had been given him for pur-
chases made by him as county road
supervisor. We wish to state that the
tickets given him for county purchases
were turned over to him by us with
out the knowledge or authorization of
Mr.. Henry Brink, county commissioner.
We felt that we were justified in doing
this inasmuch as we knew-to our
personal acknowledgement Mr.. Smith
had worn out two cars largely in look
ing after county business and for
which he had never asked for or re-
ceived cent of pay from the county
In fact, Mr. Brink knew nothing re-
gardine the transaction as he was un-
der the impression that we were not
giving tickets on county purchases as
the county purchases were made un-
der a contract price. He knew nothing
about the matter until several days
after the car had been awarded.
| We hope this will clear away any
wrong impressions that may prevail
regarding this matter.

SCARCITY OF DUCKS is GENERAL.

AT the present time Montana mas
many bodies of water suitable for
ducks and other waterfowl but our
present waters are inadequate TO insure
good duck hunting in all years. and it
possibly offers the most popular shoot
ing" according TO statement by b. +.
Gerry, Secretary of the Montana
Sportsmen's Association.
1.-THE sportsmen throughout the State
should be giving considerable thought
to the construction of dams which will
provide ponds and lakes for private
and public hunting as well as refugees
for ducks. The planting OF suitable
food in such waters is very important
Many of our present ponds and lakes
are full of water during the spring
months but completely dry during the
summer and fall months Under such
conditions the mother birds leave and
the young birds starve or are destroyed
by predatory animals and birds in their
quest for food and water. If they are
fortunate enough to survive, they US
ually find some suitable body of water
many miles distant and the hunters
have to depend entirely upon the
northern ducks for their hunting.
Duck hunting is very poor in Mon
tana this season and there is a gen.
eral scarcity of ducks. but many states
having numerous bodies of water and
refugees are reporting fairly good hunt
ing. The Biological Survey is making
very thorough investigation of the
present duck shortage and will UNI
doubtedly issue a statement in the
near future.
In many locations the cost Of con-
structing these dams would be very
small and the returns very large. A
great number or series OF such waters
would naturally insure more local
ducks and also bring more nothern
ducks into Montana and cause them
to stay for longer period of time
ANY sportsmen's club or organization
constructing such ponds and lakes for
private or public shooting and also
as refugees will accomplish something
that will be of real benefit to them
selves and their communities.
Mr. Gerry also stated that the state
Fish and Game Commission have fur
nished duck food for planting in such
public waters, so far as their funds
would permit. w

their opinion on this 1t is amazing
what some have done in this line in
so short time when conducted prop
erly. I understand that wild caught
furs are decreasing about 50qa an

more than that FUR FARMING IS
THE ONLY SOLUTION. This is the
time to start, even on very small
basis while the hard times are with
us for animals can be purchased cheap.
Next year they will probably be high
again. Write for details and as ! will

LIBBY TERRIERS SWAMP
PLAINS GRIDMEN, 10 TO 6

The Libby high school rampant Ter
riers tanned the gridmen from Plains
Friday afternoon to the tune of 10 to 3.
Libby scored in every frame but the
first while Plains made their points
in the third.
The game started with Libby receiv-
ing. After a few plays the ball went
to Plains. From then on the game was
a punting duel until fairly well into
the second quarter when Williams was
called back, and went over for a
touchdown. The conversion was UNI
successful. From there to the half the
game seesawed back and forth
The second half looked as if Plains
might go places and do things. II
made touchdown in the first few
minutes Of play. The conversion was
no good. This tied things up and looked
bad for Libby, but the Terriers got
their steam roller in action and Will
liams again went over for touch
down. "Powerhouse" Brown made the
conversion a little later, Strengthening
the score Is to 6.
The last quarter saw Williams make
his third touchdown of the game. The
conversion again was failure.
The strength and running attack O
the Terriers could not be questioned
They made II first downs, while Plain:
made four. Libby attempted three
passes and completed two. Plains at
tempted a passes, but completed none
and one was intercepted. The outstand-
ing players for Libby were Williams
Shea. Davidson, Brown, Peterson ane
Pival. Sutliff and Bob Vacura starred
for the losers.
